I saw that there are 2 NTP services in /etc/init.d:
/etc/init.d/ntpd - the NTP daemon
/etc/init.d/ntpdate - what is this ? and what is the relation between the 2 services?
I mean... if there is ntpd to do all the clock sync, what is ntpdate's role?
I have a boot problem. Is this just a kosmetic problem or is the syncronisation not working?

I've been dual booting 10.10 with Windows7 for about a month. Today is the first time I've encountered a serious problem.
This morning, nothing functioned properly after trying to open several programs. The computer seemed to be "frozen", although the mouse was working fine.
I decided to reboot, but then encountered an even bigger problem.
It failed to boot and got this message: no init found. try passing init= bootarg
The problem now is that it requires a Live CD session and I keep getting this: GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
In case it matters, I didn't install 10.10 from an ISO, I just upgraded from 10.04.
Ubuntu 9.10 will not boot! System froze this morning, I restarted and it is now failing to boot. Starts loading grub and I get this message:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/04aa3697-7bc0-45b5-b86a-77a1e6534bd5 on /root failed: invalid argument

I booted with 9.04 LiveCD discovered the drive could not be mounted-ran fsck -ln and it told me the drive has no valid partition table. I have had intermittent problems mounting flash drives before this, so I'm kind of worried it might be a hardware issue.Also have files on that drive I would rather not lose, so reinstalling is hopefully a last resort.

i like to ask something regarding network time protocol.... if i use "ntpdate [URL]"..it shows the time synchronized with [URL]. but if i want to reset my time should i use 'ntpdate' only or another command?

I'm trying to sync the clock of an ubuntu desktop with the network with ntpdate -u <ntp-server> and in a matter or minutes it's growing an offset of a few hundred milliseconds and even more than one second. Is there anyway to guarantee that the time keeps synchronizing with the network more frequently? does it make sense that the offset grows so fast? Am I doing something wrong?

While I was using my computer a few days ago, the terminal stopped working properly, so I tried to reboot, and when it started up again it wouldn't boot and said "no init found. try passing init=bootarg"
This has happened twice before, so I really need to figure out what keeps happening, otherwise I can't continue to use linux. i reinstalled both times before. i think that this is caused by a process that prevents me from using the hard drive, because when I try to check the disk in the terminal or in gparted, it says Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1. Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
Also, in the disk utility, in the lower right corner of the filesystem it has a spinning "loading wheel".(i'm not sure if that means anything)
I am using ubuntu 10.10, but am not sure what kernel I am using, but i tried a few different kernel options(there's three of them at start up). safe mode does not work either.
Im am building a Linux distro. It will be very tiny and fast.
I only have a minimal linuxkernel (bzImage) who is 1,2 mb big. And then I have Busybox who is 174,6 kb big.
The commands in busybox is: cd, ls, mkdir, rmdir, wget, httpd, clear, rm, poweroff, halt, reboot, fdisk, mount, umount, free, and cp.
When I compiled the kernel i use initramfs/initrd function and point it to a folder where initrd/initramfs source is.
The kernel works OK with others initramfs/initrd files. But not with my own.
Quote:
Here is how the end of the kernelcomplie look like.
Quote:
Here is my init file who is the initrd/initramfs source.
Quote:
The initramfs folder contains "bin" (folder) and "init" a file. No more.
The problem is that the kernel cannot find/read init file.
I can't update my ubuntu clock with my server. If i run the command ntpdate domain.local, it gives me this erro (no server suitable for synchronization found) if i run the command nslookup domain.local it works well and found my server
View 3 Replies View RelatedLately I've been trying to install the Nvidia Cuda driver for Linux.In order to do this, I have to tun a .run file. When I run it in the console, It says that I can't install when running the X server. So I try to use "init 3".When I type it, and hit enter, the screen goes black, no blinky cursor thing, just a frozen black screen. I followed one of the nvidia tutorials on here to get the normal nvidia driver, and it worked successfully.Before I installed the nvidia driver, when I would use "init 3" I would get a colourful console window with random coloured blocks of random lettering. It seems that installing the nvidia form the tutorial turned this into a black screen.

This is a minor annoyance, but I'd like to know how to fix it... When starting Fedora 12 with KDE, the KDE icon is twice the size of the other icons. I figure it is easy to make it the same size as all the other icons, but I don't know how. If this seems confusing, I am referring to the screen that appears after you enter your password and before the KDE desktop appears. A set of icons appear one at a time. The KDE icon is clearly twice as large as the others.

I have a service that when shutdown requires a username and password. I use `read` in my script to gather this info because I can't have it in the file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was having a job in /etc/event.d. It was working fine upto FC12. With upgrade to Fedora 13, it stopped working . Searching the internet, It looks like /etc/event.d is obsolete and I need to use /etc/init. Also the filename has to have a '.conf' extension. So I have renamed my job as /etc/init/svscan.conf.However, it fails to start automatically on reboot . It works if I manually issue the command % sudo /sbin/initctl emit qmailstartBut fails to start automatically on reboot. Is there anything wrong in my script below ? Let me know if I have missed out anything?
