Linux WARNING: Duplicate VG name server1 LVM2 Error and Solution

in Categories , , last updated May 5, 2013

I recently added SSD to my home server and reloaded the operating system. However, when I try to access my dm-crypt based old disk, I am getting the following error:

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
WARNING: Duplicate VG name server01: Existing bc7YA8-eEXt-1aA1-OHTr-zJkA-ucd0-DsbRTc (created here) takes precedence over RIKiar-w3MG-Gzh5-VFWq-bkRT-9IFc-ia8k87
WARNING: Duplicate VG name server01: Existing bc7YA8-eEXt-1aA1-OHTr-zJkA-ucd0-DsbRTc (created here) takes precedence over RIKiar-w3MG-Gzh5-VFWq-bkRT-9IFc-ia8k87
Found volume group "server01" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "server01" using metadata type lvm2

The problem is my volume group. I set to to server01 on both old and new hard disk. How can I rename old LVM2? How do I access my old hard disk?

gnome-terminal: There Was An Error Creating The Child Process For This Terminal

in Categories , , last updated December 4, 2012

I am using CentOS 5 on my laptop. If I open gnome-terminal by right clicking the desktop, I am getting an error that read as follows:

There was an error creating the child process for this terminal

How do I fix this problem and open a terminal by right clicking the Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / Fedora / RHEL / Red hat Enterprise Linux 5.x desktop system?
