Ubuntu Servers :: Network Name No Longer Available
Mar 1, 2010
I now have the server at the school up and running. Myself as well as one other teacher have no problem finding the server, connecting to it, and even transferring data to and from. I however have one other teacher that get an error when trying to connect. Says that the server name is no longer available.
I'm trying to set up a private irc server. I install ircd-ircu, modify the configuration file, restart the daemon, and everything works great. After the next server reboot, the server shows the daemon is running, but I can no longer connect to the server from my irc client. I've tried restarting the daemon with no luck. I can then uninstall and reinstall it with the same outcome. Everything works initially, but after rebooting, the irc client can't connect..
I know it's kind of my fault but I have this problem. I have two machines running Intrepid. I should have upgraded them in due time but what's done is done. Now I need to install some packages there but the Intrepid is no longer supported - Intrepid repositories are no longer available.
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.
2011-04-11 11:57:03 UTC I don't know what happening with my centralized log-server running octopussy. Currently it is working in a vmware setup with approx 980 Mb ram and is set in bridge mode. Currently is it set to receive logs from logs devices which are 4 in number one of which includes the core isg-1000 device. This setup is still in its test form....now what happens after some time (sometimes it taken days and sometimes just hours) when the connection (https) is suddenly lost to the apache and i can no longer access the interface. What happens more strangely my Ethernet interface gets shutdown on ubuntu. I have to restart the services by issuing /etc/init.d/networking restart.
Even at times it itself start receiving network packets on its own; without even restarting; i don't what the hell is wrong with the server. I cannot understand its erratic behavior. I need a sound and reliable Ethernet connectivity at all times because coz of loss of connectivity in my case would mean loss of logging functionality. I dnt want any time-gap in logging ...as im currently logging some highly critical devices on this server.
I can no longer connect to my network.Every ip on the 192.168.1.X range is for some reason pointing back to localhost.The machine is dual boot, I have no such issues with windows, it's just my ubuntu (lucid).
I am experiencing a bunch of problems on my Ubuntu 10.10. I will start off saying that I am a new user to the Ubuntu and Linux. I've been a user for 5 days. Anyways, I started off with Ubuntu 10.4. When using that, I could instantly connect to my wireless router and my school's wireless network. But after I upgraded to 10.10, I could no longer connect to a wireless network. Second problem is my webcam. The video works, but it won't recognise my microphone.
I am running a Fedora 3 that I had installed from a slightly outdated disk. and I have been making updates by using YUM. But I have a policy of only updating just what is needed and leaving the rest alone. This was fine until some time (I think is was) last year, when our friends at fedora had discontinued support for Fedora 3 and then unwisely deleted all the packages for fedora 3 and fedora 4 off there server. Now it has been a struggle just administer updates when application that I am adding become unhappy with the version that come off of the disk, and I end up with versions that are more current then I wanted. All I wanted is to have access to the packages that were left when the music stopped.
Hear is my current pediment. I now need to run PHP (something I never used until now) and version that came with the disk (ver 4.3.9) is too low for the scripts that I will be running. They need PHP 5. Now I know that were up to something like PHP 5.3.x. But I don't really need that. I am shore there is a version of PHP 5, like versions 5.1, that was available though YUM. If they only just left it there. At least Microsoft leaves all of there window 98 updates on there server for people to use, even though they don't support windows 98 any more.
The biggest reason I want to use YUM or even up2date for my installs and updates, is they minimized the risk of screwing something up.
Here is my question. Dos, anyone know where there is a mirror of fedora 3 updates that fedora used to have on there site?
I am hopping to be able to adjust the baseurl= line in the fedora.repo file to point it to this new mirror and make YUM work like NEW.
I have an Ubuntu 10.04.1 AMD64 server running Apache with SSL. In the past, even though I have a passphrase on my key file, I have only needed it if I manually restarted Apache2, never after reboot.
I recently switched from a self-signed cert to one from a CA. I'm not sure if this is what caused it, I also installed a few packages (AWStats, PHPSysInfo and Munin) that all interact with the webserver.
Anyway, I just noticed that now after a reboot Apache starts but doesn't work. I need to kill that process and start a new one with the passphrase (maybe on the console it is prompting me, I mainly use SSH access since the server is headless).
Why did Ubuntu used to 'remember' the passphrase on the self-signed cert but now I need to provide it?
My sever auto-updates so it would be annoying to have this thing go down regularly after a patch that requires a reboot.
I'm running a cron job every night to dump a MySQL database to an external hard drive. It works, however when I check on it the following morning the external is no longer mounted and the XFS log file is corrupted. If I run
Code: xfs_repair -L /dev/sdf1 It works, but then I get these issues: Code: XFS: Filesystem sdf1 has duplicate UUID - can't mount I can reset the UUID, but it's difficult to have to do this every day.
I am suddenly not prompted for my password when I run any command as sudo on a few of my Ubuntu servers.
if I run sudo -K, the session is cleared, and I am prompted again for my password, however it saves/caches it until I run sudo -k again even if I log out and back in. I want it to prompt me for my password, as it should (and did) by default, for security.
I have a Realtek gigabit onboard ethernet (RTL-8110SC/8169SC)It was working in 9.10.After upgrading to 10.04, the connection dropped to 10MB. Now, lspci -v shows the card, but Ubuntu no longer recognizes eth0!I have no connection on the machine. I've been digging around the forums, but can't seem to find what I need.
When I had 11.0, I could ssh to my router without problems. When I switched to 11.2, I no longer could (three machines, one new, two upgraded). I have also tried from a VM 11.1. Putty in another VM also fails.
It still works fine if I boot into "good old" Windows. I must say I am SOOO disapointed with the Network Manager in Ubuntu which was great until 10.4 and has been crap ever since. I have had so many problems with my Vodafone USB and had to find an alternative method of getting it to work. Now the last straw is that my wireless LAN card is not getting recognised on startup so I have not connectivity when at home. (USb via Vodafone is no good in my area). I am typing this via an old Windows PC because my Ubuntu just does not work anymore. I have not installed anything new so what has happened - or how can I get it to work again. I was completely sold on Ubuntu but am now considering reverting to Windows. It would be worth paying for an operating system that actually works, even if I have all the other hassles as well. A year ago Ubuntu was great - it all worked ! Not any more how can all that good work have gone down the pan - I can't understand how anyone could let all these nertwork problems occur - it isn't just me - read the threads - it's widespread.
I just loaded 10.10 on an Acer Aspire One D255. When I installed Ubuntu, network manager loaded and I was able to use both the wired and wireless cards. After I used update manager, the kernel was upgraded, and I also added some wireless applications (RutilT WLAN Manager, SWScanner, and WiFi Radar). Upon reboot, the network manager doesn't work, and it cannot find any of the devices.
My network monitor seems to have disappeared from the taskbar.I tried right clicking and "Add Pannel" however I do not see "Network Monitor" in the list.I tried running Code:nm-applet --sm-disableBut this gave me the errorI figure this because it's already running so I tried to killall and try it againThis time I getCode:** Message: applet now removed from the notification area** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area** (nm-apoplet:4498): old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0I see a 1-2 pixel sliver of something appear briefly in my taskbar and then it disappears, I assume this was the n ntly installed tshark (curses-based version of wireshark)
I'm starting to think that samba is comprised of buggy applications and i'm basically hitting my head against a brick wall for the fun of it. Can anybody vouch for its reliability under fedora 13?
I have an Intel Mac that I recently added openSUSE 11.3 to to have a dual-boot system. This has been working fine for me for the last 5-6 months. Then on 1/18/2011 I shutdown my system and totally disconnected everything and moved it all out of my office, so new carpeting could be installed. After it was installed, I reconnected everything and confirmed that everything on my Mac side works just fine. Then I rebooted into Linux and everything worked until I tried to run Firefox to connect to the internet. I'm told every time that it could not connect to the server for whatever I tried to connect to. I AM NEW TO LINUX AND ANY KIND OF NETWORK/INTERNET PROBLEMS, SINCE I'M USED TO MAC WHERE EVERYTHING JUST WORKS. But, I did click on "computer" in the lower left-hand side of the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. This shows on the right-hand side under STATUS "Network: none" and then it states to click this to get it started or connected (I don't remember which) so I click it. This brought up a window asking me for my password and then a new window where it went through a checklist of things and presented me my network settings, which means nothing to me. However, after this I tried Firefox again with not luck.
I am also using gnome-NetworkManager. If I left-click on the NetworkManager icon down on the taskbar near the clock it shows "Wired Networks" with eth0 connected, and "Wireless Networks" is blank under the heading, last week I believe it said something like "device unavailable" or something like that.
Network Details: iwconfig Code: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. [Code]....
I was curious about when the last time I was able to successfully use my wifi so I checked to see in NetworkManger and it just so happend to be that I was on a business trip in Atlanta on a different network then am usually connected to. Don't know if that has to do with anything but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Also, I thought it may have something to do with assigning an IP address static-or-auto but I am not too familiar with NetworkManager to check that.
I don't know what I did but I can't connect to the network any longer. KNetworkManager finds it but I can't connect. It stops at waiting for authorization. I've been connected before and it still works in xubuntu but something happened here. Here is what /var/log/messages/ says
Code:

I have Dell DV6 Pavilion 2115 eg laptop and i installed Ubuntu 11.4 and internet and wireless worked, until i reboted my system it has disapear. I cant no longer to connect to a wireless network. It dont shows me any wireless network.My wireless card is Atheros AR 9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter.
When i first install ubuntu 10.10 the other day my entire windows shared network was visible and accessible through places/network ect.i only had an issue creating a link.Now , for some reason i can no longer see the other windows comp or any of its folders but i can see my sons laptop ( running vista) . obviously i still have access to the network and i have checked the sharing settings on the windows machine.
for some reason, ubuntu cant see it anymore. so how to fix? windows still prints to this printer on the network. I deleted the printer in ubuntu and tried to redetect and now it says no printer at that address.
before I deleted it, I recall it saying something about the backend had failed?
New fun from M$, we have started to test Win-7 on a few machines, and while it worked flawlessly in XP, Vista and Win-7 beta, logging on to the share (AD) from a Win-7 RC doesn't work.
i started to look into upgrading my LTS ubuntu server instances to Lucid. one the notable things that i have discovered is the lack of support for Webmin; it seems that Debian is no longer supporting packages required by Webmin. But it also appears that ubuntu team believes that Webmin may actually cause problems as it works in a different way than that presumed by Ubuntu. so i am now left with no way to manage my 10+ instances of ubuntu server that i used for studying and research. it seems that i am left with cluster-ssh as an alternative. but are there other alternatives, ideally similar to webmin?
There is something strange going on with Pidgin in Debian 6. I have just installed the system, then Pidgin, then configured my MSN accounts and chatted; but after rebooting, it no longer works. It just hangs while trying to connect - this is what I see from strace:
[Code].....
- a largish number of times. My very rough and ready thoughts about this so far are that it is probably not Pidgin that has an error, since 1) It worked initially, and 2) I am pretty sure the developers would have know about it very quickly if this was a general problem in Pidgin. On the other hand, my networking seems otherwise to be fine - s what is going on here?
I have a samba server on my LAN. It can be accessed without any problems from Windows machines on the LAN without password. I have two computers that I have updated to OpenSuse 11.2 (both used to run 10.3). Since doing this upgrade I can no longer access the samba share from the Suse machines. Basically, both Dolphin and Konqueror ask for a username and password to access "avoca" (the workgroup).
Running openSuse 11.2-64 on a DualCore / 2Gb machine.I have 3 nfs shares described in my /etc/fstabAll three were mounted at boot time when I was connecting to the network through the wired interface (eth0).I need to use the wireless interface, and even if that interface is up and running well (I use ifup), the nfs client doesn't start... if just after boot I do a mount -a or simply a nfs start, everything comes up and runs well.This machine will not be used by myself, and the users cannot just jump into a command line and type nfs start or even mount -a (they would need su privileges...)I have disabled the eth0, killed the eth0 config (with yast) edited /etc/sysconfig/nfs and setted the NFS_START_SERVICE to yes to force the gssd and idmapd to always start even if there was no nfs entry in fstab, but nothing changed.
I reinstalled OpenSuSE because my hard drive filled up and i couldn't find what was taking up 30 GB of disk space. My SMTP and IMAP were working fine. Now, I can't telnet into smtp remotely and they no longer respond to my mail program.One last detail, I can send out mail to example, gmail.I can receive the mail at gmail but i can't send mail back because the imap and pop3 don't work.
I am using Network Manager to connect to a VPN server so that I can access some of the computers on the local network there. When I'm connected, I have two problems: All my internet traffic goes through the VPN. My computer is no longer visible on my local network. I waste a lot of time connecting and disconnecting the VPN. Is there any way I can set up a VPN so that I am still on my local network and only requests to 172.x.x.x go through the VPN. I suspect it can be done with iptables, but all the info about iptables goes WAY over my head.
