I ran 'sudo apt-get install python', which completed successfully. According to [url, this should have created the directory /usr/lib/python2.6, but I do not see any such directory.
This is causing problems:
I've tried 'apt-get purge python' and then reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.
I've recently made an NIS installation which worked out fine until I changed some hostname configurations incorrectly and found myself in a big mess. I decided to simply start from scratch seeing as how the entire installation process takes but minutes, however, when trying to run ypinit to run the Makefile I found that /var/lib/ypinit is no longer there. So far I've tried removing the ypserv, ypbind, and yp-tools rpm packages and re-intalling them via yum.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Xubuntu last night on a spare drive because I really wanted to try it out. Install and initial setup (upgrades, extras and so on) worked like a charm, then I got to burn an audio cd with Brasero starting from some mp3s floating around my external media drive. The burn process itself went good and the CD is fully readable, but I notice that CD-text is missing.
So, when I added files to the main window of Brasero id3 tags were there (I've seen them, plus I set each and every of them via Easytag before putting the files in my external media drive so I'm sure of that), but once the CD was finished there was no CD-text at all. Maybe I just have to download some additional packages which aren't included in Brasero or have missed some menu item about CD-text?
System is hanging during boot after a successful fresh install via netinstall disk. Never makes it to any GUI or prompt. However, it does still respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL (not completely frozen).Default debian installation with one exception - KDE checkbox was checked for installation. Everything else was default, with "use full disk with GRUB" option chosen.The boot process appears to hang during the service starts. It appears that the start job for "Create Static De..." is not actually ever completing. I don't know how to troubleshoot that any further than I have.
This is running on hardware, it is not a virtual machine. 480GB SSD, i7, 16GB of RAM, AMD R9 390 (I dunno if this is the problem, but it seems a likely culprit).There are no other disks attached. I have verified successful memtest completions (0 failures) and hard disk is intact and working fine (I have swapped for another disk, and the same thing happens as well).
My skill level with Linux is relatively low. I have proficiency using it and programming for it, but not much in the way of troubleshooting/ installation/ drivers.
Here is an album of "screenshots" (phone photos) of the boot sequence in debug: URL....I tried booting straight to console by removing "quiet" from boot options and changing to "text", but it does not alter the outcome in any discernible way.
I installed Debian Jessie (netinst, daily snapshot) on my Acer Aspire V5-123 laptop in the UEFI mode with the secure boot turned off. everything (network, hardware, partitioning, ...) went smoothly to the last step, but after removing the boot media (USB stick) and rebooting, the firmware could not find the boot device ! The only thing I can think of, is that the EFI boot is not set up properly by Debian installer, but I don't know how to fix it.

Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.

I have a testing server (Centos 5.4) with cpanel installed, once i ran a script which erases log files by using the find and rm command.
Anyway looks like this script deleted one of the modules to python, the logging module. so python stopped working, i thought reinstalling it should solve the problem so i downloaded the tar ball and reinstalled python from source and it's all the same.
Now yum command isn't working because it's giving me this error "no module named logging".
I decided to synchronize the whole python folder /usr/lib/python2.4/ from the live server using rsync and it did not help
I searched for the yum rpm package and i downloaded and installed yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.src.rpm using rpm and it did not help.
Where can I find SRPMs for the latest python-2.4.3-43 and gcc-4.1.2-50 included in CentOS 5.6? They seems to be missing from centos/5.6/os/SRPMS on all mirrors that I checked...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed lucid, Ubuntu 10.04. The first time I screwed it up by removing the CD to early. Do not remove CD until the tray opens by itself or until the system restarted. The second attempt took only 21 minutes. The only input required from me was the time zone, my name and password. After it restarted I had to right click on the network icon and enter the name of my router (Belkin) and the open "edit connections" and enter the network password. All done.
I did have one questionable moment though. When I clicked on "restart" I got a black screen with this message scrolled all the way down the screen...
"(123.2#####) end request: i/o error, dev sr0, sector 46####".
The pc was froze up, or at least stalled at this point. I hit the reset button and all was well. Is a repair recommended or was that just a technicality that really meant nothing? I intend to continue this thread with updates as I reload all my garbage.
After 8 years of using Mac, which I do enjoy, I decided to jump into the open source community. So I bought a brand new Thinkpad SL510 and installed Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bit) using the entire disk, thus erasing Windows.
The installation process was very easy and the system generally works great. It's fast and I love the interface.
Just encountered one annoying issue which I don't think I should be confronted with, using a freshly installed Unix-based OS: a few times, the system entirely froze. I couldn't move the mouse pointer anymore, the keyboard no longer responded (eg. when hitting Shift Lock the light didn't come on). Waited for several minutes but nothing happened at all. So I had to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
This has only happened a few times so far, but a few times too many. When it happened, I only had Firefox open, or Firefox and Twinkle. The last time it happened, the screen colours gradually went gray before everything came to a halt.

AFAIK, python-virtualenv package does not really require any development packages (at least in ubuntu, debian, opensuse). Is it a bug? I didn't find anything with search engines...
Well successful in that it told me so.However, after okaying a restart, and the disc being ejected I am now looking at a frozen screen (there was more than one but they went by so fast I don't know how many) filled with the like of:[ 1095.nnnnnn] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector nnnnnnthe last of the first nnnnnn's is 865443, and of the other 505072, this being consistently repeated 3 times.The machine is an Acer Aspire, supposedly dual boot with Win 7.
View 3 Replies View RelatedStreamtuner2 installed via yum under either F13 or F14 complains that the pyquery python module is missing. My vague understanding is that it is relevant to parsing some xml. Pyquery doesn't seem to be in rpm form in any of the repositories, but can easily be installed from source:
As root:
Code:
yum install mercurial
As a regular user:
Code:
hg clone [URL]
cd pyquery
python setup.py build
As root, in the pyquery directory:
Code:
python setup.py install
Streamtuner2 works without pyquery, but I'm guessing can parse information about more streams with it.

Has anyone successfully installed opensuse (any version) on an xseries 342? (Single 1.13Ghz cpu, 512Mb, 2 x 18.2Gb scsi, Serveraid-4MX raid controller).Any problems? Does it detect the scsi controllers and raid controller? I'm d/ling the serveraid support cd right now. It contains the raid bios and the support files for suse linux enterprise server. Will they work with opensuse? I have opensuse 10.1 on 5 cds. I can't find anywhere to d/l 11.2 in cd isos, only as 1 large dvd iso, which is no good as the 342 only has a cd reader, and it's a pain splitting dvd isos to cd isos.
I'm hoping to turn this old beast into a web server, preferably running LAMP (apache2 etc). I've already got a Poweredge 2550 running Ubuntu 9.4 server, but the IBM is a different kettle of fish, with Ubuntu crashing during install because of their disc naming conventions. I'm hoping opensuse should be ok as the IBM has support for SLED. It's either opensuse or fedora, which I'm not a great fan of.
I just finished upgrading the last of 3 machines from F10 to F12 using preupgrade (all i686). Except for a non-critical hplip issue, all went well with the first two machines upgraded 1 week and 3 days ago, but some python F10->F12 updates were missing on the third machine that I upgraded yesterday, leaving yum inoperable. Thanks to good yum error messages, I was able to resolve the problem (I think), but I thought I should post to check if mine is a unique or common problem, to enquire if it may have resulted from some of the python packages being in "update transit" in the repositories, and/or whether something like this can be avoided in future? Details follow:
Upgrade appeared to go well except for some dejavu font dependency issues (experienced on all three machines) and libcrypto.so.7 missing for eet-1.2.2-4... (third machine). However, there was a boot message that some python module (can't remember which) was not present for some nvidia requirement, although video driver worked fine. When testing yum: First it complained that libpython2.6.so.1.0 was not present. Since that module conflicted (identified by rpm) with various python 2.5.*f10 packages that that were still on board, I copied libpython2.6.so.1.0 (from a current f12 rpm) into /usr/lib manually. Second, yum complained that urlgrabber was not available, so rpm with the latest python-urlgrabber for f12 solved that.
Third, yum complained that pycurl was not available, so rpm with the latest python-pycurl solved that. Yum now works! and boot message is gone! I ran "yum install python-libs" to make sure that any necessary dependencies were met following my manual installation of libpython2.6.so.1.0, which resulted in a bunch of python dependencies being upgraded as a result.
Last night I attempted to upgrade my Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) machine. After reboot (it installed a new kernel), the grub menu only had the memtest. Booted into a livecd and it seems that I was missing most of the files in /etc/grub.d/. Reinstalled grub-common and grub-pc didn't seem to restore the files. I ended up having to download the dpkg, expand it and copy the files manually so I could get the box generate grub.conf and boot up. I think grub may have been broken before the upgrade but exhibited the problem when it upgraded the kernel and reran upgrade-grub but I can't seem to figure out why reinstalling grub doesn't add the files back.
