Networking woes - quick question

Hi, When I first installed Amahi, everything was fine. Then just recently had a load of trouble with my HDA. Every time I switched it on the other computers on the network couldn't reach the internet. Then, the gnome network manager stopped appearing on bootup. Not sure what caused the problems, any...

Re: Login loop

At least part of the problem was that the disk was full because I need to upgrade the storage on the server and the back up utility I am using had overfilled the disk. I just removed booted the machine to level 3 and then deleted a backup or two. Now it loads and starts X no problem. Haven't checked...

Re: Login loop

OK... possibly found the source of the problems. It seems that my disk, sda1, is totally full. When I tried "umount /dev/sda1" I got "errpr writing /etc/mtab.tmp: No space left on device. So it looks like the disk I have in this old machine has somehow got totally full up. How can I r...

Re: Login loop

ok. looks like you have some corruption on your hands. Great. :cry: Just what I need. if it's repeatable, it may be hardware (hard to tell what) - or disk corruption perhaps (boot to initlevel 1 and check the disk - use fsck). I booted to initlevel 1 and ran fsck but it gave me a warning that runni...

Re: Login loop

OK will try that.

Incidentally, booting up to this point takes a long time. The details show that MySQL, smb, nmb, Avahi daemon all fail to load.

bin/bash/ line 1. 5674 aborted

Re: Login loop

Thanks.

I'll try that, but is there anyway that I can bring the CLI prompt up easily? Otherwise I have to wait for 5 minutes or more for it to appear...then it disappears again before I have had chance to type anything.

Login loop

Hi, I've been on holiday for a week and just come back and fired up my Amahi server. I don't usually turn it off so this is probably the first time in weeks I have booted it. Obviously I haven't done anything to it while away but suddenly I have a problem. I would explain it but it is perfectly desc...
