I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with fluxbox installed. Occasionally my internet connection will stop working, but when I check on wifi radar, I'm still connected to the network. The router is not plugged into a computer at the moment, just the cable jack. It is likely a hardware problem however, since my other laptops also experience disconnects. Any help beyond "change the cable" would be greatly appreciated. For instance, even though I am connected to the network, I cannot post at the moment due to lack of internet connection.
I have a broadband mobile modem iCon 225 (Option) with SiMobil provider (Slovenia). I run ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). I connect to the internet without problem. After a few minutes, the modem lights start signaling that there is no connection, but the network manager shows connected status. I have to reconnect the network manager to regain connection. After about a dozen times of reconnecting like this, I have to reboot the system, as it won't connect, even if I unplug and replug the modem.
I've noticed these frequent disconnects have started a few days ago. I did experience disconnects in the past, but as nearly often as this. I can't attribute disconnects to activity/inactivity, as they seem to happen no matter what I do.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Ubuntu v10.04 with a wireless card.My desktop is a Dell Optiflex running WinXP.The desktop is connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. Certain folders on the desktop are set for sharing. Up until early last week I was able to access the desktop folders from the laptop with no issues.Suddenly I am now getting this error "Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share" whenever I try to access the desktop folders from the laptop.I suspect an upgrade is the culprit, but not sure.
I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.
When I boot without the AC cable plugged in the Power Applet says I am on AC power (but the notebook is of course running on battery power). Which is bad because I don't know how much battery time still remains. Strangely, when I boot on AC Power and then remove the AC cable both the fact that battery power is used and the remaining battery time is shown correctly. Also when I boot into battery power and then plug in the AC cable it correctly shows that the battery is charging and how long it takes until fully charged. I use Ubuntu 10.10, 32bit on an Acer Aspire One 751 if that helps. The problem has also existed in Ubuntu 10.04 and I hoped the update would solve it but it did not.
after an update i cannot my pc remains in the log on screen. I insert my password then the screen goesn and of and after 4 secondit goes back in the logon screen. I run the following
I installed ubuntu via virtualbox one day for fun, just to test it out. I didn't really need it, so i deleted the partition it was on and resized my hard drive. Thing is, when i startup my computer, ubuntu is still listed as an operating system, but whenever i go to choose it, my computer says "this file is missing or corrupt." I was just wondering if i make it so Ubuntu is not even shown on the screen anymore.
i'm trying to connect to the three other machines in my house but am having quite a hard time doing so. i've never had a problem in the past with ubuntu, but, with 9.1 and windows 7, things have gotten a bit harder. i'm running 9.1 and my roommates are running windows 7. i've installed, set up and configured samba and i can see the computers on my network, but any time i try to access either of the drives, it says unable to mount location: failed to mount windows share.
I reclaimed the hard drive space on my hard drive entirely for Windows 7 with the intention of installing another hard drive solely for Ubuntu. When I reboot my computer it still gives me the option to choose Windows or Ubuntu. I tried Ubuntu just to see what happens and all that came up was some error and an option to type in help for a list of commands. And if it makes a difference I was running Ubuntu 11.04.
This is my first day with Debian, I have used other distros, and am a long time linux user. My HP D 1600 series is recognized, but when I try to print a test msg. it says sent, but the printer remains idle. I have tried everything I know. When I run the trouble shooter I get this. /// /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed////
In the past when having a printer problem I have installed HPLIP-gui and removed the printer then re-installed it. That has not worked and I cannot even remove the printer.
I have a problem with my Debian squeeze system. After I have run some CPU-intensive application for a while the system becomes sluggish. Ok, maybe one would expect that. But. The system remains sluggish even after that process has been killed and then top shows high cpu usage from unrelated processes and a high %sy percentage as well. I don't really know where to begin solving this problem except I've checked that this is specifically related to (at least) CPU use as opposed to heavy memory use or IO (by running an application with low mem/no io but high cpu use). I am running the latest standard kernel from squeeze, 2.6.32-5-686. Also, thing is, I remember having similar problems with other Linux distros before, where for example gzipping a large file would cause the same. I did not have similar problems on {Net,Open}BSD, so a hardware fault seems an unlikely reason to me.
When I boot, apparently any Linux (Ubuntu and CloneZilla), I see the letters Code: ^]]B scroll pass, over and over again. This represents the down key as when I try to do anything the down key is held down. This occurs during boot on Ubuntu (once I get to the login screen it stops and does not happen). This does not happen at the GRUB screen or in Windows. It also occurs during the entire CloneZilla process and Ubuntu alternative install process (making both of these impossible)
I can't find any reason for this to happen and have been using both CloneZilla and Ubuntu for a long time before this happened. Does anyone know what I could try to fix this.
I used this command on Fedora11 for panning on my Acer Aspire One 150 it works but the next time that i restart the OS i have to issue the command again!
No matter what I do, the SWAP usage remains zero all the time. Is there anything I am missing? In the following case (see attached screenshot) I am running make on the kernel that I downloaded. The CPU usage is understandable. But what is the use of Swap when its never used. [URL]. I am on Kubuntu natty. My partitions are as follows:
I connect my laptop to my TV (1280 X 720) and mirror the images, having the same exact display on both the computer and the television. I tried doing this with another laptop (core2duo with nvidia gforce 9600) and the tv will show the desktop (not the full thing) while the computer remains the same. This is not usable. I tried using the nvidia settings application but to no avail.
I'm having a problem with krusader. When I open and close it, it remains with a sleep status. This can be verified by the system monitor and by the "ps aux". The krusader only go away if I use killall. This is occurring in more than one machine. I'm using squeeze gnome 64 bits.
I had Fedora 7 and Windows-XP dual operating system. Few weeks ago, there was GRUB error. Now I want to install Fedora 14, but before it I want to back up all data in one external hard drive. I used Fedora 13 live-CD I could access all the drive formatted as NTFS, but I couldn't access /home and the drive formatted (ext2) and owned by the user-name.
Please, inform if there is any idea to copy my files that remains in the home folder. (I can see them but copying is prevented)
I have two queries,when am using skype e.g and I close it,it remains running in the background however I cant maximise it again.(have to kill it and then start it again).ALT+ TAB brings the other processes but not skype.It's still running and I can see notifications.2.In firefox,when am scrolling down a page,the text gets mingled into each other,i have tried to edit options in firefox (autoscrolling and smooth scrolling) but no positive change.
I have recently set up an ubuntu installation on an old PC. After some fiddling with both it, and the windows 7 machine, I have managed to share all of my drives. However, when attempting to access them from ubuntu, only 2 of the 4 hard disk shares will mount, with the other 2 failing with a Unable to mount location, failed to mount windows share error message.
So I'm pretty awful at keeping Debian up to date, I guess. I'm using cron-apt to fetch updates every night, then apply them whenever I get around to it. Well, I neglected that last part for a month or two, and after some routine downtime to clear the case of dust, I decided it was time to upgrade. So I ran the command, everything checked out fine, and I was on my merry way. Until a half-hour ago when I accidentally shutdown the computer (I use the same zsh prompt on each computer, so I got them confused.) I turned it back on, only to be greeted with a black screen after all the services started up.
Everything works: ircd, MPD, etc. EXCEPT, of course, X. At first I thought the update broke SLIM, but after checking htop and doing a killall slim, it doesn't appear to be running (the screen remains black.) I hit Control-Alt-f2 to get to get back to a terminal, then tried doing startx, which freezes the computer entirely. All the network services stop, I can't SSH in, etc. It's dead. If I'm not mistaken, Xorg.0.log should say something, but I'm not a huge expert on it. The last line isn't an error, I can tell you that. So what's the deal here? apt-get remove xorg and start over?
I recently came to Debian. As I have an ati card, I tried the proprietary drivers first, but then came back to radeon (open-source). In the process, I think I may have broke my xorg.conf . Sometimes, when the monitor goes into sleep mode, when I came back, the screen remains black (sometimes I see just the cursor).
Here is my xorg.conf # NOXORGCONFEXISTED: No X.org configuration file existed when this backup was created.
Also, I have lots of backups in my X11 folder, like xorg.conf.fglrx-3, xorg.conf.original-1, or backup.xorg.conf. Is it safe to remove them? What should I do about the main xorg.conf?
I use my system as my stereo. It's the only thing I listen to. For quite some time now though, I have had a problem with audio not being properly played. What I get is what sounds like reverberation in the audio feed. I found that increasing the amount of time for the feeds to be buffered helps, but only partially.
I also installed another parallel system in this very same computer (on a different disk) which initially didn't have this problem. But then I did an upgrade and the problem became apparent on that system also. However after having done a couple of reboots, I noticed the problem disappeared. Now that system running is running clean as it was initially.
This may be an issue with my nVidia drivers. I'm not sure. Because I noticed problems on the second parallel system after attempting to install the proprietary nVidia graphics driver, which had numerous unpleasant side effects. So I removed it. But the problem didn't go away immediately. Only after I had rebooted a number of times did the sound begin to play as it would normally be expected to.
My primary system, the one from which I am now posting this runs KDE. But on the parallel system, due to a much smaller disk space, I am running XFCE. So this isn't a KDE-only issue.
I installed Debian 8.1 with iceweasel 38.2.1esr-1~deb8u1
Whenever I want to open a youtube fragment I do hear the sound but the screen just remains green. I already googled the issue but found no solution that works.
My CD burner seems to be writing to the disks, it gives me a progress bar, you can hear the disk rapidly spin then slow to about half speed, just like it does in Windows when it works. But it doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit?
This is a CD reader/ writer, but it only reads DVDs, not writes.
I just recently purchased a DELL PowerEdge 2850 and have tried installing CentOS 5.4 on it. After the install completes and it does a first boot I get the following error on the DELL console: PROC 1ERROR, PROC 2ERROR E07F0. The monitor remains black and the system hangs. Just out of curiosity I installed Fedora 11 on it to see if it was a hardware problem. Fedora installed and booted no problem. I rebooted with Fedora installed several times and left it running for 24 hours. Everything is working great. Is there something I am missing in the CentOS 5.4 install?
Below is the Hardware Config: Dell PowerEdge 2850 PERC 4eDi RAID Controller 8GB PC-5300 ECC Memory 2 Intel Xeon CPU Dual Core 2.8GHz 800FSB 4MB Cache - SL8MA ATI Radeon 7000 Video Card
im trying to get a network setup i followed the instruction via gentoo wiki samba what i have done
[Code]...
then i did chmod 777 to the shared folders on both machines went into nautilus it sees the folder but it will not mount the folder showing the error msg:"unable to mount location failed to mount windows share" ive been searching unbuntu forums opensuseforums and google for an answer to this issue but as of right now anything that i have tried to do has failed and nothing seems to be working.
Things beyond my control are causing me to rush a bit in getting the website moved. I'm working hard to try and get it done, but something else has come up that SSL Certificate.I know that our website's "basket" area is protected by an SSL certificate to ensure customer information, especially credit info, is secure. With the move to Amazon's service, it looks like I may need to create our own self-signed SSL certificate to ensure the basket area remains secure.
I have found guides that walk through how to make one yourself and configuring apache to allow it, but something else has come to mind. The guides I found don't really indicate where the SSL certificate goes afterwards, and also doesn't suggest which sections should be governed by the certificate (as only the basket section uses it, not anything else). How would I find out that information?
