I am using bootchart to investigate the slow booting of ubuntu 10.04 and I found that fsck process is called every time in the booting for around 5 seconds even the screen does not show any hard disk checking, is that normal ?

I'm setting up an Ubuntu 10.04 machine with the sole purpose being to function as a vpn server.I got openvpn set up but the startup script doesn't appear to be called on bootup even though it is does appear in the rcX.d directories and the openvpn script is in /etc/init.d and is executable and belongs to root:root.I tried running "update-rc.d -f openvpn remove" and "update-rc.d openvpn defaults" on the offchance something went wrong when it was first added to the startup links.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 642 2010-10-28 16:44 init_test
mike@xxxxxxxxxx:~$ find /etc -name S99* | grep init_test
find: /etc/rc5.d/S99init_test
[code]....
The script runs through source and ./ without issue and behaves correctly. Here is the source of the script:
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: init test script
[code]....
When the machine starts, I don't see "script called" or "start called" in the test.log at all.
I feel there's a bit of a misunderstanding going on between C++ and me...My problem is that I have a deque of pointers to a class, and create objects then add them to the deque in a for loop. However, the destructor is called on the object as soon as the loop quits.
Code:
This prints:
Code:
Now, if I change the deque from deque<Test*> to deque<Test> then it works fine - I get:
Code:
However, I can't do this with my actual code, because I am creating a deque of pointers to an abstract class, so it won't let me instantiate the class. (This is all so that I can take advantage of polymorphism, and call functions on a set of similar objects without worrying what type of object I'm dealing with).
So, I suppose my question is: what is the correct way to create that deque of pointers to the abstract class? I don't seem to be barking up the right tree currently.
When I do a forced fsck, I would like to have a log file to look at after boot.
When I check /var/log/ there are no files there with fsck output
I've run force fsck in these ways:
shutdown -rF now
-and-
touch /forcefsck
Can anybody tell me what kind of fsck errors are found on a system?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI went to update my software and I saw the system wants to remove three programs. I googled them and they seem important but I can't update without removing them so I'm stuck. I've included a screen shot of the items the system wants to remove.
Also for the past month I haven't been able to update something called seahorse, the system says it's a broken package but I don't know how to fix it. Is this an essential program or can I un-install it?I want to upgrade to 10.10 but I am reading how all updates must be done before and these issues are holding me back.
I booted up my laptop and the boot sequence got stuck at the boot splash screen (plymouth). I did an esc and I saw a failure message, the error I remember in my panic mode is: fsck terminated with status 8
I rebooted, got the same message. Rebooted again and this time, to my relief, it worked.
1) What happened, should I be concerned? Not sure why it worked after 2 reboots.
2) Is there a possibility this could happen again?
3) Are there any boot log files I could look at?
4) Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or a check of some sort?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Studio 1535 laptop. No dual boot. The disk is partitioned and I've got my /home folder on the other partition for situations like this.
i have a ubuntu 10 server (as server LAMP) , i was trying to repair a couple of unix files with fsck command on directory, thinking it would apply only that directory, but it affected all system, in th end it says: "file system has changes, restart ubuntu", then services go down, after some directories fail, restart funtion do anything... i switched on again, but at start show error.
I got another ubuntu and installed damaged hard disc, but, i can see file sytem, i has been trying to repaired with TestDisk but i can't...
i want to recover mysql database at least, but a don't know what to do.... how a fsck get damaged SO
I know I can force a fsck run at next reboot using
Code:
shutdown -rF now
or
Code:
touch /forcefsck
can I force the fsck to more indepth checks such as doing directory optimisations, bad blocks checks, etc. maybe by passing parameters to the fsck call during startup?
I am wondering if there is a way to manually trigger a file system check during boot by pressing/holding a key. Maybe there is already a keyboard shortcut built in to do this?I know that using tune2fs you can modify the number of boots (mounts) between file system checks, or even use "shutdown -rF" to reboot the system and force a file system checkAlso, I do not want to force the user to choose to run/skip the file system check during boot. For example, prompting the user with, "Do you want to run a file system check [y/n]?" each boot (or even each time the system thinks it should run a file system check),s not desirable

As I was creating a swap partition, something went wrong and I ended creating a much bigger file which consumed all my empty space. Ubuntu stopped working and now I can't seem to fsck / mount my disk. Currently I'm on a live cd. fsck will give:
Code:
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda2
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
However, the file system is not mounted.

I need to boot in WXP just because the guys at the company don't want to update for Linux drivers in the TS so I can't connect from home unless I do it in Windows XP. But today WXP refuses to boot, when the progress bar appears, the system boots automatically. The WXP CD doesn't help, the repair console doesn't let me run chkdsk or anything (dir C: gives an error about listing addresses or something like that). Is there any way to use fsck or anything in Linux to repair the WXP NTFS partition?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a script - called 'backit' - to back up files to a tarball - listed below (<backup.lst> contains files I want backed up)
#!/bin/bash
# 22/7/2010
# Backup important files
cd ~
tar cvfz .backup/backup.tar.gz -T .backup/backup.lst
cp .backup/backup.tar.gz /media/Archive/.backup
Typing 'Backit' in the shell works very well producing a backup file, <backup.tar.gz>, of 2 298 953 bytes and contains all the correct files. So far, so good! I put a line in crontab - /home/alan/bin/backit
The program runs every hour on the hour and produces the <backup.tar.gz> file. However, this file contains only some of the files and has a size of 76 762 bytes. Using "tar tvf backup.tar.gz" lists some of the files and ends with an error indicating an EOF encountered before the end of file. If the script executes correctly when typed into the shell, why does it not run to completion correctly when run by cron?
I would like to adjust the journal program called lifeograph. First I would like to build it, clean without any adjustments.
I'm using this version: [URL]
Readme file says:
Requirements
-----------
Lifeograph requires the following modules to be built:
* gtkmm,
* gconfmm,
* gtkspell, and
* gcrypt.
Installation
------------
Type "make" to build and "make install" to install (all without quotes). No configuration atm.
I tried make, but it doenst really work. So i think i dont have good requirements.
-> how do I install the required modules? -> I've found some in packet manager, but some appear to be librarys.
Just had to re-install after I did some very silly things. Running 9.10 Ubuntu with XBMC-live Have gnome desktop, Firefox with adobe flash plugin. I set up a script called myvpn to run openvpn and this used to work and now it doesn't I did

I'm planning on writing a BASH script for my website's server that will process data from user input via HTML forms, and then write data to the website's HTML documents. My question regards how to deal with the possibility that two users send form information very close to the same time, thus having the BASH script being called again while the first instance of the script has not yet finished.
I don't even know what happens in general when a BASH script is called while it is still running. Even if that is ok, and a new, separate script process is started (or whatever really happens), how am I supposed to prevent issues that could come from two different instances of the script trying to write to the same file at the same time? Is there a way to force the BASH script to finish its work before launching again, in the event of multiple requests?
