Ubuntu :: 11.04 - VirtualBox 4.1.0 (Invalid Settings Detected)
Jul 30, 2011
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on a Compaq Presario CQ62, with factory specs. I have downloaded and installed VirtualBox 4.1.0 r73009, and successfully installed Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. However, I have now hit a problem. When I go to Settings for either virtual machine, I get an error that says "Invalid settings detected". It doesn't matter what I try to change or adjust, this message will not disappear. I do not currently have USB support for the Virtual machines, but it's not a big concern to me at this time. I don't know what commands I need to issue or what information I can offer to get the readout of what's not working right. I am very comfortable using Terminal, but have no idea what to look for or where to go.

I've just installed a fresh copy of Maverick Meerkat 64bit and I wanted to setup static ip, but unfortunately I can't because of invalid mac address detection during each startup. The message looks like this
Code:
dmesg |grep Mac
[ 5.988576] forcedeth 0000:00:07.0: Invalid Mac address detected: 0b:68:66:ea:0f:00
[ 5.988590] forcedeth 0000:00:07.0: Please complain to your hardware vendor. Switching to a random MAC I remember having the same problem on suse distro and the solution I found at that time, was to change the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and edit it to look like this

My computer was working fine yesterday. Last night I opted to load the newest ubuntu os ver 9.1. Now all I see after the initial booting takes place is a blank screen. I have managed to look at the booting up sequence and at the end of the multiple lines of code is the message: 'Invalid RT chipset detected'. I do not know if this is significant or not.

Running 10.4 Luci RC 64-bit desktop and when attempting to run Applications > Sound & video > Sound recorder, I receive the following error message:
Quote:
Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them with the "Sound Preferences" under the System-Preferences menu. When I do go to System > Preferences > Input, there is only 1 device - "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" with no options for modification.My laptop does have an internal microphone but it apparently isn't working as nothing was recorded when I ran a Skype test call. This is the reason why I attempted to record something to check the mic.

My question mark key in my keyboard isn't working. ("?"). I've tried to use xev and showkey -k to try to identify at least a keycode and manually use xmodmap to map it. Unfortunately, the keys aren't being detected in neither utilities. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox 3.2.4 r62467), and my Kernel is 2.6.32-22-generic. My Host is an Ubuntu 8.04.
When I run xev in my host, I get:
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic
NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x5d, subw 0x0, time 19346721, (726,722), root:(730,746),
state 0x2010, keycode 211 (keysym 0x2f, slash), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 61
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2f) "/"
XFilterEvent returns: False
[Code]...
What can this be? It's not a special multimedia key, it's a simple one. I would like to understand what exactly is happening so at least I can try to better debug this issue. If it's detected in my host, why it isn't in my guest?

i installed SLES 11 sp1 as guest on openSUSE 11.3 host, then change the adapter network from 'NAT' to 'Bridged Adapter', but when i hit start i got this error message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine sles. Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). but when run: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

SuSe 11.4 install problem. I've installed 11.4 and have the following sequence of events
Power on - dell hardware boot options
Grub
Choice of
Standard suse boot
Safe mode
Windows 1
Windows 2
Choosing standard goes through a boot sequence but leaves me with a invalid screen setting with a scrambled display. Are there any options I can provide grub with that will enable me to boot and trouble shoot the system?
Grub has
vga = 0x348
The graphics are
NVidia geforce 6150se
Monitor

SuSE 11.1 worked fine and the windows side works fine.

I recently bought one K3806 Vodafone Mobile Broadband usb stick. My pc is a Dell Latidude D620 notebook (Bios A0 running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). I downloaded (from Betavine) and installed without any error/warning the 3 packages ozerocdoff, usb-medeswitch and vodafone-mobile-connect. Then I plug the K3806 in one usb slot. The mount -v command produces following output : /dev/sr1 on /media/10.1.108_RP154 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000, iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500) The mount point directory contains following files :

I need to set up a little virtual network with Debian Lenny guests (the host is Debian Squeeze, but I don't think it matters). I installed Lenny in a VM and it works fine. Then I cloned the hard drive, garion@Laptop:~$ VBoxManage clonevdi Linux 1.vdi Linux 2.vdi created a new VM with exactly the same settings as the first one and booted the new disc. The problem is that there's no eth0 in the new VM, but it is in the original one. Also if I "unplug" the cable, dmesg won't notice anything. In the original VM it works fine. They both have the same virtual network card: PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973). I've also tried NAT as well as internal network settings.

I try to setup a HPC cluster with CentOS 5.5. But now there is no Internet connection available in the room where the hardware is located so I set up ntpd server using synchronization with local clock (maybe I do something wrong). Here is my ntp.conf file on a master node (the master node has IP 10.0.1.1, a file server has IP 10.0.1.2 and compute nodes are 10.0.1.3..10.0.1.11, comments are omitted):
Code:
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1
restrict 10.0.1.1 mask 255.255.255.255 notrust
restrict 10.0.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap

Any time I try to install software building it from source when I run make I get a waring "Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete". Some software build successfully and run normally after install but some build tasks are failed for example when I try to build RPM's via 'make rpms' for BLCR I get an error message about invalid date in changelog. But the system date seems to be right. I suppose I have invalid settings of NTP.

I installed Debian 5.03 Lenny successfully on my machine. I got this error during boot: ACPI : invalid PBLK length [5]. After that the Operating System boots properly and starts normally. What does this error statement mean? Is it safe to work with this installation despite this error?

Trying simply to insert into table. Have succeeded in doing this but now want to correct user use of invalid characters. If I'm understanding correctly, Real-escape-string seems to correct these, so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. A short, test code version gives me a syntax error at INSERT VALUES, which--because it still has the single quotes in the text--tells me the real-escape-string didn't work. The code below gives me a parseing error with invalid $END at </body>.
Insert Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' VALUES (UTC_TIMESTAMP,'What's happen' bra?')' at line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/powere15/public_html/DB/exercises_insert_record.php on line 94

Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition
(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)

Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.

i have a computer with 3 users on it, and a folder using samba that everyone on the network has access to. Lets say that, the folder is stored in /etc/sharedfolder. What happens is, when user1 puts a folder in it, then logs off, user 2 attempts to modify it and fails, because permission is set to 755, and they are not in the same group. (even if they were, it should still need to be 775) Anyway, my current solution is, every 5 minutes a crontab changes permission like so: chmod 777 -R /etc/sharedfiles && chown useradmin:superadmin -R /etc/sharedfiles Which works, but seeing as there is getting close to a gig in there, this is a bad solution, as it eats up the computers resources. Solutions that i think might work:
1) create a script that only changes permissions that need be changed.
2) change file permission settings to force all documents to inherit parent document settings

I have a triboot windows suse 11.3 stable and suse 11.3 factory pc, I would like to share the browsers and email settings between the suse stable and factory, I succeed with thunderbird and firefox moving the /home/.thunderbird and /home/.mozilla in an ext3 shared partition and linking these in the respecive /homes, I found that there isn't a /home/.chromium folder, I found probably /usr/lib64/chromium could be the same as /home/.mozilla for firefox, but I don't know if is secure or can damage my system to move this in a ext3 partition and then link this to the respective /usr/lib64/chromium, /usr/lib64/chromium has root owner, root group, visible and modifiable for root and only visible for group and other.

Is there a way I can save system settings and have yast revert to a config file in case I ever need to reinstall the system again? I hate having to configure the firewall, runlevels, samba shares, samba workgroup, apparmor, and all the other junk after every install. It's not like I install often, but should suse 11.5 or 12 roll out, I'd like it to be a snappy upgrade.

I am running a debian squeeze machine on a ibm t40 laptop with window maker as my window manager. I am using gpointing-device-settings as a program to get the scroll bar on my touch pad working. unfortunately, I can't get the settings to stick after i shutdown and turn on. I have to go into the program and unclick then reclick the button. i'm using version 1.3.2 (ive tried both deb and source versions). does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? and if there is any configure files that I could configure instead of having to use the gui program.

I'm trying to create a user account for my children in Ubuntu 10.04
When creating their account, I have turned off the 'Connect to ethernet and wireless' option of the Advanced Settings.
However, when I log into their accounts, they still have full access to the internet through both the wireless and ethernet connections. Is this option for some other purpose?
Is there an alternate way to limit internet access for childrens' accounts in Ubuntu? (I'm used to MS Family Safety as a filter for internet access - is there an eqivalent for Ubuntu?)

I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:
[code]...
When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?

I have two major issues, and one minor one, after I started using Ubuntu, I tried searching the forum for them, but couldn't find anything relevant to my problems.First issue: Screenshots and the cursor.This is probably a very easily fixed issue, but none-the-less, I can not figure it out.How do I NOT include the cursor in my screenshots on Ubuntu 9.10?What I do is, I press the Prt Scrn button, and my cursor is always there in the image, and I don't want that.Second is pidgin.I love it, but every time I boot it up, my friendly name is reverted back to firefoxfag.I think it has something to do with me using gmail for msn, but I'm not sure...Also, as a last very small issue, the global hotkeys on audacious don't respond unless i open preferences, open settings for global hotkeys, then close down the settings..

I'm looking for the easiest or cleanest way to copy a user's settings to a new user's settings. I don't need to copy any files from the original user, but setting up a home directory would be great.
If it's done at the command line, that would be just fine. I'm very familiar with working at the command line.
