Fedora Installation :: 12 "Install To HD" Doesn't Start
May 12, 2010
I am trying to install Fedora 12 from the Live CD to a hard drive that only has a Windows XP partition on it. While I can boot up fine, when I click the "install to hard drive" icon, the program shows in the taskbar for a few seconds, and there's a red light coming from my computer, but the program doesn't launch. The first time I ran it, it did work, but I decided to not install it then. How can I get it to run? Do I have to burn the install CD again?

I just downloaded the F11 x64 DVD iso, and I when I try to install it, after the media check screen, Anaconda starts it load, but it says "X failed to start, falling back to text mode" (or something like that).
The install goes through (in text mode), and all that gets installed is the basic environment.
My specs:
- AMD X2 Phenom II 550 Callisto
- 4gb DDR2 800 memory
- 1tb Samsung SATA / 100gb Western Digital SATA
- 2x XFX Geforce 9600gt 1gb
- ASRock K10N780SLIX3-WIFI motherboard
I've tried Ubuntu x86 on the same system, but I was having issues with it, so I decided to try FC11 instead.

So lets start with my laptop. I am currently running windows vista 64-bit and I usually experiment with linux on a virtual machine but I decided to try and put it on as a dual boot os. I have x3 320gb hdd (7200rpm) on raid5, x2 1gb nvidia gtx go running sli, 8gb ram, 2.8ghz core2 quad, and random other things that aren't important. Point is that my system should run anything I throw at it.
So I downloaded Fedora 11 from a torrent and burned the iso to a disk. When I run it, it pretends its going to run it, it comes up with a log and loads stuff and all. But then it just hangs.. it doesn't do anything, no live starts, no nothing. Its just a blank screen with a blinking underscore in the top left "_" so I type and my typing shows up and thats it. Any other time I've used Linux I've never had to put in a command or anything to start, so I don't know what the problem is.

Sometimes when I boot openSuse 11.2, it only boots to runlevel 2 (console) I have to log in as root and enter init 5 to make kdm appear. Then I can log in normally, and everything works fine.

I ran the install from the Fedora12 DVD, downloaded via Bit Torrent, so integrity should be OK. The install shell does not see my 3rd harddrive, which is where I want to install. I burned the KDE live version of Fedora12 to run the checks suggested by marcrblevins. The results are below. Fdisk clearly sees sdc, where I want to put Fedora.I tried installing from the live CD, but the install shell was identical to the one from the DVD, so I'm pretty sure they are both good copies. The CD install could not read the 3rd harddisk, either. Ubuntu versions 9.04 and 9.10 installed to this partition without problem.

I have just done a fresh network install on SUSE on a new HP Proliant ML115 server. The install seemed to go OK, but on rebooting after the install I get a shell logon/prompt -- no GUI. Have tried reinstalling with the same result. If I try to run startkde I get a message that says "$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server."
How do I resolve this?

I got an opensuse 10.2 on a aged desktop. Once start, it just stops at command line login prompt. I have to login and type 'startx' to get the GUI. Since I haven't used this computer for over half year. I couldn't remember what I did last time. Any tips for this problem?

In a kde terminal, apt-get was installing gem when it asked me to restart the kmn daemon (i'm not sure about the "kmn"...) and i hit "yes" when the gui dissapeared and fell back to tty1. I waited a while and then restarted the system but kde didn't start automatically (it used to be so). I tried "startx" and "startkde" but they are unknown.
I don't know linux this deep so i don't know what to check or how to trace down this problem.

I'm running a P4 system with Dual ATI Radeon 2900HD Graphics cards. When I try to install F11, the graphical interface fails to start and I end up in a text install. I've seen plenty of information on how to fix the problem post install, however I'm not nearly advanced enough to then continue the installation (the text install does not install much, particularly doesn't install the graphical interface). Is there a way to work around this (IE a more complete text install, or somehow getting it to install in graphical user interface?)

I just installed squeeze on a raid 1 set of partitions via netinst. gde works fine. I have installed kdm and all of its dependencies (I believe), but when I select it and log in, I see the kde startup screen for a moment, then it goes blank, and goes back to the login screen. My /var/log/kdm.log is:

My laptop is a Core 2 Centrino and i installed OpenSUSE 11.3 i586 on it recently. I tried to install the graphic card's driver using this instruction:ATI Installer HOWTO for openSUSE usersafter installation was done, i restarted the system but during the boot, where the openSUSE appears, the screen went black and nothing happened afterward untill i turned of the system manually.i tried again and same result, so i logged in with failsafe and un-installed those packages, now the system boots successfully, but it boots to the terminal instead of the desktop. i might have removed the X server package or something important.now that i have access to terminal and i can log in, i thought i can do something with it and solve it this way rather than re-installing the whole OS.he graphic card is :ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570, if anyone knows how to the driver for this card, please let me know how to.

Doing a fresh F12 install on a Dell Vostro 430. Machine needs to have 2 Network adapters for our setup.The install seems to go just fine but the on board network adapter doesn't appear to get detected/configured. If I look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts all I find is ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo. Looking carefully at ifcfg-eth0 I see it's the second card that I've put in the machine.As a test I removed the second network card and did another fresh install of F12. This time in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts all I have is ifcfg-lo. When I go to system>Administration>Network Device Control I see no network devices displayed.
Is this an issue others have seen with F12 or is it possible my on board network adapter has an issue?BTW I did check the BIOS to be sure that Onboard Lan was enabled and it is.output from "lspci -k " with both cards installed on machine (I only listed Ethernet controllers)

First time this has happened. I installed Fedora first (XP already installed) and then installed Ubuntu 9.10 64. Fedora doesn't show up on boot up menu. I've tried update-grub.
Before I would have just edited menu.lst, but now?? I dunno.
edit; Here's fdisk with Fedora on sda6

LibreOffice 3.4 shows up as installed and in my applications menu, but when I try to open it (either through the menu or by opening a file) it shows up with the spinning thing in the task bar but then disappears and never opens.
Did I forget to install part of it?

When I restart, GRUB sometimes doesn't start. It just hangs at the flashing cursor before grub.
When I restart again, grub works fine. The flashing cursor shows at the top of the screen for a few seconds, and then there is one or more new lines, and then the grub screen.
This is on an HP Pavilion 640 which is otherwise very stable.

Yesterday I installed Fedora 15 instead of Ubuntu 11.04. I have nvidia card, so I've searched for nvidia driver installing howto and found it on this forum [URL]. But after updating kernel -
Code:
yum update kernel*
(now it's latest - 2.6.39) - and rebooting Fedora didn't start. I even don't know if it's something with GRUB because It automatically loads Fedora and I can't know whether it's its problem. When I try to start Fedora, I just see black screen with blinking underline cursor at the top left of the screen and it's the first and the last I see except laptop splash screen. I have Asus F50SV (Nvidia GT120M). By the way, I've tried to install nvidia drivers manually and xorg.conf became broken. I've edited it and now it like this:
Code:
# RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf
#
Section "Device"

When I boot my Fedora 15 installation it shows me the blue screen with progress indicator, however I do not reach the login screen.Instead I see the textual shell where the last item is:Started Display Manager.It looks like my monitors are not detected anymore. I have been working with them though (this appeared after a restart). I am not sure how I determined it but I read in some log that no display was detected. Nothing changed to the hardware set up however.I see some suggestions to run system-config-display as root.However this command can not be found nor can it be found when I run yum install system-config-display.

All this started when I decided to upgrade Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. Now Windows XP gives me a blank screen and doesnt run. I have tried a bunch of things but didnt help. I also clean installed Ubuntu 9.10 into a new partition and removed the deleted the other partition.
[Code]....
1. Windows XP on sda1 wont start from grub2 (version 1.97-beta4).
2. I can access the windows partition from Linux and see all the files.
3. When I boot using windows cd, and go to recovery mode it doesnt list Windows XP.
4. From windows Recovery mode when I try "diskpart" it says no partitions in c drive.

Yesterday, I made a clean install of 10.10 (64 bit). Among others, I installed World of Goo from a .deb file, and it worked fine.
Today, I wanted to install Skype from the .deb file. When I double-click the file, I get a "wait" cursor for ~20 sec, then nothing happens. When I try to start Software Center from the Main menu, I also get the Wait cursor and then nothing happens.
I started software-center from the terminal and the software center opened, despite some warnings in the terminal. I could install some random application from the list. Then I tried to start
Code:
And the software center window showed, with Skype selected. When I clicked Install, there was an error message. Despite the "no such a file or directory" part, I am sure that the file name is correct (I tab-completed it).
This is the error message I received when I tried to install:
Code:
Here are the warnings I received when I started the software center:
Code:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at [url] and retry.
