Ubuntu Installation :: Install On Sun M40 Workstation ?
Aug 4, 2010A few years back, Ubuntu announced a "partnership" with Sun Microsystems, and explicitly listed the Ultra 40 Workstation is compatible with the then current version of Ubuntu. I installed that version (8.04) on my Ultra 40 M2 workstations, and everything worked very well. I later upgraded them to 8.10 and then 9.04, with good results.
Well, now I'm trying to jump to 10.04, and I'm having no luck.
A fresh install seems to hang at GRUB (as near as I can tell.) I get a quarter screen of magenta (the top 1/4 of the screen turns magenta) and then ... nothing. Hang. I've tried re-installing with the full graphical install, and got this hang from the Live CD. Using the "alternate install" CD in text mode, everything seemed to install fine, but the first reboot hangs immediately.
Suspecting GRUB 2, I moved to another machine and decided to try an in place upgrade rather than a fresh install. I figured that the upgrade would retain Grub 1, and I'd have a better chance.
So far, "better" is a good word. Only a little better, though, unfortunately. The upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 seemed to work OK, but upon reboot, I got a message telling me that it was waiting for the partitions to mount. <ESC> gets you to a recovery console, which is great. I can mount all the partitions by hand, and they seem to mount, sort of. "df" doesn't see them, but you can access all files on all partitions, so they really are mounted. When you exit the recovery console, however, you go back to waiting for them to mount.
Have the changes to Ubuntu left the Sun Workstations behind? Do I need to switch to another distro, or put Solaris 10 back on these things? Or are we going to be stuck on Ubuntu 9.04 in our "Advanced Unix Lab?"

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install 10.4 On A Dell M4500 Mobile Workstation?
Jul 5, 2010I have a brand new Dell m4500 workstation. Here are some hardware features:Core i7-820 processor4 GB RAM256GB Solid state diskNVidia quadro FX 1800M graphics cardWhen I try to run the 10.04 graphic installer (from a CD or from a USB stick built using pendrivelinux) I see all of the text information as it is loading (i.e. all the white text and dots and stuff) but then the screen just goes blank.
When I try to run the 10.04 alternative installer from a CD, I can install successfully, however when I boot into it, I get the same problem as the installer. I see a bunch of text as it's booting up, and then the screen goes blank. I figure this is a graphics driver issue, so I downloaded the NVidia drivers, and then tried to start the computer in "recovery mode" to get to a root shell and install the drivers. But after selecting "recovery mode", I again see a bunch of white text, and then I get a momentary (~0.5sec) view of the recovery menu (i.e. dpkg, root, netroot, xfix) or something like that. Then... surprise... the screen goes blank.I tried both the 10.04 64bit and the 10.04 32bit versions with the same results.
After installing 10.04, and after booting up with the blank screen, on a whim I entered my user name and password and happened to hear that familiar login sound... though the screen is still blank. I tried logging into the root shell from the "recovery mode" via memory (pressing down a whole bunch, and then up one), and then I tried to run the NVidia display driver installation by typing the installer name, and then by entering options based on notes I took when I ran the installer from 9.04... however since I can't see the screen there's no way to tell if that worked... and nothing has changed.I'm currently running 9.04 which is working moderately well, with the exception that the SDCard reader and the network card don't work. I'm using a USB network device for now. I don't know enough about linux to know how to diagnose this problem
Ubuntu :: Cannot Remove/install VMware Workstation
May 9, 2011I've been trying to install VMware workstation 7.1.4- but I've run into a problem. Due some bugs i've had to install vmware a couple of times. Now one time I removed /etc/vmware before uninstalling it. This might be stupid but after I've done this vmware wouldn't uninstall anymore. It would say that there where instances of vmware running though I've never even been at the point that I ran vmware. The installer would say that vmware was already installed so it wouldn't install either. Now I've removed as much vmware files as I could find. But now if I run
Code:
sudo sh vmware-workstation-full-7.1.4-385536.i386.bundle
It wil say
Quote:
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
And then nothing. It will just silently quit. It doesn't give an error, it doesn't start the installer GUI, it will just quit. Now I suspect there are vmware files somewhere that confuse the installer but I've no idea if this is true or where these files are. how to completly wipe any vmware-workstation file from my computer as if vmware was never installed?
EDIT: if I run sh vmware-workstation-full-7.1.4-385536.i386.bundle -r, it will show the installer again but show that vmware is already installed

Feb 2, 2010I have several questions regarding installation of Ubuntu 9.10 on top of VMWare Workstation:
1) can the Ubuntu .iso be on a memory stick, or does it need to be burned to a CD, for installation on top of VMWare ??
2) VMWare workstation sits on top of Windows 7, 64 bit. Am I best off with 64 bit Ubuntu or will the 32 bit install suffice ? I am not doing anything performance heavy with Ubuntu, I am just playing with it to become more familar. I've heard such great things.
Ubuntu Installation :: Installing 10.04 Server On A Working 10.04 Workstation?
May 21, 2010I have a 64 bit Dell laptop happily running 10.04 32-bit and Windows 7 booting with GRUB. I want to also install Lucid server on a spare 20GB empty partition and I would like to have Lucid server available in the GRUB menu along with Lucid 10.04 and Windows 7.
I don't want to blow away what I already have working and last time I booted from the server CD to try to install it (9.10), it didn't look as easy as when I installed workstation. Will an install of Lucid server gracefully and safely allow itself to be put on a spare partition and install itself in GRUB or so I need to do this manually? If I lose my Lucid workstation install, I am in trouble.

Ubuntu Installation :: Compile Errors Installing VMWare Workstation 7.1.0
Aug 19, 2011I have played around with Fedora for a few years and recently switched to Ubuntu. I am installing VMWare Workstation version 7.1.0 from a retail packaged CD. When I attempt to install VMWare Workstation and VMWare Player I get the following error:

I tried installing the patch for kernal 2.6.38-8 found here - [URL] - but it did not resolve the issue. Is there a patch for kernal 2.6.38-10?
I also found this posting for the same problem: [URL]. I followed the following instructions as advised in the post . . .
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install gcc
Then enter:
uname -r
My kernel was: 2.6.38-10-generic
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic
Now run the vmware-install.pl script.
Everything ran without error. However, I continue to get the same error. Another post suggested uninstalliung and reinstalling the software, but this had no affect either. Another post suggested that after running the above update to them run the /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl script. However I do not seem to have the vmware-config.pl in my /usr/bin directory. I checked the various VMWARE directories in /etc and the /tmp/vmware-root directories but no vmware-config.pl
Fedora Installation :: F14 Workstation Does Not Boot Up Properly
Feb 13, 2011I just received a new workstation from a vendor with Fedora14 supposedly installed in it. The problem is, it does not boot up properly. Although I've contacted them to resolve the problem, I thought I'd ask here to see if I can expedite things. Bottom line, the machine goes through the boot-up process, but only so far. Rather than getting to the log-in screen, I only see a white bar at the bottom of the screen, with "Fedora14" adjacent to it. Is there a way that I can get into the set of configuration menus for setting up the OS? They neglected to include the source disks with the system, if that is what is required.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using Workstation As Wireless AP?
Jan 7, 2011I am looking to set my laptop up as a wireless AP which will allow various clients to connect to the wireless nic (wlan0), then funnel traffic to the wired nic (eth0), then on to the router, modem and Internet. I followed this guide and while I've gotten about halfway to my desired results, I've run into a wall.
I have made the changes to /etc/network/interfaces, and have successfully run the nat.sh script (or so I thought). Upon restarting my networking, the wireless AP is available, or at least appears to be. However, the laptop is unable to ping the router or Internet hosts via eth0, and when I connect to the AP, I pull a 169.x.x.x IP address, not the expected 192.168.1.xx address.
My modified /etc/network/interfaces:

Ubuntu Servers :: Domain Workstation Cannot SSH To Other One
Jan 11, 2011I have a truly freakish thing happening here. First I'll start with a general map:
Workstation A (10.10.0.100) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open
Workstation B (10.10.0.101) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to mydomain.local via likewise-open
Workstation C (10.10.0.102) - Ubuntu 10.10 NOT joined to any domain
Server A (10.10.0.1) - Windows 2003 AD Server on mydomain.local
Server B (10.20.0.1) - Ubuntu 10.10 joined to otherdomain.remote
As you can see I've successfully installed likewise and I've been able to get SUCCESS notifications from the join. I've been able to log in locally with a domain user and use a domain user password. I've also added a special Group in AD for linuxadmins and then added that to my /etc/sudoers file so I can sudo from a Domain Account. Great right? I'm slowly replacing Windows. But there's a hitch:
I can't SSH from machine to machine! but it's still not quite that simple.
I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation C as a Domain User.
I can SSH(Putty) from Server A to Workstation A and B as a Domain User.
I can SSH from Server B to Workstation C as an alternate Domain User.
I can't SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Domain User.
I can SSH from Workstation A to Workstation B as a Local User.
I can SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Local User.
I can't SSH from Workstation B to Workstation A as a Domain User.
Complicated enough for you? The simple version is that if it's joined to the domain I can't ssh into another machine that's also joined to the domain while I'm a domain user. But give me a local account and it's as if there's not problem. I tried looking through the logs to find something but wasn't about to find a "sshd" type log. Syslog was completely unhelpful as it doesn't really show anything for the time stamps of my connections. Where does one start troubleshooting this?
I thought it might be a groups thing like the sudoers file, but I don't have an ssh or sshd group. Oh and what does SSH do? What's the error it throws?
Code:
MYDOMAINdomainadmin@workstationa:/$ ssh mydomain\domainadmin@workstationB
The authenticity of host 'WorkstationB (10.10.0.101)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is OB:SC:UR:ED:FR:OM:YO:UF:OR:PR:IV:AC:YR:EA:LL:Y!.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'WorkstationB,10.10.0.101' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Here it waits for exactly 120 seconds and then...
Code:

What can I do?
Ubuntu :: Vmware Workstation 7.1.4 Keeps Closing In 11.04
Apr 26, 2011I tested 11.04 beta 1 on one of my computers and was happy to see VmWare workstation 7.1.4 to work fine on it. Then I decided to upgrade my most frequently used computer to 11.04 beta 2, but I can't get VMware to work properly. When I click on some of the function button such as start a VM or maybe change a setting VMware just closes. I can't figure it out, I've tried it with Unity, Gnome with effects, Gnome without. Nouveau driver, Distro nVidia driver, downloaded nVidia driver, and VGA driver. It was nothing to do with Video driver, but that is about the only hardware difference with the other machine that works, it has Intel Video.
