My PC lost power while updating. After booting, I run update once again and everything seems to be fine, except the message "could not do simulate: coreutils-libs-8.4-8.fc13.i686 requires coreutils = 8.4-8.fc13 : Success - empty transaction".
When I try using "yum update", I receive the error message below.

Unfortunately my laptop was powered off whilst the Updater Applet was doing an update. Now, after a reboot, the system always fails when updating. Neither the Updater Applet nor yast does succeed. To me it looks like some involved DB got corrupted. The error messages are shown below.

I cant change my user settings (password, login screen settings etc) after upgrading to 10.4 on my desktop pc. It says I don't have rights. I'm the only user, no other profiles. Otherwise seems to be working fine!

Now I cant connect to internet by my router either wireless or wired. My wlan drivers are ok too. There seem to be no network whatsoever.
I installed ubuntu 10.10, dual boot with winxp then I ran the update manager and now I don't have the option to boot into windows.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was using dual boot (windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10) and it was going well. Couple of days ago I updated to Ubuntu 11.04 and everything was OK. Yesterday I cought some virus in windows, installed Microsoft security essentials which asked to update Windows. After update, dual boot is gone. It boots to windows directly with no option to choose between OS.

While leaving my laptop to install the upgrades, I hadn't noticed how the power cord had slipped loose. When I came back my computer must have shut off due to battery loss. When I booted up my computer again, I couldn't boot up Ubuntu under any of the kernels, -20,-19, etc. I get cryptic messages such as "unable to enumerate USB device on port 2," device not accepting messages," and "device descriptor read." i definitely intend to recover my data. I had been upgrading from 9.10 to the latest version of lucid lynx.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I tell the computer to go to sleep and there is a power failure the sleep state is lost. Is there a way to prevent this? I already know about hibernate and I'm using it but sleep is faster and there is no complete loading of the computer (BIOS, Grub and so on) it just goes directly into the desktop. As far as I know the sleep state is done when everything is in RAM and the computer is turned off but the RAM sticks still receive power. Is this true?
P.S. Can this be done with hibernate and SSD drives? As far as I can tell from what I've read it will be the same but with no state loss. Is this true?

Running Ubuntu headless server 9.10 with a RAID 1 on ext3. After a power failure (UPS power button was hit accidentally), I logged into the system via ssh and found that I had lost all data since my last reboot, which was 4 months ago. It was as if I had a perfect snapshot of my machine from 4 months ago. Everything, database files, logs, all report as if the machine had been off for 4 months. Fortunately, I have quality backups of all my data so I am able to recover, but I have never had such a problem before and I cannot figure out what happened.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on a Dell Mini 9 - worked around a few wireless issues on setup and connectivity has been fine, but now I'm suddenly losing wifi when I unplug my AC adapter. It still shows me as connected, but when I try to view web pages in Chromium, it will load pages for a few seconds, and then suddenly cuts out - though it still looks like it's trying to load the page.
It's the same if I boot on battery power - it will keep trying to connect to wifi but won't until I plug in the adapter. I'm assuming this probably has something to do with my power management preferences in battery mode, but I'm still pretty new to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've played with the options in power management, but I have a feeling there has to be more. Can anyone help me? This has been really frustrating.
I ran up2date yesterday and it installed a few new MySQL packages as well as a new kernel.
It got through everything up until it went to install the smp version of the kernel, and up2date spit an error at me and quit.
The problem was that my system keeps old kernels and /boot was full, so it couldn't add the new files there. No problem--I manually removed (via rpm -e) six or seven of the old kernel packages (there might have been a dozen or so), ran up2date again, and it successfully installed the new kernel. Great. So I rebooted the system.
And when it came back up... MySQL didn't start.
I tried to manually start it just to see, and was greeted with "chown: 'mysql:mysql': invalid user" Yikes! Sure enough, a look at /etc/passwd showed NO user "mysql." I quickly tried "useradd mysql" but it wouldn't go for that because there was a GROUP mysql.
I checked to make sure that there was no user with an id matching the group id of mysql and then manually added mysql back to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
After doing that I was able to start the MySQL daemon and it now properly starts up and runs fine after rebooting.
So basically, it's fixed, but I still don't exactly understand what the heck happened. Updating to a new MySQL rpm and having up2date fail while installing a new kernel somehow deletes my "mysql" user from the system? I shouldn't have to be manually modifying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow because of an up2date error, I wouldn't think.
Edit-- This is a RHEL 4 system now running 2.6.9-89.0.20.ELsmp on a Dell PowerEdge 1750..
I have a 3dsp pci wifi card, and the last kernel it supports is Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-(21-24) I want to update but dont want to accidentally update the kernal.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Squeeze with Xfce. My problem is that recently (after the xfce updates) the xfce power manager doesnt react to the power button - it is set to suspend. I dont have gnome-power manager or anything like it running.
If i reboot the computer, the power button will work but if i suspend and resume, it doesnt work again.

acpi_listen detects the button press.
Any thoughts?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I purchased a new ALFA AWUS036H wireless card. I would like to know if this "1Watt" wireless card is configured for full power. iwlist wlan0 txpower results:
wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=27 dBm (501 mW). It appears to me that I should be able to increase the power. "iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1" does not work. Do I need to patch the new default driver that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with the aircrack one following these directions:[URL]...? Monitor mode and a injection tests seem to work fine with the driver I have installed.
I'm looking for any power monitoring devices for Linux to allow monitoring power quality, voltage changes, and outages. This would be for North American three phase power system. I want to have this data fed live to my own program. It should be something much better than just jury-rigging a circuit to fee the power waveform into 2 or 3 audio cards.

probably the power-supply or what?
If it is the power supply, how do I find new one as I've never had to replace anything on it or any other PC?
Also, I really need access to the hard drive but it's a weird hard drive and was wondering if I could put that hard drive in my K7 PC, which already has 2 drives in it can a pc have 3 drives? do I have to add/have another ribbon cable for 3rd drive?
On the last release, I had this app installed where I could pick my power profile. I could use power conservatively, and performance would suffer a bit, but longer batt life,or I could have it automatically detect, or I could have the apps use all the power they want and then some. I'm looking to reinstall that app. What was the name of it?I can't remember, and so far, can't find.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to update from Fedora 10 to a newer version, when I try the auto update thing that pops up occasionally it says newer version available and lists Fedora 11, when I click on the preinstall which I thought was some info on it iyt starts trying to update to Fedora 12. I posted about this earlier (I can not even find the thread any more) and an administrator pointed me to a wiki which stated there is no way to get from 10 to 12. My question is how do I even get to 11, when I tried the preinstall the trouble I ran into was no space in /boot. I tried to remove other installs and when I went to the preinstall again it froze and I waited an hour then switched off the machine. Upon rebooting I got a message missing file and could not boot at all so i reinstalled Fedora 10. Now I am stuck as I tried a yum install as another suggested and could not get repository, and I had a working internet connection. I also seen in your list of laptops that work my laptop works but has some problems with internet. I can not use wireless, in reality I occasionally can use wireless, what I can always use is my sprint cdma broadband card, will I lose this if I try to upgrade, would I be best to try and burn an iso image and if so is there any way to figure out if it has cdma support?
