Ubuntu :: Few Errors But It Went By So Fast Could Only Read The "error" Part?
Jul 14, 2011
so what i did first was obviously use wubi to download and install ubuntu. after a 14 minute download, i was finally ready to proceed with the installation. i was excited, however, little did i know the installation would soon be a complete train wreck with little children aboard.here i am, sitting down, rebooting my LAPTOP computer (Acer Aspire 5336, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU - 900 @ 2.20 GHz 2.19 GHz, 3.00GB RAM, 64-bit operating system -- bought it at walmart because my desktop is still at my parent's house),and then i choose to boot up ubuntu instead of windows 7. everything looks like it goes fine so far.
there were a few errors but it went by so fast i could only read the "error" part. i wait for the installation thingy to show, but it doesn't! the screen goes completely blank after a few more words show up and disappear all in a blink of an eye, so i wait a very long time. it shows a purple screen, and asks me to choose a boot thing or w/e. i choose linux (there were other options like windows 7, linux recovery, i forgot the rest), then it just restarts the computer and i choose ubuntu and it does it again, however it never shows the purple screen!
Just today I started getting notices about lack of disk space on my system. After much digging I found that .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old were taking nearly 70GB of space combined. The primary message I'm getting over and over again is: SSL_Write: I/O Error I have been unable to figure out what's causing this error.
I have had this happening off and on, since I moved to Ubuntu 10.04, via clean install. I did pick EXT4, which is the only difference I can think of.
What happens is, 3 of my log files suddenly start filling fast with "Unknown" errors. The three files are kern.log messages and syslog. All three files will have about the same measurement of size. It can take a few weeks or it can speed along fairly fast and use up my free space of 6 GB. For instance, today, I blanked the three files and within the space of about 4 hours they grew to almost 2 GB each! I blanked them again and rebooted, and in 3 hours they only grew to 5 MB each.
Below is a sample which shows where the "unknown" errors start. The first such error is in BOLD so that it is easy to find. Once they start happening there is little else printed in the logs. Does anyone know how to track down what is happening and fix this?

While I had the case open to swap out a network card I thought I would drop in an old USB card (previously used with no problems on a machine running Debian) however on boot I'm now getting some errors showing up. The card has been sitting around for a while so it could be an issue with the card.
I want to read values from a file...these are basically one word values, that is to say that the text file I want to read from contains lines of word length 1, as in:
Installing 11.2 from KDE LiveCD on an IBM ThinkCenter with 3.2Gb CPU and 1Gb RAM. Ubuntu 9.04 on first two partitions. I go through the configuration, click to 'install': Install display bars remain blank. After 2-3 minutes, black screen with scroll of attempted installation pieces and the error message: "Respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min." Freeze.
Other posts mention problem with init. But this is happening with the install so not able to address that. No apparent md5chksum for LiveCDs. No mention of this problem in installation help guide. Does anyone know how to deal with this? If you need more info, I will provide. Though it seems this is not an unusual problem when booting an installed system, there's no mention of it happening during installation.
how easy it would be to read the contents of a physical disk that was part of a larger logical volume. The disk contains a "Linux LVM" partition that spans its entire size. My problem is that one of my disks died, and I have to send it back for a warranty replacement. However, the disk is dead, and I can't zero it out. I'm just trying to assess how difficult it would be (or at least how likely it would be) for a tech that's checking out the disk to get at the data.
The install 9.10 CD has a bug and I can't continue with the install after booting up and selecting the language. My screen ends up having vertical green bars. Also get a bunch of sr0 read errors. I used the same CD to install on my laptop, which went well. I am currently using 9.04 and it work flawless

Recently my Ubuntu system decided to crash. Sometimes the mouse freezes, sometimes I just can't open anything, and other times I can access the terminal but can't write. I can open files as read only both in my /home partition and in /var/log, but I can't write at all. Sometimes I get Bash: input/output error. I *can* "ls /proc", if that makes any difference.
I find that if I reboot, the problem goes away for a few minutes and then reoccurs. I can read/write to my other (windows) drive, although when I did a chkdsk in win7, I get a "An index entry from index $0 of file 25 is incorrect" message. Is the disk failing? Just a few bad sectors? Maybe the filesystem is corrupt? Why can I read but not write?
I have a server that has a Fibre Channel mount that is having issues. When I can in this morning I found that it had switched to read only. Now looking through /var/log/messages I see that there are errors reported on the disk. I know that i will need to run fsck on it, but I do see lines about the device mapper failing for mpath0 first, which is the device which is mounted. I am wondering if someone can take a look and see if this is just a drive issue, or an issue with the fibre channel connection.

I've got a Lucid system (normal Ubuntu, not any of the derivative distros) which has been throwing up the following error message this morning when trying to boot:

I have a VIA EPIA motherboard with a VT1612A integrated soundcard. With Linux Kernel 2.4.22 I have no problem reading from the soundcard using a custom application.

I just used dd to clone a linux partition to a new hard drive, it had 800mb left on the old hard drive, after dd, new hard drive lists 1.29/1.3 terabytes full. Is this what happens by default in dd? How can I fix this?
I'm designing an embedded USB device. When I connect the device to the computer, I get the following messages:
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error 2 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error 2 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error 2 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -71 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -71 usb 1-3: device descriptor read/8, error -71
Note that other USB devices work fine. I am fairly certain that the problem is with my hardware. I'd like info on what these error messages mean to help my debug. Searching Google I wasn't able to find any explanations about what these errors mean exactly.

I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.
we have access to one domain name , 1 internet ip address and may servers hosting different part of site. I want them all to be accessed via same web site . some of the server in our network are embedded devices.they have their specific utility being hosted on that machine. So the severs are bound to be distributed . I just wanted to know how can I access them via single ip, domain name.
I'm still getting my head around setting things up on my web server, I've configured php to run off of Fast CGI, rather than mod_php, due to better memory consumption. I've managed to get my virtual hosts configured to work with fastcgi, ensuring the following options are set:
I tried adding those settings to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf, but this doesn't seem to work. Whenever I go to www.mydomain.com/phpmyadmin , I just get a 403 Forbidden Error. This used to work no problems on mod_php.
[URL].. because the alias is set so that my virtual hosts can access it through /phpmyadmin. There is probably something basic I am missing here.
I ran the ubuntu 11.04 live CD on my laptop that had an earlier version of ubuntu (9 maybe??). I really liked what I saw so I used the Install ubuntu 11.04 wizard and chose the option to override the earlier version. During the 'Importing document and settings' step a pop-up entitled Failed to unmount partitions. the body stated: migration-assistant needs to mount a partition, but cannot do so because the following mount partition could not be unmounted:
/dev/sda1
The only app showing on the taskbar is the Install. this is running from the live CD.
So I've been writing a code and I have been adding functions to make life easy, but all of a sudden when i added the last function I got this error *** glibc detected *** /home/ahzeeper/Desktop/C-code/check6: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0804c048 ***followed by a huge backtraceNow here is my code
In bootseqence of linux, the first step is check the CMOSRAM(size 64bytes) setup for custmor setting. So i am just confused wether CMOSRAM is a part of motherboard or is a part of RAM itself.
My wireless seems to be fast for a good 30secs then bang takes good while to load the next page almost as if it's disconnecting and then reconnecting/scanning reconnecting. Why cant it stay connected. I have WAP PSK security here is my network setting please let me know if I should change any of them:(side not is there a way to fix this problem occuring so frequently it says on the wiki that it should only occur once in a whilce https:[url].....
I tried to compile Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller driver for fedora 13 64 bit kernel version is 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64. I have installed kernel source , kernel header and necessary all things to compile it. (linux-firmware-20100806-4.fc13.noarch also installed). I tried AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.13 source from Atheros web site.
But when I try to make it it give following error. Code: Makefile:173: *** *** Aborting the build. *** This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0. Stop. It is not compiling issue because I compiled and installed broadcom wireless driver. Makefile is attached here (renamed as Makefile.txt -> Makefile)
I installed Double Commander only to find that it was broken and couldn't launch. So searched and found it was a known problem and fixed already in unstable version. There is a build on Launchpad.So:
Code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexx2000/doublecmd It finished fine. When I reloaded my Synaptic window, it did some work and I saw the first errors: Error 404 in IIRC 3 different places. Then came another error, I didn't understand it and clicked a button. Synaptic closed. I think I know what was the 2nd error because no every time I start Synaptic, it shows a message and after I click the only available button (Close), it quits. The message is:

I can install the system, start setting it up, but eventually the system will halt with "Read only" errors, Input/Output errors on the drive the Distro is installed on and crap out. everything is working fine in Windows 7. It is just linux, seemingly. I've checked the hard-drive, memory, etc. I'm at an utter loss as to what is going on!
I changed my motherboard battery last night, and now get "Read Error" on booting to Ubuntu, on dual boot system. This is the most frustrating thing in an otherwise great operating system. It is the second time I have encountered this issue (last time was a change of power supply). I fixed it last time after three days of re-loading Grub2 and playing around Grub 2 updates, etc. Fixed it eventually, but as usual, no idea of what eventuality fixed it. I think I found a web page buried deep in the 'net, which talked about device.map. Do you think I can find it again - not yet - day 2 searching for the answer... This is what the grub script tells us:
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS however when I attempt to boot the HDD I get the following error message
Read Error
Thats it nothing else, I am able to boot a USB installed version of Ubuntu 10.04LTS no proble. I can boot a Live CD of the same version no problem but when I installed it to the hard drive it just seems to fall over. I've tried adjusting the boot order, putting the HDD first and removing everything else but no joy. Im a linux n00b so no idea what to do next apart from go back to windows.
I recently got a computer donated to me for free from my Computer Science class, as the teacher couldn't figure out what the problem was that was preventing him from booting to the startup screen (all I could figure out was that the slot the memory card was in was bad, so I switched slots and got it working). The hard drive on the computer was wiped with a disk nuker called DBAN. Now I would like to install a Linux OS on the computer, but whatever disc or distro I try gives me similar "unable to read" errors. I would like to know if there's anything software-wise I need to do before attempting to replace any hardware. An example of the error I'm getting is as follows (using a mandriva livecd):
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 1281: /var/log/dmesy: Read-only file system SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xa6e58 SQUASHFS error: unable to read cache block [29b963ea:782] SQUASHFS error: unable to read directory block [29b963ea:782]
Anyone know what I need to do to get this fixed so that I can install a Linux distro?
About a month and a half ago I purchased two new 500GB serial ATA hard drives from Best Buy to replace my other, very old 186GB SATA hard drive. Since then I've had issues with Linux. Sometimes when it's booting it gives a bunch of error messages, such as "failed to set xfermode," and then it boots. Other times, after INIT has started, I get ext3 errors about failing to read an inode block, then "cannot start /sbin/agetty" and "ID c5 respawning too fast," and at this point booting fails altogether. These errors seem to happen randomly. However, once the system has booted, everything seems to work fine, and there are no further issues.
I know it's not a faulty hard drive or filesystem because I've tried Linux on both hard drives numerous times, and I've reformatted many times, one time I even tried erasing one of the hard drives byte for byte and then formatting it, and still had issues.
I've tried Arch Linux, Gentoo, VectorLinux, and openSUSE, and all of them have given me these problems. The live CD's for Ubuntu 10.04, Clonezilla, and GParted all have trouble partitioning/cloning/installing to these hard drives. At this point, it's obvious to me that there is a universal problem with this particular model.
GRUB and Syslinux both work fine, and Windows XP works fine too. It's only Linux that's giving me issues.
I would rather not buy a new hard drive if I can help it, seeing as these two are almost brand new. Is there some BIOS setting that could be causing these problems? Is it some unsupported feature in the hard drives? Is it a bug in the Linux kernel?
The hard drive model is WD5000AADS. Both hard drives are this same model. My motherboard is an NForce 680i SLI.
EDIT: I've tried ext2/3, ReiserFS, and XFS, and all of them do this, so I don't think it's a filesystem issue.
