View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bandwidth Getting Lost / Wasted / Miscomputed By System
Feb 17, 2010I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535 Laptop. It has an SiS 191 Gigabit Ethernet card, and an Atheros 5007EG wireless card. To begin with, the connection configuration was so bad I could only access Gmail and everything else was too slow to even work. I then came across a solution in a bugs page whereby I changed MTU to 1492 and the connection now actually works. Everytime a browser or apt-get makes a fresh connection request, it starts transferring data real quick 150-300 KB/s but then tails off exponentially, and within a few seconds is only bumping along at less than 1 KB/s. The fact that the initial rate is nice and then drops off is evidence to me that somehow the bandwidth is getting lost/wasted/miscomputed by the Ubuntu system.

Sep 23, 2010I installed Lucid a week ago and have been having a blast with it after a two year break from Ubuntu (been using Mandriva). So the other day I went to hibernate the system and it froze. I naturally did a hard reset and when I log back in, no network connection. That is to say, the system tray says it's connected but there is no LAN light on the router or network card. ifconfig shows it's connected too. When I boot into XP (cringes) it works just fine.
No specifics ATM but the card is a D-Link PCI with a Realtek R8***** chipset

View 2 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: System Hangs When Nfs Connection Is Lost?
Jun 16, 2010I have a server which is located in the basement. The server exports a few directories which I mount on my desktop using NFS. From time to time, the connection gets lost. The server is also not always on. I can't change that part, so I worked out a script which notifies me when it's going down, and when it's back up again. It also mounts everything back.However.. As soon as I loose the connection, my desktop seems to be gone. KDE doesn't work, but I can use a few applications like Konsole, google-chrome, firefox, stuff like that. But the plasma-desktop around it hangs.
As soon as the connection gets back again, everything works. I have this issue only when my desktop is running while I loose the connection to the server. If it's down when I start my desktopworks properly. Unless the server comes alive, the nfs directories are mounted and the connection is lost again.I'm not really sure if this is a networking case, it could also be KDE related, but I figured this was the most reasonable place to put my topic in.My hardware:
linux-bbdu:~ # lspci

Fedora :: Lost Panel 'no System Tray Detected'
Jul 2, 2010Just upgraded my FC12 to 13 using preupgrade.On booting up into 13 my panel at the top of the screen that normally holds the menus/system tray etc doesn't seem to have initialised. It's just not there.I had a message about "no system tray detected on this system" which I assume is from one of the applications trying to start up in the systray.I've not found anything obvious in the logs, but then I may not be looking in the right places.

OpenSUSE Install :: Restore System Search For Lost Partitions?
Dec 28, 2009As I type this, I'm waiting (and waiting) (and waiting) for the Repair Tool Box, "Search For Lost Partitions" tool to stop running off of the install CD. I didn't actually mean to do that (I meant to select "repair file system!) and I don't see any way to abort it! How to I make it stop? (You can insert your best Deanna Troi voice there, if you like: "make it STOP!") Or do I just wait until sometime next week for this rascal to finish examining a THREE HUNDRED GIG partition, byte by byte . .. ?

View 7 Replies View RelatedRed Hat :: "Lost" User Mysql While Updating System
Feb 17, 2010I ran up2date yesterday and it installed a few new MySQL packages as well as a new kernel.
It got through everything up until it went to install the smp version of the kernel, and up2date spit an error at me and quit.
The problem was that my system keeps old kernels and /boot was full, so it couldn't add the new files there. No problem--I manually removed (via rpm -e) six or seven of the old kernel packages (there might have been a dozen or so), ran up2date again, and it successfully installed the new kernel. Great. So I rebooted the system.
And when it came back up... MySQL didn't start.
I tried to manually start it just to see, and was greeted with "chown: 'mysql:mysql': invalid user" Yikes! Sure enough, a look at /etc/passwd showed NO user "mysql." I quickly tried "useradd mysql" but it wouldn't go for that because there was a GROUP mysql.
I checked to make sure that there was no user with an id matching the group id of mysql and then manually added mysql back to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
After doing that I was able to start the MySQL daemon and it now properly starts up and runs fine after rebooting.
So basically, it's fixed, but I still don't exactly understand what the heck happened. Updating to a new MySQL rpm and having up2date fail while installing a new kernel somehow deletes my "mysql" user from the system? I shouldn't have to be manually modifying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow because of an up2date error, I wouldn't think.
Edit-- This is a RHEL 4 system now running 2.6.9-89.0.20.ELsmp on a Dell PowerEdge 1750..
OpenSUSE Install :: Moving A Moderately Complex System From An Old System To A New System
Sep 25, 2010My problem is that I need to move a moderately complex system from an old system to a new system. The old system is a core 2 duo running on an asus p5k-se (p35 chipset) M/B, Nvidia 8500 gt, 3 x sata II hard disks, 1 x sata dvd, 1 x ide hd, 4GB ram. It runs opensuse 11.1 kde 4 as a desktop system + samba server, apache server, database server + other non-opensuse software. In addition some of the opensuse software is not the default 11.1 versions as later versions were required. The nvidia driver is from the nvidia repo. There are several file systems, some under LVM.
The new system will be a core5 760, asus p7p55d-e M/b (p55 chipset), nvidia 240, 3 x sata II HD, 1 x sata dvd, 4GB ram and possibly 1 x ide HD. This M/B also includes USB 3 & sata III. I have no USB 3 devices but this may eventually change. I have no plans for sata III and believe that it may be better to attach any sata III SSD to the sata II bus.
What I would like to do is to move the hard disks from old system to the new system. What I would like to know is, if the system is left at 11.1, is the system likely to work with the new hardware. If the answer is no, if the system was upgraded to 11.3, would the transfer of the hard disks then work? In order to upgrade from 11.1 to 11.3 using the DVD i believe I should get rid of all non-default repos. I assume that I should also get rid of anything that was installed from them, e.g. the nvidia driver and any software versions installed manually outside RPM. Also is there any default 11.1 software that should be removed either before or after the upgrade to 11.3
Ubuntu :: Internal Disk In A Running System Usb-booted System Does Not Result In The System Detecting The Disk
Feb 27, 2011My system decided to crash on me, hard. It was humming along happily for about 2 months and now doesn't boot. If I boot from hard-disk, I get grub. Launching the first kernel choice hangs. I thought maybe the install was corrupt, so I booted from usb install disk. The usb hdd didn't boot; something about an error trying to access /dev/sda . Unplugging the internal disk and plugging in the usb install disk does result in the system booting. Plugging in the internal disk in a running system usb-booted system does not result in the system detecting the disk.
How do I know if the disk is physically broken? This seems unlikely since it does manage to launch grub consistently. Or is this still possible? How can I try to mount whatever is left? The usb install disk doesn't even list the /dev/sd*. Any pointers on how to reformat the drive if it's not being mounted?

Ubuntu :: Upgrade From 10.04 To 10.10 Lost MBR?
Apr 26, 2011I think I've lost my MBR upgrading from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.

After reboot I just end up in a grub recovery console.The system was a dual boot with windows vista.how I can get both my operating systems to work?

Ubuntu :: Functionality Lost With 10.04 LTS?
May 7, 2011I finally upgraded my desktop from 9.10 to 10.04. I do not feel that this was a step forward; a lot of little things just don't work. For example, when shutting down with 9.10, it automatically shuts down in 60 seconds. With 10.04, it waits *forever* for a 2nd mouse click.
The USB drive - there used to be an option to un-mount it without removing it. That's gone now, and I'm guessing that I will find more of these as the days go on. And all the colors have been removed from the panel applets. Not really a functionality issue, but it is a negative to the user experience.
So my question is: How can I restore these features? Is there a configuration somewhere I can edit?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Lost LAN After Upgrade To 9.10
Feb 26, 2010I have 2 machines with ubuntu (now 9.10) and 2 with XP. After upgrading the ubuntu machines to 9.10 my wired LAN does not let me connect between the linux and MS machines. They did before the upgrade. Where and what should I check to see why the ubuntu machines cannot connect to each other or to the XP machines?I have looked at the network connections and it shows 'auto eth0', last used 'never'. I select the auto eth0 and click on the edit tab and the wired tab shows a MAC address and MTU is set to automatic. The 802.1x Security tab shows it not checked and grayed out. The ipv4 settings tab shows 'automatic'. The ipv6 settings tab shows 'ignore'.
When I click on the Places/Network, the Windows Network icon comes up. When I click on it, I get the MSHOME icon and the WORKGROUP icon. When I click on either of them I get message saying "Opening MSHOME" and then the message 'unable to mount, failed to retrieve share list from server'. The same thing happens when I click the WORKGROUP icon.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 10.04 Netbook Remix - Lost?
May 1, 2010I'm just coming back to Ubuntu after last seeing a GNOME desktop almost a year ago now. Just installed the new 10.04 version on my EEE 1000h with little to no problems. However, since then I've been kinda lost. Is it just me, or has Ubuntu been changed substantially over the last two distributions?
1) How do I change the netbook remix desktop mode? I like the left menu design, however I like the traditional desktop even more. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the desktop mode switcher anywhere.
2) Where is the grub menu.lst found? Looked in the /boot/grub/ folder and it doesn't seem to be there anymore.
3) Where's my multi touch? Do I have to install a package or configure a setting somewhere? With Jaunty it was a simple install and play. This time it doesn't seem that way at all.
