My computer has been installed a system of Windows XP,and I want to experience the outstanding of this Linux system.So I decide to install two system on my computer,but bad luck ,I've found that I can't find the netcard in the new installed system ,and it is the in the primary system.
View 2 RepliesI've got a server with bit of chaos on it. There is similar data on different partitions which I like to mount remotely with samba. So I setup aufs on the server and then share the merged aufs directory (as read only). All seemed fine, and I was able to mount it nicely. However, when I enter the directory in question does the kernel on the mounting puter start misbehaving.
First it freezes for about a minute. Then I get a bunch of oops-looking messages in dmesg and the system eventually locks up totally. This is what it looks like:

I want to turn to Ubuntu, but when I install it using Ubuntu CD, It is found that Ubuntu can not identify my netcard (Intel Pro 10/100), Can not identify by sound card, Even it can not identify my video card. Anyone has a simple introduction on how to install these hardware drivers?

With the new release I only get a background slideshow on one monitor. I can get an image on the first monitor by right clicking and choosing Next Wallpaper image, but it never changes. When I select Desktop Activity Settings both monitors go entirely blank, except for the mouse cursor. The Display Multiple Monitors screen has ticks in all the multiple monitor checkboxes and Identify All Displays correctly identifies both monitors.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's the situation: I have the newest release of Ubuntu running in dual mode with a constantly failing Windows XP. I installed with GRUB and had no issues, but wanted to have access to the Windows files from Ubuntu (it did a logical partition and I couldn't locate any of the Windows files), allocate more space to Ubuntu and make the dual mode more efficient. Last night, I read up on how to do these things, went to GParted to briefly look at how the partitioning process would work. I believed that I took no action, shut down, and now the computer won't boot. It brings up the HP load screen with the Boot Device Menu and ROM Based Setup but immediately goes to a black screen with a flashing white bar. I tried restoring my defaults in the BIOS and I tested the RAM and HDD, each failing to resolve my issue. I'm assuming that whatever I've done is keeping the computer from knowing where to boot from.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI got a notification that there was an upgrade available today in ubuntu 9.10 64, after the update i restarted my system and while booting i encountered this error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (8,17)
does this have something to do with the OS looking at the wrong hd?
theres no command prompt to actually do anything and i tried booting in safe mode and had the same problem. Let me know what i can do!
Excited at seeing the new features in 10.04, I clicked the Upgrade button tonight. I am now really regretting it! Problems:
1. My screen resolution should be 1280x1024 but the System>Preferences>Monitors control panel only shows 1024x768.
I think I have onboard Realtek graphics. Do I need to install proprietary drivers? Everything worked fine out of the box with 9.10!
2. The sound isn't working. Again I think I have onboard Realtek sound, and again it used to work fine without any intervention from me...
3. Although on first startup wireless networking was working fine, I restarted to see if that would solve the display issue, and wireless networking stopped working too!
I have an RaLink wireless card.
When I used Grub to choose 2.6.31.20, I got some error messages at startup (e.g. mount couldn't mount /dev), but then it did eventually start up and the sound and wireless networking are working again. But the resolution is still not fixed. It is now offering 1152x864, which it didn't previously, but no 1280x1024 (my screen's native resolution).
I've just installed Debian 7 Netinst on an old laptop. It's using one of those PCMCIA(?) wireless NIC card things. It recognised it during the install, asked me for some driver files which it found on my mobile phone when I connected it to the laptop's USB Went through the whole install process without any problems and the only changes to default I made was to deselect "Debian Desktop..." and selected "SSH Server". Rebooted, get a command prompt and login OK .... but it's not picked up the network thingy. Twice I've done this. Why is it losing the networking...
There is a glitch in my install. It doesn't find the NIC first time so I click "Back" and it takes me to the installer menu. There I choose "Detect Network Hardware" and OK. It finds the card, installs the drivers from my phone and prompts me for the WAP's SSID. I select "Back" again, choose "Detect Network Hardware" again and it goes OK and finds 3 WAPs in range. All goes well after that. I don't see how that can mess it up though I'm going to do it all again but this time select the "Debian Desktop" option and let you know if that changes things.
I'm having to be careful with the partitioner ... If I allowed it to install to the "Largest contiguous..." it would end up on my mobile phone as the laptop has a 10Gb drive and the phone 32Gb .
This is awesome. I configured my Konsole and other KDE settings, and the very next login everything is reverted.

After completing the upgrade and re-booting the system informed me that "gnome.desktop is not installed" and throws me into XFCE.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed 11.3 last week and eventually got nvidia drivers working. I was quite happy how most things were progressing, then the temptation to upgrade to 11.4 got too much I upgraded today (online, not dvd) and everything went well. On rebooting the desktop came up as normal and all was good. I installed nvidia and got that working ok. I then installed Gnome-Shell and couldn't figure out how to get it working. I've been using Fedora recently and the Gnome-Shell option is available at Login. I then discovered the gnome-shell --replace terminal command and I tried it. It seemed to load ok, but as I had used the terminal, when I closed the terminal it seems like compiz crashed. I lost all windows borders and nothing was usable. I REISUB'd and started again. On reboot I got a CLI login prompt. After logging in I tried startx, to no avail. I then tried gdm start and got to the desktop again (not gnome-shell). I Alt+F2'd and ran gnome-shell --replace again and all was good - except no network I rebooted again, and got the CLI again. Went through it all again and tried to configure network (wireless) no good. I then connected an ethernet cable and tried again. That worked, but I'm not sure why - I didn't think anything was downloaded. Anyway wireless now works ok - even on reboot. However I'm still getting dumped to the CLI login on restarts.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA while back, I put a site up under a LAMP setup, and followed a guide from ubuntuforums that I googled to set up SSL encryption for the site.
That site works great, but since then, I've added some other sites to the same LAMP server. They load fine as well, but if I type in https:// before going to the latter sites, the browser attempts to redirect to the first, and warns that it is a fraudulent certificate, and that I'm at risk by going to the site.
Obviously, it isn't an attack site, the certificate is just set up for only one domain. How do I prevent my non-SSL sites from redirecting to the SSL-encrypted site?
Today, just hurry the boot process up a few seconds, I manually selected the kernel to boot to. Everything went well and got to the point where I heard the bootup sound and then the screen went blank and my monitor on-switch went orange - indicating nothing to display.
If I pressed the delete key I could hear the sound made when there's nothing more to delete. I switched to one of the virtual terminals and the monitor switch went green but no display.
I rebooted and let the bootup process as normal and everything was OK. I repeated the initial bootup process, with the manual selection, and it went blank again. The odd thing is, I'm sure I've recently done this before and all was fine.
Just installed CentOS 5.5 in text mode because the GUI mode keeps hanging midway installation. The text mode installation worked sucessfully but when the installation finished and rebooted the system i got the localhost login thing which i typed root and provided my password,logged in successfully but then the cursor was just blinking waiting for the next command, i then typed startx but immidiatelythe screen goes blank and hangs. I guess the problem has to do with vga but i'm newbie and don't knw what next to do.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to implement a solver for a system of differential equations in Fortran. The solver contains a number of functions which are supposed take real values, 1D arrays of real values or both as arguments and return arrays of real numbers, all of which cause the program to segfault. Example:
Code:
function y_exakt(t)
implicit none
real::t, pi
[code]....
(the last number in the array seems to change randomly). Then the program crashes either when f(t,y) is called or when dy is returned (after removing the call to f). What could cause these (memory?) problems and/or what could I do to identify the problem? Increasing the maximum stack size with ulimit or compiling the program with -fno-automatic has had no effect. I'm using gfortran (gcc 4.4.3) on a 64-bit Ubuntu Lucid machine. The complete program can be found at [URL].
I am working on an issue in mishandling of mutex. A process was holding onto to a valid mutex for running, within this routine, it created a local mutex variable, copied the content of the valid mutex into this local mutex variable, freed the valid mutex, then used the address of the local mutex variable as the parameter to functions pthread_mutex_unlock() and pthread_mutex_destroy(). It was observed that CPU load 100% with scheduler staying in a loop. The program was halted. I try to seek an explanation to the relation between the CPU load and mutex mishandling in this scenario. I also hope some one will share the experience how this bug might manifest into problems on other platforms.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. It was a fresh install of kubuntu, although I did leave a windows partition on there elsewhere. Grub messed up but I fixed that with a small text edit. Anyway, when I click on a file, i.e. Open Office writer or Calc, the computer thinks about it for like 60 seconds and then finally Open Office (version 3.2.0)finishes opening the file. It also does this while saving some files. It did not do this this version 9.10 which really amazes me. I have deleted OOo and reinstalled it several times and nothing helps. All other file handling seems normal, and it is a fast newer computer with a lot of memory.

Then I inserted the CD and restarted the computer.

I restarted the computer and then nothing happened. I've restarted it several times, but still nothing happens. I've inserted the Windows recovery CD, but it doesn't work
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently freshly installed Debian 8 (stable) XFCE.Everything was working fine. I installed Skype (using the instructions in the Debian wiki) and that worked no problem. I then installed libavcodec56-extra (just to have the extra codecs ready in case needed), and Synaptic also installed the i386 version also.After that, no sound (anywhere at all).I reinstalled libavcodec-56 (and the i386 version) to try to rectify the problem, but the sound has not returned.
As per a google seacrh, i installed pulse audio. This showed me that the the 'levels' were moving in line with the sounds which should have been playing, but no amount of tweaking managed to get the sound to come out. I have Mint installed on the same machine and the sound works fine here so i know for sure it is not a hardware issue.
I'm running 32bit Lenny on an older Dell Dimension 2400 running the 2.6.26 Kernel. This box was mainly used to play movies for my son over the network (most are encoded by me using xvid and lame). One of my kids wanted to use the computer to watch videos on ...... I attempted to install the flashplugin-nonfree from the backports and it kept timing out on downloading the package, so I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. I rebooted and tried the flashplugin-nonfree again and finally got ..... videos to play but there was no sound. I assumed it was a permission issue, so I switched users and attempted to play some of the movies which I've played before and currently the video plays fine but the audio sounds very ugly. I attempted to play an mp3 using mpg123 from the command line and I get mostly static. You can hear some sound but it's all jumbled and there is a lot of static. I have a creative soundblaster card using the EMU10k1 driver. Everything was working fine before I started mucking with the flashplugin and I'm afraid something I "upgraded" may have caused my issue.
Any suggestions? Is there a way I can remove any sound related drivers etc and attempt to reinstall them? I attempted to run sudo alsaconf but afterwards, it acts like there is no sound card. a reboot resolves that issue as I didn't save any changes, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've become spoiled by all of the newer distros which detect all of my hardware and everything is configured for me.
Desktop lost (Cinnamon 2.2.16 for me) after a recent dist-upgrade in Sid. I'm new to Sid, so is this normal?

I use a usb flash stick for bootloader and /boot. Debian resides on sdaX and is LUKS encrypted (in fact LVM on LUKs). I am trying to learn how to use the Deb LIVE disk with rescue mode to re-build the bootloader and /boot on a fresh different flash drive. As a learning tool I want to approach this task as described. I have full access to a perfectly running system at this point, but I want to learn this process knowing eventually something will go "bump in the night". I did a custom install so I am aware of how this works generally speaking.
I have password access to the LUKS volume and can easily open it at the LIVE disk prompt to do so. My new flash drive is wiped and EXT2 formatted and should be ready to go. I have RAM based backup software for doing sector backups of the LUKS partition/volume. Doing a full restore at any point will be a piece of cake. I have lots of family around and the thought of a missing bootloader flash drive, while not likely, is not out of question.
How to recover a lost password from a rar file?
