View 3 Replies View RelatedI ran up2date yesterday and it installed a few new MySQL packages as well as a new kernel.
It got through everything up until it went to install the smp version of the kernel, and up2date spit an error at me and quit.
The problem was that my system keeps old kernels and /boot was full, so it couldn't add the new files there. No problem--I manually removed (via rpm -e) six or seven of the old kernel packages (there might have been a dozen or so), ran up2date again, and it successfully installed the new kernel. Great. So I rebooted the system.
And when it came back up... MySQL didn't start.
I tried to manually start it just to see, and was greeted with "chown: 'mysql:mysql': invalid user" Yikes! Sure enough, a look at /etc/passwd showed NO user "mysql." I quickly tried "useradd mysql" but it wouldn't go for that because there was a GROUP mysql.
I checked to make sure that there was no user with an id matching the group id of mysql and then manually added mysql back to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
After doing that I was able to start the MySQL daemon and it now properly starts up and runs fine after rebooting.
So basically, it's fixed, but I still don't exactly understand what the heck happened. Updating to a new MySQL rpm and having up2date fail while installing a new kernel somehow deletes my "mysql" user from the system? I shouldn't have to be manually modifying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow because of an up2date error, I wouldn't think.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 I got last week. I had Win7 preinstalled and I wanted Ubuntu for university so I installed that too. I came out of Ubuntu after installing it and went into Windows for something. I shut down but the next morning - ever since I power up the laptop - I get this message saying "Module name not found. Aborted. Press any key to exit". Dell tech support were unaware of this problem previously but they have offered to come round and put the pc back to factory settings. Do you think this is the only way I can go forward from this?

I have OpenSuSe 11.2 64-bit installed on my HP Compaq 6730s laptop. When I'm trying to switch user black screen appears and my system does not react on any key combinations (ctrl+alt+del; ctrl+alt+F7 ...). This was not reproduced before ATI driver installation.

I just updated some user account information on my server and when I log on from a client it the ypcat passwd command shows the old info. How do I make it update? A related question... my NIS users can only log in on client machines using the terminal; it doesn't work at the graphical login screen. Is this normal? I'm new to NIS (just set it up last night) and still getting this stuff sorted out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with GUI under SuSE. As root I can enter but as normal user I can't. So the splash occurs I put user name and password but the system try to enter and later it comes back. I try from CLI, I make startx from command line, the same situation. Sometime the system informs me about a error (a temporary file from /tmp(.X0~ )I must remove, I did but next time it tells me that it can't load one module (it gives me a number).

I moved the mouse, the screen went black and the mouse pointer was visible (and could move). The system stayed like this for about 2 minutes, then wend down completely. I cut power, booted and got the login screen. Each time I put in my password, it looks as if it is loading but then just goes right back to the login screen. I have no problem logging in as root.

I am using KDE 4.3.5 on openSUSE11.2
Today I have installed Linux SUSE 11.2 . At installation, I was asked for user-name and password. I edit this correctly.
At the end of the installation, the system reboots until the mask 'user name' and 'password' will be displayed. When I edit my user-name and the password the system said, that the login is not correct.
First, I think, I have forgetten my password an do a new installation of Linus SUSE 11.2 . Whatever, the same problem ist still there.
I want to run system tap with user profiling which requires utrace and uprobes support from the kernel. Are there any SUSE kernels which support this either for SLES or open suse?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a number of systems with Fedora on them, they are connected to a network but are not allowed to connect to the internet. So I am trying to find a solution to patch these systems in a simple way.My solution which i thought of, however, still having a problem with is as follows:
1- Download the files from the "repodata" (e.g. for "update" repository) using a machine that is connected to the internet.
2- Copy these files(e.g. using flash drive) to one on of these Fedora systems into the /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates (or /var/cache/yum/updates for older versions).
3- Run "yum -C check-update" (-C so it will not try to update and will use the local files). (I am having a problem at this step and I get this message "no such table: packages", the solution that i found on the internet suggested cleaning the cache which is not what i want to do!).
4- After getting the list of needed files I will parse the primary.xml.gz file and grab the actual file names then append the base URL to them and save it into a file.
5- take that file to the online machine and run wget to grab all needed patches.
6- Take the files back to the system and put them in (i think /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates/packages/) and run "yum -C update" However, now i am having a problem with step 3 and also not sure if step 6 is correct.
So does any of you guys know how to solve this, or if there is a better or easier way to do this??* Keep in mind that those machines are not allowed to connect to the internet or even connect to another machine that is connected, but we still need to patch them and keep them secure.
Any recommendations for changing or updating the system sounds in Ubuntu? Seriously, love the distro but absolutely cannot stand the stinkin' bongos that go off every time the system boots or I log in.I've tried changing them and have some of the sounds updated in 10.04, but, can't seem to get them all.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just updated ubuntu a few minutes ago, and now my sound system is not responding. I checked up updates, installed the updates then it told me I had to restart (no big deal, that happens with every other update), so I did. And when my computer booted back up, I noticed my volume icon looked different, so I went to un-mute it, and there was no option to un-mute it. I clicked sound preferences to try and get an idea of what the problem was, and a window appeared that said "waiting for sound system to respond". I've been waiting quite a while now, and it has not responded. My sound was working fine before I updated. Here is a screen shot of the window that appears when I try to enter sound preferences:

While I'm going to try the later part, is there anything else I need to know about ?
Didn't have to do much, took the the Squeeze 6.10.a DVD, asked it to run into rescue mode and then did grub-install giving the MBR (hd0) as the place to be. Things worked nice after that.
Upon booting had to run
dpkg --configure -a
and it updated grub to 1.99-5 among other updates. Did not know that Squeeze had a rescue method as well (just like Ubuntu live CDs have). Now just have to wait for Debian to get Live CD/DVD as default
I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot.
I get this message:
I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer.
But I feel like I should warn everyone that upgrading (with PackageKit) a Kubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, completely breaks the system and makes most everything useless ... In my case it found errors in the upgrading process, and also the bug rapport tools didn't work My 9.10 was only a few weeks old and I have done nothing unusual with the system. (My computer is a Compaq 615 laptop). If there are solutions to repair the system, then I would like 2 know.

Every time Update Manager updates the Kernel, the kernel and it's associated source code is upgraded, but the LINUX-HEADERS for the associated kernel are not updated.
This is a problem because without the updated linux-headers, my Nvidia drivers fail to recompile and load. A PIA. I then have to go to Synaptic Package Manager, find the appropriate linux-headers for the new kernel version, install it, reboot, and then Nvidia drivers load and function again.
Something is obviously messed up here. I likely caused the problem thus:
On first install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this machine, it installed with the generic kernel. It saw/found the Nvidia drivers and loaded them OK (I may have had to do some Nvidia installs via Synaptic; I don't recall). My machine has more than 4GB ram, and I noticed it was not using nearly all of it. I researched and found the solution was to switch to the PAE kernel, which I did. Ever since then at every kernel upgrade, the Linux-headers fail to update, and have to be updated manually for Nvidia to function.
Now that I know what the issue is, it's not a big deal. However, Update Manager should know I need the Linux-Headers and upgrade them at every kernel update. How can I insure this happens auto-magically like the rest of this fine and beautiful KickAss OS?
What is the difference between creating a "regular" user and creating a "system" user on Linux?
For example:
Code:
adduser john
Code:
adduser --system john
Similarly it seems there are normal groups and system groups. Doing an internet search and reading man pages does not give much information on the whole concept of system and regular user/group.
