I found myself needed (or wanted) to check badblocks of a hard drive from time to time, and I always forgot how to perform such task ;)

Great post! I really don’t feel I know Bash at all when I first read it ;)

Pretty exciting, ah?

BUT, it looks like this…

I’d decided to utilize F-Spot to manage all my photos previously stored in a Linux machine. This little neat photo management application works fairly well for me until it crashes whenever I’m trying to import photos for a specific directory. This is very annoying and makes me want to give it up!

But, wait, isn’t F-Spot a Linux application? So can we debug it? Sure! Fire up the terminal, and run:

f-spot --debug

Now I see what F-Spot is doing, and most importantly, what is causing the problem!

What to do now???

Don’t panic! Take a look at the “USB” device icon on the bottom right corner, has your iPhone connected to the virtual machine? Yea, that’s the problem! You have to connect your iPhone several times during the while process. Just pay attention to that tiny icon, that’s it!
