@Fabby @A.B. Okay "sudo apt-get install gddrescue" seems to have executed normally, but the second command doesn't seem to work:

@kos No. The smoke already found its way from the pot floor upwards, so the rice was full of dark brown "channels"... It looked funny though. And the pot floor was pushed out a few centimetres, so it spun around on the cooker...
@JeffCaros: Depending on the value of the data on it, you may want to hire a professional data recovery lab. They can recover data on pretty much every disk that died from wear or an internal error.
@Seth: if it's a backup, can't you take the risk of having no backup for half a day? that should be enough to reformat and create a new backup on the reformatted drive.
that's what i do, when i need to reformat my backup media.
I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 and i want to know which display server is running. In first version of Ubuntu it is definitely X server, but recently i got updated my Ubuntu 15.10 and i came to know that some Mir Server packages are going to be installed so how will i know that either Mir is running or X...
isnt this new ubuntu installer a mess? no easy way to install a manually configured encrypted lvm, i finally realised, you can use the ubuntu-server-cd and install the desktop you like

@Fabby I'm trying to remap key in terminal. There's a question asking to remap ^W behavior (which is delete a word shortcut) to ^+Backspace. Now, stty -a tells me werase = ^W and ` erase = ^?` so ^? is Backspace, but if I do stty werase ^-^? it messes up enter key and does not work
@Zacharee1 Well, OK. I have seen before them tagging duplicates of questions when both are dealing with the same application, and in this case openjdk7.
i am totally new on Ubuntu and want to install the Illustrator on my laptop so any one can guide me step by step how to do it.
