General :: How To Report A Bug Against Ubuntu's Upgrade Process
May 26, 2010
I just upgraded to lucid and discovered a nasty bug. It prevents the system from booting and took me hours to resolve. Now I'd like to report it along with the workaround I found. The only problem is: Where? Other such bugs have been filed against "update-manager", but that's just the GUI calling some scripts which do the real work. so what do I do?What should I substitute for XYZ in
I keep getting this message while I try to run updates. The Update Manager says I have 35MB to install but it doesn't do it. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to maybe fix it? Also, how do I 'report this bug against the update-manager package'?
Today I upgraded my 10.10 to 11.04. Since the last step of upgrading, when it was restarted, I get stucked in consola where it is checking, and there is written fail at stopping automatic crash report generation. How can I repair it. I tried to do
Trying to do the upgrade through "Software Updates", however because there are no current updates, I cannot click on the "Upgrade" button to begin the upgrade process to FC14.
Is there any other way to do this besides downloading the DVD and installing?
I have a high priority service that I start with sudo nice -n -10 process. This process does not need superuser rights though, except for the priority elevation. But nice requires superuser privileges to elevate priority.
Description of what the code does or what i intended to do:
1. Created a child process from parent process using 'fork()'
2. Sent a signal 'SIGALRM' from child process to parent process using 'sigqueue' function.
(The Third parameter of 'siqueue' function contains the message (message msg) which the child process wants to send to the parent process.'msg' is a stucture instance containing a) pid of child and b) string) 5. Print the 'msg' sent by child process inside the signal handler function 'sig_action_function' of the parent process I am getting some junk value when this line is executed
Code:
printf("%d ",msg->cpid);
I expected to get the pid of child process, which the child process sent to parent process through the signal.
every time i click or open or move a window it freezes for several seconds. system monitor shows at this time the process Xorg is using 100% cpu.it never drops down below 40%, even at idle.my system is amd 64 4000+ 3gb ram and ati 3650 HD video.i have kubuntu 64 10.10 with all the updates and default ati drivers.
as we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.
So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.
I have a process running on Linux.When i do ps -eaf | grep <myProcess>, it show muliple entries for <myProcess> with different pids for each entry.Kindly tell me what could be the reason for a process having multiple pids?
I am using awstats for my website report . but last 3 days i am not using awstats . now i check awstats,, when i give updatenow then it only shows todays report , we cant find last 3 days report.
I have apt-mirror working perfectly for my local repo.I have it sending me an email everyday after it runs.However, there is nothing in the email. I'd like for the email to show me how much data was downloaded, number of files, (the normal apt-mirror information when ran from terminal). Lastly, the clean.sh script contains nothing to do. What can I add to the script to clean up my repo (remove older packages, etc..) My repo keeps getting larger and larger. It's at 66.7GB now.
I have collected the sa* and sar* files for the past two weeks , i need to generate the report for these files how can i do so i am using centos 5.5. assist me with a tool or a command to do the same.
I have setup a cluster.Which is basically a few Virtual Machines running and the applications running in them which are accessible on internet. He has asked me to send him a weekly report of this work. I am sys admin guy who understands ssh,telnet,ftp,tftp,TCP I am not able to understand what should I write in report.Because all the servers are perfectly running and applications are also running on top of them and I am done with this.So basically from my part I do not have any ssh or ftp to write in a report like this.Can some one give me a link if there is some sample report that I should send.I am not able to understand what do I need to Google for the same.
I've been running my shellscript for about half an hour now. It's taking longer than I thought to process all the data. I have the process ID of it. Is it possible to save the process and log out then log in and continue the process? I know how to pause a process using kill -pause pID and continue it using kill -cont pID. But that only work if you don't log out after pausing it.
I am running a Cron job which mails the content of a log report every day. The problem is that the contents are sent as an attachment instead of as the body of the email. The strange thing is that if I run the instructions from the command line everything works fine, but if I do so from the Cron job the log report is attached instead of being sent inline.
The instruction I use is: Code: mail -s "logfile for cron" cron@example.com </var/log/cron-log Following some advice I read on a blog I also tried this instruction in my Cron file, but the result is the same: it works fine from the command line, but attaches the report when run from Cron: Code: echo "Content-Type: text/plain;" | mail -s "logfile for cron" cron@example.com </var/log/cron-log How to ensure the content of the log file is inline?
I have 2 Slackware installs at home, both tracking -current. When 13.37 is officially released I'm considering changing one of those to remain as "stable" for general family consumption. My question is...when the next release comes, how painless and/or successful is the upgrade process. Yes I know of the detailed upgrade instructions by Pat V, and I know I'd have no difficulty executing them.
I'm excited to try the new 2.0.1 version of Guile. I'm running Slackware64 13.37 and the latest version of Guile distributed with it is 1.8.8. I see that this new version, as part of it's new capabilities, has a few new requirements. I have built and installed libffi, libunistring and libgc according to their install instructions, but Guile's configure script can't find them.
I have tried manually creating libffi.pc libunistring.pc and libgc.pc files, which has allowed configure to get past the first two, but I still can't determine the correct name for libgc. Further, I am now not confident that Guile will find these where it expects to find them in the end. I would like to ask for some clarification of the install process for this new version of Guile, but I'm not sure whom to ask.
I need to produce a script that will create a report that will be emailed to me that will Log user login activity to detect unauthorized remote access attempts. Where would I start?
I just upgraded from F12 to F13 and the result is a mess. From F11 to F12, I*used preupgrade and it worked flawlessly. This time, the process ended on a blank screen. So, I downloaded the DVD and I suppose the files downloaded by preupgarde were used as there were almost no connections to the net during the upgrade process. The problem now is that apparently almost all the FC12 files are still on my system:
Of course, as I said, the previous upgrade went flawlessly and I didn't check what happened on the system with the rpm and locate commands but I doubt is looked that bad. Seeing what kind of mess my system was turned into, I now worry about the next upgrade.
Does anyone know or have a book on the advanced uses of kickstart and its deployment methods? I have a challenge and its to: Write a report with a full and detailed analysis of the two methods,(remote installation methods of linux and windows) their differences, and a comparison of features and performance.
I am also going to have two servers (one Windows one Linux)thay deploy a virtual network of VMs with different scopes and policies. What can i really do to go beyond the scopes and policies?
I have to admit that I register to LQ after I failed to search for similar solutions.let me see whether I can explain my problem clearly. I need to extract a single report from a big file. The big file looks something like this:
Report for yyyyyy Your info 999-9999999 End of Report
[code]....
I need to search for a user provided string, say 999-9999999, in the big file. Then I have to extract the single report. My logic is simple,
1) find 999-9999999 2) backward search for "Report for", note down the line number 3) forward search for "End of Report", note down the line number 4) extract the record by using info found from step 2) and 3).
I am trying to do this in bash, with awk and sed (I am new to both).
