Just upgraded fro 9.10 to 10.04, and went to start VMware player. It needed to load and compile some modules.
All of them got a nice green tick except the Virtual Network Device
Unable to start services. See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-2986.log for details.
I cant access that log file. Set the folder to read only, and any contents, but theres no file in there.
How do I solve this so I can run WMware?
After upgrading Centos 5.4 cluster nodes to 5.5 all virtual services failed to start. All virtual services are marked as 'failed'. The reason: new /usr/share/cluster/vm.sh requires 'which', but this is not reflected in rgmanager-2.0.52-6.el5.centos.
Solution: run 'yum -y install which' on all nodes, and reboot cluster. Hope that will save somebody hours of downtime.
I am trying to get vmware to work in ubuntu 10.04(x64) and it just doesn't seem to work. I've made it work in debian(x64) before with the same installer but here I get errors.
installation seems to go fine with the installation script: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86_64
But when I start it for the first time I get the message before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. and then I can press Cancel or _Install (yes with the underscore) when I press _Install it first stops the VMware Services and then says:
compiling:
-virtual machine monitor(successful)
-virtual network devide(error)
-vmware blocking filesystem(successful)
-virtual machine communication interface(error)
-vmci sockets(error)
after that it says:
Unable to start services.
See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-29088.log for details.
The log file:
Code:
Vmware tells me it cannot start services.I believe the issue is tied to permissions because the message indicated the log with the full details was located in /tmp/vmware-root/setup-4772.log but when I go there I receive a message telling me I do not have permission to the directory and there's a lock symbol on the directory from the File Browser utility.What do I need to do to unlock the folder and get vmware working again ?

I haven't been active in Debian for two years back when Lenny was still in 'testing' and noticed that for some reason it is no longer protocol to restart network services using the 'init.d' scripts. I also noticed the same for Ubuntu (which I don't use or could care about) and am trying to understand what is the correct way now for Debian and what changed? I did a search on Google but didn't turn up any results. Is it no longer correct to run:
Code:
/etc/init.d/network restart
When booting up my IBM Thinkpad Ubuntu stalls giving the following messages:

Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.

It seems to me that the program is telling me it can't find the hard drive or the partition where the OS resides. I have my drive partitioned with into sections for booting, the OS and my Home directory.
I have spent considerable hours searching forums and googling. I have yet to find out what "lm-sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1:" is actually looking at. I have an Abit IP35 motherboard with Ubuntu 9.04 installed.
Here is the output from sensors:
Virtual Device Temp 1 keeps going up to 121 degrees and the computer shuts down. None of the others overheat. Also, my bios does not show my voltages to be set like it lists above. The bios in the motherboard is the latest from Abit.
How do I program a virtual machine to auto-start/boot upon boot up of the host system? I am experimenting with SNORT network intrusion detection system and have installed it inside a virtual ubuntu box which I want to start automatically.

I have installed Linux SuSE 10.3 on a PC (Lenovo Thinkstation A58). However, when I start the computer I get the following error message:
"No valid Host_ID or host-name found."
I then use YaST to set up the network. I get the following error message:
"Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present."
The computer has Windows 7 installed and everything seems to work fine. The LED on the Ethernetplug is blinking when using Windows, but not when using Linux. I guess this means that there is no driver for the Ethernet card (Marvell Yukon 88E8057). I have not found any driver for the card and am considering buying a new one. Which PCI card works with SuSE Linux 10.3?
I am running ubuntu 9.10 with the latest patches and all the prerelase patches. At some point and i am not sure when something broke and none off the services start during the boot. Also the virtual consoles do not start. The only services that start are the one that are controlled by the gnome session. In addition i cannot start the rescue mode. It stops loading at same point where the console should show up. I am guessing that the problem is related to the upstart but i am not sure. I never ever had problems with boot in linux and this is very frustrating. I feel like i am running windows and dont know how to troubleshoot. I cannot see anything in the log that would give me a hint? I dont know where too look. I tried to activate the bootlogd but it does not work. Probably beacause the services dont start correctly. Something broke and one of the updates must changed something but i dont know what and where? Anyone can recommend where to look? How do i see the interactive boot? I tried remove the splash and quiet from grub config but i could not see anything there. I got too fast to the x login.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been running Ubuntu 9.10 since November '09, and since a month or so I'm having boot problems. Gnome starts, but some core services such as ssh and dnsmasq (that have started on boot somewhere in time), don't start anymore. Neither does rc.local fire, so I basically have to startup these things by hand.
Also, I cannot get into the console anymore by using ctrl+alt+f*, because it gives a message like: Starting ntpd or starting libgcrypt 1.4.4, or something in that fashion.
My belief is that something is holding the boot procedure in a waiting state before services such as ssh get to start, but I can't seem to find anything in the log files.
I thought it was in the System>administration menu somewhere, but I just can't see it. What is it called, and where do I find it please?

I have an OpenSuSE 11.1 in vmWare ESX and every other boot I can't access any running network services (ssh, webmin, qmail, mysql, ...) from outside. I just need to login, reboot and voila - network services are working.I gradually updated to 11.2 and 11.3 by following the wiki with success but this problem remained. So I reverted to snapshot of 11.1 and now I would like to identify and solve the problem here first.I also looked at /var/log/messages /var/log/boot.msg /var/log/lastlog but can't find anything usefull. I will now compare those files from the working and non-working boot but meanwhile someone already has an idea or experience what could be wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWith the advent of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS People are migrating servers to the latest LTS. One fundamental thing that has changed is the move to Upstart. In the old days to stop multidaemon service such as Samba, one would simply type /etc/init.d/samba stop and to disable it from starting on boot one would simply type update-rcd samba disable.
Now its the year 2010 and in 10.04 it seems on has to edit a bunch of files, etc. Is there not an easy tool to correctly and properly disable services on startup in 10.04 consistently? in Redhat/Mandrake 10 years ago it was simply
Code:
service smb off
In Ubuntu 10.04 its
1) edit /etc/init/smbd.conf and modify the line that says
Code:
stop on runlevel [!2345]
and change it to
[Code]...
And one has to remember all these changes when the get ready to enable the samba service in the future? This can't be right.I know I must be missing something here. or maybe overlooked something in the upstart documentation.Which seems quite sparse by the way. So the question remains. How does one simply disable a multidaemon service starting on boot such as samba. Any tool to do this ? Is the above the correct method recommended by Canonical to disable services? and enable them?
I installed MySQL and Apache2 to develop & test out the site I'm writing. However since I'll be using them purely for internal use (not exposed to the Net), I don't want them to start with every boot-up, but would like to start them manually when I desire, and stop them after use.With previous Ubuntu (Jaunty) I'd used chkconfig to configure services, but since the current version (Maverick) uses Upstart, is chkconfig still applicable?
I also installed 'bum' (Boot-Up Manager), but strangely, it displays the MySQL server as "unchecked" even though it's running (and starts at boot-up), so I cant see how I can prevent it from starting at boot-up through bum. chkconfig also displays MySQL as not active at runlevel 5, when in fact, it is.
I'd like to know what's the recommended (official) way to configure boot-up services with the Upstart system? I don't suppose directly editing the *.conf files in /etc/init is the best (or even correct) way?
When installing a package that runs a service why is that service started? Surely, this flies in the face of convention and security.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've a little Server and wanna start the services (postfix, apache, etc.) without root. My problem is, that I've installed GroupOffice and I allways got errors about permisions in some folder. When I took a look, some of the folder the apache created were from root some from www-data. After some searches in the Internet I've read that only the root user is allowed to start a Service at Ports 1-1024 or something like that...
I've already searched for programs which give the rights to the applications / unlocks them with root for a certain application ... but I've no more idea what words to search for.
Where is that **itt implemented? Is it possible to disable that?
How can I start the services without giving them root privileges?! It's a security issue after all.

Installed a TP-Link TG-3269 Gigabit card in a machine running OS 11.3 32 bit, when I go into Yast, Network Devices, Network to try configuring the card I get this errormsg: Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details. Couldn't find any mention of the card in dmesg's output, (though the 8139 onboard card is in there) there is some stuff about pci host bridge but I don't know whether they would be relevant or not
The chip on the card says it's rtl8169sc but lspci lists it as being 00:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8369 (rev 10) Done some googling and there don't seem be any drivers for a Realtek 8639 and it returns no matches from a search on realtek's site, but there is a driver there for rtl8169sc chips, which I downloaded and installed, no errors when installing it Even after a reboot I still get the same error in Yast's Network Settings screen, lspci still lists it as 8369 and the device isn't listed at all if I run ifconfig
