I just registered, activated the account, logged out and back in and edited my profile. Then, I was taken to introduce myself. I wrote a message, clicked on "Preview Post" and it looks OK, so I clicked on "Submit New Thread". I get no errors. It just takes me back to the previous screen, my post is not there and it tells me that the system detects I have never posted anything. Why? I'm hoping this one message will go through.
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: Now I see how much of a newbie I am! A sign was telling me my message was to be checked by a moderator, but it flashed so short, that I couldn't finish reading it until now. There must be a few copies of my introduction pending. Sorry!
Ubuntu 14.10 runs great on my laptop but I think I have dependency problems because EVERY time I install or remove software I get the following error message. However everything seems to run just fine...
"Package operation failed"
"The installation or removal of a software package failed."
...and details shows a massive list of gobbledygook with a lot of:
"insserv: Starting vpnagentd_init depends on rc.local and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!"
I can post the whole message but I'll wait for feedback first.
I have created a new user with "useradd" than changed the password with "passwd" (logged in as an administrator). After that I tried to login as the new user but couldn't. Error message was: "call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation".
I currently use Debian 8.
I checked the home directory and couldn't find a new created folder for the new user (wasn't supposed to be done automatically by useradd?) and I checked the etc/password and there was the new user name inside it though.
What should I do? I really need to have more than one user on this computer...
First time post so I hope it's not too long winded!
I've just installed Centos v7.1 and created an additional user.
First putty session I logged in with root and got the public fingerprint message and clicked Yes to accept.
However I noted when I logged in with the user other I did not get the prompt and my home directory didn't have a .ssh directory.
OK, so I created a .ssh (chmod 700) directory within /etc/skel and created a new user. Logged in with that account and still no prompt, although I do now have a .ssh directory generated.
I've tried deleting the known_hosts files in the root's .ssh directory and restarting the sshd daemon but it's not working.
How do I get it to prompt with original public key again?
Thanks for reading.
Hi Folks,
I am a relative newbie to linux.
I am running Fedora 21 from an external USB Hard Drive and get the following message after Grub has loaded. Any help in resolving this is very much appreciated.

Hello
I installed fedora 18 on an older apple computer (i.e. replaced the operating system with eight cores). To make a long story short, I did a "yum update" which took hours to complete, but when I attempted to restart my system, I now get the Grub boot loader coming up and showing that the fedroa3-11.10-100fc18x86_64 OS is staring up, but then suddenly the screen goes black and I get a weird message:
" radeon 0000:02:0:Invalid Rom content
system[1]:Job multipathd.service/start deleted to bread in g cycle starting with basic./start"
So, I then place on a USB containing the original fedora 18 I installed earlier, but now, I cannot, using the Grub Menu, to locate the usb or the cd option.
I have tried looking at sites on line for help, but so far nothing has worked...
Can someone help me...I am a Newbie.
Thanks
I was copying the contents of a flash drive to a folder. In the middle of it I got an error message:
'Error splicing file: input/output error'
and then it said 'do you want to skip or retry?' And the "all" button was there too. Anyway, I skipped. When I checked the folder, all my data seemed to be there.
Do you think it was?
I mean, what are the implications of the error message and of my "skipping" it?
Next up, when I looked at the contents of my flash drive all the folders and files have a lock icon on them. I can open the files but I can't edit them. And no, the lock switch on my flash drive is not pressed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
When I installed mint today from cd, I had to use the save-mode because of the nvidia card. So I was aware I had to change driver after install.
Right after install I checked these '10 thing to first do after install'.
http://itsfoss.com/things-to-do-afte...mint-16-petra/
I did these
Improve battery life
Change screensaver timing
Install RAR
Then I checked the driver manager to deal with the graphic driver. I tried all 3 in the driver manager, but with each mint crashes with this message right after login.

cinnamon just crashed you are currently running in Fallback Mode
It asks if I want to restart, click 'yes' and it just refreshes the screen with the same message. click 'no' the message goes away but cinnamon does not work.
So I don't know if its crashing because of the driver or because of those things I changed after the install.
I googled some and this issue is all over linux forums, but I can't find a solution anywhere.
If I'm loading down the system, i.e., running transmission while playing a video, periodically network throughput drops, video stops, cpu activity jumps up, then after a few seconds to a minute suddenly cpu activity goes back to normal, networking and video resumes. In addition I have this "important" message in the log viewer:

systemd-udevd
Error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE on device node '/dev/input/event2' (scan code 0xc0183, key code 226): Invalid argument
There are several lines with varying scan and key codes, the rest being the same.
In addition, a couple weeks ago, I had locked myself out of the system, (boot to black screen), due to a failed attempt at installing the latest AMD/ATI proprietary drivers. Thanks to the help of several people on the forum, I was able to get back in, using the native drivers.
Obviously as a newbie to Linux I don't know if any of these things are related.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give me, TIA!!
So, I will post my 'first' question here, being "Why does this forum keep tellling me that I never posted and may ask my first question now, when ideed I alrady posted?"
(Maybe this will count as first post now?)
Hello,
I am trying out a GNU-plus-Linux distribution called "Tails" for the first time. Tails is the distro that provides anonymity for the user by forcing all network traffic to go through the Tor network system. I am testing out Tails version 1.4.
Tails is a live DVD disc. It boots in live mode directly from the DVD and optical drive.
However, once I was booted into the desktop for the first time, it seems to not have been able to automatically find and configure my internet connection.
When I hover the pointer over the twin PC's icon in the system tray at the top right hand corner it says "No network connection".
Then, just to make sure, I opened the "Tor browser" and it gave me an error message that says "The proxy server is refusing connections".
Then to make triple sure, I opened the "Unsafe web browser" and it gave me the error message that says "Error No DNS server was obtained through DHCP or manualy configured in Network Manager".
So as a new user of this distro, I'm not sure on where to go and what to do. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
