I have an installation of F12 where I used VMM to create and run four virtual machines.
If I set the machines to start at boot in VMM, but set my host to not boot all the way into X, the VMs don't boot.
IS that suppoed to be that way? Does VMM's auto-boot of VMs depend on some X or GNOME stage?
If so, what's the best way to fire up the VMs such that it doesn't conflict with any subsequent use of startx? (Don't eant to end up with double the machines just because I had a need to fire up X on the host.)
I am currently using FC10 on a Dell 4600 with 2GB of ram. I love Linux as it is the most stable OS around. My end goal is to have the machine boot and start the vncserver automatically, eventually using an ssh tunnel to make it secure. My main problem is the vncserver is not starting on boot, I must login as a user then it works great. the error I get is
[Code]....
Basically what happens is the vncserver fails on boot however, if I login to the Fedora box I am able to connect and I get the GDM login screen. I have read many, many posts but have not been able to get over the boot issue. I really want to make this a headless box I can put in another room so I have more room for my musical gear.
I'd like to start tomcat from eclipse, however, I get several Exceptions preventing tomcat to start. I can however start tomcat from the console, provided I do this as root :
Code: # su - # service tomcat5 start Starting tomcat5: [ OK ] And I do get the page saying that I've setup Tomcat successfully when going to http://localhost:8080 in my browser.
Just upgraded to F15 and I cannot seem to get the sendmail service starting at boot time.It starts and works just fine by hand after boot, so there's nothing wrong with the sendmail configuration itself."runlevel" shows a current run level of 5 and "chkconfig" shows sendmail on for run level 5.All the other mail service (mailman, clamd, etc.) start fine.Doing "service sendmail start" after boot gets everything up and running just fine, but itsure would be nice to have it run at boot like it used to
so my server is doing fine, but there is one odd thing I would like to fix. When I start and stop services, the CPU is maxed out for about five seconds each time. The services start the same speed, but it still does this. Small things like lm_sensors don't do this, just things like httpd and sendmail. THis server was upgraded to Fedora 11 with a netinstall CD a few months ago.
I have set up a new IP specifically for SSH and configured SSHD_Config accordingly to listen on this new interface and a specific port. However when I reboot SSH is not starting. Looking in the syslog it shows that it is unable to start. It looks like its trying to listen on the interface before it is set up.
Code: Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (601) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (610) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process ended, respawning Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh main process (618) terminated with status 255 Nov 29 13:00:23 anubis init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped
I am able to start SSH manually once the server is booted. Do I need to set up my interfaces differently to ensure they are available prior to SSH starting somehow? I don't want to change my ssh config to listen on all addresses.
How can I start multiple X servers by logging into same user and using same desktop environment like KDE or GNOME. Is this possible by editing .xauthority, .xinitrc etc files?
My mysql server won't start on my machine. It simply fails with no errors. Code: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail]
When I run cat /var/log/mysql.err the file is empty, thinking this might be a permissions issue I tried chowning to a mysql user. Here's the current permissions. Code: ls -alh /var/log/mysql* -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 0 2009-09-30 11:08 /var/log/mysql.err -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 0 2010-01-15 09:07 /var/log/mysql.log -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-25 07:35 /var/log/mysql.log.1.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-24 07:59 /var/log/mysql.log.2.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-23 07:56 /var/log/mysql.log.3.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-22 07:54 /var/log/mysql.log.4.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-21 07:47 /var/log/mysql.log.5.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-20 07:43 /var/log/mysql.log.6.gz -rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 20 2009-11-19 07:35 /var/log/mysql.log.7.gz

I am having problems with bond0 starting at boot on ubuntu server 9.10. After I do a restart I have to manually start the network with "ifup bond0". I have installed the built package (ifenslave-2.6_1.1.0-15ubuntu1_i386.deb (as indicated in Bug #482419)).
I have setup bonding for mode=6 with miimon=100 using eth0 and eth1 (both are Intel 10/100/1000 ports using an aic79xx network driver).
The contents of the aliases file are:
alias bond0 bonding options bond-mode=6 miimon=100
The contents of the interfaces file are: auto bond0
How would I make sure cron is running every time my server is turned on? I want to make cron jobs, but I need to know that it is running when the server boots. Also, I used a program at some point that was terminal based and it showed be what programs ran when the server booted up. It allowed me to check a box and select which programs I could run at boot. If someone could tell me this program,
I have a server running 64bit lucid and while trying to get a script to run on boot to start Davmail I appear to have broken something. I have webmin installed but I have been trying to do the majority of things via the command line. I now have davmail starting at boot but a lot of other services don't start anymore, including apache, mysql and webmin. Fortunately SSH still works and I can start apache and webmin from the command line without any problems.
From what I've read, it appears that the respawn stanza in /etc/init/mysql.conf would give me the restart option if the daemon crashes, but I want to make sure other safety features of mysqld_safe are present as well.My /etc/init/mysql.conf is the original. I've tried changing the exec stanza from /usr/sbin/mysqld to /usr/sbin/mysqld_safe but the job fails when I sudo service mysql start.mysql.conf
I'm starting several VMs on a remote headless ubuntu server via ssh using:
Code: VBoxHeadless -s <vmname>
The VM starts up okay, and I'm left with an occupied command terminal on my local ubuntu machine. So, if I want to start up several VMs on the remote server, I have to open up several command terminals and end up with as many occupied terminals once they're all running. When the local terminal is closed, the remote VM is also shutdown.
Is there a better way to do this without the remote VM being dependent on the local terminal? I'd like to remotely startup the VMs and be able to close the local terminals without shutting down the VMs. I'm sure this must be possible, I just don't know how to do it.
What is the proper way to stop tftpd from starting up? There is no numbered rc script symlink for it so I can't use update-rc.d. I don't want to just hack a file unless that is considered "the way".
Since I have not gotten anything on the "General Help" I am posting this here: When a Ubuntu 10.10 I have starts up apache2, MySQL and postfix start properly but bind9 doesn't. Once booted is I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start' it starts. The only thing odd on this system is I have a "inet6 v4tunnel" interface defined in my /etc/network/interfaces. From booting in the syslog there is:
Even with the bind debug level at set at 90 I do not get any more in the logs that what I posted before. The lack of errors in the logs is giving me no idea where to start. I commented out the IPv6 tunnel interface and rebooted and still no help. bind still is not starting at boot. OK, it is not a permissions issue, I have changed the config and zone files to be owned by bind:bind, root:bind, root:root and bind:root and it has made no difference. Doing a fresh install on a Virtual Box VM and configure it in a similar manner bind9 starts normally. (I am almost to the point where I will rebuild the box)
how do I start a ruby on rails application when my Ubuntu server starts up/is rebooted? I start the application by cd-ing into the ruby application's root directory(the application I'm using is Bibapp) and execute the command;
I have a file server running samba 3.4.0. I just upgraded ubuntu to 9.10. The upgrade was unfortunately stopped in the middle, but I think I managed to complete it.The problem is that now samba will not work after a reboot. The daemons are running, but any attempt to connect from a windows machine fails (Windows 7: the network path was not found). Manually restarting the service fixes the problem, but I need a more stable solution!Interestingly, I can ssh to the machine, or rdp to a virtual machine running on it.The logs don't seem to report any error:
I am trying to get SQL-Ledger installed and running on my computer, which needs PostgreSQL installed to run.Currently, I am having trouble with it starting at boot-up. How can I access the appropriate log files in order to figure out what's wrong?
Also, I need to know what httpd is, and who the owner and groups using that might be on my system.
so my servers 7 hds in raid 5 all was working well until one of them died. The HD that died sort of works it can read like half a file also freezes on the benchmark test in disk utility. Unfortunate when i take it out on boot it says. The drive for /media_kbt is not ready or present press s to skip or m for manual recovery. I hit s and then go to disk utility. But i can't start or add disks to the array.
Anyone know how to stop the pureftpd starting up automatically? I've tried the usual in /etc/init.d/pureftpd but it still starts and I need to log in and close it in the admin UI or in terminal.
So recently my MySQL server doesn't startup when Ubuntu boots (it used to) and therefore causes database errors with my Web applications. How do I add MySQL to the run at startup list?
I've installed Sun Java, tomcat6 and tomcat6-admin on 10.04 server 64-bit. By default, tomcat is configured to run as the tomcat6 user. Everything runs just fine on tcp/8080 as initially configured. Modifying the connector port in /etc/tomcat6/server.xml to anything below 1024 (e.g. port 80) results in:
This all begs the question... do you *really* have to run tomcat as root to bind to a well-known port? I.e. is there really no way for tomcat to start as root, bind to a privileged port and then drop privs?
I have installed KDE and all the software for it to run on my server through the serial console but when I go and run "startx" I get the following and KDE doesn't start running.

I recently followed a tutorial on how to get OpenLDAP running with Samba on Lucid. It worked pretty well.Here's my very frustrating problem with it. For the first 5 - 10 minutes after rebooting, password handling (possibly PAM?) is hosed, including for users in LDAP authenticating via Samba.In fact, I think the only reason I can SSH into the machine during that window is because I happen to have certificate authentication enabled and my client uses that.When I try to do a sudo command after logging in, though, and have to enter the password, it hangs. I've searched logs and haven't come up with much.I *think* it's related to this bug, but I'm not sure.And here's what's killing me ... it's not easy for me to figure out how to ensure that slapd starts before smbd and rsyslog (I read somewhere else that it needs to start before that for some reason) b/c most of the jobs are upstart jobs, but slapd is not.By default it runs at S19 in rc2.d, and I've tried manually lowering that as far as S05 or S07, but I'm still having trouble.
I'm trying to run BoxBackup to sync a couple active servers to a data server. I installed the server and client, making sure to follow the instructions closely with all the certificates. The problem is the service daemon on the service won't even start. The service manage reports: "bbstored dead but pid file exists" (basically, tried to instantiate the process, but it died due to faults).
Here's the log of the daemon in /var/log/box

Running Ubuntu Server 9.10.I have a couple of programs that I would like to start at boot, they will both run forever. I have created a cron job with @reboot and that will start a program, but if I have multiple programs in there it waits for the first to finish before starting the next.
I currently have sendmail installed. It starts as a daemon but I want to avoid doing that. I want to start it manually.Also am a dynamic host.so every time i start my computer my ip changes. I use ddclient to update my records at dyndns.com.but how to configure sendmail in the case of dynamic hosts since it looks at the file /etc/hosts which contains information about the static hosts.
