Ubuntu :: Karmic Goes Muck-jumping Into Septic Tank - Error 0 And 6
Feb 22, 2010Been using Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 for a few months- but now it has a mind of its own. About a week ago, Firefox would crash for no apparent reason. Then it became an increasing event. Today, after using the machine normally for several hours, it started crashing Firefox and Yelp before they loaded completely. It crashed again and again until it finally froze, I had to do a hard reboot and then it would not load properly and then crash. I checked the event logs and saw some warnings about an ALSA bug and then more as it deteriorated.Now it seems to boot but then when the Ubuntu logo shows up all it does is flash for a few minutes and then the screen goes black and the system freezes. I tried using the recovery disk, but after 1 1/2 hours of black screen it reported HD Error 0 and 6 Bus errors And finally ended with invalid user "Ubuntu"
Then I put in a fresh copy of Karmic and ran it in recovery mode. It didn't recover and from the machine I then tried a live CD and it booted to the black screen and froze And after I tried to do a new install I am getting lines and lines of errors like this [ 1047 .871988] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [27f21194] And about 1000 more similar. I ran a disc integrity check which found errors, I was going to just do a re-install, but when it started it froze and that's whats been happening. I don't know what to do at this poit because All I can think about is the data I will lose if I have to slick the drive AGAIN to get this sucker working.

Networking :: Cannot Use Fish:// Between Two Pc's On Lan?
Feb 18, 2011I have been unable to connect between two boxes. One box is using ethernet cable and the other has a wireless nic. I can ping from the box with the wireless card to the wired box, but not the other way around. Using fish:// either way times out. Ssh and vnc services are open in the firewalls. There is no encryption for wireless being used. The wireless card is an imicro wireless pci adapter. I load the wireless driver manually after booting the box (./wlan0up,etc.) Both boxes are using opensuse 11.3. I did not have any problem using fish:// until I replaced a failing ethernet nic with the wireless nic. I use dhcp for the lan ip address

Apr 13, 2010I've got a strange problem. I have a number of linux boxes - main running Gentoo, a couple of others running Mint and a new one running Kubuntu 9.10.All, except the new one, connect to my hosted remote server through FTP, FISH or SSH without any problem.However the new machine will connect to my remote server, via fish, but then gets immediately disconnected. I have discovered, via my hosting company, that it is flooding the connection and looking in my Router log I can see:Quote:1. 2010.04.13 03:24:42 **SYN Flood to Host** 10.10.xxx.xxx, 38299->> 209.85.xxx.xxx, 80 (from ATM Outbound)If I connect first through SSH on this machine it is fine and I can navigate through the remote filesystem. If I connect through FISH using either Konqueror or Dolphin, I get an initial file listing and then the remote firewall kicks in and blacklists my IP address for half an hour.Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? Once I'm blacklisted I cannot make any connection, from any machine on my external IP address - whether it is HTTP, FTP, SSH

May 21, 2010I use the friendly interactive shell, or fish, as my default shell. I find it much more user-friendly than bash, but lately (as in for the last 2 months, give or take)dding new entries to .config/fish/fish_history and .config/fish/fish_history.tmp. this means when I press up I don't get the last command I typed, but rather the last command from before the bug occurred. I have no idea why this could be and have tried several tricks but none of them have worked. I have made a bug report on launchpad but I was hoping someone here who knows more about shells would know a workaround.The things that I have tried:removing the files to see if it creates a new onemaking sure I have write access to the filesremoving the files and then using touch to create a blank one

Jan 18, 2011I got a Rocketfish RF-WEB2C webcam, plugged it into my Dell Inspiron Mini 10, and it worked just fine. Cheese ran it, tinychat ran it, skype ran it, all was good. Today, all I get is a black screen. Tinychat claims that it isn't giving out any signal, though can detect it, and Cheese showed me a black screen, though listed it as the the device it was using. I figure it isn't a lack of drivers, as it worked yesterday, and it really shouldn't have broken yet, as I just opened it yesterday.

Sep 10, 2010This started after my upgrade to 11.3, if I remember correctly. I may have it slightly wrong because I don't drag & drop copy every day, but it's close. Also, it happened to my laptop & desktop both.
I use fish & Krusader to manage some 50-60 servers and it's a dandy app. But now, when I try to copy files to remote servers, I get the following error. I tried it with Konqeror. I tried it with sftp instead of fish. Same results every way.
I've tried searching, but it's not an obvious error message to search for. I'm flummoxed. And sorta frustrated. Linux would be so slick minus these irritating regressions. I had been using WinSCP / Putty, but the Terminal / Krusader I like much better --- except that WinSCP always works.
Here's the screenshot of my error. You can't see it through the blur, but the part that is baffling is that the top line says something like:
this action will overwrite fish://root@server:2222/ with a newer file fish://root@192.168.5.10:2595/.asterisk_history. Notice that the remote server doesn't even HAVE that file on its system.
Selecting Overwriting just freezes Krusader.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Display The Cylinder Distortion With Four Desktops With Different Wallpapers?
Oct 23, 2010I have a 64bit desktop and 64bit laptop. I upgraded both to 10.10 and they both have the same problem with compiz. Even though I selected the cylinder distortion, the rotating desktops will not deform to a cylinder unless I select "Wallpaper" in compiz but when I do that, the cylinder is completely transparent AND objects (like windows or bouncing/squishing icons in AWN appear not to refresh. Like a window will not disappear after closing.
As an aside, I have four different wallpapers selected for the four different desktops, but none of them display when I select "Wallpaper" in compiz, I just get the transparent cylinder.
If I deselect "Wallpaper" in compiz, the problem with the refresh disappears immediately, as does the transparent wallpapers but the cylinder becomes disabled and I am left with a cube with a single wallpaper and no ability to decrease opacity during rotation.
This has happened with both my desktop and laptop. I have tried uninstalling all compiz components in Synaptic Package Manager and adding them back one at a time in case I added some conflicting components but this doesn't seem to help.
I did not change settings in the updates, so I have to assume that the problem has something to do with a bug in Compiz. The two computers have different video cards and the drivers are up to date, so I'm at a loss.
Has anyone else found this problem? Has anyone been able to display the cylinder distortion with four desktops with different wallpapers?
Ubuntu :: Partition On 10.04 LTS - Partitions Not Ending On Cylinder Boundries?
Jan 16, 2011I have installed 10.04 LTS on a few computers lately (stuck at home due to recent surgery and am trying to kill some time) and have been running into some odd issues and cannot figure out what is going on. I am hoping someone can help me out here. The installation appears to work fine every time. The systems also appear to be running without any issues.

Some posts that I've come across indicate no problem while others indicate that it is an issue and needs to be corrected. sda1 is my /boot partition ~ 300MB and then sda2 is a LUKS volume with a LVM VG occupying the rest of the available 500GB hdd. It is my active F 12 system with no dual boot.
1. Is it a problem? 2.Can I just resize sda1 so the end does not overlap sda2? 3. And can I do this while booted from that system or do I need to do it from a LiveCD?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Partition <nn> Does Not End On Cylinder Boundary?
Feb 22, 2011I am preparing a dual boot system. Used gparted to do the partitioning. Unfortunately did not notice that one can choose to align on MB (default) or cyl (probably preferable) Now my setup is running ok but fdisk reports warnings like Partition 4 not on cylinder boundary
Looking up the net I see two conflicting views on this:
1. Forget it -- cylinders are not relevant on today's disks
2. For linux this is ok but windows may clobber the adjacent partition in such a 'non-aligned' partition
The real problem is that parted, gparted, fdisk etc are mutually inconsistent in what kind of partition table is 'good' and I dont know who to believe
Ubuntu :: Error 18 - Selected Cylinder Exceeds Maximum Supported By BIOS?
Dec 12, 2009Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I am running Jaunty Jackalope on a new machine and after a recent update I got the following message when trying to reboot:
Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
After reading some of the info on Grub error 18 I decided to create a separate boot partition, as suggested. However, when trying to use Gparted from the live CD to create some space ahead of /sda1, Gparted would run for a while and then crash. The crash message says:
"e2fsck crashed with SIGSEGV in qsort" So now I am stuck, unable to boot from HDD and unable to create new partitions (the other partitions on the disk work fine with Gparted). Could all of this be due to corrupt /sda1 partition?
General :: GParted Partitioning Options - Align To Cylinder Or To MiB?
Sep 24, 2010For the GParted partitioning options, when creating or changing a partition on a SATA hard drive, which option is best to use; (align to cylinder, or to MiB )? The newest version of GParted I used, and it did default to "align to MiB, which then created 1 MB gaps between some partitions. Is it better to have no gaps, and is this new version safe to use to move and or resize NTFS windows partitions ? Will it include the boot sector when it moves or resizes ntfs ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: New Squeeze Install - Mismatched Fdisk Cylinder Numbers?
Feb 10, 2011I just installed Squeeze on a 4 disk system, each disk set up identically with 4 partitions, with the last partition of each disk used for a raid 5 array. I used the squeeze installer, and chose the 'manual' partition option for this setup.
After installation, fdisk reports the ending cylinder number of each of the 4 disks as one more than the total number of cylinders for the disk. I've never seen this before. In the past when I've used fdisk to manually partition disks, the final cylinder number was always equal to the total number of cylinders.
For example:
Disk /dev/sdd: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000937dd
[Code]...
The disk has 60801 cylinders, and the 'End" cylinder number for /dev/sdd4 is reported as 60802. I would have expected it to be 60801. Is this a bug or problem? It's working OK, but I don't know if it will cause instability in the future.
Installation :: Error 18: Selected Cylinder Exceeds Maximum Supported By BIOS
Mar 29, 2009I just downloaded the Fedora 10 cd yesterday and decided to install it. I had a partition for Fedora on my system before but I'm not really sure what I did to it. It wasn't booting and it has been so long since I messed with it I just decided to reinstall with the latest (I think I was running F9 previously). So I pop in the live CD, run the install, and then reboot into Ubuntu. I modified my menu.lst to include the new vmlinuz and initrd versions, as well as the new UUID of the partition. Now when I reboot and choose Fedora from grub's menu I get this error:
Quote:
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I found this wiki which does a pretty good job describing the problem:
[URL]
However, I'm still unable to get this to work. According to many different sites out there this problem shouldn't exist on newer computers. Well, I just recently put a new motherboard into this box -- it's this one:

According to their BIOS page the first release of this was late November 2008. Yes they have had 2 updates since then but it looks like those only serve to support AM3 CPUs (which I don't have) or update some audio playback issues. I seriously doubt I need to update my BIOS to get this to work.
Here's my fdisk:
Code:
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I can get Slackware 12.1 to boot (though it kernel panics during startup...not sure what I did to make it angry), but grub immediately fails when I attempt to boot Fedora. Here's the entry from menu.lst:
Quote:
titleFedora 10 (on /dev/sdb1)
root(hd1,0)
kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=178bc9f9-76ba-48aa-a588-de978cc1eee1 rhgb quiet
[code]...
I have verified that the vmlinuz and initrd are both correct. I put the UUID in there after running vol_id so I'm sure the entry is solid. I have tried making it "root=/dev/sdb1" which failed with the same error, and I even tried copying the fc10 vmlinuz and initrd files over to my Ubuntu partition (which controls grub) but for some odd reason the cp command takes a really long time and then I eventually get this weird error for initrd:
Quote:
$ sudo cp /media/sdb1/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img .
cp: reading `/media/sdb1/boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img': Input/output error
I got the same error with the dd command too. So I was going to just try and copy the files to my sdb3 partition and then modify the menu.lst entry appropriately but that doesn't seem to be plausible at this point.
I have a motherboard that was just released about 4 months ago, an Athlon X2 6000+ CPU, and 4gigs of RAM. The drives are both SATA 300 drives...it's not like this is some old Pentium Pro and the BIOS just doesn't support large drives...this is a brand new system with a very recent BIOS version.
I have successfully quadruple booted all of these in the past, but that may have been prior to the new motherboard. So that makes me think it could be something related to the motherboard but the thing is so much newer than what I previously had, certainly that can't be the problem...can it? Then I remember that Slackware boots, so if it's truly something about how the BIOS can't access some file beyond a particular section of the disk, then it doesn't make any sense that it can book slackware. Fedora is the first partition, Slackware is the last and is like 200+ GB into the disk.

Hardware :: Lost Partition Table, "does Not End On Cylinder Boundary"?
Mar 13, 2011While trying to get Grub working on my computer, I accidentially overwrote the partition table. Luckily I did a fdisk -l and copied the information before I did anything. The problem is that the first partition "does not end on cylinder boundary" so when I recreated the partition info using fdisk, partition 2 doesn't start in the right place and cannot be read. I have some pretty valuable data on there and I can't afford to lose it. Is there a way to create a partition that doesn't start on a cylinder boundary?
