Hardware :: "Unable To Open The Initial Device Quitting"
Aug 12, 2010
if I want to print a regular document from the main tray, no problem. If I want to print an 8x11 photo from the main tray. slight problem (might be ink related, still researching that side). But if I want to print a 4x6 or a 5x7 from Linux massive problem Printer: HP Photosmart D5460. Will not print from the Gimp at all, I get the following when I try to print a photo using the Gimp: A page from the main tray with text similar to this:
"****Unable to open the initial device, quitting"
Actually for the last several years under OpenSuSE I have never been able to print a photo from the Gimp. It always prints some text error then quits OR will print the error at the top of every sheet in the tray until the printer either is manually unplugged / turned off OR it runs out of paper. The printer I have is listed as working perfectly according to Open Printing dot org. But none of my applications seem to be able to get the printer tray to operate for the smaller photos. Currently I have to copy the images to a card in the printer then print from the card. Unacceptable if you ask me.[URL]... what photo capable printer out there actually works 100% with OpenSuSE? And I mean I can access all the trays from all the applications I could possibly use, as well as monitor ink levels, perform maintenance and so forth.

OS: Debian unstable 32bit, kernel 2.6.32-2, grub 1.98 from late january 2010 (only have working net-access from work now, so I am grabbing information from memory). EXT3 and EXT4 support is compiled into the kernel along with chipset/scsi/sata support (not as modules), and I have tested to boot ext3 with it before proceeding. Prereq: my old disk started to have too much S.M.A.R.T errors, so I bought another one, put in a USB cabinet, added swap and ext4 partition/filesystem to it, and copied over all data from the old system to the new that was mounted at /dest using the command "find ./ -xdev -print0 | cpio -paV0 /dest". Swiched disks, so I now have the ext4 disk sitting at /dev/sda (partitions: sda1 => ext4, sda2 => swap), and booted into rescue-mode from cdrom, using /dev/sda1 as root with a shell on. After doing this, I performed the following commands:
mount --bind /dev /dest/dev
chroot /dest
modified the /etc/default/grub to instruct the kernel to boot using ext4, ran grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
ran update-grub to modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which looks as it should) After doing this, grub finds my partition and mounts it. It however stalls with the message: "warning: unable to open an initial console" and does nothing after this point. I have no ramdisk, but my old kernel booted fine from ext3 (and still does if I copy it to a ext3 partition), and since the ext4 support is compiled into the kernel - should I really need a ramdisk?

I have installed moto4lin, as I want to be able to get pictures off my razr v3mM, which I could easily do in Windows. I found a guide for connecting a v3m, but for some reason moto4lin is screwing around with me. Here is my log:

When booting up my IBM Thinkpad Ubuntu stalls giving the following messages:
Cannot open root device "uuid=58a5831c-5757-49f8.....
Kernal Panic - not syncing: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.
I am or was using Hardy.
It seems to me that the program is telling me it can't find the hard drive or the partition where the OS resides. I have my drive partitioned with into sections for booting, the OS and my Home directory.

I have an Ubuntu server x64 (10.04) that is running FOG for imaging Its installed on an Intel server board (1 RU rackmount) I configured the RAID in an Intekl based BIOS utility which Looks similar to This Ubuntu installed and runs perfectly. however im unable to monitor the status of the drives from the OS, so Im unaware of any drive failures that may occur I manged to install megacli but it returns blank data (along with exit code: 0x00) Iv also tryed megactl wich says
Code:
unable to open device /dev/megadev0: No such file or directory
one of my colleagues who had used the server previously was certain that the raid was on board the intel site also makes mention of intel using LSI products in their RAID controllers Relevant section of dmidecode:
Code:
Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: Intel

I'm putting a server together and have run into a boot up problem. (I thought about putting this in the server forum, but it might be a more generic problem that others have seen and know how to rectify.) The install seems to have gone just fine. I have the /boot partition on an internal IDE drive. The rest of that drive and another are mirrored in a Raid0 configuration (using the Linux software to do that) for data storage. The swap partition is a part of the Raid5 SCSI array that also has the / (root) partition on it.
After installation it would not finish the booting process. I suspected that GRUB didn't like all the Raid arrays and such, but it seems to be fine. I can say that because the machine will boot into rescue mode with the GUI splash screen and I have access to the whole directory tree. I have already searched on-line and following prudent advice, ran the yum update while in the chroot /mnt/sysimage mode. That only took overnight to download and most of this morning to complete. Still no dice. Used vim to delete the rhgb quiet commands in the grub.conf file so I could see where the kernel seems to be hanging.
So right after the "Creating initial device nodes" is a line about my generic PS2 wheel mouse. So I tried a USB mouse. Got more output so tried swapping out to a USB keyboard. Got a little further with more information about input devices, but still stops. Also, I tried a PCI video card just to make sure the onboard video wasn't the problem - no change. So, if someone in the Fedora community knows what loads up or is configured right after the mouse and keyboard, I might be able to figure out what's causing the computer to hang during the boot process.

[i use Ubuntu linux 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx] i tried to print a document and i got the following message from the "document print status (my jobs)": "There was a problem processing document 'take it easy' (job 400)" i tried to print other things but i got the same error. after any print request i sent the printer asked me to release the paper it took, and when i release it, it printed this:"Unable to open the initial device, quitting." i have "HP Device Manager" installed on my computer, and lately i tried to install a wireless printer (officejet 4500 g510n-z) through it, and it failed because the connection between the printer and my computer disconnected before the terminal finished the installation. i didn't try to print with the deskjet right after it but now when i try- it doesn't work, so it might have something to do with my current problem... also when i looked at the HP Device Manager i saw the deskjet printer icon marked with X so i used this program's option "Setup Device" and the X mark disappeared.. and it still doesn't work.

I rebooted my server and out of nowhere the RAID5 array won't assemble. I've tried everything I could think of to reassemble the thing. I fear that the array is ruined, but I can't imagine how. Here are various bits of information: The simplest failure (with and without partition numbers, which have not been needed in the past):
Code:
richard@nas:~$ sudo mdadm --assemble --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bcd]
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy

What's the best way to quit X and go into runlevel 3, line mode? Do you just kill the process or is there a better way? In other words, you log into the graphical environment and then you want to kill X and go into line mode, instead of logging into line mode and starting X. I'm running 10.3

In order to switch between dual head and single head, I need to log out of KDE4 and log in again immediately, which is annoying. How can I avoid that?
Is it possible to restart X without quitting KDE?
At work, when my laptop is docked, I use a dual head configuration (internal + 1 external screen), but at home I use the laptop without a second screen.
Using the binary nvidia driver, the laptop always selects the correct configuration upon booting (TwinView), but not upon hot-plugging.
I would just like to suspend the laptop and continue before/after commuting.

I just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:
[Code]....
I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:

I have added CentOS5.5 x86-64 to a linux box that already contains installations of Ubuntu 9 and SL 5.2. Grub2 was installed with Ubuntu and is on the MBR of the disk. I did not install grub with anaconda/Cent. Grub update in ubuntu finds the Cent install and addes it to the grub.conf, and Cent appears in the grub menu at boot. If I select Cent, I get the following error.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda7" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Below is the output of boot_info_script, which gives the relevant boot file data. There are still grub conf files on the SL install, but grub is not installed there anymore.
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #6 for /boot/grub .....
sda3/boot/grub/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd1,2)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb3
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img

Still getting the "cdrecord has no permission to open the device" error when trying to burn an iso image to a DVD-RW.
I did yet another clean install of openSUSE 11.2 64 on my desktop computer, did updates, added Nvidia and Packman repos (it's not a repo problem as I tried it several times on a totally clean install), added codecs and stuff as advised by caf.
I updated the DVD drive firmware earlier today.
My user is a member of ALL groups.
Drive is an LG GH22NSS50 (sata)
It all works (with the same DVD-RW) under winxp on the same machine.
Is it HAL or something else that blocks permission to devices?
I'm really getting sick to death of this problem, and would be happy just to get rid of anything blocking permissions to the DVD drive.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a few days ago, did the updates, surfed on the net, mounted a slave drive and read everything on it, shut down, pulled the slave out and now I can't boot.
After the post screens I get: Verifying DMI pool data
Grub loading
error: the symbol 'grub-device-open' not found
grub rescue>
I think way back I had to reinstall grub or something on another machine I had but I don't remember anything about it. Is that what I have to do and how? Is it because I pulled that slave drive out that this happened? I want to get some more files off the slave as I wasn't finished.
