Slackware :: Ash Misses Libc.so.6 In Initial Ramdisk

Mar 30, 2011

I updated my netbook to the last incarnation of slackware-current yesterday.

My problem is now, that it is no more able to start the ash shell of the initial ramdisk i am using. The ramdisk was created with the latest version of the mkinitrd script.

The error message is:

Code:

And the error happens when the ash from the initial ramdisk is intended to be started. Simply copying the /lib/libc.so.6 stuff (symlink to the real so and the real so) enables to ash to be started but later cryptsetup fails to load.

The initial ramdisk from mid-January i used before did not have such a problem. What i also see is, that the failing ramdisk has a size of only 16k blocks. The one from mid-January was bigger.

Debian :: Freezing On First Boot At Loading Initial Ramdisk?

Apr 22, 2011

I just performed my very first linux install. I used the Debian 6.0.1a iso. I made it all the way through the installation with no problems whatsoever. I was able to select the version from the grub screen, still everything seemed to be going fine...then it froze. I attached an image of the screen where the system froze:

Its basically the loading screen, times 4! At the top left in case its too hard to read, it says: Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686, then...Loading initial ramdisk... This sounds all fine and dandy to me but it freezes here. I've tried searching the forums and google for an answer and have come up empty...I'm sure someone has had this problem but it seems to be a tough thing to search for. Would appreciate all the help I can get! Oh and btw, here are the system specs:

circa 2001ish Dell Dimension 4300
P4 1.4ghz
256 ram
onboard video etc...

Debian Installation :: Jessie Stuck At Loading Initial Ramdisk - UEFI Mode

Oct 2, 2014

So I managed to install Debian Jessie on a MSI G70 2PE Apache Pro that came with Windows 8.

First I partitioned some space on the laptop. Then I put on the net install cd for Debian and installed it on UEFI mode. It installed correctly.

Now I'm on Grub and when Debian tries to boot it gets stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk". The cursor under it doesn't even blink. The only way to get out of there is by Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Secure Boot is turned off. Fast boot is also off. If I try to boot on recovery mode gets stuck all the same.

The options on my grub are

Debian GNU/Linux
Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux
Windows Boot Manager (UEFI on /dev/sda2)
System Setup.

If I choose the Windows option, Windows boots, no problem.

If I choose the edit option for the Debian entry this is what it shows

Code: Select allload_video
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt6'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then

[Code] ....

What is happening and what should I try to make this work? Could it be a graphics card issue since this computer has a Nvidia Gpu?

Ubuntu :: Grub2 - Error: "loading Initial Ramdisk Error: File Not Found"

Oct 24, 2010

I have a long running 9.10 installation. All of a sudden, on boot, I get this error: "loading initial ramdisk error: file not found" If I hit 'E' at the menu entry, I can scroll all the way to the end of the boot command, and it appears that the last 'c' on 'generic' is missing from the kernel name. If I add the c and hit ctrl-x it boots fine. The grub.cfg appears to be correct, it has the full generic spelled out.

Slackware :: Adding Python After Initial Install ?

Apr 14, 2011

Just installed 13.1 64bit on my laptop. In an effort to keep things slim, I neglected to install the 'D' group....didn't figure I would be doing any developing (call me a literalist). I install Wicd and find that Python is a dependency. What is the easiest way for me to make this happen? Should I just install the python txz or will there be more dependencies that could be solved easier with a script?

Slackware :: Freshly Installed 13.1 - Initial Fonts Look Quite Out Of Focussed ?

Jan 2, 2011

I have successfully installed Slackware 13.1 with the help of a brilliant guide and some reading on my own. And I am loving it. I have installed few applications and feel that the I understand the system more better than any other linuses I tried.

But, the initial fonts look quite out of focussed(can't find a word) or simply ugly?

I searched and found few threads and a dugan's blog but I got confused as to what to do exactly....How to make fonts beautiful or focussed?... This is my first query.....

Also, a second query is about updating the system...I installed Slackware 13.1 DVD without KDE( Yes I love xfce). As I see I used the "slackpkg" utility to update.

First, uncommented the # sign from one of the mirrors in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and ran slackpkg update

And the next time when I ran the same, it said "No changes in change log between last update and now". I gather it means my system is upto date but I have doubt about it. How do I conform if the system is upto date? Should I necessarily subscribe to the mailing list? It a thing I haven't done yet.

Slackware :: Synaptics Touchpad Not Working On Initial Cold Boot?

Jan 10, 2010

What happens is on first boot, my Synaptics touchpad is not being recognised by the Kernel, so I have to boot a second time when it will start working.I have followed and tried loads of advice from different threads, including the copying and editing of the 11-x11-synaptics.fdi file under etc/hal/policy. Also the psmouse proto=any trick. The rmmod and further modprobe of psmouse. Restarting both HALD and UDEV both later and earlier in the boot procedure . The results of all of which is the same. The touchpad only works on second and subsequent warm boots.Below is the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices for cold and warm bootCold boot

Code:
I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="Macintosh mouse button emulation"

Slackware :: Mkinitrd -Warning: The Initial RAM Disk Is Too Big To Fit Between The Kernel A The 15M-16M Memory Hole"

May 7, 2011

I used mkinitrd to build an initrd from the slackware 2.6.37.6 sources. Lilo throws the following: "Warning: The initial RAM disk is too big to fit between the kernel a the 15M-16M memory hole. It will be loaded in the highest memory as though the configuration file specified "large-memory" and it will be assumed that the BIOS supports memory moves above 16M."

Also, I am running swap, / and home on an encrypted volume group. When the initrd boots (but prior to mounting the encrypted vg) I get a message saying that no modules are found-sounds like a daft question but is this expected? I expect that this is because initrd is looking for modules, but can't find them because the relevant partition isn't mounted.

Fedora :: RPM Install Misses Files ?

Apr 5, 2011

I am trying to install openldap servers using the following command...rpm -i openldap-servers-2.4.22-7.fc14.i686.rpm

However the files /etc/openldap/slapd.conf and /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.bak are not getting installed.

I have run the "rpm -qlp" on the package and it says that it included both those files.

I have tried installing with the --allfile --noscripts --notriggers and --force options to see if there was something strange removing the file during installation, but the file is still not being installed.

Other files in the package appear to be installed without issue.

How can I get RPM to install these two files (the conf file is critical and it's a bit pointless to install the package without it).

Software :: Squid3 - Lot Of Cache Misses ?

I know there is stuff in the cache

It's wierd because misses looks like more than requests. I don't know if I'm reading this right.This is just a proxy on a home network with about 6 clients connected.

Ubuntu Networking :: New Install Misses Network On Boot Entirely?

May 6, 2010

I have a new install and I am quite surprised it just misses networking. That is, NO networking. ifconfig comes up with inly lo. Nothing else, most primal. It should use dhcp to connect, bit it fails to create the eth0 interface. Such a fundamental flaw is one I can't work on. Forget looking in network manager in the desktop, that's still being installed, I've checked the basic files in etc against karmic.

idella@squeeze:~$ cat /mnt/lucid/etc/network/interfaces
# Used by ifup( and ifdown(. See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
# The loopback network interface

Ubuntu :: Highlight Then Delete ; Misses First Letter In A Word / Resolve This?

Jun 26, 2011

When I highlight a word then delete it, the word is erased as expected. But when I highlight a word and begin typing a word to replace it (instead of deleting or hitting backspace), the first letter of the unwanted word does not erase... so I am required to watch my text very closely when editing.

For example: I'll type the word "fungus" and then highlight it and type the replacement word "mold" and when I look at the text, the word is "fmold". Am I the only one with this odd situation?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Separate X-screen Suddenly Misses Minimize - Close - Buttons On Windows

May 1, 2011

I did a clean install of 11.04 and I have experienced that my separate X-screen does not have the program-name bar with the minimize, close-buttons etc. It's my third monitor is a separate X and it does not really work since I cant close programs, maximize windows or move them around. I cant even write anything on it. The first two monitors work great as one X-screen, just as they did in 10.10. Ubuntu Classic, no Unity. Two monitors (one X) on a ATI HD6970 One monitor (the X-screen that doesn't work properly) on a ATI HD4870

Server :: How To Restore The /lib/libc.so.6 Link

Oct 27, 2010

I've been working with out servers for the past several years. We have a mix of OS. Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL, etc. I've accidentally trashed the libc.so.6 link and now nothing but shell commands work.

I tried to echo "/lib/libc-2.10.2.so into the /etc/sestatus.conf file, but that didn't have any affect. Does anyone know where the search path is maintained besides PATH so I can try to point the apps to the /lib/libc-2.10.2.so file? I have a bunch of SVN repos on this server and right now, no one has access.

Software :: How Are The Kernel And Libc Connected

Jul 12, 2011

What is the connection between the kernel and Libc (either gLibc, uClibc, etc.)?

For instance, what happens if I upgrade the kernel but keep an older version of Libc and applications that rely on it: Will applications keep running, and I will need to upgrade Libc only if I install newer applications that expect to find new systems calls in the kernel that they reach through Libc?

Or are the kernel and Libc totally unrelated?
