Slackware :: Unable To Identify Tty Name Error On New Install
Oct 4, 2010
Just installed slackware 13.0 32bits using the usb-based netinstall. Did a minimal cli install and unchecked bash (since I wanted to use tcsh on this particular OS). But now on first boot it tells me that it shows an error message indicating "unable to identify tty name" and won't let me login (I'm using the root account since I haven't yet set up additional users). My question is, is the error happening because I unselected bash during installation? If so, is there any config file that I can modify to get it to recognize tcsh and let me log in? or if that isn't the problem, where do I set then the tty name?

I used to configure hostname in the rc.inet1.conf, DHCP_HOSTNAME[0] option and the router was able to recognize the client name, but with Slackware 13 it seems that there is a configuration I'm missing.

I have been having a hard time with my Ubuntu OS it's been giving me an error in the system but as it tries to make an error report it fails the reason being it can't identify the packet id. Here the example of the error i've been getting while trying to update or install packages, when using the terminal sudo apt-get install f- or sudo apt-get install 3kb <this is what it gives>
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergList/var/lib/apt/lib/apt/list/extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18_Tran slation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
Tried the Update manager within the Ubuntu OS but as it loads it gave me the same error report but this time stating I should report this to the 'update-manager'

I'm trying to install The Sims 2 (which I'm aware currently does not run properly in wine anyway), using the multi-CD version. The installation goes normally, up until it comes time to switch from disc 1 to disc 2. The installer prompts me to insert disc 2, but it seems that Ubuntu still believes that the installer doesn't want me to open the drive, because, when I try to open it, it doesn't open, and a window pops up with the following message: Unable to eject CD-RW/DVD RW Drive DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending

I have been given a new old computer, Asus K8N-E with a 2GHz AMD Athlon 64.OpenBSD and Debian works like a charm. But with Slackware 13.1, LILO won't be installed properly. There are two disks: a 10GB ATA-drive with the system and a 250GB SATA-drive as a data repository.
Apparently the computer insists that the SATA is the first disk. Subsequently the bootable partition is not on the first disk and disables LILO to be installed. This is when I try to install LILO to a partition. When it is installed to MBR, it says something about overlapping and can't boot.

Just grabbed Slackware64-current and installed on my laptop. Also put Alien Bob's multilib on.need it for my Absoft fortran compiler.The problem I'm having is that VirtualBox-3.1.6 doesn't install. I've looked at other problems on the list related to this and I don't think that any of the ones that I've seen applies to my situation. My feeling is that there is an incompatibility problem with gcc. The stock kernel was compiled with gcc-4.4.3 which comes with Slackware64-current. However, Bob's multilib backdates this to gcc-4.3.3. So, when the Virtualbox installation procedure runs it sees a kernel compiled with a version of gcc that is different from the one that is currently installed and chokes. recompile the kernel with the current gcc. Haven't done a kernel compile in a long time though and I'd like to get it right. So, my question is "Is the stock .config file in the linux source folder the one used to configure the default kernel?". I like the stock kernel and would like to recompile with all the bells 'n whistles in the stock kernel.

I downloaded NetSecL today to try it out and see what it contains. At first I tried installing it to USB, which after reboot gave me a kernel panic. So I tried installing to my spare laptop, dedicated for testing. Installation went flawless, no errors whatsoever, but when I rebooted the strangest thing happened.
Half of my screen was filled with 07 07 07 and nothing else. No errors on screen, nothing. Not even the LILO boot screen, which I got when booting from USB (just before the kernel panic).
I've used this particular laptop (HP Compaq NX7010) lots of times with a variety of OS and LiveCD, just to try and test, and never have I seen this before.
what this strange behaviour is? I tried installing another OS but got the same behaviour, so I booted from GParted LiveCD, formatted the disk and created a new partition table. After that I was able to install whatever OS I wanted (except the NetSecL).

I have a brand new Slackware 13.1 x64 installation, and I'm having problems with slapt-get.
I'm unable to upgrade existing packages or install new ones. The output in terminal is:
Code:
bash-4.1# slapt-get -i tar
Reading Package Lists... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
tar
[Code]....
Worth mentioning also, I managed to install Gnome from [URL] without any problems immediately prior to this error message starting to appear.
I've been using Debian and Ubuntu derivatives for the last couple of years, so I'm comfortable using the terminal and possibly doing some more advanced stuff.

Have just installed Red Hat on my HP machine (previously running Windows). Thereafter I've been struggling to install various software like flash, media player etc.While most have been successful with much help from this forum, am stuck with the installation of xine media player. also my 320GB external HDD (in NTFS format) is not being read by the system. I downloaded some ntfs drivers but am getting the same C compiler error.

I just did a fresh install of Slackware 13.0 on a Toshiba laptop, and the ONLY thing I did on it after creating a user and switching to init 4 was to run upgrades. After doing so several applications failed to launch, so I rebooted the machine. I get the following error followed by a login prompt:
Code:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shaed object file: no such file or directory And nobody can log in, including root. I've got another laptop running 13.0 with all the latest upgrades and it runs fine.

On friday I tried upgrading my kubuntu karmic to lucid. The upgrade failed for reasons I've forgotten... the upgrader said it had run 'dpkg --configure -a' or something, which I assumed meant that it was restoring the OS to a usable state... which it did not and now I have a broken distro.TO THE POINT. I backed up my files and decided to do a CLEAN INSTALL of Lucid.

I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 using a dvd onto an older pc i have. Specifically the pc has 512mb ram, 160 gb hdd, intel pentium 4 2.93ghz. The first time I attempted it was working just fine, then during the setup while i was entering region info the window went away and the computer shut off. I restarted it then retried the installation and got the error message "Medium does not contain live file system". I found a different type of cd and attempted to reinstall again. Now the error message says that it could not mount the cd probably because the cd is not in the drive.

I have tried both DVD and CD (both are MD5-checked) of both Lenny 5.0.8 and Squeeze RC on my HP DV7-3074CA. (a.k.a 3085DX)When I choose a graphic install, it just hangs after loading the initial files.When I choose the normal install, It gives the following error:
[1.383207] ACPI: EC: Input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction.
Is there a boot command I can input to override this? I tried removing the battery slot, but the only difference is that that message does not appear, but the setup hangs anyway.
UPDATING:Tried "pci=noacpi" but that did lead to a kernel panic.[1.547564] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

A few days ago I decided to ditch Windows for good. I read for hours about a Linux distro and settled on OpenSUSE.
I just need to say one thing. Linux is not for the feint of heart, and everywhere I turn (forums), I see computers riddled with error messages, frustrated people, and the list goes on.
I'm willing to work through this though since I feel that the benefits will outweigh anything that Microsoft can offer, so here goes.
Upon installing the new build of OpenSUSE, I encountered an error message that was fixed by hitting retry (I forgot the name, but I remember it being something like Etk3 or something of the sort).
My issue now is not being able to boot into the OS. I'm getting Error 25 from GRUB on stage 1.5
I've installed 11.1 over my Windows XP partition. I want XP no more. Additionally, I read the sticky and followed all the instructions. I also selected the KDE desktop (I still don't know the difference between that and GNOME despite Googling it several times).

HP 6930 laptop
120GB HDD
It had Win7 64bit installed across the whole drive (100MB sys reserved and C: taking up the rest), I was successfully able to shrink the C: partition to 60GB. So I know have a working copy of Windows 7 on 60GB with 60GB or free space. I boot to 11.4, the installer works great so far and is real fast, I get to the spot where I choose my partitions for nix(tried both auto and manual) then I click OK at the warning to start writing to the disk and ....error 1007, the installer is unable to create the partitions.

unable to install initramfs-tools error in Karmic I'm having a devilish time installing Karmic on my AMD 64-bit.
Today's missive is:
"Unable to install initramfs-tools."
"Check /var/log/syslog"
After a trying to fix a corrupted 9.04, I have attempted repeated installs of 9.10 on a completely reformatted clean drive. I can get the live CD working, but when I try the permanent install, using the guided full drive install, it stopped at "Unable to install initramfs-tools." and halts the base system install. I can't find anything on this for Karmic and Launchpad says it was superseded.
Can I skip this and go on? It showed a install list going forward, but if I can't put in the base system, how do I proceed? I've burned 2 9.10 disks, a new 9.04 disk, downloaded 9.10 via package manager while in Live CD and get errors on all during the install process. the check sums match on D/L, but I can't figure how to do a chksum after it's burned to disk. The file sizes do match, but when I go for the install something always halts it at different steps with different errors. No joy.
