hi, first i'd like to say that i'm totally new to linux, i was allways using windows.
as i was allways unable to install a good and stable ssh-server on windows, i thought it is time to change to linux. i was able to set up and configure a ssh-server on debian but found out, that fedora 15 looks more userfriendly in first place for me. but now i unfortunately experience problems..
the ssh server was already installed, i changed the service setting to that it starts automatically but after i succesfully connected to the LAN, i cannot access the shh via putty for instance. when i type "service sshd status" it says beside other things: active (running). but when i look at the /var/log/messages, it says those two lines:
sshd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255 Unit sshd.service entered failed state.
i searched on google without success, the only thing i found was that someone had the same problem with a bad sshd_config file, but i'm pretty sure that everything is alright with my config-file (i checked it several times).
beside this i cant login on the gui, after the firefox update (??) it always says: a problem has occured and the system can't recover bla bla... so i can only use fedora right now commandline-based.. but with this problem i will deal later on...
F15 x86_64 I can start this from the command line and it shows no errors. httpd -t --- syntax ok. no entry in the httpd error logs. chkconfig reports it as on. service --status-all shows this --
httpd.service - LSB: start and stop Apache HTTP Server Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd) Active: failed since Wed, 01 Jun 2011 07:06:18 +0100; 58min ago Process: 1152 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/httpd.service
After a reinstall I finally caught this in /var/log/messages systemd[1]: Unit httpd.service entered failed state The httpd.service file does not exist on the system. Where can I get a copy?
I am a Linux newbie using Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7 (its almost similar to Redhat Linux). While going through tutorials, I tried to configure the DCHP service and set it to start after every boot via the command
chkconfig dhcpd on
When I boot my Linux,the OS hangs when it tries to start the dhcpd service.Thus,I cannot log into my Linux and shutdown the service. How can I go around this and shutdown the DHCP service to enable my Linux to fully load after a boot?
What's the best way to get a list of the start order of services from systemd? Yes, I've tried
Code:
systemctl --order
This looks like the output I would expect, except that if that list is the system service start order, then my system is hosed. I certainly hope that my system is not starting nfs service before all the /usr/export filesystems are mounted.
I tried
Code:
systemd --test --system
but that generates over 22 thousand lines of gibberish! I filtered that with
Code:
systemd --test --system | grep -- -> | grep Unit | grep -i service
And it's less gibberish, but it's ALMOST the reverse order of the first command, and still pretty crazy.Ultimately, I need to discover, and fix the order of the services started by systemd, because they were mangled during the upgrade from Fedora 14 I hope that "systemctl --order" is either not the real deal, or I'm reading it wrong. Because if it is, I'm afraid I have a huge problem to fix.
I'm getting BSOD when I'm booting my main system (debian 8 fully updated). I get a BSOD with a _ sign. URL...because I can't access to failed boots files. Besides having the files
Code: Select allfelipe@debian ~ % ls /var/log/journal 362d07f9e18b45f8aec4575c347f181d 92e8a448f7a348719da129184a7e6821

On macbook air 6.2, i've installed a Debian jessie mate DE, dual boot using refind. I'm currently fine-tuning it. I've made a script following powertop advice:
I am trying to setup LDAP server on Ubuntu 10.04 and am sticking to the old /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file configuration.
I had to comment ldapi:/// from /etc/default/slapd since it was giving 'Address already in use error'. Also had to juggle with pid directory and file issues
After that I was able to start the slapd daemon (service slapd start) but now I am running into multiple issues:
1. Can't stop the service with service slapd stop
Code: ## Service stop returns 0, maybe because start-stop-daemon is not giving error #service slapd stop Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd. # echo $? 0
Will switching to BDB database resolve this ?Also can't I slapcat at non-root user ??
I am using Fedora 12 with HP 1020 Laser Jet. Plugged printer in and installed it. Now it doesn't want to print, it gives me a printer state message: /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed.
I have tried to reinstall hplip but it is the same.
I am new in configuring named.I want to set my firewall (Fedora 11) as a name server. The local domain is a Windows domain. I'd like internal users translate domain name into IP on this server when they go to the internet. After reading some posts on the web, I set up named as below. It seems the named does the job but with some problems.
1) When I start the server, I couldn't find the named process even if the file "named" is in /etc/init.d. I can browse Internet on the server with domain name (DNS works locally). But internal users couldn't get the domain name translated. If I shutdown the server at this stage, it will shutdown within 1 minute.
2) If I run "service named start" after the server boot up, I see process "named" and named work okay. Both internal user and local host can browse Internet with domain name. However, any command starting with "service named" has no response after this, such as "service named status" or "service named stop". I can see it shows "stopping named" and this last forever. I have to kill the process then restart named server so that named may run again.
3) If I shutdown the server now, it will take 4-5 minute instead of 1 minute in 1). The shutdown stuck at "shutdown named" for 4 minutes. Even if I kill process named before the shutdown, it will take 4-5 minutes.
It took me a week on this issue. I appreciate if you could take a look my configure files and guide me through this.
I'm running PCLinuxOS with no other OS installed. Thought I'd have a go at chainloading. just for interests sake.So, I opened Konsole, entered su and entered my root password. The command line turned red so, I imagined all was well. But when I then keyed in '/boot/grub/.menu.lst' I was refused access.
Two general questions about Fedora 15 before I decide to install. My system typically starts in about 32 seconds, with a distro using normal boot scripts. With Ubuntu and upstart it reaches the gdm login screen quicker in around 18 - 24 seconds. With systemd does anyone get a noticeable difference?
Also, is it possible to use an alternative desktop to gnome3 in Fedora 15. I've tried Gnome3 with Arch and its very slick although not for me, as I like panels and desktop applets. (I should add that my times quoted were mesaured using bootchart with a default set of services, no tweaking).
Anybody notice a slowdown in their boot times? I have had F11 (64 bit) running for about three days and it is taking twice as long to boot as when I first installed. I have not done much other than configure my wireless printer and change a few icons. I have Compiz cube effects running but I did that right away and it made no difference in my system speed. If anything I thought I should be booting faster after disabling a few things in the start up menu that I dont need.
I went from about a 30 second total boot to almost a minute to the login screen top - 15:13:37 up 11 min, 2 users, load average: 0.35, 0.24, 0.12 Tasks: 150 total, 1 running, 149 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.8%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3062244k total, 523208k used, 2539036k free, 31580k buffers Swap: 5111800k total, 0k used, 5111800k free, 206328k cached
Im running a virtual linux server on a low-end system, and i wold like to configure the server to boot in terminal window and not to the Gnome log in window, this is because of the low specs on the hardware.
whats the difference between restarting/stopping apache using 'service httpd restart/stop' and apachectl restart/stop. I know that using 'service httpd restart' is actually a script in /etc/init.d/httpd but what about apachectl?
i have added a tomcat startup service using chkconfig. I have set up JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME as well ass alternatives to point to the correct location.I have an init script in /etc/init.d. When i start the tomcat service using [ /etc/init.d/<x> start ] everything works fine and the environment variables for JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are used correctly.Now i added the service <x> using chkconfig --add so that it can start on boot up. But now the service does not use the system environment variable for JAVA and JRE setup by me.Also after complete bootup if i try to start the service using [ service <x> start] the environment variable in the shell are not used. don't want to exclusively declare variables for JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME in the init script.
I've 7 PC's on my network. I've to setup an internal mail service, to send mails inside the network. I've installed Fedora 12 on one machine and the rest run's on Windows XP. What all packages do I need? How can I configure it?
My actual mail is via pop3 from verizon. What I've done so far is just pull my pop3 mail onto my main machine at my house. But I'm finding I'd rather have a single imap server on my network so then all my machines could see the same mail.
I don't really want the imap server to poll verizon for mail, I just want the imap server to check pop3 mail at verizon only when one of my mail apps checks into it to look for mail.
I ran the 11.04 upgrade. At the end, it reported a failure, implied a recovery would occur and the upgrade then finished. The recovery was supposed to have run sudo dpkg --configure -a. That does not appear to have happened. I am concerned that a reboot will render my system inoperative.Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions? What information should I provide. report.
clafiry what this means? It is in my secure log file: xinetd[5544]: START: smtp pid=6574 from=xx.xx.xx.xx xinetd[5544]: START: ftp pid=6465 from=xx.xx.xx.xxThey are repeated in my secure log hundreds of times, one every second or so.Also how can I stop my ftp and smtp service? Tried the usuals:service ftpd stop/etc/init.d/proftpd stopIt's a Fedora server.
I have setup a backup system on a NFS Server, and everything is working fine.Then, I decided to make changes to my backup script, and accidentally, I turned off both the NFS Server and Client without unmounting first.The NFS Server is working fine, but the client is having a problem. I cannot shutdown the nfs service. Here is what I get when I type "service nfs restart":
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
I been trying to install the Nvidia driver for my recently installed centos desktop but I could not find the services that I can stop. I have a gnome. did try gdm, xdgm etc etc but no luck how do I stop the x server service ? so that I can install the driver.
When I first started running Jessie 8.1 I noticed that after the disk check the boot was quiet, ie. no messages to the terminal . However, something has happened and now when I boot the machine I get a verbose listing of all the processes being started. Is there a way to change it back to the way it was? In other words a quiet boot. The only thing I know of that has been 'anomalous' behavior is the other day when doing a mp4 to avi conversion, using avconv, I apparently had an over temp condition which closed my LXDE session and brought me to the login prompt. Don't know what other info one may need but feel free to ask for more, if necessary.
I have installed squid 2.7 in my red hat Linux box.I need some guidance regarding to start and stop squid service. Normally when squid configuration file is n /etc/squid/squid.conf and we want to start the service we use # service squid startand to stop the service we use# service squid stopNow squid is inCode:# /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.confhere the default # service squid start and # service squid stop does not work.
We're seeing NFS hangs with a Fedora 13 client to a Thecus N7700 NAS unit. /etc/fstab entry for the mount is pure default. Sometimes, the hang ups freeze the Fedora client and it has to be power-cycled to reboot it.
