I just posted this issue in the server section. I see now that it probably should go here but didn't see a "move" option.
Unless this issue is immediately familiar to someone, my question really is how can I troubleshoot a failed installation attempt?
I built a simple file server. It was running 10.04 with Samba fine for about 6 months. It was a RAID 1 system using LVM and no encryption.
I recently discovered that one of the drives was already failing with a bunch of bad sectors. So, I decided to replace the drives and re-install everything. However, for some reason, it's not finishing the install. It gets to 94% and "Configuring language-pack-en-base" and just hangs. No drive light activity. I've waited hours and it never progresses.
Some details of the server:
Two WD 1.5 TB drives. RAID 1 Adding encryption this time. LVM Partitions: boot, root, swap
I have tried several variations. Putting the boot partition in or out of the LVM. Went back to 10.04. Even tried to re-install on the same old hard drives that I'm replacing. All of these variations result in the exact same issue.
The two differences that I can think of are adding encryption and that the motherboard firmware has been updated since the last install.

I have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?
While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.
i recently got a french msi wind U100x running on linux suse enterprise 10 sp1. (i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?
I had to install the Edubuntu 7.04 on a PC. it is a government property and the owner of the PC claims that it used to be in Macedonian language. I wonder now how can I change the language of the whole OS, I know the support of this OS is already gone off. So there is one other option left, I have to install the whole OS from the beginning, but the real question is that will I be asked to choose the OS language at the Installation Setup. I am using CD for installing not the DVD so I wonder if it contains the language interface packs at all?
for an orphanage in Mongolia I am trying to install Edubuntu, the 10.10 Maverick version. This was succesful, but during installation I could not select Mongolian as the language. The computers at the orphanage do not have internet access.
I could use any tips on how to get Mongolian language installed:
1) on a PC that already has Edubuntu in English installed
I use Ubuntu 10.10, When I click Language Support, then I click install/remove Language, I click Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (traditional). then I click apply changes. But still can not be installed. it seems, the source can not be downloaded.
Trying KDevelop for the first time. I have the free pascal libraries installed, I have KDevelop 3.9.95 installed, I can select java, c+, C#, and so on, but I do not have an option for any pascal.I learned pascal in college, that is why I would like to use it (I know people dont like it, so please refrain from opinions), just looking for help.I tried lazarus, and yes it is nice, reminds me of Delphi, but I take issues with it not finding library paths when they are in the IDE.Would really like to use KDevelop, so if anyone can let me know how to let KDevelop give me options to use the pascal language, that would be great. I have searched through the menus, and cannot find anything that says something like "Insall additional language...".

I'm trying to install debian (testing) on my iMac, it boots fine, the keyboard works fine on the first screen, but when it goes to the language selection screen, i can't do anything. I've tried it on graphic install too, and it don't work. Also, i've tried it with an usb keyboard and mouse.
I have tried to install Fedora, it loads but stops at select language. I tried other Distros and basically the same thing happens, my keyboard and mouse won't work. I'm trying to dual boot with Vista, didn't have this problem while dual booting with Windows 7. My computer is an Acer Aspire M5640, Core 2 Duo E7200, ATI 3450 video card.
In my recently installed openSUSE 11.4 system I am using Kwallet to store all of my private passwords and also those associated with my Kmail accounts. All of these passwords appear correctly in Kwallet, but it seems there is a problem with Kmail accessing them.Whenever I start a new session, Kmail loads first and is followed by Kwallet. When Kmail then tries to do its first mail retrieval it stops and asks for the account password. I type this in and then Kwallet requests its administrator password. Once I type this in, my mail is downloaded and I get no further request for the passwords during that session.
The same thing happens when I attempt to send my first email of the day. I get a Kmail request for the SMTP account password. I've tried changing the Kwallet settings so that it doesn't close when unused for a period,or when the screensaver kicks in, but this (predictably) has no effect. In the Access Control screen, both KDE Wallet Manager and Kontact are shown as 'Always Allow' and I can see no other settings in either Kwallet or Kmail which are relevant to the problem.My guess is that the problem occurs because Kmail starts up ahead of Kwallet and therefore doesn't load the passwords initially. But that may be a red herring as I'm not familiar with the way Kmail and Kwallet interact.
I'm interested in storing my SSH keys and gpg keys on a smartcard for added security. However, I'm a bit uncertain on a few points, which are as follows:
How many keys can I get on a card? I assume both SSH and GPG can store keys on the card. Is there a limit to key size? I see a lot of cards saying they support 2048-bit keys, what about larger sizes? Hardware: can anyone recommend a card/reader combination that works well? I've done a fair amount of research and it seems PC/SC readers can be a bit iffy - is this your experience? Have I missed anything I should be asking? Are there any other hurdles?
I'm aware fsf europe give away cards with membership - I'm not sure I want to join, but... are these cards any good?
i'm using awk inside bash. i've got an array in awk called arrayinawk. everytime i call another awk command in bash i have to keep creating arrayinawk to work with it. is there anyway i can store arrayinawk in bash and just call the stored value next time i use awk?
I'm writing a command-line flash card program in Python. I've tried many existing applications, but none fit my specialized needs.
All of the words I'd like to study are manually added to a text file (study.txt). Each time the software is loaded, it checks for new words in that file and also compares them to a dictionary (a tab-separated file, dictionary.txt), and adds that to a matrix. The flash cards are thus automatically generated from study.txt and dictionary.txt.
Now, the software must manage lots of information about each word I'd like to study and add new information made while interacting with the program (such as when that word should be studied next).
That seems easy to put into a matrix. But what is the best way to put that information in a place where I can pull it back when I run the software tomorrow? Do I need to save the matrix to a CSV file, then convert the CSV file back to a matrix the next time the application is run?
I have a program that sends QByteArray datagrams over a udp socket. I would like to have 4 bytes of the datagram that contain a 32 bit integer. When saving numbers to the QByteArray, I have tried the static function number(int) and member function setNum(int), but they convert the integer to its decimal string representation and save that in the byte array. So if the number were 10, it takes 2 bytes, if it were 10,000,000 it takes 8 bytes. This wastes space, and makes it more difficult to get the number when it is packed with a few other pieces of data in the same datagram. Is there a standard way of doing this in Qt?
I need to review what people are using the printers for at work.I was wondering how I can do this under fedora. I basically need to store a copy of the printed jobs and view them afterwards..
I've been looking for a tweak that would allow me to store temp and log files in ram. I've found a few that involved editing the fstab file, but they were either Ubuntu articles or they were over a year old and perhaps didn't apply to Fedora 14.I hear there is also a 'noatime' command that can help speed up processes by telling the kernel not to saved when files are accessed.And what are the advantages and disadvantages of noatime, and writing log/tmp files to ram?
