Debian Configuration :: Plex Media Server Suddenly Stopped Working
Jan 27, 2016
My plex media server suddenly stopped working after years of no hassle use. This is the output of cat /proc/version = Linux version 3.2.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u2
My problem is similar to this forum thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=121945 where I can get it to start by running Code: Select all/usr/sbin/start_pms & but it's not my normal server configuration. I added a couple files to it and it seems to work except it doesn't start when I reboot. I have to run that command again.This is the init script I've been running for years...
Code: Select all----
#!/bin/sh

# Required-Start:Â Â $remote_fs $syslog $networking

My Debian skills are lacking to know how to proceed with troubleshooting what could have happened. Everything else seems fine, I just can't seem to get this application to run at startup or get back my old configuration...
I'm in somewhat of a sticky situation. ssh has just randomly stopped working on my server after a power failure. Everything else that doesn't rely on ssh is still working fine though. It can still receive mail and everything, just no ssh.Background on the server, running debian etch on a PPC machine.ssh is (supposed to be) running on port 2000. Even if I am physically logged into the machine I can't log in with ssh -p 2000 user@127.0.0.1. I can ssh to and from any other machine on my network (the server can even ssh into another machine). So it isn't my network causing issues.It seems like the port 2000 is completely closed, if nmap the server's IP address I get PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 110/tcp open pop3
ethernet suddenly stopped working and can't get it back, says something about device not active but it works well with the Debian live dvd, what could be the problem?I'm using mobile internet now and this seems to have happened after setting up the mobile connection but I dont think it as anything to do with the wired problem.
I have a machine running with slackware64 13.1 and vnc servers is installed on it. It worked for months until yesterday, when I couldnt connect to the machine remotely.
I have 2 vnc "users" on this machine, root and "user". Each have their own desktop. Root has desktop :1 and user had desktop :2. Simple enough.
VNC servers is started via /etc/rc.d/rc.local with the command:
Code:
Code:
It worked flawlessly. I use the very same configuration on my home server, never had a glitch.
From the "distant" machine, I get this error when I try to connect:
Code:
Unable to connect to VNC server
What has changed so it no longer works? I assume its not a network problem since the machines are all located in my home network and there is no firewall or router in between them.
I'm using a lenovo t530 laptop with debian testing. my suspend button combination (fn / f4) suddenly stopped working, from recent updates? How to get a terminal readout from what's happening when i push these buttons.
When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.
Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.
I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.
I would appear that I recently installed linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64. Since then I have noted that my HP media bar up top doesn't work. This means I can't enable/disable wireless. From an lspci output, it still sees the hardware, and it's loaded, however, not functioning. Should I be looking at rolling the kernel back, or work on getting it working via some other means? Any liveCD I've tried doesn't seem to be able to get it going either. So I'm under the assumption here it is the kernel version, and not a hardware problem.
Also tried this to no avail: sudo apt-get install rfkill rmmod iwlagn rfkill block all rrfkill unblock all modprobe iwlagn rfkill unblock all ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 rfkill list 2: phy2: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes
Recently my wireless stopped working on my Debian testing system. It just doesn't connect. The best I get (only after a reboot) is that it says it did connect, but failed to get IP address. But usually it just tries to connect, disconnects straight away, connects again etc. so it never manages to associate correctly.
I am sure it did work about a month ago, stopped working after recent upgrades from the repository.
Ubuntu and I'm using the latest stable version. Yesterday I had my sound working, but today my sound has stopped working.I've taken the following steps without success:System -> Administrator -> Hardware Devices (finds nothing)
A couple days ago I booted up my Ubuntu 10.10 machine as usual,but the wired LAN connection did not work; it doesn't seem to see any wired connection devices. I can still connect to a wireless network with no problem, and if I plug that same ethernetable into another machine it works fine. I've been happily using this setup for weeks; the LAN only stopped working a day or two ago. So I figure there's two possibilities:A recent update caused NetworkManager to stop working with wired LAN connections, but I'm e only persothed affected (unlikely)My motherboard's ethernet port died (this motherboard only a couple weeks old, so this also seems unlikely)I'm not good at diagnosing problems with networking, so who can tell me where to st
I have no idea what happened. When I restarted my laptop a message telling me that my hardware cannot support Unity came up. This is quite impossible, because I've been running Unity with no problems since 11.04 was released.
Compiz says that the interface is unity, and when I checked in login screen, it's not set to Ubuntu Classic or anything, just Ubuntu.
I have an asus EEE 1015N. Everything worked fine yesterday. I packed my computer, and went back home. After turning it back on, not only it didn't connect to the wifi network, but it did not even detect it. I know it's not broken or anything like that because when I boot into windows it works fine.I've been trying every solutionven in the "sudden wifi problems" threads in the forum (including checking the wifi power button, and trying to manually assign an access point to it), but to no avail.
My skype has suddenly stopped working. It starts then stops halfway though the startup. If i run it from the terminal it say Aborted as it stops. I've triedupdating the whole system, including enabling thee and backports options in software sources. I've tried re-installing skype, I've even re-installed the whole system.
I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04. I recently updated virtual box and wine. I also installed the expansion kit for the virtual box. Now Ubuntu doesn't read my sound card. I tried reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio but that did not help.
aplay -l shows no sound cards.
I have a Realtek ALC892 8-Channel HD Audio sound card.
I've started to set up a server at my house, where I eventually want to run it headless, and I can just VNC in from my other Desktop. I installed Ubuntu 10.10, setup remote desktop on the server, and from there was able to do any work remotely. That was nice. I turn the computer off at night, and the next day when I was going to work on it, I cannot VNC in anymore. One day passed, and now every time I try to use VNC it comes up with "Failed to connect to server" I also set a static IP address on the server too, so I know the address isn't changing every so often.
I was running 2.6.26 and I've recently upgraded to 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 along with other packages (mostly dependencies)... which possibly involved the network stack.
After this upgrade my home gateway stopped working and I'm clueless to where the problem may be.
I can see that the iptables are still there when I type:
Finally got around to dual-booting and all was going well. I was surprised to see that the webcam on my Vaio worked straight away. However, some time between one boot and another the webcam mysteriously stopped working..
Here is the last time it worked:
Jun 6 23:12:51 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:1837) Jun 6 23:12:51 dillinga kernel: input: UVC Camera (05ca:1837) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input12
Then the next boot:
Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:1837) Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround. Jun 6 23:41:48 dillinga kernel: uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26).
[code]....
So I decided to boot into windows and make sure all was OK - and it was. Then I came back into Fedora and suddenly the camera was working again! I thought I'd reboot just to see if anything changed and alas here I am again with no webcam and the same error.
I am a proud user of ubuntu and basically this is my desktop: I have got rid of the bottom gnome taskbar and replaced it with cairo-dock and the top toolbar is only showing one pixel with a delay scroll down so when i hover by it it doesnt keep popping down unless i leave the mouse there. anyway thats besides the point. i use cairo-dock and have done for over 4 months. then all of a sudden it stopped working. I don't have a clue why, perhaps you have encountered this problem and know of a solution. im using 9.04 jaunty and latest cairo-dock. when i type cairo-dock -c into terminal i get:
Version: Ubuntu 10.04 Relavant hardware: P5QL Pro built-in ethernet, cable modem with linksys wireless-G router (although problem is with ethernet connection, not wireless)
One minute my ethernet was working, and the next it stopped working. The only thing that I did between it working and not working was install electricsheep from Synaptic and then I shut down the computer. When I restarted a bit later, no ethernet connection shows up.
I checked the cables, made sure they are in tight.
My laptop connects using the same ethernet cable fine. So its not the cable or the router.
I reset the router and the computer at the same time. Still doesn't work.
I don't know where to even start with troubleshooting this sort of problem. Everything to the extent of my computer knowledge seems to be working fine.
I can't get any sound from either online audio or from a CD in drive. I've watched videos with sound with only occasional problems until today. I have been using MPlayer with internal audio 1 output - analog stereo output. When I start a vid, it will begin to D/L and play, but without sound. When I try to check the volume level everything pauses and then my system freezes. Sometimes it will release in a few seconds, but mostly it won't allow me to close Firefox and if I try to close the tab or window or Firefox, I have to reboot. Sometimes the vid will D/L without a problem, but no audio on playback. Oddly, when I bring up the system monitor, processors will show 1 or 2 cores stuck at 100% while the others fluctuate wildly. Download speed falls to almost nothing with occasional blips or nothing. I checked several sites and they all have the same problem. I have checked my physical connections, and bios settings.
There is an option for a RS780 Azalia controller 1 output Digital Stereo (HDMI) output, but I have not been able to make it work since the system was new. I don't know why.
This is the most recent SYSLOG file. The pulse audio errors have always been there, but since it didn't seem to affect playback, I didn't run it down.

I'm using Ubuntu and my sound was working fine and then suddenly it just stopped working.
It does however, have odd spells where its working (for like 2 minutes) but those spells are few and far between. So basically the sound is not working.
When it isn't working my speaker seem to be making these hissing/screeching noises.
I've tried looking up on Google on how to fix it, i.e. running terminals, etc. but still haven't come round to fixing it. Could someone explain to me how to fix the sound please?
And no, the speakers aren't on mute. I checked volume control and everything is full.

I have recently noticed that my keyboard shortcuts stopped working.Things like F2 to rename files/folders, I think its ALT+F1 to bring up applications menu, however it comes up with a dialog saying Power Information. I also can not use backspace in FF to go back a page and things like that, which I find very annoying because I prefer to navigate with the keyboard and that deal.Yes I have Compiz installed however I have for a few months now without this problem which appeared only within the last fw days. I have had k at the keyboard shortcuts in Compiz and set them to default but nothing changed
I'm running a gateway lapbook w/10.04 LTS and an etheros wirless card. Card has been working fine for almost a year - from cold boot, warm boot, and recovery from standy (shut lid, open, press power button). I was fiddling with setting a static IP for the wirelss card by modifying the interfaces text file. I made some changes, and restored the file to its original contents after some noodling around. Wireless still worked fine after that. Last night I took the laptop out of suspend as usual - lifted lid, pressed power button - but the wireless indicator remained grayed out and I haven't been able to reenable wireless connectivity since. ifconfig shows the wireless card is there, and cabling the e-net port directly to my hub works fine.
Earlier in natty this was working completely. It's only just started happening about a week ago. I don't know what changed, all I know is it suddenly stopped working. Basically the bar at the top is still there but there is black underneath. I can put windows there but I cannot see them (Just black). If I click on an indicator it looks on the bar as if it is being clicked but I cannot see the menu. I have attached a screenshot.
I use a small application called bendometer.jnlp. On my desktop running 10.04 it runs fine after opening with "OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start".
I have installed the same application on my brand new laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 and it was running perfectly until yesterday. Yesterday it hung during the startup and since I killed the hung process it has refused to start again. If I now run it in a terminal using the command
Code: javaws "/home/steve/Music/Bendo/bendometer.jnlp" I get the following errors Code: Unable to use Firefox's proxy settings. Using "DIRECT" as proxy type.

The problem started with that I got a lot of errors about missing header files included from SDL_mixer.h when I attempted to compile my projects. I looked in the directory of this file, and all header files were missing except SDL_mixer.h Resolved this by compiling and installing the base SDL library package. Programs that got recompiled and were able to play music before suddenly produced no music, but sound effects worked. However, old binaries that were compiled prior to the issue with the missing header files played music fine. What the heck is this? I get no errors, nor warnings; none at compilation, none on execution. The kernel pool (dmesg) is clean. There is also another strange issue, which perhaps has nothing to do with the first issue. x86_1$ ./fire XDM authorization key matches an existing client!Couldn't initialize SDL: Couldn't open X11 display.
Recently I had made some udev rules to communicate with a few devices using USB ports. For some odd reason, they suddenly stopped working. Here are my rules:
According to the documentation, all that is needed to write proper rules is one match operator (relevant info) and one assignment operator (name of port). I am running kernel 2.6.31-22, so udev rules are valid for use (they require at least 2.6.15). My only guess is to include something that identifies the serial port.
