Ubuntu :: Crash - Disc Check Hangs Then Browser Won't Open

Feb 1, 2011

Running Maverick on my desktop. Had a strange happening sometime last night. I generally leave the computer on all the time. When I got up this morning, I saw that my computer had rebooted and it said that it wanted to check for disc errors and that there was a problem with /home It checked until about 70%, at which point it stopped advancing for a half hour, so I did a hard reboot and choose "I"gnore when I got the message again.

The computer booted fine. The disc manager gui seemed to think my hard drive is fine, but I didn't do the full, slow check. My hard drive is about a month old. When I opened "open office" there as a document to recover, indicating that the thing did in fact crash sometime last night. The next odd thing- my "Opera" web browser doesn't open the browser. The command it is calling up is "/usr/bin/opera %U" Doesn't do anything, nothing shows up as running in the status monitor. Rebooting doesn't change anything with opera, and I still get the request to do a disc scan and to try to fix errors.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of opera. I uninstalled that and installed an earlier version of opera. Then, I reinstalled the latest version of opera. In terminal, typing "opera" gives me the message: Could not initialize Opera. Typing "sudo opera" opens Opera. Using the icon to open opera still points to the same place, and still doesn't work. So, here are my questions:

1- How do I get a logfile of the crash that happened last night?
2- How do I figure out if there is a problem with the /home folder or a problem otherwise with my hard disc? How do I fix that?
3- Where would I point the "opera" icon so it opens normally?
4- Is there any way to recover the information that I previously had in Opera, such as passwords? I used "my opera" to recover my latest bookmarks, but that doesn't save passwords. I'm thinking maybe those files are still around, even though I uninstalled and reinstalled opera.

Fedora :: Check The Box For 'always Open In Browser Windows'

Sep 16, 2009

I'm running Fedora 11 64bit on an Acer Aspire 3935, dual boot with Windows Vista. I installed three days ago and the system is supposedly fully updated. While doing some routine configuring I noticed that I am unable to access the Preference window of File Management.

I want to check the box for 'always open in browser windows', but therefore I need the Preference window. When I try to access through System > Preferences > File Management, it says starting for a few seconds and then nothing. When I try to access through Computer > Edit > Preferences, the window crashes and disappears. I suppose there are other ways to change that setting, but in any case I'd like to get the general problem solved, not only the setting changed.

Server :: Stopping Automatic Disc Check In Debian?

Sep 7, 2010

Whenever my debian based server is rebooted 35 times it does an automatic disc check. When it does this and completes the disc check it doesn't properly establish network comms and I can't get in using SSH and I can't even ping the server.If I reboot again, it operates as normal but the problem is that the server is remote to me and I need to travel to the site when this occurs.

I'm preparing for an interview and came across this question in a forum:

If your browser crashes, how would you debug it only using the command line?

For simplicity, let's assume it's a Firefox browser on a *nix environment.

Ubuntu :: Natty Browser Randomly Causing System Crash

Jul 3, 2011

Whenever I'm browsing the web on one of my natty machines, I'm subject to periodic reboots that leave nothing in the syslog. Here's the two constants I've discovered thus far.

It only happens when I'm using a browser (plugin?).
It doesn't matter whether I'm in Chromium or Firefox.
It doesn't matter whether I use Unity or Gnome 2.
This happens every 2-3 days from what I can tell.
This problem is not power related because I've tested it with and without an UPS present.

The computer does a full reboot without any shutdown procedure.

The configuration of this computer is as follows:
Intel i3 2100
ECS H67 Dual Nic
Haupaugge Dual ATSC Tuner
MDADM RAID 10
8GB 1333MHz (MemTested)

The browser plugins are as follows:
Flash 10.3r181
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.32.0)
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem)
DivX Web Player version 1.4.0.233
QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6

Ubuntu :: Disc Tray Wont Open?

Jun 19, 2011

Ubuntu wont recognize my disc drive. I installed Ubuntu with Wubi, so I have dual boot. I have the latest Ubuntu. On Windows 7, my disc drive works fine. On Ubuntu, however, the tray wont open. I also tried going to terminal and typed "eject" and "sudo eject" and I receive this message:eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but when Ubuntu OS starts up, it takes a while and says "ata3 soft reset failed" or something like that. I had to set the delay to last longer so it could start up

Security :: Check Mail Via Tor And Browser Says Connection Untrusted?

May 20, 2011

I was recently connecting securely to the website where I have my mail account, and I connected through Tor. When doing so firefox presents me with the screen saying that the connection is untrusted and it can't verify the certificate. So I cancelled. I'm using torbutton and I turned torbutton to off and connected again with no problem. Then with torbutton on again, same thing (untrusted).

Is it possible the exit node I was going through is doing a man in the middle attack? However later when connecting through tor I did NOT get the warning about the site being untrusted. I really don't know what exit node I was using when I got the certificate warning and what exit node I was using when I did not recieve the warning. I don't know how long I stay on the same node or how/when it changes.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Boot Hangs To Check Hard Drives Not There?

Aug 7, 2010

I just upgraded to 10.04 and it went very smoothly. Only problem is that this version now tries to check a couple of hard drives that are external and not attached to the system. They were set up some time ago and the boot will not proceed unless I manually enter "S" to skip. I have removed folders for these disks that were in /media/... but that didn't solve the problem.

Fedora :: Can't Get A Single File On Disc To Open / Solve This?

Apr 9, 2011

I haven't used Fedora or anything except Windows in my entire life. I decided I would wipe my windows machine and try out Fedora 14.

I did a fresh install, rebooted the computer, and inserted a disc containing the following software: Medialink Wireless-N USB 2.0 adapter Model MWN-USB150N. It a wireless USB adapter so that I can connect to the Internet.

I can't get a single file on the disc to open. The disc is fine because it opens on Windows just fine. When I try to load it here I either get: Unexpected Error: Error reading from file. or An error occurred while loading the archive or There is no application installed to run executable files. I can't do any updates I guess until I get connected to the Internet.

Ubuntu Installation :: System Boot Hangs At Battery Check After Upgrade?

Apr 28, 2011

I've just upgraded to Natty. During the upgrade no errors showed. However, when I now boot ubuntu (either recovery mode or normal), the boot process hangs at:

'checking battery state'

I searched for similair problems in this forum, but the solutions in other posts(sudo apt-get update & upgrade etc.) did not help. I'm not sure if it is related or important, but when it hangs, it also shows something like:

'starting automatic crash reporter [fail]'
'not starting jetty'
'saned disabled'

(I can't copy there of course, so it is probably not exactly like this, or in this order...) What can I do to get my ubuntu boot again?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't open any folders. Nor can I put any files onto my desktop. I read on another thread that you should try reinstalling Nautilus, so I did that, and nothing changed. I also tried to open a folder in the Terminal, in this case the downloads folder, and I got this.

this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.

Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.

Ubuntu :: Firefox / Web Browser Can't Open Downloaded Imasges

Jan 8, 2010

Firefox / Web Browser Can't ipen downloaded images.I have been using Firefox 3.0 with good success, and recently switched to Firefox 3.5 (unbranded version,called A Web Browser).I was looking around in Google images and downloading a few images in Web Browser 3.5, when my problems began.Firefox and Web Browser run off the same profile, and neither browser will open image files correctly.I call Web Browser WB for short.All of a sudden I cannot open jpg images.I saved image as and when the download was complete, I tried to open it.WB needed an application to open with, so I selected to open the containing folder instead. WB needed an application to open with again.

Not knowing the name of the Ubuntu image viewer, (which is eog for Eye of Gnome) I went over to /usr/bin and selected the document viewer, evince, to open the jpg image, which didn't work, so I selected nautilus as the application to open the folder with.Now I can open the folder all right, and from there, I can open the jpg picture from within that folder, but I am now told in the WB and Firefox download window that /path/ to/picture.jpg is not a folder in response to my trying to open the downloaded image.I performed some other checks:I can successfully download and open a pdf document;I cannot open a png or gif image, for they are not folders.

A check of Preferences and Applications tab shows no listing for jpg, gif or png or the word image under content type. There is no provision there to create a new entry, either.I checked and compared Firefox Preferences Applications tab with that of Web Browser. They appear to be identical in content.What do I do next? I will log out of 9.04 and back in again, and if that doesn't work, I will restart the computer after I finish my post. Then I will come back with the findings.

Ubuntu :: Restrict User To Only Open Browser And Shutdown?

Jun 4, 2010

We just installed Ubuntu latest version (10.04), and what we are willing to do, is restrict the main computer user (none-administrator) to be only able to use web browser (Mozilla Firefox or some other) and that is it. Not allowed to do anything else, apart from this, and shutting down the station. How and where should we apply this type of limitation on a user?

Ubuntu :: Simple Script That Open Spotify From Browser?

Aug 29, 2010

I am using spotify native for linux. I would like to make it work with the browser so when I click on a spotify link it opens spotify and it goes to the right song/playlist/user I have not much idea of linux. I am a standard user. I am a philosophy student if you know what I mean. On their website I found a script. But it is for wine. I need one that uses the native binaries (I have checked that /usr/bin/spotify actually exists)

Code:
echo '#!/bin/sh' > $HOME/bin/openspotify
echo 'exec wine "C:Program FilesSpotifyspotify.exe" /uri "$@"'
>> $HOME/bin/openspotify
chmod 755 $HOME/bin/openspotify

I would really apreciate if you could change that script so it works with spotify native.

Ubuntu :: Takes A Long Time To Open A Browser ?

May 11, 2011

After upgrading to a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04, I have found that it takes a lot longer to open any browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera. Does anyone know why? I thought 64 bit Ubuntu should be faster than the 32 bit version. Nevertheless, I see no difference besides the browser problem mentioned above.
