Ubuntu :: Dots Indicating Loading But 10.10 Not Starting
Mar 16, 2011I made the fatal mistake of hibernating on my Lenovo T61. Ubuntu wouldn't wake up after that, I tried pressing all kinds of key combinations and nothing. So I did a hard shut down and now Ubuntu won't start. On the grub menu I chose Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35-7 normal mode and it just shows the screen that says "Ubuntu 10.10" and the four dots underneath indicating loading.
So I tried recovery mode and it stops at:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sda5: clean, 688078/4988928 files, 15488354/19939072 blocks
I also tried unplugging the laptop and removing the battery and putting it back in and plugging and restarting. Nothing changed. Then I tried restarting without the battery in and now the normal mode just shows a black screen and a flashing cursor. I also have the USB stick I created to install Ubuntu, which worked back then, but now, it won't start from the stick, I checked the Bios options and the USB is the first boot device, I really don't know how else I can make it start from the USB.

However, when booting up Ubuntu, it stays on the purple blank screen for a while, then goes frozen on the logo with 5 red dots.I've tried re-configuring xorg with the command line, however I had no luck

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Nvidia 9300M GS - Purple Screen (loading Screen) With 4 Dots
Oct 25, 2010I have been using ubuntu wel a long time now and I know my way around in linux but I recently updated my laptop from ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 10.10 all went fine until I had to restart my laptop. I got a purple screen (loading screen) with 4 dots and a oldskool like font which said: Ubuntu 10.10 Right after that the screen goes purple and its like the system halts I hear no login sound etc just a purple screen. So I did a clean install from the 10.10 live cd which booted perfectly fine and the system was also useable like before. But when I installed the system and rebooted it again no problems.
But when I tried to install the proprietary nvidia driver (the recommended one) I got the same problem again the purple screen. After searching a while on the internet I only found posts which had the problem with ATI cards but my laptop is fitted with a Nvidia Geforce 9300 M card. So I tried several things like removing the xorg.conf (read it somewhere) which ofcourse did not work, and booting in graphics fail safe mode which worked. So the point is in 10.04 and 9.10 I CAN use my video card drivers but not in 10.10 is there a solution to this problem? I am talking about the 32 bit version of ubuntu and here's my system hardware profile:
Intel core 2 duo t7350 @ 2,0 ghz / 3mb l2 cache
2 GB DDR3 ram
160 gb hdd
Nvidia 9300m gs
Chipset: I dont know sorry
Model: Samsung R710
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 "Five Red Dots" Gone During Loading?
Jan 31, 2011After an automatic upgrade on Saturday and Sunday. Now during booting, the screen is black until eventually the desktop appears. Well, almost black-- early on there is a quick flash in the top left corner of the screen, I think it says "acpid client 0.0 disconnected".The desktop comes up and seems to work just fine.
What is it that puts the "Ubuntu" and Five Red Dots on the screen, is it grub2, or is it gdm, or X, or is it some other "in between" process? (Sometimes in the past I have gotten the text-only "Ubuntu 10.10" instead of the graphic 5 dots. At that time I was thinking it was something about grub2 not dealing with my monitor resolution properly. But I'm not so sure)

Jun 12, 2010I cannot install the newest Ubuntu, 64 or 32-bit. On the amd release, the intro with the five red dots appears, then it goes into a white background with multiple light-purple random lines, and quits there. On the 32-bit release, the purple screen appears with no menu, with an error message.My system has an AMD64 processor, two hard disks: one for Windows, one for Linux. I used to have Ubuntu Hardy Heron on it (not the LTS version), so I erased the drive.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Install 10.04 Desktop But The Screen Goes Black After - Dots - Logo ?
Sep 14, 2010Trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 desktop (amd64) on this brand new system:
I connected the Dell ST2410 24" Full HD Widescreen LCD to the HDMI port on the ATI card and Windows 7 boots up just fine.
So then I put in the "ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso" CD in drive and reboot the system. I see the Ubuntu logo with the dots for a while and then the LCD goes black. The LCD reports that there is no signal from the system. The power light in front of the LCD goes from white to amber. The keyboard stops responding.
I power off everything, remove the Ubuntu CD and reboot the system and it works fine again with Windows 7.
The CD has no problems. At boot time, I checked it for defects and it reports no errors. At boot time, I used this same CD to check the system for memory errors. No memory errors. I used the same CD to install Ubuntu on other systems and had no problems.
The 16X DVDRW Drive has no problems. In Windows 7 it can play CDs and DVDs.
General :: Unexplained Red Dots In Screenshot?
May 8, 2011I've been having the weirdest problem with some aspect of my operating system: This is a screenshot of Google Chrome 11.0.696.57 running in Linux 2.6.37.6 with Xorg server 1.9.5 with the FGLRX display drivers 8.841 on a Radeon HD 4870. The display drivers, kernel and X server were not upgraded before this started happening. I have also not modified my xorg.conf.
As you can see, the red pixels show up just about anywhere a bitmap is changed. It has been happening in every program and not just the browser. Sometimes they flicker, always appearing at random.As far as I can tell, the Linux TTY (outside of X) is not affected. The fact that this is capturable in a screenshot rather than just appearing as pixels on the screen is what puzzles me. If you have any information as to what might be causing this, and hopefully how to solve it, (or even a theory) please post below.
Other information:
Slackware 13.37
Running Fluxbox 1.3.1
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit:Switching TTYs (via ctrl-alt-F[1-9]) and back seems to dissipate the effect, at least temporarily.

OpenSUSE Install :: Grub Failure And Now Waiting For Device
Dec 10, 20092 weeks ago, my power supply blew, during close-down. My system is a SUSE Linux 10.1 and openSUSE 11.1 dual boot with WInXP (for those family things). After replacing the power supply my system had no root partition, or loader. It said something like "Invalid Partition table". Grub had gone! So following swerdna's "How to Boot into openSUSE" tutorial I used the openSuse 11.1 install CD rescue option to get to the command prompt, su'd, went to grub and followed the stated commands. So far so good.
However the new grub entry openSUSE (Failsafe) has a problem. It starts to boot in the usual way, but I note fatal Module errors in the boot log relating to sata_nv not found, ide_pci_generic not found etc, and Fatal error inserting edd (/lib/modules/2.6.27.39-0.2-default/kernel/driver/firmware/edd.ko): no such device but uses udev as boot source until Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/ataST3120827AS-4M60PX7V-part6...... and then it exits to /bin/sh.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Install 10.04 - Gave Up Waiting For Root Device
Jul 23, 2010I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and booted to the desktop 2 times. Both times the desktop was so big I could not see any of the icons. The third time and every time I tried to boot again I am getting the following Text Screen warning. "Gave up waiting for root device". I expect I have two different problems, but I can not work on the desktop being to big until I can get this system to boot again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Install / LiveCD Freeze At "scrolling Dots" / Change Boot Options Will Allow It To Work?
May 26, 2011I'm trying to install (L)ubuntu on an old AMD 1.66GHz based HP laptop, to dual boot with Windows XP. However I'm running into an issue that I haven't come across on any other machine before where after selecting "Install Lubuntu" from the main boot menu, it moves to the scrolling dots splash/loading screen and after ~30 sec or a minute it freezes. There is no error, it doesn't reboot or eject the disk even after several hours of sitting on that splash screen, with the dots frozen, no CD activity, and no HDD activity. I get the same result if I try to boot it as a LiveCD as well.
Can someone help diagnose whats going on? Is it possible changing some boot options will allow it to install? I'm not quite sure where to go with this one.

Jul 30, 2010I tried to install Lucid x64. I have a Dell Studio 1555 with a 250gb hard drive. I have it partitioned thusly: A 200GB NTFS partition that I keep all my music/videos/books on. When I have Linux installed, I mount this as /files. I never touch this partition during an OS install. A 100MB EXT4 partition that I created today during the install process. I mount this as /boot.

A 46GB(ish) EXT4 partition that I created today during the install process. I mount this as /.

My computer didn't boot. Instead, after BIOS, I got a blinking text cursor for about ten seconds, and then the following message:

Fedora Installation :: Cannot Install 12 - Laptop - Getting "waiting For Hardware To Initialize Then Restarts"
Apr 30, 2010I recently purchased an Acer Aspire AS5517-5671 laptop [URL] Every time I try to install Fedora 12 it gets to the waiting for hardware to initialize then restarts. (using the F12 DVD) Ive tried both the default installation method and the basic video drive options
Ive successfully install OpenSuSe 11.2 on the laptop with little trouble however. So any idea if there is a work around, or is my laptop not compatible with F12?
Fedora Installation :: Unable To Install 15 - Halts At "waiting For Hardware To Initialize"
Jul 21, 2011I m trying to install fedora 15 on a computer I've just built (which is already running windows 7).
asrock h61m/u3s3 lga 1155 intel motherboard
intel i5-2500 processor
radeon HD 6850 graphics card
After selecting "install a new system or upgrade an existing system" the installation process completely halts at "waiting for hardware to initialize." I looked this up and tried various boot options which frankly, I don't know what exactly they do. Setting "nomodeset" changed nothing as did various others like "noefi". When "ignore_loglevel" was set, the progress went a little further past "waiting for hardware to initialize" stopping after this:
[15.106386] atl1c 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IQR 18
[15.106639] atl1c 0000:05:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[15.139841] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
From what I've gathered from looking this issue up for the past few days, it is probably a graphics card issue. However, I did remove my graphics card and tried using the input directly to the motherboard and had similar issues. I'm not sure what other information is relevant but I can try to relay as much as I can if it is needed.
Ubuntu :: "install" Or "try Without Install" Leads To Ubuntu Logo Screen With Dots Flashing Under - Blank Screen
Aug 10, 20111. Installed Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit for my 64 bit laptop to run alongside windows 7.
2. Installation worked, but had problems booting - it booted sometimes from the grub menu other times didn't
3. Found no solutions for problem so deleted grub and removed the ubuntu OS from disk management.
Since that time I've been attempting to install the long term support (version 10.04) for a while and nothing's happening. The button to "install" or "try without install" leads me to the ubuntu logo screen with the dots flashing under then a blank screen. The memory stick's light doesn't flash either hence it's not working. I've tried the 32 bit and 64 bit version, downloaded from multiple sources and converted the iso using multiple programs.
I then tried the 11.04 version again in 64 bit but that didn't work so I tried what I did in the beginning, the 32 bit version and it works. It feels a bit like after the first install my laptop only wants to install the 32bit 11.04 version and is a bit racist (can i say that?) to the other versions so completely rejects them. Why?
Is there any chance if I try to use a cd to boot that version and it may work from there?
And if I can't run 10.04 for some weird reason technical or w.e, can someone reccommend me another REALLY good version for a beginner which is easy to install and doesn't have too many problems.

These are the plymouth themes available.
I've tried to preview every themes (using this script [URL[....), but they're all the same, just three dots except for "details" and "tribar". I've tried to use one of those three dots theme too and yes the bootsplash is three dots.
I've opened /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spacefun/ and saw that it shouldn't be like that. It should be something with blue background and Debian logo.
