View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my system's motherboard with an Asus M4N78 Pro and did a clean install of 9.10. The install seems to go fine but when it finishes and does the final restart I seems to get stuck at the place you'd normally see the GRUB menu. Instead all I see is a black screen with a flashing cursor in the left corner. This isn't just a long boot, its stuck. It never progresses past this point.
During the install everything seems fine. Video, network etc. I've tried several reburned CDs and I get the same result each time. For the record I've installed Ubuntu as a single partition an IDE drive. The bios is set to boot from that drive. ow the heck can I figure out what is happening? Is there a way to boot and display any and all messages displayed? Is this thing hanging in GRUB somewhere?
Completely new Gateway dx4850-45, installed 11.04 64 bit.
Symptoms:
- Both restart and shutdown hangs, have to hold the power button to kill it.
- Once the screen saver kicks in it hangs,

I have a Dell desk top PC, running WinXP and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with a Ge-Force FX 5200 video card. In trying to get both monitors to work properly I thought it would help to reinstall Nvidia binary X.Org driver V173. After I removed the driver I tried to restart the computer with Umbuntu, it hangs up at the Ubuntu logo. I can boot with the live disk, I also tried to reinstall the Nvidia driver But the machine still will not boot from the hard drive, it will boot into Win XP normally.hould I just reinstall Ubuntu or fix the problem I created? My skills working in Terminal are minimal

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using ubuntu for a couple of years rather successfully on my dual-boot Vista/Ubuntu. It upgraded to 8.0(4?) LTS, 10.04LTS and I kept it there until this afternoon I followed the instructions on the ubuntu site to open up a terminal and update-manager --somearg to provide me with a nice little "Upgrade" button on the update manager. I clicked said button per the instructions, let it do it's downloading and whatever else it does. The last step of the installation is a system reboot. I let it do that, and then my grub menu comes up as more-or-less this:
Code:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-32-generic
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-32-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.24-28-generic
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.24-28-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, memtest86+
Other operating systems:
Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
If I select the top one, I get:
Code:
Starting up ...
with a blinking cursor under the S for a LONG time (used the power switch after ~40 mins). I tried the second 2.6.32-32 option for recovery mode. It spit a bunch of gibberish to the screen for a couple seconds and then stopped, presumably doing the same thing, just with 100% more gibberish. I tried booting into Vista, that worked fine. Just to reiterate, I've not yet seen a 10 LTS login screen or desktop, and can't get one yet (just a "Starting up ...") Just to add, I did try searching, but since the only info I had to go on was 8 LTS to 10 LTS upgrade, and "Starting up ...", well those are just hard keywords to get any meaningful info.
I have a SMB share being mounted during boot using a /etc/fstab entry.All that seems to work fine, but on shutdown or reboot I found that the system hangs for a variable period trying to unmount the share. It appears from the log that the unmount is happening after the network connections are closed.Is there someway around this, or is there some other way I should be mounting the share so that it is closes successfully at restart or shutdown?

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?

my system proposed an upgrade to 10.04. this morning it seemed to complete, restarted itself. it gets to the UBUNTU logo, shows "Starting Up" and then.... nothing. it just hangs with a blank screen. when I've faced a crapped out upgrade before on another machine I had to reinstall from an old 9.04 CD and then upgrade again.
when I start that process at the Partitioner it is showing me that "Ununtu 10.04 is installed" and asks if I want to replace it with 9.04 I would like to avoid the downtime of that reinstall and reupgrade process. is there anything I can do at this point to revitalize my 10.04? (and in general, is this a fairly common problem? crapped out upgrades? in my 2-years of using Ubuntu this is the 2nd time I've faced a failed upgrade.)
I've started facing the weirdest problem. I have to restart the ethernet interface a couple of times a day and everytime i do that the server locks up completely and i have to hard reboot it.info: recently shifted to a new server, all new components and new installation, OS version CentOS 5.6

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Server 10.10 64-bit. After installation, I set up my config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf), and tried to restart Samba:
Code:
/etc/init.d/samba restart
There was nothing to restart though - the file /etc/init.d/samba wasn't there!
Purged the package and re-installed. Tried reformatting and adding Samba as a pre-installed package. Trying to find the server guide for 10.10, but no dice. Did something change for Samba in 10.10?
When ever I restart ssh

That is a headless server. What does the above line signify or tell and why am I seeing that? Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server edition
I am running a headless home file server with ssh, samba, webmin and webgui for Transmission. It was all working fine on my lan until I tried to set ssh to listen on a different port (I read it was safer to do so if you wanted access from the internet). Now I cannot ssh into my server and as far I can tell using webmin the ssh process is no longer running and I cannot restart it. I have restored my unmodified sshd_config file. After restoring my original config file and rebooting I am back and working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've decided to toy around with LVM and mdadm this weekend. I can get everything working, and all is well, until I restart. After that, I no longer have any /dev/md0 device, which during the auto mount process, causes an error. I've looked through several HOWTOs, as well as the LVM/mdadm man pages, and I believe I've tracked it down to mdadm's "assemble" that is needed (so that LVM can see the md0 device).
Not exactly sure how to go about having this occur during the boot process to ensure that the LVM mapped drive is available for when fstab is read. In case it helps this is a base install of 10.10 server 64. I have four drives, the first is used for the OS and is not in the RAID array (nor LVM). The second and third are RAID1 (/dev/md0) and there is a volume group associated with /dev/md0. The last is a LVM, but not RAID, and it has its own volume group.
I've installed Ubuntu server and got everything setup pretty well.My problem is apache.I put my website in /var/www and changed the security on the files to allow them to be executed by other, which is what I finally discovered was my first problem (access denied). But now whenever.I go in and edit my page, the changes aren't reflected on the site unless I completely restart apache.I know I'm doing something wrong because I used to pay for a host and every time I edited a page, it was instantly updated on the site. Could one of you gurus tell me where I screwed up?

ln -s /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid /var/run/dhcpd.pid
dhcpd3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf eth1
When I do the above DHCP will start (in theory, at least no erros are thrown). But if I ask DHCP to restart, it will stop, but not restart. And the error is "No subnet declaration for eth1 (192.168.3.2)"

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu server hangs when I boot with a wired Ethernet connection. The last thing I see in the console is code...
I have no problem when I boot to a Wifi connection even when Samba and openssh-server are installed. I see the same sequence of lines in the console as I reported initially (including Reloading, Restarting), but then the output continues with
* Starting the Winbind daemon winbind
Both the wired and wireless connections use dhcp. Obviously, I installed the OS using a wired connection, so it worked reliably once. I'm stuck.
P.S. I tried dhclient -r before rebooting. The machine did not shut down correctly and when I forced a reboot it appeared to hang at the usual place. However, after a long delay it proceeded to boot. Perhaps I am observing a delay due to a very long timeout. I will try another reboot now and check again in the morning.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 as a web/ftp/etc server. I like to work on stuff from remote locations and have set it up to be accessed it with the external IP address by my laptop.The problem is that if I'm at a remote location and tell it to restart, when it boots up it won't log me on unless I enter the password, but I can't remote access it until I'm logged in.So, is there a command or script that I can run that will tell it to restart and bypass entering a login password?I'm only looking for something to bypass it ONCE per command/script, NOT to disable my password.

When using the movement keys (arrows and numpad) I get "[" brackets and "C"s, if I hold down or push down on the key hard a list of errors and text comes up, usually involving something that says something like:"Mount disabled" or "____ disabled press CONTROL-X to restart the shell"Similair problems are also found in vi (when in insert mode).I have been plagued with text editor problems and have need several reboots just to get out of a file, often because it just flat out stopped responding to keyboard commands.
bit of a server noob having built a server to hold a php website for a client hosting at home, I have some experience, but VERY limited and don't speak fluent server.My problem is that overnight each day apache on my clients server stops responding. I can still access via putty / webmin.The best I can see it, it seems that apache 2 opens too many child processes and chokes the system. My reasoning for this is:-Though I have max child set to 20 with a keep alive of 30 there are dozens of child processes 'apache2 -k start' running, some of which were started 9.5 hours ago.
-I can stop apache, though that doesn't kill these child processes. I can terminate the parent process which does kill the child processes, however restarting apache after killing the child processes results in a system crash. Rebooting the server remotely after apache has stopped responding also results in a server crash. That is NO response on any port.I would be happy to display any pertinent server config/logs etc if anyone can help me troubleshoot this?
I just rented a godaddy dedicated, the ubuntu variety comes loaded with 8.04...(& I need PHP 5.3)Followed the directions here: URL...I did have to change my sources.list, everything after that went as expected (not like i'd know what to expect)At one point it asked if I wanted to update my grub/menu.lst to the release version, or use my old one, I updated it.Once the upgrade completed, I checked the menu.lst again to ensure it was gonna boot 10.04 (as warned by the guide)However once I sent reboot, I couldn't SSH back in, I waited 5m, 15m, tried again, still couldn't SSH then I had the server power cycled via my godaddy control panel, and still nothing, attempts on port 22 timed out & other ports were refused.
I think I overlooked something because, from what I've read here and there this is technically possible, I also just found this guide here:URL...The first user comment (above link/guide) seems to have a tip for what I'm trying.Anyways had the server re-provisioned via my control panel & I'm about to try again, only this time. uh, check the SSH settings post upgrade/pre restart?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have observed a problem twice now with Apache trying to restart but hanging somewhere in the process. This happens after a power failure; the machine comes back just fine, but not the web server. The machine is on a UPS, but occasionally it runs out of "juice" before someone can get to it (we have a generator for emergencies). When this happens, a ps indicates about three processes running that are trying to start Apache, but they just sit there - this time for three days since the power failure was on a Friday. I can fix this by killing those processes and doing an Apache restart - but that takes human intervention, which is not acceptable.
I suspect this may have to do with SSL, since when I do a manual restart it asks me for the SSL password. There must be some way around this so the system can recover on its own. This system's web site runs under SSL since it maintains medical information that must by law be protected. But it also could be life-threatening to someone if the system can't come back and as a result a person can't get help.
So I would appreciate some guidance as to what I could change that would allow for system recovery without intervention. I'm happy to provide any configuration file info, if you tell me where to look.
