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.
View 5 RepliesI have these file systems mounted without the nosuid options set.
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-DEPOT on /depot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-HOME on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/mapper/KusuVolGroup00-VAR on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home1 type ext3 (rw)
Do I set the option in the fstab files or set the files directly.
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.
I'm having difficulty getting a usb device (garmin edge 500) to mount. I believe the behavior is that it mounts the first time after startup but not again.dmesg of failed mount:

I have UBUNTU 9.10 Karmic Koala over Thinkpad R-61i. Whenever i boot my system i have the following message waiting for me,
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
swap: waiting for UUID=00e09251-80bb-43dd-8a11-61e975fa3e09
Press Esc to enter a recovery shell
And once i press esc, my UBUNTU loads properly.
The file /etc/fstab have following content
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
What i need to do repair this. And make my UBUNTU to perform a normal boot.
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?

Everything is working very fine and suddenly bang ubuntu drops to black screen and cursor blinking on top right corner requiring a reboot to get it back to normal and again happens the same at any random time.
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

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Here is my entry in the fstab:
192.168.1.11:/mnt/array1/Our_NAS media/Our40NAS nfs auto,_ne
tdev,rw,hard,users,intr 0 0
Upon reboot, sometimes it would mount automatically and sometimes it would not. I have not discovered any specific pattern. It is very random. Sometimes it would go many reboots without mounting and on the next it would mount it. I tried putting timeo paramter, played with the parameters, but still have the same issue. My laptop is connected to a wireless network. When I do mount -a or if I go to Places everything mounts great. It just simply will not mount all the time automatically upon boot, and after wireless connection is established.
I have several NFS entries in my /etc/fstab file. Each entry generates an error during boot (from /var/log/boot.log):mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for macpro.dpc: Name or service not known mountall: mount /mnt/BaseLines [656] terminated with status 32
This occurs even if I specify an IP address in fstab rather than a host name. I was really surprised by that. The odd thing is that by the time the system is up, not only is DNS working as expected, but the NFS shares are mounted as expected. I'd just ignore it for now, accept that it prevents Apache from starting since some of the server's files live on the NFS shares (this is a development system). It appears that the DNS resolver isn't running when the mounts are attempted and that they are attempted again later, after the resolver is running.
I did an
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade....
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.
Is there a way to access remote mount points that were created within the "Places" dropdown or within Nautilus? I haven't been able to locate a mount point for these.
I know I can create a mount point using fstab that will solve my problem but I was hoping for something using these automount procedures as it's really clean.
I just want a way to access these remote shares via terminal when created within Gnome.
I have been able to plug my iPhone in, and Ubuntu (10.04) has been able to see it immediatly. I was able to browse any pics etc. AND, I had the ability to SSH into it (Places>Connect To Server). In the connect to server dialoge, I clicked on the drop box and had several options including SSH. Now, there's nothing in the dialogue except "Custom Location". So, what happened? My iPhone no longer mounts and I have no SSH option! And I have not updated anything and made changes. I have tried 2 different cables and different USB ports.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a newer kernel to get the open source driver for my ATI card, but am now getting the following error between booting and logging in: Warning: unable to find suitable fs in /proc/mounts. Is it mounted? After doing some research I can see it has something to do with apparmor. My questions are:
1. Can I somehow get rid of this error message? Or rather, is there a solution for this problem?
2. If not, as seems to be the case, is my system safe and secure? Will I face any issues by ignoring this error?
I have a Dell Inspiron mini 10'1". When I close it and reopen it, it almost always freezes. I can't do anything, ctrl alt delete doesn't work, pushing the button doesn't activate it either (I mean Turn on/off button). I have to hold shut down button so it would turn off, I lose everything I was working with, and simply have to start it again. I'm using Windows XP SP3 home edition.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed ubuntu 10 yesterday and I have a real frustrating problem. It shuts down for no reason at all, at first I thought it was because I was not using it (power management or maybe because of the screensaver) so configured it to never put it to sleep or shut down, and disabled the screensaver but it keeps happening. This is actually the second time I'm writing this post, because it suddenly shut down again while I was writing this before submitting it. I used to never have this problem before when I was using windows, so the problem must be something with Ubuntu.
Could it be something with my gfx driver? I tried configuring Fluxbox to use my second screen as an extended desktop but couldn't get it to work except with Gnome. If I do "fglrxinfo" I get a segmentation fault, so I messed that up but I'm okay with that because everything is working like I want it with Gnome. One weird thing I've noticed is that ubuntu once said (when booting) that it couldn't find /dev/null...? Should I just try a reinstall? I'm on a quad core with 2GB ram and an ATI HD 4870 2gb graphics card.
I have come to like Ubuntu so much that I don't want Windows 7 anymore. I don't know if I should keep it because I have Microsoft Office 2010 Enterprise Edition and Adobe Master Collection CS5 as well.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy tomboy always ran very fluently until one day I tried the tomboy-image patch. When I tried to resize a big image in my note, tomboy crashed. This was the first time I experienced tomboy crashed. I felt bothered. As a result, I removed the tomboy-image. Later on, sometimes I clicked on a link to another note or when I clicked on a note and then tomboy crashed. It is not very often but bothered me a lot. Especially after I kill the process, I can't reopen it right away. I have to wait a while. I don't know if it relates to the installation of tomboy-image or not? Since I already remove it, how can it still in effect? Or tomboy normally acts not that fluent when the amount of notes become larger? (I have 6xx notes so far).

Last week I installed Zoneminder so I can have some webcam security and I let it run on Mocord (motion detection record) for 24 hours just to see how it worked and run some tests. After that 24 hours I changed it to Monitor so that it wouldn't record anything and wouldn't fill up my 320 gig drive but even after I did that the webcam LED stayed on. Not sure if this is normal, I guess it is since it is still using the webcam, just not recording. I don't think. 2 nights ago I was using it to watch videos online and it was a little slow but was still good enough.
This morning I unplugged it and brought it downstairs to use it but when I opened the lid the hard drive LED was constant and the mouse was all jumpy. Anything I clicked on took a minute to register and the disk utility that I tried loading 2 days earlier looked like it was still loading. I couldn't click anything because the hard drive was running like crazy. Or processor or whatever that light is. So I held the power button, rebooted and nothing on the menu bar was loaded and the hard drive was going crazy again, still couldn't click on anything.
So I rebooted again and this time it gave me a popup before the desktop loaded:
There is a problem with the configuration server.
(/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/conf-sanity-check-2 extend with status 256)
So I click Close and it boots to a black background with huge icons and there are obviously no drivers loaded. There's now a new error message:
GConf error: Faield to contact configuration server: the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: GetIOR faield: GDBus.Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 received signal 6)
All further errors shown only on terminal. And then it does nothing, all the menus say KDE. Webcam LED is still on though since Zoneminder runs as a service on Apache. It's a dual core Dell Studio 15 laptop with all the newest updates and I have 3 separate partitions on my install: /, /home, SWAP. My / partition has 2 gigs free according to KDE and my /home partition has 124 gigs free.
I just downloaded Backtrack 5 and installed it. Had some problems getting the right driver for my gpu but eventually managed to install the right one. At first I thought the problem could be because I didn't have the right gpu driver but its still there. My backtrack freezes when I do anything,for instance I open firefox and browse the internet I can't open command promp or even close firefox with the close butten (alt-F4 does work). I can do 1 thing but then it just freezes and I can only do the thing I was doing. I can still browse but can't do anything else. I have the 64-bit gnome edition.

asus p6t deluxe V2
intel core I7 930 (2.80GHz)
nvidia geforce gtx 470

Since I installed Ubuntu 11.04 I noticed that my laptop heats up for no reason and the battery life has become shorter, then when I searched for this problem I've found that it's a bug and most probably it's in the Linux kernel itself, so is there any patches, updates or any news about this problem, do they out there even know it exists or what?

Let's say I have a machine exporting 3 paths via NFS.
Code:
/exports/foo
/exports/bar
/exports/bla
I would like to know if there is a way to determine how many clients have each export mounted at any given time. I don't necessarily need to identify which client has mounted what, just the number.
Code:
/exports/foo is mounted by 3 clients
/exports/bar is mounted by 1 client
/exports/bla is mounted by 0 clients
