I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and after the upgrade I am getting an exit code of 32 from mountall which is causing the system to not boot. This wouldn't be a big deal except I have no blank CDs and it won't boot from a thumb drive so I can't go in an modify the /etc/fstab myself.
View 7 RepliesI boot into the CLI (by changing gdm.conf) and before it gets to the logon, it produces this error. So far, I haven't seen any effects but I'd like to get rid of it. Sometimes, I also get the error
Code:
mountall: plymouth command failed
I removed and reinstalled the Plymouth packages to no avail.. Anyone know how I can at least get rid of this error from appearing (like somehow changing a .conf file to not even try and "connect" to Plymouth)?
I did try the sudo apt-get update and all those other commands as listed on other sites. I went through the basic Google search so after the first 4 pages, I'm outta ideas.
i use synaptic manager to get the updates. I tried to get the required plugins like gstreamer 0.10 plugins bad. I downloads the all the required files but at last it show the following
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall
I have upgraded at lucid from karmic.I have a little peculiar setup. My root partition is on sda3 and I mount the following:/usr -> /dev/sdb1/var ->/dev/sdb2/home -> /dev/sdb3(sdb isn't really a SATA disk but a PATA).When I boot with the new kernel 2.6.32-22 mountall stops with error messages that /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb1 are not ext2 file systems(this message comes from fsck.ext4??-It's using a ext4 program to check for ext2??)and cannot be mounted.Of cource those are normal ext4 filesystems which are being mounted without any problems with the last karmic kernel 2.6.31-21 which is what I am using)

View 3 Replies View RelatedToday morning I was upgrading ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. When the packages were downloading it was showing 20m left to download. At that time I had a battery of 2 hrs. As I had to go so I left my laptop on and went( the charger unplugged ).
When I came back I get the following message:

I know this is coming because of improper shutdown. Also I think that the new ubuntu was not yet installed as in the boot menu it was showing old images only..I had Widows 7 also.
I wanted to Upgrade from Fedora 13 to 14 and downloaded the Upgrade Image using the Pre_Upgrade Installer. My system downloads the upgrade just fine but when it starts to perform the it asks for the location of the new Fedora 14 ISO and I have no idea where that is or what to enter as a possible location which I have no doubt is in the default area.

But at the next and each subsequent cold boot the BIOS reports "Your system last boot fail or post interrupted Please enter setup to load default and reboot". The board is an asus P5N-D.

Now when I try to boot up it just returns me to the login screen over and over I booted off of a liveCD and can see the folders on my hard drive but root and home have an X on them and I am denied permission to view them. I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 and I am able to login in text mode. The folder I am trying to recover is on my desktop and it is named Jim Barfield (2 words). When I attempt to navigate to this folder it says that the folder or command does not exist. Does anyone have any ideas? I have replaced the hard drive and Win7 runs fine- I do not think it is a hardware problem. I really need those files- it is a customer's backup of all thing!
Today I've upgraded Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and upgrade installed without errors but when I chose to boot in Win from grub menu screen goes black tries to boot and then goes back to grub menu. It just lets me boot in Ubuntu from grub. How can I repair this. Windows were first installed then Ubuntu 10.10. Here is boot info.

I finally figured out what my root password was by dumb luck. It just takes me to a root prompt. I'm actually communicating through a live 10.04 installation disk.
I was happy with my Jaunty on my Asus X53 with ati radeon hd2600 and restricted driver, until two hours ago. I've started (after a long wait) to upgrade my Jaunty, everything was fine after upgrade, but I've noticed video was running with "ubuntu driver" and 3d wasn't available, so I started to install a fresh release of ati driver. But before I've saw in /usr/share/ati the previous copy of my restricted driver so before install the fresh copy I've run "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" it had remove all telling me there wasn't any istance of fglrx (of course I thought...) ...and so before start with new installation I've thought about a reboot for first, but after it I'm unable to boot...
from normal boot it simply hang after a while, I think when it try to initialize video card. but more worse, also after choice recovery option at grub loader it hang after a bit, without give me any prompt.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10x64 to 10.04x64 today (figuring I'd get in before the rush tomorrow). I rebooted, got past grub, and all I got was a flashing cursor... To get a better idea of what was going on, I edited the line I was booting in grub ('e' on the line) and removed the "nosplash quite" options. The machine began to boot and I got the standard stuff that you'd expect to find in kern.log. The system then mounts my drives and that's it, no more output at all. If, however, I plug in a USB device I do get the USB plugged in kern.log message, but the machine never boots into Ubuntu.I'd really like to not reload the machine, it isn't a horrible problem as /home is a separate partition, but I have a lot of stuff I'd hate to have to reinstall. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might get into my installation?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my ubuntu to 10.4 the other night. Everything went well and 10.4 worked great. However, I tried to boot up Windows this morning and found that after selecting XP from the grub menu, all I got was a black screen. I can access the drive from linux and can save the music and photos I store on the HD with windows, I'm afraid I was not paying enough attention during the upgrade (late night!) when I got to the point where I was asked about installing grub on various drives and I may have installed it over the mbr/pbr? on the windows hd. Does anyone have an guess what I might have done?

I made a mistake while upgrading the GRUB options - when choosing "install the maintainer's version vs. keep the local version"...in the drop down menu, I chose the local version option. On reboot, GRUB works, but I can't boot into 10.04. My old entries (kernels) are still there, but when I choose them, there's an error that says something like "disk not found". However, I am able to boot into Vista.
So do I solve this problem by fixing GRUB? If so, how? I have a Live CD of 9.10, would that be necessary to use it to solve this problem?
refer to [URL], under GRUB.menulst: maintainer's version vs. keep the local version. I read it afterwards (I should've read it before)
After going through the upgrade (alternate cd) I now can't boot into XP, even though it's in the GRUB2 menu.
I have fixed up the boot sector as described at this site Attached are my results from the boot info script
SDA1 is XP
SDA3 is 10.04
sda3 has this strange error: Quote: Grub 2 is installed in the boot sector of sda3 and looks at sector 66800445 of the same hard drive for core.img, but core.img can not be found at this location.
I dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows XP. After an upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 online, I can boot XP, but not U10.4 It looks to me that U10.4 does not find the MBR. Fortunately I can boot into XP.

Have had a torrid time with upgrading to 10.4 and now regret it. The initial workaround from [uRL] works for me and I can get booted, but the attempt to permanently edit that into the kernel boot parameters dos not work, and restart just returns to the original problem. How can I edit the kernel boot parameters or what am I doing wrong? I enter the commands as given. I assume the vertical line and line break mean I hit enter in the terminal then.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu like 3 days ago with a cd I got when I bought a magazine about Ubuntu. That cd contained Ubuntu 9.10. After a couple of hours I desided to instal 9.10. After using 9.10 for 1 day and installing some programs like java and flash player, I checked for updates and desided to update to 10.04. The installation seemed to go all smooth, but after I clicked on the 'reboot now' button, my laptop couldn't boot no more. A little purple screen with "Ubuntu" written on it popped up for like 5 seconds and then it dissapeared, and there I had a nice black screen. I waited 4 hours, but still nothing. Yesterday I installed 9.10 again, and now I still want to update to 10.04 or 10.10. But I can't seem to use a Usb flash drive with my Toshiba laptop, and I only have 1 cd left. My rabbit kinda destroyed the 10.04 cd and now I only have 1 cd left. Shall I burn 10.10 on a cd and check if that one will work properly, or is my laptop just to old and slow ( Centrino 1.6ghz, 512mb ram ) to run one of those versions? I'm really new to ubuntu and my English sucks as well, because I come from Holland.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI initially installed 10.04 using the Ubuntu Windows Installer and everything was running fine. When I would boot up the computer it would first hit the Windows Boot Loader and give me the option of booting Windows 7 or Ubuntu. When I chose Ubuntu GRUB (I believe) would then load asking if I wanted to load Ubuntu or Windows 7. This was fine as it would work and that's all I cared about. Now after running the 10.10 upgrade from within Ubuntu (not from a CD) when I select Ubuntu from the Windows Boot Loader it acts as though Ubuntu is going to load, the screen goes black and then the computer reboots itself. I would prefer to fix the problem, if possible, instead of doing a fresh install.
