Fedora :: FC12 Shows Interlaced Colored Lines During Boot Up

Apr 10, 2010

When I boot up F12, after I have decrypted the hard drives and after the services have started but before I get to the login screen my display flashes a series of interlaced lines across the screen. As far as i can tell theres no other problems with my computer, everything else seems to work fine. Its been there awhile now and its still there after a yum update. On first boot up of the day it shows white/gray lines (firstboot.jpg) [URL]. On subsequent shut down, boot ups it shows a blue, almost denim like display (shutdown.jpg) [URL]. Theres no problem if i just do a restart. Maybe related as well, last week some time my computer froze (opening large file, watching dvd and had firefox open, guess I ran out of memory?) So I did a reboot using the button on my computer, at the point where I usually get the coloured lines it instead showed a snapshot of my desktop just before it crashed. Though this happened after I first noticed the coloured lines.

Fedora Installation :: 10 - Graphic Drivers - Screen Showed Only A Bunch Of Colored Vertical Lines

Feb 10, 2009

I recently downloaded and installed Fedora 11 Alpha. I then installed the Nvidia drivers for my Graphics card (GeForce 7800 GTX). I discovered that Fedora 11 is using a Beta version of Xorg and an incompatible ABI. So, my drivers would not work with Fedora 11 without me dowgrading the Xorg server. I decided to reinstall Fedora 10 instead.

I started the install, and when the installation loaded the generic video drivers, my screen showed only a bunch of colored vertical lines. Fedora 10 doesn't allow me to install in text mode.

I'm trying to acquire from a home vhs (recorded from tv) to put into a dvd, but even if tvtime and xawtv show me without any noise, once recorded into a file with mencoder, a player (vlc kmplayer)shows some noising lines, as if the vhs was damaged, but it wasn't!

I attached some images to let you better understand.

Fedora Installation :: New FC12 Kernel Will Not Boot

Nov 17, 2009

I just upgraded to Fedora 12 x86_64 via yum upgrade. However I have problems with booting. The new FC12 kernel won't boot. Boot output is something like

Code:
ERROR: sil: RAID type 253 not supported
ERROR: adding /dev/sda to RAID set "sil_ajabaccaaidg
ERROR: sil: RAID type 253 not supported
ERROR: adding /dev/sdb to RAID set "sil_ajabaccaaihe
No root device found Boot has failed

I resized boot partition to 400MB, formatted it as ext4 and recopied all files, modified fstab to update boot partition's UUID. Tried to set a boot flag on boot, still, I can only boot with the old kernel from Fedora 11. Is it a Fedora 12 kernel's bug or something wrong with my setup? I don't use any RAID, and the sil error is present with Fedora 11 kernel also.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Dual Boot W/ Fc12 And Windows 7?

Jul 6, 2010

My current task is to add windows 7 to fc12. From other postings it seems the next step is to use the fc12 install disk to create a windows partition from the unused space. Could someone inform me about whether this will delete my current installation of fc12 and my home directory.

Software :: Text Is Colored Pixels During Boot?

Sep 11, 2010

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 and, although that installation seemed to work OK for awhile, I have recently encountered a strange problem. I have a dual-boot system with Win XP and two releases of Ubuntu, 10.4 and 9.10. I installed the latter recently only to be able to run some legacy software. I believe the problem occurred sometime around or after the installation of the 9.10 package. Note that the 10.4 install was a clean install on a newly formatted HD, and not a normal upgrade from 9.10, which I installed later separately. The Ubuntu installations are on their own HD. Win XP is installed on its own separate HD.

Here's the problem. I can boot OK up to and including the appearance of the Grub 2 menu, which displays fine. From the menu I can chose Ubuntu 9.10, Win XP or several kernels of 10.4. The 9.10 Ubuntu boots completely normally, as does Win XP--no problems or irregularities with either of those. When I select one of the 10.4 Ubuntu kernels, the strangeness begins, as follows:

1.) The menu disappears, there is a brief period of blank screen, and then a bizarre screen appears. It has a violet/magenta background. The word "Ubuntu" appears in large type, with a couple of lines of text below it. However, all of the type is unreadable. Instead of being normal characters, all the text characters are displayed as blocks of seemingly random multi-colored pixels! I can recognize that it is supposed to be text, but the letters are just a bunch of colored pixels. I can recognize the large Ubuntu word because of its shape. Also, the whole text display occurs twice on the screen, one on the left and one on the right. Both are displayed as colored pixels.

2.) The screen stays there, as if frozen, and does not continue with installation of the kernel. After some experimenting, I discovered that if I press Ctrl-Alt-Del (!), the installation continues as one would expect: I soon get the normal login screen, am able to login OK, and my desktop soon appears as usual.

3.) However, once in the desktop, if I try to invoke a console window by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1-6, the console window appears, but the text on the screen is again rendered as little bunches of colored pixels, completely unreadable. I can, in fact, login at these screens, but the text remains colored pixels. I can escape back to a normal desktop by then pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7, and the desktop comes back completely normal. Interestingly, if I invoke a terminal from the main Applications/Accessories/Terminal menu, I get a normal terminal in a desktop window that is perfectly usable.

4.) If, from the boot menu, I choose the Ubuntu 9.10 choice, everything works fine and as expected, including the Ctrl-Alt-F1-6 console windows. This problem only occurs with the Ubuntu 10.4 menu options.

Since this problem only occurs with the Ubuntu 10.4 menu choices, my guess is that there is something askew in the display configuration of those specific choices. But, I've not discovered what to check for that configuration or how to correct it. I've checked out the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, the /etc/grub.d number files, and /etc/default/grub, but can't find anything that seems to be the cause or the remedy.

Fedora Installation :: FC12: Yum Update Then Boot Hangs / Preload Daemon?

Feb 17, 2010

Have had a clean perfectly working copy of 2.6.31.6-166 for months and after two updates to 2.6.31.12-174.2.3 and 2.6.31.12-174.2.19, neither of the newer kernel versions will allow machine to boot properly. Start-up hangs at the preload daemon with a flickering screen. To use machine, must use grub chooser and choose the original base kernel.

Running on Tyan h2000m board, opteron 2356, Nvidia 9800 GTX+ and 12GB of dram with SELinux security enabled.

Computer is a s775 E7200 with nvidia 730i/9300 integrated graphics. I am NOT using hardware graphics drivers at the moment, having decided to stick with Nouveau drivers for a time. What system log tools do I need to identify the problem?

Fedora Installation :: Black And White Lines On Boot LiveCD Or HDD?

Jan 9, 2009

Downloaded the F10 live CD. Booted to it, got past the white, blue, and dark blue loading bar then my screen would be covered in black and white lines. No sign of the GUI except for a mouse cursor. ctrl+alt+backspace would cause the display to blink off and then come back on to the same thing. ctrl+alt+f2 would bring me to a terminal, logged in as root, but from there I couldn't do anything. startx would tell me I had x running on another screen.

hitting tab when booting the livecd and adding "xdriver=vesa" and "nomodeset" to the boot line. That works. I get to the desktop at native res with desktop effects. Killer. I tried to install; install went flawless, rebooted to my HDD and the same issue, black and white bars. When booted to my HDD, however, ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't bring me to a terminal, it causes my monitor to go into sleep mode and my computer becomes unresponsive so I can't do anything from the command line.

Here's what I'm getting at : how do I get my installed version of F10 to do the "xdriver=vesa" and "nomodeset" args that the livecd can do?

My machine is a home built machine I bought off of a friend. P4 2.4 ghz, GB RAM, 2 80GB HDDs, Radeon x1600.

General :: Unetbootin Parted Magic - Shows In Boot List But Won't Boot

Nov 1, 2010

Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.

Ubuntu :: Dual Boot XP - 10.10 - Boot Screen Shows Up But Then Computer Restarts And Returns To The GRUB Menu

Dec 16, 2010

I followed a tutorial to install XP across my entire HDD. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 "Alongside another OS". Ubuntu loads fine, but when trying to load XP, the boot screen shows up, but then the computer restarts and returns to the GRUB menu.

I saw some threads on this site and tried to type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

In the terminal. It returned a blank text document so I'm not sure if that information was outdated. I then typed: sudo fdisk -l

And got this:

Not sure what any of this means, but I sure hope someone else does. I would say forget XP, but it's hard to let go of some of the games and software I use. I appreciate any responses, thank you.

I tried to format the table as it appeared, but the forum corrected the extra spaces.

Ubuntu :: Boot Screen In Low Res With RGB Lines?

Sep 5, 2010

Everything was going great, updated my nvidia drivers, did initial updates etc... And everything was awesome from the boot screen to the shutdown screen.Recently (today) I installed a few updates that update manager thought were essential. However after doing so, when I restarted my computer and got to what should have been the boot screen, it simply sat for a few seconds with a few horizontal RGB lines and then booted to the login window... I have done nothing else to the pc besides those updates.Also when I shutdown I get the same few RGB lines, they are in the top area of my monitor @ a 135 degree angle.

Fedora :: Build A Rpm For FC12?

Jan 2, 2010

I saw that AMZ recently updated the rpm for Fedora to be compatible with FC 11, however the install is still broken on FC12 (obviously since it's built for 11).

My main question is has anyone found a decent workaround, that won't completely hose your system? Should I just wait until they build an rpm for FC12?

Fedora :: Non-KVM Kernel For FC12?

Mar 10, 2010

Not wanting to speculate why, in the repositories, Fedora doesn't *also* provide a on-KVM enabled kernel counterpart to the default KVM enabled kernel that *is* supplied, I must say I'm frustrated that they haven't done this simple thing.

Considering that everyone who upgrades to KVM enabled FC12 from a previous non-KVM release of Fedora (like FC10) ... considering that these people will be guaranteed to no
longer be able to run VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation after upgrading, is a disappointing oversight by / or intent of Fedora (one that manifests in *lost productivity*).

And try though you may to install the kernel source RPM and compile it after running "make xconfig" to disable KVM support, you usually can't! Fedora kernel compile attempts often die very early in the "make" process, indicating something like ...

"Kernel compile error: No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'

or some other silliness. And when you successfully compile a "kernel.org" kernel, and try to boot it, you get all kinds of missing library errors (etc).

Given that it would be simple to provide both a KVM enabled kernel (as they do), and also a non-KVM enabled kernel (which they don't) so the rest of us can seamlessly continue to run VirtualBox and/or VMWare Workstation after an upgrade - and avoid getting entangled with deciding whether use KVM or XEN for guest O/S's... it's a frustrating misstep to not have done this basic thing (i.e. include a non-KVM kernel). It was a rude awakening when we tried to launch VirtualBox only to have it fail after the upgrade.

Anyway, has anyone successfully compiled their own kernel for FC12 and not get errors after boot? If so, which sources did you use; and what kernel version? In the meantime I'll try out other kernels and compile options.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Boot Up - Plymouth Displays Some Stuff - Several Lines

May 6, 2010

My system runs fine, I have an Nvidia card and when I boot up I guess it would be Plymouth displays some stuff; several lines and it goes by too quick for me to be able to read much of it.

Then it goes back to normal and the login in screen appears like normal. Everything is normal except for the black display and the stuff that is displayed before the login screen appears. Even with this, my system boots up in under 20 seconds at last check.

Is there anything I should/could do to get the errors or information lines or whatever they are to not show up?

I installed Lucid during beta (I think) and have kept up with the updates and all appears smooth to me. I have a super nice custom grub2 screen.
