CentOS 5 Networking :: Unable To Retrieve Software Information
Feb 26, 2010
When I attempt to add software i get the following error:
Unable to Retrieve Software Information
This could be caused by not having available connection.
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: addons
To get my browser to work properly, I have to specify a proxy (manual) and use the IP address of our proxy server. After this, I'm able to get out through the internet
using my browser. Not sure why I fail to get software updates though. I used the same setting in Proxy - Control Center. Repository Manager show's CentOS-5 - Addons mirror list as :
[URL]
..and I can get to the site with the browser.

I've got Ubuntu 10.4 and have been using Rhythmbox to play CDs. When I put a CD in it would always be recognised and Rhythmbox would display the artist and song titles. Today I installed the following package:ubuntu-restricted-extrasThis was so I could rip CDs to MP3s. This worked, however it seems to have also had the side effect of preventing Rhythmbox from retrieving information about audio CDs. If I run Rhythmbox from a shell I get the following debug:
** (rhythmbox:2271): DEBUG: Loading the real store page
** (rhythmbox:2271): DEBUG: navigation requested to https://one.ubuntu.com/music/store-no-token

I recently set up a kickstart server using Centos 5. I copied all 7 of the centos 5 install cd's to the tree. I made the install cd, it boots fine. I'm using http, when I'm prompted, I put in the web site: 1.1.1.1 and the Centos directory of /network-install/RPM
I get the following error:
Unable to retrieve [URL]
I've been told the double slashes after the ip address is not a problem, and I've tested that through a browser, by browsing the same location. (not sure if
that's a valid test, but it did find the directory and display the files.)

We have driversquery software in Windows which list all the hardware and storage drivers. I am aware of lsmod and modinfo command but is there any customized tool which on run should display the overall drivers (both storage and hardware) on linux Machine.

I know that I can get information from my running kernel using the uname command.My question is, how can I retrieve the kernel information from the other distros without booting into them?For example, I have Debian installed on /dev/sdd1 with two kernels in /boot. How do I go about getting the information from these kernels similar to what uname gives?

I'm running a fresh install on an intel i7 system on an asus p6t deluxe v2 motherboard with the onboard NIC (Marvell Technology pci-e). I know the NIC is working as when I boot into the onboard OS that Asus provides (Asus Express Gate SSD)I have a working net connection.Booting up CentOS hangs at determining IP information for eth0 and eventually fails with the following error:PING xxx.170.30.1 from xxx.170.31.231 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data---xxx.170.30.1 ping statistics ---4 packets transmitted, o received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms, pipe 3 failed.

ecently (since upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10) being having problems with Amarok randomly crashing.There doesn't seem to be any pattern and it normally just disappears and music stops. Occasionally it comes up with the KDE crash tracker but it can't retrieve the debug information (although i do have amarok-dbg installed, not sure what else i need for that to work though)Anyway i have run it from the terminal and this is the output i got towards the end:
Code:

I have recently put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a lab computer for use as a file server, but I cannot seem to get our Windows computers to see the Ubuntu share or vise versa.
I right clicked the folder, said share, and did the samba install.I edited the samba smb.conf file per the discussions here, I edited the nsswitch.conf file per the discussion here, I installed winbind, I disabled the firewall, and I rebooted and tried tearing down the share and re-sharing. Nothing seems to work. When I try to access the folders on the windows computers, I get "Failed to retrieve share list from server". When I try to access the ubuntu machine from Windows I get nothing. I have done a ping from each machine to the other and they have no trouble. As far as I know there are no firewalls between the two computers as the Windows computers can see each other's shares just fine and I've never had issues with ports getting blocked with any of our experiments.
The workgroup for all of the Windows machines is UEDA_LAB and I made that change in smb.conf as well as putting the computer name love218-legolas.
I have attached my smb.conf and nsswitch.conf files.
My main goal is to get the ubuntu folder seen by the Windows computers (for read/write/etc) so that it can be used as a file server.

I keep getting this, ever time I try to map a shared drive on other systems with my small network. 'unable to mount location failed to retrieve list from server'. This used to work.
Main System UNBUNTU 10.10, GNOME ver. 2.32
Sys2 Windows XP Pro, SP3
Sys3 Windows XP Home SP3
[code]....
Mine is used as a server for the above, and also for me to work on. For some reason, I keep getting permission failure. Setting up a share on sys2. sys3, sys4, sys5 can see and read it. My main sys cannot. None of the systems can see the Main one & the main one cannot read any of the others.

My network has several machines on it. They are all connected to a single router. Two of the machines are running Windows Vista, one Windows XP and one Fedora 11. When I go to places.network, I see an icon that says Windows Network. If I click on it, I get the message: Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server. When I had Ubuntu running on this machine, I had no problem seeing and connecting to the Windows Vista machine.

My network was running happily with no problems. After clicking "Places," then "Network," I double-clicked "Windows Network." My wife's laptop appeared merrily ready to be clicked. I browsed through and accessed the "Public" folder. Ubuntu auto-mounted the "Public" folder on the Windows Vista machine to the desktop.
THE REASON:I wanted to change the icon to a disk so it would mimic a "mapped" drive like in Windows. I right-clicked the shared folder mounted on the desktop, clicked "Properties," and then clicked the picture of the folder. I then clicked through to "/usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/devices" and selected the "drive-harddisk.svg" icon. The icon changed and I could still browse. I unmounted and re-mounted the folder with no problems, then changed back the disk to the regular folder icon.
THE PROBLEM: After restarting the computer, if I click "Places," then "Network," then double-click "Windows Network," I'm greeted with the following error message: Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server.
WORKAROUND: Opening Firefox and typing smb://IP-of-wife's-laptop shows the share list. I can open and access the "Public" folder no problem.

It seems this is a common problem. I used Samba to configure and connect the computer running Ubuntu 11.04 with my Windows Visa workgroup. This is a wired, not wireless, connection.
In Ubuntu, under Network, I can see the name of the other computer (NOVA_MORAI), but when I click, I get the error:
Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server
I tried the nmblookup command, here is the output:
eleos@Planet-Morai:~$ nmblookup NOVA_MORAI
querying NOVA_MORAI on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.2 NOVA_MORAI<00>
And:
eleos@Planet-Morai:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.1.2
[Code]....
There it it. But when I try the findsmb command, it does not show up.
The error message seems common, but I have been trying solutions all day, and I am still not getting a connection.

I'm having trouble connecting to my freenas server.
It's part of my windows network and when I try to connect to it,I get this message: Unable to mount location,Failed to retrieve share list from server.
Is there something I need to enable on the server or my OS(CIFS or something)?

I have been running into network issues lately with my CentOS 5 (installed on AMD Athlon X2 - 64 bit machine about 2 years ago). It was able to connect to the network fine until yesterday when I installed more memory into the machine restarted it.
Upon restart, the boot up was paused at 'Determining IP information for eth0' step for a while and booted with out connecting to the network. I tried restarting the network (/sbin/service network restart), but this is the error message I continuously get: Determining IP information for eth0...PING xxx.1.226.1 (xxx.1.226.1) from xxx.1.226.83 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data

I've seen this pop up a few times on the forum but my setup is slightly different. I have a PC with an ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium motherboard. I've just installed CentOS 5.1. Yes, I know this is ancient, but this is what they're developing on at work. I'm trying to get connected either via ethernet or wireless and neither one works. When I boot the computer to Window XP it does connect on ethernet. Ethernet should be easy so I'm concentrating on that. But I get "Determining IP information for eth0... failed." after a 'service network start'.Here is some other information that was asked on similar threads:
> uname -rmi
2.6.18-53.el5 x86_64 x86_64
> grep eth0 /etc/modprobe.conf

i've configured my laptop so i can use my domain account (active directory win 2003 DC) to logon to my machine. Now i'd like to browse and mount shares etc using my logon information. Now when i connect to a share with nautilus it tells me 'guest' can't log in and i need to re-enter my user info. This is a real pain since our passwords change often. Is there some way i can use PAM to authenticate? I've searched everywhere, but you only find info about the other way round (win->linux).

I am trying to install 5.3 using net install disc, where it hangs for over 30 minutes trying to retrieve stage2.img. Second time. After first time and waiting over 25 minutes, I tried Debian net install on another box, and it's done with installation long ago, while this one is still hanging (and from the looks of it I doubt it will continue).
1. Network is good, the box pings, network parameters are good, Debian worked flawlessly with same parameters
2. It did pull all it needed before stage2.img
3. Plenty of RAM in the box, over 3 GB
4. The box needs no additional drivers (except newer version of kernel as vanilla still doesn't have a complete support for Intel DP43TF board), distro has them all

I am running the latest suse release downloaded directly from their website. I ran the installation after buring the dvd and everything seemed to be working fine. after the installation i ran updates and used it for a little bit. When i shut it down that night and went to restart it I got an error that stated the OS wasnt there. I then went through the installation and everything and it retained the information from the installation before (web history etc.) but for some reason every time I reboot or shut it down the system is not able to read the startup information from the hard drive and will not come on without me re installing it.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 (I think) using Evolution 2.28.3. When new messages come into the inbox, I get a message "Unable to retrieve message" in the lower screenI can work around it by clicking on the first folder under Inbox and then back to Inbox. When I click to the subfolder I have a message at the bottom that says "Error while Storing folder 'Inbox'".It would be nice if it simply worked the first time. It feels like it thinks there are two or more folders that might be "Inbox".

I have a fully up-to-dateCentOS 5.6. As of some very recent package update (later than May 12), sound-juicer is unable to retrieve track data for any disc; it just reports "Unknown Title" and "Unknown Artist".
Unfortunately I do not know how to tell which particular package it was, or even how to get a list of recently-updated packages.
Tracks are still extracted fine, it's just the musicbrainz connection which is doa.
I'd be happy to try an alternative program with musicbrainz capability, but couldn't find any. The installed k3b doesn't have any ripping options in the tools menu, where I gather it's supposed to be.
