General :: Pardus Upgrade Failed - PISI Terminates After Checking
Apr 11, 2010
I did an upgrade from pardus 2009 to 2009.1. When all the packages finished downloading and started installing, the power went off suddenly. Now my system is boots fine till the graphical login, but after I enter username and password, desktop fails to load and I am back at the login screen. I tried to resume the upgrade using (# pisi upgrade) but pisi terminates after checking the repositories. What to do?
i've been using Linux for a couple of years it's always been Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint environments which i can just about find my way arround in.Because i wanted to try something new and was unhappy with the last development in Ubuntu i've looked arround and decided to try my luck with a KDE based distro, Pardus came accross well in the reviews.So, i'm now in Pardus but can't find my "trusted newsreader (binaries/nzb's)" PAN in the repo's.To be honest i can't find an awefull lot in the repo's, i have tried adding a couple of German based repositories but dissapointingly still no Pan.
Google, normally a mine of information has let me down aswell, so now i'm asking the Linux community for a little shared wisdom.If anyone could shed a little light for me, i'd be really gratefull - especially if you'd be kind enough point out how to install Pan if it can be found.Pretty shamefull when you realise just how little you really know when stepping out of the comfort zone.
I have a Thinkpad which uses a Realtek Wifi controller. I read that with the 2.6.32 kernel, the driver is now part of the kernel by default. I have pardus 2009.2 installed and would like to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32 But i cant find this kernel in the default repositories.
I keep getting the error "reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for fileserver.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa [10.0.0.10] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!" in /var/log/auth.log I have a DNS (bind9) setup on my Linux router with the following config:
Code: router:~# less /etc/bind/named.conf.local // Local zone definitions here. zone "0.0.10.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.0.0.10";
I tried to find an answer to whatever is happening with my sh, tried a few approaches, but none is working the way I planned... the loop quits with exit 0, runs once, if I comment out 'ffmpeg' line, it runs N times as it should - ffmpeg does not error out other than 0.
This sh runs once, echoes "inside" 'n "outside" once, exits with '0'... unless ffmpeg commented out. I also tried to feed the loop with: done < /tmp/fname.list. BTW, this works well - but I am very interested in the >while read< loop giving up.
Code: for i in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -aq 4 -y "$(basename "$i" .mp3).ogg"; done
I use ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala as my desktop OS. My internet connection is creating problems these days, ever since I started downloading torrents for iso files. Whenever the downloads in transmission client is running, the internet gets disconnected abruptly, and even my other downloads in d4x stops. On using the plog command in the terminal, it shows the following:
I dont understand much of it, as am a new user using linux systems from only a few months ago, can't find out. Also on closing the transmission client the other downloads in d4x run perfectly well and so does my internet connection.
If i have, say, ..... tab opened and if a click on some of the related videos (while it's still playing) firefox terminates. The same if I open ..... on one tab and myspace on another - firefox just shuts down.
I want to know why this happens, is it a bug and how can i fix it ?
I have installed suse 11.2. Sometimes while using (firefox, okular, open office etc) x server restarts & comes to login screen. While checking Xorg.0.log i found i810 module is failed to load. Is this causing the x server restart?
When I click "check" in Update Manager it tries to download 541 files, skiping each one and the giving me this message: Quote: W: GPG error: http://linux.dropbox.com karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FC918B335044912E W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.

I did normal net upgrade after the official release of 10.10 yesterday evening. On reboot I get a frozen system with a blank screen. Checking via safemode, I find it is stuck when 'checking battery state' but this is a desktop machine! Apt update, uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, etc.
Code: slackpkg upgrade-all At the end, it asked me if what to do with the new and old configuration files. I chose to use the old file and keep the new ones. But when I reboot the system, it fails to restart saying "cannot find which tty". Looks like the old configuration files doesn't go well with the new upgrade. How can I use the new configuration file without wiping out my old configurations? What are the steps to retrieve the system back online?
Using the new Pardus corporate 2 and got pixmus ip4200 printer working with the bjc7004 driver . It looks good enough . Standard test page shows no ruler on bottom of page , Should I try to fix this ? And , if so , how ?
I tried to upgrade ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04. It is almost complete downloading packages,but i get this error:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...untu2_i386.deb The HTTP server sent an invalid Content-Range header [IP: 91.189.88.30 80]I tried to change from main server to US server, but I still get this error.
Sometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?
I've been using Ubuntu since 6.04, not a linux guru by any means but can usually get myself out of trouble.
So, the issue... I installed 8.04 on my mother's laptop some time back as she was having trouble keeping Win 2000 running (she has a low spec no-name generic laptop btw). I live in Autsralia and she in England, i thought i could better support her if she was running Ubuntu... All has been well with 8.04 but with the new LTS release (10.04) i thought i'd talk her through the upgrade... Did the online upgrade via Update Manager, all seemed to go OK but when she went to log on after restart she got an error saying 'authentication failed' even though we are 100% sure we have the user name and password correct... Tried to do a ctrl+alt+F1 to by pass the GUI log on but couldn't get the terminal session to open up, just got a black screen - no command prompt.
So... thought OK re-install... downloaded the ISO, burned and sent her a CD in the post... talked her through the re-install, all seemed to go well (again) - BUT, after restart, couldn't log in "authentication failed" again...
So, remember i'm trying to talk a novice through all this... any thoughts!?!
If i can get her to log in i can then support her via some kind of remote sesion or other screen share... and it wont cost me a small fortune in international calls!!! But if i can't get a log in, i'm dead in the water!?
I want to spawn a GDB session from bash script and keep it working to interact it from outside. But when I start it in background (with '&' sigil).
Code: gdb -x gdb_script.txt ./a.out < gdb_pipe.fifo & It executes passed script and terminates by itself (I do not pass any data or signals to it)
Code: Breakpoint 33, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff0f4) at main.c:53 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---53 read_main_config(); (gdb) quit
A debugging session is active. Inferior 1 [process 5957] will be killed. Quit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal] What can I do to make it alive?
I am trying to relaunch a process after it's name, not pid, terminates in C++. Is this possible? I am using g++ 4.3-4.4 on Fedora 10, wandering between my x86 and ppc machines. I just recompile.
I have p1,p2,p3,p4 some processes created by me in C. p1, p2, p3 are started individually from several consoles. And I want process p4 to terminates processes p1, p2, p3 if they are running. Which is the easiest way to accomplish that? put all processes in the same process group and send from p4 a kill signal to the group. But I couldn't do that because I cannot call successfully setpgid(getpid(), 15000) from p1-p4. It's there some way to put them in the same group? the processes don't have a child-parent relationship, they are launched manually from consoles.
I tried to install 11.3 today but no luck so far. I installed it 3 times from GNOME liveCD and once from a LiveUSB both didn't work. With the CD, it restarts before installing initrd, GRUB tells me : error 15 : file not found. I verified both the image I downloaded via md5 and the CD I made and they both are OK.
I am using kppp in ubuntu10.10 to connect via my samsung c3010 mobile and Airtel connection. But when I dial through it, it terminates on signal 15! Some requests are rejected it seems. I am pasting the log:

I am connecting the modem over USB. The GUI shows me it is dialling the number, and then connecting to the network, and after a while ( it sends it 9 times it seems) it terminates.
We are running Ubuntu on VMWare EXS Server 3i (32 bit server). We tried upgrading from Version 9.4 to 9.10. The server will not boot. It throws networking errors then just comes to a blank black screen.
Here is most of the screen: /dev/sda5 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. (note - this is due to having turned it off at the black screen - that much I get) /dev/sdd1: recovering journal /dev/sdb1: recovering journal /dev/sdc1: recovering journal /dev/sdb1: clean, 74772/6553600 files, 15793957/26214055 blocks (check in 5 mounts) /dev/sdd1: clean, 22599/6553600 files, 15036060/26214055 blocks /dev/sdc1: clean, 381500/13107200 files, 34291998/52428119 blocks Filesystem checks are in progress (ESC to cancel): ***** here is where I think things are going bad ************ init: network-interface (eth0) pre-start process (535) terminated with status 1 init: network-interface (eth0) post-stop process(61 terminated with status 1 init: network-interface (lo) pre-start process (615) terminated with status 1 init: network-interface (lo) post-stop process(62 terminated with status 1 /dev/sda5: 105/124496 files (34.3% non-contiguous), 18894/.248976 blocks mountall: fsck /boot [410] terminated with status 1 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/FileU32-root: clean, 69429/734400 files, 540860/2933760 blocks init: networking main process (70 terminated with status 1
Just like the title says, if I were to try to run anything through gksu and accidentally put in an incorrect password, instead of the gksu window coming up again, it would just terminate.

I chose Mint 8 Fluxbox and have the iso. I cannot figure out how to check the iso for errors and the MD5 signature.I'm using Windohs XP so I tried to install MD5sum.exe. When I double click on it to run it all it does is flash and then nothing.When I type in the commands it says it can't find it or it can't read it or something.I may be typing the commands incorrectly. I'm just not understanding.I need to check the iso for errors but can't understand how to check it.
I run Ubuntu 9.04 and was recently told by my university that my computer is massively port scanning the network. I am interesting in learning more about figuring out what is happening to stop it, but I am lost at where to begin. What steps should I take (or files to look at) to figure out what is happening?
I'm writing and correcting API documentation in Sphinx using reStructuredText. Does anyone know of a good spellchecker that will handle this format, or a bunch of Unix/Linux tools that will allow me to use Aspell with it?
