mountall and fuser

[ubscott]

hello,

i have been trying to install PEAR so that i can install xdebug. for hours now i've been trying to deal with an error i get when attempting to install PEAR in a terminal. the error is:

Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall

Is there a way to know what process is giving me this error? I've been researching fuser for quite some time trying to solve this.

i've been studying these pages:

this has led me to put this command in a terminal:
fuser -m -v /mypath/myfolder

this shows me a list of about 25 processes with their IDs. I've tried to kill them all, with this command:
sudo fuser -k -v /mypath/myfolder

Doing this closes the RealVNC viewer i'm using to connect to my Linux box. in addition, i'm logged out of Ubuntu.

it seems to me that maybe i can kill whatever processes i need to to remove the conflict with the PEAR installer. However, i have no idea what these are.

does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.

hi,
i have been trying to kill off some process before attempting to run the command to install PEAR:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear

everything i try fails. i have even tried to do these commands without RealVNC, thinking that was the culprit.

does anyone know of a resource to assist with this dreaded error:
E:Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall

This error is a show-stopper. having spent two days trying to get past this, i still don't have an idea how to proceed.

any help appreciated. thanks.
