i have a dell inspiron laptop lap top with windows7 os.my hardisk is 320gb capacity.now i want to install fedora as my secondary os. I tried fedora12 but instaltion terminated abnormally with the message safe reboot needed recievied signal 3. i have 20 gb unallocated space in my disk.
View 5 RepliesInstalled Fedora 15, ran the updates, so everything is by default, so the .bashrc file just runs the version in /etc
sftp gives me an error message too long.
I went into to the .bashrc file and commented out the call to the /etc version and I still get the sftp error.
How can this be fixed?
I'm new to fedora, but had installed it once before on machines for my class. I am now trying to install fedora on my PC at home, but every time I run the disk and chose install from the main screen all I get is a bunch of text and then it says "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"

I have 3 monitors and am trying to get the Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital signal splitter with my Linux workstation. When I connect them all I get are blinking green lights on the monitors which I think means no signal. Do I need to download a Linux driver? I've searched online but can't find anything. Maybe the problem is something else. Same happens when trying to connect to my PC.

I just recently upgraded my computer from fedora 11 => 12.After moving /home to a separate partition the installation was very simpel.I only had to reconnect my windows system.BUT a strange problem has started to appear.
1) Booting to grub is no problem at all ( I have configured grub to be able to select windows if I want)
2) I always see the grub count down on my screen.
3) then there is a lot of discaccesses but the screen with the fedora symbol is not seen and then my monitor goes to sleep.
4) I usually(always) have to turn my computer off and try again at least three times before the screen with the fedora-sign is seen.
5) If the fedora-sign lights up I have no problem with login and use of the computer.
There seems to be a very unstable situation between grub and XwindowsHas anyone a solution or at least a explanation?
Installed rhel 5.3 on dell r710 with md1000 as das.
After creating raid 0 + 1 and rebooting, received an error message below:
So my computer works reasonably fast running XP (old 3GHz processor with 512RAM), but every so often it simply freezes. I've tried all I can to fix this, but sometimes when I boot up XP it'll get to the window's logo then freeze, sometimes it'll get all the way to the desktop and then freeze, and sometimes it'll start up, run fine for an hour or two then freeze. By freeze, I mean the screen doesn't update, the keyboard and mouse do nothing. Updating NVIDIA drivers doesn't seem to help - some make it worse! So I've had enough, and decided to download Wubi to try Ubuntu on it. I'm not ready to remove windows just yet (lots of data on this machine) and so I don't really want to try dual-booting yet.
Wubi downloads and runs in Windows fine. When I go to restart, after picking Ubuntu from the menu it shows a little text (I think about installation, and press Esc for menu) then my monitor gives a "No Signal" message. So I try restarting (pressing the button), and pressing Esc to bring up the menu. I tried all 5ish options, and "Safe graphics mode" and "ACPI workarounds" seem to last longer, but the same error occurs, before it has even prompted me (still doing its own thing). So I can get up to GRUB, and even get into the grub> prompt. I tried adding irqpoll and/or all_generic_ide to the boot thing (pressing e in the grub menu), but that hasn't helped. I'm unsure of how to find what hardware my computer has (only computer, don't have receipt), but I know "NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT".
I'm debugging some C++ code, but as I know very little about it, I can't find the problem.Here the debugging output:

I have some large volumes that I don't want to automatically be e2fsck'd when I reboot the server. Is it safe to change maximum mount count to -1 and check interval to 0 while a volume is mounted, or will that cause problems to the file system?

Everything appears to be running fine on my system. This message is more nuisance that a functionality message. But I could be wrong.

I burned the USB, I followed every single instruction the site had, and even though the installation seemed to work, and a message to reboot my computer appeared at the end, the installation finally fails. When I reboot, the only thing I get is a black screen with an underscore at the top left corner. I tried the installation four to six times and even tried older versions as well but all I get is the black screen.

Whenever I boot up Fedora 15 on Virtual Box, I get the message " gnome 3 could not load " and I installed all the packages needed to install Guest Additions, but even when I mounted the file, the ONLY file I could find online that was VMBoxGuestAdditions.iso or something like that, I mounted it, I tried installing, but nope, it gives me an error message that it can't. I have the latest version of VirtualBox and I've been on several forums and looked at many places but I can't fix it. I also have a problem where when I boot it up it says " the system is optimized to support 32 bit but it is currently 64 bit go here and click this to fix it " or something like that. and I can't figure out how to fix it in Virtual Box.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter customizing my .bashrc for a nice pretty shell locally I decided I wanted it to look nice remotely to I created a ~/.bash_profile in my home directory so I wouldn't have to type bash upon logging in I'd just be greeted with my colors and customizations. I placed the files on 2 remote locations and ssh'd in and worked just like it wanted it to, later that same day I tried to sftp in to one of the locations and it kept disconnecting me after I'd input my password, but I could still ssh in just fine. After trying a few suggestions from the web like [URL] with no success I decided to ask some friends. They narrowed it down to the motd and echo's in my .bashrc. Finally I asked a very experienced developer about it and so without further adue here is the .bashrc / .bash_profile
BASHRC:
Code:
PS1='[e[0;32m]u[e[1;34m]@h[e[m] [e[1;34m]w[e[m] [e[1;32m]$[e[m] [e[1;37m]'
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
[code]....
Unfortunately I forgot to mention to get it to launch the terminal with the greeting / fortune you have to have the echos uncommented in the .bashrc locally, or know more about shell scripting than I [wouldn't surprise me at all if someone is able to expand upon my bashrc and fix my minor problem] and have it not echo or execute fortune on sftp only somehow. So if you have fortune uncommented be prepared to be unable to sftp IN to the box that it is uncommented on.
Just installed my first version of Ubuntu via the internet. All attempts to install applications (devise manager)/plugins (Banshee)have failed and I'm a little dispondent as I haven't much idea what's going on yet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAt first I tried the using the CDROM to install the server but around 8% through it could not talk to the CDROM anymore. I did attempt this a few times including re-seat the CDROM and it stopped at the same point every time. I then used the Mini install and that worked. However, after I rebooted I received the this error.

I then reboot from this point by issuing the reboot command and can then go into the rescue login with networking. I did select reconfigure GRUB and rebooted but same error as above.

I have a working RHEL in /dev/sda1 and a newly constructed Ubuntu Lucid in /dev/sda2. I'm going to edit the grub config and reboot the server into the new Ubuntu. However, I'm not 100% sure that the new distro can boot. And since my only way to access the server is via SSH, I need the network to be up too.
How can I configure Grub and Ubuntu so that if the server fails to boot, it will automatically reboot into the old RHEL? Currently using GRUB 0.93, but I can upgrade it if needed.
Update: In the end, no boot failure occured. But without the insurance from this, I wouldn't have attempted [URL]..
I am fairly new to linux and my laptop froze so I rebooted it and now I have this error. I have tried to load the files needed using the prompt but nothing seems to work so here is my bootinfoscript thing. Any way for me to reinstall ubuntu over the sda5 partition but keep my files?

My server is opensuse 11.1 I recently wrote a small script to quickly shut down or reboot my server (I needed this because I need to close an application manually before shutting down. The shutdown line in the script was: /sbin/shutdown -r now When I tested the script (as root) from the console terminal, It worked just fine but after reboot strange things started to happen if I logged in as root - while the mouse works, the keyboard freezes (rebooting the server does not help). While I can still use console terminal, if I try to start any application that requires root permission or log in as root from my sftp client then I will get an error on the server that says; broadcast message from root (time & date), the system is going down for reboot now! I have since commented out level 6 in my inittab, so that now when root sends a reboot signal and It shows the message about going to reboot, it does not actually go into reboot anymore because of the commented out line but that is ofcourse not an healthy way to go about it.

I've tried a lot of different things to get mysql working again, but am running into all kinds of problems. First mysql won't shut off properly (it does startup with the computer but I can't connect to it at all) during an aptitude purge. If I kill the process mysql seems to purge properly, but I guess this is not the case because I wasn't able to install it then.
Things seem to have gone a bit more smoothly this time, however:

My computer is a Compaq Presario 2110CA. When installing Ubuntu 10.10, after the installation is complete, I select the option to reboot. During the shutdown procedure, the CD drive ejects the installation CD. I/O error messages fill the screen. This isn't what troubles me, since this issue is taken up in other posts and forums. When I press Enter, the laptop reboots as it's supposed to.
Once Ubuntu reboots, it prompts me for login information. After entering my username and password, it plays the startup sound, gives one warning pop-up about the health of my battery, and then the screen stays on the default background only. There are no mini-indicators for wireless connectivity or shutdown/suspend options - just the background. The cursor shows up, too.
I have tried to install gnome-core from the console. I have also tried to make clean, fresh DVD copies of the installation .iso. Each time, because of the CD ejecting during the initial reboot, I arrive at a blank desktop background. What is the best way to properly complete the installation so I can begin enjoying Ubuntu?
I thought I would give Linux a try so I installed Opensuse 11.3.
I used the automatic setup and accepted all default settings on a new HD. At end of installation I clicked Firefox and received a "no server" message.
The only info I found was in KDE Chapt. 17 by Lauri Watts. She says that if I have IP, gateway, submask, and dns numbers, Internet connection is easy but she tells nothing about using the numbers. I have those numbers.
How do I get online?
I have a no-proxy, static service.
Why-oh-why-oh-why would an installation end without an online connection? Or at least easy-to-find instructions to get online?
I had to disconnect the new Linux HD and connect to this old Windows HD to contact you.
I'm taking a class this semester on Linux and a Fedora 13 DVD came with the book. Just now I've installed Fedora at home and started the updates. I saw a PAE entry in the updates so I went to the Terminal and typed uname -r and I see that the Fedora 13 DVD installed a PAE kernel on my machine that has only 1 GB of RAM.
Why did it do that?
Can I swap out the PAE kernel for a non-PAE kernel? (edit- I'm a Linux noob so I don't know)
Does it really matter?
After the updates I was going to try to install the proprietary Nvidia driver.
