Fedora Installation :: Black Screen Displays After NVidia Splashscreen

Well, I just got back from the Pepsi Center after watching the Denver Nuggets NBA basketball team look silly against the Dallas Mavericks. 4.5 hours later and I still have a black screen. Was it Einstein who said, "it is insanity to do the same thing, the same way, over and over and expect a different result"? I feel I will been testing that hypothesis soon.

Jun 11, 2010Ubuntu hangs on splash screen when shutting down and restarting after creating startup scrip.
I created the upstart script using the following method:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/local.autostart "Edit local.autostart"
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/local.autostart And sudo update-rc.d local.autostart defaults 80. After this ubuntu hangs on the splash screen during shut down. If I remove the script by doing: sudo update-rc.d -f local.autostart remove
Then ubuntu can restart once again.
Ubuntu :: Changing Gdm Login Splashscreen
Oct 12, 2010I don't like the username/password default screen, but i like the ones in /usr/share/backgrounds. I've been trying to change it for few hours. None of the advices on The Net work. I tried:
1) gconf-editor and /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image gconf-editor /schemas/apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image I set it to picture file path, or splash/filename.png or even copied the desired picture to /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ubuntu-splash.png - no changes
2) gdmsetup has no such option for me
3) also installed startupmanager - nothing as well.
Ubuntu :: Splashscreen Will Not Move/change So Cannot Use/see The DTE
Jul 22, 2011I upgraded last night from 10.10 to 11.04. Things went well, download was quick, install was fine. I then tried to login, laptop accepted the password, splash screen appeared (jpeg file type); I had downloaded this quite a while ago;and I get the standard icons for KDE, but the laptop now freezes on the last icon, and stays there. The laptop makes the KDE login sounds/theme, but I cannot see the desktop.
I tried to login with out the desktop, which I can do, but I do not know where I have to go to remove the splash screen.
OpenSUSE Install :: 1.3 Splashscreen Won't Accept Password?
Jan 3, 2011I'm running 64-bit 11.3 on a Dell 1535 laptop.At lunch today, the system booted-up as normal, then shut-down as normal. A handful of updates were installedduring that time.This evening, however, I arrive at the password splash screen, enter my password, and then the system churns a few seconds before resetting the splash screen. No error message, no "wrong password," just a normal splash screen. I tried going into Xen, the default 11.3 and failsafe -- same thing happened with each. When I navigated to the command line, my password worked fine, both for user and super-user.

Mar 2, 2011I am trying to get Debian 6 to work on an hp Z400 - the problem is that it came with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 graphics card; there may be a driver for Linux, but it doesn't matter, because GRUB insists on switching to some sort of graphics mode and the screen just blanks and switches itself off. Is there any way to make sure during installation that GRUB gets configured to stay in character mode only?

May 10, 2013I have downloaded the Wheezy DVD 1 and started the istallation process. The installation time is strangely very short in respect to the Squeeze release, anyway
The GRUB installation step fails. I terminated the installation without a bootloader and rebooted from DVD with the rescue boot option.
Now I asked for a console to try to manually install the bootloader but the following command:
# grub-install /dev/sda1
[where sda1 is my root partition]
gets the following message:
/bin/sh: grub-install: not found
What can I do?
Debian Installation :: Grub Installation To NVMe Device
Nov 4, 2015I'm attempting to install Debian to an NVMe SSD (Samsung 950 Pro), however both Jessie and Stretch images fail to install grub.
Checking the syslog reveals the following error:
grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /dev/nvme0n1p5
Further Information:
Fast-boot is disabled in the UEFI, and boot mode is set to UEFI only, no CSM. I do not see any option for 'Secure Boot' if it's relevant to the issue.Windows 10 has already been installed, which created several partitions. The ESP/EFI partition appears to be on nvme0n1p2I only created one partition for Debian - / on nvme0n1p5, no separate partitions for /boot, /home etc.
Debian Installation :: Getting Two Grub Menus
Sep 27, 2014I have just upgraded my Xen system from squeeze to wheezy. Things seem to have worked except for one very important problem: I'm getting two grub menus. I get one white-on-blue that comes up first. It says GNU GRUB version 1.99-27+deb7u2 at the top. (It defaults to the wrong image... but that is an issue to address later.) I choose "Xen 4.1-amd64".Then I get a second grub menu that is white on black: GNU GRUB version 1.99-27+deb7u2 at the top. I have two options "Debian GNU Linux with Xen 4.4-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64" and the other "Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.04-amd64 (recovery m->"
This is reminiscent of the cascade option from upgrading from legacy grub to grub2... but both menus say 1.99-27... so I don't know what the heck is going on here. I have tried running upgrade-from-grub-legacy and grub-install and grub-updater etc. etc... but it always comes up the same. I cannot have that. This is a server, I need it to boot to the appropriate kernel image -- and preferably with only one grub menu!Here are the grub-related packages I have installed:
Code: Select all# aptitude search grub
i grub - GRand Unified Bootloader (dummy package)
p grub-choose-default - Control Grub Default through a GUI
i A grub-common - GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
p grub-coreboot - GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (Coreboot versi
p grub-coreboot-bin - GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (Coreboot binar
p grub-disk - GRUB bootable disk image (dummy package)

Debian Installation :: Grub Won't Install
Feb 1, 2015I have an amd64 system and am attempting to install 7.8. I have two 4TB hard drives, and would like them in this configuration:
[*]md0: RAID-1 root
[*]md1: RAID-1 data filesystem (which will be about 3.9TB)
The drives have GPT.The debian installer worked fine until it was time to install grub, and then it said grub could not be installed (fatal error).I'm wondering if I need to create a small /boot partition (non-RAID)? Other than swap, the physical partitions supporting md0 and md1 are the only ones I created. fdisk shows the typical 1MB partition I see on GPT disks, though I'm not all that GPT-savvy.
Debian Installation :: Always Install Grub In MBR?
Jan 25, 2010I was wondering if a lot of people advise to install Grub in the MBR but that means the last distro installed will control the booting and that distro's grub will become the bootloader? I am finding it really difficult and complicated if you don't want that situation and want to control which distro's grub does the booting. Grub2 works differently than Grub Legacy but if you use Grub Legacy and the menu.lst, I never know what entry to use when you are adding them. I have some idea but when I edit a grub entry for another distro, it never boots properly because the content I have there isn't correct.

Debian Installation :: Grub Can't Install To SDA
Apr 18, 2011I am trying to install Debian onto my ASUS Eee PC 1015PE from a USB flash drive. The problem I am having is that the primary HD is detected as the USB flash drive. I have to set it up this way so that it will launch the installer. Everything works great until I get to the part where it is installing Grub. It wants to install to /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb. I don't see any place to change this. Once I install and remove the flash drive it will be sda.

Debian Installation :: How To Get UUID For Root In Grub CFG
Mar 15, 2015I am running Wheezy as my main OS in the first drive in my desktop. I use the 2nd drive for data. I am trying to add another OS to multiboot. When I ran grub-update in Wheezy, I am getting device letter for the root device instead of UUID in grub.cfg, in the os-prober section. Like this
Code: Select allsearch --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 6ee49a8e-a619-49c7-9f66-51a5ca9a48cc
linux /boot/vmlinuz-316-x86_64 root=/dev/sdb3
initrd /boot/initramfs-316-x86_64.img
In the same file, UUID was used for the existing kernels.
Code: Select alllinux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae root=UUID=c2eecf02-d427-4f2e-9fd0-9db61256cbac ro quiet
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae
How can I get UUID instead of /dev/sdb3 for the 2nd OS?
Debian Installation :: Blinking Cursor After GRUB
Apr 21, 2015I'm thinking about switching to Debian from Ubuntu, so I installed Debian (debian-7.8.0-amd64-DVD-1) in dual boot with my Ubuntu 14.10 (Uefi install). Installation process was OK (I think), I got a working GRUB that recognizes both OS, but Debian boots to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner (Ubuntu boots perfectly). I also ran into some graphics-related problems while installing/booting Ubuntu, due to my AMD GPU graphics, that I solved adding the nomodeset option to the kernel in GRUB, but that no longer seems to do the trick here. Here's some info about my machine:

Debian Installation :: GRUB Won't Start On Macbook 2.1
Apr 29, 2015I did an install of Jessie on a Macbook 2,1 to be the machine's only operating system, but it won't boot, showing only a black screen with a blinking cursor. I think the problem is caused by a mistake I made during the installation process, where I selected yes for the prompt:This machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there may be existing operating systems already installed using "BIOS compatibility mode". If you continue to install Debian in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to reboot the machine into any BIOS-mode operating systems later.
If you wish to install in UEFI mode and don't care about keeping the ability to boot one of the existing systems, you have the option to force that here. If you wish to keep the option to boot an existing operating system, you should choose NOT to force UEFI installation here. Force UEFI installation?

View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: GRUB After Installing 8.2 Over Ubuntu
Mar 20, 2016I had a dual boot with windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04, and I just decided to move from Ubuntu to Debian, but I didn't unistall Ubuntu. I just deleted it's partitions (/, /home, swap) and used the new allocatable space. When I was doing the partitions I noticed that the installer didn't allow me to choose between logical and primary partitions (not sure if this is important).
When I continued with the installation process, in the GRUB section the installer detected two Windows Vista options and later I selected /dev/sda as the disk for the GRUB (MBR). When I tried to boot, a GRUB command line screen from ubuntu appeared, when I wrote exit a message appeared "Boot succesfull" and then it sent me to the Boot selection from my laptop.
From there I can choose to boot Windows 10 normally or select a disk partition that sends me to the Debian GRUB from where I can boot Debian normally, but the Windows entries that appear (Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 recovery mode) fail to boot. So when I boot the Debian GRUB appears.

Debian Installation :: GRUB In Boot Partition?
Jun 19, 2012I am new to Debian but have some basic experience with Linux and am currently trying to triple boot Windows 7, Fedora 16, and Debian on an HP Pavilion dv7. I have the Windows Boot Loader on my MBR because I've heard that Windows updates can cause boot issues if GRUB is installed there. This means that I've been installing GRUB in the /boot partition for each Linux distro and creating corresponding entries in the Windows boot menu.
This has worked in the past with both Fedora and Ubuntu, but I have not been able to work around it with Debian. When I choose my Debian option in the Windows boot loader, it loads GRUB but hangs after it prints "Welcome to GRUB!", and I have to restart the computer. I would like to hear what more experienced Linux users have to say both about why this isn't working for Debian and about if keeping the WIndows boot loader is the right way to go.
Also, here is my partition layout:
Partition 1: SYSTEM (HP pre-installed) (209 MB)
Partition 2: Windows Partition (472 GB)
Partition 3: Extended (160 GB)
1: /boot for Fedora (524 MB)
2: Physical Volume for other Fedora partitions (79 GB)
3: /boot for Debian (749 MB)
4: Physical Volume for other Debian partitions (80 GB)
118 GB free space
Partition 4: HP_TOOLS (HP pre-installed) (108 MB)
