I'm getting error while starting some service in Linux.

I have installed fedora 13 recently and installed IDPS(snort) on it. But now I am not able to start service httpd. When I write service httpd start, it says OK, but I know it is a false message bcoz when I write service httpd stop it gives me Failed.
On writing service httpd status it gives a message:
httpd dead but subsys locked
I have tried "rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd" - no solution
yum update hasn't solved my problem as well.
I have to show my project running at my college. And I can not understand properly the technical instructions as I am new to linux.
I have cloned linux installation from USB drive to another. The system is Fedora core and it is used as a software for encoding live stream (it's using PCI encoding cards). The system works well on original hardware configuration, however when I use this cloned flash drive on another hardware configuration one service will not start. It is a "calld" service and it is a service which has a protection which limits its execution to original hardware platform only (mac authentication probably). I need to get this service up, so when I type command "service calld starts/tatus" or "etc/init.d/calld start" I get response "service is dead and subsystems are locked". I tried matching mac address to original hardware configuration but still the same. This is a config file of service /etc/init.d/calld
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/calld
#
# Starts the calld
#
# chkconfig: 345 44 56

I wonder is it possible to get it up by changing its configuration.

but I think I have a reasonable handle on the /etc/init.d, /sbin/service, chkconfig, and runlevels stuff under CentOS. However, when I install particular daemons (not part of CentOS distro), I get a weird issue. If I log in as root and do /sbin/service <daemon> status, it says "... is running...", however, if I log in as a non su, and do the same /sbin/service ... status, it says "xxx dead but subsys locked." Is the daemon running or not? I assume it's some kind of privilege issue with how the daemon is setup versus the non root login.I would like to have users be able to use service to query daemon status as works with the base daemons like sshd and httpd.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a box with a fresh installation of CentOS 5.6, but had several configs copied from an old 4.8 box that I've now got to finish. Most everything seems fine, but I can't get apache running. It reports that it starts up fine, but immediately stops and reports "httpd dead but subsys locked"Most of the advice I've found while searching suggests to just delete the http.pid file and restart, which doesn't help in my case. I did find a few problems where SELinux was restricting httpd from creating or touching certain files (I found reports in /var/log/messages) but I've worked through that.
So the big question here is: /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log are now empty, and don't show any more errors when I restart httpd. Does anyone know where else I can look for reporting/logging on what's happening to httpd to cause it to die?

I am using a machine I SSH into to do some processing over very large files, but I am now unable to access it through ssh.The shell I had opened is not responsive, and when I try to connect again, it hangs even before asking for the password.I suspect this to be a memory problem as a couple of processes need to load a lot of the data to process it.Is there an emergency way of going back into this machine, or killing some processes to free the memory up ? I tried ssh ... 'kill -9 pid' but it is not even able to do this.Do you reckon the processing is still happening or is the machine completely idle ? How would you advise me to go back to it ? It's for my final year project, and I'm starting to stress !
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have my old laptop TravelMate 2413NLMi 1GB RAM. My Cd drive works not well on most of the CDs. I don't know how it picks Win2K3 cd but in that also it gives problem. After some break it picks it up. Installed win 2K3 server successfully from CD Drive. That Cd is old and very good quality. Later I downloaded ubuntu iso 32 /64 both when I heard about dual boot via wubi. I wrote the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 iso on 2 CDs with fastest and slowest speed both on my new laptop but that Cds not worked in the old laptop cd drive. Also my laptop not support USB as boot device in boot sequence. So USB install via usb creator cannot work. I also verified that Iso are fine by installing on someone else's desktop PC. Those cds work well there.
Back to my laptop: Then I copied all Cd content in a folder on desktop of Win2K3 with the help of my new laptop CD drive and usb drive I have. I run the Wubi on the desktop of Win2k3. It run successfully and in the end asked me to reboot. I rebooted. I got the 'Ubuntu' option on booting. I selected and came into it. After that ubuntu splash screen came and then following message displayed on screen
The Error:
mount: mounting /dev/loop1 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/Output error
I got it this is due to the dead/faulty cd drive which ubuntu not able to mount. Now tell me how to install ubuntu further with the UI. Is there some special command to do this going in Grub pressing 'ESC' because the already specified modes have some commands on pressing 'e' there. Some way if I can use iso in that environment copying from USB. I need commands for that. I want to see ubuntu in action. I used lot of my bandwidth to download this iso files but still not able to see it in action.
I'm trying to download linspire Live. There are 2 download links and both are dead?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a hard drive that I have partitioned into two large chunks. I have Fedora 12 on one, and I would like to put another distro on the other. I do most things on my Fedora, but on the Second distro, I'll be doing more sensitive things such as banking. If I wanted to "Lock out" the Banking distro, and only boot to it if I have an SD card or Flash drive, to act as a "key" would it be simple as putting the boot sector of the banking Distro onto the removable media, or is there something else I need to do?
to summarize, I'd like my system to automatically boot to Fedora, unless I have some form of removable media (preferably an SD card but Possibly a Flash drive) plugged in; in which case, I'd like it to boot to my banking Distro. What would be the easiest, way to go about this?
to the point on Fedora 13 I moved the top menu bar on the desktop to the bottom and auto hide the bar on bottom,now I can not use ether. Right clicking on the bars does nothing. I set a backup point before the changes. How do I fix this problem?

My thought was to use these as internet stations where employees can register their time thru our internal web-based application. I would like to have an environment working like Windows with the SteadyState add-on, access to a limited list of web-sites and no system changes by the user. I have looked at [URL] and [URL] which both meets me criteria when it comes to locking out the user from all system settings, but both seems to be totally open to all web-sites without the possibility for the admin to make a list of allowed sites.

Recently updated the kernel in Ubuntu 9.10 and for some reason now, a folder which was not read-only now is. I can't delete anything from it. Have tried using the GUI for changing permissions, however, it has a mind of it's own and won't unlock the folder.
Anyone had this happen where a folder locked when you didn't want it to be?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 6930g with an nVidia GeForce 9300m GS which has a broken screen. I have been using an external monitor for some time using Linux Mint, without issue.
I initially set this up with great difficulty using the small parts of the screen that would still display an image at the time. Now, however the screen is totally dead, I have since disconnected the laptop monitor in order to not cause issues.
The issue I am currently having is trying to use live distros.
I'll give you example: I boot ubuntu 9.10 32bit and it gets to the initial boot menu. I choose "Try Ubuntu..." It shows the loading screen. Screen goes blank when going to desktop
I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal, but the screen stays blank. The same thing happens with both Knoppix and Backtrack 4 as well. The display goes blank upon switching to the desktop.
I dual boot into Arch Linux and OS X 10.6 on my MacBook pro. I synced my UID between both OSes and created an HFS partition (with no journaling) to use as a shared home/Users partition. For the most part it works just as I'd expect, but sometimes when I'm booted into OS X certain files are "locked" (when I get info on a particular file the "Locked" box is checked under the "General" pane. I can resolve the issue by manually unchecking the box) and/or I get "Operation not permitted" when I try deleting or chmod'ing a file. In both cases I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the permission bits displayed with ls -l, except for a trailing '@' character in the position where the sticky bit would normally occur:
This '@' character shows up on ALL normal files, so doesn't seem to be linked to the locked/operation not permission situation.
On the Linux side of things I never have permission problems. To the best of my limited knowledge and experience with ACLs I've not found any ACLs on any of the files in question.
For what it's worth, I do most of my file editing using emacs (Aquamacs in OSX), is it possible it is setting weird permission bits?
What is the "locked" setting that OS X uses and does it have a permission bit equivalent (so at the very least I could recursively unlock all files in my home directory from the terminal) why might some, but not other files get "locked" when booting into OS X what is the meaning of the '@' character?
I'm pretty new to Linux. Though I've used it for a little bit, I barely know any shell commands. I recently migrated from Mint to Fedora. Installation went fine and I thought I was doing great until I tried to copy something onto one of my ntfs partitions (I got them automounted through changing fstab). Now I can't change the permissions with sudo chmod... it says I can, but nothing changes. And, while the folders are listed as allowing rw for the user group I set up, I can't actually change anything. I'm guessing I've done something wrong with my fstab file.
My fstab file is:
Code:
I should probably note that I'm using NVIDIA fake RAID 0, which is why my device locations are all /dev/mapper/nvidia_fcficeibp#
The command I have tried to change permissions is:

I am using OpenSuse 11.2 and Samba/Kerberos to authenticate to a Active Directory Domain Server. It works fine if the enter the correct password, but if I enter an incorrect password samba keeps trying to used the same credentials to authenticate, and after five attempts AD locks out the account. I verified this with wireshark. I can't find any configuration options to limit attempts to one and then ask the client to renter the password.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy main PC has AN Athlon X2 4600+ on an Asus M2npv-vm. Has been working fine for ages running Ubuntu. Today it the system locked up and I had to do a reset.

I suppose it could be something has died in the hardware, but want to eliminate other possibilities first.
While I was away from my computer a friend changed my keyboard layout to a random layout thinking he could revert it via mouse actions only. Unfortunately, by the time I returned, my screen was locked. Now I cannot unlock my session to get back in to the KDE session to restore the correct keyboard layout.
However, I can log in to a console. In the console (e.g., Ctrl-Alt-F1), the keyboard layout is unchanged, so I can edit any text files and make any other changes required. How can I change the KDE keyboard layout from a console? I'm running Kubuntu 10.04. There is no .kderc file in my home directory. And Xorg.conf doesn't contain the settings either. I'm not sure where else to look.
I came to know about this bug or something in Ubuntu only in karmic version which slows down file transfer I've used ubuntu from version 8.10 and having considerable speeds like 3-4Mbps sometimes 2.5 to 2. Even though very less its seems okay for me transfering a big 5G file or a movie to external Hdd without stucking and allowing me to do other work. Now in karmic the transfer rate is of no change but its stucks ,fades into grey and hangs . It's not allowing me to do any other work like browsing and it stucks in mouse cliks and movements. I never noticed this kind of behavior in Jaunty ,Intrepid even though transfer rate is less.
It really took me more than 30 min to transfer 4.5GB iso image to external WD 40GB HDD . Its so odd and frustrating . Many people to whom i've introduced Linux and Ubuntu specially were complaining and some already went back to vista and xp.

How safe is a chroot if it is locked down? how difficult is building a secure chroot? Does anyone know of any working tutorials for setting up a secure chroot? i only need it to run two applications, a torrent client and a VPN client. I'm hoping to set one up on Ubuntu Karmic. also, I found this, under 'section 4' he gave no write permissions to any non root user, can this be extended upon? which directories do limited users require write access to? what else would you consider essential to security inside a chroot?
