Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 - Interface Not Running / Showing
Nov 17, 2010
I have ran the installation of Ubuntu (10.10) on my Acer Aspire computer, I chose to wipe the disk and use only linux, however after installing and restarting, I get some sort of terminal/command line and not the actual operating system. I did not install Ubuntu Server and this disk worked on another computer (actually the one I am typing this on right now).
I have just installed debian-live-8.3.0-i386-lxde on my old hp530 32-bit laptop
Everything went well but every time I start my laptop I get following message which lasts for approx 1m 20s ...
Code: Select allLoading, please wait... fsck from util-linux 2.25.2 fsck error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/sda1 fsck exited with status code 8 [ 13.941532] systemd-fsck[145]: DEBIAN8: clean,140919/640848 files, 978992/2560942 blocks [ ***]A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces. (1min 20s / no limit) with the 3 asterisks above moving back and forth.
... then it boots OK into operating system. so apart from the delay everything is working ok.
My professor gave me an older ThinkPad, i1161, because he wants me to learn linux. So far, I successfully downloaded Hardy Heron onto the computer, using the Alternate version. Everything works great, and I can log on, play games, go into word processor, the whole nine yards. Unfortunately, the computer won't connect to the ethernet cable that I have plugged in. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but that is probably because I don't know where to begin.
I also get an error message during boot, it says "ACPI no DMI Bios year" then it says "ACPI=force is required to enable ACPI. I don't know what this means, but I fugured it might have something to do with the ethernet.I am connecting through my University internet. Also, under Network Settings ->Connections, it only has one option, "Point to point connection" and it says "This network interface is not configured."
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section, so please move it if it isn't.I currently have a bunch of laptops for testing a distributed network - throughput etc., using a bunch of bash scripts that send or listen to multiple addresses and ports, which run iperf. But at the moment I have to run it from each machine, or log in through ssh.To make this easier, I'd like to be able to present a bunch of buttons and selections from a web interface, so I can just put in the hostname of each laptop, and then click on a presented 'send' or 'listen' button to then execute iperf, and be able to kill it early if need by, say, by a 'stop' button.
What is the best way to go about this? Python, JavaScript, Java Servlet?And how would I do it? Just one of the above on Apache or something on each laptop?I just don't which direction to start heading in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.BTW. The network is considered to be not connected to the Internet, so I'm not too concerned about security, but if you've got any suggestion of how to start and stop iperf securely from a web interface on a machine, I'm interested.
I just took a class on sql, unfortunately, it was Windows-centric, which means I have to figure out how to do stuff in Redhat by myself. By installing mysql via yum and then running pirut, I find there is an interface type program called MySQL-python-1.2.1-1.x86_64 so I installed it but I'll be danged if I can find any information on how to actually run the thing. What is the command to start MySQL-python-1.2.1-1.x86_64?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm running Skype 2.1 (Beta). Whenever I "x" out of the Skype program, from what I can tell it's minimizing the Skype program and not actually terminating the thread (just as it does in Windows), however when I "x" out of Skype the icon is not showing up in the system tray (but it does in Windows). So one would think that it's not running, however if I try to re-launch Skype I get an error message stating: Another Skype Instance May Exist.
I confirm this by going to System > Administration > System Monitor and sure enough, Skype is running. So if I "x" out of the program, how do I switch back to it because it's not showing up in the system tray? One last thing : Alt+Tab does not work. It will list the other programs running, but not Skype, despite the fact that it is running.
I decided to have a go at running conky on my 11.04 desktop. It isn't showing any wifi activity, even though i'm obviously connected. also, is there any place where i can see the whole list of options that can be added to it?
suppose I have multiple interfaces installed on my machine. The question is how to specify which interface to use while starting a web-browser.What I would like to make possible is something like:Code:browser_name interface addressif it is possible in for any web-browser or via scripts please advise me accordingly.
Running 11.04 with the gnome3 team ppa and runs as smooth as silk but cannot find a setting to not have two partitions mounted in fstab and Home and Computer from being mounted on Desktop?
eth0 is connecting via a Cisco switch to the outer world and eth1 and eth2 to internal networks.
eth1 and eth2 are working without problems all the time, however I have the following incident with eth0: although it is RUNNING, and after it works for some time (like some hours), it then becomes incapable of sending/receiving traffic. Here are more details, after the interface exits the RUNNING state:
I am wondering whether there this is because there is not traffic for some time and so the interface goes to idle. Is there any parameter I can tweak in RHEL6 to force the interface to remain RUNNING even in the absence of traffic (although I would be expecting that some 802.1 packets would be periodically flowing from the switch to the interface)?
using mint 10, now after updates my system is barely working. The programs were no longer showing in the task bar, and the system was running much slower.
[code]...
This repeated over and over again. My temperature was never to high 40-55, and I found a suggestion to update my kernel to 2.6.37-020637. After doing so there is no longer the thermal limit exceeded error but the computer is still running poorly. The system is slow and again no programs are showing up in the task bar when open.
I can only access the Transmission web interface while the Transmission-gtk client is running. When I close it, the web interface is no longer available. I try to manually start the transmission-daemon, but the process never shows up as running.

I just had an ATT Uverse RG installed. However my Smoothwall router that previously worked fine with the ADSL SpeedStream is no longer accepting an address assignment DHCP ip address from this new gateway. (3800HGV-B)Any thoughts ideas or experience working with this hardware? ATT only supports Windows and Mac

Having one issue with evolution not showing html websites showing up in email like verizon sending a promo. I have gone to edit, preferences, mail preferences, html messages and have always load images from the internet chosen. I have also added sender to contacts. Even if I right click message and tell it to dload images it doesn't.
When I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output of xrandr when the laptop is connected:
When I do...# iptables -L...I see rules in my INPUT and OUTPUT chains that look scary:ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere...but these rules only apply to the loopback interface. I tested it and the server cannot be reached on open ports from the outside world. How can I make iptables show the interfaces that the rules apply to?Otherwise, every time I do iptables -L it will scare the crap out of me.
I found multiple sites explaining how to add IPs to a network interface as virtual interface like eth0:0. However I can add IPs to an interface as well using the ip command: ip a a 192.168.2.2/24 dev eth0 What I want to know is how I can make this persistent on rhel/centos.
I've got a laptop on which I want to install Ubuntu. I've downloaded the disc, burnt it (no errors, verified) and it boots up (with the CD in), shows a short BIOS-style copyright notice, then just a black screen with white text flashing across the screen a thousand times faster than I can read it. If I press a key, the background changes purple, then back to black if I press another key.I can't even SEE the installer. It's kind of like what happens if you set an old CRT monitor to a resolution it can't handle - but the laptop is an LCD that does 1280x800 maximum. What's going on?
i want to install Debian through LAN network, Here i have configured dhcp, tftp and pxe for net-booting.I have followed following link instructions for netboot: URL...For me network booting is working with the help of PXE but i am not able to get the option NFS for installing Debian through NFS,I am getting option only to install through mirrors and manually enter of the mirror.
So I just partitioned my hard-drive, one side with windows the other to set free for ubuntu. It all worked fine. I put in the liveCD of ubuntu 9.10 and installed on to the partition. However, I have a problem. When it boots up it asks me to either boot into linux 2.6 or windows 7. Windows 7 works fine, but when I boot into ubuntu, the loading screen comes up and then it doesn't seem to boot into GDM. It's all command-line interface. I've tried sudo apt-get update and upgrade, but it isn't connected to my network yet so I can't do that. What can I do?
I'm working with Ubuntu for several months now, mainly for programming (so I'm pretty newbie), and I really liked it, so I deiced to install it on my old parents PC, so everytime I come home to visit them I won't have to install the entire OS all over again (somehow they manage to kill windows in few month ).so for my problem I download the last Hebrew Firefox from Mozilla Israel site firefox-3.6.10.tar.bz2.how do I install it ?
How can I install a minimal GUI interface, on a Ubuntu server? And more: Suse has a RUNLEVEL tool, to select application to be launched. What in Ubuntu? I need a GUI interface ONLY to use some useful administration tools, no other application, and need to charge the system as less as possible.
