I installed Ubuntu some days ago. It is really great, so much better then Vista But, I�ve got a small problem.When I try to install/update software, I get the following error:Quote:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.It is very annoying, since I can�t install software now
I switched to Ubuntu a few months back and now have a problem I can't figure out and would like a little guidance. When trying to run Terminal or Synaptic I get the following error... E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I'm getting these messages Over SSH with the -D switch
Code:
At uni I did this for a couple of reasons, primarily to connect to trackers for bittorrent. I would get these messages fairly often but I never thought much of it because I figured I was just loosing packets over the network or something (understandable in my situation). At home I decided to continue to use this method because that computer is set up in DMZ and is very useful. I havn't received many of these messages but recently all my torrents stalled and I had a whole bunch of these messages. Is it possible my computer just cant handle all the network connections (it's a 2ghz AMD running debian)? What exactly do these messages mean? Is there any way to optimize my connection in any way?
I installed 9.10 on a Vista 64-bit PC with AMD64 dual core. I have 3 hard drives. 1 x partitioned in to 2 for Vista and its appluications on the other partition. I have another hard drive partitioned with one for documents and the other for Ubuntu OS. The 3rd hard drive was for future backup....
I started to install Ubuntu 10.4 with the Update Manager. It got to the stage where it had just finished downloading the new files.when suddenly, I assume as it started the install, all hell broke loose and it crashed. At first I could restart the machine and could see I had lost system info: there were no "SHUT DOWN", "Network" and other buttons and notifcation tablets on the ribbon. The Update Manage was missing bits too.
It did suggest "re try" but that would not work. I then tried Symnaptics and did a "fix broken items". It found over 90, but could not install them. Then it stopped working all together. I can not gain access. It did break Vista too but I managed to get that up and running again, but I have files on the desktop, the Evolution eMail has vast amounts of stuff and I would like to keep the settings in Firefox.. I have tried using the 9.10 CD to fix but if I go in as "trial" and use the update manager or Synaptics it can not complete the install, it says out of memory.
I am happy to reload the OS, either one, but how do I do it without destroying my valuable data..I have two machines I have been working on and neither have worked! See other thread.
Yesterday I tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 using the upgrade manager. About half way through, my computer froze up and the only thing I could do was reboot my computer. It had already finished downloading all the upgrades and the computer froze while it was trying to install the upgrades. When I boot my computer and the Grub screen appears, I chose the Ubuntu OS (I have a dual boot system of Ubuntu and Windows XP). When it goes to boot Ubuntu, it gives me a blank screen and then a box in the right hand corner that says this: "Install problem! The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."
Then the screen remains blank. No cursor, no mouse pointer, nothing. I have researched this error message and it is either caused by not having any free space on my hard drive or that the upgrade packages weren't installed properly. In my case, it could be both. It is definitely the packages not be installed properly but I don't know how to find out if there is no free space on the hard drive partition for Ubuntu. Some of the solutions are to use the following commands in the terminal: sudo apt-get clean sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
The last command might cause me to lose previous settings, so that would be a last resort if the first two commands don't work. So my main issue is that I cannot open a terminal. My computer is set up to automatically log in. When my computer boots, I have the Grub screen which allows me to choose the Ubuntu OS, Ubuntu in recovery mode or Windows Xp. However, when I choose Ubuntu in recovery mode and select "c" for the command line, it does not recognize the "sudo" command. Same when I choose the command line in the regular Ubuntu OS. When I type "sudo apt-get clean" (without quotes), it says "Sudo command not found." I cannot find the command lines that would be the equivalent of a "sudo" command to use in recovery mode.
If you hit the TAB key while in the command line of recovery mode, if gives a list of commands but I don't see a way to open up a terminal window. For example, when I type terminal_input, it just says, Active: Console, Available: usb_keyboard." I have also tried selecting the Ubuntu OS, waiting for it to boot and then hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 but it does not give me a log in screen. I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F2 and Ctrl+Alt+F7 and neither of those give me a log in screen either. It is just a blank screen. No cursor or mouse pointer is visible. All I want is the ability to open up the terminal so I can run "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo dpkg --configure -a".

I am trying to configure and compile the pam_ldap and nss_ldap for MIPS architecture. for this they need ldap library. so I am trying to compile openldap code for MIPS first, but the configuration is failing.The command and options used for configuration is as follows.

ive installed ubuntu 9.01 on a external HDD. I have windows on my internal HDD and whenever I unplugged the USB HDD and turn on the computer I get Failed To Load Grub. I fixed this by restoring windows boot.ini file but now when I try boot from the external HDD (USB) it says Failed To Open Operating System and nothing else.
I run Ubuntu 9.10 locally connecting to CentOS5 on a remote server.When I run the following command in the Terminal;ssh -v -L 10005:localhost:10000 root@remote_ip_address -F ~/.ssh_config -i ~/.ssh/private_key_file_nameafter 'Authentication succeeded (publickey)' I get the following for channel 1;sys_tun_open: failed to open tunnel control interface:Permission deniedhowever, it does open an interactive client-session on channel 2 and my browser will then connect (via URL localhost:10005) to Webmin on the remote server which is the object of the exercise.However, because sys_tun_open failed, I am concerned that the transactions may not be encrypted as I understand they would be in proper tunnelling
I have configured the remote installation of Fedora 13 with kickstart with nfs installation method. All work ok until I boot the Fedora 13 client system.
Fed13 client system receives the IP address from dhcp, receives the loader, loads vmlinuz and initrd.img from tftp, load anaconda, configures the network and dev eth0, mounts nfs server to load kickstart file, loads kickstart file (language...) but when it tries to mount nfs server to install from Fedora 13 installation tree it fails.
First, I thought that I had an error on my NFS configuration but I was wrong. I opened tty with ALT+F4 on the Fedora 13 client and I sew this error:
Code:
Is this a bug or can I modify anything to correct this error? How?
Having an odd boot message with Ubuntu 10.04. I've had it since I first installed Ubuntu a few months back and I am getting tired of it slowing down my boot up time.No luck on the Ubuntu forums or bug reports; no one seems to know what to do.uote:udevd-work [332] open /dev/null failed no such file or directory
There appears to be lots of advice some of it is working and some of it is not. I purged and reinstalled wine but still am getting the following error.

My scanner is Benq 5000 ,the default scanning software (xsane) give me the following message whenever I plug the scanner to the pc : Failed to Open Device 'Snapscan:libusb:005:002' Invalid Argument. I tried the gnome image scanning software too but it didn't recognize the scanner at all. The only software that worked is vuescan but unfortunately it is non-free software !!!!
Vista refused to boot past login and eventually froze up in safe mode, preventing me from even safely copying files to a storage device. My friend suggested trying Ubuntu temporarily, and I'm currently running it as a trial from a key thob.I'm very much a newbie to the OS but after some getting used to and playing around over a few days Im happy to make the switch permanently. I managed to take off the needed files, and then went on to do some cleaning up of my harddrive to make some room for a partition for Ubuntu. I was removing things like old music, videos and games, nothing vital, but after I reset I tried to enter the C drive Im given this message:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Failed to open hiberfil.sys data attribute: No such file or directory Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': No such file or directoryMy HD is currently partitioned for two 150gb drives, and I can still use my D drive fine for all purposes.
My problem has to do with playing a mov video. It's very strange. - In mplayer I have audio but not video appears. - In Movie Player I have video but not audio - In VLC I have not video and the audio is wrong (a lot of noise).
This is the output when I try to open with mplayer: MPlayer SVN-r31061-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.
I just isntalled LAMP using tasksel and have a problem. Whenever I try to access a page (aside from phpmyadmin, that works well), I get this error... Code: Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0
I have restarted the computer, restarted apache, etc and still nothing. When I first installed, phpmyadmin was inaccessible, so I ran some command in terminal which apparently created a symlink between phpmyadmin in the user/share dir to the /var/www dir, and curious if this is the problem. I have no clue how to remove this symlink if this is the case, and have phpmyadmin working now due to install using sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin.
I have installed virtualbox on opensuse 11.2 64bit.
When I go to open a machine it says
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows XP. The virtual machine 'Windows XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1."
" Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Machine Interface:

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary."
I need to use usbip to work with the webcam from another computer. But when I installed (using YaST) usbip and launch this, I see errors: # usbipd usbip err: stub_server.c: 433 (do_standalone_mode) open usb.ids usbip err: stub_driver.c: 33 (open_sysfs_stub_driver) usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko must be loaded ** ERROR **: driver open failed aborting... Emergency shutdown # usbip usbip err: vhci_attach.c: 586 (main) open usb.ids Usage: usbip [options] ...
So, i've rebuilded all VirtualBox dependencies with safe flags, then i've recompiled most of the sys-* packages also with safe flags. However VirtualBox still doesn't work.
UPD: virtualbox-bin-3.1.4
UPD2: 3.1.6 and ose-versions crashes with same errors
I also had ever tried all methods they mentioned, but my problem is still there. I am using a MAC OS X 10.6 ssh a remote redhat server. I hope to see X of redhat on my own MAC. Below is what I've done: 'MAC_ip' stands for my mac; 'redhat_ip' stands for redhat server.
1) ssh to redhat server 2) change to root 3) type command: DISPLAY=MAC_ip:0.0 4) type command: export 5) Back to MAC 6) change to root 7) type command: xhost +Redhat_ip 8) vim /etc/ssh_config, add X11Forwarding yes 9) Back to redhat, type: xclock
I got below message: Error: Can't open display: MAC_ip:0.0 I also tried some methods to login as others suggested:

I am not sure which filetypes are affected by this bug, but I can play *some* files. The specific file here used to work a few days ago. Code: kalle@hoppers:~> file somefile.wmv somefile.wmv: Microsoft ASF The only major thing referring to multimedia in the past few days I remember is installing 'h264enc' from Packman, however, meanwhile I uninstalled this package, yet the problem persists.
