Ubuntu :: Installing From 11.04 Live Cd - Unable To Stat The Mount Point
Jul 1, 2011
I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a desktop and am trying to install ndiswrapper. I don't have a wired connection to the router, but I have managed to use ndiswrapper successfully on other Linux live distributions which already had them installed (eg, Linux Mint 9). By inserting the Ubuntu 11.04 Live Cd and adding the cdrom in Synaptic's "Settings > Repositories" menu, I can find it in the list of packages, but when I try to install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndiswrapper-common I get a few error messages. First, a notice pops up saying: "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?". I guessed this is due to lack of an internet connection, so I selected "yes" and got an error box that reads:
"E: Internal Error, No file name for ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 W: Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.04_Natty Narwhal_-Release i386 (20110427.1)]/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.56+r2729-1_i386.deb
Unable to stat the mount point /media/Ubuntu4011.0440i386/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)"
This system has two hard drives and a cdrom drive. I've error checked the Live cd, and it came up clean. Please, can someone give me a hand getting Ubuntu to mount the cd? PS: I've downloaded the ndiswrapper files from sourceforge onto a thumbstick (version 1.56). Is there a way I can install them from the stick?

i just installed the new vision of Ubuntu 11.04 , i created 3 partitions 1 for swap, the other one for / and the last one for /home, but by mistake instead of selecting /home i chose /boot, and i want to change it now, i already tried changing my FSTAB and i ended up with a corrupted Desktop when i restarted. i had to change my FSTAB using VI command here you have a copy of my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
[code]....

Also I have all files it asks for installed including dostools..Btw I used usb creator, then went to gparted and did something. The system is fat 32 now but with same message, not including ext4 part. Just the mount point message, and something about dosftools and mtools, wihich also are installed.

After installing from the LXDE live CD I am unable to login. I type in my username, and then my password, and then the prompt goes back to the username (in other words, nothing happens). I can however login via the virtual terminals.
Could this be an issue with the live cd? Or was it just a bad install?

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

I have done a completely fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. As soon as I installed it and checked for updates there were a few, but I got an error for the package linux-libc-dev.
I should make it known that since I got this error about 2 days ago, there have been several more updates issued for other packages, but I still get the same error for this package. Everything else installs fine and currently linux-libc-dev is the only package in my list. When I try to install it via the update manager I get a popup window with the following error message:
Quote:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-libc-dev_2.6.32-22.33_i386.deb: unable to stat `./usr/include/asm-generic/mman.h' (which I was about to install)
To get more information I also ran it from the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

On SUSE 11.2 when a CD or DVD is automounted (in the /media directory) it appears that the mount point chosen for the disk always has extra blanks at the end of the mount.
For example, if the label on the CD was DISK-001, the mount point chosen by SUSE is
/media/DISK-001 /
In 11.1 (and earlier) the mount point would have been
/media/DISK-001/
I'm assuming that the trailing blanks are filling in unused or blank chars at the end of the CD label.
Is there any way to change this annoying behavior? I much prefer NOT to have trailing blanks in the mount point.

I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

Installing from Live USB: Installing from USB on my desktop (used this method for laptop install) goes without a hitch. EXCEPT, I notice there is no support for my wireless card chipset (Atheros 7413, used /bin/lspci to find). I download the drivers for Linux, but I need Make to build the drivers...ok. I download the Make files from my laptop, make coffee, slap the makefiles onto a flash drive and run the configure file on my desktop version of SUSE. Whoops, need a c compiler (odd that openSUSE did not come with gcc? bit confused on that). If you can't tell by now, I've been using linux for less than a month so I am what you would call a noob? After the lack of c compiler, I drove to my office to snag some DVDs to download the DVD iso image, hoping it would have some form of c compiler/make packaged, since the description does say the DVD has more software (can't find any prebuilt versions of either...?)
Installing from DVD: This was my next step. I wrote the iso image to a DVD and proceeded to boot from DVD. The installer fails at the system analysis, saying it cannot "create a repository". writing the iso to a second DVD produces the same result. Googling has not yielded a solution. tl;dr can't use openSUSE on my desktop because my wireless chipset is not suported by SUSE. I need Make to build the drivers, but I need a c compiler to compile Make, and I need the internet to get both for my machine.

I'm trying to configure auditd to monitor "strange" events with apache2 weberver on Wheezy (though same problem occurs on Jessie), tried both with "vanilla" 3.2 and backports 3.16 kernel I am actually using.
Here's auditd rules I have problem with:
Code: Select all-a exit,never -F arch=b64 -S stat -F path=/var/www/server-status -k web
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S stat -F uid=www-data -F success=0 -k web
So to recap, I want to log stat syscall failures for www-data user, but excluding some "known" issues, such as that "/var/www/server-status" (after a2enmod status, /server-status path can be accessed for statistics, though apache2 still tries to find physical file for that path and fails).
But the problem is.. excluding does not work.
Here's "auditctl -l" output:
Code: Select all# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,never arch=3221225534 (0xc000003e) watch=/var/www/server-status key=web syscall=stat
LIST_RULES: exit,always arch=3221225534 (0xc000003e) uid=33 (0x21) success=0 key=web syscall=stat
But when I execute:
Code: Select all# wget -O - http://localhost/server-status
audit.log appears:
Code: Select alltype=SYSCALL msg=audit(1461591557.077:365): arch=c000003e syscall=4 success=no exit=-2 a0=7f1bedab9358 a1=7ffef316ac20 a2=7ffef316ac20 a3=7f1bedab91f8 items=1 ppid=2398 pid=2451 auid=4294967295 uid=33 gid=33 euid=33 suid=33 fsuid=33 egid=33 sgid=33 fsgid=33 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="apache2" exe="/usr/lib/apache2/mpm-prefork/apache2" key="web"
type=CWD msg=audit(1461591557.077:365): cwd="/"
type=PATH msg=audit(1461591557.077:365): item=0 name="/var/www/server-status" nametype=UNKNOWN
type=UNKNOWN[1327] msg=audit(1461591557.077:365): proctitle=2F7573722F7362696E2F61706163686532002D6B007374617274
So, syscall=4 (stat) is still captured. Looks like "path" is known for auditd, but not excluded.
I've tried various rule combinations, for example simpler, more generic one:
Code: Select all-a exit,never -F path=/var/www/server-status
But it's the same.
Sadly man audit.rules and man auditctl does not have "exit,never" examples, only some (sometimes also similarly unsuccessfull) google results.
Could it be that Debian kernel does not support some audit features?

I am dual-bootng Ubuntu 9.10 and Mint 8, both of which use GRUB2. The Mint 8 GRUB sets the initial menu since Mint was loaded after Ubuuntu 9.10. Since both use GRUB2 I was not concerned about this.
Both before the installation of Mint and afterward I see a series of messages fly by on the screen when Ubuntu is booted. These come right after the initial presentation of the Ubuntu logo.
By restarting several times I can read the first several lines. They are:
Mount: Mount Point 0 does not exist
Mount 0 terminated with status 32
Mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted
Further lines follow but I would have to reboot umpteen times to have any chance of copying those.
I have looked in the various Ubuntu GRUB2 files for "Mount Point 0". I do not see any reference to it.
GParted, BKID and etc/fstab all agree on the UUIDs set for my Ubuntu/, Ubuntu Home and Ubuntu swap file.
I see nothing like this when I boot Mint 8.
My questions:
What is the point to error messages (I assume that is what they are) that fly by too quickly to be read? Are they saved to a logfile somewhere?
What is "Mount Point 0"?
What does it mean in this context to say "Filesystem could not be mounted"?
This is all very curious because Ubuntu proceeds to mount and run just fine.
What is Ubuntu trying to do as it starts up that it cannot do?
How do I repair whatever has to be repaired in order to turn off these messages?
I have looked through such GRUB2 dcumentation as I can find without seeing any reference to this.

I have a folder shared over NFS that contains three sub folders:
(Machine A)
/usr/nfsshare/a
/usr/nfsshare/b
/usr/nfsshare/c
I can see these three folders just fine on machine B via nfs.
sudo mount machineA:/usr/nfsshare /mnt/ShareMountOnB
Now I want to mount a second drive in machine A, and mount it as a fourth shared folder:
mkdir /usr/nfsshare/d
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /usr/nfsshare/d
I can see and access all four folders on machine A just fine. I can see all four folders on machine B in /mnt/ShareMountOnB, but when I descend into folder d, it is empty! Bizarrely I can create files in this empty folder d on machine B, but I have no idea where they are being held. They are certainly not in machine A. What I have to do to access the real contents of folder d. I have already changed all permissions and owners to be identical to the other folders.Sharing it over samba to a Windows PC works fine.

I just installed 11.04 beta yesterday and was following along with this article so I could setup a "Storage" partition and always have access to the same files in win 7 or ubuntu. [URL]
The problem happens when you try to install and use ntfs-config and run it. Here is the description from the article:

Now head to the System->Administration menu and pick the NTFS Configuration Tool.
You'll see a few partitions listed, likely as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and the like. If you only want your storage drive, it should be listed as /dev/sda3 or something similar--just not the first or second options. Check the box for "Add," click in the "Mount point" column to give it a name (Storage, perhaps?), and hit "Apply." Check both boxes on the next window to allow read/write access, and hit OK, and you're done. Now the drive with all your stuff is accessible to Windows and Linux at all times.
When I try to run the ntfs-config, I get the following.
However, in the software center there is a note below the ntfs-config download saying:

I've just formatted a new USB drive to ext4. After creating a mountpoint (/media/Vids) and mounting it I changed permissions so my user owned the filesystem. I added the filesystem to /etc/fstab.
However, when unmounting the drive the mountpoint directory disappeared and I have to manually recreate the mountpoint everytime I want to remount the drive. What's going on?

Been trying to find out the mount point for an external usb hub. I can find information with lsusb :
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608
and dmesg:
[0.924293] hub 1-0:1.0: 4 ports detected
But can't seem to find where the hub is mounted. I've tried / dev and /etc/fstab and mtab and /media. BTW what does [0.924293] signify?

Where are the mount points for smb shares connected via "Places -> Connect to Server"? I assumed them in one of the usual places like
/mnt
or
/media
but these folders are both empty. There are a couple of applications which are not capable of accessing my shares because i can't navigate to the right location...

I just removed ubuntu and installed kubuntu, just for something different. i had my home and / folders partitioned separately for ease of upgrade, now during the update process i forgot to make sure the home directory would mount the right partition. for fear of loosing data, so my question is, is there any way of changing the mount point of the drive one the OS is installed.

I have a Pc with 2 hard drive, yesterday I installed ubuntu lucid but I forgot to set a mount point (let's say /datas) during partitioning, and now I have the hard drive icon on my Desktop. I would like to set the mount point during boot, what I can I do? Insert a fstab line? If I do that, the desktop icon si still there, so, what does ubuntu do when I configure a mount point on a secon har drive during installation?!

I have a bad mount point, I had some mounting problems before, and made this wrong entry, when I mount the volume it works but then the system tells me the hard drive is empty, which is wrong and some kind of error.
My problem here is pretty simple, this point is in /media, but it disappears when the volume is unmounted. I want to delete it and re-mount using the storage device manager, which hopefully will solve the problem.
So how can I delete this entry when it disappears? I don't really want to delete it while the volume is attached and mounted.

I'm developing a little script that automatically detects the insertion of a usb device and tries to open the directory of this device in nautilus. I am using Python
So far I was able to sample and compare the changes that occur in the output of 'lsusb' command and get information pertaining to the addition and removal of usb devices.
Now I want to know if we can use that information (or some other info present in the usb sybsyste --/sys/bus/usb folder) to determine exactly where this device has been mounted.
I know you might recommend using 'mount' as a quick way to do the same. I have already done that, but the limitation is that mount only gives u the mountpoint information. How does one (using a program/logic) determine which mount point corresponds to which device.
If I were to plug in two devices together, and both were automatically mounted, how will I be able to tell which mountpoint corresponded to which device? the output of lsusb provides no information whatsoever about where the device is mounted. So its kind of a deadlock
from lsusb ive been able to gather : Device name, serial and bus number and device number
Another thing i've noticed is the 'autoplay'. Whenever I insert a my music player into my computer, it gets mounted automatically and I'm presented with options about simply opening the file or playing it with rhythmbox... now if all that was being done was polling the output of mount, they would not be able to know that the device inserted was a music player (that info u can get from the /sys/bus/usb folder only using the device class and subclass info). So obviously the two are linked somewhere...

I have just updated to karmic, and I found that my external hard disk partitions, previously mounted under /media/disk and /media/fat are now referenced by something looking like a UUID, namely /media/7b096ea4-60ee-46b1-95cd-1851b051c40d and /media/4951-95D9.
Is there a way to revert to the old settings? Any application relying on the files on the external hard disk has now stopped working. While I certainly could just change reference (assuming the UUID does not change every session), I'd rather use the old names if possible.

We have 4 HDs on our server. One of them broke last night. I could see a message on the server and after restarting the S.M.A.R.T. on the BIOS was recognizing one HD as bad. After removing the failing HD, the server is now up and running. I do not remember how I configured the HDs. During the installation I had a few problems and I change a few times what I wanted to do. I am sure I had at least a RAID0 with 2 disks but I could have put all the 4 disk in the RAID having 2 disks as spare drives or I may have created another volume for the other 2....
dmraid return: No raid disks

MountManager seems to report that sda and sdb belong to linux_raid_member.
However there is no mount point.
Questions:
1-How do I find how the disk were and are configured?
2-How can I find what was on the disk that died? (Was it a spare drive or one of the 2 in mirror)?
3-What do I need to do now to be sure that the mirroring is working OK? (considering that there is a spare drive). Do I need to use a command to let ubuntu mirror the drive on the new one?
4-What do I need to do when I get a replacement of the broken disk?
5-What is an utility that can show me easily how the disks are configured and eventually makes a change.

I have made a clean install number of times. At the point where you (I always do this) manually select the partition where you want Ubuntu to be installed there is a option where you want the Mount Point. The options are / /boot /home /tmp /usr etc. up to now I have always used / but I'm not sure effect choosing some of the options would be.

i am trying to install new packages on ubuntu 10.04. the new packages are all on DVD's. I have loaded the DVD's as software repositories
Code:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)]/ lucid main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
[code]....
i do so, then i get an error message from ubuntu saying that it failed to fetch several packages from the disc listed above.
when i check the mount point of the /cdrom/ it has now been changed to media/apt/ so i'm guessing synaptic is looking for media/cdrom/ but cannot find it. how do i get it to stop changing the name of the mount point and why is it doing this? could it have something to do with my modem? as i have noticed that for the first time since i have been using ubuntu (since ver 7.10, 8.04, 9.04) ubuntu 10.04 is listing my modem huawei e220 (usb hsdpa modem) as a disc drive.

I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 beta and partitioning into 3 parts. One for root, one for home, and one for swap.In the partitioning utility you can go into during installation (at the beginning of installation actually) there is a drop down box for selecting the mount point of the partition. I'm good on the first two but am not sure what to select for swap. I'm searching on the Internet too but am not seeing what I need right off.
