CentOS 5 :: Find Search Initiated At Boot That Takes Several Hours

Dec 18, 2009

I noticed that every, say, 5 times I boot CentOS 5.4, a find search is initiated that takes several hours.
For example:
find . -name rd=rmdir -print
I'm not sure if it's related, but, I do have a "alias rd=rmdir" in my .aliases. Would changing it to "alias rd=/bin/rmdir" avoid this problem? I'm using zsh. Is this search necessary?

CentOS 5 :: Sendmail Takes Too Long To Start During Boot

Dec 28, 2010

It takes a few minutes to start during boot and I just did a fresh install in a virtual machine. Haven't touched sendmail so it has default config. Someone told me it could be a DNS issue, but I can do DNS lookups and navigate the web well.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Songbird Search Takes Ages To Give Result

Jan 6, 2010

I really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution.
I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.

CentOS 5 :: Install CentOS 5.2, And The Installation Ran Out Of Disk Space After Running For About 2 Hours?

Feb 18, 2010

I am trying to install CentOS 5.2, and the installation ran out of disk space after running for about 2 hours.I checked the FAQ, and it said 1.2 GB. The disk is 3 GB. The default install was selected, and I think that it checks for sufficient available disk space before installing. Still, it ran for quite a while before announcing that it was out of disk space.The Installation Guide is not very helpful, since there is a blank page where the disk space requirement is supposed to be. I just picked the default installation. A search of the forums on "not enough disk space" did not return much.

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.

CentOS 5 :: X/Gnome Takes Long Time To Load And Sudo Takes Long Time To Execute

Oct 13, 2009

I am running Centos 5.3. I ran no updates, performed no installs, nor changed any configuration immediately prior to this issue. My problem is this: when I run the command startx (default runlevel 3), it is a long time (5-10 minutes) before Gnome startx, and once it does start applications will not run. Also, when I try to use sudo (from any environment, even ssh), it is a long time (5-10) before the command is executed.

I cannot say for sure, but it seems like this is an intermittent problem. Sometimes X takes a long time to start, but once it starts it will launch programs. Sometimes X takes a long time to launch, but once it starts it will only launch certain programs. Though presently X always takes a long time to start, and I cannot successfully launch any programs.

A while back a had a similar problem to this (x taking long time to start, sudo taking long time to execute) and it ended up being a DNS problem. Unfortunately, I cannot remember exactly what it was and I stupidly did not document it. Maybe this is also DNS related, I don't know.

I don't know what log files to look at for problems with X, Gnome, and sudo taking a long time to start.

CentOS 5 :: Centos 5.2 Installed On /dev/hda3, Won't Boot, Cant Find Grub Stage 2?

Nov 10, 2009

I just upgraded by box from Fedora Core 9 to Centos 5.2. Finally!I have a 500GB SATA drive, it's partitioned into three equal size slices, hda1 through 3. The old Fedora was on hda1, I installed the new Centos on hda3. I instructed the installer to write the MBR to /dev/hda, not /dev/hda3. Fdisk says I have sector 0 unused.First, the system wouldn't boot - it just looped through the BIOS, rebooting over and over again. The BIOS sees the disk, but it never loaded Grub. I tried re-running grub-install /dev/hda, and not I get a Grub Error 17 after stage 1.5 loads.

I can boot from rescue OK, the grub.conf man menu.lst look fine, it's pointing to "root (hd0,2)". It's either the BIOS that can't find the MBR, or the MBR can't find Grub.When I looked at the disk with fdisk after the install, hda1 was still marked bootable, hda3 was not, so I swapped bootable flags but that has not made a difference. I also appended the new grub to the old grub thinking I could get the MBR (if it is there) to load the old grub and thence find the new Centos, but that didn't work either.Mobo is an old Shuttle AK35.Any ideas? Did I mess up by not telling the system to put the MBR on /dev/hda3? Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

CentOS 5 :: Time Display Is 12 Hours Out?

Apr 11, 2009

I have the bar at the top configured to display the time but it is displaying 12 hours out.For example, it's now 16:49 but the time is displaying as 06:49. If I click on Adjust Date & Time it has the correct time in there and it is configured to display 24-hour format and is in the correct time zone. If I switch to 12-hour format it displays 6:49 AM which is clearly incorrect.I can't fix it because it thinks the time is correct when I try to change it.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Loosing Network After Few Hours?

Jul 31, 2010

I have a problem with network on centos, after i restart the server it works for few hours/couple days, and the network is dropped. - no errors in the log, only that "Network is unreachable" I do 'service network restart' comes back on- directadmin, dns, awbs- everything works good, but only for few hours(never longer then couple days), and then it is dropped again. I searched many forums, and on one them someone wrote that it is because that static IP was used on the same network by other machine. I had a different server running with that ip on my network before, but it was few weeks ago, and there is no other server connected to the network right now (I have one desktop connected with dynamic ip, and it has no problem), and i still have the same problem.

I was suggested to set a cron jobs to restart network every few hours- i thing that is not a solution. Does anyone have any idea what could be a problem? Anyone had similar problems? What could be the reasons for the network to be dropped after few hours? Here is latest 'dmesg' output after losing network:

OpenSUSE :: Command (du) To Find Out How Much Space A Directory Takes Up?

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple-Boot / Saying Can't Boot And Takes To A Startup Recovery?

Sep 10, 2010

I have a Computer, It came with Windows 7 64bit on it. I installed Ubuntu through WUBI. I used the Windows Disk Management program to resize my HDD. I shrunk the main drive and created a 20 gig free space. I installed WindowsXP on this 20g space. I had to change from AHCI to ATA. I started my new XP installation. As I should have expected my the screen that let me pick between Windows 7 and Ubuntu was gone, and it just said XP. Well thats cool. I get in XP use bcdeasy and use the install Win7 to mbr. So I restarted. Great I now I have Ubuntu and Win7... but no XP. So i think, okay, ill boot into Ubuntu, use the update grub command and XP will be there, so i do it and restart. No XP, So i try to boot into Win7 and see if i can do something in there.. No luck it says it can't boot and takes me to a startup recovery thing. Which, as Windows recovery things tend to do, doesn't find anything wrong. So I have Ubuntu now, which is great, but I do need Windows.

CentOS 5 :: Where To Find Log Messages Shown During Boot Up?

Jan 26, 2010

I looked in /var/log/messages and also tried dmesg both seem to contain something different than what I saw while booting up. But I am looking for the ones displayed while booting, where it says whether the particular step was ok and if failed it prints few things. I would like to know where I can find those messages.

Software :: Clock Jumps Hours Ahead After Boot

Nov 14, 2010

When I shut down the machine everything is as it should be. Time set from the net, hwclock synced. When I boot again, time is set several hours into the future. This is an additive process, when I don't set the correct time it drifts with every boot even days into the future (until boot is denied, because files are too far in the future). I tried to get rid of that behaviour by doing:

Code:
sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org
hwclock --systohc
I renamed /etc/adjtime which looked like this:

22292.201093 1289670517 0.000000
1289670480
UTC

Now it looks as follows:
0.000000 1289733620 0.000000
1289733620
UTC

To no avail. What could cause that and how can I correct it?

Fedora :: In Dual Boot, Clock Is Diff. By 4 Hours In Windows?

I have Fedora in dual boot with windows on a laptop. I have a weird clock problem. If I get the clock set correctly in Fedora, then it's 4 hours too fast in Windows. When I fix it in Windows and then restart into Fedora, it's 4 hours too slow in Fedora!Why are they competing with each other and how do I get them to both be correct?

Ubuntu Installation :: Clock Is Set Ahead By Five Hours When Boot Into Windows 7

Jul 17, 2010

My computer has two physical hard drives. Up till now, the first hard drive was for Windows XP and Windows 7, the second was used for file storage. I just installed Lucid Lynx on the second drive. The two problems are as follows.

<s>1. When I boot into Windows 7, the clock is set ahead by five hours, even as the time zone remains the same. </s> Terribly sorry. Found the answer in another thread. Should have searched.

2. I have kept the Windows 7 boot loader (choice of 7 or XP) on the first hard drive, and put Ubuntu and grub on the second hard drive. That way, if I want to load Ubuntu, I press F9 for the hp boot menu and select the second hard drive. From there, I would like this to boot straight into Ubuntu. How do I keep the grub boot menu from appearing? Should I just edit grub.cfg, so it has a timeout value of 0?

Server :: CentOS 5.5 64 Bit - Takes Too Much Time During Installation

I am installing CentOS 5.5 64 bit on a HP ProLiant server. The server has a configuration of 2 TB(500x4) HDD and 8 GB RAM. RAID 5 is enabled and mirroring is also going on. I made 7 partitions. Those are:

/boot - 200MB
/ - 80GB
Swap - 20GB
/usr - 100GB

The problem i am facing is it takes too much time to format 100GB partitions while installing packages (during installation).

CentOS 5 Server :: Login Via SSH Takes Over A Minute?

Nov 12, 2010

Just started to encounter this problem recently: after entering a valid password for a given user during an SSH login, it takes at least one minute to get to a prompt. It usually takes only a second to check the password and drop me to a prompt.

I haven't had this problem before - it seems to have started this week. Only thing I've done this week is run updates. Has anyone encountered this problem recently? Any ideas or fixes that may help solve this? Server info: not exposed to the Internet, only running SSH, fully patched version of CentOS 5.5 x86_64.

General :: Find/search Root Partition ONLY?

Jun 11, 2010

Say I need to do: find / -name somefile.txt

And say root partition / is mounted on /dev/sda5; however, let's say I also have 250GB partitions (/dev/sda6, /dev/sda7) mounted in /media - AND another location that I cannot currently remember. Say, also, that I know the file I'm looking for is on /dev/sda5.

Obviously, the above command will also descend in /media and that other directory which represent the big partitions, wasting time in looking for the file in the wrong place.

Is there a way to instruct find (or other command) to search only / on /dev/sda5, and NOT to descend to directories if they are on different partitions ?

Ubuntu :: Grub Cannot Find Partition / Set It To Search?

Jun 27, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a clean hard drive. Everything went well and I ended up giving /home it's own partition. After a while I figured I would dual boot with windows 7 and my mbr got overwritten. Now after this happened I googles how to fix it and found the same answer almost everywhere. It had me go into terminal and run grub an find my partition and setup grub again. All of this was done off a livecd. The only problem was that my livecd didn't have the grub shell installed. Everytime I ran "sudo grub" it would say "sudo: grub: command not found" I tried to install it but it kept giving me errors and I only once actually got into grub, but it could not find my partition. Whenever I typed "find /boot/grub/stage1" it said directory does not exist. So I attempted to fix it my own way. I installed another version of ubuntu along Sid the first. This allowed me to triple boot between the two versions of ubuntu and windows 7. So I booted into my original ubuntu (11.04) and deleted the older version of ubuntu with gparted. I deleted the partition and restarted, but when I restarted I got an error saying that grub could not find the partition. I can boot into my original ubuntu through the ultimate boot cd but it is a round a bout way of doing it. Is there anyway I can set grub to search for ubuntu 11.04 on startup instead of the deleted version of ubuntu?

Software :: Using Find To Only Search Specific Directories?

how the "-prune" option works. I've searched quite a bit on line, and as far as I can tell, "-prune" works exactly the opposite as it says.

I'm using Apt-proxy, and I want to scan through the folders, and find files that end with "*.bz2" The problem is that the search takes a while because of all the "*.deb" files. Fortunately, they're stored in their own folder:

/var/cache/apt-proxy/ubuntu
/var/cache/apt-proxy/ubuntu-security
