View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Opening KMenu Spins Up NAS
May 30, 2011I have a NAS in my home network which is automatically mounted using NFS on my desktop. There's only media files and documents on the NAS, no installed programs. None of those documents or media files appear in the Recently Used tab.
Whenever I click on the K-menu button of the taskbar, the menu does open but I cannot use it for a while; then I hear the harddisks in the NAS spin up and after a couple of seconds I can use the menu.
This is, of course, really annoying because it limits the speed at which I can use the K-menu. Why does it need access to the NAS anyway? Is there any way I can disable this?

Dec 16, 2010I have been having some issues with Ubuntu One. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. For some reason, Nautilus tells me that Ubuntu's default Videos folder (there is data in this folder) is synced on Ubuntu One when it is not. I have checked on the Ubuntu One website, and the site says the Videos folder is not synced (Ubuntu One's website does not show the Videos folder under "my synced folders"). When I attempt to uncheck the sync option in Nautilus, the loader next to it spins endlessly, or Nautilus gives me an error that it can not sync the folder.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Desktop Freezes For 30 Secs When SD Card Plugged In
Jan 22, 2010I am attempting to copy files to a 1GB SD card using my built-in SD card reader on my notebook computer. This function worked great on Hardy Heron. However, I switched to Karmic Koala about a week ago. Upon insertion of the SD card, the entire desktop (including mouse cursor) will freeze for about 30 seconds. Then, the SD card apparently mounts with an icon showing on the desktop. I can then open Nautilus and view the files and folders on the card. When I attempt to copy a file over to the SD card, the transaction looks as though it completes because the file icon shows up. However, Nautilus suddenly unmounts the card. When I check the file, I find that only half or less has copied over the the SD card.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Cron Job Runs Every 30 Secs?
Jul 24, 2011The problem is I need the php program to send member email confirmation which contains a confirm link. Run every min may still make the member wait. So I like to make it to run every 20 or 30 secs.
I don't want to put the code to send email on my sign up page as that's no good.
But I don't want to put a sleep 30 sec on my php script and going on loop. If it failed in the middle then it may wait abit to start.
What can be done to achieve my goal and what's the best way?
Making a php script to run as a daemon process? Is that possible and okay?
Server :: IP-Config: No Response After 60 Secs?
Apr 18, 2011I have followed this guide [URL] to setup a diskless cluster based on ubuntu server. Every thing is fine in the boot process except this:
After the client boots vmlinuz and init.rd, I see some information and after a minute I see:
Code:
IP-Config: no response after 60 secs - giving up
/init: .: line 3: can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
It is strange since it gets an ip address when it want to boot. I don't know what is wrong with it.
Ubuntu :: Voip Call Cuts In 25 Secs Through Netgear Router?
Aug 16, 2010I have a Compaq Presario V2000 running Ubuntu 10.04. I use voip to call international mobile numbers. I'm currently using a Netgear router (at a friend's place) and now, my calls cut in 25 seconds. The call time keeps running, but neither can hear each other after 25 seconds. I've tried using service providers like Actionvoip and Jumblo (as they are cheaper than Skype) and clients like Ekiga and Twinkle. Same It happens on both Wi-Fi and ethernet. There is enough credit I tried using my friends Dell Latitude running Windows 7 with my Jumblo account. Surprisingly, it worked perfect!Previously I used a D-Link router and it worked flawlessly with my system.I fail to understand if it is some settings issue or a bug with Netgear's firmware. If anyone else has come across this issue and has been successful in getting around it
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Blinking Cursor For 12 Secs Before Login Screen Appears
Oct 20, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside my Windows 7 os in a dual boot config. I used an installation disk and allowed the ubuntu installer to do all the resizing of partitions, installing of grub, etc. The install is working great and I haven't needed to boot my windows os since which is great. The only complaint I have is that it takes it takes a bit longer to boot than windows did for some reason. The culprit is a blinking cursor that comes up and remains for about 12-15 seconds before the grub menu appears. I already altered the boot option for the grub menu so that ubuntu is default and the option to select another os only appears for 3 seconds but I don't think this is related since the delay occurs before those options appear. I'm not really sure what is causing the delay. Is it looking for the loader? If so, is there a way to edit the configuration so doesn't have to search? As I mentioned, the install is running great otherwise.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 - USB Keyboard Error (Cannot Type For Few Secs)
Sep 13, 2010I am using an external USB keyboard to my laptop. Suddenly (after using this keyboard for 6 months), some randomly times I need to press the button 6-7 times before something appears on screen. This happens randomly, I may be able to type a whole paragraph without problem, and suddenly I can't type anymore for few seconds. My system is opensuse 11.3 and it happened last friday 9/10 ( if it is related to any update). I tested the keyboard to another pc and it is working. I tested another keyboard to my laptop and I still have the same problem.

Debian Hardware :: USB Serial Adapter Spontaneously Emitting Data Every 20 Secs
Jul 13, 2015I tried connecting my Debian laptop to a vintage Apple //e using a Super Serial Card on the Apple side and a USB to serial adapter on the laptop side. It kind of works -- I can send data over to the Apple using e.g. echo "foobar" > /dev/ttyUSB0 or via minicom --, but every 20 seconds (quite exactly!) some 4 random characters appear on the Apple's screen (mostly tildes, sometimes a pipe). This does *not* happen when booting the laptop into Debian rescue mode; so I guess it must be some (daemon?) process messing around with the usb serial device in regular intervals.
I tried to disable quite some services, but the problem remains.I don't have any clue how I might catch the evil-doer in the act -- virtually all serial monitors I've so far read about allow only monitoring the interaction of a known program/process with a serial port. But in this case I first have to actually find out which process is talking to the serial port in the first place.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Erratic Install Results W/initrd - Custom Spins With Custom Drivers - Modules?
Dec 28, 2009Just spent three whole days barking up the wrong tree, solving Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 boot failures because the correct hypothesis was illogical: installation did not update/modify the initrd.
The first couple of times I installed Fedora 11 on the HighPoint Technologies RocketRaid 2640x4, the installation inserted my "custom" driver module (rr26xx) into the initrd, permanently, so that the system booted off the controller card for which the custom driver was inserted. (I yelled about this success in this thread: [url]
My most recent installs of BOTH F11 and F12 on the RocketRaid failed to properly set up the boot. It turns out that the "rr2640" module I "slipstreamed" into the installation process was *NOT* permanently added to the initrd by anaconda. (F12 gave me "no root device found boot has failed, sleeping forever", on boot; F11 hung also, without such error, I presume, during the init script execution). Because of limited resources and time, I only know for sure the module was missing from the F11 initrd, and am ASSUMING the same was the case with F12.
The only difference between the successful installs and the ones with failed boot is that the successful installs were made on a single-drive (JBOD) mode on the controller; whereas, the failed ones were placed on RAID 5. But, AFAIK, the created logical device for the card is "/dev/sda", in both cases, and the kernel can not distinguish between the two cases (or can it?). Thus, the inconsistency cost me a lot of time, and is still inexplicable to me.
Question: What is the best way to deal with custom drivers, today? There are custom spins, and many tools, like isomaster. Stupid question: Is there a way to modify the initrd inside an installer ISO -- be it for CD/DVD/USBboot drive -- beefing the init RAM disk with whatever modules you'd like, for the boot process (using, say, isomaster)?
And what makes anaconda understand that a module must be added to the initrd ? How can one force anaconda to do so?
How does moving to dracut as the initrd tool affect any/all of the above?

I think this is a bug because sometimes the tab says something about java with some strange characters mixed with it.
