what's happened. I now have to log-in 7 times (at least) before I can finally get in to fedora 11. It only started happening at the week-end after a patch was installed. what's going on?
View 5 RepliesI have just installed Fedora12 x86 64. On booting more often than not it hangs just before completing the login screen.I will try some of the options in the wiki. In the mean time has anyone else experienced this and resolved it.The odd thing is although the keyboard is not on, (num lock light goes out as boot starts and only comes back on if it has fully booted), the mouse will move around the screen but the click has no effect.Note the same behaviour was shown on the x86 64 live cd which I needed to install to enable me to create a bootable usb stick from the x86 64 DVD.

I tested the disc for errors and every time it shows up that around the 70% mark that the DVD has an error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed (after a series of crashes during the install) Fedora 15. I also have Ubuntu Natty installed and use it primarily but I wanted to reach out and try new distros.I've wanted to try Fedora and finally got enough nerve to try. Installing it crashed for no apparent reason several times.ehow it installed and booted right to Fedora.However, when finally figuring out how to run the updates, I began to have the same problem.(Someone elsewhere suggested trying to update through command line--which I did finally though I had a few crashes doing this).
Now I am logging in and then it will just inadvertently crash. I could be in firefox, or using terminal, etc. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to why this is happening and I feel frustrated. I really want to test out Fedora (it looks so nice!) but can't manage to stay afloat more than a few minutes. I might also mention that this does not happen in Ubuntu at all so I can't account for the issues. I have much to learn but I feel a bit intimidated by Fedora because it's so new to me.
I have an urgent major problem. I tried to install F8, F9, F10, F11 and F13 live but all gave the same problem, which is I can't install the OS.the problem is Fedora can't communicate with ATI Radeon HD 5145.....the setup just hangs up some times hangs when it tries to run anaconda....
Now F10 X86_64 was installed normally, but after the first reboot.. it gone crazy...and started to display rubbish...going to init 1 and trying to run the GUI I got error server X.
Also ubuntu didn;t work too

I have bumped into a rather bizarre problem on a redhat system at work:I have mapped 10 LUNS to a server.The server has 2 HBAs, but the luns were mapped only to 1 HBA,and only one HBA is connected with a fibre cable.Every lun has only 1 path,the storage array management software (hitachi storage)confirms this.However, instead of 10 luns, I am seeing 40 luns!

After I accidentally broke my first successful install of 10.10 netbook edition on a flash drive, I have been COMPLETELY unsuccessful in trying to put it back on my flash drive.I have a 4GB PNY flash drive that I have been able to boot from in the pastI want Ubuntu 10.10 installed on it so i can use my own customized OS on school netbooksand i've tried 4 times to get something to boot up, each unsuccessful because it can't seem to read the Casper file.Nothing I use seems to be able to create a working Casper-RW fileI've tried using the Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com as suggested by the Ubuntu download page. It can't seem to figure out how to create a working persistance fileI've tried using the USB startup disk creator from a Ubuntu 9.10 boot disk.That keeps stopping and saying there is some sort of error.I've had a problem with the casper file before, and someone mentioned I should use an ext3 instead.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've never had this happen to me before on any Linux boxes and I'm totally stumped: at random times, seemingly not at all to do with the applications open or number of windows...X crashes. This happened once every 2 weeks or so a couple of months ago...now it seems to happen 2-3 times every 24 hours.
I do not remember installing nvidia drivers. But I may have. How can I check this?
And more importantly, what things can I do to get to the bottom of why this keeps happening? It's just X crashing -- the system is not bricked. I can ssh in from another machine. But X is locked up so tightly even the mouse doesn't move.
I have had lots of problems with dual boot. Hardly never making success with first boot. I have to try 3,4,5 even 6 times until reach the X. Some kernels make it better (hardly never succesful boot with first try). This 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE seems to be one of the worst.
Boot hangs on starting atd. Xorg.conf:
I have to use nvidia proprietary driver. With nv the screen will freezy quite soon.

As this was my first Debian installation with a 500gig drive, I chose to use the defaults. Debian announced that it was going to format the drive as EXT3, and commenced,I waited 3-4 minutes and only saw a very steady on disk active light. I presumed that the format should have ended sooner, and therefore, believing that the installer was in a loop, I rebooted and retried the installation again.
This time I let it run for the full duration, about 6-7 minutes (I also have a terabyte drive), for Debian, and after the longest time, the installer proceeded to the next step. The drive format was not in a loop.With todays large disks costing under $75.00 per terabyte, it makes sense to put a propellor or other indication on the text or graphic screen to show that the installer is really working at formatting. My screen showed an unchanging bargraph pegged at 31%.
I successfully upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04.Logged in a couple of times and now have a blank desktop...No startbar or sidebar. I am able to press "ctrl+alt+del" and then get the shutdown menu but that is it.

I'm using Fedora 12 with Apache 2.2.14, and I was having this error on 2.2.13 as well.
Even when I connect to my server over LAN, Firefox times out occasionally while connecting. I can't figure out what is causing this. The error_log isn't showing anything. I even cleaned the error_log file, so that if something happened, it'd be a little easier to spot. But I'm still getting time outs, and nothing in the error_log.
Here is my httpd.conf [URL]
It's the default Fedora configuration, I've only changed the ServerName if I remember correctly. it's not the Timeout setting, because on LAN it should never time out.
How can I turn off the beep that happens when I backspace too many times in the terminal or other applications?

So, there's a patch, "get rid of duplicate connect." Is this something that will get fixed soon in Fedora, via updates?
I get the newest fedora 13 dvd install & the live cd. Put on the disk and try to install. But the installer hangs on random times, so i cant install the system. Sometimes hangs on the anaconda start, others in the partition tables, others in the language section.
i try to run the live cd and install from there. Ok the first time the cd boot very nice . But when i try to install , the pc hangs again. Other times the boot from live even finish, when the last percents r coming, hangs again.
I all hangs, the dvd drive stop's and never return. So the Fan of cpu start to run very quickly and stay there forever until my patience permits.
So i use the ubuntu installer ( almost 4 years with u fedora, and need ubuntu installer!?shame on u) and search some information about the case. Yes, the last ubuntu boot,install, and run out of the box very quickly!
I see others with Dell & others brands still have problems with hangs and freezing , in boot and installs, so the first thing i search was the kernel parameters and try to use some flags.
I think the source of this kind of problem is the acpi . When i check the flag pci=noacpi or acpi=off , i have see that on the pre-anaconda start, when u choose the english language in text mode, clicking next the installer cant anymore find the media DVD, and the hard disk with the partition table. Sometimes the installer brings me the option to search in the ubuntu partitions, sometimes no.
How to debug and search the source of the problem? Any way? code...
Is there an easy way to determine the concise history of all the times I've run yum to install packages on my machine? I'm migrating to FC15 and I'd like to duplicate the old machine as much as possible on the new machine, and therefore, I'd like to know what I installed on it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm have much computer experience but am new to Ubuntu. I typed in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it tells me it's already installed. Good. So it should work. I type sudo/etc/init.d/gdm start and the screen goes blank for 8 seconds three times in a row and then back to the command line. I have also tried gdm start without the path before and it says GDM already running. Aborting!

This happened a month or two ago soon after an update and them went away. I have unchecked ssh in the firewall settings as it is not needed but this has never been a problem.

Anyone else having issues with the Atheros AR8132 and the atl1c module? I am on the 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686.PAE kernel, tried with a few others but it's flaky no matter which I choose.
Sometimes if I load/unload the atl1c module a few times the link will come up, but it seems the module is not even being loaded at boot and I have to modprobe it just to see the NIC.
Starting File Manager opens up a million and one times in FC12
Is there a way to stop it?
Read an article on Lifehacker about the new Thunderbird 3; decided to install it. I installed just Thunderbird itself first,
Code:
sudo yum -y install thunderbird
but when I try to run it I get this error:
Code:
(thunderbird-bin:17467): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times I've since updated completely (which changed nothing, since I updated right before I installed Thunderbird) and installed thunderbird-lightning and thunderbird-enigmail, as they are both extensions I used in the past, to see if they would pull in any odd dependencies to solve the problem.

I have a problem with keyboard mappings on F13. I have the following in my .xmodmap file that is run from .bash_profile:
[code]...
The problem is that at seemingly random times the roles of the caps lock and control keys (and the other customisations) gets reverted back to normal - which makes for an awful lot of confusion! Running xmodmap again switches them to how I like it, but again after a seemingly random period it resets itself. This occurs under KDE and Gnome in F13, but did not occur in F12. Using the KDE keyboard settings dialog to switch caps lock and control does the exhibits the same behaviour.
I have used Ubuntu since 7-4; I now have 10.4. However, in the last week I have been taken to the login screen three times. This could be potentially calamitous. Ctrl+Alt +Backspace have by default been disable since 9-4. There is no way I am pressing atl+Prtscr +K. I wonder if there is a new zap command in 10.4, and if so, how to disable it. I have never found the need to go back back to the login window. I am generally using the command line when doing this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes the latest Linux kernel update for Ubuntu (2.6.35-24) contain the infamous "10 times faster" patch?
This is the patch I'm referring to: [URL]
I know in the article it says we have to wait until 2.6.38, but since I'm very unfamiliar with Linux kernel development, I just thought I'd ask.
If not, should I just go about updating myself? Or is it better to be safe and stick with the kernel version in the Ubuntu repositories?
System: F15-64bit, Intel Core i7 on Asus P6T mobo. I've upgraded to 2.6.40, and I'm regretting it!While 2.6.38 still works fine (apart from the usual random panics), 2.6.40 gives errors on boot, and reliably panics soon after login. Early in the boot I get the message "IOMMU: mapping reserved region failed" 8 times. Then boot appears to proceed as normal, at least once the nvidia blob is removed in favour of Nouveau (otherwise, forget it...).
After graphical login, the system freezes within a couple of minutes.After a text login, the system freezes within seconds with a panic, starting "BUG: Scheduling while atomic: swapper". A forum search for the IOMMU message leads to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Commo...IOMMU_handling but this talks about old 32-bit releases without BIOS virtualization support.

What I mean by this are two things:
1. When the computer boots and asks me to pick Linux or another operating system, how do I change the time down, since I don't really need 2 minutes to choose the only operating system I have...
2. When the computer shuts down, and gives me 30 seconds to cancel or not (this is with a GUI), how do I reduce that time to 0?
