View 6 RepliesI want to have apache + php + mysql.My apache does not recognize php and mysql is only partially installed.Php works but not thru apache. The apache conf file has no reference to it.In case it matters, I insalled some security updates that created a defective later version -2.6.32.5 which loops and displays garbage. At startup I interrupt grub and tell it to run the old one. I would remove the defective one but don't know how. I'm an experienced systems programmer with almost no unix time.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI made a mistake installing the most recent distro of Ubuntu. When choosing where to install the loader, I selected "Windows 7 (loader)" instead of the proper default option. Now when I select Windows 7 in GRUB, it just brings me right back to GRUB.
However, my Windows installation and all the files are still present on the disk. The recovery disk doesn't recognize the Windows installation, but all the files are clearly present. I was even able to recover my most important files onto a USB drive using the file browser in the recovery disk.How can I correct this mistake? I need to be able to boot into Windows 7 again.

I cleared the log and then did a tail -f so I could watch it for activity. I then hit my box with anunsuccessful log in attempt. Nothing happened to the log. The uptime of my box is 22 days and the logs that were in it before I cleared it were from months ago.Is there a daemon I can check or another file I can mod to get logs writing again?

Then I copied a bunch of files and directories to it. Now I am unable to recover the files and data. In the rare instances when I perform a sloppy mount I see directories named 001, 002, 003 and 004. These directories variously contain files named 001, 002, 004 (no 003) etc.

After installing Windows 7, the GRUB got re-written by the windows bootloader. Now after booting into the live cd and mounting /boot partition (sda2), I tried to reinstall the GRUB with this command grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda as told by this [URL]
But I got the an error which says, Are you sure /dev is mounted? then i tried the same command on the / partition (sda5) which said, cannot find boot directory, Are you sure /dev is mounted?
And installation failed, now after restarting its just a black screen with grub> prompt.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just tried to burn an ISO to a CD-R in K3B, and it finished with the message "written data in track 1 differs from original." I get that a lot; until now, I blamed it on my failing CD drives . What can I do to avoid it besides burning at a slow speed? I know that, having heard years ago that I should burn at 4x; but my new DVD-RW burner's slowest writing speed is 16x. (I'm annoyed at that. It was a Christmas gift, and I didn't think of specifying a write speed. I wouldn't be surprised if new CD drives can't burn at such a slow speed, though.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used Ubuntu and Fedora and am familiar with Linux for about two years now. I have recently installed Arch Linux on one of my computers, and I like the distro so far. However, I am having an issue with my USB hub. When I connect a mouse and keyboard to the hub, the computer only recognizes input from the device that I plug in first when using a window manager (the keyboard always works when I am not in a window manager). If I disconnect one device, the other device starts working. Both devices appear in dmesg when I disconnect and reconnect them. So the computer is recognizing the devices independently, but input from one device is not received. I have tried this on both Gnome and Fluxbox, with the same result. If I plug both devices directly into the computer's USB ports, both devices work at the same time. The hub works on a Windows 7 system and on an Ubuntu system, so the hub is not faulty.
More information: My keyboard is Microsoft Razer Reclusa keyboard. My mouse is a Logitech Wireless Mouse M215.
Below is the dmesg output that I think is relevant to this issue. Here is the output I get when I plug in my USB hub (without anything plugged into it), then plug in the mouse to the hub, and finally plug in the keyboard to the hub:
Code: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 80
hub 1-4:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-4:1.0: 4 ports detected
usb 1-4.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 81

hub 1-4.1:1.0: activate --> -28
usb 1-4.1.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 83 .....
Interesting to note is that the line that say "usb 1-4.2: reset full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 94" increases in the number of times it appears over time. This happens in both scenarios, with the address number changing appropriately. So for example, when everything is plugged in, and I type dmesg, the line appears five times. Then when I type dmesg again, it appears 11 times. etc., for each subsequent dmesg call until the device is disconnected.
I have installed opensuse 11.3 by DVD (bad ; maybe bad DVD burner HW; tried several times); XKDE live CD (recognized Primary HDD as SDA); and now KDE live CD; originally recognized as SDA; now reinstalled 3 times and always SDB. And it will not boot to anything; and cannot find grub menu list. I do have 2 HDDs, but secondary is just used for personal file storage.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had Fedora 11 running on my PC since shortly after release. I have a DVD-ROM as the Master on the single IDE port on my MoBo and a DVD-RAM as the slave on that port. I also have 4 ea SATA 500GB HDDs using JBOD configuration on the MoBo. When I first installed F 11 I noticed that if I dupped a CD the blank icon would stay on my desktop, even though I had removed it. Also it did not "see" that I had put a new blank in the burner. I would have to reboot to correct. However the system would recognize an audio cd, play it rip or whatever.
Now the first problem I think has gone away but neither drive when I put an audio cd into them will recognize it. The light on the drive will come on and then start flashing as normal, but nothing happens. When I check to see if I can manually mount it, the system comes back with No Media in drive. Anyone have any ideas? This seems to have happened I'd say about 1.5 weeks ago was the last time I know it worked. I suspect an update possibly "broke" something. Any reliable knowledge base as to what actually transpires between the time I put a CD in the drive and the icon pops up and it starts playing or whatever.
I have a quad core computer. The video card, I believe, is a Zotac 9500. I installed Fedora 12 in a dual boot along side Win 7. The problem with the Fedora installation is that it only recognizes video of 800 x 600.

It just won't connect, and I have a valid connection or I wouldn't be able to be on here right now. I've tried 2 cables, still a no go.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed it yesterday, version 10.10, desktop edition, downloaded from Ubuntu's site; running it along side Windows; and love it from the get go, but... I can't get the Flash plugin to work.
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite Pro P505-S8945 with this specs:
2.0GHz Intel Core2 Duo P7350 Processor
400GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit), 4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4570 Graphics
I tried installing the 32bit version on Flash but kept getting error messages about "wrong architecture i386", so, I went to the (sorry if i make a mistake I'm paraphrasing) "Ubuntu software center", the application within Ubuntu where you can go to the repositories and get software upgrades, and I realized that for some reason Ubuntu is recognizing my system as running on an AMD 64 processor, which I'm not! Mind you, I haven't tried to install the 64bit version of flash, just wondering really, the reason why Ubuntu would say that I'm running on a 64bit AMD processor!

I read that synaptic touchpads should support multitouch and as I have one of those I tried to enable it. However I wasn't successful.
After some digging in config files (I had to enable SHMConfig) I ended up with KDE configuration tool which is really cool but all multitouch options are there disabled. And also there is an information which says that only one finger is detected by this touchpad.
Is something wrong or my touchpad just doesn't support multitouch? I got this laptop 1.5 years ago so it's not very old.
And by the way, I have this in my Xorg.0.log

I own a D-Link DI-604 wired router and I've started getting some issues after Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade(Ubuntu 9.04 used to work OK!). The problem is that Ubuntu recognizes all my ethernet cards (see below), but I can only connect to the internet through eth1 not eth0 (which is my Windows default). If I try to plug the cable in eth0 nothing happens (at least not in Ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10).
