Fedora :: 15 On Lenovo T510 Boot Up Quite Slow (over 4minutes)?
Jul 4, 2011
After I upgrade fedora from 14 to 15 on thinkpad T510, it takes a long long time to boot up@~~~ .I look at the boot up prompt, it just stuck at the network service part.... for about 4 minutes!!!I followed thread url.
After I did
# echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" >/etc/modprobe.d/Intel-80211n.conf
# reboot
I am able to use my wireless now, but when fedora15 is boot up, it does not auto connect for me, I need to connect the wireless myself.
Here is what I find. During bootup, it stuck at Network service part for around
[fanw@f14 ~]$ systemctl list-units --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION
network.service loaded failed failed LSB: Bring up/down networking
sssd.service loaded failed failed System Security Services Daem
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.

i'm nix old timer but fairly new to running ubuntu on a laptop (although i've introduced plenty of noobs to ubuntu, because for most people it seems like a better alternative to windoze.).i've got 64-bit 10.04 running mostly well on a lenovo T510, but it is freezing and requiring a hard-reset every few days. certainly a big improvement over 9.10, which froze within minutes of enabling compiz.i'm just wondering if this has been officially reported yet?i kinda wish it actually crashed, so i could get a crash-dump, but it's just freezing.
I'm having trouble installing Fedora 13 (64 bit) onto my new laptop (Thinkpad T510). I've repeatedly tried the following three methods:
1) LiveCD I can boot into the LiveCD okay, and all hardware is detected. Double clicking on "install to hard disk" makes the disc spin a bit, but then it stops and nothing happens. At the same time the "application loading" cursor is displayed for a couple of seconds, then goes back to normal. Otherwise it acts as if I never clicked on the icon.
2) DVD The installation process goes as normal until it has finished formatting the hard disk. It then says an unhandled exception occurred, but gives no other info in the "details" section (it's blank). Pressing CTRL+ALT+F3 actually shows a description of the exception:
Code:
DBNoSpaceError: (28, 'No space left on device -- /tmp/storage.state: unable to flush page: 5') Pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 shows a constant stream of error messages starting with "ERR kernel:" which are scrolling too fast to read. 3) BFO (boot.fedoraproject.org)
[code]...
Pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 shows a constant stream of error messages starting with "ERR kernel:" which are scrolling too fast to read. I've used methods 2 and 3 to install Fedora on two other machines (with the same installation media as I'm using now) within the last week. The laptop is brand new and seems to run Windows okay (as well as Fedora from the LiveCD). I've tried resetting the BIOS to the defaults but that didn't help.
I'm a newbie and try to switch from Win7 to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity desktop.
My internet connection is slower than hell, and I dont know how to fix it. I tried with disable Ipv6 but it doesnt make any difference. Not sure if its disabled proper because if i do code...
I have a Lenovo S10-3. There is a known issue with this laptop booting Ubuntu 10.10 and it is indicated that this problem will be fixed at release? What does this mean? Lenovo S10-3 systems don't boot. Temporary workaround: add "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" as a kernel paremeter at boot (634702). A fix already exists that will be available only at release time (647071). I am hoping to run 10.10 on this Lenovo!
I installed kernel 2.6.32.9-67 via a yum update this morning. When I rebooted, the machine appeared to freeze with a single blinking underscore cursor. I used a live CD to edit grub.conf and reboot into the old kernel, which started normally. Later, I tried booting into the new kernel via grub again. After about two minutes, the blinking cursor is replaced by the normal boot screens and the machine works fine. This is on a seven year old PC with AMD Althon XP 2000+, 768MB RAM, VIA KT400 chipset and the NVIDIA 173xx driver from RPM Fusion.
Since the yesterdays updates the boot process lasts terribly long of my Fedora 12 on a x86_64 system. It lasts about 10 minutes or longer. The strangest thing is that if I press keys (any of them) it goes faster (about 1 minute). There are no errors or other things which might be the reason for such a behaver.
Does everything work out of box (i might be dreaming...), but that'd be awesome and I might just buy an SL510 just for that reason. Im talking everything, ports, power/hibernate/etc, sound (esp), etc
Also, how well would Ubuntu AND Compiz run on a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD video card and Intel Core 2 Duo processor P7570 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz, 3MBL2, 25W)?
Anybody notice a slowdown in their boot times? I have had F11 (64 bit) running for about three days and it is taking twice as long to boot as when I first installed. I have not done much other than configure my wireless printer and change a few icons. I have Compiz cube effects running but I did that right away and it made no difference in my system speed. If anything I thought I should be booting faster after disabling a few things in the start up menu that I dont need.
I went from about a 30 second total boot to almost a minute to the login screen top - 15:13:37 up 11 min, 2 users, load average: 0.35, 0.24, 0.12 Tasks: 150 total, 1 running, 149 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.8%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3062244k total, 523208k used, 2539036k free, 31580k buffers Swap: 5111800k total, 0k used, 5111800k free, 206328k cached
I have made a complete mess of a Lenovo T500 Win 7 and Ubuntu dual boot system. I won't go into a long story of how and why I did what I did but jump to the final mess I have. Win 7 is still on the machine it's original partition. Lenovo's recovery partition is still there. The linux swap partition is still there. The partition Ubuntu used to live on is still there but through my own errors unallocated. GRUB is broken and reports this message on boot.
error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue>
I can boot from the Live USB and see what remains after the mess I've made. Attempts to reinstall Ubuntu onto it's original partition fail because the installer cannot see it. It wants to put Ubuntu into the Win7 partition.I cannot use the ThinkVantage button or F11 to access Lenovo Rescue and Recovery to restore the machine to factory settings and then reinstall Ubuntu.
I cannot use the methods described in other threads on this forum to fix a broken GRUB requiring a Win7 rescue DVD because I don't have one. I have come to trust Lenovo's hidden partition with rescue and recovery files to restore the machine to factory state. (This is my 3rd Lenovo, but my first Win7)
All important files have been backed up, recovery is not necessary.In the end I need to be able to boot into Win 7. This is a work computer, others use it from time to time and don't want to use Ubuntu. So wiping the entire HD and running Ubuntu is not an option. I would like to leave Lenovo's hidden partitions intact as they are usually a good way to recover from a mess. I would very much like to have Ubuntu back as I prefer it to Win 7, Vista and XP.
I can boot from the Live USB into Ubuntu 10.10 and see that the Win7 OS and Lenovo hidden partitions are still there. Attempts to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.10 are not going well because the installer cannot find the partition Ubuntu was first on.
1 - fix or remove GRUB
2 - use GParted to repair my damage to Ubuntu's partition so that Ubuntu's installer recognizes it
3 - reinstall Ubuntu
My unskilled messing about has left my HD partitioned as follows as reported by GParted Partition...........File System.......Label....................Size........ ....Used..............Free..............Flags
I just started testing ubuntu 10.10 today (first time user!) on my desktop via usb drive and I liked it very much so i wanted to try it on my laptop (lenovo x120e, a relatively new model).
When i tried to use the usb drive on my laptop, I am unable to boot ubuntu at all!
I went into the "boot device" menu (pressed F12, for lenovo users) and to specifically boot from the "USB HDD" drive. This caused the screen to go blank and a cursor started blinking on the top left hand side of the screen. A few seconds later, i would return to the "boot device" menu to try again. (my guess is this is what happens if boot fails).
My laptop has win 7 installed on the hard disk, with no other OS installed. The bios is at factory settings.
I googled this topic and there are many threads out there of users encountering the same problem, none specifically for the x120e model. the other solutions are either too technical for me to understand or may not apply. Below is a list of what i've tried or will try later..
List of things tried/to be tried
1) use unetbootin instead of Universal-USB-installer - tried both, was able to boot from desktop but not on laptop
2) assign a variable to kernel (could not find the exact name, but the variable name had the string "intel" prepended - i didn't try this... my laptop is amd (i don't think it should matter... my desktop is also amd)
3) re-image the usb - done it many times
4) corrupted usb? - seemed to boot on desktop with no issues... tried other usb anyway but no luck
5) Try to install 10.04 - just downloaded it, will try tomorrow
I'm trying to do a clean install of Lucid (10.04.1) 64-bit on a Lenovo X201, Ubuntu only (no dual-boot), using the alternate install disk for an encrypted LVM.
I followed the default options at all points during installation, except that I opted not to configure the network because the computer is not currently connected to a network. The install (said that it) completed correctly.
When I turn on the computer, it correctly runs the BIOS. Then I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the upper lefthand corner. The hard drive accesses a couple of times. After a few seconds, the screen goes off (the cursor doesn't just vanish; the screen actually goes off), and it just sits there indefinitely without booting.
I should note that I've tried this with the boot order in the BIOS set several different ways, including HD first and only, with no effect.
I'm using Fedora 12 since 2 years lately, I really enjoy this S.O., it's quite robust and wonderful, but a couple of months ago it is really slow to boot up when startup the computer, I've checked everything, but seems to be ok, I had a partition lost arround that date, but recover successfully, it happens when I run gparted that It cannot see partition on my 500 GB disk, but still boots up. When running Mandriva live cd, it can see (?) all partitions on that disk, even with Fedora Dolphin I can access this partitions. What could it be?
I installed fedora15 on my laptop. and after an upgrade, with the kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64, my fedora boot is taking almost 10 minuts.....Its take so manytimes to boot. does someone knows why?I installed jdk, eclipse, glassfish, firebird and postgres for my workspace.....

ok I I figured out why the long time to boot.I have here installed glassfish and I add a Line on /etc/hosts like that:
I got a new Lenovo S20 and I am having trouble loading Linux. I've loaded these variants with no success:
Ubuntu desktop Ubuntu server Linux Mint CentOS vmWare esxi
The live CD's run, and very nicely at that. But once I install to the workstation they won't boot. I just get a blank screen. I've tried different bootloaders.. I've toyed with different BIOS settings.. I've even installed to different drives (a hard disk and an SSD). Maybe a hint: BSD installs and runs with no problem at all. I have PC-BSD running at the moment. It's nice, maybe I'll keep it. But I'd rather have Linux.
My amateur computer science mind sees this as not a boot loader issue (recovery mode shows Linux seems to be loading to a point.. but I can't see the script line just before the lockup) not graphics related; UB Server and vmWare are text-only and they won't load either probably not a bios issue (liveCDs run and other people run Linux on S20s) not hardware (Windows and BSD run on this one)
I try to make a small AVR-Board boot a Linux from my Lenovo laptop, which is configured as NFS server (running nfs-kernel-server). Everything is configured correctly and it should work, but it doesn't.I just installed another laptop (from ASUS) with the same configuration (OS, tools, settings) and there it works immediately.
So I wondered, what's going on on eth0 ? I checked with Wireshark and here are the things I found out.On both laptops, the following paket arrives:
I've just joined the linux gang(or I am trying to) I have
-downloaded desktop/netbook edtion
-burned to dvd using infrarecord
-changed bios settings to boot from cd
-didn't work
-used the override feature that gives a bootlist at splash screen but cd drive not listed so I assume the cd is not recognised as a boot disk
-tried the usb/cd maker that comes with in the rar but its looking for the cd image...an .iso file, but I can't find one in folder.
ubuntu says I can run a trial from the cd alongside vista but when I open the executable it just offers intall, no try and if selected starts to install I think I can do the partition thing if I have to but I don't want any vista running on my machine.
After a new Fedora 12 installation, i cannot automount my Windows partition. My system is setup originally at windows XP ,partitioned, then change to Fedora 10. Change to Fedora 11 through update.System very slow.
I decided to upgrade to fedora 12 by DVD installer, then i have to mount manually to access my back-up, when typing su -c '/sbin/fdisk -l' at terminal, this is the code:
I've one lenovo 3000 g430 4152 laptop on which i have windows but previously installed debian 5.03 and for enabling the wireless i've to download broadcom b43legacy and install it by compiling because the backports kernel doesn't work with lenovo and after installing debian accidently switched of the wireless by the slide button on laptop
but on next boot i was not able to enable the wireless either by the slide button or fn+f5 which is the key for enabling it the wireless then on some forum i got advise that i can only re-enable by installing windows because lenovo drivers are available for only windows for this model... my question is that is there any solution for it in debian and also there is one more problem that i've to press fn+f8 twice on each boot for enabling the touchpad...
We've just bought a new Lenovo ThinkPad T510 in the UK, which includes the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 3G broadband chip on a mini PCI card, attached to a WWAN antenna (around the screen?).
I've done a lot of searching, and was not able to find a way to get this chip to work in Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide some help here?
I just received my laptop this week and have been tweaking my laptop to acquire more stability. I just installed the NVIDIA proprietary drivers for the NVS 3100M chipset and I have a residual windows that wont disappear even after reboot. Even after reinstalling the NVIDIA driver it stays. Is there some way to flush the framebuffer?
I loaded Fedora 10 onto my Lenovo T60 last week. everyday i boot it up and it works fine for a few minutes, then freezes. to the point of powering off. my mouse still works but nothing else. i power back up and it generally stays up after that.
Before i had Fedora i was useing PCLinux 2009 and it worked just fine. i get a kernel error alert every once in a while. i finally submitted it to Fedora to be reported. also a flash plugin says it is needed at times but most media plays.
Is there something i'm missing here? like i need to add an additional update? i already updated/installed most Fedora 10 updates.
I have problems installing Fedora 14 on my netbook, is a Lenovo S10-3, model 0647FDS (Atom N550, 2gb DDR3, etc). When the installation program starts, hangs at "Initalizing network drop monitor service"
I'm trying to install Fedora 15 on my Lenovo S10-2 netbook, using a USB drive I created with LiveUSB-creator, as suggested. The creation of the USB drive works fine, but when I try to boot from it on the Lenovo, I get cryptic error messages :ERROR : idle with IF=0 -- and then some misc. error codes.I have no idea what this means or how to progress from here
I have a lenovo 7757 model which has an inbuilt camera. I have FC9 working on it. However I cannot use the camera. How do I enable it? If someone could point me to a driver if it needs to be installed.
I m new to linux. I have fedora 14 on my lenovo 3000 n100 machine but thr is no sound at all. I have tried all the possible solution but no success at all. My alsa profile is [URL].
