Ubuntu Servers :: Cciss Driver Vanished From LTS Netboot?
Jan 26, 2010
I tried to build a HP DL380 today, and the drive wasn't detected. Suspecting hardware issues, I tried it on a 360, same issue. We built these machines before with no problems I used the 8.10 install on our PXE server, and it worked fine. I suspect it's related to the upcoming 8.04.4 release, perhaps a new kernel has been inserted and has missed the cciss driver? Booting using 8.04, and running find /|grep cciss, doesn't find anything. I can't remember the last hp 8.04 build I did, but it was in the last month or so. Doing it with 8.10 finds the driver. (this is the 32 bit install)
We are try to install Fedora 12 or Fedora 13 x86_64 on HP Server Blade ProLiant BL460c G6. And when the installer try to find storage devices - it can not find any hard drivers. We are have message on screen - "Finding storage devices" and the installation process is not continue.... Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 x86_64 are installed very well. The device /dev/cciss/c0d0 is present in system and all it partitions - c0d0p1, c0d0p2 ... Command fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0 has no any output.

I have been trying to install Ubuntu by network booting, I used tftp in Windows in another pc, and the target boots successfully but fails to download from any archive mirror, I'm not sure what goes wrong.
Well, I'm trying to do is, my friend's HP-mini fails to boot to Windows, and BIOS also gives error-messages, the thing is that my friend has important data on his netbook, it has only one drive, no cd-rom, and it doesn't support USB-booting, so I was thinking if I get to access an Ubuntu, I will be able to backup his data and install Windows, I would use anything that would let me copy files.
I have a bootable usb stick with a Linux utility on it. After poking around for a bit I figured out the boot order:
isolinux.bin <--reads isolinux.cfg loads the kernel: SA.1 loads initrd: SA.2
then depending on the options you select it boots one of two .iso files I want this utility to netboot instead of booting with a usb stick; is there a way I can package isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, the kernel and initramfs, iso's and all the other files on the root of the usb stick into one iso that can be tftp'd to the host which would then boot something that would extract the iso to ramdisk and start booting so that isolinux would run as if all the files were locally stored on CD/usb stick?
after the third time downloading the netbook and installing to sd and or usb i decided to check the md5 but where is the md5 the new download pages bites.. wheres all the mirrors/ the new desighn is a good at waisting space //wheres the md5? bring back ftp style downloads?
I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 via a netboot install.When my system reboots I only have the command line - no gui. Could someone kindly inform me what command I need to run in order to get a GUI
I am very interested in using CentOS as a server for diskless PXE booting and was wondering if this was a possibility. I have a working DHCP/TFTP/HTTP system set up and going and I can get my client machine to boot a linux image without any problems. Ideally I would like the diskless machines to be able to immediately load an image through PXE and store their own filesystems on the server through the use of NFS.I heard about system-config-netboot and got very excited because it sounded like something that would help me set up a diskless system. However, after doing some research I have heard from many that it is generally buggy and unlikely to work. When I tried using it I got the error: "The diskless directory must be NFS exported and contain a boot sub-directory"Even though my diskless directory WAS nfs exported and most definitely contained a boot sub-directory. Does anyone have any advice on using this tool, or using CentOS as a server for diskless clients?
I have a problem partitioning an Hard Disk Drive on a server, and I hope someone can help me with this. Here is the system configuration: Operating System Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25 04:43:32 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hardware: RAID bus controller: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array G6 controllers (rev 01)
The system mounts one hard disk (120 Gb) with the OS, and four 1.5Tb Hard Disks mounted on RAID 10 for a total of ~3 Tb I need to create several partitions on this RAID drive, but I have some trouble doing it. I need a total of 10 partitions of different sizes:
I am attempting a netboot installation and I aw following the documentation found here My problem is that given my dhcpd.conf I am met with the errors listed below. I have checked to make sure that none of the conditions that the error warns about possible causes are currently in effect on my system.
I am trying to use netboot functionality available in GRUB(legacy). I just compiled GRUB with --enable-diskless and --enable-rtl8139 options and installed in USB flash drive. I am getting the grub prompt when tried to boot from that USB. But not getting boot command..what i need to do to enable boot command??
When i plugged anything into a USB port (mp3 player, camera hard drive etc..) I had a notification come up asking what program I wanted to open the device with.
I have just booted my Ubuntu Karmic and got to the login part and the top & bottom menus have vanished. Any thought as to how i get them back, short of doing a clean install. I had just installed startupmanager, but dont know if that caused the problem or not.
I have been experimenting with Ubuntu and created a folder a couple of days ago, and messed around with the permissions so that only 2 of us had access to the folder. Must point out that i am a newbie to Linux... so in all likelihood, I screwed it up. Today when i went to search for the folder, it seems to have vanished i tried searching for it, but came up with nothing, i even searched for some of the documents that i have in that folder, and also came up with nothing.
I had just gotten dual boot to work yesterday (had tried both OSs and they both worked). Then I went into Ubuntu to install apps. When I was done, I tried to load windows again and it told me there was a problem that needed to be fixed with the recovery disk. I put it in, it fixed the problem and windows started. Then I did some routine windows updates and now the MBR seems to be gone.I have to restart by holding off for 5 secs. Is there some way to restore the grub from the Ubuntu live installation disk?
My father saved a document in openoffice.org on our Ubuntu computer, but it seems to have vanished. There is no icon in Documents (where he said he saved it) other than a zip file which doesn't have it in it. The only place I can seem to try to open it from is in OpenOffice itself under "Recent Documents", but when i click on it, it says "filename.odt does not exist", and i cannot right-click to open it with another word processor. I don't have backups enabled I noticed in OpenOffice's settings, but surely the document is somewhere! I checked in the trash but it's not in there. It's very important and he spent hours and hours on it, it would be terrible to try to write it again. I am very unfamiliar with the Ubuntu operating system as I myself have Windows 7,
[URL]... Screenshot above kinda explains what's happened, I have no window title bars so cannot move windows, or close them without going down to the bar at the bottom and right clicking which is very very inconvenient. I was playing with options in CompizConfig, which is what I think caused the problem, but I can't find a way to reset it to defaults at all so I'm kinda stuck with it.
For some reason the nvidia-settings configuration utility entry vanished from the menu after an update, the problem happened again after a recovery via a clonezilla hdd image also after an update, has anyone got any idea's as to recover the entry and how to stop this issue arising in the future?
Running solo Ubuntu 9.1 on current AMD-965/MSI_gd70 desktop. Recently I upgraded hardware ( new ram/2nd hdd/temp-probe ) on this kit. All function appeared nominal and all hardware appeared in BIOS. After adding a new line in /etc/fstab to conjure-up my new 650-G sata I rebooted. I can access **nothing** on my system .except FireFox and THAT because I have a FF_icon on my desktop. The system boots, and std Gnome GUI appears, but excepting *LOGIN* none of the tool-bars have any function whatsoever.I cannot reach the command-line.
I turned on my computer today and logged in only to find discover that both toolbars on the top and bottom of my screen have disappeared.This is problematic as it has become impossible for me to connect to the internet without the wireless toolbar at the top of the screen, and as well I no longer have the ability to select different windows without alt+tabbing. I didn't modify my system in any way to the best of my knowledge, nor was I messing around with my desktop config. Luckily I can still access my applications (including the Terminal) by right clicking, but it's still a less than ideal setup.
I tried to find a solution on the forum after my Desktop folders, files, everything vanished. What I've got now is "Standard Icons", Home, Pics, Videos, etc.
I tried to locate files via SEARCH on FILE SYSTEM and I couldn't find any. I tried to reset Nautilus and nothing happens. I have a different profile in this Laptop and that profile is UNCHANGED, but mine is screwed.
I'm getting a bit desperate because I have an exam tomorrow and I NEED to access those files. I Use Ubuntu 9.10, Desktop edition.
IF I TYPE NAUTILUS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE COMES ON TERMINAL
I just found out that my Volume Applet is missing so I cant fade the volume in or out anymore (only with the "FN + Left or Right)and I cant install it anymore.
An elderly friend has a system running Xubuntu 10.04. It was fine the last time she shut down, but when I restarted it yesterday, the panels were missing on her desktop. I'm not very familiar with Xubuntu, but I looked under XFCE System Settings (or something similar) and found a "Panels" option; however, clicking on this does not open the panels dialogue.
There is a second user account on the machine. The panels on that are unaffected and I can open the panels dialogue from the XFCE System Settings.
I'm attempting to install Suse 11.3 on a recently acquired laptop. For some reason, realcrypt no longer appears to be available in any repository. A package search fails. A search on rpm.pbone.net shows a few rpms on a server that no longer exists.This is a crucial application. I have a number of realcrypt encrypted volumes that contain important data. Can someone tell me how I can get this application back, or point to a compatible replacement?
I'm using slackware 12.1 for some time now and this morning (kind of the first day of my winter break) I decided to fix an old USB pen drive to save some docs... (bad idea #1). I had some trouble deleting some files. Slack kept telling me that the files weren't there, so (probably not the smartest decision ever) I decided to "format" the tiny thing. (bad idea #2). Cfdisk wouldn't do it and I ended up on fdisk. (bad idea #3). I thought I was formatting 4 partitions in the same pen drive which now I think might have been my four usb ports. After that, no USB Ports are working at my computer at all. I even boot slackware 13.1 from a dvd and still couldn't get any USB working. Rc.hotplug is nowhere to be found.
At the end of dmesg, I get: usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb 1-7: device descriptor read/64, error -32 usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-7: device not accepting address 4, error -32 ..... usb 1-3: device not accepting address 21, error -32 I didn't mess with this kernel and everything was just great 4 hours ago.
I am using 9.10 and my ability to "ctrl + alt F-dey" to a ttys shell no longer is available after running an update. 10.04 has the same bug. Getty is installed and I can not figure out what happened.
when i first installed 10.04 the colour of the background colour of menu shortcuts was purple. e.g. the highlighted part of the menu you get by right clicking on the desktop was purple. this was with the ambiance theme that is the set default with 10.04.since the last few updates, i realised that this purple colour background has disappeared ! now, the background colour of the highlighted menu is off white which is the default setting of the radiance theme.so what's happening and how do i get the purple colour again ?
I was saving a few pictures, and I realized that none of them were actually being saved. I went to my home folder and I noticed that I only had 0 bytes left, then I deleted everything in my trash, got some space back, then it disappeared.
