Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Get Past "unknown User Id (0)" During Install From CD / Fix It?
May 11, 2011
Due to the flaws in 11.04 (Natty) I decided to reinstall earlier 10.10 release. However, when reading the installation CD, I can not get past the following error message code...
I tried also two releases older Lucid (10.04) and I get the same behaviour.
I do not see any reason for this to start to happening now, after I was able to install my previous releases without problems. I upgraded to the problematic Natty release online.
Whenever I try to install Xubuntu onto my really old computer (not this one), it goes to a screen that shows nothing except the Xubuntu logo and the name. After a bit, my monitor falls asleep, and I am unable to wake it back up.If I press enter while at this screen, it brings up the error message in the title. The same thing happens with all the options I try to press.
I cannot install the newest Ubuntu, 64 or 32-bit. On the amd release, the intro with the five red dots appears, then it goes into a white background with multiple light-purple random lines, and quits there. On the 32-bit release, the purple screen appears with no menu, with an error message.My system has an AMD64 processor, two hard disks: one for Windows, one for Linux. I used to have Ubuntu Hardy Heron on it (not the LTS version), so I erased the drive.
"(process:325): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)"
It comes after choosing language, when the Ubuntu start-up logo shows with the 5 dut under it. I am trying to install Ubuntu Netbook on a little Compaq Mini.
i just tried to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my old Amilo Lifebook P Series. But after the boot screen and the choice to install Ubuntu i get stuck at the Ubuntu screen with the little dots on the bottom If I hit esc i can see the warning (process 257): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_(r) failed due to unknown user id (0)
I just completed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop 64bit. Everything was pretty much left to defaults. When completed I enabled the partner repositories. Then ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Everything ran perfectly. When I attempted to install db2exc it failed saying it was an unknown package. I ran apt-cache search db2, but nothing came up. Was IBM DB2 Express-C package moved to a different repository or was it removed completely? Maybe a rename? I know I'm not on the up and up about this, but after doing a google search I thought I'd see something. To make sure I haven't lost my mind entirely, I installed Lucid on a test box, fresh installation, and was fully able to do the installation of db2exc.
I have set up a debian 5 server with ISPConfig and PostFix using Perfect Server toturial [url].
Now i have huge problem i'm getting eather "No such user here" message from SMTP server hosted at hosting provider or Unknow User: name from my ISP's SMTP server (free mails they provide)...
I started up my computer and suddenly, I saw that there was a new user account. I didn't create it and no one else uses my computer (let alone has access to user account creations). It was called dtc. It didn't seem to have any privileges and the only file in its home folder was called Examples. Should I worry that I might have some kind of malware? I deleted the user and the folder (and it came back after a while). It's main group is dtcgrp. The User ID is 1004.
i have an admin-account and an user-account on a computer. It's automatically log in to the user-account, but I have forgott the passwordt. I want to change it, but to how change it? I need the precent. How do i do? I have the admin password.

I recently installed Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Desktop 64-bit edition. The install worked and I was able to restart the machine no problems. Last week (5/27/10) I shut down my machine and since then I cannot boot. I assume it's because of new software maybe a new kernel; I did an "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" on May 28th or 27th. Upon booting if I hit Esc right away I see:
(process:325): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [About 5 minutes passes then this next line prints] BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) [this is some kind of shell...who can't see my harddrive]
Just installed fedora 14 and do not have a printer config app. Im not sure what packages should be installed. I just came back to linux after years off. Lots different from redhat 6.
I'm running an up-to-date Lucid Lynx, full encryption with LUKS on my Eee 1005HA. Since yesterday, after booting, the only "X" is can see is the mouse cursor above a console-like text, saying:
Code:
(process_290) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_(): failed due to unknown user id (0) init: ureadahead main process (410) terminated with status 5 fsck [clean, blah bla, check deferred, on battery]
[code]....
So, I googled for the getpwuid_r thing. I found a blog saying to install nscd (did so) and run it. But: To my inconvenience, after every booting, I have to switch to console 1, log in, run "sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart" and then "sudo restart gdm".
I've recently configured our mail server (postfix/dovecot). Everything is running, I have a reverse DNS, MX records, A records etc.. I've added the users already.Here is the problem, whenever I test email from an email client(Outlook 2003), there's no problem. But when try sending email from the outside the mail just bounce or deferred.
Currently running 10.04. Just did some updates and when it finished rebooting it just doesn't work right. Whenever I click on my user name to enter my password it freezes for 3-5 seconds then the screen reloads. If I do Ctrl+Alt+F7 I get this error(the title of the thread). I have no earthly idea what this means but everything was working great until I did my updates just a couple hours ago. on??
I just switched back to openSUSE from Fedora linux. I made a clean install of openSUSE 11.4, but had trouble when installing the boot loader. For whatever reason the auto-partition tool hadn't given me a /boot partition even though the GRUB configuration referenced it. So I switched the / partition to /boot and the /home to / and now I don't have a /home partition. Is this why my system won't boot past the splash screen in "normal" mode, but boots fine in "failsafe"?
I have 9.10 installed and working like a charm, due to the problems I had last time, I decided to leave an empty space to try and test upcoming editions, but I can't install it!
I get two error messages and can't get past the point of partition assignment.
Here's the screenshots. I'm trying to install on the free space.
having a hard time mapping a drive from a windows xp PC to a Linux Share. I have edited the SMB.conf file to include the share I want to connect to. when I try try map a drive to the Linux share using NET USE M: \192.168.15.5pairing I get the following error:"system error 1326 has occurred.Logon filaure: unknown user name or bad password."I use a username and password that is valid on the Linux server and has access to the Share.
I have this strange error - I switched from postfix 2.6.5 to 2.8.2 and I some mailservers cannot send mail to me. One of them was some sendmail server. I have virtual alias maps in mysql. It works fine for almost all server that are sending mail to me, but some of them seems to send mails as user@FQDN instead of user@virtualdomain my machine name is x49.tvujweb.cz, and mz email is kamil.horky@servis-it.net but in server logs is that user kamil.horky@x49.tvujweb.cz cannot be found in virtual alias maps.
when I try to send emails to new created emails account, I get this error:
<teste@topdapop.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table� And if I try to send a e-mail, the authentication fails if I setup the account at the desktop email client to password requirement on.
But it works when I try it using a webmail client (Horde) and I receive the email.The old emails accounts work fine. The new accounts and old ones were created with Plesk.I find an entry with
why no matter what email I send to a user I get this error relay1 postfix/local[4023]: 75941291D4: to=<username@domainname.com>, relay=local, delay=0.14, delays=0.07/0.02/0/0.05, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "username")
I try to add a new user but got error (shown in title). Is it possible to create a new user and create a new group at the same time? Or should I create the new group first then the new user?
I am trying to install ubuntu studio 10.10 it starts to go through the setup steps but after it scans the cd I get the message "Retrieving apt-mirror-setup" and it stays ay 0%.
I have tried both with internet and without and I get the same problem. It is a brand new disc with no os ever installed on it. Is the a way to force the installer to skip the mirror check?
Recently I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my HP Desktop because of registry issues, and wanting to clear the XP partition I was no longer using. I also had Ubuntu 10.04 as a 3rd partition which worked fine.
After the clean install of Win7, it is working perfect, I decided to put 11.04 as a second partition. I gave it 200gb of the 750gb HDD. It said it installed, but after Grub, it would just show a jumbled screen and freeze. So I figured maybe a video card issue, so I tried to install 10.10, when I would select it in Grub, my monitor would go to sleep as if it is no longer receiving a signal.
So I go back to 10.04 since it worked on the same machine before. I did everything as before, did it manually by setting EXT4, checking to format the partition, and mount point. It seemed to install just fine, but now when I select Ubuntu in Grub, it just goes to a black screen with the cursor blinking in the top left corner. I left it like that for a while too, just to see if it would eventually get there, but never did. Tried a couple more times and still the same.
When i try to install Ubuntu 11.04 or try without installing i get graphics like this:[URL] same with older versions, and on older versions i used to get this error: (process:257):GLib-Warning**:getpwuid_r():failed due to unknown user id(0) but on new version it dosent appear. My graphics card is: GeForce 7600GT MSI.
I need to instruct sendmail to accept mails that are destined to users that are not available on my server and then forward those emails to catchall@mydomain.tld.Please remember that i don't want to forward every single mail to catchall user. I just want to forward those emails which would be destined for users that do not exist on my server.i have used define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:catchall@d.com')but it doesn't seems to work.
start working with SA+Amavis+clamd+postfix+dovecot.will be my filter:spamassassin+amavisd-new+clamd. 1 Server will be my mail server: postfix+dovecot. Like u see, the emails from the outside reach first the filter, latter the mailbox. Now, I have seen in my log files, that if I receive a email to a "unknown user", the filter doesn't detect this and process the email and send it to the mail server. Exist a way to setup the filter to first check if the user exist and them apply all hard work and latter send the email to the mail server
I updated bind to version bind-9.3.4-6.0.3.P1.el5_2 today, and then I started getting "Starting named: named: user 'named' unknown" messages. Selinux is enabled. ID named shows: uid=25(named) gid=25(named) groups=25(named) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
