Slackware :: Screwed Up After Hardening Down System?
May 31, 2011So I was following the majority of this guideand sometime last night my computer went awry. First all my icons went blank, and I was unable to open anything. I had to reboot, and upon trying to log back in as a user I got an error /bin/bash: Command not found. I tried removing the user completely and starting from scratch but I am unable to remove the /home/user/.bash_history file. I even tried with root. I'm at a complete loss, confused. I know I did have to chomd 644 the entire /etc directory because I was getting some permission errors there.

Apr 11, 2011I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code:
hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.

CentOS 5 :: How's System V Ids Intialized At System Boot Time
Aug 31, 2009We have 2 applications set as S96 and S98 at rc3.d and rc5.d simultaneously. Both applications create a system V shared memory segment by calling shmget.If the system boot at runlevel 5, both applications can obtain their shared memory segment id correctly, i.e. 98305 and 131074 individually. While there is a root owned segment id 32768 takes first seat on the list. This is the id list:
root, 32768
S96_app, 98305
S98_app, 131074

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Screwed Up After Hooked To Tv
Jun 17, 2010I have a older dell inspiron laptop running xubuntu 9.10. It has run fine for quite a while. I recently hooked it up to my plasma tv to watch some some movies and now it crashes when I try to log in. The process I used to hook it to the TV was: connect VGA cable then boot into the external monitor, then shutdown. I have done this in the past with other laptops and it always went back to normal when I boot without the VGA cord attached.
What happens now is I try to log in then the screen flashes and sends me back to the login screen. One more thing to add, I didn't have to use the login screen prior to this problem, it was set for auto-login.How can I fix this? I can get to the terminal via CTRL + F2 and via SSH.

Oct 19, 2010I plugged in a second monitor to my new Meerkat installation and xorg stopped working.
When I took the monitor away it still wouldn't work, so I tried entering with safe graphics and that wouldn't work.
I uninstalled xorg and reinstalled and ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still no luck.
I have tried reverting the vesa driver but it still won't work. The screen flashes like it's trying but just gives up.
I don't know what to do now except reinstall the partition.
Ubuntu :: Android Debugging All Screwed Up
Dec 3, 2010This hasn't happened to me before, but I develop for the Android platform and (perhaps needless to say) I really need to be able to debug on a real device. On past installs, my device was recognized automatically and debugging was as easy as checking "debug" in the Android's settings, but now (after updating to Maverick from Lucid) the phone registers with adb as?It mentions some necessary tasks for set-up on Ubuntu, but only mentions this process for Dapper/Gutsy/Hardy. Is there any personal experience out there that can confirm that this works and/or is necessary on Maverick?

Sep 1, 2011So I (being an idiot) screwed up my boot process.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Windows Screwed Up LVM
Sep 1, 2011I have 2x 2TB drives for data storage in my system. I placed both drives in a volume group and made 1 big 4TB partition on it. I made it ext4 and mounted it in my Ubuntu Server environment and used it for a while without any problems. Just now I wanted to work a little with Windows 7 and I installed it on a separate hard drive (a 500GB one). This went fine but the (f***ing!) Windows 7 installer automatically made a 100MB system reserved partition on one of the 2TB drives (because the freaking MS OS saw them as unallocated space). That basically scewed up the volume group.
Running vgchange -ay gives an error that device with UUID (..) couln't be found. Running vgchange -ay --partial works and activates my volume group as read only. When I try to mount my logical volume inside that volume group mount gives the error that I need to specify the file system. When I do so with mount -t ext4 it returns the error that it's the wrong file system. Is there a way for me to fully restore my volume group? Or a way to mount what's left of it so that I can backup as much data as possible?
Ubuntu Servers :: System Time Getting Off
Jun 29, 2011Not sure when this started exactly. I just had comcast installed last Thursday, had AT&T before that with about a week and half with no internet in between. Other than that, I haven't changed anything. I noticed on Monday that my system time is off, and it keeps happening. I've never had an issue with this before. I'd run sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org to update, would be fine, and then it would end up being about 8 minutes fast again the next day (CRON was firing off early and I was getting system emails early). System has been up for about a week, so its not happening when rebooting. I just setup cron to do an ntp update every hour. I let it run and here is the output.
[Code]...
One thing I guess, any thoughts on why my system time was getting off track in the first place. And two, any issue with how I setup cron and the log entries from syslog?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: SUSE Screwed Up GRUB
Mar 19, 2010I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and working great. I wanted to check out SUSE because i heard it was better for laptops and wanted to test it out. Went through the install, which was a bit more complicated partition wise than I'd like, asking the begin and end segment shell or something. I changed them to give me a 5GB partition, deleted an old partition of gNewSense (wireless was just too difficult to implement ie. work) and tada... stuff broke. gNewSense still shows up in SUSE's "GRUB" but I can't boot to it. When I threw in my 9.10 cd to fix everything, it showed that 9.10 was still installed and gNewSense was not.
So, how can I fix this. Is there a way to just reinstall the 9.10 GRUB for the Ubuntu I already have installed? The sooner the better, Ubuntu was my primary OS and all my stuff is on it! FYI, do not recommend SUSE as far as installation goes

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Totally Screwed Up Audio And Mounts
Jun 29, 2010I 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.

Ubuntu :: System Crash While Booting Up For Second Time?
Feb 3, 2010System specs:
Compaq presario 430-EB
4 GIG RAM
320 GIG storage
AMD athlon dual core x64 2.1 mghz processor
Nvidia 8200 M
I recently decided to partition my laptop wholly to ubuntu, so i installed ubuntu without any problem, then i logged on for the first time and i installed the driver to my monitor (nvidia) and i did sudo apt-get update which made me get all sorts of updates, untill the updating stopped at about halfway asking me to reboot the system.
I rebooted the system, but no matter what i do, if i run it in recovery mode or not, i always get stuck on this piece of code on a black screen:
Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda1: clean, 148123/18841600 files, 1880615/75358899 blocks
init: udevtrigger main process (540) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (541) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (539) killed by TERM signal
init: networking main process (544) terminated with status 1
Also, please no answers like "hav u tried liek reinstalling ubuntu lolz?" because i wouldn't bother posting this thread if i considered doing that -_-'
