Debian :: Kernel Dircolors Daily Error 6
Aug 24, 2010
I'm using Debian 5.0.4 Lenny. Daily my logs kern.log, messages, and syslog are filled with errors regarding dircolors: Quote: Aug 24 23:05:34 myserver.com kernel: [1906415.362252] dircolors[11556]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bfffcd4c error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000] Aug 24 23:08:02 myserver.com kernel: [1906563.298468] dircolors[12296]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bffff61c error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000] Aug 24 23:10:30 myserver.com kernel: [1906711.794160] dircolors[12914]: segfault at 0 ip 08049e30 sp bfffe8fc error 6 in dircolors[8048000+8000] etc...
I've googled this to death and still haven't found a solution to fix or stop this. I read on man dircolors to: dircolors --version The output I receive on this cmd is only: Segmentation fault I do: dircolors --print-database The output I pasted here since it is quite long: [URL] It ends with: .wav 00;36 Segmentation fault

I am running on a laptop and cron.daily is set to run at 0625 So I wonder what happens if my machine is not turned on at that time.. At that rate it could also be off for the other periods as well (weekly, monthly) Is there solution that will allow them to run once they are online after the appointed time? using a cron entry that runs every 15 or 5 or 1 minute.

I just noticed that my ClamAV is too old, and it will no longer start:
Starting ClamAV daemon: clamd LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************

Problem is, that there is no newer version for Debian Lenny.I did my aptitude-update and aptitude safe-upgrade, but nothing newer is available.I want to stay within stable (cuz it is a production server). What am I to do?

When I login over ssh or when I open a local text shell I can't get dircolors to show up.
If I open a shell in an X-Session the dircolors are there. Also, colors work fine over text mode and SSH, in both of them VIM works perfectly fine with my colorfull configurations.
This is the session I get when I do a remote login over SSH:
Code: Select allremote ~ % echo $TERM

I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.

Changed my shell to zsh and somewhere along the way lost dircolors. When I type ls I get directories, files, symlinks, etc., in colour but when I tab to autocomplete commands in the shell the colours have disappeared. Not sure what I've done because I've been experimenting with rxvt-unicode as well, at the same time. If it's any use echo $TERM gives me rxvt-unicode-256color. Exporting $TERM as xterm gives the same result, i.e, no colours.I've tried the following:
Code:
cat /etc/DIR_COLORS > ~/.dircolors
As I say, for some reason ls does bring up files in colour, but tabbing to autocomplete

I was having a problem on my squid server whereby 1 website would timeout daily and return a nscd not found error: [url]....There may be other sites but this is the only one I know of. A selection of other sites still work correctly, which is the strange thing.I have found that by restarting the dns cache everything works again: /etc/init.d/nscd restart.I never know quite when this will timeout so it is not very good for people accessing that site on the server.

I installed Chromium Browser and made it default. The version which is available through squeeze and wheezy main is a dinosaur, and as such I cannot install any Chrome addons. I tried ubuntu or launchpad ppa for Chromium-Daily. I added [URL] maverick main to my Third party Repositories. Its not working.
The terminal returns an error:
W: GPG error: [URL] maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5

I'm somewhat familiar with Ubuntu (familiar but not sharp!) but have never tried Debian OS until now. I've installed Debian 5 64bit as a guest on a Mac host. I'm impressed how smooth the install went; even installing VB Guest Additions went smoothly. But, I get a "Your system had a kernel failure" error after booting. I have searched the forum & didn't find this error. Everything seems to work okay but is there an update that isn't showing in the Update Manager? Could this have something to do with VirtualBox 3.1.4?

I am trying to build a test VM with VirtualBox 3.2.8, hosted on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. I am trying to install Debian Squeeze from the daily build (specifically, from the following URL):
[URL]
(I've also tried the netinst ISO in the same directory.) The sha1sums are correct for each image.
When I start the VM, it refuses to boot, giving me the message "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
I would like to note that I've used VirtualBox for several years now, and GNU/Linux since 1995. So I have some experience in the field. (Of course experience is not much guard against brown-bag mistakes.) I've tried this same VM with an Ubuntu ISO (simply switching the attached ISO in the config), and it boots and installs OK.
Is there a known problem with the daily builds vs. VirtualBox?

I'm a relatively new Debian user, having come from Ubuntu. I recently bought a Dell micro-server to function as my Kodi media player. I installed an nVidia GeForce 210 to output to my Pioneer home theatre amplifier. The amp takes all my inputs (eg. Satellite set-top decoder, PS3, Kodi etc) and outputs to the TV. I installed XFCE as my desktop environment so that I could still interact with it via VNC.
Everything is working great except for one exceptionally annoying problem! Every day, I find that I am having to VNC into the desktop, load up nVidia X Settings, and change my screen resolution from Auto to 1920x1080 because it has lost the display configuration and the screen is blank. I presume this happens when the amplifier switches from one input to the next. It doesn't matter if I save the configuration to my X11.conf file or not - it still resets itself.
Before, this setup would run for months without any intervention (Same amplifier + HP microserver + Ubuntu + LXDE + ATI video card), so I'm pretty confident that the issue is either Debian, XFCE, or the nVidia card.

I got a new laptop the other day, repartitioned it and installed Lenny. The wireless did not work. From some searching, I decided that I have the 14e4:4727 broadcom chipset. The driver I need is partially supported by the 2.6.33 kernel. I installed squeeze and downloaded the 2.6.35-7 kernel from kernel.org Then compiled it with the debian 2.6.32 kernel config file. Once it was done I installed the kernel deb files, and restarted it.
Kernel 2.6.35.7 Compiled with commands
make oldconfid
make menuconfig
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-hermes" --revision "10-5-2010" --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers
[0.433831] PCI_root PNP0A03:00: address space collision : host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xdfffffff] conflicts with PCI bus 000:00 [mem 0xd0000000-0xffffffff]
And it seems to hang until I manually hold the power button to shut it down.
Before I compiled my own kernel I tried to use the liquorix-2.6.35-amd64 kernel with the same result. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Computer: DELL Inspiron m5010

phenom 2 triple core
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
I have been using linux primarily for a year or two.

I am running Lenny and using VirtualBox OSE 1.6.6. In order to try squeeze I installed it in a VM. I tried to install Guest Additions also, but i get this error:
VirtualBox 1.6.6 Guest Additions installation
Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel module...
Building the shared folder support kernel module...
Unable to build the kernel module.
I checked what /var/log/vboxadd-install.log had to say:

/tmp/vbox.0/utils.c: In function 'sf_path_from_dentry:

I tried with 3 versions of the kernel 2.6.32-5-686,2.6.32-5-484,2.6.32-3-686 but I cannot get it to work using any of them. Also I tried to install version 2.6.30-2-686 but I couldn't since synaptic said that it Depends: linux-kbuild-2.6.30 but it is not installable.

Since I got the liquorix kernel installed on my machine I got an error of setting kernel variable error. net.ipv6.bindv6only at boot time, since it wasnt a big deal I never looked further into it, but now that I had some spare time and I didnt want to see any errors on my machine I found a solution for it, with a little googling all we need to do is read the /usr/share/doc/procps/README.Debian and bingo no more error i hope this help anyone else with the same problem. I did the 3rd suggestion on that file to load the module in /etc/modules cheers.

We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,
After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

Dell laptop booting from a USB stick with a CentOS 5.5 minimum installation.
Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.13 starting
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd-dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - no syncing: Attempted to kill init!
1. Does minimum installation not drop on a kernel or initrd with ext3 support? I can't imagine that's true, but have to ask.
2. The USB stick is single partition ext3. Maybe there is some limitation specifically related to USB stick booting that requires boot to be FAT16 or FAT32? Except the CentOS 5.5 installer refuses to let me install on either FAT.
3. How can I do the equivalent of lsmod on a linux installation that will not boot? i.e. I have CentOS x86_64 running in VirtualBox, I can plug the USB stick in there, so how do I get information on the USB stick's kernel and initrd if I can't boot from it?
4. Is it possible to rebuild the i386 based initrd on this USB stick, when the computer is not booted from that stick, with a system that's x86_64 based?
System Info:
Dell Latitude i686 Laptop which has run CentOS 5.5 and Fedora 12,13,14 in the past, and boots from Fedora 14 Live CD transferred to a USB stick. So I know USB booting is possible on this machine, and this stick.
The process of creating the stick:
CentOS 5.5 i386 on a USB stick. Old Dell i686 laptop which has previously run CentOS 5.5 installed from DVD, and has successfully booted from this same USB stick holding transferred Fedora 12,13,14 Live CDs. CentOS 5.5 was installed onto the USB drive directly by the CentOS 5.5 DVD installer (running virtualized in VirtualBox 4.02 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.). No errors or complaints during installation.
For whatever reason, the installer did not do some things correctly. First Grub wasn't working correctly, I got that sorted out and have the Grub+CentOS splash screen, it finds vmlinuz and the initrd, and then I get a kernel panic.
Ext3 was built into the kernel and that's why I'm getting this message. I do not know how the installer would have dropped a kernel or initrd during instalation that that don't contain such a basic thing that obviously comes in linux kernel 2.6.18-89 EL.

Over the past few days I have been trying to install an older kernel (kernel 2.6.28.1) on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit WUBI installation. I compiled, installed, and updated my grub for the kernel. When I reboot, the grub menu correctly gives me the option of booting into the older kernel but when I do so I receive the following error message:
error: you need to load the linux kernel first.
I am at a complete loss on how to fix this. I even downgraded grub but I still get the same error.

I installed ubuntu on my laptop recently and would like to have trim support. (Because I have a ssd drive (crucial c-300 256gb). The current kernel that I am using is the 2.6.32 (standard lucid kernel I believe). Unfortunately TRIM support is only available from 2.6.33 and up. So I thought I'd install a new kernel using this howto:
