Feb 24, 2010

my cmos battery is dead , not worrying that much about it but the problem is ubuntu , it has trouble booting thanks to fsck , there is a bug herebut i cant boot , i get the following error # Superblock last mount time is in the futureand i cant boot , i can get it working sometimes , with allot of work , but normaly it just fails !i came to the conclusion that the CMOS time and date keeps reseting and so ubuntu thinks that the last time i booted was in the future (if this makes any sense) and fsck freaks

Hardware :: Motherboard Repair - Leaking CMOS Battery

May 13, 2011

I have a very old 386 AMD computer that stopped working. it woun't boot. I have noticed that the CMOS battery is leaking there is turquoise residue on the corner of the motherboard. Some of the copper traces seem darkened, I can't seem to see if the acid have etched through the copper traces. Does anybody know how to fix this, will a new battery fix it or is the turquoise residue able to etch through the copper traces? The battery is not the standard one. Its the green one on the picture: [URL]

Ubuntu :: Battery Backing CMOS Memory Dead - RTC Time Setup

Mar 9, 2011

In my computer with Ubuntu 9.10 the battery backing CMOS memory is dead (and replacing it is not an option). This requires from me to set up RTC time in BIOS each time I turn on computer (default date is from couple years back). When I don't set time, Ubuntu don't want to startup and it shows me fallowing message :

/dev/sdb1 : Superblock last mount time (Tue .... 2011, now = Mon ...200 is in the future.
/dev/sdb1 : UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck Manually.
mountall: fsck / [842] terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /
init: mount main process (840) terminated with status 3
Mount of filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.

Is there any way to run Ubuntu without having RTC time set over, and over again in BIOS ? (It's acceptable for me not to have current time).

May 15, 2010

Fstab has at the end some values: 0 1 for / or 0 2 for /home or others.

It is nice to set tune2fs -c 2 for disks that have to be reliable and increase the security of the data.

tune2fs is not working for JFS. How to make this check at every single boot of the Debian/ubuntu machine?

Debian :: Dell Vostro 1710 - Fsck Failed During Boot

Jul 18, 2015

I have Debian Wheezy on my Dell Vostro 1710.

There is a fsck scan happening every 35 mounts on my laptop (i.e. when I boot)

It was fine until a few weeks ago when it started to fail.

Here is the error message :

What should I do to fix that ? I use my laptop to go on the Internet and I don't remember modifying/installing anything that could make this happen.

I found the answer : [URL] ....

I just had to type the root password and run fsck manually as follows : fsck /dev/sda7.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my HP desktop, but I'm running an older version (8.10) on a live CD so I can at least get online to ask for some When I tried to log on earlier it went to a command prompt and said the 'file system check failed' and to run fsck manually. I entered 'sudo fsck' at the prompt and I selected "y" to fix all the bad inodes, when it was complete it told me to restart, I then entered 'sudo restart' at the prompt and it said 'sudo uuid unknown'. I have not installed anything recently and I'm not sure what to do.

SUSE / Novell :: FSCK Failed Error After Resetting Root Password

Jun 9, 2009

We have a server for which the root password had been lost, and there were no other user accounts set up. Yesterday evening I attempted to reset the root password by booting from the install CD and using VI to clear the root password in the passwd and shadow files. I then rebooted, and the system has halted with an 'FSCK failed. Please repair manually and reboot' error, with a prompt to 'Enter root password' below. But of course the root password isn't known (I had expected it to blank after editing the passwd and shadow files, but it doesn't work), so I have no way of logging on.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Wubi Upgrade Failed / Freezes At Battery Check?

May 6, 2010

I have a Wubi installation, and the upgrade to 10.04 froze. I didn't note down the point at which it froze.

When I tried to reboot, I got the grub screen, and when selecting Ubuntu I get lots of text messages scrolling by, but it freezes at battery check.

The machine boots fine into Vista.

Rather than spend a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong in the upgrade, my inclination is to delete the Wubi installation from within Windows, and then do a fresh install of 10.04 under Wubi. Is this feasible/sensible?

There are a handful of files I would like to salvage from the prior installation, however. Could I do that with a Live CD since the prior installation was under Wubi?

General :: Debian Says "fsck Failed" After Installed Pardus2009

Feb 1, 2010

I have debian testing installed on my system. I have a separate home partition which i shared with Pardus2009 which i installed later on a different partition.

Now pardus boots fine without errors, but debian says "filesystem check failed" because last mount time of / is in future. it gives a maintenance shell and after a manual fsck corrects this problem, debian reboots fine, but then says theres a problem with the /home partition (but this can be ignored)

Hardware :: "Failed To Read Block" During Fsck

May 30, 2010

I woke up this morning to the horror that the ext3 partition on my 1TB drive (the only partition on this drive), in an external USB drive case, was not readable. I did some poking around on Google for related issues, and found that what worked for many was to have fsck check, and possibly fix, some errors that have occurred on the partition. This I did with the following command:

Code:

root@naglfar:/# fsck -y -C -V /dev/sdc1
fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /dev/sdc1] fsck.ext3 -y -C0 /dev/sdc1

Debian :: How To Continue Booting Debian After Fsck Is Failed?

Dec 31, 2010

I have bunch of partitions on my Debian server installation, so I was experimenting with partitions and saw that is one partition fails fsck on booting time, system waits for root password or CTRL+D key combination. The problem is that my Debian machine is headless and I use only SSH to it. So if fsck fails, I can't to login to SSH (off course, because it is not loaded at this time). So I need to go with monitor and keyboard to machine and press CTRL+D.One option is to disable disk checking at startup by changing fstab file. I don't like this option. Is there any possibility to auto continue booting Debian machine ?

Ubuntu :: Laptop With No Battery - Checking Battery State

May 1, 2010

Just installed 9.10 followed by a 10.04 upgrade (wouldn't work as a 10.04 clean install). The install and upgrade all seemed to go well.

But now when booting I get a message saying "checking battery state" and then it boots no further. This is a laptop without a battery installed, running permanently from the mains through the charger.

How can I disable this check so that the laptop will still boot without a battery fitted?

Debian Hardware :: Lower Laptop Battery Charging State To Prolong Battery Life

Mar 2, 2010

getting back to our laptop, the stability window is ~3.2V. Meaning that when you operate the battery above this the electrolyte is oxidized on the positive electrode and reduced on the negative electrode. Remember that we only want to oxidize and reduce the active materials and don't want to do anything else. All these reactions other than the ones we want are called side reactions and these are really bad for the battery. The nominal voltage of a laptop battery is 3.7 V which means that something bad wants to happen as we use the battery.So long story short, stuff (e.g., passive layers and poor kinetics of reactions) happens and things are not as bad as they seem and you can increase the voltage up to 4.2V without bad things really happening. All chargers for Li-ion cells today cut the battery off when it reaches 4.2V. What you have to realize is that at 4.2V, these side reactions are present in finite amounts and start to chemically kill the battery, but its not that dramatic.

Operating to 4.1V makes things better and extends the life, 4.0 V is even better and so on. So why don't battery manufacturers cut the voltage off at, say, 4 V to get better battery life? Because every time you cut this voltage down you decrease the capacity of the battery and its run time. The 4.2V cutoff is a compromise between good run time and decent (read "not pathetic) life.On the other hand, if you charge the battery and then pull the plug (so to speak), the battery discharges some, the voltage drops, and these reactions become less of a problem and your battery life goes up. So the best things you can do is to charge the laptop (or cell phone, camera etc.) and once its charged, pull the plug. Your battery will thank you for it.As a matter of fact, if you own a Lenovo Thinkpad, you can actually change the state of charge to which you charge the battery using the Battery Maintenance utility. You can change this from charging to 100% state (where the voltage is 4.2V) to 90% so that your voltage is less. You lose some energy is doing that, but atleast you can change it to 100% when you need battery power and put it back down to 90% when you can plug in. I wish my Mac has the same feature.

I typically use the battery for a while (say 1/2 hour to 1 hour), then plug it in and wait to fully charge it, then I pull the plug and use it again for 1/2 hour to 1h and then I repeat this. Takes some getting used to and I forget to do this, but I try.

Fedora :: Cold Boots Often Take Up To 10 Attempts Before The Computer Successfully Boots?

Oct 29, 2010

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??

CentOS 5 :: CMOS Password Reset Possible From Within It?

Oct 7, 2010

I have a lost password on an Intel DG33TL motherboard which I guess is only resetable by shorting the right jumpers on the board. I have two questions regarding that:

1- Is there any way I can reset the CMOS password through the CentOS? Or is that a thing of old motherboards where one could reset them through the OS?

2- Currently I have two hard drives installed in Raid1 (mirroring each other) through the motherboard RAID (not the through any RAID card or through CentOS). RAID was made prior to installing CentOS. So, would resetting the jumper mess up the whole RAID? I don't want trouble and I can leave without the password but it's good to know if need arises.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Woops Flat Window Manager?

I see in this thread the poster wanted the "old ambiance" look.[URL].. Well, I don't mind the new Ambiance look, but my window manager tool bars have reverted to "Old Win 32". They have gone flat and gray. The window bars still look rounded and dark. After I first log in, the window manager looks fine, and then it flips Flat and Light Gray. I've logged in using the "Ubuntu Classic" setting. Someday I'll learn "Unity", but I'm trying to get some work done. I'm running this system in a virtualbox. Irrelevant, right?

Ubuntu Installation :: Hard Drives Not Bootable - BIOS CMOS?

Jan 20, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop a month ago before I left my apartment for winter break. It worked beautifully for the week I used it, but now the computer won't boot. I'm using the ubuntu live cd right now to type this. I can't install it over my last hdd because apparently both of my hdds aren't bootable. I unplugged the computer for the month I was gone and the BIOS date reset to 2004. I'm not sure if that affected anything, whether I need to replace the CMOS battery? The computer was built in 2004 so I'm thinking the battery might be old. Basically the computer functions on the live cd, just won't boot from either hdd.
