Ubuntu :: Net No Longer Connects Within VM (W7 Host) / Troubleshoot This?

Sep 18, 2010

I've been running an Ubuntu VM (10.04 LTS) on my Win7 (Home Premium 64bit) desktop successfully for several months now using VMPlayer (v3.1.1). My problem began when I booted up the VM today - my wife decided to reboot the PC without gracefully closing down my applications when Windows told her that she needed to reboot to complete security updates.

When I booted up the VM, the Ubuntu desktop went right back to the exact same state that it was in before the host reboot - the same programs were open, I didn't need to log in, etc. However... I now have no networking. The network icon (NetworkManager Applet 0. shows the red exclamation point. If I click on Auto eth0, it attempts to connect for a bit, and then says "offline".

My VMware Player settings for this VM are configured for bridged networking, and the "network adapter" icon shows online. If I go into the VMWare Player settings and change the networking to NAT, and then click on Auto eth0 again, the networking comes online. However, I don't want NAT - I want this Ubuntu client exposed to my network with it's own IP address.

At this point, I'm really not sure if the problem is within Ubuntu or within VMWare Player, or something on my Win7 host. I have zero skill at troubleshooting within Ubuntu - still fairly new to the linux scene. My Windows firewall is turned off. DHCP is enabled on my network, and the router is available.

Any ideas on how I might further troubleshoot this problem?

Ubuntu Servers :: Win7 Vnc No Longer Connects To 10.10?

All of a sudden, I could not connect to my ubuntu 10.10 server from Windows 7 using vnc this morning. When I open vnc on windows 7 and hit connect, it goes away like its going to connect but never pops up the screen. If I try to connect to my other ubuntu server, it connects quick and I'm able to navigate in it.

Ubuntu Networking :: 11.04 No Longer Connects With Droid Hotspot

Jun 26, 2011

Sony Vaio X upgraded to 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic i686 which improved some features but which introduced a serious WiFi problem: while other WiFi works well, connecting via my Droid hotpsot fails consistently despite reboots of everything and renaming of SSID. Another laptop running 10.04 still works fine with the Droid hotspot. One hint: upon upgrading, there was the warning that the laptop hardware did not support Unity and I always get the classic Gnome display.The Droid hotspot shows up in the list of SSIDs but attempts to connect always fail, even when it is made totally unsecured.

Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
Qualcom Sony Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem
ifconfig shows no packets with wlan0 or any connectivity.
iwconfig shows correct SSID and other info.

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Into 9.10 / Troubleshoot It?

Apr 8, 2010

I was trying to get rid of some sound issues, in the process I removed Pulseaudio, then I found a post with a couple of packages from a ppa that were made for using Alsa without pulseaudio. I can't find the link now as I'm on a different pc, but 1 package was named Gnome applet, another Gnome media (I think) and I can't recall the third. It really did nothing so I removed them and reinstalled the Pulseaudio packages to atleast get some sound back. I got right back where I started until I rebooted.

Now it gets to the splash screen, flickers a couple times and I get a giant generic login screen If I log into that, I go back to the splash screen and the same login all over again. I tried to repair packages with the recovery mode but it didn't do any good. I also tried renaming xorg.conf just for the hell of it so a new one would be made but that really didn't do anything either.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Troubleshoot Anything Because Nothing Comes Up?

Oct 19, 2010

I have a macbook specs here: I have discs for Ubuntu + Kubuntu, 10.04 and 10.10 for both. When I put these discs in the computer, it reads them and I can boot from them, although when I get to the initial screen where it asks you what to do, like install ect, , , , after I select an option the screen just goes black, I've waited up to 30 minutes but nothing. I can't troubleshoot anything because nothing comes up. I've tried searching online for similar problems to no avail.

Ubuntu :: Very Slow Response - How To Troubleshoot?

Jan 11, 2010

My Kubuntu installation (9.10) boots up normally and seems to run fine, other than it is very slow to respond to inputs or change screens/ applications etc. It can take 5-10 seconds to respond to simple requests like changing from firefox to dolphin by clicking in the taskbar. It is dual boot with XP, which also seems sluggish, but is bearable.

The computer is barely useable in Kubuntu because of the slow response. I had 9.04 installed before, same problem. I tried searching for drivers for the on board video, thinking that might be it, but came up empty.

Ubuntu :: Troubleshoot Corrupt Ext4 Filesystem?

Apr 16, 2010

am having issues with a corrupted ext4 filesystem. My machine has run flawlessly for weeks, then all of a sudden I am getting messages that I can't access various directories, and on reboot fsck dumps to a command line. So far I have been able to fix the problem by manually running fsck. However, this is the second time that I have run into this problem; the previous time I ended up throwing out my hard drive and doing a clean install.I am running a clean install of Karmic Koala, software RAID, 4 Gb RAM, two 500 Gb Western Digital SATA drives, with an Intel E7200 2.53 Ghz dual core processor.Among other applications, I run VMware 7.0 for the occasional task for which I need a Windows program.

Ubuntu :: Troubleshoot No Internet Connection On New Installation

May 21, 2011

I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 3610 notebook. 2 GB RAM. This notebook had Internet access previously via Windows XP (now erased). Here is the partitioned drive. Two ext4 partitions for ubuntu "/" and "/home". Two ntfs partitions possibly for Windows. I have booted up the fresh installation of ubuntu 10.10. I had some glitch where I saw "Operating system not found' on booting from HDD and I wondered if this was due to failing drive.

But I've run a full test using Disk Utility and it shows as healthy. This message has gone away (I don't know why) and I can boot into ubuntu. The problem I'm trying to solve is simply no internet connection. Here are some outputs from commands ..

Fedora :: Cannot Login - How To Troubleshoot

Aug 9, 2009

I recently installed F11 only to find my soundcard wasn't supported (Asus Xonar Essence STX). I read around a bit and saw that kernel 2.6.30 supported it, so I upped the kernel to 2.6.34

So I configured/compiled my kernel, restarted and it showed up fine in the boot loader. Only problem I have is when I go to login through the login prompt, it acts like it is going to login only to get kicked back out to the login prompt again. I tried to login through the terminal view.... everything checks out there.

I am fairly new to linux in general so I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I tried finding an error in it but I couldn't find anything.

Slackware :: KDE Takes Longer And Longer To Load

Sep 19, 2010

I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.

But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?

Ubuntu :: Lucid - Random System Lockups - How To Troubleshoot?

May 14, 2010

Since upgrading to lucid, I have been experiencing regular system lockups. About once a day, my X desktop will disappear and I'll see a TTY with a few old console messages and at that point everything is completely frozen and I must hard reboot.

I have checked out various logs in /var/log and found nothing at all that indicates the system knew anything bad was happening. What is the correct approach to try to narrow this down?

Ubuntu :: Font Changed In Firefox Browser / Troubleshoot It?

Mar 30, 2011

After installing Linux Multimedia Studio the fonts on my firefox4 browser has slightly changed. I remember during the installation that it installed some fonts so maybe it has something to do with that.

The default font settings on my firefox has remained the same but it looks different than before. On certain websites like facebook the main font looks different. I uninstalled LMMS thinking it would bring back the default font settings but it hasnt.

Any ideas how I can bring it back to my default settings on firefox?

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Troubleshoot Cups Segmentation Faults

Apr 5, 2011

I've set up a new virtual server (ubuntu 10.04 LTS on RHEVM, "uname -a Linux print-me 2.6.32-31-server #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 23:33:39 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux") 2 weeks ago just for cups and samba printing (no other filesharing). Ran tests and it looked fine, then last friday I have added 10 Ricoh printers and 3 hp printers. Looked fine, apart from an issue with one "HP Color Laserjet 2600n", but resolved this with the help of the driver found here: [URL].. Since saturday, cups crashes daily in the morning with a segmentation fault (segfault:, eg:

/var/log/kern.log:Apr 3 06:40:39 print-me kernel: [154716.314945] cupsd[20713]: segfault at 7f097c8cd5d0 ip 00007f0ab0f0fb0f sp 00007fff5282dc10 error 4 in libcups.so.2[7f0ab0efb000+47000]

I wanted to trace what happens just before this by changing the LogLevel[URL]..upsd-conf.html) but setting it to anything higher than notice makes cups segfault again, with additional message on CLI:

Ubuntu :: LiveCD Does Not Get Past Initial Screen / Troubleshoot It?

Apr 5, 2011

My laptop recently died and I have invested in a new desktop. The specs are as follows code...

Anyhow, I had been running 10.10 on that laptop. Everything ran swimmingly (until the internal components died of course). I am currently running XP on the desktop and am looking to run 10.10 again as a dual boot. I already partitioned off 200gigs for Ubuntu upon set up of XP. I have tried using the USB LiveCD I used for my first install on the laptop, as well as a LiveCD CD I had created for the laptop. Neither one worked. The LiveCD came up with an error and the USB got to the point where there was the purple screen with white dots and it never got past that point.

I downloaded a brand new 10.10 disc earlier today and I got to the point where the white line blinks on the black screen. Unfortunately that is as far as the boot got. It has some initial writing at the top of the screen saying it was loading a process, and then it produced an error of a int file of some sort. I'll go back and try it again and get a better grasp on the error. Also, after the error message I was given the ability to type commands (it actually told me to type 'help' for a list of the commands available to me), but I had no clue what to do with them.

Ubuntu Networking :: Transfer Files From Cluster To Host And Then Host To Another?

Mar 4, 2010

I am working on a cluster for a molecular dynamics class and I have to edit my FORTRAN code (only the newest and best for me!). In order to get through to the cluster I have to ssh in. The network on which the cluster resides is behind a firewall, so I have to ssh through the firewall into the network first.

this is fine, I can login and move files and folders as needed, including sftp-ing into host 1, then into the cluster so I can transfer files from cluster to host and then host to me. This gets rather tiresome, so it would be nice to edit the files in place.

The problem is that when I access my code with emacs it launches the emacs client on Host 1, with no mouse support. I know the purists will howl about how I should be using keyboard shortcuts, but I am a chemist and not a programmer, so the mouse is very nice for me. Is there any way I can perhaps mount the cluster using sshfs so that when I open my code it launches a local instance of emacs? Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I thought it was network related.
