Debian Configuration :: Make Modprobe Look Into The Right Directory?
Jun 28, 2011
I've got a problem when I try to use to load modules like when I try : modprobe tun It says : FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-4-pve/modules.dep: No such file or directory I've checked in my filesystem, the directory 2.6.32-4-pve doesn't exist, instead I have 2.6.39.2.110628 So how could I make modprobe look into the right directory ?
I am planning to build a server in future. That will be a computer with GNU. It will be a router and file server. It will get the VPN-Internet and share it with all the PCs connected to LAN. There will be Samba for file sharing. And I'm thinking that if I just share some directory on that server with Samba, it will be possible to get access to that dir from VPN. So it's not very safe to do that. Is it possible to prevent access to Samba dir from VPN connection?
I have some errors when run the mount -all command: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Failed to open /proc/filesystems: No such file or directory
These kernel sources are usually the sources from debian, with a couple of more patches that I add. It appears that for nvidia-driver package versions higher than 352.79-1, the kernel headers/sources need to be prepared with 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts'. It's that simple. I concluded this after the nvidia dkms build failed on my custom kernel, but then succeeded after I pointed it to the full sources, but only after running 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts' on them. The problem is that this make-kpkg scheme doesn't appear to do this, or if it does, it doesn't properly include in the headers everything that it should.
i'm using Centos 5.3 (2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 x86_64 kernel) and i got a problem with installing apf/configuring iptables. It seems that my kernel doesn't support Loadeble Kernel Modules. I'm receiving following message when catting /proc/modules: Quote: cat: /proc/modules: No such file or directory /sbin/modprobe -l FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64/modules.dep: No such file or directory
I know that boot partition is possible to create within debian distribution that has grub 2.0, as I have done before with ubuntu. I have been trying many different options with my preseed file but it keeps taking the boot partition out of LVM and creating and extended partition too and then creates the LVM primary partition.
### Partitioning. # you can specify a disk to partition. The device name can be given in either # devfs or traditional non-devfs format. For example, to use the first disk
I had directory inside www that is gone. I am not sure if I removed it my mistake somehow or there is something weird going on. How would I track down what happened to this directory?
since the recent upgrade to Maverik every time I boot this error message appear on the top of the screen: "modprobe: Fatal: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory" fter that plymouth starts without any graphics and the first visible object is the login interface (GDM)
For some reason from a fresh installation on Debian (Squeeze), Apt is telling me I no longer need the 'make' package and I can remove it. I find this extremely odd & random given I just built this O.S. Why would Debian want to remove such a package and since this is a fresh installation, is there something I did wrong?
Setup a DNS/DHCP/Directory server on Debian? I would like to configure the things in Debian so that can join Linux and Windows(if possible as m not sure yet) clients to the directory server. Any links to setup both Forward and Reverse lookup zone in the environment.
i have created a wordpress user with a symbolic link from his home (/home/wordpress) to /usr/share/wordpress but when wordpress ftps to wordpress home dir it does not follow the sym-link. is there a way to set default ftp dir for the wordpress user to /usr/share/wordpress rather than /home/wordpress?
I am using Debian Lenny as my server to host multiple databases.
Whenever, I used to add a new database, I used to add an IP address like eth0:test in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
Today when I tried to do the same, I got an error when I tried to start the interface by typing "#ifup eth0:test". I also tried to do in this way "#ifconfig eth0:test up" but both of then yielded the same error saying "/sbin/ifconfig: no such file or directory".
The path is valid and the files are also present there. There are ifup, ifdown, if and ifconfig files in the /sbin directory. I also checked the permissions which is root:root. But still I cannot find the problem.
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 recently bought a new hard disk for my /home tree. I don't have encrypted home directories currently, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to encrypt my home directory so that it is automatically decrypted when I'm logging in (console/kdm). Basically I would like to manually do same thing as Debian installer would have done.
I configure my system in a long time and now I have a suitable system! But I install all directories in one partition and now I like install again, but I need make an image of my configuration for install from it and after install I don't spend time for again configuration.
It seems that my network manager may be running in root mode...
For instance in network connections, edit and delete are greyed out. if i click add, i am unable to enter any details. if i run nm-connection-editor as root i am able to make changes.
How can i set it that the normal user can make changes? [managed is set to true in the conf file]
I have a wireless router in my room and when people use their WiFi devices in the living room the signal is very weak and really slow, i have a Debian box in the living room that i would like to use as a wireless repeater. i want it to receive the wireless signal from my router and transmit an AP that resembles the one being transmitted by the router is this possible, and how can it be done
I work in a compagny and i encounter a problem with the samba trash.When i delete a file from our network directory, the file don't move to the samba trash directory. But, the server create the same samba tree like the orginal file. It's more simple with a example.This is the file i delete to my samba tree S:departementgestion_informatiqueinformatiquecommut est.txt.This is the samba tree that the server create at the moment when i delete my file : @IPcorbeilledepartementgestion_informatiqueinformatiquecommun
The problem is here : We want the file test.txt into this trash tree and it isn't.This is the Samba trash configuration :
I've been working on building an LTSP server for diskless booting. I have a tftp server that's booting the system. I followed the steps on [URL] .... to build the LTSP server.
I had to make one change from the guide. I have a cisco router that's acting as the DHCP, I'm not very familiar with Cisco IOS so instead of playing with that, I decided to modify the default file on the PXE.
I commented the kernel append line and added the following instead
I'm mounting the nfs as a rw file system for now. I'm planning to make it read only once I have it working the way I want. In addition to this, I also chroot into the LTSP root and installed lightdm + mate. As I understood what I read, this would boot the environment on the diskless system. All of this seem to work correctly.
What I need to do next is to find a way to setup the LTSP clients to log in by authenticating on the active directory. I understand that the login account used by the LTSP client has to exist on the LTSP server.
I have successfully added the LTSP server as a worksation within the windows domain and I can log into domain accounts from the LTSP server but domain credentials do not work when using an LTSP client, I can only log in if I use an account that exists on the LTSP server. I wanted to know if there is a way to accomplish AD authentication.
Do I have to build an LDAP server on the LTSP server, sync accounts with the Active Directory to be able to log in with AD credentials?
I recently reinstalled Lenny and I am attempting to save my /home directory. I used the graphical install and when it came to the part about partitioning, I created a new /home partition "hdb1" and told the installer to ignore my old /home partition "/dev/hda9".Following the completion of the install, I logged in and changed my /etc/fstab so that /home --> my old /home partition "/dev/hda9". I then mounted the old partition to /home and rebooted the system. Now, when I go to my /home directory >> properties, I can see that the files I had are on the drive (2GB are used) --- but --- I cannot actually see the files??
2 of us have been googling all morning trying to find out how we can restrict ftp logins to their own home directories only but nothing we've found so far has worked. We've tweaked sshd_config so that they default to their home directory but they are able to navigate up/across/down to everything. This is a "straight-out-of-the-box" debian 5.0.5 Netinst. Just a basic system with Apache/MySql/PHP/SSH and no desktop.
I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver checking cross compile... checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 checking for directory with kernel headers... failed make[2]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.
I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.
I need to add another user besides the one set up during the installation procedure but I also need to limit all users to use only their own /home/user directory.
I followed these steps to add a client to my active directory domain, everything is working as expected except that when a username has whitespace it creates a directory in /home with whitespace and gconf fail to access his config dir in the user's home. KDE also fails to start but I don't know what's failing yet. I found that the easiest way to fix these issues is to replace whitespaces by underline in homepaths so I changed the pam_mkhomedir source to replace the whitespaces and save it using the usermod command. It should work but is not... the reason is that I can't change the user data using the usermod because domain users are not in /etc/passwd.
i'm trying to install driver for some PCI device but i have problems with it - when i run it it gives me an error
Code: Select allmake: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build' make: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build'
i've tried to find solution in internets but have no success usually they say that problem is that ppl forget to download kernel-headers and kernel-sources or unpack kernel-sources or make symlink usr/src/linux but i've done it all and the result is the same.i think the root of problem is that `/lib/modules/ 2.6.32-5-686/build' folder is empty but there have to be this RULE, so what i have to do to have it there? my system is Debian 6.0.10 Squeeze, Kernel 2.6.32-5-686.
I have a Dell Mini 9 with a Broadcom wireless adapter. I've had it working for months on Debian Sid, but recently I updated the entire OS to get KDE 4.4 (I also went from a 2.6.30 to a 2.6.32 kernel). Something in that upgrade caused wireless to cease to work properly. The problem is similar to the one described in this thread, but no resolution is mentioned there: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50892 I've gone through all the steps to install the STA drivers/wl module for it, and it basically appears to be working. Using wicd, I can see all the wireless networks in the area.
The problem occurs when trying to connect. When I try to connect to my WPA wireless network, it eventually fails claiming a bad password. When I turned the wireless network into an unsecured network, it eventually fails claiming it's unable to get an IP. I've also tried at the command line with wpa_supplicant and it initially appears to work but in fact it hasn't. I've also got Kubuntu 10.04 installed on this machine, and it can connect without issue (using the proprietary driver that Ubuntu's hardware driver manager allows one to use).Does anyone know what has caused this? I even tried the earlier kernel, so that's not it.
I use openvpn to connect otherwise isolated machines, and use samba to share filesystems across the vpn, which works just fine.But I recently discovered that copying files using rsync -e ssh is so much faster than copying from a mounted filesystem - like about 5 times faster.I've got comp-lzo enabled in both server and the client, at least I think I have, the directive is there in both the server.conf and the client.conf files, but how do I check that it's active?Does anyone know if I can make openvpn behave more like rsync, because copying is easier than rsyncing?
Trying to build a driver for a TV tuner card. When I enter 'make menuconfig', I get this error:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64' /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/source/scripts/Makefile.build:44: /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/source/scripts/basic/Makefile: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/source/scripts/basic/Makefile'. Stop. make[2]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
Suspect I need another package in addition to linux-headers. Running Squeeze, amd64, KDE.
