I am fairly new to Linux. When I loaded RED HAT 6 in Vmware it defaulted to command line, no GUI. Tried startx command and got command not found. Tried a whereis startx and it couldn't find it. Editied inittab and changed to runlevel 5 and it just hung at bootup. Had to change back to runlevel 3. Do I need load x-windows and if so how? RED HAT 5 loads fine in Vmware.
View 4 RepliesWhen i open one of the web browsers i use and try to load a web site it's taking to long to respond and sometimes it doesnt load the website at all. I have tried with firefox,epiphany,opera with all the same results. I am sure that this is not a problem with my internet connection because i don't have these problems with windows.Also the network manager connection settings are correct
I also tried choosing the old kernel(2.6.32.24) to boot from but no success.The problem is the same as if i am using the 2.6.32.25 kernel. The strange thing is that i can download packages from synaptic with full speed. Last think.I have recently downloaded the recommended updates from the update manager but i don't remember what are the things that where updated.
I had Fedora 7 and Windows Vista dual booting on my computer. I just installed Fedora 10. When the live CD asked me where to install it, I chose "Remove all Linux Partitions and create default layout" The installation went perfectly, but now when reboot my computer, it boots directly into Fedora; GRUB does not load to ask me which OS I want to load. I know I did not overwrite Vista because I can still view my Vista files through Fedora. Here is my grub.conf file:

What do I need to do to make GRUB load again upon booting?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu (9.10) on my sisters computer. I have installed ubuntu 9.10, but when I try to boot it from hard drive, it would stop loading a bit after the logo appears. The screen would turn off while the system is still running. Live version of Ubuntu works after reports of errors. I tried to search for the problem all over the forum, and could not find a good lead to figure out the problem.
So far to figure out the problem, I verified if cd is corrupted. No issues there. Googled the problem, and seems like other users were able to install 7.04 (old posts).
Its so weird though that live version works and the installed version does not.
Here are my specs:
I can post logs, but I'm not sure which one is useful as I'm relatively new to this process.
I noticed my Firefox loading rather slow (took around 5 - 7 seconds to load and navigate pages, even google, and it would sometimes become unresponsive), I thought it may have been a addon problem, so I opened up a new Firefox profile with no addons but the browser crashed upon loading the certain page I was trying to view, and I figured I'd look into it later and use Chromium for a while (I'll be open, I was trying to watch an pron tube site, and when your, you know, you don't really feel like stopping to go technical and try to fix it or whatever), but Chromium said that the flash player wasn't installed. I thought it was kinda odd, but then again I didn't want to go technical and thought maybe since mozilla firefoxs engine loaded the flash, I'd use Mozilla Seamonkey which uses the same gecko engine. The flash wasn't working either on there.
I tried looking up to see if there was a 64bit deb package for flash, but they didn't have it, and I seen someone mention that doing the 'apt-get upgrade' upgrades it, so I did that, and it also said it installed some extra packages when doing it, but I figured it was just that getlibs grabbing the extra dependencies and went along with installing them (after all there shouldnt be much to lose since its from the repository, right?)
I restarted the computer to give the updates a chance to take effect (it didn't mention to restart, but I thought I'd go ahead and do it anyways to ensure it updated okay).
This is where the booting problem comes in: When my laptop restarted, the loading was going across very slowly (I have ubuntu studio installed through regular ubuntu, so it was showing the text filling up), normally it would just fill a little bit of the first "U" in "Ubuntu Studio" and then be done quickly, but now it goes slowly all the way, and when it fills "Ubuntu Studio", it stills stays there, it doesn't load on.
I pressed the down button to see the terminal and it says this:
Code:
I have no clue what to do now, and I wanted to ask for help before I go trying myself editing the command line boot process.
I read the man pages of batch and it says that commands or scripts scheduled using the batch command will only execute when the load average goes below 0.8. As a newbie I hardy understand what it means. Does it mean that the system resources are busy?Ans since I want to see the o/p of the commands I have set using batch, is there any way i can bring the sys load average below 0.8?

It shows that I have a full connection with the wireless network, but it's really difficult to actually load a page. 80% of the time it just fails and shows "Page Load Error". It's really frustrating because it is connected to the internet. In fact, the icon in the address bar even loads from the site I try to access, but websites just will not load.

I want to load grub2 from grub4dos.I want to load directly the grub2 core. I know how to load first 512 bytes from some patition by chainloader and load grub2, but what I need is to load directly grub2 core without passing by bootstriping code (first 512 bytes).So, my first boot manager is grub4dos, then I can load grub2 and later I load Ubuntu. But I think I have to edit --set-root
What I dont know is how.
In hdd 0,7 (sda8) I have Ubuntu 10.10 and /boot/grub/core.img is in sda8 (hd0.7)

kernel /boot/grub/core.img
My Setup: Dell Laptop (BIOS allows boot from USB) - Vista 32 bit installed, 4 GB memory
External 500 GB HDD (iOmega) - Partitioned as follows:
NTFS: 50 GB
/boot: 1 GB
below two on one logical volume:
swap: 5 GB
/: rest ~ 440 GBI installed Oracle Enterprise Linux on the external HDD.
Did not install the Grub bootloader as I don't really want a startup boot option. The way I was planning to make it work was: When USB HDD connected and laptop powered up, it'll boot to the Oracle Linux. When the USB drive is not connected and laptop powered up, it'll boot to Vista. When I boot with the USB HDD connected, nothing happens. I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The USB HDD light comes on though. Is the above plan possible, or do I have to have a Boot loader installed?
If I have to have a boot loader installed, how can I just install the bootloader and not have to reinstall Linux on the HDD. The Linux drive is currently empty, so I'm open to any good suggestions to partitioning it. I want to keep a small amount of NTFS space on that drive to store some windows files and documents that I can carry around. The rest 450 GB is open for Linux. And I Plan to install Oracle Database and Apps on Linux (which takes about 350 GB of space).
How to get the load average for each CPU core in multi core(eg:duel core machine) processor environment. I tried using,
Code:
1. cat /proc/loadavg
2. uptime
3. top
But all of those commands gives the load average for whole system but not particular CPU core. Are there a way to take the load average for CPU core(Or any mechanism that can be done programmatic manner).
Very strange Grub2 issue on my Dell Mini 10.
Had Crunchbang Statler on it, and after an update, it would hang at grub, before the grub prompt. ("loading Grub, Welcome to Grub" then blinking cursor, but no prompt or ability to get into rescue)
So I booted into a liveCD, chrooted in, and reinstalled Grub2, purging everything. No dice. Same problem.
So I figured the device maps weren't right, so I pulled off any important files via the live stick, and reinstalled #!. Same problem.
Did a bit of googling, and it seemed like it was most probably not a true Grub2 error, but a bios problem, so I reinstalled XP, flashed to a new bios (A11).
Then reinstalled, this time with Zenwalk (figured it might be a debian thing). Same thing. (note I replaced lilo with Grub2 for puroposes of testing)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI don't know where to begin with this problem, because I'm not really sure what is causing it. What is happening is that every now and then my cpu load jumps up to 90-100% and just stays there. Programs that typically take a 1-5% of the cpu load start taking up around 40-50% of the total load. Everything bogs down to the point that only a restart fixes it. Does anyone have any idea on what might be happening?To give a little background, I recently switched from Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome to a dual boot with Windows XP and Slackware 13.1 with XFCE, Slackware being the main boot. What I'm experiencing now never happened with Ubuntu either. I will say that it does seem to happen when I stream media (movies and music) online, but it doesn't just start immediately. The increase occurs at irregular times, so I can't pinpoint one thing that causes. Moreover, I can't find a process that might be causing it
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an old laptop I bought for $20 & thought I'd install Linux & XP in a dual-boot. It couldn't handle the MINT installer, so I thought I'd go with Debian. XP was already on there, so I ran the Debian install CD (LXDE), set up the 2nd partition, and finished installation. It rebooted once, but since then will not load Debian.
I get the GRUB menu, pick the default (not single user), it runs through all the lines of text down to the block that says "starting gnome display manager gdm" & maybe 4 lines after that (which I can't read in time)... then the screen goes blank, there's a brief flicker, the CPU thinks a bunch, and then there's usually a low-pitched BOOP at which point the CPU stops thinking & the screen just stays blank. The power is still on, but nothing happens.
Anyway, I don't know if it has an ATI card or whatever (saw something online alluding to that being a problem.) I also don't know how to use the single user mode, or how to display error messages, or do anything useful in the command line. Haha... But I'm a novice programmer & "computer literate" outside of Linux, so I can learn.
The laptop has 128MB of memory (which functions perfectly according to MemTest 86), I think a 450MHz PIII processor, 20GB HD (split between XP and Linux), a dead battery, a slightly damaged Power Supply, damaged screen...
