It stopped working cause it couldn'tfind /ubuntu/disks/root.disk something like that.I'm right now using Ubuntu, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to mount my sdb5...

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Live Disks Not Working (disk Is Intentionally Plural Not A Typo)

Jan 11, 2011

I like the xfce desktop environment over the gnome one. So when i chose an emergency plan B in case something happens to windows AND/OR arch, i always try Xubuntu. I have made multiple live disks from multiple computers, and none of the live disks function properly. One went haywire when i tried to update the system(can't remember exactly what went wrong), one would not even actually boot into the live disk, one would not install, and so forth and so on. At first i just though it was something wrong with the iso since the download had been paused and resumed multiple times, but right before i chose arch linux a friend tried using his xubuntu disk and it failed to work either, and i recently tried using another computer and had another failed result.

Server :: Debian Root Password Stopped Working

Nov 5, 2010

sometime ago i have setup a nice Debian FTP server. and left the company. everything was working fine for about 5 month, administrator was able to login to root, do changes and manage system, etc. Suddenly he told me that he cannot login via PUTTY, the root user and pass say Access Denied.Looked all over the web for at least a REASON, but did not find anything. I suggested to go and do passwd reset, via runLevel 1. i hope this helps him. But i am still curious why all of the sudden, in a locked down room, where only one person has access root get disabled.

OpenSUSE Network :: NetworkManager Stopped Working After Encrypting The Disk ?

Jul 22, 2011

I managed to kill KNetworkManager today and I'm not sure what I did. This is a netbook running openSUSE 11.4 with all updates applied and KDE 3.5 (from the openSUSE repository). Normally, I use knetworkmanager to connect to the Internet. Everything was working fine this morning and today I decided to apply whole disk encryption (using cryptsetup and luks) to it.

So, I backed up the files, encrypted the partitions, made some adjustments to /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst, and copied the files back. Everything is working fine, except for knetworkmanager. When it goes to connect, it starts off with the "gray Earth" (to represent no connection) and then it switches to the "connecting" icon for a fraction of a second, and then it's back to the "gray Earth". Looking at the output of iwconfig, it hasn't connected to the router at all (the essid is blank).

The connection works fine using ifup. I tried using cnetworkmanager (the console version) and it spits out errors like this:

Slackware :: VirtualBox Stopped Working For Non Root User After Updates

Oct 21, 2010

I haven't used my VB for a few weeks however all of a sudden it refuses to work for my normal non-root user. It's almost as if it can't find libraries in the /opt/VirtualBox directory. Initially it refused to start completely so I linked the required libs into /usr/lib64 ( yip real hack. Then it started but a vm would not start, and comes up with an error about a missing lib again which is definitely there. My non-root user is in the vb group and nothing besides system updates has changed. vb 3.2.10 slack64-current.

Fedora Networking :: Ethernet Connection Stopped Working - Cannot Find Server

Jul 23, 2009

After using fedora 11 for a month or two now the ethernet gave out on me tonight. However if I switch to my ubuntu or windows XP install it runs fine. I made no recent changes to network connections, and no installed programs that should effect it.

kernel version: 2.6.29.6-213.fc11
default connection: eth0(and only connection)
ifcfg-eth0:
# Networking Interface
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:1F:C6:DB:05:0C
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
NAME=eth0
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
DNS1=192.168.1.254
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes

I have tried, restarting, older kernel, restarting services, and clearing the DNS Cache. The specific error I get is that "Firefox can't find the server", and most other applications return similar. I can however ping websites still. All other computers on the network are running fine, and booting into another system the internet will work. Just not for fedora.

Ubuntu :: Resize Entire /root (root.disk) Virtual Disk Space?

Jan 25, 2011

I'm running out of space in wubi. Online wubi help didn't help much since they suggest creating extra virtual disk space(similar to having a diffrent partition i guess) .None of them speak about increasing the size of /root disk space(or root.disk). I store all files in space shared with windows or external disk and use ubuntu only to install and use softwares and browsing. So how do increase the available space for installing more softwares?

Debian :: Root Access And Desktop Disabled \ Couldn't Open The Root Terminal?

Feb 19, 2011

I was using the latest stable release of Debian, dual-booted alongside Windows Vista, with the GNOME desktop, installed via netinst, trying to build and install a library that I knew and trusted, when suddenly I couldn't open the Root Terminal. I clicked the link (in Applications->Accessories (I think, whatever the top one is)->Root Terminal), and in the taskbar I saw an item that said "Starting Root Terminal". A few seconds later, that went away, but the terminal still wasn't open. I tried the regular user terminal, to see the same thing happen. Unsure of what was happening, I tried restarting my computer, since that's always the first step you should take in computer problems.

When I restarted, GNOME wouldn't start. The screen would flash a bit for a few seconds, then a dialog box would appear over a background of static that said "The greeter application is crashing. Attempting another one...".t would then go back to the DOS-style kernel, wait a second, and then the same thing would happen. After several of that, I would get a blue screen which said something to the effect of "It has been detected that the desktop environment has crashed six times in the past 30 seconds.

Waiting two minutes before trying again." When it did that, I tried logging in as root to assess the problem. I gave it the correct password, but it said that it was an incorrect login. After several tries (to ensure I didn't mistype the password), I logged in as myself. Same problem. I tried the su command, with the correct password, and it said it couldn't authorise it.

After a lengthy conversation with a friend of mine who was very good with computers, he basically summarised that he had no clue, but that his best guess would be a virus. Upon running the Linux installer, I found the Repair option. Not being particularly familiar with Linux, I used it simply to backup my important files onto a flash drive. I then tried running the Install option, in an attempt to simply write over my existing Linux and make it new again. The installer, however, consistently froze up when trying to start the partitioner, on the "Checking disks..." stage. I figured it was a problem with my partition. In my naivete, I simply used the Windows tools to clear that partition... It destroyed GRUB too, so I couldn't run any OS. I figured my computer was pretty well screwed, and at that point just decided to bring it into the shop and have them completely wipe it.

my computer was backed up onto an external hard driven I brought it back, I reinstalled Windows. Upon restart, it said that it was still looking for GRUB, which made no sense to me. After messing around with it a bit, I decided to just reinstall Linux too. To my lack of surprise, that fixed the problem. Both OS' now ran just fine. The first thing I did on Debian was to install the Clam Anti-Virus, which I understood to be one of the best Linux anti-viruses. However, within about 10 hours, got the same problem as originally. I wasn't doing any of the same things, and between the lack of consistency in activities and the fact that I had an anti-virus running,figured it wasn't a virus. Not knowing what to do, I just left it and have been using Windows since.

CentOS 5 Server :: SFTP Login For "root" Stopped Working?

Apr 9, 2011

I've been administrating a dedicated Linux CentOS 5 (Linux 2.6.26.5-rootserver-20080917a) server for around 2 years, and although not a network or Linux expert, been learning to configure as need arises. Primarily using Plesk for day-to-day, but occasionally using Putty to SSH into server.

For all the time I've had the server, I've been connecting to my server via sFTP using "root" password. ( Although, I know this is really bad practice, I assume made safer by connecting with SSH FTP)

After spending another normal day in the office developing websites, connecting to my server as root using SFTP in Filezilla AND Dreamweaver I left for the night.

Returned next morning, after having done no manual updates or amends to my server; I could no longer SFTP into my server?

Thought it may be related to my office network, so tried it from home over the weekend, same result; can no longer connect SFTP for root?

I can connect to the server via Putty using my "root" username and password.

After spending hours looking on the internet for a solution, I'm lost for ideas as I didn't make any changes?

What happens when I open my Filezilla and try connecting as SFTP is it states:

Error:Connection timed out
Error:Could not connect to server

I checked server log /var/log/secure and it states:

Accepted password for root from UNKNOWN port 49212 ssh2
Apr 9 07:41:41 s15320264 sshd[7122]: fatal: Write failed: Connection reset by peer

Odd part is, it's worked fine for weeks, months without ever failing to connect?

Also, notice that Putty connection seems to take much longer to authenticate root user than it used to?

Checked via Plesk Health Monitoring and all CPU, Memory and Disk Levels are well below any alarm levels.

I have run all Plesk updates to 10.2.0 in the hope that it resolved it, but to no avail.

Ubuntu :: Couldn't Find Instructions Online

Oct 25, 2010

I'm new to linux, have been somewhat of a computer geek my whole life and thought it about time that I delved into the world of linux. So I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer. I love it. However, I can't get my wireless to work. In my dorms there are no ethernet hookups, so I have to use the wireless. I typed "sudo lshw -class network" into the root terminal. The important things that I figured out was the bus info: pci@0000:4:06.0 and the pysical id: 6 (not sure if the physical id is important but it sounds like it is). I then did a lspci and found that at bus 04:06.0 it is a RaLink Device 3060. I downloaded the .tar file for the driver. I could not find instructions for it online so I followed the ones for the rt2860 driver : [URL].... I could not get it to work, It built ok and installed ok, but when I do the modprobe I get an error saying the device or resource is busy. Either that or that it cannot be found. One thing that I found weird was that I couldn't get it to build a 3060 driver, it would only build a 3562 one.

Ubuntu Installation :: E: Couldn't Find Package Libboost-all?

Feb 20, 2011

Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?

Ubuntu :: E: Couldn't Find Package Libnet-ssleay-perl

Mar 3, 2010

I've been scratching my head on this one for a while.My level of knowledge of Linux isn't great. I know enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to get Webmin installed to give me an easier web front to Linux. I run the command to get the prereq's.

So I can see that it can't find libnet-ssleay-perl I bit of searching around leads me to the sources.list file which tells apt-get where to get the packages I think. This is as follows.

Ubuntu :: Nvidia, Unity, Glxinfo Couldn't Find RGB GLX Visual

Apr 5, 2011

Distro: Ubuntu 11.04-beta1 'natty'
Problem: 'your hardware does not support Unity; you will be using Ubuntu Classic.'
Installed: nvidia-common 0.2.28,
nvidia-current 270.30-0ubuntu3,
nvidia-settings 270.29-0ubuntu1,
linux-image-generic-pae 2.6.38.7.21,
linux-headers-generic-pae 2.6.38.8.22

[Code]....

After reading a few other threads on the matter, I suspect the problem is with the 'nvidia-current' package more than the libgl1-mesa-glx or unity packages. ... though it does seem odd that Unity doesn't have a non-OpenGL verison.

If I find a solution, I'll come back. I hope the answer isn't "ditch nvidia-current for the binary install script from nVidia direct." If someone found this thread in a search, the nVidia driver install scripts can be found at [URL]

Ubuntu :: All Disks Spin Up Every 10 Hours / How Do I Find Culprit?

Jul 10, 2011

I'm running 10.10 with about 10 SATA disks attached. If I spin them down with hdparm -Y, every disk that has a filesystem on it (but -not- disks that are partitioned but have no filesystem) spin up, simultaneously, about every 10 hours. How do I find the culprit? The machine is sitting effectively idle---I know it's not something I'm doing that's causing the spinups.Is there some way to monitor -anything- that touches a particular block device?

My suspicion is that this might be the gnome low-disk-space warning daemon statting everything. (This -used- to be gnome-volume-manager, but I'm not sure where that code went when GVM was dropped in 10.10---how do I find that code? What package is it in?)

And if it -is- the disk-space monitor, how do I kill it dead? Not just "don't tell me about disks", but "don't even bother looking". I would -really- like these drives to spin down and -stay- down, possibly for days or weeks, until needed---not spin up every 10 hours until I either manually spin them down or until whatever I've set in hdparm spins them back down.

Fedora :: Mounting Disks Through GUI With Accounts Other Than Root?

Oct 1, 2010

I am trying to give another user the ability to mount any hard disk by using either the Places menu or the Palimpsest disk utility. Currently whenever you try to do either of these, it immediately asks for root password, even though the logged in user has sudo priveliges to mount disks.

I have modified the sudoers file and given them access to STORAGE and other needed commands. The account CAN mount using the mount command in terminal, but I want to allow them GUI use. From my reseach it looks like Fedora is using DeviceKit but I'm not too familiar with how it works. What do I need to allow non-root users to mount disks in the GUI?
