View 3 RepliesI'm currently running 9.10 and am anticipating upgrading to 10.04 when it is released next week. I am however, running several packages from PPA's that were simply not working well at the versions included with 9.10 (I know specifically the 64-bit version of Flash and Wine are setup this way).
Since these installs are out of the scope of the official Ubuntu sources, how are these handled when I upgrade? More importantly, since some of these packages were just installed as a temporary fix until 10.04 came out, for some of them I'd like to remove the PPA version and reinstall the default version (since for several of them the 10.04 version has caught up to where it needs to be). Is there any way to identify all packages installed from PPA's on the system?

I want to distinguish between Live mode and running from installed HD, and do some processing in boot up script. FYI, in grml, the /etc/grml_cd file only exit in Live mode file system; no such file if running from installed HD.

View 4 Replies View Relatedif my PC lags a bit it crashes!But I wouldn't think it would be an ordinary crash.Earlier today I installed Xubuntu 10.04onto my PC. Well, The installation was smooth and I was able to get it installed. Then all of a sudden when I was looking aroundmy PC got caught in a little lag.. And when it lagged this black screen came up and it said
"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] "
"Checking Battery State [ OK ] "
Then That screen disappears and these Straight gray bars come up and they cover the top of my screenAnd they just blink! I figured it might be a glitch so I went to go eat dinner.About 20-30 minutes later I come back and there still blinking.I tryed rebooting the system and trying again and it got cought in a little lag and the
"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] "
"Checking Battery State [ OK ] "
Came back up and it disappeared again and the bars came back!I tried reinstalling Xubuntu 10.04 but it came out the same result.I tried updating the system cause when I installed it it said I had 164 updates waiting.

I recently decided to partition my laptop wholly to ubuntu, so i installed ubuntu without any problem, then i logged on for the first time and i installed the driver to my monitor (nvidia) and i did sudo apt-get update which made me get all sorts of updates, untill the updating stopped at about halfway asking me to reboot the system.
I rebooted the system, but no matter what i do, if i run it in recovery mode or not, i always get stuck on this piece of code on a black screen:
Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16

Also, please no answers like "hav u tried liek reinstalling ubuntu lolz?" because i wouldn't bother posting this thread if i considered doing that -_-'
It seems that watching an embedded video crashes my system every once in a while. Is there any way to figure out what is causing the crashes or fix it?
Some extra info - The cpu usage jumps to 45-50 percent when a embedded video is playing.
I seem to be having a problem on the new Kernel (2.6.35-23) with the system randomly freezing.
I have installed a number of things in recent days leading up to this problem, but when i boot with the old kernel i don't seem to have any issues. From this i am guessing its the new kernel.
The freezing seems (although i am not sure) to be worse when Rhythmbox is running. When it happens everything freezes, the playing song skips, replaying the same one second of music over and over. All the hotkeys stop and the mouse cursor stops responding.
I have seen people talking about system logs to look at system crashes but i don't know how to show those. I also doubt my ability to interpret them.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) on an Intel Atom 525 motherboard. I have a 5-bay SATA enclosure connected to my system through a Syba SD-SATA2-2E2I PCI card (uses the SIL3124 chipset). Under small to moderate load (transfer speed: ~25 Mb/sec), this setup works perfectly. Under heavy load (transfer speed: ~40 - 70 Mb/sec), the system crashes. By crash I mean I loose SSH connectivity, I can't ping the system, etc. The only solution is a hard reset. Initially, I thought this was a SAMBA problem so I logged into the system and tried doing a copy directly from the SATA enclosure to the system disk (connected directly to the motherboard). After 100 GB copied (at ~75 Mb/sec), the system crashed. My question: I am fairly new to Linux and Ubuntu. How would I go about diagnosing this problem?

I assume that this is because the system wasn't unmounted properly but I haven't been able to find the best way to solve this problem.
Occasionally, kwin will crash and recover itself, but afterwards, my system starts using GTK notifications (yellow popup bubbles with the pie graph countdown timer). I've tried restarting knotify4 to no avail.

I recently had to power off my Centos 5.5 box (ungraceful shutdown). When it came back up, three apps popped up: "Welcome to the Gnome Help Browser" (which is Yelp). In another desktop, Konqueror is waiting for a login. This happens every time I restart my system. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop this. Every time I've shut down my system since I had to bring it down hard, it's been gracefully and neither of those apps was running.

I am working along, and screen goes black, or just freezes... the lights on my laptop start blinking and becomes everything becomes unresponsive.
I have noticed it is usually when I am Using Firefox and Flash content. I have also noticed it happens when using Deluge, but it usually takes 5 minutes to kick in.
I am using firefox at the moment, but I am sure if I load up a ..... video, it will lock up on me again.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI tend to get constant crashes when using internet browsers ( Google Chrome and Firefox ) basically the application hangs not moving in any way, then eventually completely freezes up, the system then locks up and finally crashes.
Upon system re-start I get "Read Error" at boot ( No further information, it literally just says "Read Error" ).
It is sometimes fixed by going into the BIOS and select "Hold on No Error".
I tried installing OpenBios to see if using different BIOS firmware would resolve the issue, but the OpenBios install failed ....so no dice there either.
I am trying to work out if it is a hard drive problem or if it is purely a problem with Fedora.
It was working fine for a couple of months and when it does boot up ... the system works fine, ( Until another crash ).
It seems like the internet browsers crash the system and then the system crashes and can then no longer remember how to boot up.
what this could be that could be software based....if not it looks like I will need a new hard-drive.
My system just crashed and I had to reboot. The only interesting message I have found in the logs before the crash was :
Code:

I have a custom compiled kernel which seems to work OK. However, during boot, I get:

System continues to boot OK and everything seems to work fine as I expect. I am not sure what the above causes. It looks related to USB, but I am not sure. lsusb gives:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

As the title says, i was in the middle of the upgrade, when the system froze then a black screen with the text similar to: starting apache ..... starting ..... ... in that way, but with more text, i could not remember the exact details. When i boot up, it say /dev not found, and other errors, and a weird black screen that seems to be loading modules appears, but never finishes and starts to act strange. Any way i can get this fixed without just copying my data and reimaging my partition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell studio running ubuntu for two years now. I had ubuntu 10.04, but a few days ago, the update manager started to bug me that some stuff don't work properly and that I need to to a partial upgrade. I postponed that for a while, and all worked fine, but I finally had sometime and clicked "yes", all began collapsing:
1) the update manager crashed while updating.
2) I rebooted and ran it again. same crash at the same stage.
3) I decided, god knows why, to do a full upgrade to 10.10, which also crasehd.
Now it won't even boot. It always get stuck at a line saying "no IPv6 routers present" or something of that sort. when I switch off manually the wireless switch on the laptop, the boot gets stuck a bit earlier, on a line that says: "laptop login:"
EDIT: I just remembered something which might be important: I had a hibernation problem on the upgrade to 10.04, so I played around a bit with that. now it uses libgcrypt, and I remember I set up something manually then, but I can't remember what.
I've recently installed release 11.04 and am trying to get wireless networking operational. I'm using a netgear wg111t usb wireless adapter. I've installed ndiswrapper and have got the netgear windows drivers installed ok. My problem is when I try to connect wirelessly I get a system crash, think it tends to be called a kernel panic in linux. The network connection is confirmed and about 5-10 seconds later the crash happens. I've updated the linux kernel to 2.6.39-0-generic but thats not helped.
I can connect with a cable but that is somewhat limiting.
