I'm trying to run 9.10 from my flash drive, but it won't load properly. I end up with repeating messages of "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0", and "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" for a bit, then it goes away, and then repeats "This is normally a bug some applications using the D-Bus library. process normally arguments to dbus_pending_call_set_notify() were incorrect, assertion "pending != NULL" failed in file dbus-pending call .c line 596." really fast, and keeps on repeating until I manually shut my laptop off.
I installed Drupal and there is only one site. It I access the website [url] where Drupal is installed I can easily see it functioning properly. But on internet it is not loading properly the colors etc are not visible properly.
Firefox starts to load, the window appears, but then hard drive keeps running for ever and ONLY thing that can be done is to click on Close Window, which will stop hard drive and get back to the desktop.
Suggestion posted to Delete ".mozilla/firefox" folder from my home directory worked initially,but the problem reappeared some time ago.
Other applications in Ubuntu seem to work OK.
How to correct this problem permanently - other than going to a different O.S.?
I am using Lenovo G550 laptop wid Intel Dual Core 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, etc. Earlier I had 2 partitions 187GB (Windows 7) and other 33GB of Lenovo drivers. I split 187GB to 143GB (Windows 7) while remaining 44GB for Ubuntu 10.10!
Everything's been working fine except for internet. I am unable to load many https sites like fb, hotmail, etc. Gmail is working absolutely fine.
I did some research on this forum and disabled ipv6! I also checked for firewall and it was disabled. Then I also configured Open DNS and checked if it is working fine. But nothing has helped.
When I connect to these sites without 's' in https (i.e. only http) these sites load fast. I enter my username n password and then I am redirected to a compulsory https site which then takes me to a page like this (shown in thumbnails)! I have tried Chrome n Firefox 3.6 (which have SSL and TLS checked in preferences)! All these sites are working fine on Windows 7. But I don't want to use Windows 7 every now and then because it has become too slow and boring! Please help me with this.
I connect to internet using DSL wired (BSNL Broadband 256Kbps)
I am new to this forum, so apologies if this question has been asked before or is placed in the wrong section. Hey there, I am running Fedora 14 on a 64-bit system (laptop). Upon logging in, (it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is an initial log-in or returning from logging out), the top and bottom GNOME panels occasionally 'miss' loading a few things, or loads them improperly. As an example, the Notification Area may be missing, and I will have to re-add it manually to the blank spot where it should have loaded. I have also had issues with the Workspace Switcher loading improperly and the System Monitor not loading at all.To note, this does not happen every time, but it occurs often enough to become an inconvenience. More often than not I will have to log out and back in again to fix an improperly loaded section of the panel(s).
I am running Centos 5.5 X86_64 and recently after updating my server, I am having problem loading gnome. When the server boots, and begins to bring up the login screen theme, I get an error that states "Could not recognize the image file format for /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower/background.png" I am able to login after clicking ok to this message, and using the "simplistic" login manager. But when the users desktop loads, there are several errors pertaining to "unsupported image format" and none of the icons are displaying correctly. They are just the default "curvy page" icon for an unassociated file type. Some of the icons do not even show up at all.
Another thing I noticed wierd is that when I try to view a png, nothing happens. When I try to open one using gimp, I get an "unsupported file type" error. When I tried to click on the "add/remove software" button I get prompted for root pass, but nothing happens. So, I tried launching pirut from CLI, and I received the following error:
Quote:
[root@server ~]# pirut Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 41, in ? from pirut import *
I got a new laptop, this is the one: [URL] and decided that I wanted to go with Fedora instead of Ubuntu with this computer. The laptop runs win 7 64 bit so I'm trying to go with Fedora 64 but it will not boot. I first installed Fedora 12 64 bit from the DVD install and it would go to grub fine but when I boot the fedora os It just stops in the middle of the boot script. When it stops, the last 4 lines are:
I hadn't messed with it for a few weeks and yesterday I saw that 13 was out, so I downloaded and burnt the Fedora 13 64 bit CD. I popped it in, booted the computer and it did the same crap. It didn't stop at the same line but it was around a line with: ? kernel_init So I guess the kernel isn't loading properly or something. Do ya'll think I would be better off using the 32 bit?
Bought a lovely new Logitech MX3200 keyboard recently, didn't expect to be able to use all the media keys on it. I was surprised, then, when I discovered HIDPoint, some software for configuring the hotkeys on many Logitech keyboards, and more surprised when I saw that mine was on the supported devices list. Anyway, HIDPoint is only available for up to Ubuntu 9.10, and refuses to install properly in 10.04.Here is the output when I try to run the installer:

I put Jolicloud on a pendrive to install it to my laptop, tried it out, didn't like it, and installed ubuntu with a CD instead. Now I want to use my pendrive for storage, so I popped it in, loaded up Gparted and formatted the drive.
Now, when I pop the pendrive into my laptop, Ubuntu thinks that Jolicloud is still on it, when Gparted says there are no partitions on the pendrive.
I have a decrypted DMG file and want to mount it on /mnt/ramdisk. I ran file on it and it shows as it should:

Few weeks ago I installed Linux Ubuntu 9.10 and everything was fine. However, Iḿ now triyng to install programs from the Ubuntu Software Center and it does not work properly. I just select the program I want to install and press the button, but I do not get a response. Net connection is ok, so the problem is somewhere else.
I have problems with setting my JAVA_HOME variable. I am using Slackware 12.0, bash shell. I have set JAVA_HOME in my /etc/profile, like this:
But when I login in with my user name and type env on the command line, I get for JAVA_HOME the following:
Also, in my /etc/profile I have put the path to my java in the PATH variable, like this:
And when I type env when I login, then the PATH variable contains correctly the path to the jdk (as I have put it into /etc/profile).
I expect that after I have set everything as I want in /etc/profile, and restart the computer then what I have set will be relevant and when I login and type env, I will get values to the variables equal to those I have set in /etc/profile. Why it does not happen?
I have particularly a problem with a Java application, which I want to run. When I type ant, I get: error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.

I'm trying to run a script on session start, so I added it to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.The script does run, but some of the commands inside don't appear to run at all. If after startup I open a terminal and run the script manually, it runs fine!

(Using Archlinux) I downloaded Ruby 1.8.7-174 a while ago and installed it via the tarball (not pacman). I was trying to update to 1.8.7-299, but I can't get it to work. Per the readme, I do the following steps, all of which complete without error:
./configure make make install
After install finishes however, I still have -174 installed instead of -299.
there are different methods for securing based on home versus professional computers. My questions generally pertains to securing home desktops, but professional protection is definitely welcome :) Knowledge is power. Ever since moving to the wonderful world of Linux a couple years ago, I never even really thought about security. Seeing as most low-life scum make viruses for Windows machines seeing as they're more abundant.But how do I know if I'm safe/secure from anyone who want's to get at me or my stuff. I know that anyone who is determined enough to get in will, there's no question about that. But what steps can I take to ensure I'm protected from things like rogue root shells and automatic attacks? Also, is there a sort of built-in firewall/antivirus in more Linux distros?
I know this question is quite broad seeing as there are tons of ways someone could compromise your system, but maybe you could share what you did to make sure you were safe.I decided to not allow root login via ssh and to change the port is listens on to something random. Hopefully this a step in the right direction. Currently looking at iptables and shutting down services.
I'm trying to use zenity and at to make a little reminder script. The problem is that while zenity --info works fine from bash (or sh), running echo "zenity --info" | at now + 1 min does nothing. The job shows up in my atq and then runs, but no zenity pop-up. What's going on?
I am currently trying to make a front-end (client) for xmms2. However, I have run into a road block. I need to get the current number of seconds of the current playing song, so one would think to use:

I'm using Gnome 2.30.2 with Ubuntu 10.4 would like to shut down X Windows properly. Using sudo init 3 from console 1 or a terminal on the Gnome desktop results nothing. There are a bunch of ways of doing accomplishing this that I've seen, but the most recommended methods each cause the same errors. The methods that I've used are sudo service gdm stop, sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. After these commands are run I receive the following message: gdm stop/waiting.
Then I switch to console 7 & notice that the screen is frozen & has the following information:
There is a blinking cursor below this message & the terminal does not respond to any command including Ctrl z.
These are the same messages that are normally quickly displayed when linux normally boots.
I disabled the battery power option in & removed other unnecessary startup processes from System, Preferences, Startup Applications. I've tried running the gdm stop commands from terminals 1 & 2 as well as consoles in X Windows & it produces the same results. For some reason though, the gdm commands do work when I used the restart option.
I've tried setting up BIND from a fresh install. I've followed a few tutorials (all seem to follow a similar routine), but it doesn't appear to work properly.
This is what happens when I query my domain: [URL]

I've compared both files to examples and they don't appear to be any different - I'm at a loss as to what is wrong or where I should start to troubleshoot it.
