View 3 RepliesI installed Kubuntu on my Toshiba A135 with no problems at all...everything works: sound, wifi, LAN, etc...BUT whenever I reboot/restart the computer my Display and Audio settings revert back to default, and it doesn't happen when I log out, just when I restart/shutdown the computer. I have an Intel 945GM chipset and I have set my external Acer 23" monitor as the default and only monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz using KDE's System Settings...And I chose to disable the laptop's internal monitor...but whenever I restart, the display returns to a 1024x800 cloned resolution (the default one)...which by the way looks hideous on a 23" monitor. And also the sound mixer goes back to the default levels.
So, can anyone help me out? I've been using Ubuntu for over 3 years and I've never had any problems like this one. I have just fell in love with Kubuntu, it looks and runs great, but this problem/bug is keeping me from being comfortable with it... I've been reading some things about XRandr and some commands and stuff and nothing have worked until now. I wonder, is it a common bug in Kubuntu or maybe an erroneous setting in the session manager....?
After serveral reboots without problems. My Xubuntu 10.04 LTS now asks for my wifi security keyat every boot. Somehow It looses it.

I running Ubuntu ver 9.04 I have 2 problems that I think are related. After finally making a network connection I updated Ubuntu, and after a reboot I lost my network connection again.I updated the following file nm-networkmanager-settings.conf and saved it. After another reboot I then lost my network connection icon and it also does not appear under System > Preferences. I tried to then update the same file and can not save it, I get "could not save file".I have tried sudoedit, sudo gedit, gksudo gedit and some others that I cna not remember now and all give me the same result

I connect to the network/Internet using Wired ethernet (TCP/IP) with static IP. Everytime I reboot/restart my network configurations are lost and I have to re-configure. I have googled this problem and have seen a few posts/bugs in launchpad etc. for what appears to be the same issue...but unfortunately I am not getting a clear solution to this problem.
Just for clarity, I am using the following commands to re-configure my network everytime:
Also note that I have already tried editing the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. But it seems that these are not being picked or are being overridden.
I have a bit of a silly question, as I should know better, but I have a Toshiba A200 laptop that wasn't working well with the default ath5k driver so I switched to madwifi. It works great, but after the laptop goes into suspend or reboots, the driver doesn't get loaded and wireless isn't available.
I've been working around this by going to proprietary drivers, which shows the madwifi driver. When I say activate, it comes back with a failed message but works.
I'd like to save myself from going through this several times a day, but I'm not 100% sure what to do. Do I add madwifi to modprobe or something like that?

I turned down my txpower with the command: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 3 Which works to fine turn down my broadcast power from the default value of 15 dBm to 3 dBm. But it is reset every time I restart Ubuntu 11.04 to the default value of 15 dBm. How do I save my modified txpower settings so they don't reset after a restart? It is really annoying having to re-enter the command every time I reboot my computer!

View 4 Replies View RelatedGoogle brought me no love on this one, tried searching here with little luck as well. So I'm hoping somebody vastly more experienced than I can shed some light on my plight.
The situation:
I have a CentOS 5.3 x64 server running the latest cPanel which works fantastic. I issued a graceful reboot and the server came back up (according to the DC) just fine to a login prompt. Apparently the system lost all of its IP address configuration. Primary IP, secondary IP's gateway, you name it and it was gone. Now my secondary IP's were showing in cPanel after I had the DC re-enter my main IP address/gateway. But listed as not active due to the fact that they were not anywhere to be attached to the interface. i.e. eth0:1 eth0:2 etc and so on.
I have no idea where to begin looking for this problem and am afraid to reboot it again (at least until I get my lantronix spider up there). I've never experienced this with any of my other CentOS/cPanel servers either. All similar configurations CentOS 5.3 x64, latest cPanel as well. My hardware is all Supermicro gear as well and has been solid in the past.
Maybe I'm just missing something, granted I've only been managing Linux based servers for about two years now. This is actually the first real problem I've ran into on any Linux distro, they are normally pretty solid. So I assume it's a configuration error on my part somewhere.
I insert the domain name "g3c" in menu: System->Administration->Network (file attach)

I'm trying to get an external monitor hooked up to my laptop with the intention to use both simultaneously using TwinView. Actually, I'm not "trying to make it work": everything works fine, using NVIDIA X Server Settings. However, when I reboot these settings are lost and I have to manually expand my desktop again.
I've found that running NVIDIA X Server Settings as root should allow one to "Save to X Configuration File", in order to let it automatically load the right settings. When I click this option, however, I'm asked to manually provide a file name with my home folder as the default location. I'm confused how to proceed - where should I save this configuration? Or should I be taking a completely different approach in the first place? (note: KDE 'Display and Monitor' doesn't work. Only when I use the NVIDIA-thingy KDE will recognize that my desktop is expanded to a 3600x1080 resolution)

I have multiple ubuntu machines and I connect to one through an NFS share. I have done this for a few years without issue. However, since re-installing ubuntu and upgrading to 10.4 I have a problem with my system hanging when the remote shares are lost.
Basically, I can power down the machine downstairs, and my main machine then has a fit. I can not open any folders in ubuntu, nor can I shut down. If I try and shut down the system hangs, last time it hung for 8 hours before I had to kill the power.
These are the lines in my fstab
I don't know what I've done wrong, or how I can prevent this from hanging. I have googled the heck out of this as well and can't seem to find an answer either.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have set up a new IP specifically for SSH and configured SSHD_Config accordingly to listen on this new interface and a specific port. However when I reboot SSH is not starting. Looking in the syslog it shows that it is unable to start. It looks like its trying to listen on the interface before it is set up.
Code:

I am able to start SSH manually once the server is booted. Do I need to set up my interfaces differently to ensure they are available prior to SSH starting somehow? I don't want to change my ssh config to listen on all addresses.
I have an iSCSI target on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server that is giving me access to 3 x 2TB volumes. I am using LVM to create 1 big volume and using it as a place for my backup software to write to. Upon initial setup I tested to see if the connection would still be there after a reboot, and it was. After going through the trouble of configuring my backup software (ZManda) and doing a few very large backups I had to reboot my SAN (OpenFiler) for hardware reasons. I took my server down while performing the maintenance and brought it back up only after the SAN work was done. Now, the LVM volume is listed as "not found" when booting.
Using iscsiadm I can see the target but LVM doesn't know of any volumes that exist using those targets. I need to get it back up and running and then troubleshoot the reboot issue.
I have a problem while rebooting my 9.10 server when I have SAN partition mounted. The message is something about the swap that can not be cleaned during the process. All works if I unmount the partitions before shutting down or rebooting.So I though to create a bash script that unmounts the parts during runlevel 0 and 6.I've created a simple script like this in /etc/init.d:
#!/bin/bash
umount /mnt/xxx

The Storage Setup Disks: Assorted selection of 9 disk. 750GB, 1000GB and 1500GB Seagate and Western Digital disks. The disks are joined through a standard LVM2 configuration. I don't know the LVM term, but normally you'd call it a JBOD setup. On that LVM device, I've put a cryptsetup device, made with the LUKS tools (aes-xts-plain 256) On the cryptsetup device, I've created and mounted an EXT4 partition.
All in all, a completely standard LVM2 and LUKS setup, running EXT4. After a reboot, I proceed to unlock my cryptsetup encryption device, and then mount the EXT4 partition. All is well, the mount is accessible and everything looks fine. I then try to send a file to the mount, via Samba. After a few hundred MB written, the I/O wait goes berserk. It stays at 50% (dual core setup remember). The system becomes unresponsive to network commands (can't browse samba) for about 5-10 minutes. When it finally responds, the I/O wait is gone and everything is now fine. I can write and read hundreds of GB's of data without any issues at all. I can benchmark and stress all disks perfectly fine and no logs are showing disk errors.
I tried monitoring my disks with 'iostat -d 2' while the I/O wait was happening, and there is some slight Blk_read/s activity on 1 disk at a time. First for example /dev/sda is showing a little Blk_read/s acitivty, then it jumps to the next disk, and when every disk has show that slight Blk_read/s activity (500-800 or so) the problem is gone and the I/O wait is no more. I've tried changing motherboards, switching disks around on the controllers, checking individual disks, replacing disks and I've tried different versions of Ubuntu. The problem however persists. I could see it being a network issue, possibly a driver issue. But since the NIC is a standard RTL8111 on-board it seems unlike that the problem wouldn't be more widespread since this NIC is litterally being used everywhere. I did change my motherboard, so a faulty NIC seems unlikely twice in a row.
Where can I find the updates time line that requires Ubuntu server reboots for this year? Is there such a list ?
