I have the following trouble when I try to install Fedora 10 with a USB Flash Drive created by Fedora LiveUSB 3.6.3 [url]...ator-3.6.3.zip in a HP Mini-Note 2133 Notebook.
Everything looked ok during install, restarted the PC, get the booting count down and splash screen.
After some seconds then get this:
I am not sure what is wrong I am dual booting with windows 7 I have partitioned correctly when I boot from the CD The first screen comes up where it says automatically boots in 10 seconds. when it finishes counting down it pauses and then goes straight to a black screen I also tried to load Ubuntu and the same thing happened. Not sure what to do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI received the Ubuntu CD by mail the other day and tried to install a dual boot with it. I first tried it out by running from the CD and the first problem I had was the screen froze after the splash screen. So I lurked around for a bit and found out that I can press any key on the screen with the keyboard and person to get to a different screen. At this screen I entered "F6" and then entered "nomodeset", this allowed me to pass the splash screen.
Next, I got into Unbuntu but I found out that the keyboard and mouse weren't working, so I lurked again and found out that I have to enter "noacpi" (sorry if I got that wrong, I forgot the name ). I ran by CD once more and everything worked, so I decided to finally install it next to my Vista. However, after installing it goes straight to the splash screen, and the freezing happens again. The screen where the keyboard and the person are not showing up so I have no idea how add the "nomodeset" and "noacpi". So my question is, how do I get to the screen where I can add both those things? Also, is there a way to add it permanently so I don't have to keep pressing F6?
I have a 4GB USB Flash Drive that I would like to install Fedora 14 Live on.
Process:
Downloaded the Fedora 14 i686 Live ISO file Used the Fedora LiveUSB Creator on my USB with the Fedora 14 ISO
I changed my BIOS on my Dell Inspiron E1505 to boot from a USB, then CD-DVD ROM, then Internal HDD Had USB inserted, then turned on computer.
Received the following message:
And then it sticks. I've found two other internet sites that have had this problem. One is in chinese, the other is in french. I know french, but the 'solution' was not clear.
I've installed the XFCE iso of Fedora 14 (the 64x edition) onto a 4 gig flash drive. When I try to boot from the drive, a command-line (BIOS?) interface pops up with the following text (no prompt).
Code:
It hangs there without going any further. I'm currently downloading a different version of Fedora 14, so maybe it's just a bad install. Or maybe this is something that I should have encountered before. Any ideas on how to get it booted up?
I just tried to install Fedora 13 but after the log on count down I just get a blank screen - nothing else. The disk is still loading but no screen action at all. My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE.

I get the OpenSuse splash screen, and the system just hangs.I found that if I press <Esc> and hit <Enter> a few times, the system will eventually boot. I also found if I wiggle the mouse during the splash screen, the progress bar will begin to move, and the system will boot.Seems to be something about detecting hardware during the boot phase, and it seems to be input related.

I would like to modify the splash screen that you see when booting up Xubuntu 10.10. I want something light. What dimesions should I have it at like 800X600 1280X768 and etc. I will be using this on many different resolutions. Also where does the splash reside on this build?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude E5500. For some time I've been installing different distros on it to find which is best suited for my needs. I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mandriva, openSuSE, Fedora, and several others. So far, openSuSE takes the cake in terms of what I need, speed, usability, etc. However, I have a soft spot for Fedora and I'm trying so hard to make things work, but I'm kind of at the end of the road unless you guys have some suggestions.
I was in the IRC chat for Fedora asking around, and one user was kind enough to point me in this direction, which made sense as to why I was having issues.

I was having mixed results, but I had also installed from a Fedora KDE LiveCD. I decided I'd try the full DVD release of Fedora 12 64 bit, so I installed it this evening.
To my disappointment, even the nomodeset parameter does nothing. I get to the blue screen where there's some kind of logo in the center that fills in with white. After it fills in, an F appears. That's where it stops. It just goes no further. Further adding to the confusion is the fact that the fix lists a kernel there, indicating (to me at least) that the kernel listed is when a fix was deployed. I have a newer kernel than that, and despite that I still have these issues.
So needless to say, I'm using my laptop as testing grounds to plop a different distro than Ubuntu on my laptop and 2 servers full time. I really want to make Fedora work, but at the same time I have to use what works for me. Not being able to boot and log in is kind of a big deal. :P
Is there anything I can do or try? I want to keep the OS's I run all the same, so if Fedora 12 bombs out on this laptop, it has no chance on the other servers I plan to run at work. So far openSuSE is running without a hitch but I'd really like to give Fedora 12 a chance....
When i boot my pc there is a black screen and then a message appears (initlymouth-splash main process(856) terminated with status 1) Some other times only this appears '' _ '' blinking (i don't remember how it is called in english,sorry) I hold Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then the screen where i choose profile comes up. I have 10.04 since they came out,and didn't have any problem except one issue with my belkin adaptor,but now i can't sync my iphone with rhythmbox or detect any flash sticks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. When booting, there is this "Ubuntu" writing on purple background and dots which are lighting up in order. On my machine this is in text mode. In 10.04 it was graphical. What can I do to have it again graphical?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded a new copy of Ubuntu 11.04 and burnt it to a disc and made a LiveUSB. But whenever I try booting from the USB it starts loading, then goes into a black screen with a bunch of text. My computer booted from a live USB before and it worked.I have an Aspire 5552 if the helps and the USB I am using is a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer.

As you can see, it's a scrambled picture of my Windows desktop. This happens with every other version of Ubuntu also.
I'm running a 64-bit PC and I don't wanna waste another CD or use a USB to install, because I actually progress further in my efforts whenever I use Wubi.
I have been running 10.04 quite successfully, when I upgraded to 10.10, I have a problem with the newer kernels. If I let it boot into the latest one 2.6.35-23, I get the Ubuntu 10.10 splash screen for a second then a blank screen, same with 2.6.35-22. I have to run with 32-25 to get it to load the gui.
I have an AMD Sempron 2800, 1.6GHz pc, but I'm not sure if it's running 64bit.
If I re-install Grub 2 from the live CD should that reset all the personalisations such as as splash screen and colours in the Grub splash to default? In my case they are not resetting. I would expect them to revert to the default black/white you get when initially installing the OS. the Grub timeout to be a lot less than its supposed to be? e.g. the default timeout setting of 5 seconds is more like 2 or 3 in reality, and when I set my prefered value to 2 seconds it results in being about 1/4 sec or so.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince updating my graphics driver on ubuntu 10.10, My splash screen has been inconsistant and messed up. Sometimes ill get random command lines mixed in with the usual splash, sometimes the splash wont show and it will just be black till the desktop appears, sometimes it flashes on and off. I originally tried fixing the resolution and just made the problem worse. Then I tried installing a new splash via gnome-look.org, but it just made my shut-down splash blank and didnt effect my splash at startup. I just want the original splash that ubuntu is supposed to have.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running 64 bit Ubuntu, and on the start-up after I pass the GRUB it goes blank for a minute then briefly shows the splash for 5-10 secs and then jumps to the login screen. Also the screen is offset by about 10-15 pixels but from the login screen onwards it is centred. (It's also like this for if I'm in recovery mode)
How do I fix this and Im wondering if it is a hardware problem?
I recently installed Ubuntu Studio and after an update the standard Plymouth splash screen began to show. I tried changing it back via the "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" method but I am getting a blue kbuntu splash screen instead of the ubuntu studio splash.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding to the Graphical Splash Screen. Is their a way to show the text based startup on booting your OS? So. I don't the OpenSuse Background with the loading line. But i want the half transparent black background if possible or just the black background with all the loading texts. The black and white screen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed 11 successfully from what I've told. I made some configuration changes upon a first successful boot and rebooted and now I am getting the Fedora splash screen and nothing else. What can I do to stop this? I thought I changed the inittab to 3 (I'm certain I did) but it started in X and I can't even check that because nothing is responding.
Is there something I can do when I boot up the computer to force it to go into the CLI? I am not a GUI person on Linux.
A while back I remember gnome loading on Fedora (or was it Red Hat?) with a splash screen with wobbly icons indicating progress. Was it discontinued? How can I set it up?
Looking at gnome splash screens, all I see are pictures and not a set up as such...
I am installing in Kubuntu (I cant stand ubuntu anymore) But when i try to use dd to install to a USB, I cant because Ubuntu got rid of the root and when i sudo it, It doesnt seem to work!
Here is the message i get:
I'm quite keen to get Fedora 15 up and running but I am falling at the first hurdle. I can successfully boot from a LiveUSB and be presented with a text only tty2 / tty3 / tty4 / tty5 interface inviting me to log in but no graphics are possible and I cannot see any way to install Fedora. I have GMA500/Poulsbo graphics chipset which has notoriously **** Linux support but I note that basic support has been inlined in 2.6.39 so I think that if I could only get Fedora installed and then upgrade the kernel or do other things later I will be ok.
