Why is it telling me that my hard drive cylinder head count isn't supported by bios when I've been using this hard drive with this bios for over a year? I mean Linux is booting off the hard drive this is supposedly unsorted apparently and managing telling me is unsupported... so it can't be that unsupported now can it? Sounds more like linux trying to blame bios for linux's problem.

Obviously the issue is SSL and Thunderbird in FC15. There are no errors/messages in the console, maillog or the in-built error console.I will NOT use mail without SSL as I may occasionally use unencrypted WiFi.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 64bit desktop and 64bit laptop. I upgraded both to 10.10 and they both have the same problem with compiz. Even though I selected the cylinder distortion, the rotating desktops will not deform to a cylinder unless I select "Wallpaper" in compiz but when I do that, the cylinder is completely transparent AND objects (like windows or bouncing/squishing icons in AWN appear not to refresh. Like a window will not disappear after closing.
As an aside, I have four different wallpapers selected for the four different desktops, but none of them display when I select "Wallpaper" in compiz, I just get the transparent cylinder.
If I deselect "Wallpaper" in compiz, the problem with the refresh disappears immediately, as does the transparent wallpapers but the cylinder becomes disabled and I am left with a cube with a single wallpaper and no ability to decrease opacity during rotation.
This has happened with both my desktop and laptop. I have tried uninstalling all compiz components in Synaptic Package Manager and adding them back one at a time in case I added some conflicting components but this doesn't seem to help.
I did not change settings in the updates, so I have to assume that the problem has something to do with a bug in Compiz. The two computers have different video cards and the drivers are up to date, so I'm at a loss.
Has anyone else found this problem? Has anyone been able to display the cylinder distortion with four desktops with different wallpapers?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Diskquota on CentOS 5.1 machine. I enabled quota for some user with 1 GB as both hard and soft limits, Grace period is 0. Every this is working fine if we work from normal user's login say (user1 who is a system user). If he exceeds 1GB its will restrict that saying quota exceeded. But, If root user copies some 500MB files into his workspace, and change the ownership of those files using following command
chown user1.user1 * ( * is 500 MB files).
Then quota is exceeded and it is showed using:
repquota /home
user1 +- 2039960 997020 997020 none 298 0 0
Here its showing as some 2GB.
Soft limit is 951 MB.
So, my problem is restrict quota from all possible ways, i.e., even if root does some copying and change permissions, it must tell that disc quota exceeded.
I'm trying to copy a 7.8GB tar.gz file to an external hard drive via command line. It gets to an even 4GB and stops, and gives an error that says "file size limit exceeded." I edited some file at /etc/security/limits.conf to look like: "root hard fsize 10024000" but that didn't do anything at all. Yes, I am copying this as root.

Some posts that I've come across indicate no problem while others indicate that it is an issue and needs to be corrected. sda1 is my /boot partition ~ 300MB and then sda2 is a LUKS volume with a LVM VG occupying the rest of the available 500GB hdd. It is my active F 12 system with no dual boot.
1. Is it a problem? 2.Can I just resize sda1 so the end does not overlap sda2? 3. And can I do this while booted from that system or do I need to do it from a LiveCD?

I am preparing a dual boot system. Used gparted to do the partitioning. Unfortunately did not notice that one can choose to align on MB (default) or cyl (probably preferable) Now my setup is running ok but fdisk reports warnings like Partition 4 not on cylinder boundary
Looking up the net I see two conflicting views on this:
1. Forget it -- cylinders are not relevant on today's disks
2. For linux this is ok but windows may clobber the adjacent partition in such a 'non-aligned' partition
The real problem is that parted, gparted, fdisk etc are mutually inconsistent in what kind of partition table is 'good' and I dont know who to believe
Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I am running Jaunty Jackalope on a new machine and after a recent update I got the following message when trying to reboot:
Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
After reading some of the info on Grub error 18 I decided to create a separate boot partition, as suggested. However, when trying to use Gparted from the live CD to create some space ahead of /sda1, Gparted would run for a while and then crash. The crash message says:
"e2fsck crashed with SIGSEGV in qsort" So now I am stuck, unable to boot from HDD and unable to create new partitions (the other partitions on the disk work fine with Gparted). Could all of this be due to corrupt /sda1 partition?
After receiving no response either here or on IRC, I copied 80 package files to a temporary directory and ran dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages with the expected result. The curious part is the delay when output redirection is not used: nothing appears until the script completes, when the result is dumped to the screen. It therefore appears that there is an upper limit to the number of packages that the script can handle, somewhere between 80 and 42,474.
Is this an undocumented feature, or just a peculiarity of my system?
I'm new to Debian and wanting to set up a local repository on my work drive. After following instructions online and copying all packages (~43,000) from the DVD set into /work/Debian/8.2/packages/ I ran dpkg-scan-packages as instructed:

This all seems in accord with the man page, and it's so simple I'm wondering what I'm missing.
I'm having a problem with setrlimit() under linux.
If i used setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS) to set a hard ceiling of virtual memory usage first, then request memory more than that, shouldn't i receive a signal like SIGSEGV?
First i tried the command ulimit in bash, which acted as if i called setrlimit(). i tried 3 programs that overflowed the memory limit i set. i though all the programs would be terminated by a SIGSEGV. but the pascal program received SIGKILL; the C++ program got SIGABRT› the C program, SIGSEGV.
I though there maybe something different between setrlimit() and ulimit, so i wrote a program in C++, fork() first, setrlimit() then execv() in the child, and wait(&status) in the parent. but i got the same result.
I was wondering why these could happen, and could anyone tell me how could i deal with them? i mean, how can i judge that the program exited abnormally because it exceed memory limit?
For the GParted partitioning options, when creating or changing a partition on a SATA hard drive, which option is best to use; (align to cylinder, or to MiB )? The newest version of GParted I used, and it did default to "align to MiB, which then created 1 MB gaps between some partitions. Is it better to have no gaps, and is this new version safe to use to move and or resize NTFS windows partitions ? Will it include the boot sector when it moves or resizes ntfs ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Squeeze on a 4 disk system, each disk set up identically with 4 partitions, with the last partition of each disk used for a raid 5 array. I used the squeeze installer, and chose the 'manual' partition option for this setup.
After installation, fdisk reports the ending cylinder number of each of the 4 disks as one more than the total number of cylinders for the disk. I've never seen this before. In the past when I've used fdisk to manually partition disks, the final cylinder number was always equal to the total number of cylinders.
For example:
Disk /dev/sdd: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000937dd
[Code]...
The disk has 60801 cylinders, and the 'End" cylinder number for /dev/sdd4 is reported as 60802. I would have expected it to be 60801. Is this a bug or problem? It's working OK, but I don't know if it will cause instability in the future.
I just downloaded the Fedora 10 cd yesterday and decided to install it. I had a partition for Fedora on my system before but I'm not really sure what I did to it. It wasn't booting and it has been so long since I messed with it I just decided to reinstall with the latest (I think I was running F9 previously). So I pop in the live CD, run the install, and then reboot into Ubuntu. I modified my menu.lst to include the new vmlinuz and initrd versions, as well as the new UUID of the partition. Now when I reboot and choose Fedora from grub's menu I get this error:
Quote:
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I found this wiki which does a pretty good job describing the problem:

However, I'm still unable to get this to work. According to many different sites out there this problem shouldn't exist on newer computers. Well, I just recently put a new motherboard into this box -- it's this one:

According to their BIOS page the first release of this was late November 2008. Yes they have had 2 updates since then but it looks like those only serve to support AM3 CPUs (which I don't have) or update some audio playback issues. I seriously doubt I need to update my BIOS to get this to work.

I can get Slackware 12.1 to boot (though it kernel panics during startup...not sure what I did to make it angry), but grub immediately fails when I attempt to boot Fedora. Here's the entry from menu.lst:
Quote:
titleFedora 10 (on /dev/sdb1)
root(hd1,0)
kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=178bc9f9-76ba-48aa-a588-de978cc1eee1 rhgb quiet
[code]...
I have verified that the vmlinuz and initrd are both correct. I put the UUID in there after running vol_id so I'm sure the entry is solid. I have tried making it "root=/dev/sdb1" which failed with the same error, and I even tried copying the fc10 vmlinuz and initrd files over to my Ubuntu partition (which controls grub) but for some odd reason the cp command takes a really long time and then I eventually get this weird error for initrd:
Quote:
$ sudo cp /media/sdb1/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img .
cp: reading `/media/sdb1/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img': Input/output error
I got the same error with the dd command too. So I was going to just try and copy the files to my sdb3 partition and then modify the menu.lst entry appropriately but that doesn't seem to be plausible at this point.
I have a motherboard that was just released about 4 months ago, an Athlon X2 6000+ CPU, and 4gigs of RAM. The drives are both SATA 300 drives...it's not like this is some old Pentium Pro and the BIOS just doesn't support large drives...this is a brand new system with a very recent BIOS version.
I have successfully quadruple booted all of these in the past, but that may have been prior to the new motherboard. So that makes me think it could be something related to the motherboard but the thing is so much newer than what I previously had, certainly that can't be the problem...can it? Then I remember that Slackware boots, so if it's truly something about how the BIOS can't access some file beyond a particular section of the disk, then it doesn't make any sense that it can book slackware. Fedora is the first partition, Slackware is the last and is like 200+ GB into the disk.
I was just reading about the whole boot process on computers and am curious as to why the BIOS can only read and execute code and data from only cylinder 0, track 0 and sector 1 of the disk being booted from? Why can't the BIOS read from any other disk location?
