I downloaded Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso from the fedora project web site, and did the instruction on how to burn it using dvd. i used nero selecting burn a CD from an image file. after doing that, i restarted my laptop to install fedora 13 choosing to start the boot at the disk dvd but it won't boot to run the installation. instead the laptop will resume booting to its previously installed OS, fedora 9.
i browse the dvd media and there are 3 folders namely EFI, isolinux, LiveOS and GPL file.
I have fedora 13 64 bit installed on my desktop. I have i3-530, 2G ram, wd 500g sata, ide samsumg dvd-rw, asus h55 mb, geforce 9600 low profile. problem is f13 often almost always freezes at boot up.i.e., after grub, that blue heart hangs on there waiting to be filled up.. but wait forever. what might be the problem?
I have a problem with the kernel update to 2.6.34.6. Up until 2.6.33.x my system boots fine, but with this update the boot stops at the moment that the mouse cursor should become visible. To resolve the problem, I've gone back to 2.6.33.x and removed the 2.6.34 kernel but I wonder what happens with the next kernel update. Anyone else having this problem?
My computer won't boot up from the installed version of Ubuntu. I was running 8.04 with no problems, but it stopped working after entering a command code to fix the limit for virus definitions on Avast. I removed the code, but now on boot up all I get is a blank screen and blinking cursor.
I can boot up with an Ubuntu 9.1 live disk, and it shows the installed version of Ubuntu and all my data are still there. Is there a way to do a general repair, that will enable my computer to boot up from the installed operating system?
I've tried reinstalling Slackware64 13.1 to my PC a number of times over the past couple of days and I still have not been able to get it to boot.
Once it's installed I reboot and it tells me it can't find the operating system.
I've tried fdisk, cfdisk and GParted to set up the disk by deleting partitions and recreating them.
When I install and get to the section about installing LILO it says I have an OS/2 or Partition Magic boot manager on the drive, but there isn't. It asks if I want to install LILO in a compatible way with the boot manager and I say no, and install to the MBR. When I reboot it says it can't find the OS.
When I try to boot from the install DVD and get to the boot: prompt, I'll enter /dev/sda1 and it says there is no kernel.
Can't boot after upgrade to 2.6.31-19 kernel. Boot procedure stops on "Mounting root file system..." stage with message: /init: line 218: syntax error: 0xhda1.
I installed lucid the other day on my laptop, the first time it booted after installing it gave two error messages (unfortunately I can't remember what they said). The errors stopped appearing after that but once I select Ubuntu from the boot menu, it just hangs on a black screen for a good 15 seconds at the least before it runs the plymouth screen for like 2 seconds (the progress bar is already full) and then goes into the login screen. Here is my boot chart:

I was wondering if anyone can tell from that what is causing the issue and perhaps how to fix it? The boot log is like 3 lines long and is completely normal.
I have a dual boot (2 hard drive) system, and upgraded to 10.4. Booting into XP results in a flashing cursor that doesn't do anything. I know that GRUB screwed everything up, but I need to know what to do--and assume I don't know what I'm doing--to restore my dual boot ability.
Here's what I get after running a boot info script code...
For the past few days, my Ubuntu server (it is a desktop that functions as a server, Desktop installed) have been very slow. Today, it stopped responding to ping, I could not SSH into it (once, I managed to come so far that it asked for my password, but I got timed out) and I could not connect via VNC.
I switched it off, to boot it up again. Post completed, and the screen went black, before the white text "Read Error" appeared on the screen. I shut it down again, waited a minute or so, before switching it back on. This time, the "read error" did not show up. The "text only" startup for Ubuntu showed up, so I hoped it was all okay. It turned out it wasnt. I have some pictures: http://yfrog.com/4pimag0127xj http://yfrog.com/jnimag0128bj The top lines are code...
Any ideas on what could be the issue here, and how to fix it?
I've created my own wheezy live usb-hdd using:# lb config -a i386 --mode debian --distribution wheezy --linux-flavours 686 -b usb-hdd --bootloader syslinux --memtest none -p xfce P: Considering defaults defined in /etc/live/build.conf P: Creating config tree # lb build The binary.img was created. Now if I try to boot from this image using qemu, I get a message "No bootable device" If I check this main partition using gparted, the flag is "lba" instead of "boot". Even doesn't work if try to change to "boot". How to solve this problem?
I bought a Linux magazine as a Christmas present attached to it was a 8GB distro-loaded disc sporting Ubuntu 9.10 (which is already on my system,) Mandriver, and open-SUSE 11.2 which I decided to install. Problem is, I can't get into Ubuntu anymore, where all my mail music ect is.
Ubuntu is listed with vista in window 2 of open-suse grub. When I try to boot Ubuntu I get an earlier kernel splash which is somewhat magnified and busybox v1.1.3. Vista boots OK.
Would un installing openSUSE put things back as they were? I can learn about open-SUSE using the DVD
I just recently upgraded my kubuntu install from karmic to lucid and now it takes about 10-15 minutes to boot. Directly after the upgrade it was pretty slow already, but it got worse every day from then. The karmic version was a wubi install I moved to a dedicated partition using lvpm. Here are the results from the bootinfoscript code...
My first attempt at seeking help has not been very successful. Probably to much of a narrative. If you want to know How I got in this mess see my first post.
Machine: Asus Eee PC 1015
What I know: I can't boot into anything but Live USB
What I think: Win7 starter is still there Mint9 is lurking as well Vista recovery partition exists
What I don't have: External USB DVD or CD drive Win7 Recovery
I'm running 10.10, I just recently installed a new graphics card, a Radeon HD4670, Ubuntu loads, and after it's finished loading, it goes to a black screen, and stops loading. I previously was using a nVidia 6200.
I installed kubuntu a while back on an AMD64 3200 and hit some problems I can't solve: ran out of space on /boot & opera KEYEXPIRED.This is a multiboot machine. I have the /boot partition on an extended ext4 /dev/sda5 which is 50 MB size which was fine when I first set it up. It seems however that it is no longer sufficient for GRUB2:
I have recently completed a fresh install of 10.4 LTS which installed without a hitch. But I have noticed that since I have moved to Lucid on my T43 the hard drive light is constant for at least 20 mins after each boot. Everything seems to run ok albeit during this time apps take a little longer to open as the HD is busy doing some thing...I just don't know what! BTW I am running the Gnome desktop and its a fairly vanilla install.
This didn't happen in the previous Ubuntu version I had installed on here for several months prior.
Does any one have any ideas what this may be or how I could find out what it is that is using the HD for this length of time on boot.

I've been trying to get Full Tilt Poker running for a while now, with the 32bit wine available for x86_64, but it complains about phonon4.dll not being able to initialize. I've tried using winetricks to get it working, since it's as good a starting point as any, but even if I do the program bails out on me constantly with:

winepath -u %ProgramFiles% returned empty stringles
The best word that suits me to introduce is I am a novice! :-) but it is the difficult part get over with the new things and learnings!
Well once such situation made me introduce me to you is "Kernel Crash". I've recently installed Fedora 14 64 bit version on my HP HDX premium series, since then this Kernel crash is chasing me down! code...
I usually don't have problems installing Linux but Fedora won't install into 4 GB for me. I get to the partitioner, try to create a 4 GB partition, actually have 7 GB free, but it tells me there is no space on the drive. As I said, I usually don't get this problem but have not tried Fedora before and don't understand.
For some reason when i write a file to my NTFS-partitioned external HDD the files seem to get severely partitioned. This only happens when writing to it from within Fedora. Windows Vista doesn't seem to do this.
This image is a screenshot from MyDefrag. On my other hard drive i have a 7GB file consisting of 1400 fragments. i'm guessing this is too much fragmented, because it was a completely empty hard drive before it wrote the file.
What could have caused this please? and how can i solve this?
I have a MSI a6000 Laptop (that has given me a lot of problems installing Ubuntu.
I finally had to run Ubuntu from a CD in nomodeset
Then when I go to install Ubuntu the only options it gives (regarding my harddrive) are to format my whole hardrive or do the partitioning. I have seen screenshots though where there is a third option on the same page to install ubuntu alongside a prior OS and dual boot.
Does anyone know why the "install alongside a prior OS (dual boot)" option doesn't show up?
I have installed LXDE recently and I'm very happy with it,but there's one problem,which is that i can't switch the keyboard layout to another language,which in my case is Arabic,how do i solve this problem?
I have a server installed with a Fedora 8 and the other client PC were installed with Windows XP. Recently, I copied an educational courseware (this courseware is developed specially for Windows based PC) into the Linux-based server. I found that the .EXE (application file) :were unable to be opened in all of the clients and also the server. How can I solve this problem?
When I installed fedora 11 I had bad sound which crackled and crashed. I followed this guide -http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=225660 - which fixed my issues in videos playing on the web and in VLC. However; in the last few days sound has bugun crackling again in VLC while playing videos (web is fine). All updates have been applied and I am running 32 bit Fedora 11.
Also totem when playing video crashes, freezes, crackles etc while playing videos though playing sound files is fine with no issues. Any ideas how I might solve this and get my sound while playing videos back to how it used to be?
I cannot find the C library manual pages on fedora 11. Are info pages the same as man pages? or how can I install man pages so that I can use man 3 malloc?
Ejabberd fails to start in f-12. ejabberd-2.0.5-9.fc12.i686. This ran fine in f-10 and f-11. Getting a large number of strange error messages from the ejabberd log code...
Looks like it may be a permissions problem.
Anybody from the ejabberd community here that has gotten ejabberd to work on f-12?
