Fedora Installation :: Sick Of F11 Completely Hacked Off Now?
Aug 27, 2009
I am sick to the back teeth of fedora 11 Every time I try and run yum for any install at all it just keeps saying segment fault. When I have tried installing mysql it keeps coming up with the same fault yet again segment fault. I even get this stupid error when trying to install postgresql:
[Code]...
Its got nothing to do with my connection at all keeps happening at home, work when I use my vmWare server, I have a netinstall of FC10 so I am going back to that.
If anyone can help me in using a better method of making yum work, then thats brilliant but one final try and one error I am going back, this is a major rant as I am working for clients now and this just isnt suitable, if FC10 does this then I am going to a different dist like CentOS or something more robust as this is just rediculous!

Fresh install of Fedora 11 x86_64, ext4 file system, Intel Quad, 1 Tb disk
Went through install, defined mike as user with password
reboot, get graphic login (init 5); cannot login as mike OR AS ROOT!! (unable to authenticate)
use live cd, reset inittab to start at level 3
reboot, get user prompt on terminal at level 3
enter mike and password, system wait a minute or more, returns to login prompt (obviously timing out --- dbus problem???)
enter root and password, get in, issue startx
open terminal window, and issue "su mike" command, ten minutes later, finally get terminal with mike as user.
Use ctrl-alt-F2 to get a terminal, type mike, and password, no joy; login as root and type "su mike". Go back to Gnome screen at F7, so I can continue to type this , and check back at F2 periodically to see if "su mike" ever takes. After three minutes, still no joy. After five minutes, it worked. whoami shows "mike"

The driver has crashed X and before I had a chance to find RPMfusion instructions on dealing with initrd, I removed the package just to keep X running.Uninstalling the package does not restore kernel and Xorg operation. I am still in VESA mode.Although they claim they don't put stuff in non-standard places and use RPM, still there is something left over, as nuoveau driver no longer loads.Now that system configuration is all over the place, it is not clear what they actually changed or replaced.

I like SuSE, I even got certified as admin of it but i'm going crazy every time when i want to watch some video. It's more easy to install and maintain some services then make suse play video. I'm going crazy when every player says to me that it doesn't contain any codecs. I heard i'ts all about licensing.. So, why doesn't Ubuntu havn't any problem to play my mp4 and other video formats just from the box?My case is regular.. No way to play mp4 in totem,banshee,xine no h264 decoder.

Although I managed fairly quickly to get 3D enabled on the GF 7600GS of my desktop, it took me longer to get 3D up on the GF 9650M GT of my Asus laptop M70Vn. Although I made extensive use of the numerous procedures outlined here, none of them worked and booting my laptop always ended up with me facing a jet-black screen and a completely inexpressive blinking white cursor. My solution was simple: I did not blacklist Nouveau and problems mysteriously disappeared.

I tried installing alongside windows 7 from a bootable Ubuntu 10.04 CD, the CD started loading the installation files but then I found the GUI completely screwed up and I couldn't see what was going on and the buttons where hidden, it was plain nasty... so what's up with that? I remember installing Ubuntu 9.x and it worked just fine about 7 months ago on the same computer

Let me start by saying its a school assignment, and therefore not a real world situation. Nevertheless, I would appreciate any help I can get.The company ProvidIT has contacted us, their website has been hacked. Instead of their normal website, it shows Buy creditcard details online, click here (cc4u.jpg). A classical defacement.The following offenses also might have been committed. So its our job to find evidence for those offences.(I had to translate the Dutch law articles, so they might not be 100% acurate legally speaking, but you get the idea)
- Unlawfully accessing automated systems
- Copy or tap (eavesdrop) data after hacking
- Unlawfully access or use system resources of a 3rd party computer

I have a 6yo laptop...z60m. Solid little thing that I knocked around so much the hinge broke. My dad jerryrigged it so it can stay open.
So now I use it as a glorified DVD player. Then, around February the hard drive died. I put it in fresh, loaded a couple of regular games and the DVD modifications to play DVD's. So, besides the basic upgrade to 9.1 not much as been done.
Well, last week my panel disappeared. I procrastinated and last night I got on the computer. I did F2 and "xfce-panel" and my panel reappeared exactly how I'd last tweaked it.
With on exception. This blue globe, "Akonadi" had mysteriously appeared.
Thing is that I haven't installed or updated anything for 8 months...why? becuase I haven't had this thing connected to the Internet. The wireless tower has been on. (my bad) but all of the signigals in my neck of the wood are encripted so I just let it be.
I don't know where this program came from. Is it loaded in xubuntu? Why would it show up? And furthermore if there was someone with malicious intent (unfortunatly I do have to take that into consideration) have put this on for data collection?

Awoke to millions of failed SSH attempts into my public server. Behind a firewall which forwards only SSH and HTTP. Local iptables deny everything except SSH and HTTP. Exact same symptoms and results as Chris over at his site: here.I just want to know how they managed to execute a script, or make changes etc? Here's some info:According to cat /var/log/secure | grep "Accepted" no one besides myself gained entry via SSH.The FTP account (500:48 (Purposely in apache group)) is chrooted to a 775 directory and vsftpd does not accept anonymous entry. vsftpd and xferlog's are empty?

After start up I get a blank screen that says "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS name-desktop tty1"
"name-desktop login:"
I type my log in and password and it gives me the last time I logged in and says
"Linux name-desktop 2.6.32-21 -generic #32-Ubuntu SMP (a date and time) x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" "Welcome to Ubuntu!"
Then it says "name@name-desktop:~$"
It doesn't load beyond this point.

I've got a netbook which dual boots ubuntu and windows xp using grub legacy. Now I'd like to overwrite my current ubuntu 10.04 installation with a brand new 11.04. Grub is my main preoccupation: I'm worried installing 11.04 over the old installation may cause quite a mess due to the two grubs not going along well. Is it safe* to overwrite the older ubuntu installation with the new using the "traditional" bootable USB method?
*safety includes windows accessibility and data preservation.
I don't really understand how does grub work.

I had a serious breach of the cellular segment of my communications network this week. All I can say is nobody got hurt. The attackers also knew where to find me via email. I'm concerned that perhaps they've penetrated this aspect of my system as well, although they seemed pretty specifically focused on the phone. There have been no changes on anything on my computer, and of course, I went ahead and changed all the passwords. How can I verify or at least look into the possibility of having been hacked as well.

my computer has been surely hacked for at least more than two months; my private information are being hacked and spread around! I initally used Windows Vista and I had the firewall off and no antivirus software. When I realized that my OS had been hacked, I began turning my firewall on and installing security softwares, but nothing stopped the hack.
Yesterday, I erased all my partitions and installed Ubuntu 10.10. I installed rkhunter and a firewall. I changed my static IP adress, at least for the sake of knowledge, to another one, then I got disconnected since my router only allows my old IP.
When I'm about to write my admin password, I disconnect from the network. I've scanned my system using rkhunter, and the result is a list of 30 suspicious files!
Can I adjust my router in a way that it can allow any IP adress? If yes, can I have a non-static IP adress? How to prevent the hacking in the first place? However, I believe, I don't know yet, that my Ubuntu has also been hacked...
If I can't get rid of the hacker(s), then I should permanently disconnect from internet and find another way to receive information anonymously through the internet.

I always use professional services to secure my servers. Everything was fine for years but a week ago my server got hacked.I don't know how the hacker got my username/password - it was not something like admin, password.9 months ago my PC was infected with some virus which connected to the FTP server by using password which was saved in CuteFTP and infected all index files with some javascript. Then I changed the user/FTP password and didn't save it anymore in Cute FTP. Of course, I checked all the folders and re-uploaded all infected files. Is it possible that this virus uploaded some hidden file which was able to get the new password for this account?
The server was hacked from so called Tor IP address. I am tiref of worrying about server security and now have an idea to get a static IP address from my ISP and to allow logins only from this IP address. What do you think about it? This idea looks good for me but are there any risks to lose access to the server. Can ISP provider change the static IP address for some reason?

I have corrupted my /usr/ partition. I thought I recovered my server thingies okay. The problem is with gnome desktop. It won't show the login screen and furthermore there's a lot of error in ldconfig messages -- because of the corrupted /usr/ partition.I started picking out these erring files -- using aptitude purge and the rm command if it cannot be purged...That's how I tried to clean my /usr/ corrupted partition.How do I know I managed to cleanly removed all traces of the desktop gnome? -- also how could I install the desktop again.

When Ubuntu Software Centre removes software, it leaves files behind in File System which is owned by Root preventing me from deleting them.
1. Could this be why Update Manager is insisting that I install updates for software that I have removed and do not use?
2. There is one application I would like to re-install because it asked me technical questions before I installed it. I think I gave the wrong answer and when I re-installed it, it didn't ask the question again. It seems likely that there is a file somewhere that Ubuntu Software Centre didn't remove, and I could do with deleting but is owned by Root. How do I do this?
3. Should I have posted this query under 'Absolute Beginner Talk?'. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

I am installing Ubuntu for the first time as a result of my Programming teacher starting me on a webserver project that will not work on windows. I dug up an older Dell, about 5 years old, and I keep getting install errors Just under halfway through. The OS will completely freeze for a few minutes then say 'errno 5'.

I recently Installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Compaq evo n800c
CPU-Pentium 4
RAM-1GB
HDD-60GB (yeah i know, it's old)
GPU-ATi Radeon Mobility 7500
Installation went fine but when I boot in Ubuntu I get a MS-DOS like workspace that asks for my login and password. When I give it my credentials,it just says welcome in text and thats it. Now if I go into recovery mode and choose any of the options [normal boot/failsafe-graphics boot] the screen goes completely white. I spent hours searching Google for a solution but nothing worked. what is the problem and also what will be the solution for it.
