Debian Configuration :: Double Mounting Cause System Freezing?
Oct 31, 2015
I have been working with Linux for some time now and moved from "crash-dummy fedora" to LinuxMint and now I'm on Debian 8.I ... The system is freezing and the only way to get it out of freeze is to kill tty7, I log into tty2 as root(which can startx) and kill tty7 via pid...
At first I thought it might be that I have 10 virtual NICs on 1 physical NIC, but after removing them it still freezes after a few minutes of running. Now I am wondering if double mounting/bind causes issues,
Example: drive2 is mounted to profile2/MyStuff, but I also "mount -o bind" a folder inside profile2/ MyStuff/.opera to profile2/.opera..
This is what I mean by double mounting. Does double mounting cause freezing ?Because I have not double mounted, and it hasn't froze yet. and to be honest, I am double mounting/binding several config folders like .mozilla etc...Drives are SSDs, and I created a complete other drive with LinuxMint and it froze the same way after mounts.
How does the 'testing' version of Debian stabilize? I mean, the updates from upstream are very frequent, so if the Debian maintainers upgrade a package till the very end (for e.g if they just upgrade to 2.6.36), when will they get time to test it (so as to freeze it)?
There's a physical problem with my Microsoft mouse (and from what I've heard many other Microsoft and Logitech mice) where it accidentally double clicks during what is intended to be one click from me. I was thinking that surely some software that ignores the next click input from the mouse if it is within say 50ms (At a guess) as the last click would solve this problem and increase the longevity of these mice. Is there an option for this somewhere? Perhaps it would be easy to program a simple script or something for this?
I have a Dlink DWA-142 usb wireless adapter that I am trying to configure on a Debian 6.0 system. I couldn't find any linux drivers for this card so I used ndiswrapper. The drivers (latest xp version from the website) have installed successfully as far as i know because I can see the card and scan for access points using 'iwlist wlan0 scan'.
I tried to use the card with both Wicd and NetworkManager, which both fail to connect to my WPA encrypted wireless router. So after this I went to the command line to find that if I try to connect to the accesspoint using Iwconfig, that the program hangs... as in my terminal does not write a new line because it is waiting for the above command to complete.
I have done:
And the terminal hangs on the above command, so I imagine this is where wicd and network manager were getting stuck too. ndiswrapper is the latest version, compiling from source and reinstalling it made no difference either.
i recently switched from slackware to debian because my laptop kept freezing up on slackware, and now it's doing the same on debian on slackware i would get this error in syslog: "hpet: compare register readback failed" at the exact time of lockup, which would leave me with a blinking capslock led indicator, and a completely frozen system (not even magic sysreq sequence would do anything) now on debian, same symptoms only there's nothing in syslog, and no blinking capslock led hardware is: i7 720q intel pm55 chipset nvidia gt 240m laptop model is lenovo ideapad y550p this will occur both in X and at the console i am using my own kernel as the default kernel doesn't support my ethernet adapter i have tried disabling hpet at boot, but there was no difference i have tried the patch posted here
I am having problem accessing and detecting a HFS+ USB HD Drive. I already installed HFSPLUS apps and its corresponding utils and said HFS and HFSPLUS module is loaded in my kernel.In short, my 1386 Debian squeeze cannot detect the said Drive and such I cannot mount it.
I have one of my user's home directory on a seperate partition, and I was wondering if there was a way to only mount it when/if the user is logged in and unmount it if they log out.
I have two remote systems which I have fstab entries for on the local system. I have them set to noauto, because mount fails during boot for some reason, but that's not the problem. For years I've mounted them in rc.local.
The problem is after I recently reinstalled Debian, when I mount them manually it always asks for my user's password. I've copied my user's pub key from the local to the remote system and put it in the user authorized_keys file (not root), like I always have. But it still asks for a password, and so fails to mount in rc.local.
After having problems with lxde crashing while running Jessie, and re-installing Wheezy, I am not able to mount my WinXP drive. In the past I was able to run pcmanfm and mount the drive from there. It would ask for my root password and then would mount the drive. Now, however, when I click on the drive icon it gives me an error message saying authentication required.
One thing is that when I installed Wheezy I had the WinXP drive disconnected so as to not inadvertently install Wheezy on the wrong drive (I have two identical drives). After installing I connected the WinXP drive and then did a grub update. I can boot either drive, as expected, but I can not mount the WinXP drive from pcmanfm. Do I need to change the Policykit?
I upgraded my testing/Wheezy Inspiron N5010 to 2.6.38-2-amd64 recently (along with a bunch of other updates, of course) and now my Samba network share is no longer automatically mounting, I have to open a root terminal and do a "mount /mountpoint"; my relevant /etc/fstab entry:
I've tried over options, as well, but it isn't automatically mounting. Any suggestions (including where to file a bug report)?
I am using Squessze and Gnome. When I try to use the gui System>Administration>Network or Users and Groups I get the error The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.Everything was working before. I read around a bit. In some cases,it was caused by mismatching group and password files after using the gui. I do not know how to check if they are matching. Of course I do not know for sure that is the problem in my case.
I'm having difficulties mounting an FTP address to my file system automatically during boot. After a bit of research I have discovered a package called curlftpfs, I've installed this package using aptitude and I had no errors.
I've successfully mounted an FTP address manually using curlftpfs at the command line and proved to myself that this is working as it should...However, I can't get this to mount automatically and I am receiving the following error during boot when I try and mount it through /etc/fstab...
Error connecting to ftp: Failed to connect to (IP address of server): Network is unreachable
My research indicates this package should be able to do this.
I'm still a learner when it comes to Linux, but could this be because TCP/IP services are not started at the time of mounting the filesystems? I've tried a continuous ping at this computer whilst it is booting and I don't get a response until after /etc/fstab has been processed. If this is the reason, can I start them these processes earlier?
Another option would be to have a script/command run when the computer boots, but prior to MySQL loading. If this is possible, it would also satisfy my problems.
I run a mediaserver on Archlinux, working perfectly (or almost). I have set up NFS v3 and that worked for me on these clients:
- Debian Lenny - Archlinux 64bit
Now I've upgraded my Lenny-box to squeeze and I see that 2 of my 3 shared folders (tdone and twatch) are mounted like they should and the third one (media) doesn't come up. A 'mount -a' as root gives this error: mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting (null) My relevant fstab-lines:
I would like to remove a specific domU (test01--pv--guest) from my machine. I am not sure how far/to what extent to remove files. Here are the files and properties it seems I should remove:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 2 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 3 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/dm-3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 4 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 5 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 6 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 7 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-7
Will they be deleted automatically or should/can I remove them? How do I check the need for the other dm-? files? As indicated below, it seems like some may be duplicates.
I also found this set in /etc/lvm/archive/:
-rw------- 1 root root 2909 Oct 17 00:41 Relaise-vg_00000-1453251236.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2929 Oct 24 22:08 Relaise-vg_00001-1530642081.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2924 Oct 25 19:33 Relaise-vg_00002-328450675.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2901 Oct 26 19:53 Relaise-vg_00003-1555350964.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2902 Oct 26 19:53 Relaise-vg_00004-1044927704.vg

Some of these seem like duplicates. This may be due to multiple attempts to build the volumes. Is there a way to determine if all of the are useful?
I have a clean install of Kubuntu 9.10 running on ext4 partitions (root and home). Kernel: 2.6.31-20-generic-pae.Freezing is becoming a way of life! I first thought it was my main browser (Seamonkey) but freezes have occurred even when it's not open. It usually occurs when computer is left unattended for a while.I'm not sure if it's the desktop crashing, no ides how to check logs especially as I have to reboot to gain access.
Mouse and keyboard work fine, I can use ALT+F4 to close windows and ALT+F2 to restart. But programs freeze, KMenu won't open, Taskbar is frozen, no HD activity.Where do I go from here?9.10 seems OK on my laptop but that was a upgrade from 9.04 and I don't usually leave it open unattended for any periods of time. I did a clean install of 9.10 after an upgrade was having the same problems.
I installed KDE 4.7 (minimal desktop install) on my desktop computer, running Ubuntu 11.04, and every time I go to log in with the KDE Plasm Workspace, my computer all of a sudden freezes up after about a minute of working fine. My mouse slows down incredibly and eventually comes unresponsive to keyboard, power button, and mouse click input. The mouse can move, but it's movement isn't fluid, and it can only move a little bit. Can anyone help me? I have also had problems with KDE 4.7 on other computers as well, but this desktop I am using is almost brand new. :/
If I shutdown from X the system hangs and I have to yank out the power cord. Same on logout.
ctrl+alt+f1 hangs for a few minutes and then starts a terminal; which does not respond to the keyboard.
There are no tty.conf files in /etc/init .
But inittab looks normal to me and includes tty (1-6)
Executing init 6 from a terminal in X will reboot the system
I was thinking this might be a dbus issue, but I am not sure. I also understand some recent issues exist with SysRq sequences. May be a video card issue,,,
Other than normal package upgrades the only changes were a recent change from a VGA to HDMI cable. I can't see why that would matter

I was wondering if a standard Debian 8 system with Gnome desktop does any kind of local dns caching, and if so, what the command is for clearing it. (Assuming I haven't purposely installed any DNS server software.)
I found multiple posts on the Web about unix DNS caching, but with widely different answers across distributions and across time.
I am running Debian on an ARM module (BananaPi).5 minutes ago, i started upgrading the system, but fortunately the power cable moved and the system closed.Now i open it up again and i'm trying to re-upgrade the system but i'm always getting this message
# apt-get upgrade E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I have installed jessie on a couple of machines. One is configured as the NFS filesystem exporter and NIS server. The other one, I am trying to configure as NFS and NIS client. NFS does not seem too much of a problem, I can mount the exported filesystem to a directory in the client and unmount it, but when I install NIS the system becomes very slow. Any command preceded by "sudo" takes a very long time (a few minutes) to complete. Then, upon rebooting the system, it reports many services failed to start (login, accounts, modem manager, avahi, network manager, exim). When if finally completes, I get a terminal login, instead the graphic login window.
Installed linux-image-2.6.32-bpo on my laptop today and after the reboot i got "no operating system found" . I'm now typing using a Puppy live cddrom .
I have a small LAN. I am in the process of installing a Debian Lenny/Squeeze system into the LAN. I want to send and receive system messages using rwalld and wall.I can send a system message from my Debian system to another box using rwall. I can send a local message within the Debian box using wall in a console.I cannot send a local message using wall Konsole in KDE 3.5.x. The KDE Write daemon fails to provide any pop-up window./usr/bin/wall is installed from the bsdutils package and is set to -rwxr-sr-x.
The ktalkd package is installed. The KDE control center shows a configuration option in Internet & Network settings called Local Network Chat.When not in X, mesg is set to y at the console. After starting KDE and I open Konsole, mesg is always set to n. I don't know how this setting toggles. Further, setting mesg to y in Konsole has no effect on getting wall to work.mesg is set to y when I run xterm in KDE. Then wall works within that terminal window. However, the KDE Write daemon does not see the message in xterm.When I send a message from another system to the Debian system using rwall, xterm receives the message but not Konsole or the KDE Write daemon.
The purpose of that topic is to identify if there is any way to totally clean a debian system and make it like a fresh installed system (of course i amn't refering to packages because aptitude is just perfect?
I'm running testing and over the last week or two my system is getting slow. Any disk access slows everything to a crawl. Even the cli can take several seconds to display characters as I type them.
I updated squeeze last night for the first time. It worked fine after 1st reboot last night. There was one reboot stalled at "hald" so I shut down and restarted. Worked ok 2nd time around
Today,upon login I got a string of taskbar notification (which I couldnt read as they all overlapped . I was able to see a kernel error message but couldnt report it (network was down) or save it (USB stick not recognised) Some programs worked, others didnt
I have the partedmagic rescue distro on USB stick so have those programs to use in order to fix the problem. Any idea how I can repair this? I tried fdisk for the hell of it. reported clean partition as predicted. I am using debian-testing-amd64-kde.
I have a Dell Latitude E6410 which I can boot from an Iomega external hard drive when I want to run Linux on it. It is a work issued Windows XP laptop and when I travel, I am more comfortable with Linux, so I created a dual boot option without touching their hardware. The external hard drive plugs in to the USB ports and the BIOS picks it up as the primary boot media, although the internal drive is still present. (That is the desired outcome).The problem is that the system periodically locks up solid and only a forced power off will get it to respond. The system seems to go into a kernel panic and fails to write anything before dying. The system completely locks up and stops responding to mouse and keyboard. It also seems to drop off the network. When I look at the logs after restarting, nothing at all shows up related to a kernel panic or anything else. To further complicate the diagnosis, on the reboots, sometimes the boot process locks up at "Starting GDM3", sometimes it doesn't, and wont for several attempts but eventually will boot to gnome. Some times it runs fine for a few hours, sometimes for only a few minutes. Can anyone recommend a way to diagnose this?I am trying to run Debian 6.0 32-bit with the defaults.
I noticed that when my server boots up, it's network interface on eth0 is always down and I always must run the 'ifup eth0' command in order to get it to work for some reason. I checked my configuration and it looks legit to me...
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

Anyone know why my system is booting with out bringing up my eth0 interface? It's very annoying.
I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15 last weekend. Since then I haven't had any problems with it except of course a few bug reports every now and then.Today, out of the blue, my system start freezing, giving me no choice but to hard reboot.As a particularity when the system freezes I can still move the cursor on the screen but everything else seizes to respond.It happens every time within 10 minutes after reboot, and even sooner if I launch the internet browser (behaves the same with both Firefox and Epiphany) or if I open a video file.
GNOME system monitor is constantly freezing and not responding when i click on first tab 'System' Do somebody knows some workarounds for this issue? It's the same on freshly installed system and also on updated GNOME 2.28 from stable repository.Sometimes on second or third atempt it is working, but i cannot accept such an level of unstability and bugs, discovered on daily basis of testing openSUSE 11.2. There are much more very basic issues in this release which are normal for beta stage, but not for almost 3 moths old system...
