Ubuntu Installation :: 8.04 - 10.04 /dev/md0 Not Created During Boot?

Jul 8, 2010

After an upgrade from 8.04 -> 10.04 my system is unable to boot. After a lot of work it seems that the blocking problem is that /dev/md0 is not being created in initramfs so the volume group containing the / file system is not being activated and therefore the boot fails at that point. In /sbin both mdadm and lmv exist and the arrays and volume groups can be created manually using them. The system can then complete booting. Updating initramfs after booting has no apparent effect.

Based on posts I have found I have tried adding raid=noautodetect and rootdelay=240 to the GRUB kernel command line separately and together with no effect, except delaying the boot. It seems that udev is not running correctly so I began digging through the udev rules but don't really understand how it actually works.In /lib/udev/rules I found;

85_mdadm.rules
85_lmv2.rules

If I were guessing (and I am) I would expect 85_lvm2 to be run before 85_mdadm, which is the wrong order. I also found 56_lvm.rules which doesn't seem to do anything. I would appreciate pointers of testing these rules to see what the problem is. It seems all of the pieces are there for this to wok correctly but there is something missing. How can I run or test a single rule? Which udevadm options test these rules,

Slackware :: Install GRUB Via The .txz Package And It Created A Mirrored Image Of The /boot Folder?

Jan 6, 2010

In light of my previous achievement in wireless networking, I've decided to create a larger issue for myself to solve. Which hopefully I can get some help with. Because my system is totally kisspoped up, for those of you who get what that means. I was trying to install GRUB via the .txz package and it created a mirrored image of the /boot folder. Which for some reason contained the / folder. Which in turn held /boot and all the other folders / is expected to contain.

Now, trying to remove the extra /boot folder proved difficult, but once I finally was able to figure it out, I remembered I could removepkg and that would probably mend the situation. However, I was already 20-something percent through moving the files to trash. Now when I checked /, /boot was gone from there. Along with various other folders. SO! Apparently the /tmp/boot folder created was in reality the /boot folder, albeit in the wrong place and having the wrong contents. Somehow, one folder existed as two different versions of itself at the same point in time. Much as a Time Lord might. Deleting one made the other vanish with it.

Good news:I removed it via Thunar and it should be in the root user's trash /home and some other folders had yet to be trashed when I hit cancel, so I can still use some things Bad news:I never ran X as root, so I don't know if it HAS a trash folder I can only use things already started up because the binaries are gone, but the configuration files in /home are still there (although /usr/bin remains)

Ideally, there would be a big UNDO button somewhere in this long row of function keys. Reasonably, there should be some kind of restoration tool. Realistically, I think I'm going to have to reinstall the system, which wasn't easy in the first place due to my faulty disc bay which detects discs at will.

Ubuntu :: Can't Write To A Partition That Was Created During Installation

Mar 4, 2010

I just finished installing Karmic Koala on my computer a little while ago... and I chose to partition the drive manually. My computer has 2 hard drives:

Here's the HDD which boots first and has Grub and Ubuntu on it:

[URL]

And my second HDD which has Windows and a backup partition called "datas":

[URL]

And here's a copy of my /etc/fstab file:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

[code]....

The ext3 partition on the 250GB drive called "datas" is an old partition that I created while I was still using Intrepid... and it works just fine. However the partition called "archives", which I created during the installation of Karmic, doesn't seem to work properly. For some reason I can't write any files or folders on it. Why is that?

Ubuntu Installation :: Place 'root' On Manually Created LVM?

Mar 10, 2010

I'm just trying to install Ubuntu server 9.10 to a logical volume manager partition. I have two physical disks of 250GB - each has a 10GB primary partition and 240GB logical partition for LVM

I created partions using 'manual partitioning'.
It shows:

LVM VG grpA 240GB
LVM VG grpB 240GB
SCSI1 (sda) 250GB
#5 logical 240GB K lvm

[Code].....

I want '/' (i.e root) to be on a logical volume in the lvm 'grpA' (on disk sda).

But the installer does not offer creation of Logical Volumes or their format - only seems to go as low as volume group. If I try continuing installer complains that 'no root file system is defined'.

Does anyone know how I create the LV and install with root there?

(On another machine with 9.04 I used the guided partitioning with use entire disk and lvm - that just worked putting root in the lvm... but this current machine needs a specific layout).

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Forbidden Label Created For USB Flash

May 1, 2010

After finally getting Ubuntu 10.04 installed (with a few disasters along the way) I sought to recreate a shell script for backing up critical files that I had been using with 9.04. The destination for the files was /media/disk (with "disk" being the name that I had given to the USB flash drives in the past with 9.04.).

One drive mounted perfectly, and the shell script ran as it normally should. However, two other drives gave "file or directory not found" error messages and no files were copied. One of the drives lists its name as a very forbidding
"/media/5d588180-19eb-4656-8677-b652c4ed0003.

I attempted to re-name it to "disk", using e2label after un-mounting it, but that did not work? If I run the shell script on several different USB flash drives that I alternate, they must all have the same name.

Ubuntu :: Using A Locally Created Mirror For Network Installation

Nov 3, 2010

I am trying to do a net install. I set up a mirror of lenny using apt-mirror inside a virtual machine on my network using the following guide: [url]

And I changed everything in the guide specifically for Lenny.

I gave the VM bridged networking, and assigned it its own static IP address.

When I attempt do an http install, and point the installer to the address, I get the following error message: choose-mirror[3885]: WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (lenny).

Ubuntu Installation :: Created After Installing Updates Using 'update Manager'

Oct 8, 2010

I started using ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell Studio 15 laptop. Installing ubuntu has never been this easy! I used CD which used WUBIInstaller to install Ubuntu. Then I restarted my machine and selected Ubuntu from 'OS selection screen'.

I connected to my wireless broadband in few minutes and found a pop-up of 'update manager' showing 305 new updates to be download and to be installed. I installed all updates worth 370 MB and in middle got an pop-up of GRUB telling me to configure GRUB on some path. I just selected that path and clicked on FORWARD button.Then installation of updates got over and it asked me to restart machine. I restarted machine but on OS selection screen,when i selected Ubuntu it didn't boot Ubuntu but instead machine restarted again. I'm not able to boot into Ubuntu.

Fedora Installation :: User Created W/Kickstart Password Is Wrong

Aug 13, 2010

I have a kickstart script that attempts to create user "joeblow" with an encrypted password. The user is created okay, but the password does not seem to "take". After installation is complete, and the system is rebooted, this is the relevant portion of /etc/passwd:

Code:

This is the relevant portion of /etc/shadow:

Code:

Where there are two exclamation points, I would expect the encrypted password (as is the case for the root user, which is also created in the kickstart file).

The relevant line in my kickstart file looks like this:

Code:

That password string, which is 34 characters, is the word "password", encrypted with this command:

Code:

Also in my kickstart file is this line:

Code:

After the install is complete, I reboot and attempt to log in as "joeblow", but no dice. If I log in as root, and manually put the above encrypted password into /etc/shadow for jowblow, I can then log in as joeblow.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Manual Installation On Already Created Partition To Create Dual Booting PowerMac?

Jul 15, 2010

I have booted from the .iso cd I made on my Mac last night and was tempted to install it on a 6gb partition that I have on my main HDD but was a bit scared to go past the fourth (or so) step in manual installing where I pick that partition and *do what?* Is it going to install the OS on that partition and leave everything else alone to give me a dual booting PowerMac? It doesn't quite say. I am fearful of screwing up my little ol' machine. Can anyone direct me to something that gives a step by step in manual installation on an already created (HFC+) partition to create a dual booting PowerMac?

General :: Grub Boot Loader Installation In Dual Boot Machine After Windows 7 Installation?

Mar 23, 2010

I had a dual boot machine with fedora 12 and windows vista and I could use grub boot-loader to switch between two. Few days ago windows got corrupt and I have to reinstall it. I put windows 7 now and as usual it erased grub. So to reinstall I put the fedora 12 installation CD on and followed some usual setup steps. When I got the command line I issued the command "grub-install /dev/sda" (sda not hda because It showed bunch of sda, sda1..) but surprisingly it said grub command not found. I remember doing it before while it worked fine.

Fedora Installation :: Boot From Installation DVD - Boot Process Doesn't Make It Even To Anaconda

Jun 15, 2009

I'm trying to install F11 on a machine that was running well under F10 just a few hours ago. I made some changes to the disk configuration, involving the addition of a dmraid-controllable fakeRAID card (SiL 3124 I think) and creating a RAID 0 array out of the two drives connected to the motherboard itself (Intel ICH7R). Otherwise the machine's configuration is identical to the way it was when running F10. My problem is thus: when I boot from the installation DVD (64-bit), the boot process doesn't make it even to anaconda. Here is the error I get, right after md devices are autoconfigured:

Ubuntu :: How UUIDs Are Created

Jun 30, 2010

I have a 500GB SATA drive in a USB enclosure that I use to backup my system.My first step was to clone the 500GB drive in my computer to the USB drive.Now I would like to use rsync to copy changes made since that cloning to the filesystem on the USB drive.But Ubuntu will not let me mount the filesystem because it has the exact same UUID as the main filesystem! I don't know how the UUIDs are created, but without a unique UUID I do not know how to do the mount.
