Fedora :: Trashed Fresh F12 X64 Installation - USB Error Message
Mar 1, 2010
This, in conjunction with the "If nouveau refuses to die try" instructions, has now apparently basically trashed my fresh Fedora 12 x64 installation, which I had just set up. Another couple of hours gone to waste. I installed the package that Nokia offers as leigh123linux's build instructions last rpmbuild command persistently gave errors, restarted and was left with Nouveau showing some cryptic error message and finally being presented with only the console. Then I did the "if nouveau refuses to die try" part, foolishly figuring the nVidia driver might take over. Now I am left with watching Fedora's legacy boot animation (the loading bar) and then but one USB error message, nothing else. Looks like I'll be stuck with W7 for another while.

I have just fresh installed Fedora 15 over my (very) old copy of Fedora 11. I wanted to play around with Linux.
Anyway, when I log in, I get the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong" (like I stated).

So I was creating a bootable USB stick with Unetbootin and accidentally selected my hard drive instead of the flash drive. My system is still running but I'm pretty sure I hosed it and it's not going to boot again if I restart. When I run cfdisk on my boot drive it says "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive". When I run cfdisk without a drive specification it says "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder". I think this problem is probably not specific to OpenSUSE but I figured this is as good a place to start as any.

I just having to do a fresh install and get the following message to close after setting up
partitions and on clicking write to disk:
Failed to mount "524M Volume"
Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist.
Only option under message is close button. I'm using Fedora 14 xfce 32bit live CD. The install seems to carry on normally until done but then when I check the partitions I've setup I seem to only have the origonal uneditted default partitions.

I have a laptop that I have been running 64bit lucid on after some problems with NFS Samba and SMB the installation got a bit trashed after some workarounds I removed nautilus completely and rebooted and got the looping login screen........ then I tried a suggestion to purge gdm but that left me with a blank grey screen and a mouse pointer. X11 has failed so I have no graphics
I can login properly to the drive from the terminal and can access my drive contents... I cannot load dolphin or nautilus from the terminal. So I have booted from a live cd and have moved some of my data to another partition but some is locked to the owner (me). How can I get my locked data opened so I can copy or move it to another drive, so I can perform a fresh install.

I am in the process of settign up a home server under FC14. The installation recognized both NICs, one as Intel Gigabit and the other as a Realtek Semiconductor as it should be. But when trying to start eth0 (Realtek) I get the following error message:
[root@theraugafamily network-scripts]# ifup eth0
Active connection state: activating
Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1
** (process:2296): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
state: unknown Error: Connection activation failed. Some more ifo the this NIC as it is of special type.It is a Viking PCI ADSL2+ Modem Card. I am quoting form the description "Being a gully integrated card, no external plug packs are required and cabling is simplified to just an ADSL line connection. The need to purchase an extra ethernet card is also eliminated, as yjis features is build into the card. The onboard Ethernet controller (RTL8139) makes the modem appear to the OS as a standard network card. Thus the Viking can be used with almost any modern O/S without the need for special drivers. This includes Windows, Linux, Solaris, xBSD, etc.." setting ACPI=off in GRUB.conf does not fix the issue

I have an odd problem. I custom-built a workstation:
MSI Speedster 1 mobo
2x Opteron 2352
4x DDR2 ECC 4GB
3x 150GB WD Raptor, hardware RAID 0
1x 2TB WD Green, standalone
I had Linux Mint 8 installed, but before putting the machine to real use decided to toss Windows 7 on there to see how it worked. Now I am attempting to put Mint 8 back on to get everything set up. There have been no hardware changes since I had Mint installed before.
I can successfully install, but when I reboot I get a Grub error 17. The partition table looks like:
50GB / ext4
400GB /home ext4
...
2TB /backup /ext3
Grub is installed to (hd0), which is the 450GB hardware RAID. It does not make a difference when I run the installation (and then reboot) with the 2TB drive disconnected. Thinking maybe the new ext4 format was messing with Grub, I tried:
200MB /boot ext2
50GB / ext4
400GB /home ext4
And installed again and rebooted. No dice. I'd guess Grub has issues recognizing the hardware raid, except it worked before

I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on xp,but, after waiting around 2 hours per instalation I received a error message that says:" unbuntu installer : and error occurred: coercing to unicode: need string or buffer, none Type found. for more information see log file C:1customerlocals-1 empwubi-10.10-rev197.109. I tried on one particion make just for it then I even tried on xp on C: I even put it on a pendrive but my bios is old and do not provide for usb booting. The other thing I have to try is making a boot cd but for one reason or the other , my recorder do not want to recornized my cds- rw and right now I do not have any regular blank cds . That will be my next step. Note: Ubuntu appears installed on the the control panel "add or removed programs" but not in "all programs" list. I'm a novice on this so maybe the answer was posted but I couldn't find it. Looking ahead to try it and be part of the linux team.

I am trying to perform a patch on the current kernel version that was included in SLES SP1 and do a compile of the kernel. However, after installing the new kernel and rebooting, I got a "Waiting for device" error. I tried just compiling the kernel after a fresh installation of SLES SP1 on a physical and virtual machine and got the same problem. When I was doing make rpm, I got errors something like (can't remember but it was something like not in gzip format, file format not recognized and exec format error). Also, what I noticed when performing mkinitrd was that there were errors like the following:
ERROR: modinfo :could not open /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.32.120.7paemod-root/lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7-pae-mod/kernel/drivers/char/agp/ali-agp.ko: No such file or directory
The files include others such as amd-k7-agp.ko, ati-agp.ko, efficeon-agp.ko and others. There are also 2 files in the usb direcotry that has this problem. This happened even after a fresh installation. What I did was the following:
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make menuconfig
make rpm
mkinitrd
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst

Sometimes httpd (the apache web server) fails to start and displays an error (98: Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80). This happens even when no other service is listening on port 80, as evident from the output of "lsof -i :80" and "netstat -A inet -lnp". This is due to a configuration file mixup. Both /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf contain the directive "Listen :80". If you comment out the "Listen 80" in /etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf, httpd will again start.

I'm using the ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script to create a bootable usb. Now in the arguments you're supposed to indicate a partition name. But my usb device gets auto-mounted to /media. And if I try to pass in /dev/sdb it gives me a "no media detected" message. What do?

I have a dual boot machine (Win XP + Ubuntu 9.10 on separate physical drives) which was working fine. I now want to replace the Ubuntu 9.10 with LinuxMCE which is based on Ubuntu 8.10. Using the LinuxMCE install disk, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 over the top of Ubuntu 9.10 (repartitioning the whole drive). On reboot, I now get a Grub "no such disk" error. I have run the boot info script which produced the following RESULT.txt:
Code:
Boot Info Summary:
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks for
(UUID=6a59ab9e-041f-41e2-b27c-02b8ada4c1af)/boot/grub.
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive
in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc

I'm trying to run Mac OSX Leopard + Ubuntu on my Macbook White 4,1. I've read multiple user guides, but for some reason it screwed up when I hit the partition button on rEFit. I received the 'gpsync' (sp?) error. I couldn't delete any of my partitions or make them go back to normal... As we speak I'm wiping my hard drive. I would really LOVE to start over FRESH. With Mac OSX, then to install Ubuntu. How can I go about installing Ubuntu on my Macbook without getting the sync error, and screwing up my partitions. Yes I read the user guide, and yes.. I did it step by step and still received the errors. I would love to fool around on Ubuntu, but the errors were stopping me.

I am currently trying out Debian in VMware Player and I installed it using the following method.
Image Used: Debian-7.6.0-amd64-netinst
In the check list where it lets you select Debian Desktop, Print Server, and System Utilities I think it was? I deselected everything.
After Debian installed and rebooted I logged in, elevated myself to su, and entered the following commands.
apt-get update
apt-get install kdm kde-plasma-desktop --no-install-recommends
reboot
startkde
and I get the error '$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server.'

From grub-rescue via ls command I see that I don't have the i386-pc folder inside /boot/grub. I have only two files:

after a fresh installation of the English version (Live CD installer) of Fedora 12 (Gnome) I would like to set the default system language to German.But I would like to have the whole Gnome desktop in German. What is the recommended place in Fedora to set this? /etc/profile or are there any Fedora specific configuration files for this purpose?Btw, the GDM login screen doesn't provide the German language as a choice. Do I miss a package? I already browsed the DE packages for localization packages I did not install but it seems there is no one missing.

I have been using my desktop as a dual boot machine for several months now. The primary hard drive with windows on it died, and since we have been using ubunto 9.10 exclusively, I just removed the dead drive, changed the jumpers on the secondary drive to primary and did a clean install on the drive which presumably formats the disk before installing. When I try to boot from the hard drive i get the following message:
ERROR: no such device 2eb48bcb-7bb4-4080-b04d-fc32dec8c252
