Ubuntu :: Error After Upgrade - No Suitable Mode Found
Nov 28, 2010
I was given a computer that has the Ubuntu operating system installed I was able to at least get online with it. I tried to upgrade it (don't know what version was installed on it) using the Update Manager. When the computer restarted I got two error messages:
Error no suitable mode found
Error unknown command "terminal"
The system then went on through the Ubuntu logo screen but then I got a black screen. I couldn't get the computer to do anything. How to at least restore the computer back to its previous state before trying to upgrade.
I am trying to install wine in ubuntu 8.04. While installation getting the error 'No suitable package flex found'. I tried to find out flex package in adobe as well as other sites. unable to find out.
My initial installation is for 10.4 (desktop). I've configured the package manager with my proxy information under the network tab. Downloads are attempted but none are successful. example error:Failed to fetch [URL] I can download the example above via the firefox browser on the same machine configured with the same proxy. I've tried changing servers, other hacks, but no change in results. I suspect its a proxy issue, but I don't see how. I did provide the credentials in the http authentication window that my reverse proxy requires.when I try to change servers, I get this message: No suitable download server was found
I'm running NetWare SLES 10 sp3 with OES2 sp2. I was working with the folks at Novell to resolve an iPrint Print Manager problem.
During the process they wanted to perform a packet capture using tcpdump. While logged in as the root user the error no suitable device was found, and I received no data at all. This server is running on a VMWare Center. On other SLES 10 sp3 systems (residing on that same VMWre Center), tcpdump captures packets just fine. I inherited all of these servers, so I wasn't here during the initial build, but I'd make the guess that they were configured similarly. On a Server that I built recently, tcpdump works fine. On two of my Servers it does not, and gives the mentioned error.
It's not that big a deal, otherwise the Servers are communicating and working just fine. But, I'd like to get it working just because it's supposed to work. Students are off for the summer, so I have time to play.
i had tried several restrict options and disabling the slackware "no serve to anyone" default. i want the slackware system to host the ntp server for other devices to sync with so im not so hard on the remote ntp servers.
Code: # Sample /etc/ntp.conf: Configuration file for ntpd. #
Code: remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter plesk2.datacent .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 91.198.87.118.b .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 core.fr.zeroloo .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 178-26-105-100- .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 and it remains so no matter how long I wait...
Hoping to get better results with ntpdate, I stopped NTPS and tried : Code: # ntpdate ntp.skynet.be 29 Mar 09:12:26 ntpdate[4715]: no server suitable for synchronization found # ntpdate -ud ntp.skynet.be 29 Mar 09:14:02 ntpdate[4814]: ntpdate 4.2.4p4@1.1520-o Sun Nov 22 16:14:35 UTC 2009 (1) transmit(195.13.23.5) receive(195.13.23.5) .....
I am running Debian Lenny 64b, and every packages are totally updated. I have 25 identical servers. And there is just one giving me this problem. From what I see, it is not a connection/FW issue since ntpdate get replies from the ntp server (ntp.skynet.be is my isp's stratum 2 ntp server).
I cant get ntpd to synchronize with the ntp servers. I have a CentOS 5.3 32 bit Virtual Machine. I'm in USA on Pacific Standard Time. Here's all configuration and other important information for troubleshooting. Is there anything wrong with my config? btw, I used wireshark to look at the UDP packets - I dont get any responses from any of the servers back. I only see requests going out from my server, but no response. Is this a firewall Issue? If it is, then do I need to just enable UDP port 123 on the firewall?
I have a new installation. I try to boot and instead of my grub menu, I get "error: file not found" and am dropped into the rescue prompt. I have just a standard "Desktop" installation. I installed from the 5.05 net install cd. I installed grub to the MBR.
partitions are: hd0,2 is / hd0,5 is swap entering the "set" command results in: prefix=(hd0,2)/boot/grub root=hd0,2 [Code]...
I can't update my ubuntu clock with my server. If i run the command ntpdate domain.local, it gives me this erro (no server suitable for synchronization found) if i run the command nslookup domain.local it works well and found my server
I have Fedora13 OS installed in my compaq610 laptop. I want to upgrade my fedora version. What is the most suitable version to upgrade and how can I upgrade it?
I have a system running om vmware esxi with suse 9.3 i did an inplace upgrade to 10.2. i got the follwoing error during upgrade error occurred while installing grub (version 0.97) error 21 disk cannot be found. I ignore this error and the upgrade went fine. after a reboot the server works pretty fine. Except one thing GRUB.. i cannot install it on this system. i want to install grub on this system.
I have just upgraded from 11.1 to 11.4. When I boot up, I get a command line, but when I do 'startx', I get 'Fatal server error: no screens found'. I have been looking for a solution and tried 'Xorg -configure' but this gives:
Code: Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so: undefined symbol: resVgaShared
I have Fedora 10. Some web pages need plugins installed eg. quicktime etc. The web browser shows a button"Install Missing Plugins" at the top. When I click this it always says "No suitable plugins were found".
so I was trying to do sheduled updates on server, which is doing xen virtualization doing kernel update (to 2.6.18-164.el5xen) i got the following error:
Running Transaction Installing : kernel-xen [1/1] grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
and of course new kernel doesn't appears in grub.conf and don't know what is cause of this problem last kernel i was updateting in August and as i remember everything went just fine:
current kernel: 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 21:33:24 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux #cat /boot/grub/grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda
[code]....
also could it be because running kernel is removed?also could it be because of LABEL entry, not /dev/... ( as i found out it was such bug, some years time ago)
I`m having a problem with upgrading my Fedora 11 to either Fedora 12 or Fedora 13. When i start preupgrade, it lists all packages that need to be upgraded, but then it ends with the message that none of the mirrors can be found. I`m seeing the messages in the console, and indeed all the mirrors return "HTTP Error 404: Not Found". Any idea how to change this and eventually do an upgrade?. I also downloaded the Fedora 13 DVD, and tried to upgrade that way, but it never showed me the window which must give me the option to upgrade instead of doing a fresh install. The explanation in the official website clearly shows that this window exist, but after several tries with the DVD I did not get it.
My linux workstation recently crashed. After rebooting, Linux (Red Hat 5.3) will not boot properly and automatically went into emergency mode or recovery mode i think. I can still see my /home/user/ and all the files inside.I boot from CD to rescue mode and tried mounting read-only the /dev/sd5 which contains the files in the crashed hard disk to try to copy out my files but mounting was unsuccessful (invalid argument). I checked the filesystem type using fsck -N /dev/sda5 and shows it to ext2. i tried to mount another known working hdd and was successful.
My question is why in emergency mode, the crashed hdd is able to be mounted automatically as read-only but cannot be done in rescue mode thru a bootable CD?Is there any special mount options used in emergency mode?I also cannot copy out in emergency mode booting from the crashed hard disk as everything is read only.
I've seen this happening to others, but can't find the original bug report I saw. From what I can tell I'm getting the error because I am using a local mirror, as others have successfully updated using "official" mirrors.
What would cause the installer to differentiate between a local and an official mirror? I'm pulling everything anl.gov has for Lucid, Maverick, and Natty, and had no problems using the local mirror to dist-upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.
The exact error is:
Code: After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore.
This indicates a serious error, please report this bug against the 'update- anager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report. main.log from /var/log/dist-upgrade:
I tried to upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 12, but after preupgrade got everything ready I rebooted. Anaconda searched for storage devices and then said "No upgrade root found". What can i do to continue the upgrade manually?
I have a weird problem here with a 9.04 server. We have a raid 5 disk formatted in EXT4 which remounted automatically when we accessed to the lost+found folder which is in the root of that disk.
I tried to delete it but I can't. It's a bit annoying because I have to prevent all users and backups to access to that folder.
I recently did a reinstall on my system and I am now running Squeeze. I am currently trying to get some software running, but I believe I am having issues with the graphics requirements. The software needs an X server with 8 bit / PseudoColor mode. It is recommended to work in "8,24"-overlay mode. This was set up on my old install on this computer, so I know it is not a problem with my graphics card. But in the installation guide it says to enable this function it is necessary to add some information in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. The problem is I don't have this file. I had this file in my old install, but on the fresh install it is not there. I have the /etc/X11/ directory, and it contains: directories: app-defaults, applnk, cursors, fonts, twm, xinit, xkb, Xreset.d, Xresources, Xsession.d
I think I've looked through everything in the /etc/X11/ directory but I don't see anything that looks like the XF86Config-4 file. Is there possibly a package that I am missing or something I need to run to create this file? I know on my old install this file was created or modified by running 'xf86config' in the command line. I've tried that, but it tells me 'command not found'.
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

After upgrading to 9.10 Karmic Koala, my Amilo Laptop (AMD64) refuses to boot. I installed GRUB2 which works fine for my WinXP ... and Karmic will boot in recovery mode.
When trying a normal boot, I get a black screen. CRTL-ALT-F1 yields just a blinking cursor. The system will immediately reboot when pressing CRTL-ALT-Entf.
When booting in recovery mode, I choose "Resume normal boot" from the menu, log in while in cosole mode and enter "startx" ... and the grafic environtment works fine!
Why does the system work in recovery mode, but does not start with a normal boot?

Here's some information on my system:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.31-17-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu ) #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009
I am having a problem installing SLES11 on a new server. It goes fine through the setup until it gets to GRUB, it gets me the following error message: Error occurred while installing GRUB
Ubuntu 9.10 was set up to handle the booting selection - previously I thought it was xp but Ubuntu 9.10 "did" it. The system started out as a xp / ubuntu 9.10 dual boot on a 400gb drive. xp has 210gb, ub has 80 and their is a 100gb shared storage. Xp was installed first and then I followed a guide over at linuxconfig.org to get ub installed so that I could select which OS was wanted at boot. Ubuntu manages the boot up menu (Went back to look at my notes from the original setup) The owner tried to update to ub 11.04 and afterall was said and done the machine now boots to the message
error file not found grub rescue I can't say if 11.04 was properly installed or not. Ask whatever you like and I'll give the best answer I can. I think the xp install is okay but I can't say for certain as I don't know how to boot it outside the bootmanager at startup. Data has been saved so if I have to blow it all away and start over I can but I'm hoping I won't have to.
