Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Hangs On Boot - Stopping Userspace Bootsplash
I was facing trouble getting my second monitor to even get detected (GeForce GTX 260) so out of desperation i apt-get'd nvidia-glx-179 drivers, I then used Jockey to enable that driver.
Since then, whenever Ubuntu tries to boot, it kills itself. And this is the process:
I power up the tower, the screen goes that nice brown shade as I wait for the graphical ubuntu logo to show me its loading, when it eventually does it very quickly cuts into a full screen not-really-interactive terminal window that shows the boot hanging at random spots in the boot process. Theres no clear pattern. At the time of writing, it hangs on "setting sensors limits" after "Starting AppArmor Profiles".
Im going to restart again, This time it hung up at "Checking battery state..." im going to restart again, Hung up at "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned" Ill restart again, Hung up at "Stopping userspace bootsplash"
As much fun as this is, I have a website to develop and this is seriously setting me back. All i wanted was to display the site on my second monitor so i didnt have to swap window depths in rapid succession. This is.. more trouble than it seems to be worth... How do i NOT lose my data?
Its worth noting that all the lines say "OK" next to them, not one mentions a fail of any sort.
When i Ctrl+C to break out, it doesnt, just gives me ^C

Ubuntu :: Boot Hangs On "Stopping Save Kernel Messages" Or "stopping System V Runlevel Compatib?
Boot of a new minimal system hangs on "Stopping save kernel messages" or "stopping system v runlevel compatibility". I have ubuntu minimal iso x86_64 from usb stick created with unetbootin (don't have a cd drive on the machine in question), and after that I didsudo aptitude install gnome-terminal network-manager-gnome gdm geditsudo rebootnever got a system back. Annoyingly I can't boot into the recovery mode either, and it seems the keyboard is only semi-responsive (i.e. many dead keys when at the grub menu).qualms about reinstalling, but I've done this a few times and ended up at the same place every time.

Ubuntu :: Improve Boot Time And Bootsplash
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and although I had some problems initially, everything works fine now. I'm just bragging about that. I do have some strange "issues" with my boot. I know that Ubuntu is supposed to boot with only plymouth visible, but before I see plymouth I have a fairly long period of time when I see nothing but a console cursor (a.k.a. caret) blinking. I'm no expert in reading bootchart charts, so I'm attaching it for some feedback. I have no idea how and what to optimize. My boot is ~40 secs as noted on the bootchart, but it would be nice to cut some fat if possible. Also, my StartUp-Manager is displaying some veeery long boot options. It doesn't look nice. I guess he's reading /boot/grub/grub.cfg but I don't think I'm supposed to see all that. my boot and shutdown screens are very low res and very ugly, often flickering on updates. I have 10.04 setup at work as a web test platform on a very old/crappy PC (Intel GFX) and bootsplash looks much nicer than on my home laptop.

OpenSUSE :: Stopping The Screen Saver And Stopping The Screen Locking?
In December I finally filled up my root partition and broke Suse 11.1. I therefore resized my partitions and installed Suse 11.3 on /root. I didn't not touch my /home partition. I notice that when I leave my machine and come back the screen has locked. I have tried to turn off the screensaver, but it hasn't worked. I have Googled, but unfortunately the screen shots don't look like what I have and the instructions to stop this do not seem to match what I am seeing on the screen. Is there a way to do this via the command line?

Networking :: Userspace Ethernet Packet Queue
I am a windows programmer. There I wrote a firewall and VPN System. It was easy. Simply, I USED WINPKFilter by ntkernel.com.What I need is to GET, Edit, and Send the raw Layer 2 packet before reaching to IP Stack.My friends were saying that linux is Ideal for Networking purposes. But for now I say that Linux is very bad in this field and I should say that windows is much better (I beg your pardon)After tens of hours for searching I got nothing good. The hook system of IPtables is not GOOD for me because it has not Ethernet header and also the packets are defragmented when I caught them. I tried ebtables but it has no user space queue like IPTABLES. What I exactly need is to be able to reach to the chain of raw Ethernet packets and be able to modify them and resend or inject some ethernet packet packet. I Dont Want to go inside the KERNEL. (As windows I want a userspcae library). Dear linux expert I beg your help. Do not let me turn back to windows.

Programming :: Calling Kernel Functions From Userspace?
I'm trying to call some kernel functions from userspace, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. The functions control a pulse width modulator on an embedded platform. To pick one at random, the function: Code: struct pwm_device *pwm_request(int pwm_id, const char *label); is defined in linux/pwm.h, and the implementation uses the macro EXPORT_SYMBOL(pwm_request), so I should be able to call this from user-space... right? Anyway, I've got linux/pwm.h to #include in my source so the compiler knows what it's doing, but what do I link against? The only place in by kernel build tree where I can see a symbol pwm_request defined is in object files like vmlinux.o, built-in.o in the directory, etc. which I don't think I should be linking against.

Ubuntu :: Boot Stucks At "stopping System V Run Level Compatibility"
Using one of my Ubu machines (11.04) while his machine is away at rehab. That machine has been running fine, but today he was removing his Android phone and his USB connected NTFS external (both using Safely Remove) and...Phone safely removed Drive gave an error (couldn't remove probably the device busy error) Reboot. Now it won't boot past that point ("stopping system v run level compatibility").

Ubuntu :: Boot Hangs (sometimes) After Dual Boot Screen?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and a small Windows 7 partition (cuz I can't get Ubuntu to run my MSI TV@nywhere plus card but that's another issue).I can log into Windows fine. If I choose Ubuntu, however, the boot process will go thru a few screen flickers. Then one of two things happens:1) I get a scrambled up pixelated image (not sure what it is) for about 3 second, then it goes into the login screen and I can log in normally.2) I get the scrambled up pixelated image and it hangs. This happens about 4 times out of 5 when rebooting. I do have an nVidia card and a beta driver (they published it the 21st, I believe, of this month) but this happened long before that. It's happened ever since I installed any of the drivers (I've tried a couple different versions, hoping to fix this) for my card. My system is a frankenputer: Phenom II quad core 3.0 cpu nVidia GeForce BFG 6600 4G DDR3 500G drive Note: I do have 3D rendering when I finally get into the desktop. Everything works great, except that when I'm playing my mmorpg, Regnum Online, it freezes the entire computer and I have to reboot (not sure if that has anything to do with it or not).In case it's needed, this is my grub:(Second note: I'm sorry for the length of the post but I don't know how to upload documents/files to show) # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### [code]...

OpenSUSE Hardware :: GRUB To Dual Boot 11.2 And Windows XP But Hangs On Boot
HW config is: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition, MSI 785GTM-E45, 2X 1Gb Kingston HyperX PC2-8500. I have set up GRUB to dualboot openSUSE 11.2 and WindowsXP. Initially i had set up system with defaults: CPU@2600MHz (200X13) and therefore RAM@800MHz. Both openSUSE 11.2 and WindowsXP worked just fine. Memtest86 found no problems. But after a while i decided to change this setup to: CPU@2500MHz (250X10) and therefore RAM@1000MHz, as it promised better overall performance. And now Windows still boots and works better then before. Memtest86 still can't find any problem. But openSUSE 11.2 hangs at boot. I've suspected cpufreq governor, but changing from Ondemand to Conservative in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq doesn't help.

Software :: No Bootsplash In Ubuntu 10.04?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04. But I don't have a 'bootsplash'/start up screen like this: [URL]... All I have is a blank screen. How do I fix it? Shouldn't it just be there by default? Do I need to install anything extra, like usplash or something? Also exactly what Google apps are available for Linux/Ubuntu now? I read somewhere Google Desktop Search was available. This would rock, as having tried Beagle in the past and not having been all that impressed with it (it lacked the feel of real OS level integration and always just seemed to run like a separate app.), I would be hopeful that Google Desktop search would work a bit better. Has anyone tied it? What's your view? Now that Mac and Windows both have advanced Desktop search integration, it seems that search (or specifically pre-built-in integrated search) is one area where Gnome is still seriously lacking.

Programming :: Mount Userspace Directory As "/dev" Block Device For USB Gadget API?
On my embedded ARM platform I try to set up an USB "device" which contains the file/folder structure of an UPnP Server. A USB host (e.g. the Windows PC) should be able to view the contents of the UPnP Server. To accomplish this I tried the following: - I successfully use FUSE+DJMount to mount an Upnp-Server to a userspace directory (/tmp/upnp). - I successfully load the Kernel Module "g_file_storage.ko" with e.g. "file=/dev/sda1" to set up a USB device (with die filesystem of a USB stick, connected to the ARM dev. board). BUT: When I try to load the Kernel Module "g_file_storage.ko" with my userspace directory "file=/tmp/upnp" it comes to the following error message: insmod: cannot insert '../g_file_storage.ko': Is a directory (-1): Is a directory modprobe: failed to load module g_file_storage In the documentation of the Kernelmodule g_file_storage it says that only block devices or single files (partitions) can be loaded. So this explains why modprobe fails! Now I'm looking for a way to either mount my "tmp/upnp" directory to a /dev/xyz device or to configure the Kernel module "g_file_storage" to support userspace directories... Or, can my FUSE file system be found in the /dev tree?

Software :: Bootsplash Not Working
I just compiled a bootsplash-patched kernel 2.6.21. Everything seems to be working fine, except the bootsplash When I boot up, nothing special happens. The console font is unusually large, but I boot into KDE with no problems, and no bootsplash. What could I have done wrong?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 LTS Hangs On Boot?
I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS. Now when booting it hangs and drops me to a initramfs shell. This is a scsi machine with 3 drives. The error I get before dropping to the shell is that the drive with the uuid in menu.lst does not exist.If I type "exit" at initramfs, it finishes booting in a couple of seconds. The uuid is correct and maybe this is a timeout error of some kind. This is a machine that I would want to reboot without having to walk over and type "exit" at the initramfs prompt.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Hangs On Boot
I installed Maverick Meerkat today, and it was working great on the first boot (which is when I updated the system...). However, since then, it won't boot up. When I looked at the output during boot, I noticed that it hangs when it gets to: Code: floppy0: no floppy controllers found After that, the hard drive access light on my laptop turns off and it just sits there.

Ubuntu :: 10.4 Hangs On Boot?
I've just had the power cut out while downloading a bunch of updates for Ubuntu 10.4 I haven't updated to the latest release because I'm lazy and have slow internet. Anyway, once power had been restored, I turned my desktop on to find that my install will not actually load. It boots up and goes to the purple 'Ubuntu' screen with the orange dots, and just sits there (for about 15 minutes so far) without any activity on-screen. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 as I said above, and I'd really like to get a solution that does not include 'start from a fresh installation', since I've had to really wrestle with this install to get my wireless adaptor (USB) and wacom tablet working properly.

Ubuntu :: Splashy Killed Kpackagekit And Bootsplash Screen
10.04 - Installing splashy fails and consequently makes kpackagekit completely unuseable. Attempting to fix this with aptitude or 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --install' or 'sudo apt-get -f install' (as suggested elsewhere) brings me no joy either. Is there a fix so I can remove splashy and repair kpackagekit? How do I kill splashy so i can repair kpackagekit?
