I was trying to automount a few NTFS partitions last night. Upon reboot, I got the following error messages.
/device/sda2 ... is not ready or present
/device/sdc2 ... is not ready or present
Then Ubuntu just freezes. I am using Ubuntu Natty, if that helps. I am currently unable to get into Ubuntu without a LiveCD.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to unsuccessfully auto-mount my drives when starting up. I've made a script that sets me to the root using "sudo -s" and then mounts the drives. The commands to mount the drives work properly when entered into the command line, but when I try running them from an executable, they don't work. What might I be missing?

Nautilus mounts NTFS partitions when I acces them, and before mounting, it asks for root password. Is there a method to auto-mount ntfs partitions on Debian startup, without requiring root password each time they are automatically mounted ? And without installing additional packages.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have edited my /etc/fstab file in order to have it automatically mount a windows network share at startup.
The problem is, that it isn't really working during startup. After I log in, in order to make it mount I have to open the terminal and enter "mount -a".
The following is my fstab file:

I suspect this has something to do with my laptop not having made a network connection when the entries are mounted, but I'm not sure. How would I go about finding out about any errors?
Dropbox will not start properly because my Lucid installation is on a SS HD (/dev/sdc) but my data, including my Dropbox folder is on an internal NTFS-formatted HD (/dev/sda), and I also have another internal HD for backups (/dev/sdb).
For some reason I can get the backups HD to auto-mount on startup, but not the data HD. My fstab file looks like this:
I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am struggling with getting an sshfs mount mounted on system boot. I have a script that mounts the sshfs for "userA". When userA runs the script all is well - user A can access the remote filesystem, root user can't see it as expected. The basic command is: sshfs userA@remote host:/home/userA /home/userA/mountdir -p 21212 -o password_stdin < passwordfile. I can prepend the sshfs command in the script with su - userA -c and when I run this script logged in as root all is well, userA has access and all is well. If I then put this script in /etc/init.d and reference it properly in the rc. directories the mount doesn't happen. If I prepend the sshfs command with sudo, same thing. Logged in as root I can run the script and UserA has access. Run the script in /etc/init.d during startup and the mount doesn't happen. Echoing text to a log file shows that the script is being executed but no mount happens.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to set-up Virtualbox to auto-run upon startup.
I am working on my mothers computer and she has to have Windows for Internet Explorer. The websites she has to go on for work require IE6+, and there are a couple programs she has to run that only works with windows may work with Wine.
But she wants something more stable than windows... She has really bad luck when it comes to Windows, so I was talking to her about Ubuntu. After thinking everything over, If I could get her computer to startup with Virtualbox and run Win XP in it all her problems may be solved.She has 2 computers so I can play with one of them to figure it all out and she can play and learn Ubuntu.
Has anyone successfully installed the x64 on VBox? Is there a different way to install the x64, because I don't think VBox can process this version. The few problems I have are:
1) it freezes during Auto Configuration.
2) freezes during boot initialization.
3) after reboot it keeps prompting me to complete a failed install, and doesn't matter if I accept to complete or not, I have the same problem.
4) freezes randomly executing system programs.
I've been having problems with Ubuntu/Kubuntu (I switch back and forth) freezing shortly after booting and logging in. I installed 9.10 a few days ago (fresh install, new hard drive). I installed all of my packages, and everything works fine except this freezing bug.
If there is not a freeze within a few minutes after startup, then there so far has not been a freeze at all (so, if everything is fine after a short time, then everything will continue to be fine). I'll try to add some information here that will be helpful: I dual boot with Windows 7, which is installed on sda1. Ubuntu is on sdb. There doesn't seem to be any problems with this. I have an Nvidia 9800 GTX+ graphics card (I use the proprietary driver). 8 GB Ram, Intel quad 2.66 CPU.
I've been using 10.04 for a while now with no problems but for some reason it started freezing on the splash screen, 2 of my keyboards lights start blinking and thats it, I've tried with recovery mode and no luck either. The thing is I don't remember doing anything wrong.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was running update manager in ubuntu and my system froze completely. I had no other option but to manually switch of the PC. Then after restarting the PC I got some error lines but I can't remember what they said. It didn't matter which linux version I chose from GRUB, nothing worked. Today when starting up shortly after the Ubuntu 10.10 screen with the blinking dots below it I see a dos type screen with only a flashing cursor and nothing happens.
Is there any way I can fix this? Or repair the ubuntu installation without loosing all my data/settings etc? I'm running now from the live CD. I can access the disk drive that has ubuntu installed on it. I have XP running on a separate disk and I can boot into XP from my motherboard's bios boot menu.
I am using Ubuntu as the client machine operating system. I have a start up program to connect to a Windows terminal Server. I am needing assistance in how I can force the client to logoff if the terminal connection is terminated for any reason. This is more of a security issue as we do not want the students using the computer to access the loacl machine at all. The program works great on boot, but it shows the home screen when terminated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure Red Hat ES to automatically start WebSphere Application Server (WAS) automatically upon boot after DB2 services (which already start on boot) are loaded to avoid WAS errors. Note that WAS runs under the jvm so there are processes named WAS or WebSphere when it is running.
My question is, do any of you know a way to setup Linux to automatically start WAS after DB2 services have been successfully started? The web apps running under WAS will have errors if DB2 is not up and running when WAS starts up. I think a 30 - 60 min delay between startup of DB2 and startup of WAS would work perfectly. I am not sure which config file would need to be updated with the call to command to start WAS (I have the command, just don't know where to put it) nor do I know how to ensure DB2 is running before WAS starts in a config file. Right now, I have DB2 loading on boot and WAS starting after I login to xterm.
I have used a few versions of ubuntu now and each one seems to encounter the same problem loading ubuntu.

If I have a mouse, printer or even wired internet connection plugged in at any point during startup I will not be able to get past the login screen. I can login fine but the system freezes at the beige screen before the desktop appears.
I recently partitioned and installed Windows xp, which doesn't have the same problem, so I presume it is some kind of incompatibility between Ubuntu and my laptop?
I am trying to install Xubuntu on a old toshiba satellite A55. I threw in the live CD and did the try without any changes to your computer. The starts to load, when it finishes loading, and I can finally start poking around it freezes right away. When it freezes the graphics get a bit messed up, little ghost images next to their actual image appear (like a second icon of the same thing slightly offset, and blue/white) I had the same problem with Mint. Only thing I have been able to get running is puppy linux.

Celeron M CPU
roughly 750mb ram

Everything was starting up fine, then a few times it would freeze during boot, now every time it freezes during the boot. I removed quiet, and added nosplash to the grub startup option, and I see that where it waiting is on a line that says: scsi4 : mvsas There is no disk activity at this time, and it'll sit there forever.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just tried to upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 (64bit). Everything went fine until the machine tried to reboot. Now it stops while booting on the screen where the ubuntu logo and five red dots appear. I'm unable to open a terminal (alt+ctrl+f1 does not result in anything) and the only thing I've been able to do is to reboot the machine.
If I reboot by pressing ctrl+alt+delte I see some information for a short while, it seems that the boot stops on "checking battery state" I've googled this, and it seems that quite a few other have had the same problem, but they have been able to open a terminal, any ideas on how I can do this? Or any other suggestions on how to fix this?
My system is a dekstop with a Nvidia GTX 260 graphics card. I recently installed the newest Nvidia driver. I forgot to mention that I did an online upgrade.
I did a fresh install of 11.04 a week ago and I had my screen saver set to run 'Floating Feet' after 15 minutes idle time. Twice I've left my computer, and returned, clicked the mouse, and found my computer frozen on the screen saver. I was able to recover once by hitting the power button, which brought up the shut down/restart options and normal desktop. It hasn't happened since I turned off the screen saver, so I'll just leave it that way until a solution arises.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have attempted Ubuntu, Debian, and Wuby, and none of them work so the problem is not a simple Cd drive error. Ubuntu and Debian freeze at roughly the same point in the installation. Wuby installs succesfully in Windows, but then dies in attempted startup. Ubuntu won't even boot from the CD. I have tried the various "safe" installers, text only methods, none work. Strangely enough, I have managed to get Knoppix to boot from DVD. I would prefer to get Ubuntu running than Knoppix however.

My network isn't protected as we live in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) and network theft isn't a problem. We also run a self-catering cottage, and let guests have free access to our network anyway, so it is easier for guests to access our network without me having to give them all the key. When I did use wpa, it would start itself up with the laptop, so I kind of know that this might be the cause. Is there any way I can fix it without encrypting the network?
I've got an Acer 7736 and had quite a few issues with no sound after my install of 10.10. After quite a bit of fiddling I managed to get that sorted and I now how have sound. I believe I'm using alsa although pulse also does seem to be on here. The reason I say I believe I'm using alsa is that after startup, I have no sound on speakers unless I unmute it in alsamixer.
As I understand it alsa's supposed to save your settings on logout/shutdown/reboot but this doesn't appear to be the case, and I'm not able to find any asound.conf or the like in the places they're apparently supposed to be.
