I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP Pavilion p6565uk.
My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.
Install from x64 DVD seems to have gone OK but 1st boot to welcome screen where user is added always hangs.I've done the install multiple times and no joy on any of them.I'm experienced with Fedora and had 10 installed on the same machine with no problem.Hardware is an HP d5000t.Quad core IntelNV graphics adapter8 Gig of memoryVista on a raid 0 by itselfFedora on a 320 Gig WD drive by itselfSuse 11.1 on another 640 Gig WD drive by itself

Install Fedora 12 from livecd on a widescreen monitor:
- Using Nvidia 96xx drivers for my Gforce2 MX
Everything runs fine at this point. Connect old 17" flatscreen and no network: Login freezes for about a minute after username selection, no password prompt, no mouse movement, no keyboard response, after timeout I return to login screen before username selection .. and can repeat this or.. At that point (or before that point) I can ctrl+alt F2 to 'terminal' screen, login works fine.
init 3, login as root
startx
Works fine then, resolution is %^# tho, and cant change it at that point due to errors I get. I'm convinced the problem has nothing to do with my X configuration tbh. Booting from the LiveCD on this configuration works fine. I am tempted to think it has something to do with my GDM, but as my knowledge is limited, I cant figure it out. If I reconnect the widescreen, it all works fine ...
I try to install red hat linux and I connect the PC with serial port. I use hyper terminal as terminal. When the machine boot from DVD/CD, there is no text mode (simply graphic) screen come out. Just a strange/rubbish text come out? I also find it is hang when I install in text mode ..below is the hang screen

I'm a bit of a nube with Linux. Have had it installed and Acer Veriton for a while but after last yum update it now hangs on the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I can login remotely OK but am not sure what to look for. It seems to be something X11 related but I'm not sure. I would post the relevant logs but am not sure which ones are associated with this problem.

Last time I installed the ATI graphics driver on my PC, it was'nt working fine so I uninstalled that driver. I restarted the PC after uninstalling the driver but then, when PC boots and start running the services the screen just hangs and I don't get into the desktop.
I tried to run the xfs service using service xfs restart and also gdm service using service gdm restart, but in both the cases it shows that Unrecognized Service. So, I think it means that the package for xfs and gdm service is not available in my PC. Is that so?
I tried to get into the desktop by running startx but it gave the following error :-
Fatal Server Error: no screen found
consult the fedora project support at [URL] for help.
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server

I have installed Fedora 11 and have been using it for about a 4 months now. Everything has been working just fine until this morning when I booted up the computer and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited about 10 minutes without any change to the system. I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.

But the GMD screen is all out of place and its patchy as if my graphics card was causing some kind of error

I connected HDD (with Fedora OS) to another computer.Fedora gets past GRUB, but hangs before loading the splash screen.Is something wrong with GRUB settings?Previously, I had dual boot at GRUB (Fedora and WindowsXP).
What is the easiest way to get Fedora to boot properly on another system?I need access to those files.
After installing Fedora 15 from LiveUSB and rebooting it just hangs on a black screen with a blinking cursor (underscore) in the top left of the screen. If it's reached grub, it isn't responding to any commands, and mashing several key combinations (such as ctrl-alt-f1) will produce a beep usually emitted only by the BIOS (hinting that it may never be making its way to grub).
The only particularly interesting thing about the install is that by default it wanted to boot itself from the MBR on my primary-master (Windows) disk. Instead I selected the option to boot from "the first partition in sdb1", which is my primary-slave (Linux) disk, (the first partition being /boot). This way I can change which OS boots by changing the boot order in my BIOS, and so avoiding bootloader wars.
After succesfully installing Ubuntu 10.4 x32 and rebooting pc hangs on black screen with a flashing white dot in the top left corner of my screen, i've tried installing it twice with the same results.

on pc start up i choose from which hdd to boot from.
i installed ubuntu on the samsung drive where it was recognised fine, wiped it all and installed automatically.
pls let me know if there is anything i missed, and advice if possible in what to do.

When I am using emacs under GNU Screen, if I call C-x C-s screen hangs and does not respond to any keyboard input.
I can't reproduce this, but at least one time per day I have to kill my screen session and restart it.
I am trying to install rsh packages. I tried below given command. The screen hangs.
Also, I was previously having problem of 'error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000', while trying to install. That seem to have resolved with help of steps given below.
This can be corrected with the following steps:
1. Remove any file locks rm rf /var/lib/rpm/_db*
2. Remove any left over temp files in /var/lib/rmp/ with underscores, either single or double. For example, __db.000 - __db.004. This needs to be completed as root.
3. Make a copy of the RPM directories (cd /var/lib mkdir rpm-backup rsync -av ./rpm/. ./rpm-backup/.)
4. Rebuild the database (rpm rebuilddb). Again, you need to be root.
5. Rerun the rpm removal option.
I have a 10.04 installation that is hanging at the boot splash screen. Any ideas how to start troubleshooting? I checked the filesystem with fsck and all okay. Also ran spinrite to check general condition of hard disk. Okay there too.

Today is monday and I guess it has got monday blues like I get every monday at work.Today I tried to start it as usual but it just refused to go further than login screen. I just can not login. It just hangs it there. I do not know what has gone wrong. I did not change anything since friday and no one else uses it. Theres nothing in logs that could give any idea. It just hangs without any reason and is still on the login screen for ever. It does ask my username and password but then it does not go further.But to my surprise I tried logging in with root and it gave me expected error that system administrator is not allowed to login from gnome.

Also i have downloaded 9.10 64bit ISO, (making sure the md5 was correct)This is what ive tried: - Installing inside windows, cd - Installing inside windows, iso mounted - Installing via cd on boot - Installing via usb on boot- Booting from cd/usb, like testing, and install from that (but got to loading screen..)Ive tried the above with all the Ubuntu's mentioned.Yet all have got to the Loading screens and just stopped.With the USB one, once (it had casper on it?), it had errors such as IO, memory buffers etcSo why doesnt either 32 or 64 bit work on my system, is there something i missed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedClean install on dell d400 laptop, worked fine with 9.10 but 10.04 gets past the stick man then after several minutes with the red/ white buttons a quick flash of colour on the screen and then nothing, just a dead PC.
Have tries alternative F6 and also i915.modeset=1 and 0 but no change. Pre release 10.04 worked fine just a problem with the official release
So I turned off my computer the other day (I leave my laptop on, pretty much 24/7 I only turn it off if I have to, or I forget to plug it in I turned it off this time just because it was feeling warm)...
And when I went to turn it back on, the splash screen was big and ugly looking, then the orange ("loading") dots loaded to the end... but then it just stopped.
My computer wouldn't boot up... so then I used one of the older versions (you know grub lets you select versions before upgrades or whatever)... and the boot splash was the nice small version... and it loaded just fine, but then after the splash screen went away... the monitor just stayed black... same thing with the version before that.
So then I tried recovery mode on the first one (the latest), and when I clicked "boot normally" it took me to shell. However, everything was working fine, I could load up my non-x dependent programs like IRSSI just fine.
I think it has something to do with me installing the ATI proprietary driver (which was stupid of me, Ubuntu was handling my graphics card perfectly without it... and I hate using closed sourced software).
Now I'm trying to run Ubuntu again. The problem started when I put Ubuntu to sleep, but instead it turned the screen black and hung without going into sleep (this is common for me). I had to cut its power, but afterwards it wouldn't boot.
I tried booting off old kernel and "recovery" ones, but that gives me an error and loads "ash" shell, which doesn't let me browse any of my files (no /home director to speak of).
I'm really at a loss. Is my only option to delete everything and reinstall? If I back-up my home directory, can I just copy/paste the contents into it once I install a new Ubuntu and have things more or less in working order?
Ok so I'm still a bit of a Ubuntu n00b and I just installed 10.04 on my new laptop (Asus U35F) and it's working pretty well except for one problem.. Every time the laptop goes to sleep/suspends/hibernates, when I try to resume it again it hangs. So I end up seeing the screen to re-log in and I can usually move my mouse around and start typing my password in and all of that for maybe a second, but after that it just freezes!
Especially since right now Ubuntu is the only operating system I have running, and since I use this in school and need to conserve battery as much as possible so it stays running through 6 hours of class, I really need to get this fixed up soon..
I have a macbook pro 5,3 and recently i've upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 , but after the instalation when I reboot ubuntu hangs on purple screen and no login window appears, what can I do to login into my ubuntu?
I've found a strange thing : when the purple screen appears if I wait for about 5 minutes and then restart my computer the next time a window with some options appears and when i choose "use previous version of linux" it goes into natty! I really don't know what's going on
I have two minor problems with Ubuntu which I've been running on my aging Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook for a couple of years now.
First, I recently upgraded to v10.04 with no problems. However, I've just applied the latest updates via Update Manager and the laptop will now hang after the welcome screen.
There are no error messages, just a black screen and the case fan runs a full tilt until I force a shutdown. I've waited 5 or so minutes to see if it's actually doing anything but it would appear that it isn't.
The only way to boot the laptop is to choose an older Grub menu option, then it boots up fine. It may very well be a hardware issue because another (newer) laptop in the household has updated no problem.
Next, I tried to change the password of the admin account using "Users and Groups". It appeared to work but then I had to use the old password to log in again. On logging in I am prompted for the new password, the error message saying that the "token ring" password (I think it's token ring, I'm doing this from memory) doesn't match.
Again I can live with this quirk but it would be nice to put it right.
I recently installed Slackware 13. But every time I run startx I get my XFCE screen & it hangs up. Command line works absolutely fine.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using Debian Sid xfce on my lenovo laptop. When i try to shutdown, the screen always stays on (the fans turn off). It says "reached target shutdown", then this happens: [URL] .... and then it hangs. I have to press the power button to shut it down. (I have the same problem with reboot). I had the same issues with Jessie.
Things i tried so far and didn't work:
Code: Select allshutdown -h now
shutdown -p now
halt
poweroff
systemctl poweroff
init 0
I edited /etc/default/grub and added the following options at "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT":
acpi=force, acpi=off*, acpi=noirq
*acpi=off: shutdown (not reboot) worked a few times but i didn't have wifi and power manager didn't seem to work
none of them worked..
I have no energy or wake up options at my BIOS.
I found out that i can normally reboot with the Alt + sysrq + REISUB key combination.
I installed kubuntu 10.4 with dual boot. Initially it worked fine but after 2 days it started hanging after the login screen.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Lucid running on a Toshiba Portg R500. Last week it started hanging for just over one minute at the initial Toshiba screen. That is, the screen with the Toshiba logo and a series of boot-from options (HDD, CD, Network, USB) along the bottom. I don't know if the machine is even interacting with the OS at this stage. Also, neither Ubuntu nor the machine recognises the CD-ROM tray any longer. As in, I can't boot from CD and I also can't mount a CD when in Ubuntu. I can, however, boot from a USB startup disk (after the one minute delay).
I'm not sure how to collect helpful data on this sort of issue, especially since I can't see any threads that point to similar problems. The only strange thing I did the day this problem started was to forget to unmount a truecrypt-encrypted USB key before shutting the laptop off.
I've reinstalled Lucid but to no avail. I assume that whatever problem I have is a BIOS problem (and so strictly not for here)? As you can imagine though I want to make sure I've accounted for all other possibilities before fooling around with the BIOS.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an iMac G4, and I had a promising situation the first time through but I botched the install due to my newbishness and haven't been able to boot from the install CD since.
Here's the situation:
Hardware
800 Mhz G4
256 MB RAM
15" LCD display
32 MB GeForce2 MX Video Card
"Standard" Airport Wireless Card
(more details here)
What Happened: After poking around on the forums some and reading through some of the wiki pages, I decided that 8.04 would be a good place to start, so I downloaded and burned an install disc. My first attempt booted almost perfectly, but I confused the "booting from the CD" with "installed Ubuntu" (Iknow, I know...), and promptly rebooted back into OS X.
Since then, I've been unable to successfully boot from the CD. Using the 8.04 disc, I'm prompted for what style of install I'd like, and I feebly type "live," the ramdisk loads, and then the screen goes blank, reads "loading" in the upper left for a second, the optical drive whirs for a bit, and then everything hangs on a black screen with a white cursor in the upper left. I thought I might just be impatient, so I let it sit overnight, but there was no change in the situation.
I know this isn't much information to work with. Is there a way to enable a more robust boot description? Something that will let me know what's going on when the screen goes blank and the optical drive whirs?
