File transfer to K-1 from Linux Mint

Hi,
I've had my K-1 for just two days now and it's prompted me for updates 5 or 6 time What's with that? It seems that at least one of these bumped me up to Android 3.2.
Right now my main issue is that when I plug the usb cable to my laptop to transfer files to the K-1 the laptop does not see the K-1. The laptop is a Lenovo X-60 with two hard drives and four OS's. Primary OS is Linux Mint9 (Isadora) and that's where I can't connect via USB. I was able to send files one at a time using BT. When I boot into Windows 7 I can connect via the usb cable.
The second hard disk has WinXP Pro and Bodhi Linux but I haven't even tried connecting via those OS's.
I don't have this problem when I plug a usb cable into my G2 Android phone or browsing the phone via BT. But the K-1 is invisible except for single file transfers (right click/send to/K-1 via BT/). I've used it to install a few APK's that I couldn't find on the Market.

First, download the desired update from Lenovo's OTA repository.  There will be a zip file and perhaps also an xml file with the same filename.  Download both, and place them in the K1's "Download" directory.  NOT the "Downloads" directory.
Rename them to update.zip and (if present, update.xml)
power down the K1, then press and hold the volume up button and then press and hold the power button.  Keep holding them both until the K1 enters recovery mode, then release.  Let the K1 do its thing.  It may reboot several times.
Note, it may take a few tries to get into recovery mode, so don't give up.
Note also that the K1 will delete the update.* files from the Download directory, so keep a copy of them elsewhere.
Good luck!

  • File transfer speed and distance from base station?

    I tested the file transfer time (outside with no obstructions) by moving a large video file between my MacBook and a computer wired to an Airport base station.   The times were the same as distance increased until the connection dropped.  Why?

    Do the calculations.
    (Although wireless qualifies more for voodoo project than science).
    500MB translates to 5.7MB/s which is near enough to 46Mbits/s
    500MB in 94sec is 42.6Mbits/s
    That is really slow for 5ghz at such close distance to the airport.
    What OS are you running? Please open the wireless diagnostics.
    About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support
    Run the wireless utility.
    And get the actual link speed and how well it is working.
    Then use iperf to get actual network speeds. Rather than moving a file test the link rates.
    iperf is included in Mac OS and is available via terminal.
    This post gives some clues. http://acidx.net/wordpress/2013/05/testing-a-network-connection-with-iperf/
    I think your seeing a hold up due to slow ethernet say.. 100mbit ethernet will ruin any numbers you are trying to get in tests. As well as older slow Mechanical hdd in laptops.
    But the link speed in the Utility will tell you the story.. if you link at 450Mbps which should be possible up close.. and it drops to say 200Mbps at a range of 130M you are still far faster than the rate determining step.. very likely to be a slow disk plus slow ethernet.
    Go to the performance tab.. and keep it running as you move the computer from next to the Airport to the 130M point. You should see a pretty large drop in connect speed.. but you also need to keep this running as you transfer files.. since it tends to vary greatly during a file transfer.
    For science experiments.. this is already a pretty good one.. you are trying to determine the rate determining step in a network system and why wireless is not causing the problem you expected. The use of actual diagnostic tools is great.. almost like science.
    The big spike in this graph is me changing from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.

  • Accessing USB drive on Home Hub 3 from Linux Mint

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to Linux and am just trying out Mint on an old desktop. All is going fine except I can not access the external drive I have plugged into my Homehub 3.
    If I use Dolphin (the file manager) to browse the network I can see a shortcut to 'Samba shares' from here I can go to 'Workgroup' but only my Win7 laptop and the Dell machine I am browsing from are listed.
    There is an option to 'Add network folder' where I can select: "WebFolder(webdav)", "FTP", "Microsoft Windows netowrk drive", "Secure shell (ssh)" but I do not know the configuration details for any of these.
    Can anyone help me to create/mount my USB network drive?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

    When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
    The file manager I'm using is nemo.
    I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
    Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

    I have the exact same problem.
    The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
    I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
    If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
    If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
    What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?

  • File transfer to multiple clients from server socket

    I have multiple clients connected to my server socket and I need to copy more than 200mb documents from server to all clients over socket. Can we design the issue considering scalability and performance factor? What I am thinking of we should use thread for transferring file from server to client. But at the same time if we have large number of clients then we can't initialize a thread for each client. I think in this case we should initialize less than 10 threads in the pool as the file size is very large. If we keep number of threads in the pool low then probably we have to read multiple times the large server file (once for each group) which might again be a performance bottleneck. Please pour in your suggestions.

    File would be same for an instance only. For example say I have a "SEND File" button & �File Path� text box. In File Path suppose user enters the absolute path of the file and then clicks on Send File button. The responsibility of Send File button would be sending the file mentioned in the "File Path" text box to all connected client. But next time user can choose a different file.

  • Linux Mint 17, migrated from Win7: Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

    I get this error message (The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Generic Folder' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) popping up on many, though not all of my incoming filters. I recently migrated from a Windows 7 installation to a Linux Mint 17 system.

    I did give it time to run through everything when I initially migrated, and it frequently will sit open for 3 to 4 hours while I'm working on other projects.
    The 'Generic Folder' represents sorting folders in my main mail account in Thunderbird. For example, my mail which is listed to filter into my 'Amazon' folder is sorted there with no problem, while any mail designated to be filtered into my 'Games' folder prompts the above error massage.

  • How to transfer R12 files from Linux to window7

    Hi:
    We have 12.1.3, 11.1.0.7 on linux. I was asked to send a file to a user. From other servers I use WinScp to transfer files. But I can not use WinScp because I dont have a password for the oracle user. When login to putty for this server I use a private key so no password is needed. I have this server ip address entered in the hosts file on my laptop so I was able to access to EBS. I will apprecaite you very much if you tell me how to complete this task.

    What is the issue? Do you get any errors when copying the files?
    You can simply use (ssh, sftp, scp, ..etc) -- http://bit.ly/195ErVM

  • Firefox cannot modify the needed file. I get this message when I try to add a theme. I am using Linux Mint 14.

    I am currently using Linux Mint 14 with Firefox 21. I am trying to add new themes and add ons, but I keep getting the message "firefox cannot modify the needed file in linux". How can I correct this?
    Thanks

    Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu. Go to Open Profile Directory (or something similar) and delete a file named user.js

  • How do I install Linux Mint 17 from USB on Flex 10?

    Hello everybody,
    I want to install Linux Mint 17 on my Lenovo Flex 10 device.
    I tried to make two different bootable installation USB sticks using the Rufus software but when I try to boot from them, the boot menu show only Windows. It seems that Flex 10 doesn't like my USB sticks. One is former Mandriva USB, the other is ADATA S102/8GB USB 3.0. Should I try another USB stick?
    I've read several threads relating to this; someone suceeded, more people didn't get any answer.
    One suspicious thing is that Rufus says that I need an EFI ISO image when I choose the UEFI MBR or UEFI GPT partition scheme. Isn't the Mint ISO an EFI ISO image? So the only option that remains is "BIOS or UEFI" scheme. I think that should work but it doesn't. They say that Mint 16 already supports UEFI. So Mint 17 should too.
    Other thing is that there might be an issue with 32/64bit UEFI. How do I switch between 32 and 64 bit UEFI?
    Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?
    --CIgydd Bach
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So I'm going to answer my question myself. * Edit: An ironic note to Lenovo removed. They don't deserve it. *
    For everybody who wants to boot or install Linux to Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10:
    Flex 10 has a 64-bit processor but a 32-bit EFI (UEFI) firmware!
    Therefore I guess most of us have 32-bit Windows pre-installed for it.
    Because Microsoft is so poor that they cannot provide us with a 64-bit system with a 32-bit bootloader. Oops, they cannot provide Lenovo with that combination.
    And Lenovo, you guys prepared me a hell solving the riddle why only my Flex 10 doen't boot Linux, neither 32-bit distros nor the 64-bit ones.
    * Edit: Not removing this one. Yes, you prepared me a hell but it was also a big fun solving the riddle. *
    Because the 32-bit distros don't count with UEFI at all (they suppose older firmware, so called BIOS) and the 64-bit ones don't count with a 32-bit UEFI.
    So I had to download a bootloader one guy precompiled for others to boot the USB with the installation ISO image for Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Here is the bootloader file:
    https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi
    The next post was very helpful to me. There I discovered that I have to download or compile a 32-bit UEFI bootloader:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flex-10-the-installation-of-Linux/td-p/1516596/page/2
    And here I finally followed the instructions how to boot to the USB stick and it helped me a lot in the overall process and progress:
    http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
    There you will see that you have to follow these steps:
    Shrink your C drive in Windows and create a new partition to be deleted and re-used by Linux (Windows doesn't like surprises).
    Turn off the Windows Fast Boot option (or Windows could damage your Linux partitions). 
    Compile or download (see above) a bootloader for the USB stick.
    Boot the stick, make sure the live image runs.
    Run the installation from the live system and install your Linux to the space you created previously (by deleting the new partition and creating root, home and swap partitions there).
    Boot to the newly installed system using the USB stick (you still aren!t able to boot to Linux from disk).
    You can skip the step of compiling WiFi drivers. On Flex 10, they work perfectly out of the box.
    Following the instructions on the last linked page, compile Grub for 32-bit EFI and install it onto your disk. Here I suggest a slight change against the instructions. Don't name the compiled Grub "grubx64.efi" but leave the name "grubia32.efi". I don't know why but after leaving this name, my Flex started to boot Ubuntu from disk.
    Edit: You don't have to compile Grub. In your newly installed system, issue the three following commands (this will install the Grub version for 32-bit UEFI, remove the 64-bit UEFI version, and clean up possible mess caused by removing it):
    sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32
    sudo apt-get remove grub-efi-amd64
    sudo grub-install
    Don't forget to change Grub settings in /etc/default/grub. Also do not forget to run the command "sudo upgrade-grub".
    You can skip the step with compiling new kernel with Flex. Hardware support seems already pretty good (except of touchpad).
    The touchpad interprets a single tap with a finger as a right click. You can disable tapping and get used to the buttons as a temporary solution. It doesn't swap the buttons if you set so. If you are left-handed as me, you can force the swap of the buttons by issuing xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" from a terminal or from a script that you can run automatically on startup.
    I followed exactly the same steps with Linux Mint with a full success.
    On the start, I thought that Linux installation on Flex 10 was impossible.
    As you can see, it is possible. And if you want, you will succeed and reach that goal.
