i started up my computer today in runlevel 3, and noticed a small message amongst many others that has got me curious.

I update Jessie "stable" 8.2 to 8.4 and now I get 5 minute interval kernel messages:

I believe this has something to do with an mdadm update which was included in the release. When I configured the array, I didn't partition the disk devices, so maybe that has something to do with it. I am thinking of rebuilding the array and partitioning prior to build, but a quick fix would be referable.
And also something appears to have happened to the raid device since the update.
Prior to update, the array was /dev/md0 - now it is /dev/md/0 which is a symbolic link back to /dev/md0.
mdadm --detail --scan now reports /dev/md/0 where previously it reported /dev/md0
I created a new RAID1 array on a fresh system and immediately after the create, these messages appear at 5 minute intervals.
I recently installed office 2007 under wine, but since I have it no longer know what to open .doc or .xls files with, I was using Gnumeric but now when i go to Properties -> "Open with" there is no longer anything in the list and even when i attempt to add to the list nothing comes up. If anyone know what way you can manually add file types and associate them with programs

I recently did a fresh install of current and once I had it up and running I compiled a fresh 2.6.33 kernel using my old config file, but now I get this warning durning boot, specifically during module loading WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems installing Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook onto my Asus 900. I downloaded the .iso then used the "make startup disc" feature in my Mint 9 desktop machine to make a usb install disk. All appears well at that point. When I try to boot from the usb stick, I get an error message as follows:
"SYSLINUX 363 Debien-2008-07-15 ......

and the cursor just hangs there and doesn't respond to the keyboard.
I also tried it on another Asus and a Gateway Laptop with the same results.
My intention is to have this the sole OS on my little Asus 900.
I've been using linux for a few months. Recently I have installed debian jessie and I'm learning how to secure my laptop. I have installed
Code: Select allapt-get install sysv-rc-conf

Code: Select allnetstat -lntup
I still find 'avahi-daemon: r' and 'cupsd' running. I have tried
Code: Select allsystemctl stop cups
systemctl disable cups
systemctl stop avahi-daemon
systemctl disable avahi-daemon
But after rebooting these services are aklways running. I do not know whta to do.

I'm on Debian Lenny. I've shared a folder on gnome GUI, then went to win 7. I see my machine, SERVDEB01. When I click on it, I get the login popup. The workgroup set in samba is FILE-SHARING, so I login with the following: FILE-SHARINGmyuser password and that's when I get the unknown username or bad password thing.
I had a look to /etc/samba/smb/conf security = user is uncommented the shared folder appears at the end of the config file In despair, I've also created an identical user on win 7 and the linux box. I've been into the security Local Policies of windows 7 set NTLM to LM and NTLM (instead of NTLMv2) Here's my smb.conf in case it's needed.

All clients on the LAN, have to have their /etc/hosts file edited for my server to resolve their hostnames/LAN ip addresses. Both Windows/Mac/Linux. That shouldn't be necessary as all other stanzas are correct. If the hosts file is not ammended my maillog shows connect from unknown rip="my_external_address" when in fact it should say connect from "host" rip=192.168.0.20 Not to sure if it is an iptables issue as I have nothing for this configuration. /etc/hosts file on the server has all required hostnames and ip addresses
View 12 Replies View RelatedIn a previous thread I had detailed an issue I was having with avahi not firing up properly at startup.As a bit of background: the services available on the server aren't advertising until I restart the avahi-daemon manually after startup - The syslog shows the daemon starting on boot, but it never seems to access the service file.I was wondering if it is possible that this may be a file permission problem?

In both CentOS 5.5 and FreeBSD 7.4 when I use
Code:
snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0
I get the remote windows machine system description just fine. But not in ubuntu.
Searching snmp-net FAQ for the erroe message "Unknown Object Identifier", I got this to work around
Code:
snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0
But it not worked either.. Searching "MIB" using apt-file search, I installed "snmp-mibs-downloader", and now
Code:
snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0
works.. but
Code:
snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0
still breaks..
Why it works in CentOS and FreeBSD but not in Ubuntu?
After several attempts in setting up the rc.inet1.conf using alienbob's site as a guide, I'd like to see a sample of a working setup. My setup is very simple: home router and a desktop wireless, with wpa security. Using wicd is snap, but I'm tired of dropping connections; everthing worked with slack 13.0, but this 13.1 dropping wireless connection is driving me nuts, both on the desktop and the laptop.

Just delete a linux partition and now when i boot a message appears and says error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >
I have search on the net for this problem and i have understand it a little. But my situation is a bit different and because i don't want to format my hard disc i wanna try to fix it. So before a couple months i download ubuntu 9.10 and i installed it a month later. But my computer used to crash all the time and i couldnt use it. So i download the latest ubuntu 10.4 and install it while having windows xp and the old ubuntu 9.10(so i had windows xp, ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu 10.4 partitions). Now i tried to delete the partition of ubuntu 9.10 from disc utility. so i have the message i wrote above when i boot. I dont wanna delete my windows xp and ubuntu 10.4. what should i do to stop this message from appearing.
We want a file server for the office and have installed Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop onto a PC we had laying around with the intent of having it accessible by our Macs (all-mac environment). We followed the guide here:
http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/...achine-volume/
The server is visible (most of the time) in Finder with the Xserve icon but we cannot connect to it using the Ubuntu login/pw - it simply says "Incorrect username or password" no matter what we put in. We can always find it with Command+K.
The content of /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default is:
~/ "Home Directory"
~/ "$u" allow:cserver cnidscheme:cdb
where cserver is the sole login for Ubuntu.
We didn't follow any of the instructions under the "Time Machine" section of that guide because we assumed we wouldn't need to since we're not needing that function.
What are we missing?
I am trying to use the sakis3G, i choose the option connect 3G, it asks me about username required by APN?? I have no usernames, and I don't know what APN is? I prefer using the sakis3G since it looks simpler than using USB_ModeSwitch which I didn't manage to understand it from the sites you posted.

Using failsafe I can start a terminal. From terminal I tried to start X

So I tried to run this;
Code: sudo startxfce4 And I get up a graphical desktop.
So this is not a critical situation as I easily can use this method to log on, but as there has been something causing this I would like to be able to resolve this nonetheless. Btw it is not the old chmod trick in play here, cause my .iceauthority file is gone alltogheter.

I have installed an HP LaserJet 2200 network printer using CUPS successfully and can print test pages and stuff from OpenOffice, Evince etc. But no luck printing from lpr. Using lpstat seems to suggest all is well:
$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP-LaserJet-2200
device for HP-LaserJet-2200: socket://192.168.10.42:9100
HP-LaserJet-2200 accepting requests since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
printer HP-LaserJet-2200 is idle. Enabled since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
Ready to print.
If I now try to print 'test.txt' using:
$ lpr test.txt
nothing happens. Try calling the printer by name:
$ lpr -P HP-LaserJet-2200 test.txt
lpr: HP-LaserJet-2200: unknown printer
I have added my user name to the lp and lpadmin groups. Trying the above as 'sudo' results in the same result. The only thing I've noticed is that when printing something from OpenOffice, in the document print status I get the message 'Processing - not connected?', although printing still works.

I use ldap to provide account and home directory services for sendmail.Unfortunately,sendmail occasionally (rarely) rejects a message with a "User unknown" status when the user is a legitimate user that has routinely been recognized in previous messages.I have not yet found a reason to suspect that the ldap server is failing to respond properly or in timely fashion to queries.However, since I believe this information is cached by nscd on the local mail server, I am suspicious that the problem may rest with nscd and its database.Is anyone aware of rather random failures to obtain correct information from an ldap query that is actually related to nscd?Also, I decided to just treat nscd as an application for purposes of this post
