Ubuntu :: Boot Fails From HD - Error Getting Socket / Invalid Argument
Jun 20, 2011I have an old PC with two hard drives (40 and 60Gb) and it uses dual IGhz pIII processors. It shares screen,mouse and keyboard with another PC.Both into Netgear modem. It ran ubuntu 8.04 and XP Pro on the drives above with no problems. Then I decided to try Mint 11 (34bit CD) - result after Grub blank screen other than flashing cursor at top left.No input from keyboard.
Tried Mint KDE 10 (34bit DVD) same result.
Tried Kubuntu 10 (CD) same result.
Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 no problem.
Upgraded via download from 8.04 to 10LTS hoping that this would somehow prevent the problem and have screen which says:-
starting up
[000000] ACPI no DMI BIOS year,ACPI =force is required to enable acpi
mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device
udevd[825]: error getting socket: Invalid argument

udevd[825] error initialising netlink socket
libudev: udev_monitor_new_from_netlink:error getting socket:Invalid argument
Segmentation fault
Gave up waiting for root device.Common problems:
Boot args (cat/proc/cmmdline)
Check root delay (Did the system wait long enough)
Check root (did the sytem wait for the right device)
Missing modules (cat/proc/modules; 1s /dev)
ALERT! dev/disc/by-uuid/"long number here" does not exist.Dropping to a shell.
Then it goes into Busybox and ends with "initramfs". I have tried altering the boot device in BIOS from HDD0 through 3 with the same result other than more bad language!
Ubuntu Installation :: Laptop Won't Boot - Swapoff Failed: Invalid Argument
Jun 5, 2011I have a SONY laptop, PCG-7181M model. It came with Windows 7 but I changed the OS to Ubuntu. Last night it asked me to upgrade to the new version called Natty Narwhal. I had to go to bed so I changed the sleep timer on the laptop to 2 hours, the time it would have taken the upgrade to complete. I woke up and the laptop was off, now only the grub menu shows up and the laptop won't boot. I tried doing this: - When the machine boots up, press Esc to get to the Grub menu - Select one of the recovery mode options. This will boot you up to a single-user root prompt. - Run sudo fdisk /dev/sda (this assumes that your hard drive is at sda) - Type p to see which hard drive partition is labeled Linux swap. In my case the partition was /dev/sda5. Type q to exist fdisk. - Type these commands:

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Upgrade Will Not Boot "invalid Argument" Error
May 1, 2010I did the online upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, using 64 bit. I was forced to as the 2 solutions to my incedibly slow internet lookups both required new package installs, both of which failed, so hoped it was sorted out in 10.04 TLS.
It all went to plan until it tried to reboot. I get this:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/1e4e276c-8741-42e7-b52e-05c195790d28 on /root failed: invalid argument
mount:mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
[Code].....
I don't have RAID at all a single Samsung 200GB SATA drive as the boot drive. Can someone tell me where to start looking? Also how can a TLS release screw up so badly on a common Gigabyte motherboard?
Ubuntu :: Laptop Boot Failure - Invalid Enviroment Block - Unable To Load Default Boot Entries
Mar 3, 2010Have been running ubuntu for sometime now and love its functionality...However since a recent update have the following issues..When I power on the laptop I get the toshiba logo followed by grub loading with the message ' invalid enviroment block" "unable to load default boot entries". When I then try to run the laptop off a LiveCd, the ubuntu splash screen appears with the loading process bar (horizontal line) displayed..however it then appears to display a black screen with no further activity..Now all of this is via an external monitor as my laptop screen shows no activity right from the very start with just a blank screen....so am really stuck here wondering if its a harware/software issue or a combination of both...

Ubuntu :: Copy Files To Windows Network - Invalid Argument
Dec 15, 2010I have have ubuntu 10.10 at work hooked onto a Windows Server 2003. I have pretty much everything working peachy except I can't copy files onto the network drive. When I start my computer, i have to manually go to network places and navigate around until i find my company share drive and then its mounted for the rest of the day. I can read files from the share drive and oddly enough save documents through programs like gimp and open office, however if i go through nautilus to try and copy a file from my desktop to the company share, it won't let me. It just says "Error while copying 'yourfile'" and the details just say "invalid argument."
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Corrupted Partition On Hard Disk - Invalid Argument
May 11, 2011Basically, I just installed Ubuntu over Windows Vista because I was getting fed up with the performance on it. During install I set up a partition, one for Ubuntu and one for data. However, my second, larger partition gives this error when I try to mount it...
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (976764927): Invalid argument
Hints: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),
or a wrong device is tried to be mounted,
or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
Debian Hardware :: Scanner Fail With Invalid Argument
Oct 29, 2014This error is very difficult to solve, but also appears widespread across the Debian universe and also others like Arch and Fedora. I use a Canon LiDE 110 scanner and it has always worked very well under Linux. This same problem affects many other scanners not just the 110. Run any front end like xSane and after initially appearing to be OK it will fail with an Invalid Argument error.
But, it does not happen to everyone. I have several machines to experiment with so I did. I also used Debian Testing and Sid, Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 and various Mint versions and desktops.
The error is all to do with USB3. Plugging the scanner into a USB2 port does not in and of itself solve the issue. Nor does running the scanner through a hub. On my older laptop without USB3 hardware my scanner works like a charm using any modern Linux. On my very old spare desktop it also works fine despite having USB3.
But, on my shiny new Intel i5 on an ASUS H97I Plus it all falls apart. After much reading of forums and many dead ends we find the problem is modern machines with Intel xHCI Mode in the BIOS. It has to be off, not enabled, auto nor super auto. But when you turn it off you turn off USB3 support and your system falls back to USB2 only. My old spare machine has an AMD chipset and USB3 enabled does not cause this error.
So if you need to use your scanner and get this error then xHCI mode is the workaround. Fine if you have no real need for USB3, but most definitely a temporary solution.
Where in the system does this error come from? Too hard for me. Is it in Sane or in the libusb sub system or all the way up to the kernel? However if you have any USB device that has stopped working this setting in your BIOS has got to be worth a try. It is nothing to do with permissions or firmware.
sane-utils updated to 1.0.24-5 in sid (Dec 12, 2014) problem still exists.
Applications :: Hdparm LSI Controller Support - Invalid Argument
Jan 7, 2010I have SSDs connect to my Linux machine through the LSI SAS/SATA 1068E controller. I've been trying to issue a ATA secure erase command to my SSDs, but I keep getting error. In fact even hdparm -i fails.
# hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument
Initially I thought there was some kernel configuration issue, so I tried connecting a SSD to the on board SATA and I no longer get errors. The secure erase worked. It seems there is some compatibility issue with hdparm and the LSI controller/driver I'm using. Any way to make hdparm play nice with my LSI controller? Has anyone had success getting hdparm to work with drives connected to an LSI controller?
Additianal info:
Linux Kernel: 2.6.30
hdparm: v9.27
LSI driver: Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.07

I've had this software working on a old versions of Gentoo (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) and Fedora. And the latest version of Ubuntu server 10.04.1. (All 64 bit). It looks remarkable similar to:

However, I am unable to get the microphone working. It appears to be recognised, but there isn't anything captured from it.
I have removed PulseAudio as it was interfering with my quest to get 5.1 working over HDMI passthrough in XBMC.
