CentOS 5 :: Strange Message When Running Yum?
Jun 22, 2009
I recently reinstalled CentOS, and after a ton of updates, I'm just about finished getting things set up again. However, today I've noticed this really interesting message whenever I run yum. Just for demonstration, I'm going to remove gnome-screensaver, since I prefer the Xscreensaver anyway. This is the complete output, with the strange message highlighted;$ sudo yum remove gnome-screensaverLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorSetting up Remove ProcessResolving DependenciesThere are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

For some reason whenever I load gnome-terminal using 9.10 I get this message:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

I use Lucid x86_64. Lately I have been getting the following message referencing the mounting of my flash drive on start-up: "The disk drive for /media/UDISK is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." I hit skip and and Lucid continues to boot fine, and the flash drive is mounted and working properly after booting. How can I get rid of this message?

Notice the red-colored band that appeared on the top of this webpage while I was surfing the web.What does this mean? I cut and pasted the band bigger so you can see it better and what it says. I checked for the file on /home but I found nothing. I feel this is threatening my Ubuntu.

This puzzling message pops up during startup and forces a reboot:
Code:
Checking root filesystems. fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem, then the superblock is corrupt. This was typed in not copied.
The laptop is running gentoo linux. Here is the fstab file and instead of having "boot" on its own partition I decided to have both "/" and "boot" in the same partition. This has never caused any problems before so I don't understand what the problem is now.

When I run dmesg I get
Code:
[drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own
Does anyone have any idea what that means?

I use Debian Lenny on desktop. On bootup I get this strange message
Code:
Question one: what is hub 2-0:1.0? A utility? A library? A module?
Queston two: what does "enumerate" mean in this context?
Question three: I can't figure out what "port" is meant: a networking port something on the motherboard one of several I/O port/connector/sockets on the back of the computer? (Hope you know what I mean--- you stick USB connectors into them to connect your computer to a USB device, such as a USB mouse.) the one and only networking port/connector/socket on the back of the computer.
Possibly relevant: I sometimes but not always have a USB cable connecting my printer to one of the USB ports/connectors on the back of the computer at boot time. But the message always refers to "port 1", never 2,3,4. due to lack of options for getting on the Net, I use an Actiontek router which demands to be given 192.168.0.1 which would otherwise be taken by my computer, which instead gets 192.168.0.2. (Grasping at straws...)

I recently installed Antix Mepis 8M on Dell Latitude D410 laptop. Everything is fine except that at boot I get the following weird message: pci 0000:00:1e.0: BAR 7: can't allocate I/O resource [0x10000-0xffff]
It doesn't noticeably slow down the boot and everything works fine once running, but I'm curious to know what it might be and whether it could possibly represent trouble in the future.I googled it and found this: http:[url].....But there is no associated solution, and other results are largely reposts of this query.

When ever I install software it seems to install ok but when I run it all the menus are in another language and I can't understand it this has become very frustrating, I have gone to system / preferances / appearance and tried to change the font through there but it still seems to happen when I install software from synaptic package installer. so some of the software I have running on here like open office ect is impossible to read.

Upgraded two systems yesterday without problems but now have a strange problem with a third. The upgrade went well I think but the kernel hasn't upgraded. Its installed and grub.conf has it listed as the default but after a reboot ( many times now ) the kernel version is unchanged.

I have CentOS 5.5 running as a desktop, on Live USB with persistent overlay. It's been working great since January. However yesterday I noticed something strange. Almost all the binary files, including those under /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin, have been modified, compared to the originals in squashfs.img (I mounted squashfs.img and did a "diff -r" comparison). The timestamps all remain the same, but the sizes of the binary files have been increased by a typical 1 - 3 KB.
The system has never been updated, other than a few minor package installations via yum. It's running behind a firewall with no services except an SSH server on a non-standard port. Checks on log files etc. didn't find anything suspicious, and chkrootkit turned up nothing.

I was checking my server and found a /net directory with nothing visible inside. The mysterious directory is /net and I checked to make sure nothing was mounted to it:
[root@mysql /]# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig')

First off, I am still using 10.04. This hasn't happened to me until now. I was in Vista (I have vista on another partition) doing some things in Photoshop, and I saved it, and done. I restarted to go back into ubuntu and when it was booting it gave me a message saying:
Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
If I click OK (there are no other options) it takes me to a screen asking, "What would you like to do?" The options are:
Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session
Reconfigure graphics
Troubleshoot the error
Exit to console login
Restart X

After a momentary power failure My server did not reboot due to a disk error. I rebooted and ran an disk repair and the machine booted fine. Now if I got to the update manager and try to update I get the following error:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I checked the file location listed the file is there (hidden). Should it be a hidden file? If so how do I repair this error? I went to the preferences of update manager and changed the following, Updates every 2 days from weekly, Changed the server location from US server to main server. The update manager ran and updated 13 files. I don't know what change repaired my issue but a guess is, changing the download location from the US server to the Main server.

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on an old Pentium 4 desktop PC I have, which is not being used for much other than being a MTA, and I want to migrate this functionality onto the CentOS platform for stability (Windows is a perpetual nightmare. I partitioned a spare 20GB to experiment with, and I want to install CentOS into here to play around with first so I can move my files around between Windows and CentOS, until I'm happy all of the stuff is gone, then I can scrub the Windows partition and claim the space for CentOS.
So, I've downloaded and burned the DVD and tried to install. I start the install with no args from the main install menu, and the process goes through some probing and then comes up with the "Welcome to CentOS" menu. I go through this, and then it tries to start X Server. It fails, and falls back to text mode. I get the "Welcome to CentOS" screen again, and then proceed through it. I set my keyboard layout to UK, then this message comes up at the bottom of the screen:
"_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6001: Temporary failure in name resolution"
then on the next line: "Cannot open display :1" If I force the install to text, by typing "linux text" at the first menu, I get about the same way through, but the install just hangs doing nothing, and no disc access to the install disc.

I get this : Code: [root@Fedora philip]# gedit (gedit:3132): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

I now tested it being not root and it's ok:
Code:

No error when I'm not root. So it's only when I become root and run gedit in terminal I get errors, why?

Why is it when I run gedit, there are always tonnes of error or warning messages? (Even though my gedit ran successfully)
To name a few:
1. GConf error: failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you ned to enable TCP/IP networking for 0 RBit, or you have stale NFS lockes due to a system crash.
2. Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply among others.
Just to mention again my gedit is running fine though. Is there any configuration that I missed out? or I can disable to avoid these nuisance?

Here's the background info -- I recently installed Ubuntu server 8.04 on TWO machines that are exactly identical.On one machine, all seems perfect.On the other, when I execute "/etc/init.d/samba status" it always shows that smbd is NOT running.But it would seem that it IS running, since I can access the shares I've set up without difficulty either from smbclient on the server or from the windows boxes on the network.ps ax lists smbd as a process as well.The log tells me nothing -- it just reports that samba started. No errors. Not much of anything in there. And if I execute smbstatus, that works just like you'd expect.since the two machines are identical (and I mean exactly the same), and only one is doing this.
I guess I should be happy since they both work (seemingly perfectly).But it still bothers me that I'm getting the message that smbd isn't running on one of them. I tried uninstalling samba and reinstalling it on the machine giving me the erroneous (?) status message. But that changed nothing.Right now there's no data on the machine, and it's not in production, so just doing a bare metal reinstall of the OS is an option. But I'd like to understand what's happening.

So I've searched across these forums and haven't quite found the same problem I'm having. For the record, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 So I built my new box, and my video card is a Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 9600GT (GIGABYTE GV-N96TZL-1GI). I go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to install the drivers so I can use those fancy 3D effects. It tells me I need to restart, so I do.
When it comes up though, I get an error message about running in low graphics mode, the top 5th of my screen is blacked out, and the screen has been shifted so that the left boundary is in the middle, and the right boundary goes off the screen and back to the left side. It goes back to working fine (but without the fancy 3D effects) when I remove the drivers. Both drivers in the hardware drivers (185 and 173) have this problem. I'd post log files and such, but I'm at work right now.

I am trying to install CentOS 5.2, and the installation ran out of disk space after running for about 2 hours.I checked the FAQ, and it said 1.2 GB. The disk is 3 GB. The default install was selected, and I think that it checks for sufficient available disk space before installing. Still, it ran for quite a while before announcing that it was out of disk space.The Installation Guide is not very helpful, since there is a blank page where the disk space requirement is supposed to be. I just picked the default installation. A search of the forums on "not enough disk space" did not return much.
