Thank you all for your answers.
My problem with Hadoop on Ubuntu is that I cannot make the DataNode
server to work properly (at least this is where I think the error is). I
get an "File jobtracker.info could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead
of 1" error message. All other servers are running fine. I am running
Hadoop in a single (test) machine.
The results for jps and netstats are:
jps
4465 NameNode
4553 DataNode
5105 Jps
4717 JobTracker
4649 SecondaryNameNode
4807 TaskTracker
