Ubuntu Installation :: Reboot After Update - Invalid Magic Number Error
Jan 7, 2010This has to be the sixth time I am going to have to reinstall Ubuntu (Can't get enough of that Linux greatness) in the past 6 months. I just don't understand what exactly is wrong, I don't install anything extra (but the ubuntu restricted extras) yet updates that ask me to reboot will take me to a GRUB command line screen and trying to boot through the command line interface gives me an, "Invalid Magic Number", error.
There should be an official tool for when problems like this come up, so that users like me can easily move their files off their HDD before reinstalling. I didn't come here to rant but, does anyone know what may be causing this everytime, how it can be avoided maybe even how to deal with the Magic Number error and boot in (I wouldn't mind typing in the commands every time BTW)?

General :: Adding A Kernel In GRUB For Kubuntu 9.10: Invalid Magic Number
Apr 19, 2010I've compiled and added a kernel in Gentoo before. It doesn't seem to go quite as smoothly in Kubuntu 9.10 These are the steps I followed: I unpacked the kernel in /usr/src and ran make && make modules_install succesfully. Then I copied the kernel in arch/x86/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.6.32 This entry is the one given by Kubuntu:
Code:
menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" {
recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
set quiet=1
[code]....
I just read the script that update grub uses. Changed the name of the kernel from xyz to vmlinuz-2.6.32-generic and it worked.
Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot 10.04 LTS And CentOS 5.5 - Error "invalid Magic Number"
Oct 3, 2010i wanted to see the red hat side of things and do some virtualization with CentOS, so i am trying to dual boot ubuntu 10.04 LTS and CentOS 5.5. the machine is a laptop, toshiba A100 series. what I did was to create the following partitioning scheme via Ubuntu LiveCd
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 19457 156288290+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1 2103 16892284+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 2104 9988 63336231 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 9995 12623 21117411 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 12624 18800 49616721 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 18801 19457 5277321 82 Linux swap / Solaris
created an extended partition and in there have made sda5 and sda6 as / and home for ubuntu and sda7 and sda8 as / and home for CentOS. and sda9 as swap. I installed ubuntu first and then installed CentOS with no bootloader. Run sudo update-grub through ubuntu and now i have both Ubuntu and CentOS available. But when i select CentOS, i have an error which reads "invalid magic number".
I have grub2 installed, haven't downgraded or done anything to it and the ubuntu install is fresh, one week since i updated to 10.04 from scratch. I have found much contradictory stuff on google, but not something that provides a definite solution and also this post but the second command provided in the solution is one i cannot understand very well and it doesn't seem to work. what I am doing wrong here and how to make this work. I would prefer to do things via Ubuntu since debian stuff is what i am comfortable with and i am installing CentOS to learn not to do work on it.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Wubi Upgrade Seems To Have Corrupted Bash / Error "invalid Magic Number"?
Jan 4, 2011I tried the steps usually offered (modifying the grub.cfg file, replacing the wubildr files), it still wouldn't boot.
I booted in with the LiveCD to try to chroot into the environment and try running 'update-grub'. However, whenever I tried to chroot, it said it could not execute /bin/bash!
Trying to modify the grub commands manually (which originally gave the error: you need to load the kernal first), in the end said "invalid magic number"
There are some configuration things set in this installation I would like to not lose. Is it hopeless?

Debian Installation :: Grub2 Doesn't Recognize The UUIds - Invalid Signature
Aug 11, 2010I have /dev/sda with Squeeze and Win 7 on it, and /dev/sdb with Squeeze. I've managed to get Grub 2 to boot from /dev/sdb1, but only by disabling /dev/sda from being a boot option in the BIOS. When it is available to boot, and lower priority than /dev/sdb, grub does not recognize the UUIds of the disks. So, I've disabled it for now and can boot from /dev/sdb no problems. Trouble is I cannot get Win7 to boot. Grub prints:
error: no such device: f0903a3a903a081c
error: invalid signature
When I boot into Squeeze and run 'blkid' I can see that:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="F0903A3A903A081C" TYPE="ntfs"
The Grub entry for Win 7 is:
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f0903a3a903a081c
chainloader +1
}
I don't understand how Grub 2 cannot recognize the UUIds. Can Grub 2 to be made to work with volume labels or just plain old /dev/... descriptions? Maybe I should give grub-legacy a go.
Hardware :: Always Getting Bad Magic Number In Super-block?
Jul 1, 2010I've been setting up a number of netbooks for friends in a group I belong to. I am installing Ubuntu 10.04 and/or Linux Mint 9 on all of the netbooks. The netbooks are all identical. Everything has seemed OK until yesterday. I tried to set the label on the new disk using: # e2label /dev/sda newlabel The error is Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda. Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
But the filesystem seems fine. It is mounted. It booted up without errors. But all the e2* tools give the same error. So I checked another netbook with an identical fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. It gives the same error although the system appears to work fine. Next I went and checked my own netbook. It is identical except I swapped out the HDD for an OCZ Vertex SSD. I aligned the partitions and prepared that drive carefully. It seems to work great. But when I ran e2label on it I got the same error message.
All the other installs are fresh, clean, standard installs where I let the installer use the whole disk and do the partitioning automatically. All are using ext4. I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 9 and it has the same error as Ubuntu 10.04. Kubuntu 10.04 on my desktop gives the same error too.
Hardware :: Installing New RAID Card Causes Existing Arrays To Have Bad Magic Number
May 13, 2010I have two SAS RAID controller cards in a Dell server in slots 2 & 3, both with an array hanging off them. I went to install a third card into slot 1, but then when it boots it says two of my sd's have bad magic number in the super-block and it wants me to create an alternative one, which I don't want to do. If i remove the new card, the server boots perfectly like it did before I added the new card. Is the new card trying to control stuff that isn't hooked up to it because its in slot 1, so its confusing RHEL?

Jun 19, 2015Parted Magic doesn't detect the SSD for some reason. I've been trying to install ANY form of Linux onto my chromebook, wiping the SSD first and then installing Linux to it. For the last few months actively trying to do so, all has failed. I decided to get an m.2 connector that plugins into a gpu slot to connect it to my desktop (the SSD is micro-sized...) and it fits perfectly, but when opening Parted Magic from a simple USB drive, all my devices show up except my SSD.
Previously, the installations of Linux onto my Chromebook have always failed with a "not enough memory" message, trying all solutions found online and responding to other's posts, they suggested me to do this since they can't see the problem either. I never knew a basic wipe on an SSD, and installation of Linux would be so difficult. Everyone online says "it's so easy even without crouton" and is plug-in-play essentially. No, it is not.
General :: Parsing Err Or Invalid $END - Correct User Use Of Invalid Characters

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Invalid User Using SSH
Nov 26, 2015I just installed Debian Jessie (3.16.0-4-amd64) on a desktop box I intend to use as a server in our home office. During installation I included the web server and SSH server options. I have a user account, 'mitchell' set up in addition to root. Everything is working great except that I am unable to log in via SSH from other machines, such as a Windows desktop also on the office LAN (using PuTTY). From the PuTTY terminal it looks like the user name is accepted because the password is requested, but after entering the password it says "Access denied".
Back on the Debian box in I see:
Code: Select allNov 26 14:12:02 DebianDevP6TSE sshd[2278]: Invalid user mitchell from 192.168.1.96

So I am guessing I need to set up either the SSHD server, or maybe something in PAM, to authorized users for SSH access?
As a note, "mitchell" is the user name I use to log on to Debian, and I am entering the same user name and password when trying to log in via SSH.
If I try to log in via SSH as "root" I get the following in the log:

View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian :: New Invalid Eth0 Connection On Boot
Jan 23, 2015I'm using NetworkManager for networking.After a big Debian upgrade I had a new problem.Every boot it create a new (invalid) "eth0" connection, and NetworkManager connect automatically to it.As expected, the connection is invalid, and I'm not connection to the Internet.
What I do to fix this every boot is manually remove this wrong "eth0" connection and NetworkManager automatically connect to my good eth0 connection.
Note: If I boot my machine N times without deleting connections, I see N same and invalid "eth0" connections.I think this happen because /etc / network / interfaces conflicts with NetworkManager, but I don't know what trigger this. Here is my relevant configuration:
/etc/network/interfaces:

Debian Configuration :: Raspbian On Raspberry Pi Always Get A Invalid IP Address
Jan 7, 2016I got the Raspberry pi 2 Model B.

I got the same results by connecting my Pi directly to my modem (wired).

Debian Hardware :: Scanner Fail With Invalid Argument
Oct 29, 2014This error is very difficult to solve, but also appears widespread across the Debian universe and also others like Arch and Fedora. I use a Canon LiDE 110 scanner and it has always worked very well under Linux. This same problem affects many other scanners not just the 110. Run any front end like xSane and after initially appearing to be OK it will fail with an Invalid Argument error.
But, it does not happen to everyone. I have several machines to experiment with so I did. I also used Debian Testing and Sid, Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 and various Mint versions and desktops.
The error is all to do with USB3. Plugging the scanner into a USB2 port does not in and of itself solve the issue. Nor does running the scanner through a hub. On my older laptop without USB3 hardware my scanner works like a charm using any modern Linux. On my very old spare desktop it also works fine despite having USB3.
But, on my shiny new Intel i5 on an ASUS H97I Plus it all falls apart. After much reading of forums and many dead ends we find the problem is modern machines with Intel xHCI Mode in the BIOS. It has to be off, not enabled, auto nor super auto. But when you turn it off you turn off USB3 support and your system falls back to USB2 only. My old spare machine has an AMD chipset and USB3 enabled does not cause this error.
So if you need to use your scanner and get this error then xHCI mode is the workaround. Fine if you have no real need for USB3, but most definitely a temporary solution.
Where in the system does this error come from? Too hard for me. Is it in Sane or in the libusb sub system or all the way up to the kernel? However if you have any USB device that has stopped working this setting in your BIOS has got to be worth a try. It is nothing to do with permissions or firmware.
sane-utils updated to 1.0.24-5 in sid (Dec 12, 2014) problem still exists.
