Fedora :: NMB Won't Start At Boot But Does Manually?
Feb 17, 2011
I did a search here & on the web & can't find a "fix" that works. I tried the start order thing & the restart thing & one other I forgot, but nothing works.Funny the RESTART one didn't work as I CAN manually start it OK, unless I didn't put the command in the right spot.I DID notice that there are a few BUGS reported on this but they all go back far enough that I'd think they would be fixed by now.I don't have to manually start this thing every time I want to use it?
I just moved my / from sda1 to an ide drive, hde1. i dont see how this could have caused any of these issues, but it did.
First my network card failed to start. i added a line in my rc.local file (where i put all of my additional programs, etc i want to start):/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
The above now starts my network card with my static ip configured. dhcpcd also worked but i wanted this static.
Now samba will not start. i have the following line in my rc.local: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
This used to work just fine. at first i thought that samba may be trying to start before my network card gets an ip, but the line is *after* the network startup line. just to make sure, i made an additional script called startsamba which contained a sleep 60 followed by samba start, to delay the startup of samba even further.
The message samba reports is very vague, something like failed - core dumped. most of the core dump log is garbage characters, but here is the beginning which seems like it might contain some info:
Code:
ERROR: Can't log to stdout (-S) unless daemon is in foreground (-F) or interactive (-i) after the system starts, i can drop to a console and type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start" and the service starts just fine. i've also tried starting samba manually with "smbd -d" which also produces the core dump when started from rc.local, but not when started from a console after startup.
I have the Samba server & users configured, I can access between Linux/Windows shares and both SMB & NMB services are set to be enabled at boot.Everything working.But when I restart the computer, I notice in services configuration that "This service is dead." for NMB. Therefore I have to enable it manually upon boot so that it works.I'm using Fedora 10, fresh installed and updated. I've noticed through search that others have had this issue as well throughout other versions of Fedora, yet I have not found a conclusive solution to this.
When I first installed Lynx it would boot fine but as the first kernel updates came in it began to get really dodgy. Some days a certain kernel would boot up fine whereas the other would boot without X (i have dual boot with XP and so the kernel options come up on GRUB)Just today I updated the NVIDIA drivers and now neither boots fine, I looked around and I found that after logging in running "startx" in the CLI, which is displayed instead, i get my normal desktop back again.
I have setup the Red Hat system and installed MySQL through the Add / Remove Program. I have RHEL 5.4.
When MySQL is being started manually it is being started as root. However, when MySQL is being started using the services command it is started as the user MySQL and it doesn't work.
How can I start MySQL service as root? Or is there another way to fix that issue.
Let me know if you need more information (giving details on how to get it would be nice too).
Long-time linux user, new to Ubuntu (mainly a gentoo user). I need to get tor and privoxy up and running for a less computer-capable user. I installed Tor and Privoxy, configured them (apparently correctly) and they both appear to work just fine when I start them manually from their init scripts:
However, I cannot seem to get privoxy to start up properly when the machine boots. Tor starts up and waits patiently, but privoxy is dying or getting killed for some reason I can't understand, and on Ubuntu, have no idea how to diagnose. There's no privoxy process after booting, and the init.d script reports status: not running. I have the startup scripts for both Tor and Privoxy linked to in all the relevant runlevels. I played with the order thinking it might be a dependency thing. Hell, I even put a line in rc.local to try and force it to go. But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the privoxy service to start for me any way but by manually typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start' in a terminal, after logging in.
1. Help me get privoxy to auto-start during init
2. OR Help me figure out how to figure out how to get privoxy to auto-start during init. On Gentoo, all of the init scripts are listed on the screen during init as they run, and you can even run through them interactively by pressing I during startup. I have no idea how to do this on Ubuntu. I modified the kernel line to remove the splash screen, but the information Ubuntu puts on the screen during init is quite haphazard. How do I figure out what's going wrong with the privoxy init script?
I have Thunderbird setup with the minimize to tray add on. I have it setup to start on boot but I would like it to start and then minimize to the system tray without me having to manually minimize it. I just can't figure it out. I have mounted a windows share with smbfs and it is in the fstab file but when the computer boots I have to type in terminal
[code]...
then terminal asks me for root password and then another box comes up after that that just says password. In the second password box it doesnt matter what you type in it will still mount. Even leaving it blank mounts. I read in some other threads about editing rc.local and also visudo. Neither one of those fixed it. I also made a script to run the above command and then added it to system>preferences>startup applications. That didn't work either.
I've been playing around with various distributions including Arch Linux, openSuse, and Ubuntu with it's derivatives. So far, I feel that Ubuntu flows the best out of them all, offering the best mix of user-friendliness, eye-candy, and performance. HOWEVER, I really like doing things from the ground up and like having complete control over what I am using/spending resources on. OpenSuse was very attractive to me because of it's [URL]... which allows you to start with a basic system and add, manually, each and every package you want so you get exactly what you want. Does Ubuntu offer any system like this? Or, alternately, is there a "barebone" download in which you get basically a command line with networking and can apt-get all of the packages you want?
I'm trying to figure out how to operate a rather large Java program, 'prog'. If I go to its /bin/ dir and configure its setenv.sh and prog.sh to use local directories and my current user account. Then I try to run it via "./prog.sh start". Here are all the relevant bits of prog.sh:
[code]...
When I actually do ./prog.sh start, it starts. But I can't find it at all on the process list. Nor can I kill it manually, using the same command the shell script uses. But I can tell it's running, because if I do ./prog.sh stop, it stops (and some temporary files elsewhere clean themselves out).
[code]...
the process is running yet not in any way listed by the system. I can't find it in ps or /proc/, nor can I kill it. But the shell script can still stop it properly. So my question is, how can something like this happen? Is the process supremely hidden, actually unlisted, or am I just missing it in some fashion? I'm trying to figure out what makes this program tick.
i had ubuntu 9.04 on my netbook, and i tossed windows XP on an empty partition, and now i cant quite figure out what to add to the boot.ini to give me the option to boot from the the ubuntu partition.
how to dual boot os manually. i want to install backtrack 4 and ubutnu side by side. and i want to konw how to do it manually without destroying my data if possible !?
Ubuntu 10.04. Each time I boot or reboot,I have to manually force a DHCP request (dhclient). It always gets an IP without problems at that point, but not sure why it isn't grabbing one automatically. I also noticed right when I hit the desktop, it usually shows the Ethernet is disconnected, but then appears to connect each time without problems as well.It's not annoying enough to start ripping the guts out.
I downloaded fedora from the site, burned the iso it starts up, the loading fedora logo appears and after that I get a strange grey and black screen and no login screen.
I have win 7 running on this laptop 2gb ram, 1,86ghz... 256 graphic card.
I am running it on a Dell PowerEdge 300 and am having all kinds of problems. First problem was that the second NIC will not start at boot. I have to manually start it every time I re-boot.
Ok, so I set up SSH and no mater what I do, it too will not start at boot time. Same with Apache and vnc.
So I use it as a development platform with eclipse. I have my Laptop running 14 32 bit and it was a dream. This eclipse install was a pain from the get go. Now I cannot get the debugger to consistently run no mater what I do. It will run for a bit then the next time I try it will not start. Very strange.
PHP is also a problem. None of the mysql functions work. Yes I loaded the mysql libs but still no luck.
Think I;ll go back to the 32bit 14 and stick with it for a while unless someone has some good suggestions on how to get it running smoothly.
in the direction of a HOWTO (cant find one via Search or Google)hat tells me how to install dm_mirror to enable a boot of an 11.3 system that uses LVM for root and swap? I really would likecommands rather than using the GUI as it will help me understand what is going on in the background
I am running Ubuntu 9.10, and every time the computer starts, cups does not appear to be running. I have to run the following from the command line:
Code: sudo /etc/init.d/cups start After cups is started, printing works fine. Does anyone know how I can get cups to start on it's own when the computer boots?
have search the web for answer and there are some suggestion. tried those suggestion but was not successful.appreciate if any one can help to resolve this? I'm running fedora 11 and using the NXserver for remote access
I have just bought a new Acer 23" 1920x1080 flatscreen. I used to have an old fashioned 1280x1024 flatscreen.Now the problem is, every single time when I log on Ubuntu resets my screen res. to 1280x1024. So every time I have to use the Nvidia Settings to set my screen res to 1920x1080 and every time I have to place my panel widgets back in the right place and order, because of that, which is quite annoying.GDM has no problems though, it always displays in the right resolution.I use a Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card and the nvidia-current driver on Ubuntu 10.04 i386. I cannot use the Gnome monitors manager to set my resolution. Every time it sends me to Nvidia Settings.This is my Xorg.conf;
Code: # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Fri Apr 9 10:35:18 UTC 2010
i just installed nvidia driver 96 manually and after reboot pc wont boot, nothing no output , no beep even if removing ram but fans still work and lights too, did a cmos reset but still got the same result,
I'm a newbie on Linux and trying to find my feet so please be kind.I have installed vmware on my XP laptop and have installed fedora core 9. Network setting on the VMware is set to bridged. My interface eth0 which is using the wireless does not start on boot. I have to run ifup ifcfg-eth0.The file ifcfg-eth0 had onboot=yes and NM=no, so i changed it so that the NM=yes.However this does not resolve the problem at all. I have put the file back to its original configuration and I have disabled network manager and have had no luck
Hardware: Toshiba NB200 with Atom 280 & 2GB, 160 GB HD Everything works great except the boot time. My default boot is F11 & when the system starts in "yuk" Windows it only takes a few seconds! but when I start in F11 it takes 15 - 20 minutes for it to start. No error messages, nothing in dmesg, standard configuration. The same system with Win XP & F10 worked fine?
This was working and stable on f-10 and f-11. Fresh f-12 install including openvpn, Copied /etc/openvpn/* to new system as root from working f-11 syatem. /etc/init.d/openvpn start (and stop) works as advertised HOWEVER when set to start at boot using chkconfig or Services Configuration program, openvpn does not start. I must manually start it every time. When started, it does work without error messages in the log.
I tried removing the NetworkManager-vpn module with no effect. Thought it could somehow be overriding the auto startup of openvpn at boot.
I just finished installing Fedora 12 on a rack mount server. I was modifying the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file to use a static IP address, but now nothing works. The device does not boot on start up or anything.Currently, ifcfg-eth0 looks like:
Quote:
DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none[code].....
The eth0 device does not start on boot; the server does not get the IP address, is not reachable over the network, and will not connect to the internet....
I'm completely stumped by a problem with httpd in Fedora 13. It fails to start on boot: I can see: Starting htpd: FAILED, in /var/log/boot.log, but I can't find anything else in messages, audit.log or anywhere else that gives me any clue why. The weird thing is that running: run_init service httpd start after boot _works_ and the server runs fine, but even when it's running OK, service httpd status reports httpd dead but subsys locked
I'm guessing that the problem somehow relates to selinux, but I can't find anything in the audit logs that gives me a clue. How to turn on more logging so that I can get closer to the problem. I finally discovered the cause. This system was originally configured to use network services directly, without NetworkManager. It had been upgraded a number of times since installation. It seems that over time, if you have turned off NetworkManager, the defaults have changed. Used to be that the network services was 'enabled' by default (hence started at run time). Now, the default is 'disabled'. Httpd couldn't start because there was no network to start on. Enabling network services at boot time fixed this. I guess I should have noticed this. But one might think that httpd failing to start because of the lack of a network might at least give a warning message in the logs about the reason.
I performed the first update in 4 months to my Fedora 12 Constantine. I also removed a 'dial-up' package (figured i didnt need it) and the KDE package after the update. Firefox was not getting a connection to the internet at this point. The network view showed the ethernet as inactive. Everything besides Firefox appears to work fine.
I restart machine.
It boots until right after the fedora logo fills up. At this point my dual monitors go to sleep. No response from anything. When I start in interactive mode I hit y for everything. Everything works great until libvirtd, libvirt-guest, and local. After y on all three nothing happens. I can type on the screen but no response. It just sits there. I can boot into text mode and do whatever I want. What can I do? What other information do I need to move forward?
I have looked at the Xorg.0.?? i forget what its called. I am not versed in reading the messages in it. Same for the other logs I looked at.
How I troubleshoot Linux problems: Install Linux -> Problem -> Google -> Run Command -> Didn't work? -> Start Over
Whenever I start up my laptop running Fedora 14, I notice that it says that it is failing to connect to my default wireless network since the wireless card is not activated. Since it appears that the wireless card is not activated until the NetworkManager service is started, is there anyway for me to set NetworkManager to start before this check is made? Boot message log is attached. [URL]
