It looks you've disabled NIS. What does "ypwhich" say? And What
happens if you delete the account and attempt to re-add it? And is /
home perhaps NFS mounted, with root permissions disabled, which would
block "useradd" from creating accounts?

You were absolutely right! There were old drivers and symlinks to them in
/lib32 and /lib32/tls. I manually removed the files and the installation
went without problems. 32 bit support (Google Earth) works fine. Thank you!

Trouble with non-ASCII characters over SSH. Help, please!

* Unruh <ubc.ca>: 

Agreed except ssh might be part of the solution, explained below.
 

There are ssh configuration options for client and server for passing on
environment variables. I was thinking of this earlier having recently
read about it in another discussion but could not clearly recall it at
the time of my reply

Quoting ssh_config(5):

SendEnv
Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent
to the server. Note that environment passing is only supported
for protocol 2, the server must also support it, and the server
must be configured to accept these environment variables. Refer
to AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) for how to configure the server.
Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard
characters '*' and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be
separated by whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv direc-
tives. The default is not to send any environment variables.

Quoting sshd_config(5):

AcceptEnv
Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be
copied into the session's environ(7). See SendEnv in
ssh_config(5) for how to configure the client. Note that envi-
ronment passing is only supported for protocol 2. Variables are
specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters '*'
and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be separated by
whitespace or spread across multiple AcceptEnv directives. Be
warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass
restricted user environments. For this reason, care should be
taken in the use of this directive. The default is not to accept
any environment variables.

Download and burn an iso of the new Ubuntu live CD.
Boot from it and check to see if video, network, sound etc work.
If they do then install it.

The OP would probably raise more of an interest if he had posted it to
gnu.misc.discuss, but then again, the OP uses Google Groups as a User
Agent and multiposts, so I guess that says enough... ;-)

The OP stated they didn't need the data on the mounted directory, so
everyone's mention that they are ed until they copy data is
probably not correct. Anyway, if a forced umount doesn't do the trick,
as others have mentioned, you need to put in a new USB stick and then
umount it. Then restart MySQL.

Can someone help me with permissions please.

What are the permissions on the /home/dave directory itself? Likely
Apache doesn't have permissions to access the main account root
directory. Anyway, consider using SuEXEC CGI wrapper if this is a
system other users have access to run PHP or CGI scripts on. If not,
then it's safer to keep it as the global Apache user like you have it
now. And, no, chmod 0602 will not give permission on a directory, even
if the owner is set to the Apache user. For a file it would work at
600, if it's the right owner (read and write), but directories need to
be higher (700 at least, if it's the same user for read, write and
create access).
