The last few times, I booted ubuntu, the automatic disk check ran and told me that there were "serious errors on /". This had happened once before but that time, I found nothing wrong on booting into ubuntu. However, this time, the scan doesn't seem to progress any further after detecting the error. What is the problem?
View 7 RepliesI have had problems starting Windows Vista in that nothing happens when I start up the computer. Windows starts loading up and then after a brief blue flicker in the screen (it doesnt seem to be the blue screen of death) it restarts and does this again.
I can get into the system and back up files with Ubuntu 10.04 if I choose to re-install windows. However, is there a way I can use Ubuntu to scan the system for errors to find out what the problem ?
I just bought an hp 6500 wireless printer, and after taking 5 minutes to set it up (amazing how easy it is to get hardware working that supported by Linux) I was happily printing...But- I haven't managed to get it to scan from my desktop pc running 9.04. Tells me no device is found. I added the printer to a laptop running 9.10, and it scanned perfectly straight away...
I've been through the Ubuntu help documentation and haven't found a solution.I think that maybe Turbo Print (for our old Canon printer) might have messed something up. I had to uninstall Turbo Print to get the printer to work (it hijacked Ubuntu's built in printing stuff).
My computer recognizes the printer and has no trouble printing out any documents. The printer can scan papers to a memory card and makes copies just fine too. But when I select "Scan to PC" I get the message "Try scan from computer or see documentation. Press OK." Of course, the printer included next to no documentation, only the basic plug-it-in-and-turn-it-on instructions. Simple Scan said that it did not find a scanner.

I have tried several times to do an av scan with the ASUS provided software and each time it says "failed" NO av database found. I tried the "hold depressed the power button and press F9 several times and reboot to factory settings" Nada, zip -nothing. It does update the av definitions okay. Do I really need to download a good FREE av? If so, which one?
Do I need a firewall? Cox broadband is my ISP and the free Macaffee does not support my linux os!

So I corrupted my Windows OS by doing something stupid so I decided to install Unbuntu. I tried installing it over my windows OS, but as it's scanning the disk it fails and says "Apt configuration failure" and then "installation failure". I can't upload my partitions because I can't run my OS to find them.
I know the information is limited I've considered trying to install a different linux OS or even format my entire harddrive (I would really prefer NOT to do that since I'd have to install all the drivers off the internet).
I ran a chkrootkit scan and found this: The following suspicious files and directories were found: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/.path /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.8/.autoreg /usr/lib/firefox 3.6.8/.autoreg /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-openjdk.jinfo
How do I get rid of this suspicious file?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have ran into a bit of a problem. my server(10.10) is hosting a website with no problems whatsoever. I decided to install an extra hard drive, and format. i did both, and turned off my server after some more configuration. After a while, I decided that the new hard drive was a little loud for my liking, so I removed it. I had not put any files on it. I rebooted and saw a message that said this:Quote:fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2/dev/sda1: clean, 101202/2351104 files, 1516082/9393920 blocksI think that when I turned it off, it was formatting. How do I stop this from halting the boot? I can get by it by pressing the b or a key.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Vostro 3300, i5 460 processor with a NVIDIA 310M Graphics Card. I'm doing a KUBUNTU 10.10 (Maverick) install with the following results. The Live CD boots just fine to, "TEST," or "Install." Installation goes fine. However, the graphics card being used is the Intel i915. I have tried installing the NVIDIA drivers directly from the, "Additional Drivers," tool and after the reboot I get through the boot screen to the console. I try to manually startx and I get the errors, "no device found," "no screens found." The second install I tried purging and blacklisting the nouveau drivers and entering safe mode. Then using apt-get install nvidia-current. After that, nvidia-xconfig. Same results.
The third attempt I re-installed and this time downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia site (version 256.53). Blacklisted nouveau, remove all nvidia, updated initramfs, etc. The install went fine however I still end up at a console after boot with the same messages as above. No device found, no screens found. I've tried searching through the forum and web and have tried things like adding the modset option along with many other hacks, tips and fixes. still, no go.I can live with the Intel graphics for now although I lose 512MB of memory. Unfortunately there is no way to disable or change this set-up in the BIOS. I've seen quite a few bug reports at Launchpad:
1. Is this something I should just wait til a fix comes? Will a fix come?
2. Is there, or will there be an official Updated Ubuntu Guide for Maverick to install NVIDIA drivers with this tecnology?
3. Lastly, is there anything else I should try??
when I attempt to scan anything with clamav from a terminal I get the following error:
ERROR: Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 999 or GID 100
Which I take to mean that there are no virus definitions installed. I use the "freshclam" command. Which results in the following error:
ERROR: Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/clamav-da584cb3f4ee38529f0460ad6f7dc632

I installed debian 4.0 (etch) on an old computer with some pickled graphics card in it, and then I upgraded the computer to one with slightly newer hardware only without the graphics card (the new one used on board graphics). I moved the hard drive from the old one to the new one but when I booted it up it failed to start the X-server and I got some errors listed for "device not found" and "no screens found".
I tried using "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" however I can't seem to find a working configuration. It seems pretty silly that when installing debian it can detect all this automatically with no problems but when it comes to changing some hardware around you are left in the dark with a complicated re-configuration process. Is there not some way to automate this? I'd rather not have to re-install everything

I'm currently running ubuntu 10.10 64bit. My problem started occurring a couple days ago. When I check my disk space using either disk usage analyzer or Gparted it says I have about 69 gigs left. But say I am in a folder on the bottom of the window it will tell me I only have 48 gigs. And just to test I tried going over the amount specified in the folder window and it tells me I have insufficient space.
