Hardware :: EXT4fs Error Occurs Periodically?
Apr 5, 2010
I am running Linux Mint 8 on my Dell Precision 350 computer. Every so often (sometimes every few hours, sometimes every few days, it appears to be random) my desktop will crash and display the message:
"70822.286411 EXT4fs error (device sda1): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #139281: invalid magic - magic 800c, entries 121, max 3278020), depth 171(171)"
This is displayed several times on all of the terminals, but with different numbers each time. When this happens, typing any commands in the terminal result in the error message being displayed again. When I restart after this happens, linux generally displays "Give root password for maintenance (or type control-D to continue):" and I give the root password. Running "fsck /dev/sda1" seems to fix this problem for the next boot, but then it will come back in either a few hours or a few days. Reinstalling the distro does not work, as I have already tried this. I suspect a hard disk error, but before I run out and buy and install a new hard disk, I wanted to know if maybe there is some way to fix this through software.

I esablished a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on separate partitions. Then, as I realised that Windows 7 was rubbish and Ubuntu annoyed me by losing wireless connectivity after an update, I decided to go back to Windows XP for a while. So I did what I probably shouldn't have done, and formatted the partition (or so I thought) with Ubuntu on, using Windows.
Now, on booting up the system, all I can get is the Grub Rescue prompt and nothing in the Bios menus seems to be of any assistance.
I've tried booting XP from a CD, but a blue screen error always occurs at the same point in the installation. I wonder if I should make a CD/external drive with Ubuntu on, reinstall it, and go from there?

During upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, I was asked several times what I wanted to do with menu.lst. I gave the same reply each time: "keep the local version currently installed". I wanted it the way I had when using 8.04; that is, not having the un-customizable grub menu I've experienced before with 10.04.
When I was done installing 10.04 and was going to reboot, the GRUB menu appears as it has before, and the Ubuntu entry says "Ubuntu 8.04", even though it's now 10.04. But when I choose "Ubuntu 8.04", the following error message occurs:
Code:
error sending message: Connection refused
udevadm[900] error sending message: Connection refused
udevadm[901] error sending message: Connection refused
udevadm[902] error sending message: Connection refused
error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon

We are running into issues with a File Upload script written in PHP. We can upload files without issues except with .*x files (such as .docx) We are getting permission denied errors. The error occurs when we use move upload file, to the new directory within our PHP app. If we give the uploads folder 777 access, it works fine without error. I dont like that. So I set it to 775 (Also dont like this), but it didnt work until I gave group ownership to www-data (I really dont like this)
This issue only happens on our production server, which is Ubuntu 9.04, running Apache2.2 and PHP5 will all the newest updates. We also have all MIME's configured, and are able to download the file from Apache without error. The first thing we noticed before the file permissions error, was that the MIME type changed to .zip when we used mime content type function. But yet using the FILES array, it still showed .docx.

I helped with the installation and put a / filesystem of around 20 GB and a /home partition of around 50 GB. He's a gaming freak and and installed lot of games in the last few days so running out of hdd space and he asked if there was a way he could take one of the ntfs partitions out and extend the / partition filesystem from 90 GB to say 220 GB. (The NTFS partition is around 100 GB).
Now one way would be to do everything (again) from scratch and put the filesystem as an lvm, another alternative googling gave me was to use gparted Live CD and extend the / filesystem . The downer seems to be that its possible gparted would mess up other partitions and realign stuff. At least that's what few of the websites I looked up and few people I talked on IRC spoke to me.

I have a bluetooth headset for a cellphone, which I would like to use with my Ubuntu computers. I'm currently trying to do this with a computer running Jaunty. I have successfully paired the headset with the computer. But when I try to send an audio file to the headset, I get the "Sending files via Bluetooth dialogue box, immediately followed by the error message:
Quote: org.openobex.Error.NotSupported and no file transfer occurs. I am able to do other Bluetooth operations with other devices - eg I can send/receive files between the computer and my cellphone. It just seems to me that using a Bluetooth cellphone headset is not supported, or that I am doing something wrong.
UPDATE: I just tried doing this with my other machine running 10.04, with similar results. It looks momentarily like it's going to transfer the file, then reports that "an unknown error occurred". Is it just not possible to use bluetooth headsets for cellphones with Ubuntu computers? That doesn't seem very likely: when the computer detects the headset, it reports it as being a "headset". So why won't it work? What am I doing wrong?

We can use inotify related tools (fam, etc.) to know "when" a file change occurs, but, Can I know where (file position, offset) this change was made? For example, suppose that you have a big file and you are monitoring changes on it, using inotify-tools package or something like that you can take acknowledged if another process chage that file, but How can I know "where" that change was maded in order to avoid read all file content looking for a change maded?

I going through the Python course on Codeacademy. I have some trouble understanding what I'm doing wrong. This is my code below:
Code: Select alldef count(sequence, item):
total = 0
for x in sequence:
return x
if x in sequence:
total += 1
return total
print count([1,2,1,1], 1 )
The code gives me an error: "Oops, try again. Your function fails on count([1],7). It returns 1 when it should return 0."
It should be outputting 3 because 1 occurs 3 times in the list.

i have a problem connecting to the internet at home, but have no problem connecting to the internet in other places. My computer connect ot the router but does not receive aconnection to the internet form the router. this happens both wireless and ethernet. at the same time everybody elses computers (using windows) connect to the internet in my home. i have tried switching between two wireless cards, had the same problem. this makes me think it has something to do with the router itself. i use a Planet WRT-413 router.

I have Apache, MySql server, and phpMyAdmin installed on my desktop. With the default installation of phpMyAdmin, I should be able to log in as root without a password. (Or at least every other time I have installed it, I could.) However, that isn't the case. I can't log in to phpMyAdmin period. I have tried setting the password for root with MySql through the terminal. Still no results. No matter what I do, when I try to log in to phpMyAdmin, I am denied access.
this is a fairly common issue (though I have never encountered it before) as I found similar posts in numerous forums, etc. I finally found a solution and now have it working. In case others have a similar problem, I am posting the solution that I used here. First open a terminal. Then use the following command
Code:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
Substitute NEWPASSWORD with the password that you want to use and then you should be able to log in to phpMyAdmin as root with the new password.

I have to run this page: [URL].., because it fetches the content of some feeds(RSS) and then inserts into Database and then sends SMS texts to subscribed users. when i run it with php-cli in bash like this: php feeds.php?u=y&d=y
I only get:
[4] 11719
but nothing happens, running it like this: black@loopserver:/var/www/loop/cp$ php 'feeds.php?u=y&d=y' Could not open input file: feeds.php?u=y&d=y
Can any one please tell me what to do? I think the problem is coming by passing get parameters, if i just run feeds.php everything goes fine, but I need to pass in those.

I want to use a script to renew my IP every 5 minutes. I have a static IP and it seems that when another person enter the same IP address as mine, my IP is stolen and is assigned to him.
I know that Cron is responsible for running a script at some time interval. How can I use that to renew my IP?

It's a bit unnerving.The monitor suddenly goes black, the keyboard resets, the mouse resets. And after about 2 - 3 seconds all is back to normal.My USB setup is a bit complicated (mostly because I could). A 7 port hub is connected to a USB port on the computer. Among other things, the 7 port hub is connected to a four port hub on the monitor (Viewsonic). The mouse is connected to the 4 port hub. The PS1 keyboard is connected to the PS1-to-USB convertor which is connected to the 4 port hub.

I have a custom .Xmodmap file to change the keyboard layout. The problem is that sometimes the keyboard layout changes back to the default. I have seen the lights on the keyboard blink at times, so I tried unplugging and reconnecting the keyboard and yes - that reset the layout. I can see keyboard removed/detected entries in the logs as well, so I guess my keyboard reconnects sometimes, I don't know why. However the solution from the post earlier (to rename the xmodmap file to ~/.Xmodmap) did not work. So is there another default filename I should use? Or do I have to enable xmodmap to run when a keyboard is plugged in somehow?
The only thing I can think of right now is to monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log for "Adding input device USB Keyboard" and running xmodmap when that happens... but I'm really hoping for a better solution.If I can't fix the xmodmap problem, maybe I can fix the usb disconnects.I read something about power saving settings for usb. After some digging, I found that those settings are in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/. However, disabling autosuspend for the hub did not seem to work (it was already disabled for the keyboard).
But I found something else in kern.log. Perhaps the keyboard disconnects has something to do with static electricity?
Code: Select all[ 7078.175830] usb 1-10-port3: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
[ 7078.175888] usb 1-10.3: USB disconnect, device number 4

I recently updated my girlfriends laptop (and my own) to KDE 4.4 (using the Factory repository). I am also using some additional repositories like PackMan.
I recently read on this forum, that the updater-applet is only updating from the main repositories (the ones set up after install). I would like to update from all updates periodically using "zypper dup".
I read somewhere else, that cronjobs are used to run scripts based on schedules. how I could run "zypper dup" with a cronjob and preferably under root, so I dont have to type the password every time?

I am running a nvidia gt220 video card and dual monitors. The acer monitor blanks out and in periodically. Quite often at times. I believe this is a driver problem. What I am wanting to do is roll back to an older driver. In the nvidia repository I only see the newest one listed and that is the one I am using.
I am thinking the 185 driver is what I have used before without any problems. Really not sure which one it was, but it was an older one. So the question is how can I get back to the older drivers so I can try and see which one it was.

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 installation that I have been using for about a month. However, just recently, at random times for about 5 seconds I can't use my mouse or keyboard.When it does that, the computer isn't frozen, I just can't type.About 5 seconds later, all the text that I was trying to type suddenly appears. I have 4GB or RAM, and even when I barely have any programs running and at 0% of resource usage, the problem still persists. This has just been happening for the past day or so.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 LTS, and my system seems to have developed a weird problem. Every few minutes, especially when I'm using chrome, VLC, or the screensaver is running, Xorg will start to spike in its CPU usage - spikes occur several times per second, and generally go up to 50-100%. Spikes seem to be composed of half "System" and half "User" according to my System Monitor applet thing.
Weirder than the problem is the thing which seems to stop this behavior - going to a terminal which is running top and hitting enter a few times seems to invariably return the CPU usage to usual (within seconds). There does seem to be a ~10 second period where the system monitor shows a few % "System" activity. Xorg starts up again with the same spikes within minutes, however.
EDIT: It looks like almost any keyboard input to any terminal also stops the Xorg CPU use - things which change the state of the other terminal, e.g. hitting the spacebar, typing a letter, will work, while hitting CTRL or SHIFT does not suffice to return the CPU use to normal.
I'm using an NVIDIA proprietary driver (which system->administration->hardware drivers says is (version current) and Recommended). My graphics card is a GeForce 9400 GT. I'm using Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic, and x86_64 Ubuntu. Here's my xorg.conf file:
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@crested) Sun Feb 1 20:25:37 UTC 2009
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Tue Mar 24 06:15:32 PST 2009
