Ubuntu :: Boots And Mounts A Dummy Directory?
Oct 17, 2010
I had a problem with Ubuntu 10 trying to mount a non-existent directory, mount/DRIVE_F/R&RMT . It would post an error message, wait for acknowledgement (or timeout).
The only cure for this incredible annoyance was to manually create the missing directory and path.
This works, EXCEPT THAT now instead of the (Gnome) desktop coming up, the empty directory I created comes up, and I have to close or minimize it.
I can't find where in the boot process the command to mount this occurs.
I need a clear explanation of the complete boot process from cold boot to Gnome GUI exposition.

I am trying to get NFS mounts working properly using autofs, but I'm only getting partially results. I have an auto.master set up for indirect mounts and a list of map files for each entry. Forgot to mention that when I mount the directory using /etc/fstab or setup a direct mount in /etc/auto.master I can see files in the mounted directory...

I have noticed that when I have my home directory mounted over network with NFSv4 ==> applications that use dconf to save preferences do not work correctly.
If I try to save preferences they won't save and I'm getting "Unable to contact dconf service" errors with Evince, Empathy etc.
I was googling this issue and I figured out that Dconf uses inotify() ( [url] and [url]) and those notifys don't work with NFS at all so the whole "dconf thing" doesn't work!
Am I right that Ubuntu is moving from GConf to DConf? If that is true I think this issue will be a serious problem if most of the applications use mechanism to save settings that doesn't work with NFS mounted drives. It is quite common to use NFS to mount home directory in some schools, companies and LTSP-machines.
I've tried to reinstall dconf and libdconf0 packages with no working result. When I'm using my home directory locally there is no problems.
And with Ubuntu 10.04/9.10/9.04... there were no these problems.

I have set up an NFS server on Fedora 13, and I am connecting to it with Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10.
On both clients the command
Code:
works fine. On Fedora I can get into the directory with Nautilus and have read/write permissions as specified in /etc/exports on the server, but on Ubuntu I can only get into it from a sudo'd command line.
The ownership of the file on Fedora is "nobody" and on Ubuntu it's "user #500", with only people in the "500" group having access to it.
Obviously the permissions can't be changed on the client, but with the Fedora box being able to read/write to it with no problems I'm not sure what else I can do on the server to let normal users on the Ubuntu box read it.

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.

my desktop pc is acting very strange. cold boots often take up to 10 attempts before the computer successfully boots. after the 1st successful boot, i can expect 1-3 "glitches". here's what happens:
the first few cold boots fail at various points during the boot process. there appears to be no pattern to it. when it happens, the machine is completely locked up. it responds to nothing, except holding in the power switch for 5 seconds. i'll go through this procedure several times.
finally, it will boot all the way to a desktop. from there, once i log it, i can expect it to lock up completely, usually once or twice. and then, finally, the screen will go blank and it will suddenly be back at the login screen.
usually, once i log in that last time, it's at least usable, although hardly stable. watching flash video seems to cause a complete lockup, with the sound looping. it doesn't matter where the content is coming from (videos or similar) nor does it matter which browser i'm using (firefox or chrome). i've stopped visiting videos-type sites in the meantime.
this installation has always been a tad bit screwy. 99% of the time, firefox fails to shut down properly, resulting in a message letting me know that a crash was detected. earlier today, i was alerted to 3 kernel crashes simultaneously.
right now, i'm using the pc, as normal. the random nature of the problems would lead me to believe it was hardware-related, specifically something like memory (ram). however, i installed memtest86+ and ran it. i walked away for 4+ hours. came back, it was running, no errors were found. i stopped the test and booted, trouble-free.
the pc seems to be stable enough for a backup, but this does have me concerned...obviously. i'm debating wiping the drive clean and installing f13, just as a test. if it's screwy as well, it would have to be hardware-related, wouldn't you think??

On 8181 I have google sitemap generator running but I have it for over a year and it never make any problems.

I have updated my Ubuntu to Lucid 10.04 from 9.10.
Although my sound disappeared in 9.10 only, I thought maybe upgrading might help, but there is no change.
I guess everything is installed fine.
But still aplay -l command shows "NO sound cards.. "
Moreover the sound preferences shows no hardware, no input and a dummy stereo output.
I have banged my head a lot trying various things written in forums and all but no success.
One more thing : When I test "osstest" , I get sound in both the earphones , but altogether there is no sound. I am very much confused.

Sound used to work fine on my computer, but one day my headphone jack stopped working -- when I tried to use it, no sound played through the headphones but did play through the computer's speakers.After I tried to fix it, I lost ALL sound on my computer. I noticed in my sound preferences it says "Dummy Output" and no other hardware.The problem seems common -- I've Googled the issue to death and read many threads here about the same problem -- but no matter how many times I've tried, I can't find a solution that works for me.I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and so there's still a great deal of stuff that

Long story short - on my laptop, touch pad is recognised as PS/2 mouse. Everything works (moving, clicking, dragging, vertical scroll). But I often accidental click the pad while typing.Synaptic driver recognises it as ALPS glide point it seems (synclient -m 1 gives me back only x,y difference for the gestures, but X,Y coordinates are always 0,0) - so then I get everything right including disabling mouse on keyboard input - but scrolling doesn't work So I came up with 2 possible ideas - which I don't know how to do/test:1. Perhaps there is a way to disable mouse input while typing without synaptics drivers?2. Create a dummy input device (mouse), and tie synaptics driver to it. Add another input device in xorg.conf to point to the real touch pad as PS/2. And make the synaptics disable "real mouse" by enabling GuestMouseOff option.

I've been playing around with xdmx for quite a while now. Everything works fine, but my keyboard goes "crazy". I've tried all the command line options to set model etc. For example the cursor keys capture a screenshot. The letters work, but capslock/shift doesn't, etc..Today I tried to create a dummy screen in xorg.conf and then vnc into it. Then the mouse didn't show or work in the vnc client.
Is there any way to fool the nvidia driver to think that there is a second display connected? I think that would work better. The dummy driver doesn't have xrandr etc.I'm trying to get this to work on my desktop and laptop. They both have totally different hardware.I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and xdmx and vnc have been pulled from the default repos.

I have no more sound on my debian. The only audio output I can find is the "dummy output".
When I try ask to aplay -l to display my sound cards, here's the output :
Code: Select alldevice_list:268: aucune carte son n'a été trouvée... <=> french for "no sound card found"
But I can still see my card(s) using lspci :
Code: Select all00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device fa49

I already updated the system, reinstalled pulseaudio and alsa without any success.

I have a pretty powerful desktop running fedora and was wondering if I could use the new SPICE VDI technology to create a dummy terminal virtual desktop using just a 2nd monitor, keyboard, and mouse (no thin client). Is this possible using USB ports? Would I need a 2nd video card for the monitor?

In my update tray applet I often get a notification saying an update for my system is available and when I click for details the only patch listed is dummy Patch. Anyone know what or why this is? It's happening on my 11.1 and 11.2 machines.

I have a dummy server set up in which I am trying to install webmin (which I have done several times in the past and remb it being straightforward and pretty simple!) however when trying to install I keep getting errors.
I install all the perl packages as required :-
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
After downloading webmin I try and install it:-
sudo dpkg -i webmin_ 1.530 _all.deb
This is where I encounter errors regarding apt-show-versions saying that it is not installed.I try and install it but an error appears stating that apt-show-versions is not installed. So I try and install apt-show-versions and that fails as it states that there is libapt package missing too. When I try to force install both - unable to fetch some archives but maybe run apt-get update or fix missing....It just seems like I am going around in circles (as I have run apt-get update and have run the commands as root...)

I'm playing a little bit with OpenCV but the webcam that i have on my desktop isn't app-friendly... so i could not get it working with OpenCV, it's a 0ac8:301b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0301 WebCam and it worked out of the box with Cheese and after a little bit of tweak i get it working with camorama also.But some apps, like Skype and OpenCV demos doesn't work, believe me, i tried everything to get it working, i tried even upgrading to a very new kernel.
So i had the idea to create a "virtual" video device and using some app that can read the wcam i could print the wcam's output on such device, which should be compatible and app-friendly, so i would use that device always.

My sound was working fine. Now I've lost it and the Pulse audio gui claims it has a Dummy Ouput. If I understand correctly, the below indicates my sound card has not been detected.
nnjond@nnjond-den:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards

I finally got audio working on my ubuntu 9.10 desktop... now I am having sound issues watching movies from a network share.The sound device continually randomly changes to "dummy output device" and then there is no sound output. The sound icon dissapears on the toolbar. To get it back and audio to start working I have to $sudo alsa force-reloadIt seems to happen everytime there is a network delay, the movie will stop for a second and then when it plays the sound is gone

I moved some win98 drives into my 10.04 server, and would like to add them to my fstab file.Do vfat partitions have uuid's?If yes, how do I get that number?If no, I can use /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdd1, can I get an idea what the fstab line will look like?Do I need to create the mount points (say, /WindowsCdrive) before the fstab will mount the partition?

What the hell is wrong with 11.04? One day I wake up and find all of my mounts functioning properly, the next day many are missing. I've been running with the same fstab for years. The problem isn't only with cifs shares, but even with internal ext4 shares. I'm so disgusted I'm about to run to Windows after 10 or so years of prompting people to move to Linux.

On my same box are two slackware-installations: one slackware64-13.1 and one slackware32-13.1.
There is an ext Hitachi-hd plugged on my box. With slack64 the ext hd has the uid of the normal user, so I can copy files onto it as user. With slack32 the ext hd has the uid of root, so only root can copy files onto it.
The mounting is "on the fly" with power on/off of the ext hd and NOT set in fstab. How can I change the "automatic" mount-defaults in slack32, that the uid is set to normal user instead of root?

Instead of mounting as something normal(like sda1), one of my drives mounts as /media/286CC2A6397A0F2A and(presumable because of this) doesnt show up in Storage Device Manager, so I can't auto mount

I had it working perfectly everything worked including my headset. The only problem was certain programs were too quiet for my taste and seeing as i have a laptop and cant manually turn up the speakers i looked for a solution and found
Code: [URL] I followed those directions to try and boost the poor sound volume that has plagued me in ubuntu distros. Instead sound sparsly works. It is quieter than was, and if chrome is open at all no sound will play at all in rhythmbox or amarok(the play button dont even works it just sits at 0:00) Only after chrome closes does it play my music files again but only on this partition. As now my windows partition thats also located on this fakeraid just magically disappeared.
how to fix this as i dont even know what i did to begin with. how i can trash kde and start over from within gnome(havent tried to see if it works there yet though) EDIT: Logged back in to gnome and everything works fine. The missing partition is auto mounted like i wanted, the sound is perfectly fine. Obviously something got screwed up in the kde config but i dont know what or what to look for as i have never used kde before.
