Ubuntu :: Hdd Size Reporting Incorrectly?

Nov 16, 2010

230Gb HD, I recently partitioned a 90Gb slice, and ran 10.10 on it for a while, but due to not using it, I fired up gparted off a live disc last night and got rid of the partition. I got Gparted to make a 5gb swap, and the rest for 10.04, all is fine, rebooted to 10.04, updated grub, it removed the entry for 10.10, but reports that my hd is only 140gb, and sda2 is a 5gb swap. What gives? Where's my disc space?

Ubuntu :: Disk Free Incorrectly Reporting?

Jan 24, 2010

I have an computer that mounts an external hard drive for backups. The Computer hard drive is about 110 GB; the external drive is 120 GB.

When I do a df -h it tells me there is 97% in use.

Checking the computer harddrive I am using about 52.8 GB (of the 110 GB) 501,579 items, totalling 52.8 GB (some contents unreadable)

The external drive is using roughly 49GB of the 120 GB available.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/xanadu-root
114536088 104995108 3768692 97% /
udev 1030572 328 1030244 1% /dev

[Code]....

It seems like the total % is a reflect of total space consumed calculated off of ONE of the hard drives.

Server :: Df Reporting 100% But Du Reporting 20%?

Apr 15, 2011

Today morning I logged on to one of our servers (through ssh -X) to perform a routine maintenance. When I tried to open a GUI application, it failed to connect to the X server of the workstation. Eventually I ended up issuing the command

Code:

df -h /

and shockingly it showed that / is 100% used. I checked / using

Code:

du --max-depth=1 -xh /

to check the sizes of the individual directories, which showed that only about 18% of the / is used and that confused me badly. There was no quick solutions when I googled around; but luckily I found the following link which nicely explained the issue I had:

[URL]


All I did was found out the services responsible for those unreleased files (using lsof +L1) and restarted them. That is it. Now df reports only 18% of the disk is used and all my X things started working again, thanks to Walker.

General :: Dvd Drive Keep Mounting Incorrectly / Fix This?

Nov 27, 2010

Running Slackware 13.1

Whenever I insert a dvd or a cd, it automatically mounts to /media/[name], Like for example, the DVD I have in now mounts to /media/TBC3.2.0 (TBC3.2.0 is the name of the disc itself).

I'm needing this to mount to a regular point like /media/cdrom0 or whatever. How can I fix this?

General :: Df Not Reporting The Correct Use%?

Oct 15, 2009

I am attempting to install a small rpm that will give command line access to an integrated array controller on my system so that I can add more local disk. When attempting to apply the package I am receiving an error indicating that there is not enough space available on the filesystem. I have expanded the filesystem several times today in order to try and resolve this issue and also moved ~1.5G of files to another filesystem but I am still receiving the error.

Code:

[root@frenzy1a.mgmt.qa:~]# rpm -ivh /tmp/hpacucli-8.35-7.0.noarch.rpm

I have rebooted the server a couple of times and ran fsck as well.

General :: Windows - Why Does E-mail Render Incorrectly Only For Certain Recipients - When Use A Certain Server

Mar 11, 2011

This has been driving me absolutely crazy for a few days now. I have an e-mail. If I send it from a Windows Server 2003 server via MailEnable, a certain person receives it using Outlook 2003 just fine. If, however, I send the exact same message from an Ubuntu 10 server using SSMTP to relay the e-mail to the exact same MailEnable queue, the recipient receives a messed-up-looking e-mail. There are all kinds of "= " all over the place. The exact same e-mail looks fine on my Ubuntu computer, as well as my Mac, and all of the Windows/Mac computers here at work. Here is an excerpt from the copy they receive:

COMPANY has been communicating with COMPANY as they Agency worked to develop the= COMPANY permit, knowing that this would impact aquatic pesticide applicat= ion. But in December, COMPANY advised us that the COMPANY permit would = also cover any pesticide applications made "on or near any water or water c= onveyance." They described a scenario in which a pesticide applicatio= n made in a field or pasture that had a waterway or ditch in it (even if th= e waterway or ditch was dry) would need a COMPANY permit. This meant th= at the majority of pesticide applications made to crops would need a COMPANY = permit, and would have to comply with all the burdensome paperwork requirem= ents plus all of the pesticide application records would be available to th= e public for review.

What on Earth is happening? I'm using PHP's Mail_Mime to send the mail, if that matters.

I have tried testing this on an in-house netbook, running XP and Outlook 2003, same as them, and it looks fine. Unfortunately though, it's happening for more than one person, with different companies, in different states. Is it maybe an Outlook thing? Or a firewall?

Here are the headers they sent me, when I requested them earlier:

General :: Ping In A Script Reporting An Error?

Aug 7, 2010

I am trying to run a simple piece of code but is failing on the count of the ping. I want it to report only 1 ping to my remote server and if no ping then error with a message or else the rest of the code will proceed.

Its basically telling me that my rmt server is alive and ready to take connections etc etc.

Heres the code:

Quote:

DATE=`date +%Y/%m/%d`
TIME=`date |awk '{print $4}'`
RMT_HOST=Zeus
COUNT=1

[Code]....

It's complaining about the count number I think.. but for the life of me cannot work out why.

General :: VirtualBox On Wubi Ubuntu Can't Start VMs Due To Incorrectly Handling Absolute Paths?

Jun 27, 2011

I mostly do .Net development in a Windows 7 virtualbox. I use the host for simple things such as web browsing, skype, chat, etc. All things that are fantastically available on Ubuntu which I in many ways prefer. So this has been begging the question for a while: why even use Windows on the host, seems like a Linux host would use less resources (untested) and allow my Windows VMs to run better while allowing me to do my non-development stuff in an interface I prefer.

So easiest way to do this - I downloaded wubi and installed Ubuntu. I installed in it Virtualbox, and then start add and start my VM to get this message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine VS2010, Could not open the medium '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

You see what's going on? With wubi, the windows drive gets mounted at /host/ but virtualbox is for some reason appending an absolute path! I would very much like to use the same exact VM file since it would retain Snapshots and I would be able to use it in either windows or Ubuntu mode. However, even if I try to simply mount the drives into a new VM I get an error: Failed to open the hard disk /host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi. Cannot register the hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi' {guid...} because a hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/VirtualBox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi with UUID {guid...} already exists.

This is especially odd since this worked fine with my recently created Android VM, though this might have something to do with the fact that VirtualBox recently changed their default VM storage locations. Any idea how to fix this? My Linux-fu is weak but I seem to remember from CS class something about symbolic links that might be relevant here?

General :: OpenSSH Server Reporting Wrong Version?

Aug 3, 2009

My Fedora Core 8 server came with OpenSSH Server 4.7p1 installed. I could not find a YUM package or RPM for 5.2p1, so I installed it manually and rebooted. Now if I do a version check with "sshd -v", it reports it's version as "OpenSSH_5.2p1", but if I connect with Putty, it reports "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7". Do I have two versions of OpenSSH running or what's going on?

General :: F3 - F5 Keys Incorrectly Behaving As Audio Keys / Remap Them To Original Meaning?

Apr 17, 2010

I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.

Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Incorrectly Displaying Some Characters?

Jun 23, 2010

I've been seeing things like this in Firefox since installing:

Franais
Espaol

where the is a special/accented character. I've also been seeing the in places that seem likely to have some kind of quote mark, probably curved quotes. I can see straight single and double quotes. To correct this, I've tried changing the display font and the character encoding. I've also looked at the Mozilla Add-On site to see if I could find a plug-in to fix it, to no avail.

What should I try now? Currently I'm using Liberation Sans with UTF-8. I'm a native English speaker so I need a western encoding (I think), but I'd still like other characters to display properly.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Brasero Blanks DVD+RW Incorrectly

Jul 15, 2010

No problems with CD-RW, but DVD+RW are being blanked in an incorrect way. Ubuntu cannot recognize them at all after the blanking. I have to take the disks to another computer having Windows installed to blank them via Nero, and after that I they become OK for burning in Ubuntu via Brasero. I've got an old LG CD/DVD drive which was working fine in Windows. Who can recommend another program for CD/DVD burning for Ubuntu 10.04? (correctly blanking, certainly) I have installed the suggested updates for Brasero but of no avail.

Ubuntu :: Nautilus-actions Path Set Incorrectly

Jul 16, 2010

I am installing lucid, have installed nautilus-actions, and am trying to install a "Search for file in the active folder" function into nautilus-actions.. I brought up Nautilus Actions Configuration under System>Preferences and did the following:

Under Action tab
Checked Display item in selection context menu
Unchecked Display item in location context menu
Label: Search For File In Active Folder

[Code]....

when I right click a folder and select "Search For File in Active Folder, it brings up the search tool, but the folder setting is always my home folder--not the active folder. Of course I can change the folder to be searched, but the point was to search in the active folder. I got this Search For File in Active Folder function from an Internet site that I don't remember. However, I thought --path=%M would get me the active folder.

Ubuntu Installation :: Adding SSH Users - Permissions Set Incorrectly?

Jun 14, 2010

I was just trying to add new ssh users for tonight session and really messed up badly. I first installed package ibsh (iron-bars shell). I didn't know how to use it so I just went to a new user account and added ibsh at the end of his .profile. (I wrote

Code:
sudo gedit /home/username/.profile
which I suspect is the problem, I should have written
Code:
gksu gedit /home/username/.profile
??)

Well graphical logging became impossible in my own account until I did the following in my own account:

Code:
chmod 777 .profile
chmod 777 .ICEauthority

But desktop is still empty. I have restarted the system. I cannot use Firefox (it works without output for 10 sec and then dies). Chromium says something like "Problems due to not being able to update profile" but works. (I cannot see any files on desktop. But if I do places > desktop I can see them.) All the mentioned files had -------- for permissions so I did:

Code:
chmod 777 ~/Desktop/*

How to get my system back to normal. I think I got botched up permissions. If I create new user accounts, I get several error messages in these accounts.

Ubuntu Servers :: File On NFS Incorrectly Reported As Missing?

Jul 4, 2010

I have got four webservers and one fileserver, all running Karmic and kernel 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux.A folder on the fileserver has been exported using NFSv3 with these options: rw,async,no_subtree_check
and mounted on all four webservers with these options: efaults,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,noatimeThe webservers run Apache+PHP+APC. Some php-files include other php-files from the nfs mount, and are requested by users very frequently (~ 100 times per second). Sometimes but not always if I alter an included php-file using FTP (the FTP server is ProFTPD and runs on the fileserver), the file seems missing:user@webserver1: ~ $ ls --full-time -al /path/to/included/file.phpls: cannot access /path/to/included/file.php: No such file or directoryI can repeat this command for hours, but the file keeps missing. Until I query the directory:user@webserver1: ~ $ ls --full-time -al /path/to/included/ | grep file-rwxr-xr-x 1 1002 1002 14294 2010-07-04 21:11:30.000000000 +0200 file.php

Ubuntu :: Ext3 Partition Recognized Incorrectly As Silicon_medley_raid_member?

Mar 21, 2011

I have a very strange issue. I have a desktop Ubuntu 10.04 system that has worked just fine for months. Now suddenly grub won't find the root partition which is an ext3 partition (/dev/sda2).The strange thing about this -- I can boot with the install CD and can mount it just fine when using mount -t ext3. If I don't supply the "ext3" type however it identifies the type as "silicon_medley_raid_member" and can't mount it. If I go into the Ubuntu 10.04 Admin>Disk Utilty -- it too identifies the type of the partition as "silicon_medley_raid_member" not ext3. Same with blkid -p. With that I get:

/dev/sda2: VERSION="42758.8269" TYPE="silicon_medley_raid_member" USAGE="raid"I have other ext3 partitions that are recognized OK. When I mount the strange partition forcing ext3 -- it too seems ok. I ran fsck.ext3 on it -- with -f - and no errors were found. I backed up the partition with tar -- again -- no errors archiving. I've even tried zeroing the first 1024 bytes of the partition -- that had no effect on this issue.So what is going on with this. Any ideas? Any ideas how to fix this issue? What am I missing?

Networking :: Samba Displaying A Windows Share Incorrectly

May 3, 2011

I have a linux box that I'm using to mount a windows 7 share with samba or cifs. The mounting itself goes fine, but directories with more subdirs or files do not seem to have all the content they actually have.

For example, viewing my music folder shows only first 37 subdirs. The ls says "total 49", which is the correct amount, but the listing itself shows only 37 first in alphapetical order.

On the other hand, my wallpaper folder contains 122 files. Ls claims there is 41872 and displays only 70.

Adding the mount option noserverino increases the listed files or dirs, but it still does not show them all.

I've tried to enable debug printk level, but dmesg doesn't show anything interesting.

I've tried to change values in /proc/fs/cifs, but it does not seem to have any effect.

I've tried changing samba package. So far I've tested with 3.5.7, 3.5.2, 3.5.4 and now 3.5.8.

My distribution was yesterday slackware 13.1. Today I upgraded to 13.37 (with samba 3.5.8) but the problem persists.

I've tried with kernel versions 2.6.35.12, 2.6.38.2 and 2.6.37.6.

Debian Installation :: Installer Incorrectly Installs AMD64 From I386 DVD?

Aug 4, 2011

I just installed Debian stable from the standard i386 DVD. When I booted up, I noticed that GRUB showed me that I had the amd64 version of Debian installed. However, I did not download an amd64 DVD, nor do I want that architecture installed on my system (even though my system can support it). The output from "uname -a" (which included both "amd64" and "x86_64") also seem to confirm this. However, I was able to install 32 bit packages and get them to work (gdebi wouldn't even let me do this when I had Ubuntu 32-bit).

Ubuntu :: Maverick Installer Incorrectly Reading Partition Table

Nov 23, 2010

I think I found a bug with the maverick installer. [URL]. The installer is incorrectly reading my partition table I'm afraid it might overwrite data. /dev/sda3 is the target for the install.

/dev/sda1 = 200M = Windows system partition
/dev/sda2 = 239G = Windows install
/dev/sda3 = 50G = Where I want to install Linux
/dev/sda4 = 45G = NTFS storage

At first I had /dev/sda3 as a RAW type. In fact the only way I could create ext4 is via mkfs. I did unmount them before proceeding - mounted just as a reference in the screenshot. fdisk reads the same thing. Fresh install from LiveCD. I only have Wipe entire disk or Advanced in the installer. I don't have the "Install along side another OS" option.
