Fedora :: Bootup Failure Trouble
May 15, 2011
I am facing bootup issue in Fedora 14.I troubleshoot the bootup issue i m facing probably because I have done change the name of volumes from disk utiltiy. I read somewhere that it should be done from another place (administration option, the last menu of fedora and there is some volume/disk management..like thing that give rod like blue/red picture of disk=>System-config-lvm) rather then disk utility under system tools. I think that my LVM path is not setup..due to rename of volume..it is mismatched somewhere...that includes path...finally using rescue disk i enter in shell prompt and mounted my system using chroot /mnt/sysimage
then found that my /home is empty, so done some readings and found that using mount /dev/vg_brs/home /home
i am able to get my home fixed that now appeared my user and whole data.
but that is till i m in shell prompt. Don't know where and how to fix/add this line so that boot loader of fedora will take this instead of something other that it is taking and not founding resulting in failure to boot with message (in between lines)

After loading all the apps I use last night with a working FC14 x86_64, I powered up this morning and nothing happened after starting atd.1 try an alternat kernel same effectstart in init 1, OK go to init 3 OKran startx .. failedlook for xorg.conf.. no fileNow if Iwas still running mandriva , I would have typed mcc and bought up the control panel so I could have sorted out the Xorg problem, or tried. There really needs to be something like this.I found that gdm was not installed so installed it.It will now boot up to the login screnn, but wont accept my passwd.restart in init 3, login as root and add another user and set the password for that user.I also rest my passwd as welll.boot up again and get authentication failure on both users, and I cant login as root as someone removed that feature.
Also I can't use Ctrl-Alt -backspace to killl X so I have access to CLI so I can login there and run startx.I suspect several gnome packages have been removed/lost as I use lefthand mouse settings and the mostsetting are back to default.All I have is a live CD to gain access to the forum, and I only have one computer.There really needs to be a fallback to one of the smalll DMs on fedora so in situations like this you are nt forced to use CLI, thats if a new user would know how to access it. As there is no bootsplash, you have to already know to hit return and wait for the bootsplash.
IMO this a is a seriouss flaw, in what otherwise is a good OS.In the meantime I'll try and install XFCE to get X running, but I will need some help getting gnome back.I'll load gnome-panel and see if yum will pick up the rest as depemdencies.I hope this isn't a bug, as to lost the DM after the first machine power cycle is fairly drastic---------- Post added at 08:52 AM GMT ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM GMT ----------I resorted to yum install gnome-*which loaded 255 packages, including gnome-desktop, gnome-common, all the gnome applettsThis wasn't just one or two packages corupted, it was removal of the DM altogetherSimilar effect to running "rm -rf gnome-* "

I've just setup a new centos 5.3 server with a 3-disc raid 5 software RAID array. I've setup other software raid 5 arrays on this same hardware, whilst testing, and had no trouble... I only just installed 3 new drives and performed a new install from scratch.
Hardware is: 4800XP X2 64-bit, 2GB RAM, Albatron KI-690G mainboard with Marvel SATA controller (I think) - 4 ports.
SATA port 0 is system drive (OCZ vertex 32GB SSD)
SATA port 1 is Western Digital "green" 1TB 8MB cache SATA 2
SATA port 2 is Western Digital "green" 1TB 8MB cache SATA 2
SATA port 3 is Western Digital "green" 1TB 8MB cache SATA 2
Ports 1-3 in software raid MD0 (raid 5)
All of this was configured in the GUI setup, with LVM on top of software RAID 5 mounted on /var. Partition size is ~1.9TB
Trouble is I get all sorts of "hardware failure" messages at bootup and the MD driver reports it was only able to bring up 2 out of 3 drives in the RAID set... however the RAID set formatted fine during the setup?
Here is the relevent dmesg output...

I'm having a tough time trying to wrap my head around the command line and any help would be greatly appreciated. I've downloaded and am trying to install mpg123. I'll tell you what I THINK I'm supposed to do and if someone could correct me where I'm going wrong I would appreciate it.The program is in my downloads folder. it looks unpacked to me because I can see all the separate files but I will assume that I'm wrong. so to unpack it:$ tar -jxvf mpg123-1.9.2.tar.bz
or do i need to unpack it to a certain place like: $ tar -jxvf mpg123-1.9.2.tar.bz ~/username/downloads/if thats the case I tried and it says no file or directory exists. IF I do get it unpacked the install instructions tell me:
1. New installation via GNU autotools
I dont understand because I can see it in the exact file path that it tells me doesnt exist. All I'm trying to do to install some software and its very frustrating because I dont know these simple commands that are the backbone of linux, which I really want to use. I realize that there are a ton of howto's out there but I havent found one that is easy enough to understand for someone who's never typed a command in his life or that isnt so broad and all encompassing that it blows my mind just look at the screen. Please help

Everytime I try to install Adobe Flash, I have problems. I go the RPM route or the YUM route and still have problems. I've even tried yum a 2nd time and it says its already installed, but if I go to a website that requires Flash, it says pluggin missing. On the other hand, if I go and install JAVA it somehow installs the pluggins and everything works from there on. Can someone tell me what I'm missing on the original install ?

I boot it up using the live cd then try to install it to my hard drive. I want to dual boot Vista and Fedora, so I've created another partition.However I'm having trouble whilst installing. When I get to the stage to select where I want to install it I choose the "Custom" choice. It is then also obvious what partition to choose as one is much smaller. But no matter what options I pick for it, it brings up an error. >_<
I know this is probably a terrible and confusing explanation, but I'm a huge newb to linux and especially fedora.If you want a better explanation please ask and I will try to deliver.

Is anyone else having trouble with waking up from suspend mode? After bringing the computer (Dell Studio 1555) back from suspend mode, GNOME moves very slowly. Cursor is unresponsive for significant amounts of time - any open windows do not respond to selection... Effects don't usually go away until a reboot is performed. This evening, one such restart resulted in a crash, where the shutdown process locked at the attempt to shut down the mouse/pointer module..

My system is F13 (upgraded from F11) with all of the latest patches available. I haven't gone through and combined all of the rpmnew configuration files, but none of them seem to address networking.I'm trying to get subinterfaces (secondary IP addresses) to work in Fedora 13. So far, I have been able to configure them on the command line, but not to get them to persist on booting.My base address for the NIC is: A.B.C.254. It is statically assigned.

I sue Fedora 13. Since a few times ago, every time when I start the computer, it appears a message of SELinux trouble shooter about a security alert. But most of times there are no errors to show.

I'm trying to install SL6 to a pair of 2TB harddisks in a RAID 1 array. The problem is that when the "Formatting" progress window that says "Creating ext4 filesystem on /dev/mapper/pdc_eahgdeafbgp1" comes up it appears to eventually freeze. It's been like that for 6 hours without the progress bar moving at least. I have another identical system that I booted up using the gparted live cd to see if I could get any more information using that. I first created a 500MB ext4 partition and mkfs.ext4 ran almost instantly. I then tried 5GB and it seemed to take maybe about a second or two and worked fine. I then jumped up to 500GB and it's been running for about 5 hours now. I'm pretty sure that I remember the creation of an ext4 filesystem occuring extremely fast even for very large partitions, but this is the first time I've played with RAID.

I first installed Fedora 15 (full clean install) on a spare laptop I had sitting around and the install went flawlessly. I was able to install it and use it right out the gate. I was then able to install two of my must-have programs, xchat and libreoffice without any problems either.Then I tried the same thing on my primary desktop at work (and since I run an IT department, I already have permission to do this :-)
The problem I'm getting is trying to install anything;the package manager is having trouble contacting the source.The exact error reads: "Software source download failed. Could not contact source 'fedora', so it will be disabled."I have not made anychanges to the firewall on the machine and the machine does have a working internet connection (I am posting from the machine). Any tips or advice on ways to troubleshoot would be great. I'm by no means a linux expert, but I can get around the system fairly well

I updated to the newest kernel today ( 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64 ) via software updates and noticed there is a 10 second pause just after the grub screen goes away and before plymouth comes up. This never happened with the previous kernel. Anyone notice this?

I have a cheap usb kvm that doesn't pass the EDID data back to the computer from the monitor. And now Fedora 12 seems to rely on autodetection of the monitor to start up at the proper resolution. When I have my samsung 712N on the kvm, fedora 12 boots to only 800x600 max resolution. If I connect the monitor directly to the computer video card, fedora sets the screen resolution to the desired 1280x1024 properly.
When booted through the kvm, fedora won't let me detect or select the correct monitor, and I haven't found any way to work around the problem other than pulling the monitor off the cable, connect to the cpu, reboot. After it's booted I can reconnect the monitor to the kvm and the video is fine.
My question is does anyone know how to manually tell Fedora 12 at startup what kind of monitor I'm using and skip the bootup monitor detection? So far I've spent a couple unproductive hours with google to discover this isn't a totally uncommon problem and no site I've found seems to have any solution.

I had some problems and had to upgrade my motherboard. I chose the same manufacturer and haven't had any major problems booting into Fedora 11. (I was totally amazed by this BTW).The only thing is that I have 8 GBs of memory in my computer and System-monitor now says that I only have 3.2. Lastly my nvidia driver which is working correctly, is giving errors about python at bootup. Something about glib being presentAnother weird thing is that GRUB will not let me interrupt it either during normal usage nor with a live CD loaded. This also started happening after I installed Fedora 11 on my old board.

We need to have the wireless associated with the access point prior to the first login.
Have not been able to get it to work yet. WPA-PSK. wireless will not connect until login.
This is necessary for nfs automount and openldap auth to work. Not a home networking environment.
How to troubleshoot effectively.

Sometimes, in fact quite frequently, when I boot up my system, PulseAudio does not work. ('Connection Refused'). If I log out of my normal account, log in as root, log out of root, and log back in to my normal account, this seems to reset Pulse Audio and it works again. Seems like a security glitch, but I can't be sure.

When I went to start up the computer, the kernel usually hung at the same place on boot up, although sometimes it booted just fine. The default kernel is 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64. It's boot up arguments are:
Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=75d16864-ba74-49ef-aaa9-0a1dd3c92254 noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau
I also have kernel 2.6.32.7-37.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64. I have seen the same behavior out of all four of them. Last night I ran Memtest86+ all night. It took eight passes with no memory errors. As far as hard disks go, I have two Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drives operating as software RAID 1 (mirroring). One of the drives does have three bad sectors. The motherboard is an Asus P6T6 WS. This morning I plugged in the GP diagnostic chip that came with it, but I'm not seeing a whole lot useful there, except that now it is just displaying "FF" non stop.
I did some poking around on the web, and it looks like "FF" is supposed to mean that the CPU isn't properly seated, which makes no sense because the system monitor software is detecting all four cores perfectly, and I have no other odd behaviors anywhere else. At this point I'm rather at a loss to understand what could be causing the difficulties. Sometimes any of the four kernels boots fine, and sometimes they don't. The funny thing is that on the blue "boot progress bar" all four kernels hang at exactly the same spot if they hang at all. After doing some more poking around, I'm relatively sure that "FF" does NOT mean that the processor isn't seated correctly. I'm going to try contacting Asus and see how far I get towards getting some good info on what the diagnostic codes mean.

I've been able to get a laptop on Fedora 14 (2.6.35.6-48) working with a Netgear WNA1100 Once up and running, I execute "ifconfig wlan0 up" from root, and everything connects just fine and is stable as long as I stay logged in. But, I haven't found how to do this automatically on boot.
I've tried to use NetworkManager, but I cannot figure out how to get the GUI to show up - it says its running and enabled in the Services gui, but I haven't figured out how to actually use it! I checked to see if the nm-applet is running with ps, and for the user login, I see:
I'm not sure if the "sm-disable" flag is my problem, or how to change it. I'm not even sure if NetworkManager will allow me to set things up for bootup, but that is the path I ran down...
I assume this is a fundamentally easy process to set this up on bootup, but I'm not stumbling across the method. I recall doing this kind of thing years ago when I was an engineer, and before I got my lobotomy to become a manager...

I have a problem where the volume in F15 is way too loud. The computer is a Dell Optiplex Gx280 using what is labeled as an Intel ICH6 for the audio card. I have the system volume at about 10% and have to still keep banshee's volume at 5% or lower otherwise it's just too loud. The system saves the volume level between reboots, however I've run alsamixer and noticed that the headphone jack is at max volume.
So, I ran:
Code:
sudo alsamixer -c0
lowered the headphone jack volume by half, then ran
Code:
sudo alsactl store 0
to save that setting. Upon rebooting, the headphone jack is back to 100%, though.
If I run
Code:
sudo alsactl restore 0
then it will restore the settings I saved but it obviously isn't doing this during bootup. How would I run this command at boot?

I installed F11 on a SATA 500 GB Hard drive. I plugged this HD in various computers. It worked fine.
However, when I try it on the following platform (the one I have to get it to work): (PC104 bus, AMD 1.1GZ with 512 RAM), I get a file system error during bootup.
On the other hand, the system gave the chance to enter the root password. So, once I did this, I tried to run commands "fsck -f /dev/sda" and "fsck -f /dev/sda1". The command could not find sda or sda1.
I tried the fsck on different platforms (with the same HD), it worked fine.
I returned the CPU board to the vendor, and I am expecting a new board soon. I assumed the problem could be with the board itself. But, I am not sure.

We are brand new to the Linux platform and just learning. So this is what we have done so far, Installed RHEL 5 on a test machine. Says it was succesfully installed. But when it boots it boots to a blank screen with no prompt or gui or anything just a black screen. Does not accept any input or anything.
We are able to get into the GNU Grub and this is what we see
I can enter b for boot
We would like for this to boot to a GUI interface.
We want to set this up as a simple file server.

All of a sudden my production system changed to read only. Ran fsck and it ran for about 5-10min before it crapped out. Now when rebooting, getting an ext3-fs error, attached is an image. The system is on an ESX environment.
