Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Upgrade /root Size And Booting Options?

Oct 23, 2010

I did search for this but could not easily find the answer I wanted. When I use update manager in 10.04 to upgrade to 10.10 I get an error that there is not enough free disk space. It seems the upgrade uses 19.9M and I only have 16M free from the 100M on my /boot. I am not sure if it is related but I have dual boot. And when rebooting, I have a lot more than just boot into windows or boot into ubuntu. The list shows something live five different linux boot options (ten if you count the recovery modes). It seems that there are five different 2.6.32 - xx - generic options. Are these taking up space and how do I remove the unneeded ones?If I should repartition /boot how big should I make it so this does not occur the next time? Here is the output from df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 9.7G 3.2G 6.0G 35% /
none 1002M 312K 1002M 1% /dev

Debian :: Lenny Not Booting After Wrong Startup Script Added?

May 14, 2010

I added a script to start a service and Lenny wont boot anymore,its stuck at the point where the script is supposed to load. I used update-rd scriptname defaults I was trying to add NTLM Authorization Proxy Server, by adding a script

Code:

python /root/ntlmaps/main.py

This is the second time i am trying this, that last i did this i added a & at the end( this should send it to the background?) and it worked fine.I have mounted the root file system through live-cd, but iam not able to figure out how to undo this silly mistake of mine

Edit: I just managed to get the system back up. Looks like i was confusing /mnt/etc/init.d with /etc/init.d ...

I added the & to the end of the line, making it

Code:

python /root/ntlmaps/main.py &

I referred to [URL] while doing this exercise and apparently there should be some code for shutting down too, dont really know how to do that, on the command line i use kill 9 <PID>, but theres probably some other way for it here...

Ubuntu :: Too Many Boot Options/No Gui At Startup?

Jun 30, 2010

I had bought a new wifi card(rtl8185) and spent 2 days trying to make it work. I finally got it working but now I am experiencing some other problems.

First of all I get two many bootup options. Before I used to have 4 generic options(2 different kernels with each of them having their own recovery), memtest and then my win7. Now I am having those plus 4 server options and 4 preemp(no clue what this is) options. I am suspicious that this has to do with some command I ran: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-* I got some notify at that point about broken packages. I followed the instructions given and made the messages dissapear(I don't remember excactly what I did). Then when I saw that it shows all those bootup options I tryied sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-server and sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-wireless-preemp but that didn't solve anything.

My second problem is that in startup now even if I choose the generic option it doesn't load the gui but just gives me the command prompt so I have to run startx each time. I am kind of a noobie in linux but would like to learn so please give me some guidance. I thought of reinstalling a fresh copy of Ubuntu-desktop but it's just too hard work. So I would be grateful if you could tip me on how fixing the problem as it is. I run Ubuntu 10.04 x64

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Options - Can't Select Any Of The Menu Options Except For Boot From First Hard Drive

So I have the burned ubuntu CD, and I'm attempting to install it on a system that has one HDD with XP/Vista on it, and another that is completely formatted and unpartitioned. However, when I boot to the ubuntu CD, I can use the menus from the bottom, and select the language when initially prompted, but I can't select any of the menu options except for boot from first hard drive.

Fedora :: Setting Startup Options On Exit ?

Aug 13, 2010

I have a dual boot machine; sometimes I want to use windows for something Linux won't do.

It boots up Linux by default, so if I want Windows, I need to interrupt it at the beginning.

It would be more convenient if I could tell it, when I shut down, what to reboot into.

General :: Config Service Startup Options In Ubuntu?

Jan 23, 2011

I'm not used to using Ubuntu or Debian as a server. I'm more accustomed to Red Hat/Fedora ways and even Gentoo (yikes).

Under Red Hat installs, you can often configure most services that start from init using config files in /etc/sysconfig named by the service. Is there and equivalent thing under Ubuntu?

Specically I'm trying to control how the libvirtd and kvm processes are started as far as command line options go. I need to add the --listen option somewhere.

General :: Enable Startup Options On Bind On Fedora?

Jan 11, 2010

I've just configured a bind server for my home domain on Fedora 12. One thing that's buggering me is that Bind tries to do its lookups first with IPv6, which fails and then falls back to IPv4. This seems to me an unnecessary use of resources, so I'd like to turn this off. This is possible by using the option named -4, but there comes the part where. the Named start/stop script is defined in the /etc/rc.d/init.d dir, but how can I get Fedora to start this script with the named -4 option?

Ubuntu :: ScrotWM And Startup Scripts Make Options Disappear From GDM?

Feb 27, 2011

So lately I've been wanting to mess around with lightweight window managers. So installed both awesome and scrotwm from synaptic. Apparently these window managers need a startup script in order boot some applications on startup.

I've tried a few, but everytime I change the file *desktop, these desktop environments disappear from the options on GDM.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Startup Options - System Hanging On The Automatic Configuration

Aug 22, 2010

I had some issues with my system hanging on the automatic configuration of the install so I searched the web for the issue. After reading this thread: Hangs at end of SuSe 11 install I used acpi=off apm=off nolapci as the install options and it worked. My question is, do I need to add those options to the /grub/menu.lst or will the install do that?

Debian Installation :: Booting Debian With Ubuntu/XP Triple / Warning Bootdevice May Be Renamed?

Mar 6, 2010

I had (and still do) a working dual-boot XP/Karmic (GRUB version 1.97 beta4). I shrank the Ubuntu partition and set up partitions and installed Debian 5.04. When I got to the point of installing GRUB, I told Debian to install grub to MBR. On rebooting, Ubuntu was not an option on the NEW (looked different) grub menu.Maybe it was GRUB2? Could boot to either XP or Debian though.

Thought easiest thing was to reinstall Ubuntu since it seems to "see" other OS's more reliably. So I did, and installed GRUB again during its install to MBR. Then, all three were in the GRUB menu (version 1.97 beta4 again), but when tried booting to Debian, got an error (forget the wording), but think it was because the partitions got renumbered when installing Ubuntu.

SO, reinstalled Debian, reformatting the partitions but not deleting them first so the numbering stayed the same. When got to the part for installing GRUB, I told it to skip (I got some kind of error that said "Install failed. This is a fatal error. You will have to boot with an external device..."), hoping now the current GRUB would work.

Now, all three were on the GRUB menu, but when I tried to boot Debian, I got "no such device" and a list of numbers/letters after it. And "press any key to continue", which takes you back to the GRUB menu (version 1.97 beta4, by the way).

O.K., did sudo update-grub in ubuntu and rebooted. Now, Debian 5.04 shows as last entry in GRUB, and choosing it starts a boot, which hangs at "Begin: Waiting for root file system....".

Waiting long enough at the "Waiting for root file system..." hang results in a series of notifications:

WARNING bootdevice may be renamed. Try root=dev/hda3
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
-Check root= (did the sytem wait for the right device?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda3 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

In Gparted, the partition with Debian root is hdc3, although on the GRUB menu it's listed as /dev/sda3. However, in Gparted the Windows partition is hdc1 and on GRUB it's /dev/sda1, and it boots fine.....

Is my Debian install just borked? Did telling it to skip installing a bootloader (I got some kind of error that said "Install failed. This is a fatal error. You will have to boot with an external device..." ruin it?

If skipping the bootloader install did ruin it, how do you install Debian without borking your current GRUB? That's what happened the first time.

Debian :: Wireless Networks Not Displayed?

Feb 21, 2010

I have a fresh install of Debian 5.04 Stable. It detects my wireless card with a RT61 chipset and gives me the option to select a wireless network through the network-manager icon in the upper panel, yet no wireless networks are displayed. So, how do I fix this and get the ability to connect to my network? I have tried connecting manually but it refuses to connect. No errors, it just does nothing and reverts to roaming mode.

I believe the exact model of my card is an Edimax EW 7128G.

Debian Installation :: 99 99 99 When Booting Up Computer?

Jul 8, 2010

having major trouble installing Debian.erased the data on one of the partitons that used to hold Vector Linux and tried to install Debian on but it failed for some reason.Since I'm dead tired (well, was) I thought I would call it a night and just wait until tomorrow to finish the installation.So, I rebooted my computer and all it would do is this:

99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99

It would just do two or three rows of 99's and then it would hang. Does anyone know what is happening? Right now I have Windows on this computer and I can't even boot into that. The data for Windows is safe but I just can't boot into Windows for some reason.n erasing sda6, did I accidentally erase LILO too (Vector was the first option on LILO)?If someone has posted this problem in the past
