Fedora :: Polipo Hangs System

Jun 11, 2010

Problem with FC13 on a 64 bit box...tried to get Tor and Polipo going and at boot, the system hangs as soon as Polipo starts up. I need to adjust or delete the Polipo service but can't seem to get to any kind of a terminal either...it used to be just hit ctl-alt-and and F key and it dropped to a term. Now that's not happening. Can I do that? And...alternatively, can I force a skip of the Polipo service as it's booting?

Fedora :: Tor And Polipo - Polipo Doesn't Work

Jun 3, 2010

I am new to Fedora, not to RPM based distros (though it has been awhile) and I am not new to Linux. I like what I am seeing with Fedora, might be staying with it.

I am using Fedora 13.

I have Tor and Polipo installed. But for some reason Polipo doesn't want to work.

I did this -

Quote:

I added the config file[url] as it said in the /etc/polipo/ directory.

But on restart I get this error -

Quote:

Stopping it failed. Not sure if it is just not starting maybe? I also did this to the -

Quote:

If your SELinux config is not allowing tor or privoxy to run correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory /etc/selinux/targeted. Edit this file in your favorite text editor and insert "allow_ypbind=1". Restart your machine for this change to take effect.

I have tor button installed and checked Firefox Network Proxy settings when tor is running, it is set up fine and forwarding to port 8118 as it should.

I haven't configured the firewall yet in Fedora 13 yet.

What am I missing?

This is the error I am getting in Firefox with tor running

Aug 28, 2010

When I was using polipo on Ubuntu, it automatically start at system boot.

What should I do to make it start at boot automatically?

Fedora :: System Hangs At Startup

Dec 23, 2009

I booted up the computer (Fedora 11) and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited for quite sometime without any change to the system I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.

When the sytem reboots and I press alt+ctrl+2 i see messages like below on the black screen:Unknown username "root" in message bus configuration file.Could not get password database....Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"..Please help me get the system up. I saved some data and did not take a backup. Is there's a way I can restore my system to a previous date? Or backup my data somehow?

Fedora :: System Hangs On Start Up / What To Fix It?

Nov 20, 2010

I don't know what I did, but for some reason my fedora system hangs on the OS startup when I use my default kernel. I can still use my other kernel to startup the system though, so it's more of an inconvenience really, but any help fixing it would be appreciated.

The default kernel is Fedora (2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686) when I start up using this kernel the system hangs(I think I using the right term here, but not sure) after these messages code...

Fedora Hardware :: Frequently The System Hangs Usually One App

Feb 18, 2010

I am running FC12 64bit. Frequently the system hangs usually one app - Thunderbird. If I have Firefox up also, it seems to run fine. The light indicating disk access is on almost constantly. Is there a way to find out what process is accessing which disk? I have 4 hds installed - 2 IDE and 2 SATA. I am having a similar problem trying to do a reboot - it does not reboot within 15 minutes. I need to hit the reset button.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Firefox Hangs System

Jul 20, 2010

everything else seems well with my FC13-x86-64 except firefox (3.6.4 and earlier versions too) VERY frequently hangs the whole system. only the mouse still working, keyboard not responding to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-function or any other key and even num-lock won't turn the led on. system is still remotely accessible through ssh so I can issue a reboot. same thing may have occurred with thunderbird but only once or twice and probably firefox was also running then. no problems so far with google chrome (but I have no flash plugin for that). FC5-x86-32 on my old PC has never had any of these problems.

Fedora Installation :: F15 Upgrade From DVD - System Hangs

May 26, 2011

I upgraded F14 to F15 using installation DVD. I have been upgrading since F11 with no problems. Upgrade went well, no issue. After the reboot, the system hangs after the last line systemd.

These are last lines from boot.log:
Starting LSB: start and stop xinetd...
Started LSB: Mount and unmount network filesystems..
Starting Permit User Sessions...
Starting xinetd: Started Permit User Sessions.
Starting Display Manager...
Started Display Manager. [OK]
Started LSB: start and stop xinetd.

Right now I am on system rescue CD, can mount partitions and read logs. I would like to avoid fresh installation if possible.

Fedora :: Booting F15 (64) Install DVD - System Hangs

Jun 3, 2011

As most of us know when you start the machine with the Install Disc in the drive you get a menu that reads:

Welcome To Fedora 15!
Install a new system or upgrade an existing system
Install system with basic video driver
Rescue installed system
Boot from local drive
Memory test

But when you try to boot the install DVD on and EFI based Mac...you only get
Booting Fedora 15 in 3...2...1 ...and then the system hangs.

If any users are having trouble with Fedora Install Media...you can usually use the Install Media from a previous release! In this case, I used the Fedora 14 (64-Bit) disc to install Fedora 15 by simply replacing the 'F14' with a 'F15' in the URLs of the Install and Update repository dialog boxes.

Fedora Installation :: System Hangs On M3A78-T Motherboard?

Mar 1, 2009

I got an Asus M3A78-T motherboard last year, along with a Phenom 9650 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I originally tried to install Sabayon, but it would occasionally hang while running. I decided to give Fedora another try (wasn't happy with FC4 a few years back) at the constant chiding of my friend.

My first try was with the x86_64 Fedora 10 ISO, using an IDE hard drive and CDROM. It would hang a little bit into something like 'copying system files, at the same place every time. Thinking it was a bad burn, bad iso, or something (checksum and image verification passed) I went ahead and got the DVD ISO. The DVD would always hang a little bit into "Formatting file system." At this point, I have tried EVERY other combination of hardware - swapped out ram, CPU, PS, bought SATA hard drive and DVDROm drive, unplugged the mouse, and even the case pigtails for USB and Firewire. It always hangs in the same place. Somewhere along the process, I took the motherboard back and exchanged it for a new one. Still fails, and in exactly the same place.

The system hang is a hard lockup. Mouse freezes, no keyboard activity (even LED status changes.) The drive activity LED will go out and the progress bar stops advancing.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else with this problem - I thought this board was a bit more prevalent, but I'm guessing not! What's my next step? I would create a bug report, but I don't know what subsystem is causing the hang. I suspect SATA drivers, but I'm not sure how to test that.

And one other clue - I get a scrambled video screen before it comes up to the first X install screen:

It only lasts for 5 seconds or so, then comes up okay.

Fedora :: System Hangs Due To Kernel Error On Shutdown

Feb 20, 2010

I have just made a clean installation of FC12. The only change I have made for now is to disable the NetworkManager and set a static ip address. My problem is that when I click "shutdown" it doesn't complete the shutdown and hangs due to some kind of kernel error. Then I have to use the power-switch to shut it down. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often (every 3rd shutdown or so).

I get this error-messages on the screen:
Code:
Unmounting file systems:[OK]
Halting system...
--------[ cut here ]-----------
kernel BUG at kernel/time/clockevents.c:262!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

Fedora :: FC13 Firefox Hangs System On Downloads?

Jun 2, 2010

Just upgraded from FC11 to 13 a few days ago and came across a wierd problem with firefox. When downloading files thru firefox, Firefox starts consuming more and more memory/cpu cycles until the system hangs. This only happens when downloading thru firefox. Doesnt take too long either. Otherwise everything else works fine.

Fedora :: Kernel Update Hangs System During Boot / Solve It?

Sep 4, 2010

I have a problem with the kernel update to 2.6.34.6. Up until 2.6.33.x my system boots fine, but with this update the boot stops at the moment that the mouse cursor should become visible. To resolve the problem, I've gone back to 2.6.33.x and removed the 2.6.34 kernel but I wonder what happens with the next kernel update.
Anyone else having this problem?

Fedora Installation :: Upgraded To FC11 From FC10 / System Freezes / Hangs

Jun 24, 2009

I upgraded from FC10 to FC11 yesterday.I had no problems using FC11 after I looked into the bootloader (not intuitive - Ha!).Tried to boot up this morning; and things seemed to work well until I tried to call up Firefox (added a few themes yesterday).The window pops open; but the computer freezes on the spot with an alarm (generic "beep", w/o the finishing "p").Tried it with Epiphany; and I get the same results with the exception of actually getting to the Home Page.Yum works for the most part - I reinstalled Firefox (no effect); but couldn't reinstall epiphany (keeps saying "there is no such package - did you mean 'epiphany'". No typos on my part - go figure). Doing Software/Package Updates (via System Menu) freezes the box as well.Did it with the system monitor on. It doesn't appear to be related to CPU Usage.

Had a FC10 liveUSB and used it for awhile (e.g. to check out the forums). After giving my ISP some grief about downloading speed, immediately received a note from their Abuse Department, saying that my machine had been infected with a virus and had been sending spam emails (post upgrade to FC11).

Fedora :: System Hangs On Reboot After Installing Kmod-nvidia In F12 / Sort It?

Mar 31, 2010

Having a problem with my system hanging after updating Fedora 12. Here are my system specs:

Gigabyte MA770-UD3 motherboard
AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core
6 gig Corsair DDR 800
1 x 160 gig SATA (OS)
1 x 500 gig SATA (data)

I have my system configured for dual boot with Windows 7. After installing F12, I can reboot with no problem. However, after I install the kmod-nvidia drivers, my system hangs on reboot. If I press any key on the keyboard, it will start to load, the freeze until I press a key again. I have tried both Fedora 12 x64 and i386 with the same results. Here are the steps that I took to install the kmod-nvidia drivers code...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

OpenSUSE Network :: Use Tor (0.2.1.26-2) With Polipo (1.0.4.1)

Nov 9, 2010

openSUSE 11.3 on T42 trying to use Tor (0.2.1.26-2) with polipo (1.0.4.1) with Firefox 3.6.12 and Torbutton 1.2.5

First time I tried to run it I had to restart polipo as root, having copied the config file from the tor project site but then all worked as hoped. I could toggle tor on and off with tor button and all was well. The tor test functioned and reported tor was working.

Today alas not so. I received error message to check polipo was running. It wasn't so I enabled it in system services and rebooted. Now polipo is running but when I try and use firefox for example to go to google, with torbutton enabled I get error message:- 504 Connect to Google failed: Connection refused.

I noted from other threads here that most people seem to use privoxy rather than polipo. Any reason for that? Is one better than the other?

Ubuntu Security :: Tor+Polipo - Vidalia Not Working?

Jun 7, 2011

I just recently installed Tor again on my new Natty install along with Vidalia. It was working initially, but for some reason it has ceased to function within the last 24 hours. When I start Tor (either from the command-line or Vidalia) and go to check.torproject.org, it says that Tor isn't running. (I don't use Torbutton with Firefox, if that makes any difference. I use FoxyProxy, but the settings look fine to me. It was working only yesterday.) I've checked the config files for Polipo and Tor, and I've checked my Vidalia settings more times than I can count. It all looks perfectly satisfactory.

I'm sure that it's not my firewall, Tor/Polipo configurations, or Vidalia settings. When I launch Tor with Vidalia and check the logs, everything works just fine and it says I'm connected. The only thing I can think of is that it might be a FoxyProxy issue or a problem with check.torproject.org, but the settings for FoxyProxy look okay and check.torproject.org hasn't malfunctioned in the past.

I've purged and reinstalled Tor, Vidalia, and Polipo and restored their config files and settings to the defaults, but still to no avail. My current malfunctioning Tor configuration is identical to my old and functional one, so far as I can tell.

Ubuntu Security :: Using Dansguardian -> Privoxy -> Polipo Cannot Work

Aug 22, 2010

Currently i am using the tutorial from Bodhi to setup Dansguardian to work togather with Privoxy and it worked fine.Then i installed Polipo to work with Privoxy which work as intented with additional forward the port to Privoxy.

Code:

Is it possible to run Polipo together with Privoxy? Yes. In order to get the privacy enhancements of Privoxy and much (but not all) of the performance of Polipo, you should put Polipo upstream of Privoxy.

In other words, you should:

point your web browser at Privoxy (localhost:8118);
point Privoxy at Polipo (put forward / localhost:8123 in the Privoxy config file);
use no parent proxy in Polipo.

Now i tried to use Dansguardian togather with Privoxy and Dansguardian with the same configuration but fail.

Ubuntu Installation :: Mythbuntu System Hangs After Regular System Update: "out Of Memory" Errors

Aug 4, 2010

I have Mythbuntu 10.04 installed on an exclusive HTPC and working great... until tonight. After letting the system update some packages (161 packages if I remember right), I suddenly have an issue where the graphical system won't start. After researching I found three error messages that might be causing that.

1. At the start of splash screen I see "UUID=xxxxxxxCD7 not ready yet or not present" I checked in /etc/fstab and found that this is the swap partition. I don't remember seeing this before so this could be the culprit.

2. I'm not at the computer in question right now but I saw a Plymouth error about "mountall" and then the message "plymouth command failed". Not sure if this could be the main error.

3. after a while (usually ca. 1-2 min) I receive thousands of errors of the kind "out of memory"... "kill process XXXX" (process vary wildly e.g. dbus-daemon, mysql, etc)... "process killed"..."respawning"

After error 3, I'm not able to switch to graphical console (ctrl-alt-F7). If I was in the graphical console at this moment, I simply can't switch to the CLI console. I'm always afraid of updating my system since I've seen lots of things breaking afterwards (usually the proprietary graphic drivers) but this is really strange.
