Last week, I wanted to view a web page that requires Internet Explorer to navigate through and decided to install wine and a compatible version of IE that was supposed to work according to a website I found on the matter.I've removed Wine using the Ubuntu Software Center, but still can not do updates.
View 2 RepliesI often struggle to fix small problems (networking, printers, graphics, etc.) because I can't remember all the cryptic sysadmin configs and tools.Is there a smart tool or wizard that can diagnose 1 or more of these areas? I'd like a tool that figures out why I can't connect to the network. Either it solves the problem or explains the issues to me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI been trying all day to boot debian on a lvm partition on a raid1. I have found some howtos but they only show how to do it for one or the other not both at the same time. Using those howtos I think I have grub2 setup right the problem is my kernel. It has support for both LVM and Raid built-in. I setup the raid and lvm partitions while running that kernel. But when I use it to boot up the system on the lvm/raid it gives a kernel panic.
The OS is by itself on an old disk sda1. The raid1 is on two other disks sdb1 & sdc1. It is divided into 2 logical partition vg-root & vg-media. I just copied the OS onto vg-root. Then tolled grub to boot to it. The grub entry is like so..I tried setting root=(md0) but that didn't work either. I'm pretty sure the problem is with the kernel but I don't see why since it can it can see the raid and lvm partitions once it is booted up and both the raid & lvm options are built into the kernel so it should be able to see them at boot time.

Originally Posted by van 2.0 If you are not having a problem with Samba and have nothing to offer the OP in his bid to solve the problem then your post is not relevant to the discussion. The reason I asked you to point out where SELinux has been mentioned is that those are the docs of an Enterprise OS and any relevant steps would be included.I see you are new to SELinux, but interrupting a post to point out something unrelated does not help, it just adds confusion and consternation.I think that, perhaps in your your zeal to serve as police officer of the relevance trees, you've failed to see the forest. It could be that I was not sufficiently clear in my first post here, so I'll explain it very, very slowly and carefully, so as not to cause any you any further confusion.
The original poster is unable to access his Samba shares. The original poster does not understand why and seems to think that it is configured correctly. Other posters have added suggestions about smbpasswd and testparm to check for correct syntax. Presumably, these things have not yet solved the problem, since the OP has not returned to say the problem is solved, though you linking to one of the first links that would appear in a google search for redhat and samba was no doubt wildly and extraordinarily helpful.
So, I had an idea. I recognized that, in a crazy plan to make a functional OS, the authors of Linux had allowed more than one binary to execute simultaneously. This means, that SELinux and samba can both run at the same time. Now, stay with me here - if SELinux is not configured to allow permissions for the samba user on the Samba share.... "permission denied" log errors can occur in Samba. Now, that sounds familiar for some reason. Hmmm... oh, yeah! That was what the original poster mentioned! And, I just dealt with that exact problem, caused by insufficient SELinux permissions!I knew there was a method to my madness.So, anyway, adopting your own ironically sanctimonious tone, I hope you've learned a lesson today that can improve the quality of your posting. This lesson is two-fold: (1) it's not especially good form to quibble with someone trying to help in good faith and (2) if you are going to, it pays to have something tangible to offer to go along with your condescension.No need to thank me - helping you be a better poster is its own reward, and I'm rapidly losing interest in anything you have to say in general, anyway. From what I've seen, it's not anything I couldn't find in under 10 seconds on google.
I just bought a Intel D525MW ITX board, a PicoPSU and a stick of 2GB ram.
I burned the new stable debian netinst to a disk and booted it up from a usb cdburner. At this point I had a usb keyboard and a usb kingston pen drive (temporary / ) connected. The computer would freeze whenever I chose a menu item. I rebooted a couple of times, same thing. I disconnected the usb pen and were finally able to start a graphical install. I quickly reconnected the pen and the install went fine as far as I could see.
Now. When I boot from the pen it just freezes showing "GRUB lading. Welcome to GRUB!" and a blinking underscore.
I were able to boot the usb pen on my Alienware laptop just fine - although it wanted a reboot after it ran a fsck.
I'm having a lot of trouble finding a good Linux Distro that will work with my Toshiba A505-S6020. Here are some specs
i5-430M Intel Processor
4 GB RAM
NVidia Graphics Card
Realtek Network Adapter
One of the big problems I'm having is with the Network Adapter. It won't work with Ubuntu or any Ubuntu based distros. Backtrack 4 won't even start for me (there's a problem with the ACPI, and I'm not sure how to turn it off on Backtrack). Is there any distribution that I won't have to mess with the Kernels too much (I tried Gentoo, but that was a bit over my head)
I have a 3dsp pci wifi card, and the last kernel it supports is Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-(21-24) I want to update but dont want to accidentally update the kernal.

I had installed Ubuntu Studio to check it out alongside my normal KDE system, and have decided to remove it. Problem is, having installed GNOME, I also got programs and libraries I no longer want or need alongside my existing KDE ones (ex. File Roller and Ark, I don't really need both, so I removed FR; I've removed other such programs I know about, as well). But I don't know all the programs or libraries that are still on here; in my package manager with a filter set for only installed programs I see a lot when I search 'gnome', but I'm wary of uninstalling things when I don't know what they do or if they're being used (I do have GNOME applications; I prefer Pidgin so I chose that over Kopete, for instance).
I ran apt-get uninstall ubuntustudio-desktop but despite the install process taking about 20 minutes it removed it in about 20 seconds...and seeing all these programs weren't removed along with it, I can see why. Is there a way I can remove all these things? They're taking up room and I'm not using them. I already did apt-get autoremove, as well. Anything else I can do to find and remove these programs besides reading through every single entry in my package manager's list of installed programs?
I am having problems installing Java runtime on karmic. The problem is: jre depends on the bin, and the bin depends on the jre package... Anyway to solve that? Should I try forcing? I can't get Ubuntu to connect to the internet, so I downloaded the deb packages and put them on a USB stick.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLinux (Ubuntu) is not providing any updates for Java Runtime Environment! According to what I find on my computer, I have Java build 1.6.0_15-b03. Ubuntu Software Center is indicating 6-15-1 (sun-java6-bin). I have manually downloaded JRE 6u17 and 6u18 from Sun. However, I have not - as yet - attempted to install/update Java myself. First, why isn't Linux providing us end-users with the updates as they are published? I thought that, for the sake of ensuring "STUFF" is up-to-date and SECURITY reasons, that the (or some other place) would be providing updates as they occur. I have just started Ubuntu - my ranking - "kindergarden at best"! I still have not been able get the "handle" on the "command line (codes)" structure and usage. I am so use to the Windows way of installing, updating, and upgrading software that Linux (Ubuntu) is causing quite a bit of consternation; just plain frustrating and confusing! I have been trying, and seeing, so-called instructions of how to install/update Java but there are just too many "assumptions" being interposed by the author(s). I just wish, and want, straight forward, step-by-step instructions in the "how to" department - written in plain language, for the complete novice (brand new to Linux). So, here's my question ... how do I manually update/upgrade (or install) Java RE on Ubuntu? Do I have to remove, add, change anything? I'm sure that there are others in the Linux world that are in need of some straight forward assistance. I want to continue using my Ubuntu and honestly, would like to be more proficient in it's use. But in the meantime.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use Ubuntu 10.04 update, but have forgotten the password. If I could get the GRUB prompt, I could use a method I picked up somewhere, but where is the GRUB prompt, which I understand is a bootloader? My installation is single installation on a single partition. I press ESC before the Splash Screen, but just get a square bracket and pressing ESC makes no difference, to the continued boot process, except perhaps make it a little slower. I can use the Desktop and the software I use works fine. There is also something about a 'ring' that requires a password, which I also don't know.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulties to mount my NAS (zyxel nsa210) on startup.

(Not on my desktop since i disabled it). BUT this works not after booting up...meaning there is nothing like NAS in "Places" and i have to mount it manually by using the "sudo mount -a"-command...there is nothing automatic about this solution...So now my question for everyone capable of answering me: "Where did i go wrong? i have installed smbfs and the folder where the NAS should be mounted in actually exists, so the usual suspects should be ruled out i guess
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to rebuild a kernel module and I'd like the module to be compatible with the ubuntu distributed kernel.I tried something along these lines:
* get the sources via: apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic
* cd to the unpacked (and patched, I believe) directory: cd linux-2.6.35
* take kernel config that I'm currently running (I'm running 2.6.35-24-generic): cp /boot/config-2.6.35-24-generic .config
* build the module I care about: make drivers/usb/class/usblp.ko
The module is built, but when I try to load it, insmod fails and I see this in dmesg: usblp: no symbol version for module_layoutI tried to generate the kernel config via debian/rules genconfigs, which resulted in the same config file (with the exception of the local version string). I tried building some other modules and loading them, but I always get that error on loading.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently had a problem where for some reason I couldn't boot into my computer. Long story, shorter, I just reinstalled Ubuntu and I am fine with that. The problem now is, Grub2 doesn't recognize my windows7 hard drive and subsequently doesn't make an option for it in the boot menu.
My setup is this:
Hard Drive(A): 500GB Windows 7
Hard Drive(B): 320GB (no OS, formatted in NTFS and is used as storage)
Hard Drive(C): 2TB Ubuntu 11.04
The HD that isn't being seen by Grub2 does show up on Gparted and is accessible through Nautilus simply by clicking on the drive and it does the usual mounting. I have tried reinstalling grub-pc. Here is one error I get that I was able to copy:

Here is the problem: when I connect it to my laptop (Dell XPS M1530 with nVidia GeForce 8600M) I can use the Nvidia Settings Manager to view and use both screens, but on the Samsung screen there are lighter colored blurry lines that race up and down. You don't see this so much on lighter windows, but any darker color shows them clearly. This is a constant whether I set the refresh rate on "auto" or 60 kH (which is what the manufacturer says it should be).I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of this problem. I am fair to middling on my Linux experience, but this is the first time I have wrestled with dual monitors and I'd really appreciate any pointers The screen is great, but the flicker is distracting to say the least.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just recovered my desktop Ubuntu system, thanks to SuperGrub, and Larryfroot, who pointed me to it. It had crashed due to an incomplete install to a pen drive, but prior to this I had made some changes to my partition layout, and now if such moves could cause the problems I'm having now.I wanted to be able to access my pictures, music, and projects while testing different Linux distros from CD or pen drive (DreamLinux looks much like the Mac interface, which I like, it's rated for speed, gotta try), but I've not been able to do that from any which I've tried yet. I learned somewhere that replacing the unused bulk of the OS partition with a big FAT32, and moving your files to that drive should make them accessible to most systems. I just viewed my files from the DreamLinux distro CD, so it seems to be working. I knew the action on this type of partition would be slower, and it really is when I move files to it, so is there a better way to get what I want than this?I have since had the following annoyances from Ubuntu's Nautilus file browser, and am wondering if the drive changes had anything to do with the following:
1. I am getting error messages when I try to move files to this drive through the Nautilus GUI file browser, but then these errors are wierdly negated when the file transfer is performed anyway. Well, I should be happy that it does what I ask, but where are these false error messages coming from?
2. It gets even more strange - when viewing files on Fat32 through Nautilus, in my Ubuntu hard drive partition, the file window has a banner which states "These files are on a Picture CD". Huh??? I know where I moved my files to, and they are not on CD! What is a "Picture CD" anyway?
Can anyone find a logical explanation for these weird messages, or does it look as much to you like corruption damage?
