Was I the only one having failure issues trying to install any Debian ISO Yesterday?I got big red screens about corrupt files all while trying to install Wheezy and Jessie.All with ISO versions downloaded and burned yesterday, net install. Disc and DVD.Mint and later Fedora installed perfectly well, but I wanted Debian.

I downloaded the first Lenny DVD for amd64, wrote it but on trying the install on my laptop (Gateway NV5389u) I cant get past the installing base system step: I get an error that some files are corrupt / cannot be read from the DVD. I am wondering whether there's a way I can download a minimal version or just the files needed for the base system installation then use the same DVD to install the packages, coz I have a terribly slow internet connection it took me a whole 2 days to download, and I surely cant stand any more of it.

I know grub2 does not work, giving me error: ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt. I did install grub-legacy and it worked, but I had to re-install squeeze due to other problems. So, now I want to replace lilo with grub legacy.
Why do I keep getting .gvfs (gnome virtual file system) file appearing as corrupt in /~/usr directory, I can get rid of it by unmounting, but it re-appears later on. It is causing problems as it interrupts my backups (which are automated) with an error message,ListError .gtk-bookmarks/.gvfs [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/jimt/.gvfs'

i get file system errors on boot up. found logs in /var/logs but cant access them. second best thing i can do is to re-install debian but no one seems to want to say how thats done. my disk wont run in wine (some error i dont remember) so i cant use my CD /flashdrive to re-install.
1) i need to read the log files and try to fix the install
2) if i cant fix i need to know how to wipe the OS and do a fresh install
I just got openSUSE 11.2 set up on my home server. The machine has two 2TB HDDs, the first (/dev/sda1) is partitioned thusly:

In process of installing gnome have hit an error wall from dpkg too many errors. Tried increasing the allowed errors in dpkg.cfg to 150 and still get the errors. The errors now come up on any apt-get install.
ADDED: sent the output to file and the errors start with python2.5-minimal(2,5,43).
I used to have Windows XP Professional on my computer, then I decided to install Ubuntu but it didn't work for me it gave me really weird errors, I thought I uninstalled it, and then I installed Debian on my computer, Debian ran smoothly but when I tried to start Windows the GRUB from ubuntu appeared and when I tried to start windows again it showed and that the hal.dll was missing, I reinstalled Windows but still the same error appeared, this also affected my Debian GRUB so I had to install it again, I don't know what I should do in this case. How can I delete ubuntu's GRUB for good? I've already formatted my windows partition but it keeps using Ubuntu's GRUB.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIm currently not an linux expert so I turn to this forum after several attempts to fix my issue with grub.
I had a dualboot single HD with both win7 and win8.1 when I decided to install debian wheezy from usb.
I deleted the win7 partition and installed debian there. The partition scheme is separate /home
After reboot I automatically get into the "Grub rescue mode" and now I´m stuck.
I tried the commands:
set prefix=(hd0,msdosX)/boot/grub/
Insmod normal
I have msdos1, msdos3, msdos5 and msdos6 but nothing is listing anything from the grub rescue mode.
I get the "UNKNOWN FILE SYSTEM" error and cant get past that.
I also tried booting into rescue mode from usb iso install but nothing happens when choosing to repair GRUB.
The listed devices in rescue mode are:
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3
/dev/sda5
/dev/sda6
debian uses sdb 1-2 and sdb1 is the only option to Reinstall GRUB on but it gives me "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sdb1 This is a fatal error" message
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
I am dual booting a lab of 30 machines in an elementary school. They already have XP installed and I don't want to mess with that. I certainly don't want to have to go to each one with a windows CD to 'repair' each one if this goes wrong.
So i tested on one (installed through PXE) and Ubuntu boots fine but I am getting:
'ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt' errors now. I can't move on until I sort this out.
I've installed Debian Lenny from USB with the small 8MB netboot image. I only chose "Standard system" in Tasksel during install, to get a clean, minimal install. I also chose for LVM and a separate partition for /home. I have one 1.5TB SATA drive in this machine.
Now everything seems to install just fine, but when I reboot I get the following error:
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
I get offered to enter a maintenance shell, or press CTRL-D to resume booting. When I do, the system boots fine and nothing seems wrong. But it is inconvenient, because I can't reboot the machine without physically going to it to press CTRL-D on the keyboard
I have googled for this error and it is mentioned on several forums, but they were all related to other things specific to their installs/machines.
(ps. the only slightly strange thing during install is that the Debian installer included my 1GB USB thumbdrive when it shows all the drives and the partitions before formatting. I removed the USB thumbdrive directly after install, but if I plug it in, I still get the error)
These are the errors during boot:

I've only installed Debian on my laptops, which never had any problems.
First off I must state that I am basically completely foreign to linux. I have 2 hard drives, one with windows 7 and storage partitions, and the other with my linux partition, linux swap, and unpartitioned space.I initially partitioned my drives with Disk Management in Windows 7. I created an NTFS partition on sda and installed Ubuntu from within Windows (a Wubi install I suppose). I originally intended to install by booting from the iso I burned onto a CD,but the installer was failing to load (fonts would change and it would error message). LiveCD was failing to load too in the same fashion. After hitting alt and tweaking the F6 settings, LiveCD successfully loaded (my very first taste of Ubuntu, albeit somewhat bland). I then decided to reinstall Ubuntu with proper linux partitions from within LiveCD. Now when I select Ubuntu in the Windows Boot Manager, a WBM screen says the file:
ubuntuwinbootwubildr.mbr is missing or corrupt. I do not know if this file is the problem or merely a symptom of it Below I have copied my Boot Summary (my apologies for the length and extra partitions):

I have just updated my Lenny 64 to a squeeze 64, everything is fine exept missing icons in the system menu, unfortunately I couldn't do any screenshot to show you the mess, did anyone experience the same problem and how was it solved.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
I' trying to install 10.10 Desktop from a CD onto a Dell E5410 notebook with Windows 7 installed.
The problem is that during the installation, the installer doesn't see the Windows partition, moreover, it doesn't see _any_ other partition.
I've tried with CentOS 5.5 as well and it returned some error related to GPT Partition Table corrupt which might have been corrupted by a software (or not).
Removing Windows 7 completely is not an option, there's a bunch of business applications which will not run on Linux even with Wine.
I'm not sure if the problem lies on the hardware, or the installer.
The BIOS provides advanced UEFI boot options and legacy boot, but this doesn't explain why no partition is discovered.
Tech specs: core i5, 4GB ram, 320 GB disk space. The installer is 32 bit, but I'm quite the architecture doesn't really matter.
If someone has more knowledge about this kind of issue, any answer is welcome.
I tried to help my friend install Ubuntu 10.04 side-by-side with Windows XP on his Acer Aspire One netbook.Unfortunately, the installation process came to a standstill and it quit due to "unexpected errors". The second time I started the installation, I realized that the option for installing side by side was gone and that I could not mount the C: partition on Ubuntu. The error message is listed below:====================BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE======================Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (299982847): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),
or a wrong device is tried to be mounted,

I've generated some srt subtitle files using gocr from pgm files used in DVD's. The ocr program gets confused between lower case L and upper case i and sees them as the same thing. This results in words with capital i's in them instead of lower case L.
What is the best way to automate the correction without a spell checker? I tried sed, but it's difficult to tell between the i's that you want and those that need changing. I figured that any word that consists solely of capital i's is ok, e.g. Roman Numerals, but any capital i not at the beginning of a word needs changing.
I found a rpm feature. If you rpm install * and one of the packages fails to install then none of the remaining packages will be installed.
Does anyone know how to use rpm to install packages with file globbing and have rpm attempt to install all of the packages?
I found that --force works, yet I do not want to install over already installed packages.
I doing this because I need to install all of the packages in a directory.
I use debian 8 and sometime when I install some packages I see these errors

So I recently purchased a Linux Virtual server and I've got everything configured pretty much except for PHP5 for Apache. I keep getting this error when trying apt-get install php5 and apt-get update:
[Code]...
I checked my sources.list file and it's setup correctly, and I even added ftp.us.debian.org but it's still not working.I'm pretty familiar with Linux and can't figure this one out. The server is connected to the internet as I can access my websites from the internet and SSH into the server, and the firewall is configured to allow SSH, HTTP, and FTP. I believe apt uses HTTP and FTP so it shouldn't be blocking anything.

When i run make i get a lot of errors and warnings. Can anybody point out what I'm doing wrong?
here's what I get code...
I'm using Debian Wheezy on amd64 using the binary nVidia drivers from the Debian repository. When I started up my computer yesterday, everything worked fine. Then I started installing a bunch of updates going back a week since I had it turned off for a week. This seems to have messed with my nVidia drivers. I could run GNOME at 1080p just fine, but I couldn't run prboom-plus or glxgears since they would give me errors about not being able to find a screen. Strangely enough, Wine could run both Proun and Bulletstorm without a problem.
I looked at synaptic and tried to install nvidia-glx to solve my driver problems, but it gave me an error about not having the correct version of libgl1-nvidia-glx. I try installing that and it wants to remove 140 programs first! Of course I refuse to let it do so. Then I figure it might have to do with some other program that these programs are dependent on. So I check the package dependencies and lo and behold, they all require libgl1-mesa-glx. I try removing that and synaptic also says that I have to remove those 140 programs with it. I give up and try playing the Half-Life 2 demo via Wine. When it hangs I restart my computer. However, while rebooting, I got this nice error message from X that said that apparently I don't have any nVidia drivers anymore.
I would prefer not to use sgfxi to do driver updates. One of the reasons I switched to the repository's drivers is because I was tired of having to reinstall my drivers every time there was a kernel update in testing.
Tried using vesa in xorg.conf, it also didn't work. Detailed X output said something about being able to find a screen but it wasn't usable.
My computer was getting slow. I know I had a problem with flash for sure. I was thinking it was because I haven't done a dist-upgrade in a while and there were a lot of updates.
So last night I backed up all my important data and did a dist-upgrade. Well now IceWM no longer shows and it just boots to command line. Not the first time I've done that.
Anyway, when I run 'apt-get -f install' I get hung up with errors on Samba.
Errors were encountered : /var/cache/XXX...samba_2%3a3.4.8~dfsg-2_i386.deb
I tried to remove samba but was unable to and 'dpkg -r --force-all samba' returns a processing error.
The error states that it can't locate File/Temp.pm in @INC.
I am sure someone with more knowledge could easily salvage this. Funny, I have been running sid for 5-7 years now and it has given me very few problems. And pretty much every problem has originated from my hand. Typing the wrong thing, accepting the wrong option, or accidentally deleting the wrong folder.
Am fairly new to linux and like opensuse distro so far and determine to get it to install on my system along side my default windows OS, iva tried 11.1 and manage to get it working, however my main goal was to set it up as a development environment i.e php,java, i had to remove it later on due to certian circumstance, lastweek ive decide to try gnomelivecd 11.2 but ran into a few errors during the final stages of installment while it was Automatically Creating Configuration, with the help of oldcpu i manage to ran installation again without a black screen but this time at the same instance where the error occurs first then direct me to the failsafe screen and am stuck there ever since. Am now downloading 11.3Mildstone6 which was recommended so what am asking now is help to remove those portions,grub and restore MBR. I have tried repairing it by booting from both a winodws7 DVD and external HD but failed, the error returned was an unexpected error occurs try again. However i can boot into gnome from the live CD and Check System > Boot Loader another error popup stating that
Because Of The Partitioning, The Boot Loader Cannot Be Installed Properly.
I want to install Debian and make dualboot (Windows 7 and Debian), but I not have any CD, USB, or Floppy. I has EasyBCD, where I added to my boot manager option to run .iso image. I boot from iso image, but installation need to CD.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using Linux ( Ubuntu from like 4 months ) the first time of my life and I just love Linux, but I just feel that I need to switch to Debian like its the best and the powerful distro. I've installed Debian pretty well, then when rebooting it. I cant find my Ubuntu distro on the grub loader, then when I enter to my Debian distro. I just have that black screen with the note (out of range), so I've went to Google but as u know I am still a rookie, so I could avoid this problem by using.
alt + ctrl + ( - ), so I went to connecting the internet maybe I could download that nvidia drivers so it may fix the problem, but the most shock is that the internet isn't working with me. I am pretty sure that I've entered the IPs correctly but I really don't know whats the main problem is, with Ubuntu its much easier and it really worked quickly but as I said I just feel something for Debian , something that attract me to it.
I am trying to instsal Gnome. While installing, 'gnome-getting-started-docs' fails. This is not a critical package, and I would like to see gnome installation / setup continue.
Is it possible with some command line options? I've tried 'apt-get -f install' 'apt-get -m install gnome' and various combinations thereof.
(Error I see is 'dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt).
I want to cause damage to a file system and then try to restore it. I want to use a VM first and when I've learned a little try it on an old HDD. Any ways to damage a filesystem non physically is welcome!
