Fedora Networking :: After 'yum Update'ing Iwconfig Key Doesn't Work - Error Indicating 'invalid Argument'
Apr 4, 2011
I updated my system from FC13 2.6.34.7-66 to 2.6.34.8-68 for both the kernel and the kmod-wl RPM's. After doing so, iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890 no longer works. I get an error indicating 'invalid argument'. If I reboot using the previous kernel/wl.ko module, it works The size of the wl.ko module increased in size by almost 30%. Did I somehow get the wrong RPM?
I am trying to connect to a wireless network. I got a problem with network manager. So I try to connect manually
I found wireless network around by using "iwlist scan" command.
I want to connect to a network with ESSID "MCC(Mandalay)" and Key "mdymcctraining"
Here is my problem The output of "iwconfig" command is
Code:
What does it mean "invalid argument"? It means that my wireless pre-sharedkey is not correct? I am sure the key is valid. It is used by any others with window 7.
I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and trying to pull over some files via the GUI from a XP box over locally. I'm getting this error:"error while copying file into /volcano/tunes invalid argument" (under show more details)If I just copy over a mp3 file it works fine but the when I copy the entire directory I get this error.
I am trying to do some bandwidth management testing, so I have developed a small script for doing so. When I try to run it it gives the error <error> RTNETLINK answers: invalid argument</error>. I have searched the net, and so far they say it has to do something with the kernel support.
the script: <code> tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 2mbit ceil 2mbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 600kbit ceil 2mbit prio 2 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 1400kbit ceil 2mbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:20 classid 20:100 htb rate 700kbit ceil 2mbit prio 0 #when running this command it gives the error tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:20 classid 20:200 htb rate 700kbit ceil 2mbit pro 1 </code>
I am running this script on a virtual machine that has ubuntu 9.04 installed.
Today i upgraded my system and started getting error when i update, install or remove a package. The error isn't restricted only to one repository so i thing something is wrong with my system.
I am running Red Hat with 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5PAE kernel version. I am trying to run encryptfs to encrypt a partition on my hard drive. One of the kernel modules necessary is the md5.ko. I noticed it wasn't loaded in when doing an lsmod. I tried running modprobe md5 and it fails to load:
i downloaded baldurs gate II shadows of amn iso's, because i lost one of the CD's to the box, but anyways, I went to mount the third .ISO for installation, and BAM! my computer froze, so i waited five minutes, came back, and still frozen. shut it down for 20 minutes, pulled it back up, and it's got this error as follows; "Mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/65b0a6a-a366-435a-a086-58428cfe2bd1 on /root Failed: invalid argument
I've just moved a server across to CentOS 5.5 64-bit and I have been trying to get some custom software running on it. However I'm getting an unusual error during run time: sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument I've had this software working on a old versions of Gentoo (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) and Fedora. And the latest version of Ubuntu server 10.04.1. (All 64 bit). It looks remarkable similar to: Core test failed on s390x RHEL6 If v7 bug fix and enhancement update has been incorporated into CentOS 5.5 64 bit yet? Or how I might find out.
i am trying to update my system from a new clean install that i made i am running the update from yast and i am getting the listed message:
Code: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Basenames: unexpected file type or format error: cannot open Basenames index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
I have an old PC with two hard drives (40 and 60Gb) and it uses dual IGhz pIII processors. It shares screen,mouse and keyboard with another PC.Both into Netgear modem. It ran ubuntu 8.04 and XP Pro on the drives above with no problems. Then I decided to try Mint 11 (34bit CD) - result after Grub blank screen other than flashing cursor at top left.No input from keyboard. Tried Mint KDE 10 (34bit DVD) same result. Tried Kubuntu 10 (CD) same result. Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 no problem. Upgraded via download from 8.04 to 10LTS hoping that this would somehow prevent the problem and have screen which says:-

Then it goes into Busybox and ends with "initramfs". I have tried altering the boot device in BIOS from HDD0 through 3 with the same result other than more bad language!
I loaded Avast anti virus into Ubuntu 10.10 this morning. It seemed to go okay and uploaded the updates. But then it stopped. Now when I try to start it I get the following error message. 'An error occurred in avast! engine: Invalid argument'
I am compiling the code has hash_map getting following error

I want to get my PS3 Eyetoy working as a webcam on my Ubuntu box for use with Skype etc. When plugged in, the camera portion works fine and is recognised immediately. However, I am unable to get the microphone working. It appears to be recognised, but there isn't anything captured from it.
I have removed PulseAudio as it was interfering with my quest to get 5.1 working over HDMI passthrough in XBMC.
I did have it working briefly, but I must have changed something, and now I cannot get it to work for love, nor money!
This is what my system finds:
Code: $ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 1: CameraB409241 [USB Camera-B4.09.24.1], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I have tried alsamixer -c 1, but that gives me the following error:
I'm having trouble getting subversion working on Centos 4.7. When I try to create a repository using:
Code: svnadmin create /path/to/repo I get: Code:
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem repo/db: Invalid argument svn: bdb: Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE environments
I've searched the Net, with little luck. Threads seem to suggest that Centos has this flag compiled into the Berkeley DB RPM by default; whereas SVN doesn't want it. Someone, somewhere, must have got this to work and I'm sure it's something really simple I'm doing wrong.
I'm having some difficulities with truecrypt and cannot figure out what's wrong since this is my first attempt to create hidden encrypted partition. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 64b with latest 6.3a truecrypt. After using truecrypt gui (just command truecrypt) I've tried: create volume-->create volumne within a partition/drive-->hidden trucrypt volume --> select some /dev/sdX by my choice --> select aes & sha512 --> password --> and format it.
when formating finished message "wrong ss, swith or wrong superblock of /dev/loop0" appeared. I've got no idea what could I do with it neither know whats program trying to do! Ok formating's done, then if you're trying to mount that partition then I would expect prompt for password, but that did not happen ...
EDIT: sudo mount /dev/loop0 /media/tmp/ also complaint about wrong superblock, but that does not ring any bell since i've got no idea what /dev/loop0 is or is for...
I'm trying to mount my new Western Digital Elements 2tb hard drive, but every time I try to plug it into the computer I get this error message:
Quote:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (3907027119): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
[code].....
But when I tried opening the hard drive from nautilus I still got the same error message as above (no other volumes was connected at the time). I've also tried opening and watching it in GParted, and I can see it there as a volume that's not allocated. When I tried to allocate the hard it I got the message that it had no partition table. And that I cold make one. I tried and Ubuntu suggested to make a MS-DOS partition table for it. But there I got a little scared as I've not done this before. The external hard drive is brand new and was brought today. And I don't have the possibility to test it with Windows or Mac as I'm using Linux only on my machines.
I'm running Kubuntu Karmic on my Dell Inspiron laptop - about 200 bug fixes behind because my only available internet is a cellular connection on a crappy wi-fi router - and last night, I suspended it, but it shut down instead. Not a problem, it does this fairly often, figure the RAM gets jostled or something.
But when I go to boot it up, it gets stuck at the pre-loading screen before getting garbled and dropping to the shell, where it says "mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/[insert hex code here] failed: invalid argument". Of course, mounting /root/sys, /root/dev and /root/proc fails, (directory does not exist) and it gives me the busybox initramfs prompt.
after upgrading ClamAV to version 0.97.1 and run the command Code: clamscan -r -i / --exclude-dir=^/sys --exclude-dir=^/dev --exclude-dir=^/proc | mail -s "clamav scan report XYSERVER" xy@mail.com the following errors appeared:
My Brother DCP385 Printer/Scanner goes alright Printing but will not Scan. I keep getting this message: 'brother3:bus3:dev1': invalid argument. My OS is Fedora 14. Brother seems to only go up to Fedora 12 in their driver page . There is no mention of Fedora 14 .
I have been looking through Brother drivers and can get the drivers for Brother DCP385C printer and scanner but the scanner will not work . It keeps telling me "failed to open device - 'Brother3:bus3;dev1':invalid argument" . I have looked into the Brother site but it does not tell me what to do for Fedora 14 . It only goes up to Fedora 12.
I tried using a command likecp `ls ~/temp/*.xyz | head -1` ./But that does not work. If I echo the value of command inside back ticks and put it manually in cp command it works.
I did the online upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, using 64 bit. I was forced to as the 2 solutions to my incedibly slow internet lookups both required new package installs, both of which failed, so hoped it was sorted out in 10.04 TLS.
It all went to plan until it tried to reboot. I get this:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/1e4e276c-8741-42e7-b52e-05c195790d28 on /root failed: invalid argument mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory

I don't have RAID at all a single Samsung 200GB SATA drive as the boot drive. Can someone tell me where to start looking? Also how can a TLS release screw up so badly on a common Gigabyte motherboard?
