I am attempting to install Ubuntu Server 11.04 on a fairly old system. I downloaded the 32bit installer and burned it to a disk but got an error when it tried to install.
I checked the ISO md5sum, for all 4 versions(Server/Desktop 32/64 bit), and all 4 were wrong.
It is my understanding that the md5sum was corrupted during the download process, so is there a way that I can fix these without having to redownload them and crossing my fingers?
In my digging around I think I read about using a bitTorrent client to repair the iso but that would only be if you torrented the iso in the first place? I used the direct DL from the Ubuntu site.
I need to install mysecureshell and when I try and do the rpm manager informs me that I need to install libcrypto.so.7. I cannot seem to find this file to download anywhere. How can I get it?
System gets corrupted when I abort a kickstart installationI have a simple kickstart installation of CentOS 5.5 (same issue on 5.3)The only user interaction is the partitioning screen.if, in my cfg file, I state :-

I have a virtual ubuntu machine (wubi) under windows 7. Recently, I have been unable to boot ubuntu because the file /ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.mbr appears to be corrupted. Windows 7 boots fine. How can I repair my ubuntu without loosing my files or how can I retrieve my user files before I install ubuntu again?
Had a lot of computer trouble recently and had to have my hard drive wiped and Windows re-installed by a repair shop. They put in the Home Edition of XP.
Now I immediately want to install Linux again. However, when I try to load the Mint live cd I get the above information.
When I try to load the PclinuxOS live cd I get 'log in Local Host' and I don't know where to go from there.
When I try to load the Suse live cd I get nothing.
At the start of my troubles I got 'file kbdclass.sys is corrupted'. This hasn't returned.
I recently removed Winblows Vista from my laptop and replaced it with Kubuntu 10.10 (I left the recovery partition on there, just in case). When I turn on the computer, the GRUB menu appears, I press enter, then a little flashing underscore appears on the screen in the top left hand corner. After a few seconds, the Kubuntu logo appears and I can log in.But yesterday I replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu 10.10. The Boot process is the same, but the little flashing underscore in the top left hand corner flashes for about 10 seconds longer then Kubuntu 10.10 did, and then a few paragraphs of text appears for a few seconds, then I am logged in automatically.Is this "unusual" boot process anything to worry about, or am I just being a noob.
I got an iPhone 3GS and it seems to give me a weird error when trying to mount it. Here is a screenshot. Here are a few details on the system: * Fresh install (Debian 6.0) netinstall. * Added the ipw2200-bss.fw during install * Installed using eth0 (network cable) using the mirror.isoc.org.il mirror. (possible corrupted file?) * Machine is an IBM ThinkPad T43. The image is to big to fit here, so here is the link: [URL]
I downloaded a game and used wine to install/run it. It plays perfectly fine the first time, until I exit the game and want to run it again. When I try to run the game again, it says that the files are corrupted. how can i fix this?
I am using Ubuntu since release 8.10, but it is first time when i can`t solve problem
when i tried to create new NTFS partition on unallocated disk space with Paragon Partition Manager (damn, that was stupid). Process was aborted with error (later i finally made it with Gparted without problems)
After reboot mine Ubuntu say:
Code: Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /
Press F to attempt to fix errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. I pressed "F" but that had help only for a boot and doesn`t really fix error :`(
Later i booted from liveCD and had checked partition (/dev/sdb1; file system - ext3) with gparted (result - aborted fixing process with error) Now i can`t even boot from that partition and even mount it from other linux system.
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Running the requested command in terminal, I get
ubuntu@ubuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/updates$ sudo dpkg --configure -a dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0001' for reading: No such file or directory ubuntu@ubuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/updates$ ls -l
[code]...
Also tried to move, copy and rename the file and also to delete the updates folder with rmdir. Also tried rm -i * but it seems there is only the one file in the folder. The only strange result is the "total 4" when I run the ls -l command:
I think that my external hard drive was either "unsafely removed" or powered off at a critical moment because when I tried to connect it to any OS Mac, Windows Ubuntu etc. It could not be read. I forget the Windows error message but the Ubuntu one was "mount error 2".In any case I downloaded testdisk asked it to analyze my hd and about half way through it said that the number of heads per cylinder were 128 and it more than likely should be 255 (or the other way around I forget which but I know the numbers are right). So I went and changed the geometry of the external HD such that the number is what testdisk told me was and the result is that my computers can read it but it seems that all the files are missing.
I used photorec and I have recovered all the files (unnamed and disorganized of course)So this leads me to the following question: is there any way I can repair my file system or access the files so that I don't have to go through the 16,000+ files rename and reorganize them again?
Session management with gnome-session-properties and GDM appears to be broken in CentOS 5.3 and 5.2. I can't comment on earlier versions.Activating "Automatically save changes to session" does work--for example, on the next login, the terminals that were open at the last logout are reopened.
But if "Automatically save changes to session" is not selected, according to help,"when you end your session the Logout Confirmation dialog displays a Save current setup option."This does not happen. No "Save current setup" is offered, regardless of whether or not "Ask on logout" is selected.
Also according to help, if one has added sessions with gnome-session-properties, then when one logs in "on GDM, you choose a session. When you choose a session, you can select which of the multiple sessions to use."This does not happen. No matter how many sessions one may have added with gnome-session-properties, none of them appears in the list of sessions that GDM presents.
So it appears that only a small fraction of session management functionality works in CentOS 5.3 and 5.2.
Recently I installed openSuSE 11.3 x64 on PC with Intel motherboard, 4GB RAM & two of 1TB WD RE3.Of course I set RAID1 during installation After some struggle with GRUB which pointed to wrong devices after installation I started to work. But suddenly I found that file system is corrupted after every reboot (It does not depend on what I use and what the way I use - reboot, shutdown -r now or even just poweroff - everything follow to:
Starting MD Raid mdadm: /dev/md2 has been started with two drives mdadm /dev/md3 has been started with 2 drives mdadm /dev/md4 has been started with 2 drives mdadm /dev/md5 has been started with 2 drives
I'm COMPLETELY new to linux. I"m running Ubuntu 9.10 and TRYING to install Devede. I have tried the Terminal, Synaptic Manger, and the Add/Remove and still keep getting this same error. I'm running a regular 32 bit Pentium 3 process to test if I like Linux or not. this is what it says: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-extra-52_4%3a0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu3_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive this is not a DUAL boot computer either.
Nautilus File Manager search in a directory seems to be corrupted. It's glued to a previous search and you cannot start a new one. Anybody know how to repair?Clicking the magnifying glass goes to this directory (it reads Search for ""under the Title Bar).
I have a fairly simple iSCSI setup using two devices, but they have swapped names on different machines. running CentOs 5.3 ia64, and using iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.18.el5
vm1: [root@vm1 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 4194 MB, 4194304000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 509 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[Code].....
Any way to get iSCSI to mount the devices as consistent device names ?
How to make sure that when I save a pdf file, the file extension .pdf appears in the filename? Its a silly little thing, but annoying. The file browser recognises it afterward as a pdf file though, it opens with document viewer ok.
I'm going to reformat my external drives to get rid of the crud that I've built up. (Crud being incremental backups, windows software, and similar things.)(I also want to get rid of the FAT32 file system that they use.) These are USB 1TB drives. The theory is that data is written to it once, but read back a number of times. (I also burn that data to DVD. If there was software that could organize 5TB of data on DVDs, I'd be using them.)
I"m trying to decide whether to use ReiserFS, Ext4, or another file system. Basically, I want something that:
* Won't get corrupted when the power fails; * Can handle files that are 4+GB in size; * Uses extends --- preferably without user intervention;
The Ext 4 file system of the partition (dev/sdb1) is corrupted. When I seek to repair this using the boot repair tool it is unable to resolve this. I admit that I don't fully understand the problem - except that I'm unable to open and use programs.
The app in linux server(CentOS 5.3) uses files from a mount directory(Shared windows directory in read only mode). At the same time, the same file might be edited by user in windows env. We were assuming that as the windows folders are mounted in read-only mode in linux so any change done by user in windows environment would be fail safe i.e. can be safely committed to the file. But when the file concurrently used both by Linux and as well by windows, at some point linux does not release the file handles and the files get corrupted(deleted too). Earlier we were using win2k server and this step was hardly reproducible and win2k was releasing file handles quickly. But with centos, we really had touch time managing files.
Does anyone know how I can make a program run automatically when a file appears in a particular directory? I have two computers, one to program the firmware on a microcontroller (command line only), and the other is my desktop machine running Ubuntu. I have an NFS share between the two. What I want is to be able to drop a new firmware load into the shared directory from the desktop, and have the other computer notice it and program the microcontroller with it. Right now I have to open an SSH session to the other computer, run the program manually, and then delete the file. I would like to automate all of that.
I have made a persistent live usb of suse 11.2 using a '.iso' file. Now when I boot from the Live usb, the file system appears read only. I want do some modifications in the files.
I have a problem with streaming from .mov from Appl.com. As most of you must know, the iPhone 4 was announced in WWDC 10 on Monday. I am interested in it and I wanted to watch the keynote (available at different resolution:[URL]... When I click on low-large resolutions, Totem opens up and I get this error message:
Code: GstDecodeBin2: This appears to be a text file When I click the HD , totem opens, and video starts streaming, but it is of a terrible quality (so much for Apple's "perfect presentation" rep). I'm not so sure this is so much a problem of Ubuntu as of my network connection. I have heard that "live" streams are not of that great quality because the video player is prioritizing to deliver live continuous stream, I can understand that. But I want quality video. So, can any of you Linux guru's (I am a newbie) tell me if this is a problem with Ubuntu (not proper mov codecs?), my connection? Apple?
Also, as I understand it, if I were to download the stream, it would have full quality because the player isn't focusing on delivering it live. Is there any app/Firefox extension/hack/terminal code, etc.
This header file no longer appears when it is set as the "stylesheet/imags/heading banner"
Ubuntu 11.04 GnuCASH v.2.4.2 (from the ubuntu 11.04 repos)
This worked in GnuCASH Ubuntu 10.04 (gnucash 2.2.9-5) but no longer works after doing a clean install followed by copying ~/.gnucash and ~/.aqbanking back into place. The rest of the attributes of both my custom Invoice & Report stylesheet still work (ie colours, etc.) but even when creating a brand new custom stylesheet I cannot get these images to appear after adding them to a stylesheet and saving the settings. This worked fine in the previous version of the application. I have tried deleting the old stylesheet(s) and recreating from scratch and the only thing that does not work is placing the banner or logo images where they are supposed to be. I've done an strace to verify that the image is being found: it's just not appearing.
[code]...
I have asked around on IRC (irc.gnome.org #gnucash) and it was suggested that it might be a webkit issue, libwebkitgtk is verified as installed.
