Ubuntu Servers :: Disabled Press CONTROL-X To Restart Shell
Apr 30, 2010
I'm setting up an Ubuntu server and I keep getting strange problems with my editor.I'm not sure if this is because my keyboard configuration is wrong or I screwed up the installation but regardless it's quite frustrating.
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.
I have requirement to delete some log files from a directory if a string"deletethisfile" is found.Then restart the application servers.1. Search for the string ?deletethisfile? in server.log file under a directory, If found 2. Stop that particular server.3. Delete the log file 4. Restart the server.
MACHINE: HP Proliant DL260G5OS: SLES 11 SP1kernel: Linux xserver 2.6.32.12-0.7-default #1 SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxIt is used as remote xserver in a LAN.I have configured /usr/lib/restricted/bin/.rbashrc with some environment variables but when the users logon in the system finally is executed $HOME/.bashrc and some environment vars are overwritten.
The system worked fine for me until one fine day, when I boot up I get this message: BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart
I checked the BIOS to make sure it ran the correct drive first but no go. I tried reinstall ubuntu but it doesnt seem to work. I dont have windows running on this machine.
I installed 10.04, and now i cant get back to windows. I have Ubuntu on one hard drive and windows on the other one. When i try to boot up, unless i go to the boot menu and select the hard drive with Ubuntu on it i get the message boot-mgr is missing, press Ctr - Alt - Del to restart.
I installed ubuntu today by installing Wubi and after downloading i rebooted computer and selected ubuntu but i got an error saying 'Try (hd0,0): FAT16: NO WUBILDR' and there was few more but i forgot and at the end it says 'Cannot find GRLDR in all device Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart'. it used to work when i had vista...
I have never in a year had a problem with this d-boot system. Two days ago I tried to boot into ubuntu like every day. It started to load normal, went to the ubuntu logo and paused for about 15 seconds and posted this under the logo:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted /: waiting for /dev/loop0 /tmp: waiting for (null) /boot: waiting for /host/ubuntu/disks/boot Press ESC to enter a recovery shell
I have looked everywhere and tried so many things, I can't look any further. All I have been doing for two days is trying to boot this system.
I've recently installed a second monitor and it's great having all that extra space.
However, Ubuntu 'loses' the new monitor after a restart and I have to go into System>Preferences>Display and get the second monitor re-enabled and put to the left of my existing monitor. Quick flicker and the second monitor is on.
I don't really want to have to do this every day so am I missing something so my second monitor is remembered?
I had this issue in 9.04, resolved it in 9.10 (it went away on its own), but it's back in 10.04..I currently run my Ubuntu machine as a headless server and connect to it using TightVNC from a Windows computer.However, this connection won't work unless I start the Ubuntu machine with a monitor connected. Once that's done, the remote connection works fine until the Ubuntu machine has to be restarted. Thankfully Linux doesn't need restarting as much as Windows does, but unfortunately, every time I restart (i.e. with a kernel update, which happened at least a half-dozen times with 9.10), I have to plug the monitor in or TightVNC won't be able to connect.
System - Control Centre - Remote Desktop is set to allow remote connections as it should, I haven't altered this on upgrade.It's like it's some sort of graphics issue - if no monitor is detected on startup, disable the GUI completely...the system runs fine in remote terminal mode over putty, it's serving files fine and running the few server apps I have on it, but nothing over TightVNC.
I am an absolutely beginner with Linux (ubuntu). I got fed up with widows and decided it was time to go. I installed (clean install from a cd) ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop. It is an hp compaq d220 MT.It looks good and feels good, well at least for a while since it keeps crashing. The screen starts to flicker, goes black, and the only way to get it up and running again is to press the on/off button until the system powers off and restart.
I don't know what kind of problem it is. seems strange. I was used to using windows xp previously. Recently, i installed Ubuntu 11.04. i used ubuntu more than windows- rarely i peeped into windows. BUT, 3/4 days ago, when i tried to run xp, it only shows a message(on a black window/screen):
"NTLDR MISSING PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL TO RESTART"
If i press ctrl+alt+del, it only restarts and if i again try to run xp, it shows the above message again; BUT windows xp doesn't run. i don't know what to do.
Though I kinda do wish that I could just fully migrate to Fedora (or Linux in general), I still do need Vista for some things (like, until I can get this mess with my tablet and speakers sorted out). However, when I tried to boot into Vista this morning (by selecting "other" in GRUB) it said "BTMNGR is missing. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart."
Will I have to use the Vista Home Premium installation disc to fix this? Surely, telling it to automatically fix startup problems would work, right? I'll try later today PS This problem could also be related to my other 'yum update' problems. All of my problems started when I performed a whole kernel update, so that could also be why I can't boot into vista.
I'm randomly getting 'Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery...' or something like that at boot ((it flashes very quickly)- If I don't press anything, I'm prompted for my password (I configured it to login with password) and the desktop loads...
I'm using Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 -> Ultimate Edition Home
I was using my 1TB hdd to dual-boot linux, windows, and for storage...Yesterday, I imaged the linux partition, and restored it to an approximately 66GB partition I created on a 150GB hdd...Besides the 66GB partition, the rest of the 150GB hdd is 'unallocated space'... That's when the above message started...Below are screenshots of the fstab and partitions as they are now...
I don't shutdown my OS really often and sometimes the driver of my soundcard seems to crash so I need to restart it. I use the command "rcalsasound restart" which works well or "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" but I lose the volume control during the operation. Moreover, I have a dell laptop with sound keys and naturally it doesn't work to. Do you know how to restart the volume control applet? And I'd like to know why these commands don't start also the volume control (I'd like to know a bit more how it works).
how to dual boot XP, Win7 and F13? I ask this because I tried it a few weeks ago and I couldn't boot into XP. I installed XP, Win7 and Fedora in that order and when I tried to boot into XP from grub I got the message Code: Boot Mgr not found. Press Cntrl-Alt-Del to restart
Logout, Suspend and hibernate works as it should in my gnome-shell desktop.But Shutdown/Restart does not - I just get back to my kdm login screen again...how do I enable this ?
I tried to dual boot Fedora on a vista system. Now fedora boots as primary and when i try to boot vista i get the message, bootmgr missing control, alt, delete to restart.
socat - exec:'bash -li',pty,stderr,ctty -> bash: no job control in this shell
What options should I use to get fully fledged shell as I get with ssh/sshd? I want to be able to connect the shell to everything socat can handle (SOCKS 5, UDP, OpenSSL), but also to have a nice shell which correctly interprets all keys, various Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Z, tab completion, up/down keys (with remote history).
- Found "setsid" socat option. It fixes "no job control". Now trying to fix Ctrl+D. - socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 exec:'bash -li', pty, stderr, setsid, sigint, sane. Not it handles Ctrl+D/Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+C well, I can start Vim inside it, remote history is OK.
Do you know how to write a shell script that executes say 4 instances of the same program in different directories at the same time, and once ONE instance completes it executes a new instance of that program in a new directoryd so on, until 100 instances have been executed, each in their own directory
I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?
Is it possible to have an Expect script spawn an SSH session, log in, then go into interactive mode and give control of the SSH session to a Bash script? Here's a simplified example of the script so far:
I have installed Ubuntu KK server, and when I turn on my machine without monitor, after 5-7 min - system stop and not responding on all my requests (network, keyboard.). With enabled monitor all work good.
i just installed frox ftp proxy for my server using apt-get install frox.after i installed it i did 'sudo /ietc/init.d/frox start" and got t this "starting frox:caching ftp proxy server: disabled"
I have a laptop and a Desktop both systems only used by myself behind a router. Ubuntu Lucid on both and 64 bit systems. I have installed NFS with the desktop as server and Laptop as client. The NFS only works with the firewalls (UFW) disabled on both machines. My current setup on the desktop ufw is
I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.10 on a dual socket X5550 platform with hyperthreading disabled. There should be 8 cores available for running processes: dual-socket, quad-core. When I start 8 single-threaded, cpu-intensive processes running, top shows six processes running at 100% and two at 50% (presumably sharing the seventh core). No other processes are reported as having >1% cpu, and yet the 1-minute load average is listed as over 11.0?!
1) Why is it not running each process on its own core? 2) Why is the load average so much greater than 8? 3) Is there anything I can change in the configuration to fix this?
Any time I try and restart the Shorewall it takes forever. Sometimes I have to reboot the File Server as its faster.In the shorewall-init.log it seems to stick on the loading modules and goes no further. Anyone come accross this before.I have Ubunut 8.04LTS - everything seemed to be working OK until I installed NFS, NIS, AUTOFS - but I can't be 100% sure.
I 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?
This was working perfect and all of a sudden stops. Now when I try and start this service it simply hangs. I have searched and found a ton of reasons why this could be. No fix yet as worked.
