I installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and manipultes Window Behavior from Personal Settings so I can't access to my account while login. I use kde. Now I can access the system from the root login. How can I restablish the kde default settings on my account from the root account?
View 6 RepliesHW config is: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition, MSI 785GTM-E45, 2X 1Gb Kingston HyperX PC2-8500. I have set up GRUB to dualboot openSUSE 11.2 and WindowsXP. Initially i had set up system with defaults: CPU@2600MHz (200X13) and therefore RAM@800MHz. Both openSUSE 11.2 and WindowsXP worked just fine. Memtest86 found no problems.
But after a while i decided to change this setup to: CPU@2500MHz (250X10) and therefore RAM@1000MHz, as it promised better overall performance. And now Windows still boots and works better then before. Memtest86 still can't find any problem. But openSUSE 11.2 hangs at boot. I've suspected cpufreq governor, but changing from Ondemand to Conservative in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq doesn't help.
I've looked around the threads and can't find this exact problem. I'm on a Compaq Presario F700 running openSUSE 11.3. During boot it hangs in three different places, all of which I can clear up by clicking the mouse buttons or moving my finger on the pad.
The first place it hangs is after: doing fast boot ^[^[^[creating device nodes with udev
The second place is INIT version 2.88 booting
The third place is copying static /dev content.
Like I said, I can get through all three and everything else works great, I just hate having to watch my machine boot to catch these.
Here's my problem:
New HP Mini 110. Atom N270. 2Gb RAM. 160Gb HDD
I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 Gnome Live from a USB stick. The installation worked well, but after the first reboot, the graphical loader just hangs with the progress bar having moved only a couple of pixels. Only way to recover is to power-off - CTRL+ALT+DEL does nothing.
When I press 'Esc' on boot, to display the boot messages, I see the boot hangs at the following point:
"Loading drivers, configuring devices:"
trying again, this time adding the boot option "acpi=off" as recommended in another thread, gets me a little further, but the boot now fails at the following point:
"Set System Time to the current Hardware Clock"
Finally, booting in Failsafe mode gets all the way to a text mode login, but this is hardly a long-term work-around.
Has anyone got openSUSE 11.2 working on an HP Mini 110, or at least seen and solved this problem on another system? I can confirm openSUSE 11.2 works fine on my old Acer Aspire One A150, so I assume this is a specific issue on the HP.
During the boot process the machine (Fujitsu Celsius M470) hangs about 4 min at udev:loading drivers. After that it continues and I can work with the OpenSuse 11.2 system without problems.I activated the debug log in /etc/udev/udev.confthen I see that it is doing a lot in that time, at the end I see the message:udevadm settle timeout queue contains: a long list of pci/usb entries (no entries in any log for this)
in the logfile I find:udevd-work[1071]: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device'there is no ipmi. how can I deactivate the loading of this module?

Tried to install Suse 11.4 on Core 2 Duo 3.16 GHz 4 GB RAM PC alongside Win XP.Installation progress was fine. I rebooted. The gecko appeared and the process bar kept going just about 1/10, then froze. I saw that it froze at the Loading AppArmor Mounting security fs on /sys/kernel/security.I tried safe-mode and it also froze at the same step. tried installing suse 11.3 -- and ended up with the same problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know why, but when i first boot openSUSE at the morning in my Aspire it hangs over and over again. I don't know why is this, but the gecko appear, the white bar appear, and moves 1cm, and then, puff no more blinking from the hard drive. Then i force te reboot, over and over until works.The message is: acerhdf: no Aspire One hardware foundWhen i first installed the mini with openSUSE it works perfect for a week, and then start this problem.I have tried with different kernel flavors (like desktop) and still nothing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my OpenSuSE 11.2 system to 11.3 and have experienced the following problem:
My hard drive was encrypted beforehand, and after the upgrade(which went smoothly) will no longer decrypt. I type in my passphrase at the prompt, press enter and the start up process never resumes. I am able to access the filesystem from the Rescue System option in the install disk. What's strange is that this worked smoothly on another laptop of mine.
I have an old laptop (asus M6 ca. 6 year old) with dual boot linux windows. Untill Saturday linux=suse 11.0, Saturday I have made an upgrade to opensuse11.4.
I have boot up/down many times almot everything was working properly except the battery status ... I have thought .. "I'll think about it later".
Then out of the blue on sunday my laptop does not boot anymore, the boot hangs. I then have realized taht the failsafe boot was working properly.... ok I have remembered the wrong battery signal and tried the normal boot + acpi=off .. and .. it boots!
OK, the acpi is the problem. I have never made an update of my BIOS (this means it is now old), but I do not really want to update it now. with suse 11.0 the acpi was working properly, I have never have touched the acpi boot option and I had all acpi functionality working (battery, suspend .. etc)
how to let acpi work (at least for the main features .. batetry, fan speed, HT ... etc)?
It can be that the old kernel boot was using some "specific flags", (an installation is cleverer than an upgrade ..?!?!) but unfortunatelly it looks to me that nothing has remained from the old installation .. so I do not know ...
I have updated to the new kernel that was available from 11.2 and now I cant use my system.
It boots up into kde 4.3.5 and then right when its just finishing it freezes everytime and I hear that last tone of the bootup sound ring continually until I force a shutdown. Anyone else have this issue with the update?
I installed 11.3 first as update from 11.2. The later described error occured.My first approach was to install 11.3 as full install from scratch, the following error did not disappear.System boots fine when doing boot option "confirm" and answer "no" to haldaemon service. Subsequently no usb devices are recognized by the system.
If i do not skip the haldaemon, either in normal as in failsafe mode,haldaemon reports a "NULL Pointer dereference", which is repeated very often.The system finally stops booting, the screen is full with the following three lines, which seemed to be repeated for about a minute.
"BUG: Cannot handle NULL Pointer dereference at 000000049.
IP: [<c02250bc>] no_context+0x6c/0x150
*pde = 000000000
i removed old unused hardware, as i read in a older thread, that this was the cause for a boot up failure with the haldaemon, but nothing changed.
I created an OpenSUSE 11.4 PV guest on XenServer 5.6, and about half the time, it fails to finish booting. it starts all the services, and fails immediately before it would display the login prompt. I've spent hours googling for this problem, and can't find any reference to it anywhere, meaning that I may be the first to experience it.
has anyone else done OpenSUSE 11.4 on XenServer 5.6 and had this problem? were you able to resolve it, and how?
When I boot up my laptop whith memorycards in the slots the boot hangs at "Wating for /dev to be fully populated", "Activating swap" or somewhere in between.If I take out the memorycards so the slots are empty, the laptop boots just fine...Its a CFCard and a SDcard in a PCIMAslot.Does anyone have a clue?Its not a big problem just very annoing to have to take out the memcards all the the time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and a small Windows 7 partition (cuz I can't get Ubuntu to run my MSI TV@nywhere plus card but that's another issue).I can log into Windows fine. If I choose Ubuntu, however, the boot process will go thru a few screen flickers. Then one of two things happens:1) I get a scrambled up pixelated image (not sure what it is) for about 3 second, then it goes into the login screen and I can log in normally.2) I get the scrambled up pixelated image and it hangs. This happens about 4 times out of 5 when rebooting.
I do have an nVidia card and a beta driver (they published it the 21st, I believe, of this month) but this happened long before that. It's happened ever since I installed any of the drivers (I've tried a couple different versions, hoping to fix this) for my card.

I have been using F10 since its release and have not had any trouble until now. During my last session, I ran an update. Today when I boot my desktop (single boot btw), it hangs just after the boot loader. The only sort of warning is:
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, 1pa 0x45E1
I have browsed the forums to no avail. Other have the same issue, but with no posted solution. I have tried disabling NetworkManager, but I think it may be the service that runs after NetworkManager.

Boot-up hangs at black screen with blinking cursor in upper left corner for over 2 minutes before continuing. I select F 14 with grub hit the enter key and go straight to a black screen with blinking cursor. Hitting the esc key does nothing until boot-up actually starts. Afterwards, boot-up is perfect. I had this problem a few upgrades ago and the fix was simple but I can't remember what I did. I've searched every phrase I can think of and can't find a thread that addresses my problem.
I have a F 13 kernel on my machine and have no problem booting it.
Dual-boot, F 14 and windows 7, 64 bit.
I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS. Now when booting it hangs and drops me to a initramfs shell. This is a scsi machine with 3 drives. The error I get before dropping to the shell is that the drive with the uuid in menu.lst does not exist.If I type "exit" at initramfs, it finishes booting in a couple of seconds. The uuid is correct and maybe this is a timeout error of some kind. This is a machine that I would want to reboot without having to walk over and type "exit" at the initramfs prompt.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Maverick Meerkat today, and it was working great on the first boot (which is when I updated the system...). However, since then, it won't boot up. When I looked at the output during boot, I noticed that it hangs when it gets to:

After that, the hard drive access light on my laptop turns off and it just sits there.
I've just had the power cut out while downloading a bunch of updates for Ubuntu 10.4
I haven't updated to the latest release because I'm lazy and have slow internet.
Anyway, once power had been restored, I turned my desktop on to find that my install will not actually load. It boots up and goes to the purple 'Ubuntu' screen with the orange dots, and just sits there (for about 15 minutes so far) without any activity on-screen.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 as I said above, and I'd really like to get a solution that does not include 'start from a fresh installation', since I've had to really wrestle with this install to get my wireless adaptor (USB) and wacom tablet working properly.
After doing a reinstall, and then upgrading, I have a problem: as the boot script comes to ATD, it hangs. Someone suggested doing an interactive start ---- and it worked! Just say no to ATD, and boot goes well. Of course, I don't really want to do that each time. How do I remove it? That is, get it out of the init.d or rc.d boot procedure

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu server hangs when I boot with a wired Ethernet connection. The last thing I see in the console is code...
I have no problem when I boot to a Wifi connection even when Samba and openssh-server are installed. I see the same sequence of lines in the console as I reported initially (including Reloading, Restarting), but then the output continues with
* Starting the Winbind daemon winbind
Both the wired and wireless connections use dhcp. Obviously, I installed the OS using a wired connection, so it worked reliably once. I'm stuck.
P.S. I tried dhclient -r before rebooting. The machine did not shut down correctly and when I forced a reboot it appeared to hang at the usual place. However, after a long delay it proceeded to boot. Perhaps I am observing a delay due to a very long timeout. I will try another reboot now and check again in the morning.
I am looking to speed up my boot time; it is currently around the 2-2.5 minute mark from Grub to desktop (including about 15 seconds at the login screen while I type my password).
I have forced ureadahead to reprofile, and have rebooted a few times until the boot time is fairly stable/consistent.
No xorg errors and only one warning ((WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.)

I think I've got a graphics/sound compatibility issue--both are onboard, but have no idea what to do. 10.04 will run in recovery low-graphics mode but won't load otherwise.
I have an old Gateway MX6030 / MA2 from 2005, 1.4Ghz Celeron, 1024 MB RAM. It had 9.04 on it. I got it out, thinking I could use it to store and remotely access research files for Mendeley and backup other data from my primary machines. I was running into wireless connectivity programs, so rather than fix it I figured I'd upgrade to through to 10.04 and plugged it into the router. 9.10 was a little choppy with the sounds when booting up, but worked. 10.04 won't boot properly. It gets to the Ubuntu splash screen with the little dots, which all turn red, then goes straight to a grey screen. The hard disk stops thrashing, and that's it.
If I hit ESC to bring up the grub menu, I can enter recovery mode and use the low-graphics startup to get into 10.04. Sound is still choppy on startup, but wireless, video, etc. all work. I tried to use a USB bootdisks with both 10.04 and Xubuntu 10.04 and got the same issue. The Ubuntu live boot can get to the menu but freezes after I make a selection. Xubuntu just brings up a low-res "XUBUNTU" image and freezes right after that. Hard disk stops turning, and the machine stops accessing the USB disk. Nothing happens.
Is there a way I can access 10.04 low graphics as the default boot? Is this a driver issue? This is a beginner question, obviously, and really, my goal here is just to be able to access the machine remotely so I can keep files for Mendeley in a single place rather than across two machines and three OSes. I don't know if I have the time or patience to learn how set up another machine as an FTP server to try and install through that route.
I just recently installed ubuntu 10.04 and it works great! I got it to work with both of my printers, scanner, and zune! The problem is occasionally when I boot up ubuntu it stops and displays "[drm:rs400_gart_adjust_size] *ERROR* Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)"

I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on my MacBookPro7,1 (dual boot with reffit). Everything works fine. Today I closed my laptop and open it later again and saw a black screen with a blinking cursor. I was not able to send any keys to it. So I powered down (off button) it.
After Booting It I saw some kernel message, no errors, and then it stops and everything is freezed. Again no keystrokes can be send. The last kernel message is something about scsi. I tried to remove the "recordfail" in the grub2 menu but it doesn't help.
I loaded Ubuntu onto my USB using the USB installer, and then attempted to create a persistent drive (>4GB) according to the link :http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-...per-partition/
But when I boot from the USB it hangs. I am new to Ubuntu, so I cannot give a lot of details.
When booting from the USB, it goes to the setup screen where I select boot from the USB. A list of commands appear on the screen (it's too quick,to read) and then it arrives at the intro screen with the Ubuntu symbol. On this screen it hangs.
Any suggestions on how to fix this.
I wrote the ISO to a USB drive I had using the Universal USB Installer, and I put it into my new Acer Aspire One D255 netbook, and set it up so that it would be the first thing it booted to. I got past the ISOLinux loading screen, and now it's just hanging at a black screen with a bit of text:

Anyway, it's just sitting there. The USB stick isn't doing anything, it's not flashing or jittering, it's just slowly pulsating like it usually is when it's not doing anything.
