General :: Shell Script - Windows Dir Fails To Mount

Nov 20, 2010

I'm attempting to mount a Windows dir to a mount point on my Linux VMWare instance running on my Windows 7 machine. I am using a shell file to automatically mount the directory I want at bootup. However, I'm finding that Linux always mounts to a directory at the top of my C: file structure for some reason, and I can't figure out why.

Here's the dir structure:
C:/target (don't want to mount this, but this is what gets mounted)
C:/Users/me/target (this is what I want to mount to)

Here's my shell script:
Code:
mount.cifs //192.168.56.1/Users/me/target /mnt/target -o credentials=/root/credentials.auth,domain=mycomputer,uid=1001,gid=1001,rw

And here's what I get when I enter mount at the prompt:
Code:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

If this means anything my Virtual Machine has a single hard drive SCSI, which I believe is /dev/sda1. I don't see anything from mount that would indicate that the c:/target dir is getting hard-mounted somehow from the /etc/vfstab file, but maybe I just don't understand how mounting works...

General :: Tar Gz Shell Script Fails / Get It To Work?

Jul 27, 2010

Someone gave me a script that would tar then gzip my music directory, as well as remove the previous days backup. I have it set up in crontab, but it appears to have stopped working the last couple days, so i tried running it manually. Below is the script and the output I got. Any ideas why its failing now? I don't think anything changed on the server, maybe someone installed updates but idk why that would affect this.

Here's the musicbackup.sh script code...

General :: Launching Application Which Need Another Window Fails From Shell?

Feb 12, 2011

When I try to launch application which runs in another window (not inside shell), it always fails with this kind of message: (example from gnome-terminal)

Code:

** (gnome-terminal:2477): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported Failed to get the session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Falling back to non-factory mode. Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) I am running it as root, have GNOME installed and running, and also fresh install of gconf.

General :: Shell Script Fails To Exit / Troubleshoot This?

Feb 9, 2010

This is a very simple problem, but I'm scratching my head with others..

In composing a simple shell script in class, we can't seem to get the script to execute fully. script was formatted as follows.

#!/bin/bash
echo "good bye for now"
exit

did, Chmod 755 to make executable
type file name "bye"
runs but wont exit.....
it just echos the type"good bye for now
The instructor says it works for him at home....
But it wont work in class...
Is there a reason it wont "exit" the shell as commanded ?

General :: Mount.nfs Fails In Ubuntu / Works On Red Hat?

Aug 13, 2010

I want log in locally to my Lucid (10.04) workstation and have my code saved over the network on my samba account At work, all developers have samba user ids and when we were running Red Hat, we went thru the following procedure to get setup.

* open a shell session to NFS server and execute the "id" command to get my samba user information.

Code:

$> ssh l alberto our_nfs_server
$> id
uid=7090(alberto) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)

* Create locally a login on my Linux workstation with the same login and uid.

Code:

$>sudo useradd u 7090 g 100 d /home/alberto s /bin/bash alberto

[code].....

Code:

mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting our_nfs_server:/d0/homedirs/alberto It does not work at all!!?? However, the same procedure on a RedHat workstation works fine. No errors.

General :: Logging In Non-root Users Fails Either With "no Shell" Or No Directory

Mar 9, 2010

I tried to create a user on Solaris 10 but when I try to login the user with "su -" I get the error message "no directory". When I try to login with "su" I get the error message "no shell".

I tried the useradd several combinations e.g.

All the tries i made didn't work. I also checked the permissions on /etc, /bin, /sbin and / and it seems ok so that the newly created user can access them.

General :: Convert Windows Filenames To *nix Notation - Use It On Shell With Md5sum?

Aug 25, 2011

I have some checksums.md5 verification files from an ntfs external drive, but using windows notation: instead of /, spaces between file names (not escaped), reserved shell characters (like (, &, ', to name a few). The checksums.md5 has a bunch of checksums and filenames:

[code]...

I want to use this checksums.md5 to verify the files that I've copied to my machine: but I'm on a Linux, so I need to convert the names inside checksums.md5 from Windows to Linux to use the md5sum utility from the shell. The first line in my example would become: f12f75c1f2d1a658dc32ca6ef9ef3ffc My Windows & Files (2010)/[bak]/testing.wmv Is there some application for this (converting a file listing, from windows cmd notation, to linux shell notation) or will I need to create a bash script using sed that just "replaces" what is "wrong" with the filenames

I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.10. I am using it to share many hard drives connected to it. I am using Samba. I have successfully shared many folders to one Windows user.

General :: Can't Mount Windows Shares By Name, Only IP?

Apr 4, 2011

I'm mounting a Windows share using the following in Ubuntu: mount -t cifs username=MYUSER,password=1234 //192.168.1.5/myshare /mnt/windows_share


This works fine, but I would like to mount the share using the computer's hostname, not the IP. I can ping the hostname fine, but I mounting using the hostname instead of the IP does not work. The share cannot be found.

In Windows, I can access the share as \COMPUTER\myshare, and using Nautilus in Ubuntu, I can connect to //COMPUTER/myshare, but I can't use the name in the mount command.

Ubuntu :: Script Fails In Cron But Runs Fine In Regular Shell?

Jul 11, 2011

I have an Ubuntu server running Couch Potato, Sick Beard and Sabnzbdplus. Everything "works" pretty well in a sense that CP and SB push the NZB's to Sabnzbdplus, but Sab crashes regularly (haven't found the solution or the cause for this problem, so if you have some advice regarding that, it's welcome).To counter this problem (Sab crashing) I have a script written which checks if Sab is runnning and if it isn't start it:

Code:
bart@Pyro:~$ cat CheckSabRunning.sh

Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Mount Location / Failed To Mount Windows Share

Jul 26, 2010

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Ubuntu v10.04 with a wireless card.My desktop is a Dell Optiflex running WinXP.The desktop is connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. Certain folders on the desktop are set for sharing. Up until early last week I was able to access the desktop folders from the laptop with no issues.Suddenly I am now getting this error "Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share" whenever I try to access the desktop folders from the laptop.I suspect an upgrade is the culprit, but not sure.

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Fails: Can't Find Root Device + Drop To Shell

Dec 27, 2010

From one day to the other my system stopped booting properly. Since I (finally) fixed it, I wanted to share my solution. It runs on a fakeraid pair of SSD's of 60 GB each (actually a single Revodrive device, but it shows up as two devices). When Ubuntu 10.10 boots, I'm dropped to a shell.During boot, when I removed "silent splash" from the kernel's command line, I got these messages:

Code:

[ 4.960240] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA OCZ-REVODRIVE 1.20 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 4.960425] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdg] 117231408 512-byte logical blocks: (60.0 GB/55.8 GiB)

[cod]....

I doubt that this is what was needed (as I had that already when it didn't work, but I might be required in addition to installing dmraid)

# update-initramfs -a

After installing this, the problem was solved!! This is strange since I don't recall uninstalling this package or changing anything important, for that matter (perhaps did apt-get upgrade, but that's about it!). [URL]

Programming :: Perl About System Command / Fails If The Standard Shell Is Dash And Not Bash?

Jun 30, 2011

I am trying to fix a perl script, and I really suck at perl. But I think this problem will be easy for people who know it.

The problem is, I have an old setup script someone wrote many years ago. It fails if the standard shell is dash and not bash. The only way I've gotten it to work is to point /bin/sh to bash. I looked thru the script and it uses "system" many places, and I think that's the problem.

I searched for it and found this link:url

My plan is to include this function:

Code:
sub system_bash {
my @args = ( "bash", "-c", shift );
system(@args);
}
Then I could simply change all calls to system into system_bash and it should work?

The parameter to the system calls is usually some variable. What if the parameter is a list already? Do I need to test for it somehow, and if it's a list, prepend "bash" and "-c" to the list? How do I do that?

In the script there are lots of places like this:

my $error = system($cmd);
if ($error) {
die/warn "some error message";
}

Shouldn't there be a return in the system_bash function?
