Debian :: Use Lenny On Desktop - Strange Message At Boot Up
Oct 18, 2010
I use Debian Lenny on desktop. On bootup I get this strange message
Code:
Question one: what is hub 2-0:1.0? A utility? A library? A module?
Queston two: what does "enumerate" mean in this context?
Question three: I can't figure out what "port" is meant: a networking port something on the motherboard one of several I/O port/connector/sockets on the back of the computer? (Hope you know what I mean--- you stick USB connectors into them to connect your computer to a USB device, such as a USB mouse.) the one and only networking port/connector/socket on the back of the computer.
Possibly relevant: I sometimes but not always have a USB cable connecting my printer to one of the USB ports/connectors on the back of the computer at boot time. But the message always refers to "port 1", never 2,3,4. due to lack of options for getting on the Net, I use an Actiontek router which demands to be given 192.168.0.1 which would otherwise be taken by my computer, which instead gets 192.168.0.2. (Grasping at straws...)
i do have a strange problem get running php5 on lenny 64 inside apache2. i had installed it as all instructions on the web does: # apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
apt has enabled php automatically, so /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf does have inside: <ifmodule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </ifmodule>
I recently installed Antix Mepis 8M on Dell Latitude D410 laptop. Everything is fine except that at boot I get the following weird message: pci 0000:00:1e.0: BAR 7: can't allocate I/O resource [0x10000-0xffff]
It doesn't noticeably slow down the boot and everything works fine once running, but I'm curious to know what it might be and whether it could possibly represent trouble in the future.I googled it and found this: http:[url].....But there is no associated solution, and other results are largely reposts of this query.
my iwlist scan is normal. ethernet connection ok, wirless not working but does seem to receive. wifi radar lists my router ssid. Does this say I have the correct router for my wireless is my question? I am also getting this error message with this system on KDE, LENNY. From KWLAN a wpasupplicant front end.
"you do not have permissions to start pppd or pppd was not found. Dial up networking will not work."
Weird thing going on on my headless lenny box. The shared desktop won't let me in.I am trying to connect with my Mac, ssh is ok. I can connect, start vino-preferences, change everything I want to change, and still it won't let me in. both Mac Ctrl-k to vnc://lenny and Chicken of the VNC won't connect.
I recently reinstalled CentOS, and after a ton of updates, I'm just about finished getting things set up again. However, today I've noticed this really interesting message whenever I run yum. Just for demonstration, I'm going to remove gnome-screensaver, since I prefer the Xscreensaver anyway. This is the complete output, with the strange message highlighted;$ sudo yum remove gnome-screensaverLoaded plugins: fastestmirrorSetting up Remove ProcessResolving DependenciesThere are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

For some reason whenever I load gnome-terminal using 9.10 I get this message: To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details.
I use Lucid x86_64. Lately I have been getting the following message referencing the mounting of my flash drive on start-up: "The disk drive for /media/UDISK is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery." I hit skip and and Lucid continues to boot fine, and the flash drive is mounted and working properly after booting. How can I get rid of this message?
Notice the red-colored band that appeared on the top of this webpage while I was surfing the web.What does this mean? I cut and pasted the band bigger so you can see it better and what it says. I checked for the file on /home but I found nothing. I feel this is threatening my Ubuntu.
This puzzling message pops up during startup and forces a reboot:
Code: Checking root filesystems. fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem, then the superblock is corrupt. This was typed in not copied.
The laptop is running gentoo linux. Here is the fstab file and instead of having "boot" on its own partition I decided to have both "/" and "boot" in the same partition. This has never caused any problems before so I don't understand what the problem is now.
When I run dmesg I get Code: [drm:drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own Does anyone have any idea what that means? Fedora 12 Gnome 2.28
Had an old Power Mac G5 (dual 1.6ghz 256MB ram) collecting dust, so I did some research and came upon Debian Lenny. Idea was to setup the mac as a home server to share with Win7 HTPC/OSX 10.6 macbook pro/Ubuntu9.10 dell laptop machines in my house. With so many different OS's running in my house, I thought it would be the ideal solution! Downloaded and installed the Debian on the G5. Now after the fresh install.
I hear the "mac chime." Then I get:
Stage 1 Boot:
This screen loops with a folder and the finder icon w/ a ? mark.... Also, the longer this loops the faster the fans go!
Linux ulet 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 18:01:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
In order to get a newer kernel that would recognize a linksys usb wifi adapter I got the advice to upgrade to a newer kernel - 2.6.30 or newer. Which I am able to get from backports.
But when I try with .30 or .32 my machine will not boot. I do have a raid, but it is only used for data files - I do not boot from it or have any system files on it.
First I get this error:
I have not resumed the machine so I have no idea what is going on. So I press ENTER:
I have Lenny installed & it works fine, in a few days will add Windows 7 (want to dual boot - 1 250 GB hard disk) used gparted to free up lots of room for Win 7
- My question is this, Debian then Win or Win then Debian (I want GRUB to manage both so hope since Lenny is installed Win 7 will use the free space no problem) ?
I downloaded and installed a fresh ISO and already installed it 3 times in my PC but after a seemingly good installation, my machine would shutdown when I try to boot my freshly installed lenny. It was a good CD. I encountered no error reports while installing but I can't understand why after I click on Debian lenny in the grub, it would act as if it were booting and then suddenly shutdown.
I work at a public library, and am relatively new to Debian. Our OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogs) are running Debian Lenny. They are locked down to loading and visiting one specific webpage through a combination of Kiosktool and in the Opera browser.Initially, I had one machine set up with a static IP address, which worked just fine. Each machine has its own static IP which is translated at our Cisco ASA 5505 firewall to individual, physical IP addresses on the outside. However, I had many more machines that I wanted to clone from the working system.On the cloned machines, the physical network card in the machine shows up in ifconfig eth1, because it is "remembering" the eth0 network card from the master machine that it was cloned off ofNo problem, I thought, I will just change interfaces to the following:
I've got Lenny installed with the desktop environment included. Remote desktop has been activated and I can see Lenny's desktop on a second computer using VNC. When I disconnect the monitor from the first PC which is running on Lenny and start that one up it won't boot all the way and I cannot connect through VNC (connection refused).
Etch has no problem with that. When I connect a monitor to the stalling Lenny I read: Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
What can I do to establish a full boot on Lenny so I can use VNC the way Etch (and other distros) allows me to? This has something to do with the autodetect system, I suppose. Could I tell X Server to ignore the fact no monitor is connected or could I fool X Server into believing there is a monitor?
I installed lenny and now my windows 7 won't boot. When I select it in Grub the machine just restarts the bios after a few seconds of black screen. The machine I'm using is a very vanilla intel p4.
I'll paste my /boot/grub/menu.lst below. All of the drive options look correct. I properly shutdown Windows 7 before installing lenny. I'm sure I can reinstall the mbr and get my windows back, but I would like to dual boot with grub.
Whenever I reboot, I get GRUB and the _ pinking, and that's it. With rescue cd I can have chroot shell, to troubleshoot I did the upgrade-from-grub-legacy and installed it to both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb In recovery I redid the upgrade-grub and grub-install commands but still have the same "GRUB and _ blinking".
Because the text "GRUB" and then nothing I didn't enouncter while googling, I need to ask here for further troubleshooting.
I'm trying to make dual boot system with Lenny (64bit) along with WinXP. I'm using one HDD with 2 partitions and installed first XP then Lenny. Everything seems fine till the first boot after fresh install. Lenny starts to boot and after same point the screen goes blank and then is turned off and that's it...nothing happens. Happens so fast that I'm unable to see the exact messages on the screen. Maybe somewhere around staring anarcon?
PC is: Athlon64 X2 5400+ Asus M2V-MX motherboard 3GB DDR2 800 500GB WD SATA2 HDD Radeon x800 GTO video
I reinstalled 2 times and it's the same. WinXP is working fine though but I really don't want it to be my OS... Another "hint" from today: The same happens when I use "Try without installing" of Ubuntu 10.04(i386) Live CD. It starts loading and at some point turns off the monitor. Tried also with 8.04(64bit): Boots till it reach something like "Settings sensor limits" and then it's stuck. I have consoles though (Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3...).
Have a little experience with backtrack 4, which is a Ubuntu distro. I'm changing to Lenny due to hardware limitations on my laptop, an older Dell inspiron 7000.
Here's the specs : 400 MHZ, 120 G HDD parted as C: = 20G (has bad sectors, left blank) and D: = 20G Windows part 128 Mb low density RAM ATI Rage Mobility ( not sure of video RAM, I think 8 Mb)
Now I liked running BT and liked the linux work, so when the BT install went south I started to look for another linux distro I can run, the BT tools I use are linux after all. Here's where I hit my stump. I decided to go with the Lenny distro, it already has some of the tools I need, but the first time I installed I had the HDD like this 20G, 20G, 20G,20G, 17.??G. I had windows installed on C: (of course, no problems, yet)
After I installed lenny to D: via an iso I downloaded, the Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.6 "Lenny" - Official i386 xfce+lxde-CD Binary-1, BTW first install was from booting from the disk. After reparting, format, etc. of the install, GRUB boot loader detects my D: Windows, great. Reboot to GRUB boot menu, select ddebian, and it loads...cool, until I realize I don't have synaptic, the tools, and apt isn't going to work unless I can load the linux driver from the cdrom...which I can't find.
Reboot...windows, internet for answers I'm thinkin. GRUB loads fine, select windows and get the following error message "Windows can't start because of hardware configuration problems. Could not read from selected boot disk, check boot path and hardware. Check configuration manual for disk configuration."
It took three days to get Windows reinstalled, and a LL format (zerowrite the drive) but during the process I discovered a possible hdw issue...bad sectors on the C: hdd. Solution: C: 20G = unused, D: = Windows xp. Worked great. No more windows issues, so try it again. This time I used the disks installer from windows. Everything started great, boot menuselected debian, install-graphic, but this time I let the part manager create a drive, 20G from the free space an it appropriately made it's swapfile...when lenny booted it was good, but still no synaptic, cd/rom, couldn't browse the computer.
Reboot to windows to get instructions from someone that really knows what's going on...no windows. exactly same message as before. I was able to boot into debian okay, but couldn't find any drives, utilities, wasn't very much, but I needed my windows and the internet to get lessons. I am familiar with the terminal console and KDE. Can use apt for updating, but prefer using the synaptic. Why does my windows keep disappearing? If I can solve the dual boot issue I can learn the system casually. Right now my config is: C: = 20G, nothing here, still haven't run a scandisk either...next on todo list. D: = 20G Windows install...what I'm using now. I'm not going to attempt to reinstall debian until I receive a efinate answer to the dissappearing config, or boot capacity. Oh, yeah, Did try a fdisk/mbr and fix. this didn't bring it back either.
I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot.
I get this message:
I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer.
I've done the ordinary sources.list update (lenny to squeeze) and Code: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dpkg apt aptitude.sudo aptitude full-upgrade However, udev failed to install, and I used..Code: touch /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade and did full-upgrade again. Everything was going fine, I went through several package configurations and suddenly, after 30-40 minutes of "Unpacking Setting up." I just heard two system beeps and got an error similar to a kernel panic. The SYSRQs did nothing. Did a hard reboot.I got two kernels in GRUB now. + the GRUB2 chainloading option. Used this one and got Code: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block It's all the same with the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel kernel panic. Using the older kernel didn't fail on the boot up, but showed many UDEV related errors and logging in was impossible - all I get were segmentation faults. Forgot to mention it - my FS is Reiserfs
I have installed Koha on Debian Lenny. It does work well, but I have to manually start the koha-zebra-ctl.sh by entering /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start The is, however, that this starts at boot from /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon. Like /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start (does not work now) In the koha-zebra-daemon file I have:
#!/bin/sh # Quick start-stop-daemon example, derived from Debian /etc/init.d/ssh set -e # Must be a valid filename
I have a dual boot computer. I seem to be having a bit of a problem with Grub lately. Every time I do any kind of update in Debian Lenny AMD 64 it borks my Grub. The first time I had to change a few lines in menu.lst (hd1,1 to hd0,1), no problem. The second time, things went downhill fast and G-Parted was giving me errors on my NTFS partitions. I had to do an XP repair, fixboot, and I had to reinstall Grub completely to the MBR.
Now, I having a "Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait.... Error 22". All I did was update Debian Linux and shut down. From my initial searches this is an error relating to not finding the correct partition. I have booted with a G-Part CD and it shows all my partitions. I do have a Windows XP Home boot cd if I need it. Here is my partition outline if you need it:
/dev/sda1 NTFS (Windows) flags--boot /dev/sda2 Ext3 (Linux) /dev/sda3 FAT32 (shared space between Windows and Linux) /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 linux-swap
i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).
I have a laptop with Karmic Koala in dual boot with Lenny. I need to reinstall Lenny however if I do that I will loose Karmic Koala in the grub screen because of the new version of grub that comes with Karmic Koala. Which means that I will need to reinstall Karmic Koala after Lenny so that they both appear in the grub screen at startup. If I reinstall only Lenny is it possible to use Gparted to change the boot back to Karmic Koala and have them both in the grub screen again? Or is there another way around it?
For about the past month I have been having a very frustrating problem When I boot the system with the ethernet cable attached it acts as if the cable is unplugged even though the connection light is litWhen I boot the system with the ethernet cable disconnected and wait until it boots all the way to gnome and then plug in the cable everything works fine
For some reason, the desktop for Fedora 12 has the following closing tag:
Code: </body> <
I have just installed Fedora 12, and I am using GNOME. Even the live disc had the tags. I had assumed that after installing the software to the hard disk I would be rid of the problem. Apparently I was wrong. Google does not seem to bring up a solution. Has anyone else encountered this?
