Mar 11, 2010
I just loaded ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. Toshiba it loaded fine. So I ran update on the system and it updated to teh 9.20 kernel (dont remember act numbers)
But now it wont reboot.
I get udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is inconfigured udev settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured svgalib: Cannot open /dev/mem Gave up waiting for root device.
Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait long enought for device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/e1768deb-95e0-44bd-96b0-b725c73d42af does not exist. Dropping to a shell
Busy box v.1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built in shell (ash)
Enter help for a list of built-in commands (initranfs)
Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic.
It had kernel 2.6.31-14-generic
I was able to boot back into the old kernel.. so whats happening? why wont the upgraded kernel work?

Ok I have used dropbox for a long time but never had an issue but since recently switching to Ubuntu it seems that when I download a file and drag it into my dropbox the file shows in dropbox but it doesn't seem to be applying ...after dragging it into dropbox in the upper right hand corner of the file there is a blue circle with two white arrows in it while all existing files that I out into dropbox prior to using Ubuntu are there and accessible and have a green checkmark in the upper right hand corner..

So I just recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx over my old XP system and I have been loving it so far. I did run into a problem though. Shortly after installing Ubuntu, it prompted me to install updates and I did so. After the updates had installed, my computer restarted and the whole desktop theme/look changed to a older looking version of Ubuntu. I really liked the look of Lucid Lynx and have been trying to get it back.

I'm using ubuntu 10.10. I heard about BFS kernel patch, that this patch has great improvement for desktop systems.
Now, I have this question: Do developers of linux kernel(kernel.org) apply these kinds of patches to kernel source for next releases? if no, how can I apply this patch to my ubuntu kernel?

I noticed that after applying updates to my ubuntu 10.4 desktop my printer was not working. I discovered that cups was no longer running and I was unable to get it to start. After re-installing cups using the below command everything is now working. This is the 2nd time I've had to re-install cups after patching.
Quote:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups
This appears to be a critical bug: #554172

After applying an update about two or three days ago, I restarted my system and now I'm getting a black screen at login. I can hear the brief drum sound clip that plays when the login dialog box pops up, but the screen is completely black and I can't see anything. I'm still able to access low graphics mode via the fail-safe option in the recovery mode menu. So far I've tried the following commands in the terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-

I installed Iced tea to run java stuff today from Software Center. The Iced tea installed and works like it should but i get a error message when applying changes is at 90%. The same error comes with deletes and other downloads too.
Here is the message:
Code:
InstallArchives() failed: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

I recently installed mplayer I compiled from svn, and now Ubuntu's package manager is showing security patches. If I install these patches, will it mess up the version I compiled and installed?

It's starting to feel like Ubuntu 9.10 users have been left out in the cold, or at least forced to fend for themselves. I'm referring to the publicly-known vulnerabilities present in Firefox 3.5.9 (the version currently in use by Ubuntu 9.10). Ubuntu 10.04 (which uses Firefox 3.6.x instead of 3.5.x) users received their package updates June 29th, yet Ubuntu 9.10 seems to have been placed on the back burner. So basically, my questions are: Does anyone know what's going on? What's taking so long? Has security support for Firefox been terminated for Ubuntu 9.10?
PS: I can sort of understand how Ubuntu isn't able to provide Firefox patches for Ubuntu 9.04, as it uses Firefox 3.0.x (which isn't supported upstream anymore) and the distro release is so close to EOL. But, surely Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't need to be treated the same way, given that the 3.5.x branch it uses is still supported upstream and the distro release won't reach EOL until Q2 2011.

I've a problem applying a patch in RHEL 3.3.
In RHEL there is a problema with ACL as can be read in: [URL]
I've downloaded the patch from "Attachments". I try to apply the patch, but I receive this error:
usr/src # patch -p0 < aclPatch.txt can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -uNr acl-2.2.3.org/libacl/acl_get_file.c acl-2.2.3/libacl/acl_get_file.c
|--- acl-2.2.3.org/libacl/acl_get_file.c 2002-09-05 08:19:54.000000000 +0900
|+++ acl-2.2.3/libacl/acl_get_file.c 2004-08-25 12:49:58.000000000 +0900
--------------------------
File to patch:
========================================================
It seem that can't find acl_get_file.c, no?
- Where can I download the src file?
- Or what's the problem?

I tried applying an emerald theme yesterday, and when I did, it somehow affected the login screen, now it looks old and crappy like win98. I tried disabling emerald and even uninstalling it, but the login screen remains crappy, how do I get it back to the way it was?

After applying some updates to F11, I was unable to login. After putting the username and password in, the dialog would go away and it would appear that the window manager was trying to load. Somewhere in the process the mouse and keyboard stops responding. The HD activity lights flashes for quite a while but later goes out.
Hoping that F12 would help, I upgraded. The upgrade went well but the problem still exists.

I updated yesterday. Main change was from kde 4.5 to 4.6. Since then when I start kmail I have always a message about the certificate not applying to the given host. I use kmail to connect to a dovecot imap server. Everything worked fine before. I know very little about certificates. I tried to generate again the certificates (running /usr/share/doc/packages/dovecot/mkcert.sh) but I don't know what else to do.

I have built a database driven web application that has a user and group system that works in a similiar way that Linux handles user access. Breif explanation: A users can access various resources, the resources are assigned to a single group and users can have many groups.
Users
Code:
id name
-- -------
1 RedRanger
2 GreenRanger
3 BlueRanger
[code]....
Lets say that RedRanger needs to be denied access to resource a if I remove him from group 33 he can no longer access b or c which is no good. The only alternative is to change a's group and add everyone else to the new group, this isn't so bad for 3 users, but what about 3,000?

I'm developing some apps on my Ubuntu 10 box. Firefox appears to be applying its own theme to the web page (ex the form inputs are slightly rounded). I need to view this as a browser typically would as the users of the app will be on various hosts. The default theme appears to be uninstall-able and appears to be called Tango.

Is there a way to reset the yum database so that it can go and re-apply the patches that have already been installed?
I have a Fedora 12 with the latest patches, and I managed to screw up some files or delete some files to the point where all I have now is the Fedora splash screen when I reboot.
I can get to single-user mode, and the thinking is that if I can get yum to ignore the latest patches that are already installed and pull down and re-install the latest patches, then whatever files that are corrupt or missing will be put back.

I am currently following the instructions from the Linux From Scratch book and have made it to the downloading of the patches.There are links to all of the needed patches but when you click them, instead of downloading a file like I expected, it takes you to an html page displaying (I'm guessing) some sort of programming or scripting language. Link to the page with the all the patch download links. From there instead of downloading the file it displays its contents.
- www
- (period)linuxfromscratch
- (period)org
- /lfs/view/stable/chapter03/patches
- (period)html
(had to break it up because the forum won't allow me to post links yet ) My question is: What do I need to do with this text? Do I copy and paste it into a text file? Are there certain extensions that I need to append to the text files?

I need to build a new kernel. I was directed toI tried following the instructions but I think I may have ended up with way more than I wanted. After just over 3 hours the build exhausted the 5.2GB I had available and fell over. The .config file used was nearly twice the size of the one I supplied. Why was it changed?I don't need an rpm.Are the patches supplied with the 2.6.38 sources required or nice to have?

Tried out the latest Fedora 13 release for kicks, and seem to be liking it so far I'm an openSUSE user and created some RPMs (on openSUSE) for myself which have the Ubuntu font rendering patches in them. I played around with the Fedora RPMs and managed to patch freetype-freeworld, cairo, fontconfig and Xfto achieve subpixel hinting on par with Ubuntu I wanted to share them with the Fedora community, if interested. Is there any place like an openSUSE Build Service for Fedora where I can host them...or maybe some community site that can host them? A screenshot of my desktop:
