Ubuntu :: Wrong With The Update Servers?
Aug 21, 2010The download speed in the last two days is very slow like 50/60/70kb when my download speed can reach 500kb.

View 2 RepliesIt just happened for the second time some minutes ago (first time was yesterday): the update-manager window reported that 7MB needed to be download, but after clicking Install Updates 17.3MB was downloaded...It's a know issue in 10.10?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just updated my server from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and now it cannot go past grub, at boot time, it would "give up waiting for root device", asking me to check whether I gave the right "root=..." or if I should increase the "rootdelay=..." in the command line argument and end up with the initramfs.
The machine is a Dell Poweredge 2900 with a HW RAID controller (I hope that should not matter, but just in case...). I tried to follow the instructions there to make sure grub is setup correctly, but without any luck.
Below is the output from the bootinfoscript (while running on the LiveCD). Anybody has any idea what can be the problem or what I could do to debug this ? I am running out of ideas.

my problem happened sinces a long time ago. Basically Firefox, when I try to download plugin from Google or from mozilla website or when I check my IP, the servers think that my Firefox is a 3.0.0 and Window XP.I use Ubuntu 10.04 and the Firefox version 3.16.15 - Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0. I attached to this a pic of what I get from the website

On a new machine running Ubuntu 10.04.2, the freshclam program (in clamav-freshclam version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2) won't do updates to the database. It fails on DNS queries. DNS works OK for other programs. The tcpdump command shows that it sends the queries to 127.0.0.1 instead of the correct DNS servers specified by /etc/resolv.conf. Of course it doesn't get an answer because it is asking the wrong IP address.
There is also a --no-dns option, but that didn't help/
Do I need to tell ot what the DNS servers are, somewhere?
Why would it query only 127.0.0.1 for DNS?
I wrote/cobbled-together this nifty sendmail script to read some logs and take some disk stats. basically i'm reporting on rsnapshot. When I run it as
Code:
sudo /etc/rsnapshot/mailSta.sh
Everything works wonderful and the emails arrive as expected and fires off an email to two accounts at a remote server
I was running 8.something on my ubuntu server. Today I decided to upgrade releases! So I started it, all via ssh cos the box is about 800 miles away and it was going just fine. However - I went away from the pc for about a hour, and my ssh session died. On reconnect it starts a new ssh session - and I dont know how to reconnect to the upgrade process and finish it off.

I updated from 11.1 to 11.2. Before some intelligent person says, I should never update but do a new install: a new install isn't better, then I have other problems to tackle. And I really would like updates to work.Well, I have the following problems and I hope you don't mind me listing them all in one post *it's difficult for me to type on this keyboard layout):1. home isn't found or set up. I have modified fstab to mount /dev/sda6, which is home, but it won't mount it at startup, and also not when it's just using the disk/by-id line that had been put in.
2. the keyboard layout is american, while the system language is set to German (I'm German and would like also my keyboard to know that). I had no chance to change that, even a loadkeys de-latin1 doesn't help3. OpenOffice drives me crazy. It just doesn't start properly, or at all. It doesn't open a number of documents, but it doesn't also give any error message. Sometimes soffice.bin is in the list of processes, but OOo is nowhere seen. After killing the process (or terminating it), I can start it, but have only the opening screen and cannot really open a document.4. printing doesn't seem to work, either.Needless to say that everything worked fine before the update
I am struggling to get dspam to work properly.
I have follow the instructions [URL] to the letter but when I send spam/ham to the ham@mydomain.net address I see a problem in the logs.
The problem appears to be that when dspam filters the mail it stores the digests in:
/var/spool/dspam/data/mydomain.net/<user>
But when it tries to find the digests to add them to the spam/ham database it looks in:
/var/spool/dspam/data/local/<user>
But I can not find anywhere in the config that controls this.
As I followed the instructions on the ubuntu forums I can not be the first person to see this problem.

I have some WD20EARS drives that I am trying to format into a pair of Linux software RAID1 devices. The problem is that at seemingly random steps during the process, the operating system decides the disk is a size much smaller than it actually is (2 TB, or as reported by the OS when it is acting normal, 1.82 TB). I follow this general layout of steps: first, I do fdisk -u /dev/sd[x], create a primary partition spanning the whole disk starting from sector 64 (to align the advanced format blocks properly). I set the partition type to fd (software RAID autodetect). Then, I assemble the arrays with mdadm:
Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md[z] --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[x]1 dev/sd[y]1
And then I create an ext4 filesystem:
Code:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/md[z]
For reasons I can't understand, fdisk, parted, and gparted (basically, everything) decides at any random point in that process that my disks are not 1.82 TB, but instead something like 172 GB or 500 GB. Once that happens, nothing I do to try to get my disks back seems to work. I've tried using expert mode in fdisk to manually reset the number of cylinders to the correct amount, but this hasn't worked either. Nothing short of reinstalling the system seems to work (but when I boot the installer, it seems to recognize the correct size of the disks).
I've a physical machine with FC9 running vmware server 1.0.6 with 2 virtual machines. Each virtual machine is also running FC9. Everything was running smoothly until one day, one virtual machine stop. I've checked /var/log/messages of that machine and it says:
Code:
"no space left on device"
.
I try to create a file
Code:
touch dd
and the answer is the same.
The odd thing about all this is that the machine (both virtual and physical) have enough space left. This is the space available reported by df -h. Physical machine
Code:
[root@halwifi hotspot]# df -h

set up incremental backups with crontab. I just discovered that tar is not actually incrementing the tar files. I first created the tar files, then in crontab I have:
Code:
cd /; tar -cpf --incremental --exclude-from=/root/ExcludeFromTar.txt mnt/PATRIOT/bkp/home.tar home
I only just discovered that this creates a file whose filename is "/--incremental". I also tried using tar's -G switch instead of --incremental:

We have Ubuntu 8.04 running on our mail server and remote smtp connection does not work.

Target F12 mysql - 5.1.42-2
Source FC 5 mysql - 5.0.27-1
I've put SElinux into permissive mode as it was practically denying anything that moved. Both installed from the standard repos. I used mysql-administrator to create a backup of the FC5 server (all databases/tables) and transferred it to the new system. I restored it onto that machine and double checked that my standard admin user (full privs) was present and let me log in to make changes. All good so far.
So I copied over my files from my sites, point a browser at them and I get nothing, not even errors. Now it's a long while since I set the original up and have probably forgotten something simple but despite making the error output more verbose I can't seem to track anything down other than:
[Code]....
So it suggests my tables are invalid/trashed but I can't seem to figure out why. The original server is still running happily so I'm not in any rush to fix this, I'll keep plodding, Phpinfo reveals a normal operational php setup, so i think that side of the sites is functional. Apache test pages work on blank virtual hosts but viewing my sites reveals the favicon working fine but otherwise comepletely blank pages (zero output, even source). I tried running the page as a raw CLI input to the php package using php index.php and php returned nothing, logged nothing unusual but sat with my CPU at 100%, unsure if that is related.
I have Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit installed. Update manager tells me there are updates available, but when i try to install them, downloading the updates fail and throws this error:
Code:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-i386_2.10.1-0ubuntu16_amd64.deb
Consequently, a similar error occurs when I try installing Sun Java 6 Runtime.
Code:
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
Ubuntu Restricted Extras stalls when it's time to download the Java package I tried synaptic, update manager, aptitude, apt-get, and they all throw similar errors. Then I also tried connecting to different servers, to no avail. So to check if it's my connection to the net that has problems somehow, I tried downloading the file directly through my web browser, and it works. (But it's not recommended, and it won't let me!, install the updates manually, right?) I tried searching for the errors on the net and in the forums, and they're all somehow related to proxy servers. I then checked if I'm using some inappropriate proxy settings, and everywhere it's all set up to connect to the net directly, which is, well, my setup.
Take note though, that I am able to install other softwares normally, i.e, using synaptic, apt-get etc. The ones I tried include Pidgin and Mplayer. It's just these updates and Java:
Code:
jeanne@jeanne-desktop:~$ sudo sudo aptitude upgrade
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was running 10.04 LTS and had decided to stick to the LTS versions as I'm now running my machine as a server and don't want to be updating regularly.Every time I logged in via SSH I got a message telling me there where packages to update including a security update. So I did a search to find out how to perform an update on Ubuntu server from the command line.What I found was to do this:sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get dist-upgradeAfter doing that I rebooted but now my machine gives me this message:
init: ureadahead-other main process (794) terminated with status 4Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some timePress C to cancel all checks currently inprogressI'm not pressing C yet and leaving it alone to finish, but I noticed when the machine booted that one of the options for booting talked about Ubuntu 10.10, so I'm worried that I've updated from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 by accident?
I've install F10 to use it as server and router and found a strange problem on my XP machine which is behind the F10. I've tried to update my Lineage2 client from official server but the update crash, tried to open the web page it didn't open. Also tried to open microsoft web it didn't open. When i try to open the same pages on PC with F10 they open with no problem.

Problem with my Internet connection. I can't connect to the update servers. I don't know why. It's a brand new installation, not a week old yet. I can't install the support for restricted media for example. The servers won't refresh in YaST. It tells me it can't download the repomd.xml.asc.
The other problem is that some servers on the web won't load for me either.
For example, I get most of my local news from The Toronto Star, and I can't connect to it's website at all.
I can from Windows (I dual boot) but not SUSE. I don't think its a problem limited to that one website either. I am able to connect to most websites though.
This is the result of zypper repos -d
Code:
I'm updating a newly installed openSUSE 11.2 64bit and in the process the checksum of a delta package called "yast2-ncurses" fails. The rest of the update went without warning.Reading through the forums I found that I should check the installation media and I did - the dvd contains no errors. The list of repositories is the default one with the dvd turned off.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a ubuntu server 9.10 installed with exim4 as MTA. I configured a mail address on it (let's say me@example.com). Before i had it working i had a other email configured (let's say me_2@example.com). At the time i had this one it didn't work i removed exim4.
Now i can successfully send mails with it by the configured me@example.com. I also configured the password for this, but when i receive the mail the old configured mail is presented as "from" (so from: me_2@example.com).
Anyone knows how this can be changed so it says the mail is from me@example.com? The mail is not an alias, and in a mail client they work separately.

Today i made an update using Webmin, and after that php stopped working, instead of running the files it launches a download. So i checked what was going on, and php module was disabled in apache config. When trying to enable it, it said the file "/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so" did not exist, and indeed it disapeared. I tried to reinstal php and apache (with and without --purge, through apt) and it didn't solved the problem.
Also i tried copying the file from another machine, also without success (this time it shows " Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP.") Dont know what to do now, im kinda desperated here because this machine hosts my website =P
Does anyone know the ubuntu update servers IP addresses. I am trying to fine tune my firewall rules and was unsure of what ip addresses to use for the update servers. I believe they are us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com. However, I could be wrong.
