I have a Xbox original console (like this model) that has died on me, & I'm thinking of getting another one. But I was wondering if I did get a new one, could I transfer my save games etc from my old Xbox console to the new one ? Scotius (talk) 13:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
When I say that my Xbox has died on me, what I meant was when I've been playing a Xbox game, a DVD or a music CD even, either at the the moment the disc is inserted into the Xbox or at some point after, during playing the disc I start getting error messages like,
"Your Xbox cannot recognize this disc. Make sure it is an Xbox game, DVD movie, or audio CD. Also checkto see if the discis dirty or damaged. Remove the disc to continue."
Also,
"There is a problem with the disc you are using. It may be dirty or damaged."
Also,
"The DVD region of your DVD Playback Kit reciever is invalid. Remove the disc to continue."
When I've gotten these messages i've checked the discs to see if they where dirty or damaged (even when it's been a new game etc). But what I can't work out or understand is that i don't get these messages every time I try to play the same discs. Scotius (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
I have now transferred all my files from my old Fedora 17 hard disk to my new Fedora 20 hard disk. Everything went OK. I simply used cp -a
to copy my entire home and photographs directories. I told cp
to overwrite the profiles.ini
file in the Mozilla FireFox directory, and I didn't have to overwrite anything in the Evolution directory. Now I can access my FireFox profile just like before, and all I needed to access my e-mail was to re-enter my account password, which Evolution helpfully stored in its keyring. But the hostname is still shown as an ugly numerical IP address. I typed hostname -b teletran-1
as root, and it set the hostname to "teletran-1" in the bash prompt. But after I rebooted, the hostname became the ugly numerical IP address again. How can I make my nice custom hostname stay? JIP | Talk 15:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
