I mount a smb share in suse 11.2 like so mount //ip/share /mnt/point That's fine. It works. A few days later I find all shares I've mounted like that have mysteriously disappeared. I can't find out why, nothing in logs, no obvious causes. When I say disappear I mean its like something did an umount /mnt/point. They no longer appear in the mount list, they are no longer mounted, and I need to type in the mount command for them to come back.
I tend to leave the boxes running until they crash or need a reboot, and always have. This problem I've only seen in 11.2. I have a 11.1 and 11.0 boxes running too, and the mounts are stable on those. I can't find any references anywhere to this behaviour.
I'm trying to establish NFS mounts for my SOHO NAS 500 as I used to with other versions of OpenSuse. I go to Yast, I find my SOHO server and my exported directory. I put rw for options and Add it to the list. When I exit I get the following from Yast in a pop up: YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Service.ycp:77/sbin/yast2: line 399: 13095 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS I am not an expert (rather basic knowledge) but this is really cryptic for me. Anyone knows what it is? Of course my mount doesn't work. My newly established system is working fine with 11.3 OpenSuse.
I'm trying to share two folders via NFS. First I share /media/disk/, that works fine and mounts on a remote computer as expected. Then I try to also share /home/Videos/ but when I add this folder to my /etc/exports I can't mount any of the shares. I have tried to both do it on command line and with the Yast tool but the result is the same. I have checked permissions on both folders and they are the same. Also if I try to share only /home/Videos/ it won't mount either. What am I doing wrong?
Wondering if any one else is having this problem lately under 11.4. My Skype does not want to launch any more. When I click to open Skype, the tray icon will pop up for 1 second and then just disappear. Have tried launching from command line to see if there are any messages, but it just says aborted when you try launch it.
I noticed this started happening randomly when I had the laptop in hibernate and then would resume, Skype would then just disappear and then I would just relaunch it and it would be find again.
I have multiple ubuntu machines and I connect to one through an NFS share. I have done this for a few years without issue. However, since re-installing ubuntu and upgrading to 10.4 I have a problem with my system hanging when the remote shares are lost.
Basically, I can power down the machine downstairs, and my main machine then has a fit. I can not open any folders in ubuntu, nor can I shut down. If I try and shut down the system hangs, last time it hung for 8 hours before I had to kill the power.
These are the lines in my fstab
I don't know what I've done wrong, or how I can prevent this from hanging. I have googled the heck out of this as well and can't seem to find an answer either.
I moved to static Ip method for my laptop. I edited the interfaces file and it seems to work since I am writing this message from that laptop, but I have a new problem with my Debian. The mounts are not mounted during the startup anymore. Before I was using the network manager method and the nerwork mounts were all fine. Now with this method, they are not mounted and I need to mount them by firing "sudo mount -a" manually.
Is there a way to access remote mount points that were created within the "Places" dropdown or within Nautilus? I haven't been able to locate a mount point for these.
I know I can create a mount point using fstab that will solve my problem but I was hoping for something using these automount procedures as it's really clean.
I just want a way to access these remote shares via terminal when created within Gnome.
I recently upgraded to ubuntu10.04 LTS via update manager. Previous version was 10.04 beta. After upgrading I am facing very strange problem.
1) If I start my laptop with network connection then all the folder under /home get disappear. When I do ls -l /home it says no folder found. As all the folder under home is disappearing it is giving so many errors when I login and as a result of this I am not able to start the gnome UI. I tried to mkdir under home and it says cannot create directory. I tried with root login but same error.
2) But it if I start my laptop without any network connection then I am able to see all the folders under /home and able to login successfully without any error. I tried to mkdir under home and it was successfully.
3) I also tried this option, first start the laptop without any network connection and login successfully ( Able to see all folder under /home) but as soon as I plug the network cable and once it is connected all folder under /home disappear and system starts failing.
How to recover that user as I am having that user since ubuntu8.04 and lots of data and customization is there. My previous 10.04 beta version was working perfectly.
I am sharing some folders from my Ubuntu machine, using Netatalk and Avahi, over my network.I access these folders from my Mac using the AFP protocol.When all is well, my Ubuntu folders show up in Finder on the Mac and I can connect to them.But at random intervals, the Ubuntu folders will disappear. Sometimes they reappear a short while later.At other times, they wont appear until I go to my Ubuntu machine, and re-save (even if i don't change anything) the file:/etc/avahi/services/afpd.service.
Morning, just installed lubuntu but having problems connecting to the wireless network. I find the network alright, however, the network authentication windows pops-up only to disappear 0.1 seconds later not giving me time to enter the network-code.
I am using ubuntu 10.4, network icon to manage wireless disappear suddenly.Wireless is working fine. I just don't see network-manager icon.I tried:Right click on pannel and try to add Network Manager. But there is no network manager.I also try, $killall $nm-applet, then $nm-applet --sm-disable.
My kids each have an ipod touch. Occasionally I connect them to my laptop and use dolphin to pull the pictures off them. I've noticed recently that the ipods don't automount in kde. I know that they were mounting under suse 11.3 (kde 4.5); I can't remember whether they ever mounted under 11.4 (kde 4.6.3). Last night I needed to back up the ipods, and I found that I could do that if I booted into gnome (they mounted right up as volumes in gnome), so the issue seems to to be kde-specific.
I upgraded from 9.0X to 10.04 on my Sony Vaio VGN-TZ398U which has an internal Sprint mobile broadband card. The card operates properly along with the wireless. The problem that I am having since upgrading is that the Network Manager Applet icon that looks like a cell phone bar display does not show in the notification area at all unless there is a known wireless (wifi) network nearby.
Clarification: If I am in my car, the icon does not show which then makes it impossible to connect using the mobile broadband functions of the Network Manager Applet ( version 0.8 ). If I am in my office with a known wireless network, the icon shows and then I can switch to the mobile card.
I have tried removing the notification area from the panel and adding it again. I have done the same with the indicator applet. Neither has solved this problem.
Our organization uses OpenSuSE servers (NFS/LDAP/SAMBA/more...) and are in the works migrating all the workstations for users to SuSE from Windows as well.
I like how in windows the mapped network drives are all listed in My Computer. OpenSuSE has a similar "My Computer" that lists current drives, and general PC info (in KDE, which is what we use in the office). Is there a way to list mounted drives in here, so that users can easily find the network drives? I'm open to alternatives to listing it in SuSE's sysinfo page, as long as it doesn't mean telling my old school windows users, "oh yeah, all your network drives are in /mnt/shares/...they wont have a CLUE what that means. It HAS to be easy for them to navigate to.
My attached image is just a screen shot of SuSE's "My Computer" so you can see where I would ideally like to put the shares.
I've updated my openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2 using installation DVD. After that, as system boots, I started to get lines like:
Code: FATAL: Module jbd not found FATAL: Module mbcache not found FATAL: Module ext3 not found and so on with different modules.. and this exact string several times:
Code: WARNING: All config file need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/tv, it will be ignored in a future release. Finally I get:
I've installed Visualboy advance on OpenSuse 11.2 and it is no where to be found. YaSt says its installed but it is not in kick-off or when using run application. In Kick-off the computer section that has yast and run command and another app. YaSt and the other app (I can't remember what it was) have disappeared and only run command is left.
I'm running Thunderbird 3.0.6 on openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64). When I add a message filter rule, it disappears upon restart. This behavior is reproducible at all times. I suspected a write permission issue, but I checked permissions for the file msgFilterRules.dat and it is rwx for the owner.
Whenever I start Desktop Activity Settings by shortcut or right clicking the desktop KDE window interface disappears all together showing only a black screen. Applications there were running continue to run. Is there a way I can 'reset' the KDE config?
I recently download the new 11.3 suse. I Install from the cd, and choose the update option to make it all auto-.Now I Found out that I have no Mozilla repository, Packman repository, OpenOffice one, as well as others. Then I go the repositories packages screen that repositories aren't displayed. Where can I found them ?What's new on this website that take those repositories apart ?
So I've been testing Gnome Do and I now want to activate docky. To do that I have to activate the desktop effects, so I installed drivers for my graphics card which work fine. But I have an infamous issue with my compiz which causes all title bars of windows to disappear. Is there a solution in which I can activate docky and still have my title bars?
I have trouble when typing in Open Office Writer, Kmail, and zim, among other applications. It's not due to unintentional use of the 'insert' key, either.When I type in these applications, the word I am typing often disappears entirely if I don't add a space, return, or punctuation at the end of the word, or use the arrow keys. For example, when setting up a profile in Kmail, I typed my email address into the settings dialog box, and it kept removing the last part of the address: "myname@univ.edu" would always become "myname@univ." unless I added a space after the edu.
When I first encountered this behavior, in Writer, I thought it was a bug with the AutoComplete feature. But now that I've seen it in other applications, I think it is something more general. how to stop the unexpectedly deletion of words while typing?
I've been using Kubuntu 9.10 for several months now. For most of that time, I configured and used with no problem several network printers.. a HP LaserJet 3015 at home connected to a Windows machine, and a Xerox Phaser 8560 at my coworking space connected directly to a router.
However, several weeks ago I was at the coworking space, requested a print from my web browser, and in the printer selection dialog, observed the list of printers expanding... some sort of autodetection of network printers was occuring, and multiple instances of the same printer were being offered, with slightly different names. Printing to these devices did not work.
Now, after a reboot, there are NO network printers available no matter what network I'm connected to. When I use the Kubuntu printer configuration tool and try to set up a new printer, it asks me to "Select a connection" to which the only option it gives me is "Other". When I put in an address for the printer it just cycles endlessly, never finding anything.
I have problem with VLC player. The problem, from the image below, appears whenever I open video file. I click Ok, and a everything is ok, until I jump to another time sequence, when sound and subtitles disappear.
I am giving 10.04RC a try instead of Windows 7, so far so good. I can connect to my network shares fine using "Connect to a Server" & bookmark with the file browser, however when I use OpenOffice writer Spreadsheet to open/save files the shares disappear in the"Open/Places". Is this a bug in Ubuntu or Open Office? Is there an update/fix?
On Linux Mint (Gnome) i used to go to Network drive. that is on the right hand side of Nautilus there is a short cut for Network. in there i could see my network hard drive and other laptops connected to the network, and i could access my files. but on OpenSuse, when i open the network folder, nothing comes up. may be it needs some sort of configuration.
On my same box are two slackware-installations: one slackware64-13.1 and one slackware32-13.1.
There is an ext Hitachi-hd plugged on my box. With slack64 the ext hd has the uid of the normal user, so I can copy files onto it as user. With slack32 the ext hd has the uid of root, so only root can copy files onto it.
The mounting is "on the fly" with power on/off of the ext hd and NOT set in fstab. How can I change the "automatic" mount-defaults in slack32, that the uid is set to normal user instead of root?
I'm having difficulty getting a usb device (garmin edge 500) to mount. I believe the behavior is that it mounts the first time after startup but not again.dmesg of failed mount:

I have an extra HDD to upgrade from 250Mb to 500Mb.I followed InstallingANewHardDrive in this forum under Community Documentation. The drive is mounted automatically and I have given myself ownership.The problem I have is that I cannot see the additional space in my home directory.

Let's say I have a machine exporting 3 paths via NFS.
Code: /exports/foo /exports/bar /exports/bla
I would like to know if there is a way to determine how many clients have each export mounted at any given time. I don't necessarily need to identify which client has mounted what, just the number.
Code: /exports/foo is mounted by 3 clients /exports/bar is mounted by 1 client /exports/bla is mounted by 0 clients
