I believe this has something to do with an mdadm update which was included in the release. When I configured the array, I didn't partition the disk devices, so maybe that has something to do with it. I am thinking of rebuilding the array and partitioning prior to build, but a quick fix would be referable.
And also something appears to have happened to the raid device since the update.
Prior to update, the array was /dev/md0 - now it is /dev/md/0 which is a symbolic link back to /dev/md0.
mdadm --detail --scan now reports /dev/md/0 where previously it reported /dev/md0
I created a new RAID1 array on a fresh system and immediately after the create, these messages appear at 5 minute intervals.
I have installed debian 8.8.1 stable and run updates. When I run the cat release command it shows stretch/sid. I made no changes to the apt/sources list.
What do i have to do so it only updates with the stable release I am planning to use it as a server and only want stable fixes.
I am having this problem on my old 64-bit Debian box (stable's Jessie) box, but nothing seems to fix it from what I saw online like in [URL] ... and other forums. Maybe I missed something?
I have just installed the newest Debian Stable 7.8 release on my new notebook. Before installation I had to free some disk space from the preinstalled Windows7 with ntfsresize and fdisk. In addition to the existing three primary partitions I created an extended one with three logical partitions for /(root) /home and swap, see the output of 'fdisk -lu'
For some reason I put a bootable flag on sda7, and the only small concern during installation was that some BIOS systems might not work with boot-flag no logical drives. Now, every time I boot I get this "Invalid partition table!' message which I must 'enter" away before I get to the GRUB menu.
Since update-manager was removed from Debian Jessie, I am looking for something similar or a way to install update-manager for 8.2. I would like a GUI.
I have tried gnome-packagekit, but some of the commands don't appear to work or it seems incomplete and I don't know of a way to test to make sure that it is working.
Other sites recommended to use smartpm. However, I cannot seem to find the plugin xfce4-smartpm-plugin in [Xfce Goodies] that would work as a notifier.
Unattended-upgrades does not meet my specifications, because to my knowledge there is no GUI configuration for this.
Though Debian Jessie is a great distro, I am finding it difficult to recommend to some newer users because it does lack a GUI updater/notifier at this time.
I was installing opensuse 11.2 in parallel with windows xp.but during installation suddenly power has gone and after that opensuse is giving me the error message corrupt partition.i am also not able to login in xp. so I decide to reinstall windows, I got the error saying "invalid partition table" after the first restart of windows xp installation.
I tried to use windows system recovery console and committing fixmbr and fixboot commands, but didn't work. i have 2 window partition(1 for windows and 1 for data).i do,nt want to format 2,nd partition.
How can I installed windows?My plan was first to install windows xp, then opensuse again.
My friend gave me a flash drive with some important files on it that one day didn't work with his windows box. Upon plugging in the thumb drive, Windows gives a "you must format this disk before it can be used" message. I tried running a data recovery program (Easeus) on it but didn't have great results- only recovered some .wav files, a few .avi files and a .exe- none of which were very important, so I figure'd I'd try to mount it in Linux and possibly see the rest of the filesystem. The thumbdrive is a 2GB Lexar JD Firefly I plugged in the thumb drive and it is picked up by the system, but I can't access it. Here is the output of lsusb
I installed Jessie with the RC1. URL...A2) The network install images for testing (jessie) can be found at URL...However, unless you want to test the installer for testing the better choice is to use the stable installer to install a minimal stable system and then upgrade to testing by changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
After doing Debian's apt-get dist-upgrade from Wheezy/oldstable to Jessie/stable, I decided to try Kernel v4.2.0 instead of v3.16.0-4-amd64 to be even more updated. However, X doesn't work. /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed:
Code: Select allX.Org X Server 1.16.4 Release Date: 2014-12-20 [ 453.305] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 453.305] Build Operating System: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian
I am just trying to setup my debian 8.2 stable in my Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2600 @ 1.60GHz. The installation goes smooth without any issues. For this system , we are planning to use DUAL display with HDMI & LVDS.
We see that that only HDMI is working and LVDS screen is blank. However, we notice that XRANDR is is showing LVDS as connected
I have tried to automate the configuration of a usb drive with not much success.
The problem that I have is that I have a large amount of usb drives that have a partition table of type "loop" and I need to change them to "msdos". The size of the drives vary and I need to use FAT32 or FAT16 file system.
I've tried various partitioning commands and gui applications but cant find one that I can give a one line command to to set the partition table, maximum partition size and file system.
Is there a difference between using GPT partition table when formating hard drives and MS-DOS partition table? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using either?
Just delete a linux partition and now when i boot a message appears and says error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >
I have search on the net for this problem and i have understand it a little. But my situation is a bit different and because i don't want to format my hard disc i wanna try to fix it. So before a couple months i download ubuntu 9.10 and i installed it a month later. But my computer used to crash all the time and i couldnt use it. So i download the latest ubuntu 10.4 and install it while having windows xp and the old ubuntu 9.10(so i had windows xp, ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu 10.4 partitions). Now i tried to delete the partition of ubuntu 9.10 from disc utility. so i have the message i wrote above when i boot. I dont wanna delete my windows xp and ubuntu 10.4. what should i do to stop this message from appearing.
kernel with which most version number may be compiled in Debian 5 stable without updating to testing? 2.6.32.8 can't compile, if not turn off virtualization, since Documentation/least/least.c
contains #include <sys/eventfd.h>
which is present in libc6-dev from testing, but is absent in stable.To drivers compiling kernel used own linux/eventfd.h.
I am trying to keep a stable system (after a date with the unstable version which broke everything ) but a package (namely deluge) is horribly out-of-date. It is better in the unstable packages.I read the official documentation with the preferences file, pinning and the rest of the apt zoo but after a few tests I am still there with my old deluge in my stable environment.(in reality I managed to upgrade deluge by swapping the sources.list file with one with only the unstable repositories -- but this is not a particularly clever approach)I would be very grateful if someone could give me the right content for the preferences file which would allow to keep the system at stable level, except for the deluge package which should be updated to the newest, bleeding edge version.
can't use catalyst driver, virtualbox refuse to run, selinux problems,I want to know if its possible to install only this new kernel 2.6.38 without "contaminating" the rest of my installation with unstable packages?
Well it didn't go smoothly for me. After downloading over 1,6Gb (!) of that new Debian version and restarting I was 'greeted' by a dreaded CLI instead of gnome. To make matters worse I got "command aptitude not found". 'apt-get' still worked. Anyway, if you're gonna update check dependencies first. It seems I lost gnome due to gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs. So first uninstall that package if you got it.
It seems like ifconfig used to show which DNS servers were being addressed, but something has changed, I need to know whether I am referencing what I think I am... I have search this forum, googled, and come up empty... did the metrics go away with 8.2? Was I dreaming at 7.5?
I installed Debian Jessie on my Hummingbaord. I use it with apache, owncloud and minidlna but after some days i rebooted the system and then i can't log in with SSH anymore.
The message I get:
Access denied Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Password:
And this again and again, although I enter the right password. If I login directly on the Hummingboard all works normally...
I had 40 gb of unused space at the beginning of my drive, then a 15gb primary ext3 partition for /, then a 100GB ext4 primary partition for /home, then a 4 gb extended partition that contains two 2 gb swap partitions.
I installed FreeBSD on the empty space at the beginning of the drive. The slice I created did not start on the first block. There were a few MB of free space before and after it.
After the installation finished (with no errors), grub would hang on the "Grub loading/Welcome to Grub screen". I booted a squeeze CD in rescue mode and reinstalled grub to /dev/sda. After rebooting, Grub still hangs at the same place.
I booted a live CD and checked the output of fdisk. For each of my partitions, it says "Partition does not end on cylinder boundary". I am hoping that whatever happened to my disk is not recoverable. Fortunately, I backed up some essential files beforehand, but I still don't really want to lose my old squeeze system.
had a bad experience when Fedora 15 overwrote the ext4 partition of a data disk to MVL during the installation process.I cloned the HD and now I am working on it. However, my first attempt resulted in 900.00 number-renamed files into the lost+found folder. And that's not what I want: with this number of files I need to recover the directory structure and the files real names.I know this is a hard issue for being discussed in the forum and that I shall look for some expert help, but, I wished to useis bad moment as an opportunity of learning.
I have a relative fresh install of jessie in which I face a high cpu usage of java (top shows about 165% CPU and 12% MEM). The problem occurs right after booting the computer. These values stay constantly high for days if I leave the box running. This happens even if the computer is just sitting there without doing anything.
I have to kill java to go back to normal. So, when I do a Code: Select allkillall -KILL java the problem goes away. After that it doesn't reappear and I can use all apps installed without a problem.
Currently I am based on openjdk Code: Select allupdate-alternatives --display java java - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java - priority 1071 slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java'.
But I have also tried the SUN version with the same result.
Where to look to find more information on what exactly java app is using so much resources and how I can solve it? I guess I could just put somewhere in rc.d a kill java command and forget about it but I would really like to find out whats going on...
When i'm tried google there is lots of bootlogd related document there. [URL] .... Yes there is documentation. But I'm only need "enable boot logging","reading boot log". Bootlogd not worked on jessie/stretch.
