UNABLE TO MOUNT DISK DRIVE ON LINUX

This is the usual question often arises while using any of the distribution of the linux with having multiboot Windows OS. You sometimes do not able to mount your NTFS partitions drives.They shows you a weird message which newbie (like me) get tucked at.

Today, I am going to explain you why this problem arises and how to recover this problem. 

What is Mount Point? 

First of all we have to understand what a mount point is. The mount is a starting index of any of the drive which OS keeps the record of so that your logical partitions can accessed. Usually, the OS's automatically keep of it.

This situation start arise when you use Linux along with any of the Linux distributions. Often you see Honduras message like this :

Error mounting /dev/sda5 at /media/shivamnema05/6A8086238085F63B: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda5" "/media/shivamnema05/6A8086238085F63B"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.

Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted

The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown

Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume

read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

This problem arises with some latest versions of the windows, more precisely windows 8 or 8.1. This is due to the Fast Startup feature of Windows 8 and after. It helps Windows to boot faster. i.e., it starts fast and shutdown a little faster.
In normal shut down process power is removed form all components such as CPU, RAM, CD-Rom and hard disks. But in fast start up, Windows 8 saves some system information such as caching the registry etc to a file during shutdown. Part of the metadata about the state of all mounted partitions at the time of turn off is among these system information. This reduces the boot time of the Windows 8 and it creates the trouble for Ubuntu.

Since the information about the NTFS partition is stored in Windows 8, this prevents Ubuntu to mount them as mounting them in Linux will alter the metadata of the partitions. This is why it is in protected mode and you cannot mount it (without being root).

Solution : How to mount Disk partition?

The answer to this is quite easy. You just have perform few simple steps to get rid to this mighty looking problem. Just follow this simple steps :

1. Open the Terminal in your Linux Distro. 
2. Type, sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY 
3. replace XY with the partion index. You can easily figure it out with you error message. 
4. Enter your root password. 
5. Thats it. You're done.

WhatsApp Ban in UK?

The recent news says that if British Prime Minister David Cameron could push for a ban on the WhatsApp and Snapchat if he wins this year’s general election. The move would be the result of new surveillance plans proposed in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris, France.

He made it clear that he wants to stop the use of communications methods which cannot be read by the security services even with a warrant. That would include communications and social media apps WhatsApp and Snapchat which encrypt their data.

WhatsApp added end-to-end encryption to it’s service in late-2014.

In practice, this is imposible to stop the use of these messaging Apps. Even when the New government could impose a ban and remove it from Playstore or many other repositories.

The recent certain terrorist attack leads sign of concern to many countries. Sydney, Peshavar, Assam and now in Paris. Recently DoT ( Department Of Telecomm) in India also banned 32 website by stating that these repositories includes anti nationalist content. Russia also banned many anti nationalist web adderesses.

Now this arises a big question here that does enhancement in communication technology creating a flaw in national/worldwide security? And the Final conclusion to prevent this is ban them.

Bragi Dash : New Generation Wireless Headphones

When you talk about music and then you not about speakers, headphones or earbuds etc it is incomplete. Last week in CES 2015 (Consumer Electronic Show) held at Las Vegas smallest and truly wireless earbuds are presented. The earbud are actually bit costly but the “THE VERGE” and other technical blogs appreciated this amazing product.

At $300, the Bragi Dash earbuds don’t come cheap. But they have a full set of features driving up their price. They support playback from an external device via Bluetooth, but also contain an embedded 4GB music player. They can also track fitness metrics such as heart rate.

Not only does it have fitness sensors, but the built-in accelerometer can allow for gestures — or "macros" as Bragi calls them. By tilting your head up, for example, you could have a voice read you the weather forecast. If a call comes in, you could nod to answer or reject it. Those macros can be swapped, disabled, and programmed to other functions, too. Eventually Bragi wants them to be able to work independently instead of with your phone over Bluetooth.

Man at CES2015 show Bragi Dash wireless Earbud

This is the initials of the wireless era and we move on, we’ll be going to see to a lot of magnificent product like this. A Good start of 2k15 with Bragi Dash.
