Ubuntu :: Routing Protocol File Not Available But The Installation Is Successful
Jan 22, 2010
I had installed ns-2.33 on ubuntu 9.04 using synaptic package manager. Now i need to edit routing protocol file in the Ns 2 folder. Wheni search for that file its not available but the installation is successfull.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit on my laptop and successfully completed the installation. However, I attempted to install the recommended updates but have been unsuccessful. The updates downloaded just fine, but when I attempt to install the downloaded updates, I get a package operation failed with the following text: installArchives() failed: Extracting templates from packages: 10% Extracting templates from packages: 21% Extracting templates from packages: 32% Extracting templates from packages: 43% Extracting templates from packages: 54% Extracting templates from packages: 65% Extracting templates from packages: 76% Extracting templates from packages: 87% Extracting templates from packages: 98% Extracting templates from packages: 100% Preconfiguring packages.
I have a small home/office network, which currently consists of a very old mac running osx10.4, a windoze 7 laptop and an ubuntu 10.04/windoze vista laptop, along with a homebrew setup on a wii which understands smb. I'm in the process of setting up an additional ubuntu PC which will, among other things act as a file and web server, mainly for web development and for sharing files, music and videos.
Up until now I've just run everything on SMB, and I will have to set samba up on the new server, but I would prefer to use a different protocol for the ubuntu and mac systems, as SMB doesn't recognise/create file permissions properly and it takes a while sometimes to notice new files in folders it's recently looked in.
I installed ubuntu on my v13 (SU7300 model, not the ubuntu model) using unetbootin.Installation was successful, but when I restart, the boot loader only gives me the option of starting Windows.I can still use unetbootin until I start windows and uninstall it. After that, if I restart, the only OS option to boot from is Windows.
NOTE: I installed 9.10 using frugal more (no cd, no usb, but rather live from hard drive.)
Problem: Ubuntu freezes up 30 seconds or so after a successful login.
Background:I am running a Compaq Presario SR5030NX. It has had issues for a while with running Ubuntu properly. My computer suffers from this bug. I have managed to get the LiveCD running by adding the following to my boot parameters:
Code: vga=792 i915.modeset=0 When I was running the LiveCD I found that it would freeze after about 30 seconds. I solved this problem by again changing the boot options. This time I:Press F6 Check noapic, nolapic, and pci=noacpi
I then proceeded to install Ubuntu.
My problem arose when Ubuntu did not modify grub.cfg to match the setting I needed in order to boot. I managed to modify in some of the settings correctly, I believe at least, but not all of them.
In its current state Ubuntu is able to boot, but freezes 30 seconds or so after a successful login. If I do not graphically login, I do still have access to VTY1-6. The machine does not freeze until a successful graphical login has been made.
Below is the relevant section of my grub.cfg:
Code: menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi set quiet=1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,2) code....
On another note: The liveCD I have been running for 6 months is BackTrack 3 Final. Which does not have this issue at all. I would wager a guess that BackTrack 4 does though as it is based off Ubuntu instead of Slax.
I am unable to recollect a successful installation on it. I do remember trying to install. I also see a strange & small 4GB partition which Windows shows to be 3GB full with Windows itself occupying about 1GB. Although, on PC boot-up, no dual-boot option appears.Can I assume a dormant Ubuntu installation on this partition?
Last week, something I did blew away my Windows boot partition and, until Dell shipped me the installation disk (why didn't they send it with the machine? That's another issue.) I was forced to work from the Ubuntu live disk. After using
I ran 'sudo apt-get install python', which completed successfully. According to [url, this should have created the directory /usr/lib/python2.6, but I do not see any such directory.
This is causing problems:
I've tried 'apt-get purge python' and then reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.
I upgraded one of my Squeeze installations to Wheezy, but after selecting it in grub, nothing is displayed on screen: no CLI and no GUI. I tried Ctrl + Alt + F[1-7] and I got nothing. My laptop is Acer Aspire 7715Z. I am attributing this to module as there seems to be disk activity, but without a screen, I cannot be certain.
I hit some trouble upgrading from FC 10 to FC 12 using the netinst CD. I had previously successfully upgraded the system from FC5 to FC10 with the same method - that time everything went well. At first the upgrade went well - the installation program found my FC installation and detected the partitions right. The problem appeared when about 90% of the rpm's were installed. Anaconda was complaining about a fatal error with a package and quit.
After rebooting and restarting the installation program it does not recognize my partitions anymore and suggests I'd format them for a fresh installation. As all my data is there I'd rather not do that. I then rebooted again and chose "Repair" from the installation menu. I got to the console and noticed that all partitions mounted cleanly and all the data seems to be there. Trying to reboot from the hard disk almost works. The system gets up, goes through grub, gets the kernel running and mounts the disks but fails to launch Xorg.
I get to a terminal login from here by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2. When I type the user name and press enter the terminal seems to crash - does not ask for the password but simply returns to the user name query. An error message flashes just after pressing enter but too quickly for me to read. When I boot from CD again and go to the terminal via the "Repair" option the previous events can be seen from /var/log/messages. Xorg tries to start and stops trying after a certain amount of failures. After that it says this:
Code:
init: prefdm main process (2123) terminated with status 1 init: prefdm main process ended, respawning init: prefdm respawning too fast,stopped
[code]....
My best guess is that this happens because the upgrade was aborted before it completed and hence some necessary rpm's were left out. I figured I could possibly fix this by updating the packages with yum from the terminal if I got to log in. What should I do now? Could I for example try and manually copy some missing files to the disk as I can access it via the repair option?
I don't understand why after a successful installation of RHEL 5.3 in my PC (dual-boot with Windows XP x64), the hard disk just reads continously and my monitor.just went blackout. This happens (3x) everytime I setup it for the first time, re:detection of hardware,network, creation of a new user, etc. Although my GRUB is working perfectly.
I want to transfer file using ftp protocol. I m using following linux distribution.
PHP Code: LSB Version::core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: OracleVMserver Description: Oracle VM server release 2.2.0 Release: 2.2.0 Codename: n/a
When I run PHP Code: [root@OFSMUW-VS-51 ~]# service ftp status output is ftp: unrecognized service
How would I install FTP? Do I need to install ftp server or client? Where would I get suitable ftp server/client for my distribution. Some rpm related to ftp are already in my machine please find the details
I've recently made an NIS installation which worked out fine until I changed some hostname configurations incorrectly and found myself in a big mess. I decided to simply start from scratch seeing as how the entire installation process takes but minutes, however, when trying to run ypinit to run the Makefile I found that /var/lib/ypinit is no longer there. So far I've tried removing the ypserv, ypbind, and yp-tools rpm packages and re-intalling them via yum.
I'm running Red Hat Linux 4.5 in VMWare Server (virtual machine) on Windows XP (host machine). I'm using a loopback adapter to assign an IP address of 192.168.1.100 to the VM.How would I set up file protocol to access the VM's filesystem? Is it possible?
I'm trying to decide on how to host and serve files to multiple operating systems (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows 7) over the internet. I'd like this to be secure (obviously), but don't want to use SSH tunnelling.Ideally, this would be something which could be persistently mounted on the client machine (a network drive in Windows, likewise in Mac OS X and Linux) and wouldn't require the installation of extra software on the clients. I thought about samba, but I'm not sure if it's secure enough to be internet-facing. Would FTP fit?resumably it's possible to have encrypted connections only and limit connections to a specified number of client IPs.
System is hanging during boot after a successful fresh install via netinstall disk. Never makes it to any GUI or prompt. However, it does still respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL (not completely frozen).Default debian installation with one exception - KDE checkbox was checked for installation. Everything else was default, with "use full disk with GRUB" option chosen.The boot process appears to hang during the service starts. It appears that the start job for "Create Static De..." is not actually ever completing. I don't know how to troubleshoot that any further than I have.
This is running on hardware, it is not a virtual machine. 480GB SSD, i7, 16GB of RAM, AMD R9 390 (I dunno if this is the problem, but it seems a likely culprit).There are no other disks attached. I have verified successful memtest completions (0 failures) and hard disk is intact and working fine (I have swapped for another disk, and the same thing happens as well).
My skill level with Linux is relatively low. I have proficiency using it and programming for it, but not much in the way of troubleshooting/ installation/ drivers.
Here is an album of "screenshots" (phone photos) of the boot sequence in debug: URL....I tried booting straight to console by removing "quiet" from boot options and changing to "text", but it does not alter the outcome in any discernible way.
I installed Debian Jessie (netinst, daily snapshot) on my Acer Aspire V5-123 laptop in the UEFI mode with the secure boot turned off. everything (network, hardware, partitioning, ...) went smoothly to the last step, but after removing the boot media (USB stick) and rebooting, the firmware could not find the boot device ! The only thing I can think of, is that the EFI boot is not set up properly by Debian installer, but I don't know how to fix it.
I installed Debian Squeeze-testing weekly build today, with CD1 alone. It took 1 Hour 38 minutes to install and configure on my Pentium 4 2.7 Ghz , 1GB ram HP machine. I have some trouble with the installation. Sometimes the desktop just freezes while moving Icons, or opening Xterm. I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, OR Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys. I have to physically reboot. Why doesn't Ctrl-Alt-Backspace work on GNOME? Is there a IRC chat for Debian Help and what applications does one use on GNOME for IRC chat?
All routing settings made with the ip tool (route command) are lost when the redhat server reboots.How to save routing information to a configuration file?
"The playback of this movie requires a SMB protocol source plugin which is not installed." I get this error when I try to play a movie from a samba share. This is a fresh install of Fedora 10 KDE. I installed all the necessary codecs using the rpmfusion repo. Movies play fine if I transfer them to my computer.
i'm still relatively new in using linux and is quite enjoying using fedora, however, upon restarting my computer I get this message on almost anything related to browsing my files..."The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly."the programs i'm talking about include dolphin, amarok, ktorrent and ksnapshot (well those are the ones i've checked, i thing there are more apps having this problem...)sample screenshot: the weird thing is, when i do "kdesu dolphin" for example, the problem doesn't occur.sample screenshot:My desktop folder is also experiencing the same problem.
do have installed glib and dbus and can find them manually , /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h , but while comipling applicaiton it gives following error messages.
/usr/include/libosso.h:32:18: error: glib.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/libosso.h:38:23: error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/libosso.h:39:32: error: dbus/dbus-protocol.h: No such file or directory
Well successful in that it told me so.However, after okaying a restart, and the disc being ejected I am now looking at a frozen screen (there was more than one but they went by so fast I don't know how many) filled with the like of:[ 1095.nnnnnn] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector nnnnnnthe last of the first nnnnnn's is 865443, and of the other 505072, this being consistently repeated 3 times.The machine is an Acer Aspire, supposedly dual boot with Win 7.
I recently purchased a Dell Vostro v130 which came with Win 7 pre-loaded. I've been using it for a few weeks with no problems, but now I'd like to install ubuntu studio. I made it through the the partitioning part but now I'm getting a networking error: "Network autoconfiguration failed. Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively, the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly."
I've been using the wireless connection in win 7 without any problem so I don't know why I'm having a problem now.
I am trying to run VirtualBox on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, and when I make a virtual machine it says it is successful. However when I try to run the machine I get this error box. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix this? I've deleted the virtual machine and made a new one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled virtualbox but nothing I've tried works.
