Now Ubuntu won't restart the upgrade or install the packages already downloaded; it tells me it "Could not determine the upgrade" and that unresolvable problems occurred, caused by held packages. How can I reset things to restart the upgrade?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running Ubuntu (w/ GRUB) and Windows XP. I'd like to remove Ubuntu and run the recovery on Windows XP because it has started not running correctly. The computer is about 5 years old and I figured I'd just wipe it clean and start over (read: remove Ubuntu and reinstall windows via the recovery console).
I intend to follow the tutorial here: [URL]
However, I'm confused about determining the boot device number for Windows. I've run "sudo fdisk -l" and I can identify the windows drive in the list it says:
Device: /dev/sda1
Boot: *
Start: 1
End: 19352
Blocks: 155444908+
Id: 7
System: HPFS/NTFS
Am I looking for the 7, the 1, or something completely different? This is also the first partition on the list.
sda2 (id: c) is a FAT32 drive. I think this is the recovery partition included on the HP desktop.
sda3 (id:83) is Linux
sda4 (id: 82) is swap
I just need to run fixmbr.
I upgraded postfix to 2.8 today after the security bulletin from the list.
now I get the following error:
'postfix/local[2442]: fatal: unable to determine open file limit'
I can receive/send mail, it just wont let me deliver locally

After GRUB 2 comes up (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10) and I choose the OS to boot, there is about a 5 second delay where nothing appears to happen after I make the selection -- no disk activity. It happens consistently every time I boot. Again, this is after I choose the OS to boot, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the standard delay to allow me to choose the appropriate OS.Is there a good way to troubleshoot this and determine what is causing the delay?

Ubuntu is repeatedly crashing on me. It seems to be Xorg crashing, but apport only reports that various apps are crashing.The screen will go blank with a blinking dash cursor in the upper left. Then a dialog box will popup and say that xorg is running in low resolution mode. I can click ok and everything comes back up fine, but any running apps are gone.

Code:

I later realized that there are two (or more versions) of Apache, MPM Worker (threadsafe) and Prefork. Since I'm trying to get both Tomcat and PHP working on the same system I need to know what version is installed of Apache, Worker or Prefork?
Looking in the package documentation, it said something about a virtual package... Looking inthe mods-enable directory, I don't see anything that indicates one or the other.
I'm also wondering if Tomcat integration can work with prefork?
I'm writing a bash script to move files around based on various bits of metadata. For a few reasons, this script will be run regularly both from the terminal, and from the nautilus-scripts folder ("graphically", if you will). What I'm stumped on is having the script defer outputs based on which mode the script is running in. For example, how can I have the script know whether to echo error statements, or pump them out to zenity based on the method of invocation?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. So I have just returned from a week vacation to see that my / is full. When I had left, the ~80G partition was only consuming around 40G of space. I feel like this is a bug and i haven't tried a custom kernel yet to see if it is kernel level. Here is all the good information though to help debug:
Code:
mount
# mount
/dev/mapper/pdc_cfefedbci3 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[Code].....
I am using a fakeraid with dm-raid on a raid0 for my /dev/mapper discs. I just wonder if anyone else is getting this error or if it is a problem with ext4.
Is there a bash command that I can use to determine the last file access time? I know about -atime option for the find command, but I want to doublecheck to make sure that I'm doing this correctly (the output when I use find -atime isn't what I expect).

The most likely problem is obviously that the firewall in the router is blocking access. I know how to open ports in the router's firewall, but how do I determine which port or ports need to be opened?
I have asked my email provider, and that have replied that the port can vary and I need to get my technical support people to do it. Obviously they struggle to understand the concept of 'small business"!
I know this is probably a very generic linux question, but since I am using ubuntu - I thought it safer to ask here. I have jumped into the deep end of linux - and I am afraid that I will be forced to swim sooner rather than later.
Let me start at the beginning - I am and probably will be a windows fan for a long time - let me not list the reasons - or else you guys will probably hang met out to dry - the one thing I have discovered - is that windows sucks in generating a software RAID - especially the RAID 5 that i was looking for any case - after loosing plenty data via windose - I decided to attempt linux/ ubuntu. I must say - so far so good.
I used this excellent guide: [URL] and must say that the raid is performing admirably - I am currently busy adding/growing the 12th 1Tb drive onto the RAID, and no issues so far(some other major WOW advantages i have noticed... like speed writing too and reading from the RAID.. )
See below MDstat outputcat proc mdstat:
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid5 sdl1[11] sdj1[10] sdb1[1] sdm1[6] sdk1[2] sdi1[8] sdh1[0] sdg1[3] sdf1[4] sde1[9] sdd1[5] sdc1[7]

[==========>..........] reshape = 50.7% (495864576/976759936) finish=1482.0min speed=5407K/sec
unused devices: <none>
My questions :
If one drive fails on the array(for example SDK1) - how the heck do i determine which physical hardware device it is that has failed? (without compromising the other data - yes unfortunately I cant afford to backup 11TB of data - personal server). I don't have space in the box for a mouse - not even talking about a hot spare drive - thus adding the backup drive before removing the faulty drive is rather difficult - but if that's the only option I will have to keep with that as everybody know RAID5 is only 1 drive backup - so partly I would like to solve the issue as quick as possible -without having to resort to disconnecting one drive at a time to determine which is which. If the drive assignments ( SDA/SDB/SDC) is constant
What is the most intuitive/fast way to determine that a faulty drive exist in the array? - i.e. is there some sort of GUI solution for MDADM that will tell me the moment that a drive has turned faulty? - The box is currently not on the internet -meaning notification via email is not possible. Is there a non-destructible way to convert the RAID-5 to RAID-6? (I would rather sacrifice 1TB of free space - for peace of mind) - and RAID6 will make troubleshooting a bit easier since 3 drives will have to fail before data-loss.

I woke up to see that the system was down.
When trying to start it, it goes to

What steps can one take to solve the problem?
