General :: Booting Ubuntu Running In W7, It Worked Ok For About 2 Months?
Dec 30, 2010
Does anyone know how I might enable my boot to Ubuntu again? Here is what I have found but do not know what I should fool with. I thought I would ask for help before I screw it up worse.I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 installed inside W7 effectivly creating a dual boot system. It's been running fine for about 2 months. Now when I try to boot into Ubuntu by selecting the boot Ubuntu option in the Windows Boot Manager, it fails and goes back to Windows Boot Manager. There are 2 screens that flash by in about 1/2 a second when enter is pressed after the ubuntu selection and before it reverts again to the Boot Manager. With the help of a camera and good timing, I captured a picture of the text displayed.
The first screen displays;Try (hd0, 0) NTFS5 No wubildrTry (hd0, 1) NTFS5 _The second screen displays;error unknown command loadfonterror file not foundIn the windows C: drive I find the 2 files; C:wubildr created 12/19/10 size 87kbC:wubildr.mbr created 11/7/10 size 8kb (created the date I installed Ubuntu)In C:ubuntuwinboot... I find the same two files with the same size and creation dates as in the windows c: drive. In addition I also find a file, C:ubuntuwinboot.wubuildr.cfg, created 11/7/10, size 2kb, described as a MS Office Outlook configuration file.There are also a files;C:ubuntudisksootgrub but the grub directory is empty. The grub directory was created 11/7/10. Should there be a file in the grub directory?

OS: Ubuntu Server x64 10.04 Apache: 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4 I have a virtual server which has been running for months with no problems then one day I saw that it crashed and I had to power cycle it. Since then I have been unable to start Apache as it segfaults no matter options I give it. Before I try to reinstall Apache, why is this segfaulting?
Code:
execve("/usr/sbin/apache2", ["/usr/sbin/apache2"], [/* 21 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0x7f9f48f8d000
access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f9f47e0d000
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
[Code]...

I run alot of Linux running in memory. Mainly by PXE booting a kernel and the entire OS as the "initrd" file.
I have a RHEL6 image running as a VirtualBox guest and the entire OS (minimal) is contained withing 1GB of disk. I wan't to boot the entire /dev/sda1 "/" (its the only partition on the drive, no swap) as the initrd file and run everything from memory. But grub won't let me. So before I try and re-invent the wheel I thought to post here first.
Details. RHEL 6 as guest in VIrtual BOX. configured with 3Gb memory. HD is single partition and known as /dev/sda1.
at the grub console. I issue
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19.el6.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0
initrd (hd0,0)
But the grub windows just freezes. Apparently it doesn't like the fact that I've referenced the entire partition (hd0,0) as the initrd. Any thoughts? Or any better boot loader like SYSLINUX?
BTW, I am not worried about the /etc/fstab mentioning /dev/sda1 at this point, I have a fix for that already. I would like to see grub load up the partition as an initrd.

made a script with funtions, everything worked until 15 minutes ago, and i can't figure out what did go wrong.I think it has to do something with the 3 first rules of code... but for my opinion that should be fine (i used '777' just to be sure)
Code:
test_mount() {
$touch /current_mount

Edit: This problem started when I accidentally used a 64-bit package to upgrade my 32-bit system. I upgraded Firefox, and now it won't start. I don't know where to find any relevant error messages. How do I figure out what's wrong? I downloaded the Firefox update from [URL] and installed it with the command
Code: su -c "upgradepkg mozilla-firefox-3.6.4-x86_64-1_slack13.0.txz" The result was as follows:

I just recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu 10.04, and I remember that Windows had a disk check. I have no problems with my computer, but is it a good idea to run fsck every few months? Does Ubuntu automatically do this for me? Or this unnecessary unless I have a serious problem?

Yesterday I tried to connect using my 3G, it has been working since I installed the computer more than a year ago.
When I try to connect I get the following in the syslog (and daemon.log)
Code:
Jun 5 10:50:21 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) starting connection '3 Bredband'
Jun 5 10:50:21 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 0)
Jun 5 10:50:21 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...
[Code]....
After alot of swearing ang scratching of the head I've resorted to trying this from i live cd, but with the same results. I know I've been able to connect using livecd before so I'm a bit worried that something might have happened with the hardware.
What I'm hoping for though is some way to determine that it is the sim-card and/or something on the operator side that is bork.
how to further pinpoint the issue? And/or troubleshoot the hardware? I should be able to send AT-commands directly to the modem, does anyone know how and/or the syntax for establishing the data connection?
EDIT: I'm using an Asus eee 901 with builtin 3G modem.

I'd like to know how do I rotate the audit logs under "/var/log/audit/audit.log" every 6 month. Currently I have set the parameter inside /etc/audit/auditd.conf to "KEEP_LOGS" (Previously "ROTATE" )and logs files are generated up to the size 5M and never deleted. Do I need to change inside "/etc/audit/audit.rules" file?
[root@RHEL5 ~]# more /etc/audit/auditd.conf
#
# This file controls the configuration of the audit daemon
#
log_file = /var/log/audit/audit.log

it seems Ubuntu can't just BURN CD or DVD. I've used Brasero, GnomeBaker, K3B - They all miserably FAIL.
Plus, they Break My DVD Drives, after trying sooo Many Times, leaves it behind useless.
I bought 3 DVD Drives: Lite-On, Sony and LG. In a span of 3 Months, UBUNTU completely DESTROYED all of them.
I'm not sure why. BUT first, I find Ubuntu can't burn using above Applications. 2nd, DVD stops working.
Error message from K3B, using it, since it's the most stable I've found. cdrdao crashed, file permissions problems, perhaps TAO will fix this, and a lot more of these crap.

I have an intel HDA chipset that desperately wants to work. I have it plugged into my receiver and sound only occassionally works. I say occassionally because I will hear some sound, then my receiver will flash hdmi, as if it is switching to the new stream, I hear silence. Then shortly later, the receiver will provide sound, then again it will 'switch' and i hear silence. To work around this, I had an optical line working and somehow had alsa using ONLY that for the audio (bypassing the HDMI completely). Then one day when I was trying to the audio fixed for some specific application, I broke it! I cannot figure for the life of me how to make alsa ONLY use my optical line. Of course any suggestions on how to get the hdmi to work is even better.

Running Ubuntu headless server 9.10 with a RAID 1 on ext3. After a power failure (UPS power button was hit accidentally), I logged into the system via ssh and found that I had lost all data since my last reboot, which was 4 months ago. It was as if I had a perfect snapshot of my machine from 4 months ago. Everything, database files, logs, all report as if the machine had been off for 4 months. Fortunately, I have quality backups of all my data so I am able to recover, but I have never had such a problem before and I cannot figure out what happened.

I have a Debian Etch machine that was given to me but when it boots up it executes a program that is located on my desktop.
I don't want to move or rename the program but would like to prevent it from starting when the machine starts. Anyone have any idea as to what file I need to edit in order to achieve this?

The default installation of 11.3 has ipv6 enabled.When accessing a site using any browser, there was a considerable delay before the page would appear.I disabled ipv6 and things are normal.Is my computer going to explode in a couple of months from all the backed up addresses? Seriously, Is there something wrong with my setup?Why would ip6 be enabled by default if it slows things way down?There are just so many things I don't know.

We have 4 servers having rhel 5.2. We have several users logged in on one of them. We have nis server/client running on them and have common home area mounted on all of them. Now we want to disable/block the accounts of the users who have not accessed our servers in last 2 months from today.What logic should we apply to do so? We were checking stat of .bashrc of each user but is not correct logic. We are going to write shell script for the same. We dont want to do anything in users home area or their files.

I am using a linux kernel 2.6.36 using mips architecture. I have succesfully booted the machine through Flash memory, but it is not booting through nfs. It is getting stuck at the stage where the image starts loading. In short the vmlinux.img file is being copied properly to nfsroot but the image is not loading.
