Debian Configuration :: Booting Often Only After Third Restart?
Aug 17, 2011
My system is a three days old Linux version 2.6.32-5-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-35) with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 60 @ 2.80GHz. It does start, goes through the grub and then spits out strange messages and just freezes before the KDE can be started. I have to restart again, until it really boots everything. This is happening in a random pattern.
I activated bootlog, but as far as I can see, the log only tracks, if the system is really booting. So I also have the dmesg copied into pastebin. These are the only two logs I know, now.
The code of the boot log goes here-
Wed Aug 17 10:24:19 2011: Setting parameters of disc: (none).
Wed Aug 17 10:24:19 2011: Setting preliminary keymap...done.
Wed Aug 17 10:24:19 2011: Activating swap...done.
[Code].....

I have a PC104 running debian. I have 3 hard drives (in addition to the one booting) mounted in fstab by UUID. I use the options defaults,error=remount-ro. However, this means that when I boot with the hard drives not attached, I have to press Ctrl-D to bypass when the boot discovers the drives are missing. Is there a timeout commandoption I can add to fstab so that it automatically continues booting even if the hard drives are not attached? I could not find anything on a timeout command. (I tried adding timeout=1000 but no-random guess)

I'm using Debian 8 and I have ipset v6.23 and iptables v1.4.21. I put a rule with ipset in rules.v4 file and then I restart the iptables with netfilter-persistent service. When I reboot the iptables list is empty. But if in the file I don't put a rule with ipset, after reboot the iptables list is correct.

I've after latest jessie update a problem with service samba restart. If I use "service samba restart", there is a timeout (after long time) and error.
Output of "systemctl status samba.service":
Code:
Select all● samba.service - LSB: ensure Samba daemons are started (nmbd and smbd)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/samba)
Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Mo 2014-10-20 02:16:57 CEST; 7s ago
Process: 6205 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/samba start (code=killed, signal=TERM)
Okt 20 02:16:57 server systemd[1]: samba.service start operation timed out. Terminating.
Okt 20 02:16:57 server systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: ensure Samba daemons are started (nmbd and smbd).
[Code] ....
Whats going wrong. "service samba restart" should bring no error message if the service is not running previously.

So this very (for me) important little package fails me once again. But this time it refuses to restart/start
This is the output:
Setting up openssh-server (1:5.3p1:-1)
Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell Server: sshd: failed!
/dev/null is not a character device!
invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.
[Code].....
The error is within the /etc/init.d/ssh script. ("error")
This is in squeeze so I can only blame my self, but.. This is one of the packages that fair and square should not fail to install/update/start/restart no mather what!

in configuring a fresh install of Squeeze. I discovered that it is possible to power off the system under gnome simply by pressing the power button or by selecting the "Shut Down" entry on "System" menu.However I need to restrict this option only to root. How can I do that?

I installed the latest Debian on a computer to make a backup appliance. No GUI.When the computer starts, everything is okay. The DHCP client is running, the network interface have an address, fine.If I do a /etc/init.d/network restart (or stop + start), no more DHCP client. t is stopped when the interface is down. When the interface is up, I have to start it manually.1 - is it normal ?2 - isn't ifup's job to launch the dhcp client ?3 - can /etc/network/if-up.d be the right place to resolve this ?

I am having slight issue with setting up file sharing. I have a windows 7 pc and hp proliant microserver running. I have a raid array which I am using as a share for storing music, pictures etc. When I reboot the debian server I can't connect to the server from the windows 7 PC (I have mapped a network drive) until I go on to the server and restart samba with /etc/init.d/samba restart - then everything works fine. I can ping the server with both ip and hostname but the network drive does not connect - this is straight after a reboot. Is the /etc/init.d/samba restart doing something differently to when the server boots? I have read several posts relating to printer sharing issues which point to samba not starting before cups so I am wondering if samba is starting before some of the relevant networking services.

Want to boot from ISO on usb with grub. Both the netinst and hd-media netinst initrds have no findiso/iso-scan/fromiso option that allows me to locate the iso file in question. Is there a boot parameter that does it? Do I need to download a new initrd version? Is there any debian build AT ALL that allows mounting iso from usb?

I use the SMXI script to install my graphics drivers (nvidia). It hasn't been booting to desktop for a while though. If I just run a
Code: Select allservice gdm3 start
the desktop starts though. Here's my xorg file.
Code: Select allSection "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
[code]....
I've also tried doing a Xorg -configure to no success. I've also reinstalled the driver many times.

I wanted to be able to have a boot option to just use a command line with no X running at all. What I did was remove the gdm3 link in rc5.d . Then in /boot/grub/grug.cfg I made a new menuentry that is exactly the same as the default but I changed this line:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=3e926e70-cb92-4847-997c-37aabda532ff ro quiet to this line: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=3e926e70-cb92-4847-997c-37aabda532ff ro 5
This worked. It gave me a command line interface with no X running.
My question is is this the recommended way in Debian? If not what is?
I have been using Linux for a very long time but I used mostly Slackware. I tried Redhat for awhile but really hated bluecruve, shows how long I have been using Linux. I have played with other distros but I always went back to Slack. But I really dislike KDE4 so Slack is no longer an option. KDE4 reminds me of a 12 year old girl that got a big box of makeup and had to use every bit of it. I now am using Debian on my laptop. And as aside I gave my 16 year old daughter a laptop for her birthday. She used the included version of windows 7 for awhile but then asked me what would be a good Linux distro for her. I showed her distrowatch and told her to look at the top distros. She then asked me to help her put on Debian. She loves it. She is a very good musician and song righter, She actually gets paid for doing that at 16, and really likes the programs in Linux to work with sound files. She also does MIDI stuff with our Yamaha Clavinova.
Now we are trying to do things the Debian way and it is a little different then other distros. So did I do the command line thing they way it's recommended in Debian. I have looked on line but all I could find was working in a shell and that is not what I was looking for.

I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).

I recently installed another Linux distro, Kali Linux, alongside my Debian 8 and discovered to my chagrin that my computer boots to Kali's grub rather than to the Debian grub. I had spent some time customizing Debian's grub and would hate to see that effort go to waste. Is there a way I can get my computer to boot to Debian's grub instead? I tried deleting Kali's boot partition with gparted but that did not seem to do anything.

It's hard to understand the whole systemd stuff. Specially in combination with mdadm and sendmail. My goal is to get a mail every boot about the state of the RAID. Also get a mail when someone is wrong with the RAID while my computer is running. How I can reach this target I don't care especially. It just has to be a Debian package and stable
OK, to the story: I made a while ago an dist-upgrade from wheezy to jessie. Before, everything works fine. I boot my computer, the RAID gets checked and a mail was sent to my email-address with the state of my RAID and the disks of it. For this I followed a HowTo from [URL] .... After the upgrade, I dont get a mail anymore.
Here some details.
Actually installed: Debian 8.2 Jessie
Code: Select allsystemctl status mdadm-raid -l
● mdadm-raid.service - LSB: MD array assembly
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mdadm-raid)
Active: active (exited) since Son 2015-10-11 16:11:34 CEST; 21min ago
Process: 281 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mdadm-raid start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Okt 11 16:11:34 xy-server mdadm-raid[281]: Generating udev events for MD arrays...done.
[Code] ....
When I execute
Code: Select allecho "This is a test e-mail from my server using msmtp" | msmtp -d xyz@gmx.net
or
Code: Select allmdadm --monitor --scan --test --oneshot
Everything works. I get the mails like I need it. In my opinion it's not a problem of the mail configuration. It seems, there is no network when the RAID get's started and the mails want to be send.
What I'm wondering is also, that obviously the
/etc/default/mdadm
is ignored by systemd and only the
/lib/systemd/system/mdmonitor.service is executed. But while booting the RAID get's startet with /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid and this should read the /etc/default/mdadm. Right? Confusing!
Anyway, is there a way, how I can easy change the order (without any side-effects) of the startup for the network and the RAID. I can't figure out, which unit I have to change, that it will work. Or maybe is there another solution? Like I mentioned, it's just have to work with Debian stable packages
There are various units who sounds nice, but wich one is the correct one?
Network:
- network-online.target
- network.target
- system-ifup.slice
- ifup@eth0.service
Disks:
- local-fs.target
- mdadm-raid.service
- mdmonitor.service
- -.mount
And how can I be sure, that every dependency of the network units doesn't depend on a filesystem unit?

Since moving my debian server over to a Gigabyte H97N-WIFI motherboard the console dims on booting and generally stays dark. Strangely the screen the brightens up if I go to an emergency shell, but if the boot runs successfully I don't see the resulting login prompts. Also, during the boot process the messages to the console are too dark to see.
I've tried the i915.invert_brightness=1 fix mentioned here [URL].... but that seems to have no effect. I'm assuming that this has something to do with moving to intel graphics as my previous hardware had a radeon graphics card and didn't display this problem.

I haven't used my XP partition for two years, but recently found that I could not program my phone using VirtualBox or Wine. So I tried booting to XP but it just comes up with a flashing cursor. update-grub2 and it sees the part, but same problem.

For some reason I'm suspicious of the Winduhs boot files, but I've run fixboot and the boot repair utility in Winduhs. Do I have to reinstall Winduhs?

I am using Centos 5. I got one error unexpectedly after some configuration for rsync and folder settings. The error i am getting is "Serve Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/gdm but does not exist. Please correct the configuration and restart GDM." after rebooting.
I tried to resolve the issue by setting permission for folder /var/gdm to 755. but the problem is still not resolved.

I have Ubuntu 11.04 on a disk, and installed it on an empty hard drive. When I start my desktop my screen is black with a flashing "_" in the top left corner... Nothing happens. I usually have to restart the computer multiple times before it will actually work. I tried running Ubuntu in recovery mode and fixing any broken packages, but no luck.

Whenever I choose "Restart" from the GDM screen, GDM appears to shutdown, and the first TTY is displayed with a login prompt at the bottom (assuming I haven't used that TTY). I am by no estimation a patient individual, but I waited a solid minute or two for something to happen, but nothing ever did. I end up logging in as root on that TTY and running "shutdown -r now" to get the job done. This is a shared computer, and ideally any user should be able to perform shutdown options graphically from GDM.The only mentioned workaround doesn't apply to me as I am using the nvidia driver, not intel.

Everything was running fine, then I installed ardour (doesn't work, but that not what I am here for), I rebooted and now everything is in low res, and looks horrible, I tried uninstalled and re-installing the driver and that did nothing. When I go into the control panel for the video card I get:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

I am having an issue with ubuntu that is driving me slowly mad. When I start the machine there are two keyboard configurations, USA and USA with dead keys, with the latter selected by default. When using punctuation marks I have to hit them twice otherwise they modify the letter I press next. To fix this I simply have to delete the USA with dead keys configuration. However, every time I restart the machine it is back.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? What is the configuration file that ubuntu loads for the keyboard? I am thinking maybe my user doesn't have permission to edit the config file and that is why the changes don't persist past restart. There were some other threads on here with a similar issue however in all of those cases I saw the fix was to make changes to some offending lines in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. My xorg.conf however does not have a section for the keyboard.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10

I have installed the current Nvidia driver(s) for my video card:
nvidia-gfxGO2-kmp-desktop 260.19.12_k2.6.34.0_12-24.1
x11-video-nvidiaGO2 260.19.12-25.1
nvidia-settings 256.35.0.pm. 1.1
xorg-x11-driver-vido-nouveau 0.0.15_20100401_bfb95cc-1.10
libXNVCtrl 256.35-0.pm.2.1
Now my problem is everytime I save the configuration for
- the open GL settings
- the anti aliasing settings
- the powermizing settings
with the GUI-programm NVIDIA X Server Settings under GNOME
Every setting is lost completely after a restart of my system and the defaults are reset even if i save the configuration in the menu nvidia-settings configuration of the GUI-programm NVIDIA X Server Settings. Is there a possibility to SAVE the settings? They should stay after a reboot.
I think this is a issue very spread under several Linux distributions. I can't understand the source of the mistake or bug.
