Server :: Get Locked Out After Version ( Ubuntu ) Upgrade?
May 21, 2010
I have just setup a new server whith a host who only provide the hardy distro of ubuntu. I want to upgrade it to at least jaunty, however after upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04, it requires a restart and after it restarts i can no longer connect to it at all. I'm fairly certain it must be reconfiguring the firewall to prevent all access on reboot.
I installed fwknop-server automatically using apt-get, however, got version is 2.0.0rc2, while I found that version 2.6 is available. How can I get it in the easiest way? I'm using debian wheezy 3.2.54-2. I tried apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade, nothing worked.
CentOS 5, installed ffmpeg and compiled the ffmpeg.so, from fffmpeg-php-0.6.0. Everything works fine. Then upgrade the php to 5.2.13 (using an external repository)recompiled ffmpeg.so but now when trying to load php:PHP Warning: PHP Startup: ffmpeg: Unable to initialize moduleModule compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0These options need to match in Unknown on line 0
2.After a year on Lucid 10.04 I installed all updates and did an online upgrade to 10.10 Great!3.Enthusiasm got the better of me and I clicked the upgrade to 11.04. Big mistake.4.I get the 11.04 desktop, but it has no response to mouse clicks. I'm locked out - can't click to log in to my private files.Is all lost? The cursor moves OK and the keyboard works (They are wireless and I guess I'll put on wired ones to eliminate any problem there as I fix stuff.)5.I have never done my own installation or partition work.6.There are a few things I did not back-up, and I'll miss them. Some bookmarks in Firefox may be impossible to ever find again.I really need the Evolution e-mailI dual boot with XP and am now booting up from an old 9.04 disk that I found.I thought I was doing a minor upgrade to Natty 11.04, but the screen tells me I have 2.6.32-32-generic kernel Is there any going back?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 desktop version on my Lenovo L420 laptop. Now my friend told me that if I had installed laptop version on it then it would have recognized events related to laptop like closing down the laptop screen and all.
Q1. Is there any way by which I can upgrade it to laptop version?
I was updating from 10.04 to 10.10 earlier today when my laptop shutoff in the middle. I fixed a grub error by reinstalling it with a live-cd, and found out I had a "kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on" waiting for me. I booted an alternative kernel and tried fixing things from there, but got "general error mounting filesystem". So, I tried a live-cd and when I mount the partition, it is read-only. I tried running fcsk to no availThe only thing I could find helpful was this."It's probably because your filesystem has suffered a failure - it is configured by default (in /etc/fstab) to remount as read-only in such cases in order to minimise the risk of data loss."
I am using Nagios 3.2.4 monitoring tool on a Linux box with Fedora 10 installed on it and Apache version is 2.2.10. I would like to upgrade my Fedora version from 10 to latest version Fedora 13.
Installed Zend Server CE on 10.04 - install mostly fine. But phpmyadmin shows this error; "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.83 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.41" I have followed the Zend online docs and used a DEB install. Why would these versions be different?how do I fix it so that the two are in sync?
My company has policy that user accounts expire once a month and they also get locked out if they re-try login more than 3 times (pam_tally). It gets very annoying every time they come and ask to get password changed.How do I let users change their own password? Also let the system email them every day for two weeks before password expiration and until they change their password?
using a terminal on the server,telenet localhost 25 should connect to my mail server.It times out yet I can telnet remotely to my mailsever and get connected.I removed Iptables and that does change things.what ever is causing this started a week ago fri.I was adding to the iptables.I am still a newbie to Linux and Centos so I probably messed it up.
I also looked into the mail logs and found the following. Mar 14 10:15:43 quant dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down file or directory Mar 14 10:15:43 quant dovecot: child 4442 (auth) returned error 127
I've got a box with a fresh installation of CentOS 5.6, but had several configs copied from an old 4.8 box that I've now got to finish. Most everything seems fine, but I can't get apache running. It reports that it starts up fine, but immediately stops and reports "httpd dead but subsys locked"Most of the advice I've found while searching suggests to just delete the http.pid file and restart, which doesn't help in my case. I did find a few problems where SELinux was restricting httpd from creating or touching certain files (I found reports in /var/log/messages) but I've worked through that.
So the big question here is: /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_log are now empty, and don't show any more errors when I restart httpd. Does anyone know where else I can look for reporting/logging on what's happening to httpd to cause it to die?
I want to upgrade mediawiki software from version 1.6 to version 1.16 . The newer version is supposed to be installed on another server. I am trying to migrate the old mediawiki mysql database with no success.
Is set up a postfix, dovecot + clamav server as described in the wiki. I also use the freshclam update script in /etc/cron.daily/freshclam. But my problem is i get this error message every day:
/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
Today, I was upgrading my desktop from Jaunty to Karmic (a little behind schedule, I know). All packages downloaded successfully, and then the computer began the process of applying all of the updates. During this period, at some point, it lost power. Now, of course, it won't boot.
Fortunately, I have a separate /home/ partition, and it was unmounted during the upgrade process. So, my personal data and settings are fine. But the OS is useless.
I'm guessing that I'm completely buggered here, and there is nothing that I can do except re-format the Ubuntu partition and clean install Karmic from an install disk.

I try to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, but there is no final version available when I press Alt + F2, only the release candidate. What is the problem here and what can I do?
Does Ubuntu can / support update automatically like Windows Update does ?it is simply because I'd like to standardize my Ubuntu server installation across the datacenter to be exactly the same (latest) rather than having multiple minor version.Or is it possible to script / cronjob upgrade Ubuntu 10.0.4 into 10.10 using apt-get command by checking to the repo
i have a live cd i had sent to my address a while back but now i am outdated and would like to upgrade to the current version. is there any commands i can run to upgrade? or will i need to order another live cd
I am making the switch to Linux and I really love Ubuntu. My DVD player isn't working, so I'm using my flash drive. It was too small for the desktop installer, so I used the netbook. I'm installing it as I type this (having the browser thats available for browsing while installing is awesome!)
Is there a way to upgrade to move to the desktop version after I finish? Also, what's the difference between the two. Links are fine. I tried google, but my google-fu must not be too strong today.
A friend installed Ubuntu 8.4 for me. I tried to upgrade to the current new version but it will stop at one point and say," Failed to fetch compiz-plugins_0.8.4-0ubuntu15_i386.deb. Hash Sum mismatch" and stop. I can separately download that very same file but it won't do it by itself.
how do I get it to work? I am just a windows user trying to learn to get away from Windows. This has been bothering me for the past ten days and each attempt ends at the same point.
