Ubuntu :: Upgrade BUG "Configuring Linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic" From 9.04 To 9.10
May 7, 2010
There is a bug in the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. I have repeated it three times. During the "installing the upgrades" section, the upgrade always stops or freezes in the same place. The Terminal message stops at "Configuring linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic". "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-21-generic". I have a new DELL laptop computer that came with Ubuntu 9.04 pre-installed. I am using the Update Manager and have previously updated all files for 9.04 before clicking on upgrading to 9.10.
I did the following command while I had my partition mounted and was not able to restart until i pulled the power. sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic. Everything seems to be working okay now but before I start getting into 10.04 i wanna make sure i just didn't screw anything up.
i use the command to get the infomation of my linux kernel; sudo dpkg --get-selections|grep linux use this cmd to delete the old kernel sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-29-generic but i forget --purge that cause zhe following item show like this linux-image-2.6.32-28-generic deinstall
My normal update/upgrade of packages on a LAMP server (Ubuntu 10.04) for my business has resulted in the following error:
Code: Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common 2.6.32-24-generic-pae /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic-pae run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10 Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic-pae.postinst line 1003.
i cant download and install anything. it appears i need to install linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic (version 2.6.31-21.59) but when i try to i get You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate it. can someone tell me how to fix a broken package
We need to create a "golden" or generic image as a template to VMWare so we can deploy test servers quickly. I can create a template in VMWare but it's a duplicate of the system I made it from. How do I "unconfigure" the template system so that it goes to the installation screen to input things like host name, I/P address and so on?
I'm playing around with the RHEL 6 install so as to create a minimal install image to be used as a generic node for a cloud. I posted this in the security section as reducing the number of services etc seems like a security activity, i.e. reducing the running processes to minimize the attack surface.
Anyways, looking through linux from scratch etc, and the NSA hardening list I'm a bit overwhelmed. Anyone have hints on any good documentation saying what is really needed for a basic system with network/ip/arp/eb rules? The RHEL 6 minimal basic puts in a c/c++ compiler along with other things. that seems unnecessary to me for a basic minimal install.
"linux-backports-modules-nouveau-2.6.32-14-generic" is "stuck" on my laptop. It's a "Not Installed (residual config)" and when I try to I get "E:linux-backports-modules-nouveau-2.6.32-14-generic: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1"
Update manager popped up today and I actually had some time to look through the updates. In the recommended updates section it lists "linus-image-2.6.31-20-generic (New install)." In the description is says "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."
I have read 2 different threads that talk a little about this message but I am still unclear on what it is trying to tell me. What does it mean when it says to "Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package"
I am running a Debian 5.0.4 OS and running in a BASH shell I am currently working on trying to figure out how to 'Enable and disable integrated peripherals'. So, I am assuming this means I need to be able to access the kernel, BIOS, or CMOS setup ... I have had no luck so far, so how do enable/disable them? I think these also will be solved by getting into the kernel/BIOS/CMOS setup but just in case. I am trying to 'set hardware ID for the different devices' and be able to 'configure systems without external peripherals such as keyboards' I am assuming the second one has to do with remote login, but any help in these sections will be extremaly beneficial
Upgraded to latest kernel 2.6.32-23. Ubuntu 10.04 I run a twinview video configuration of 2 screens @ 1920x1200. On booting, X wanted to go to low res for the session, which reverted to one screen (that is, I lost the twin view), but actually kept the 1920x1200 res on the one. I restarted X on got both screen working with the second as a replica of the first. Something has changed in this version of the kernel. Reverted to the previous Kernel version (22) and all is sweet (twin view is back working). But this can only be a temporary workaround.
I have an ATI radeon HD 3400 series video card, and the open-source drivers make my computer run really hot. I tried installing FGLRX by using "Check For New Hardware Drivers", but it did not work, so I installed the ATI catalyst 10.5 package from AMD's website, and am using Xserver-xorg-core-1.7.6-2ubuntu7+backclear1 from k0ekk0ek's PPA so there is no lag when minimizing windows and such.
Everything was perfect until the 2.6.32-23 kernel update came along. I let it update, and rebooted, but the ATI driver no longer starts, even when I uninstall and reinstall it.
I am just using the 2.6.32-22 kernel for now, as the 2.6.32-23 kernel still runs hot without the ATI driver enabled. I would like to start using the new kernel at some point...
Other than the linux kernel image I am using is it ok to remove the others I have and thus gain more disk space ? I only have a small asus 900 netbook.
I recently updated the kernel to the newest version(2.6.32-23-generic) using the update manager and now I am unable to boot in to my Lucid installation.
My setup is LVM on top of a RAID 0 array. My computer had been running in this configuration since Lucid was released.
The Error Code I get on Boot is to the effect of: /dev/mapper/ubuntu-os is not available.. and then I get kicked in to Busy Box.
Once in Busy Box if I try to use mdadm to mount the RAID array I get this error:
If I boot in to the live CD I can mount all of the partitions and LVM volumes, so it does not appear to be a failed drive or volume.
I have looked in the mdadm.conf, lvm config and grub config files and searched the "Google" for an answer with no-avail...
Ultimately I would like to find a solution which doesn't involve a re-installation.
i have installed linux (RHEL4) in a PC and have to do the same process for 150 PC's of same configurationIf i copy the image of the first PC(which i have installed)hard disk to other PCs ..will it works?Or I have to install each PC manually?What is the standard process to do this task.
Debian Wheezy upgraded to Jessie. I can't install my grsec kernel. I did everything exactly like they say on website: [URL] ....
patching: grsecurity-3.0-3.2.66-201502180830.patch and linux-3.2.66 -o.k then ''make menuconfig'': Configuration Method - Automatic (for virtualbox hosting) -o.k compiling the kernel: 'fakeroot make deb-pkg' -o.k and last step, installing new kernel : ''dpkg -i *.deb'' -not o.k
Below is the output from executing command : dpkg -i *.deb which supposed to install 3.2.66-grsec linux-image:
root@debian:/home/userone/Downloads/grsecurity.net/1# ls grsecurity-3.0-3.2.66-201502180830.patch linux-3.2.66 linux-firmware-image_3.2.66-grsec-1_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.2.66-grsec_3.2.66-grsec-1_amd64.deb
[Code] ....
After restarting, old kernel is booting, however from booting menu under advanced GNU/Linux options i can choice 3.2.66-grsec linux-image to boot, unfortunately it 'panics' (kernel panic - not syncing: grsec: halting the system due to suspicious kernel crash caused by root) and only way to turn off the computer is to hold down power button.
I have a a software "Acronis True Image Home".Is it possible to backup CentOS Linux?on Windows do I need to create a bootdisk from Acronis and then boot it up on linux server?I wanted to copy all the files from Server to External USB Hard Drive or via FTP
When I upgraded my system for the first time, I got a message asking me to decide between a few menu items for configuring grub-pc. When I chose to keep the current version installed, GRUB booted to a CLI. What menu item should I choose?
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-25-generic) using a VM on an SD card to use it for my 486-class chip (Vortex86DX).I guess I need to install the 486-class compatible kernel. But I can not find any package using the following command.sudo apt-get -y install linux-386
I've got 38 kernel from backports installed. Whenever I try to upgrade to kernel 39 from backports I get "initramfs-tools (<0.99~) but 0.98.8 is installed". It suggests to install dracut instead of initramfs-tool. I tried to remove old 38 kernel and initramfs-tools and install all kernel 39 packages and dracut but I cannot boot the pc after it. What's going on and how to upgrade kernel from backports?
I upgraded my system to Centos 5.2. But the system hung with 15 minutes to go on Disk 1. So I had to reboot. It completed the Upgrade without errors the second time.
But when I rebooted grub only shows the old images from Centos 4. I enter grub and ran the command "cat /boot/grub/grub.conf", whose existance I found out about reading section 39.6 of the user guide. But it returns an error "Error 15: File not found" Reluctant to proceed without understanding why this config file is not in existance. I assume I could use the command "grub>configfile/boot/grub/grub.conf" to create one from scratch, but that does not seem right. Suggested next steps?
Btw when I let Centos 4 boot is fails all over the place I assume because the system is now 5.2.
I recently performed a reinstall of ubuntu after mucking up my partitions, and I am running it dual booted with windows 7.
I recently performed a grub-pc update, but I didn't know what it was asking me to do during the process itself of updating the process.
It asked me at one point where to install grub, and I selected all my partitions because it suggested that if I didn't know. I think that may have damaged my windows section, which was also selection.
I've attached the output for:
Code:
Problem symptoms:
1) Weird upgrade error in apt-get 2) Unable to boot windows 7 3) Unable to activate proprietary drivers 4) Perpetually being reminded to restart
I wanted to Upgrade from Fedora 13 to 14 and downloaded the Upgrade Image using the Pre_Upgrade Installer. My system downloads the upgrade just fine but when it starts to perform the it asks for the location of the new Fedora 14 ISO and I have no idea where that is or what to enter as a possible location which I have no doubt is in the default area.
I have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
