I just installed Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop. The install went fine, but after it tried to restart, it wouldn't boot into Ubuntu. I was reading a thread about someone with a similar problem, and replied in that thread as well, but no responses to me yet. One person said to go here and run the script and post the output. I did that, and this is what I got code...

My hard disk is a 40 gb seagate drive with 3 logical partitions - C (Win 98), D (Data), E (Win XP Home). Yesterday, I decided to format Win 98 partition and install Fedora 11 on it. I used Live USB, custom partitioned for /, /boot and swap. Installation went fine until the Add/Delete boot screen came when I got multiple Unable to mount partition errors. Then I added Win XP (which was on sda6) and restarted the system. When the system booted, I selected Win XP but it didn't do anything. It showed blank screen and then reverted to grub boot loader screen. Then I selected Fedora time and completed installation and it works fine but XP doesn't boot.
Thinking something might have gone wrong, today I reinstalled Fedora. I chose "Install over previous Linux" and this time the installation went smoothly without any errors. However it still doesn't let me boot into Win XP. It gives a "Booting into WinXP in 3/2/1 seconds" and then goes blank and keeps repeating that message.
This is the result of fdisk -l code...
I have repeatedly installed from CD & each time after reboot, I get an error..

I do not have knowledge of ubuntu Nvidia drivers etc. because my previous installations (ie. 9.04) worked OK. I do not have a dual boot HDD, just a clean install.
By the way, I can upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 using the add/remove thing & everything works.
Recently i installed kubuntu. i tried to install opera,chrome but i got error messages like dependency not satisfiable :libgconf 2-4

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my custom tower. The live CD loads, I select Install Ubuntu, I get to the screen with the system checks, I hit install and... crash.
I'm guessing it's a hardware issue as I have it installed on 3 other computers no problem. Here are my specs code...
I've tried the 64bit and 32 bit versions, same thing. I tried installing it with Wubi, I reboot and it crashes shortly into the install. Is any of this hardware incompatible? Any suggestions I can try?
I recently installed Ubuntu on my system...I downloaded Vuze .tar.bz2 and tried to install it..I also extracted the package as directed in the readme file.....
The readme also instructed to "Start Azureus by running the script named 'azureus'; ex. "./azureus" "..I did the steps..Goggling didn't help me much either..I tried running certain instructions as mentioned on various on the Internet but nothing helped..
I DLed 10.10 iso and burned it to cd. When I try to boot with cd, it starts up fine, I get the Ubuntu logo with rolling dots, but after a few mins it freezes (with logo still on screen). I have been running Ubuntu on this comp for years
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this problem where the 10.10 LiveCD 64-bit works (as in I get full resolution display and no video issues at all). But after install, the OS boots successfully but there's no display. I know it's successful because I was able to login in the dark (sound works).
Here's what I have:
HP m9340f (NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS with HDMI)
46" Sharp connected via HDMI
Windows 7, works fine.
Here's what I tried with no luck:
1. CTRL-ALT-F1 still doesn't show anything on screen, no terminal
2. Connected via VGA
3. Connected another 17" monitor via VGA, rebooted
4. Added vga=789 in grub before booting
The weird thing is that I had 10.04 before and it was working for a while then it suddenly stopped working. I figured I'd wait until 10.10 but I now have the same issue. I haven't tried 32-bit... I can give that a shot in a bit.
I trying install fedora 12 in text mode, but every time the system crash, i cant install in text mode. Someone have one solution ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I just installed Karmic onto my netbook that used to have Jaunty on it. As usual I did a system update after the clean install finish. In that update it included a kernal update to 2.6.31.19. As far as I know the update went fine.So when I restarted, after the usual bios screen, it just freezes. Some gibberish comes up and nothing happens. I did a hard reset. Then when bios came up again, I chose boot option, and then clicked to boot from my hard drive. GRUB came up (finally) and I chose the old kernal and it booted fine.
Just for good measure I tried booting from 2.6.31.19 and the same strange freezing thing that I mentioned in paragraph two happened.
I have a Dell Workstation T3400, dual core 2.6Ghz CPU. Recently I upgraded UBUNTU from 9.10 to 10.04. After the upgrade, it takes long time to boot up. First shows a blinking hyphen, then a screens with options to enter configuration utility appears. Then says GRUB loading but again blinking hyphen stays for almost a minute. Finally, I get the log in screen after about 2 minutes.... I checked some other related posts but could not find any solution that worked for me.

I'm dualbooting Win7 and Mint 10, each on their own disk. Mint will not boot. It was working fine a couple days ago, but now only Windows is working.
When I tried to boot Mint recovery mode some of the last lines were code...
I think that it could be a GRUB (GRUB 2) problem because when I booted up this morning GRUB did not have the 5-second timeout it was supposed to have. Minor things like this have happened to me in the past � once, by itself, it changed the default boot to memtest, and I had to change it back with the StartUp-Manager.
I would try using the StartUp-Manager or running sudo grub-mkconfig with my live CD, except that my live CD will not boot. The drive seems to be fine, because I just tested it with The Fellowship of the Ring.
The only thing I have changed recently (to my knowledge) is my CMOS battery, yesterday. Windows is working fine, and it can see the drive that Mint is on (meaning the drive IS connected and does exist!).
Windows has some files I need and when I try to boot it hangs at a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I checked grub.cfg and this entry was in there code...
Windows won't boot on Grub after I just updated Ubuntu. I tried to follow the solutions to other people who have had similar problems, but I can't get them to work for me. I am assuming you will want to see this code...

I've seen quite a few posts regarding very similar issues that people were having. None of them seem to have a clear cut solution.
Some posts mentioned about the wrong video drivers, however I've been using the same video drivers for a couple of months now and never experienced this problem.
I looked at /etc/rc.local and all it has in it is 'touch /var/lock/sybsys/local'
I also looked at the file above and there is nothing in it.
Any ideas/solutions? Everything was working just fine the other day. so I'm completely baffled.
I've decided to install Fedora 14 on my Late 2008 Macbook Pro (model 5,1), but when attempting to boot from the live cd, all I get is the main boot menu, then I briefly get a grey screen with a blinking white cursor, then the screen just goes black. The computer is still running, and I can still hear the cd drive, but I have no video. I've seen the tutorials for installing Fedora 14 on a 5,1 macbook pro, and I know it's been done successfully with no mention of such issues.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLet me start off with the usual: I'm a linux newbie but am doing pretty good so far with google by my side. I've come across a problem I cant seem to find an answer to:
I just got a CyberPower 685 AVR UPS. I Installed their power panel software and it works great in CentOS 5.4. When I reboot, the system hangs right after the "Red Hat Nash 5.6..... Starting" message. I've left it for 20 mins so far and it's still hanging. If I unplug the USB data/shutdown cable, within about 10 seconds it starts detecting hard drives and continues booting...
Ive even returned the UPS for another to see if it was bad, and it still is giving me problems.
I'm experiencing some rather severe problems after updating my Centos 5.4 system (Virtual Xen guest). What happens is that when the system boots it complains about missing .so files which prevents about 50% of the services installed from running.
I'm suspecting that it has something to do with selinux for two reasons: 1. The first services to go down complains about the security context of some files, and 2. selinux was kinda the reason I decided to update in the first place as it was disabled when it shouldn't be (enabled in system-config-securitylevel, disabled when running sestatus).
The whole boot-sequence ends with alot of "INIT: Id 'X' respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"-messages (including all runlevels) before it goes stale, and I can do nothing.
The server in question had undergone very little tinkering from my part, pretty much none at all, the only services installed after installation was apache, mysql and webmin.
Details:
CentOS 5.4 is installed on both the host and guest.
The guest runs on an lvm-partition.
I have two other vm's(also CentOS) running just fine, altough I'm a bit weary of updating them .
Attached are some screenshots of the boot-process.
I hope some one here can share some insight on this problem. It's making me pretty nervous seeing that our whole network is run by CentOS-installations (not that I'm certain that CentOS is the culprit).
I have a Realtek WN511b wireless card with a BM4321 chip.
It runs on the wl driver but when I boot the system the card won't install.
With help (I am noob) we have figured out that the ssb and the b43 drivers are installing even though I have them blacklisted. I have seen similar problems described elsewhere but no real fixes.
I can boot the system (Dell d630) then pop the card out and re-insert, enter password and it connects no problem.
It would be nice if it simply installed on boot.
Wondering if anyone had a solution?
I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and I am getting stuck at the language screen... Yep the language screen that comes up as soon as you boot off the CD I have not gotten very far and I am already hitting problems... I am using a USB keyboard but it is working in the bios I don't know if this could be the problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just installed 9.10 on an old Dell C610 laptop as I had to install a new hard drive and didn't have the old XP licence number or COA!
Anyway, the Ubuntu install all seemed to go ok but I'm having a major problem with the display not following what I'm doing and not updating as windows are opened and closed. Am I likely to be doing something silly or have I got a hardware conflict somewhere. Where should I start?
I have spent 20 minutes looking and can't find the solution. I just installed 10.10 and want 11.04 now. Don't ask me why I didn't just install Natty Narwhal, but I didn't. Now, when I run the update manager, it does not mention the update to 11.04. So I run check, nothing. I open the settings, check every option I can because what the heck, and nothing.

I had to re-install openSUSE11.2 but I kept having either black screen or mouse cursor freeze. Using sax2 to change video driver didn't work whether "ati", "radeon" or "vesa" was selected. I finally came across a solution: 1. Log in at run level 3 with acpi=off, no apic,F3=vesa, then become root 2. YAST -> Miscellaneous -> Live Installer, etc. 3. Reboot 4. If black screen, force a reboot and repeat step1 5. Autoconfig restart? Yes 6. When installation is finished, reboot 7. Boot option: 3 acpi=off noapic F3(vesa) 8. Login as normal user then become root 9. #YAST > Online Update 10> #YAST > Edit Bootloader
11. Edit Grub menu: Add the following to the end of the kernel line (under heading: kernel options...): vga=792 acpi=off noapic. Note that vga=792 is from a LILO config file example, which has the side note:"vga=792 #you need to do this so it boots up in a sane state". I came across this from "Framebuffer HOWTO: Using framebuffer devices on Intel platforms" Your Grub menu may also show vga=0x317 but this is because you might have selected 1024x768 screen resolution;it has nothing to do with vga=792. Vga=792 is what essentially solves the black screen problem.
