SUSE :: 10.2 Won't Startup - Error Message "Could Not Start Kstartupconfig. Check Your Installation"
Mar 16, 2010
I foolishly changed the mount point of a partition on a HDD which Linux was not in fact using, and now when I try to start up I get a message box stating:- Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation.
How do I recover the situation. I do not have an up to date recovery disc. I do have a full bootup disc of Suse 11.2 - could I use the opportunity to update without losing all my personal files, or should I use the old 10.2 disks? The first essential is to get something back up and working.

I'm trying to get OpenSuse 11.2 to dual boot with windows 7. I have "/home" on a separate partition formated in NTFS so that I can share it with windows 7. However when i try to boot OpenSuse, I can't seem to login. It comes up with "kstartupconfig error 3". I can only login to my account through consol login. I can login graphically as root though. I'm thinking it's something to with NTFS and permissions as when I view the permissions of my home folder it comes up as owner=root & group=user, I cant seem to change the owner back to me though I can't change any of the permission settings for that. The reason I think it NTFS causing the trouble is because the root directory is on an ext4 partition and root logs in fine.
Also I cant seem to boot Windows 7 either even though it shows up on the grub menu. so i cant check the partition from there either. but thats not my main concern I want to at least get OpenSuse working properly then I work on getting win7 to boot.

I had to register with a new username, because I could not remember my logon details and have since changed ISP so could not get details sent, anyway that aside to the problem.
I upgraded to 11.04 and all went well (hence posting here and not in the Upgrade section) and it is running fine, well until yesterday.
I ran the update manager as I usually do when first entering Ubuntu and it did an update but then gave me an error message about file permissions and to check my connection (which was connected OK).It has also affected the Software Installer, and now I can not install any new software.
Is this a generic problem with the latest update or is it just my Dell Inspiron 1545 please?

It seems to be related to some kind of gcc library missing, but I went into YAST and I've installed the kernel sources, headers, devel, and a bunch of other things I found in various forums. I consistently get an error message about GLIBC_2.11 not found, even if I just do gcc -v. Contents of config.log:

Started slackpkg upgrade-up and went to bed. Woke up to find the power had gone out during the night. The computer booted up, but displayed a message that said something to the effect of, "Error occurred during root file system check. You will be given the option of doing maintenance......"I can get to a command prompt, but regardless of what I do a message pops saying it can't find libblkid.so.1

I just installed ubuntu 10.10. Everything is fine so far except that after the kernel boots I receive the following message:
The disk drive for /media/drv0 is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
After I press S everything goes normally. How can I get rid of this message?

I have a single harddisk partitioned with Ubuntu Maverick and Windows 7 installations. I installed Windows first and then Ubuntu, after resizing partitions and adding a new one for Ubuntu. Win7 did not appear in the Grub2 boot menu. I added it (sda3), but on rebooting, I get the message "BOOTMGR is missing/Press Ctrl+Alt_Del to restart".
I understand that Win7 might have put its boot manager in another partition, and sda1 had FAT. I added sda1 as another grub2 entry, but when I try that, I get the error message "Windows Boot Manager/ Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause... Status 0xc0000225/ Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." Attached are fdisk and parted outputs; and the grub2 files I created. How do I get Windows 7 to boot up?

So ive got a Suse server up and running. It is connecting to a clearcase server, so i want to mount the remote filesystem as part of startup, as this is generally rebooted when im not around.I would normally add something to /etc/init.d and put the shortcut to it in the appropriate runlevel (in this case 3). Tried that. Didnt work.
Realised the init script needed to have the LBS stuff at the start, so put that in, and used insserv to add the script. I used required-start set to $ALl.This successfully created the init script with S20, and i eneabled it with chkconfig.

So I closed out X with ctrl+alt+backspace, and when I did startx it showed the Nvidia splash screen like usual, then shows for just a second that loading splash screen that KDE does. Then a little box pops into the top left corner that says "Could not start kdeinit4. Please check installation." I hit okay on the box, it takes me back to the terminal. I try again, same result. I reboot. Same result. So I use xwmconfig to change to enlightenment, which boots up fine. So I ctrl+alt+backspace out and retry KDE again, with the same problem.
This is the first time I've closed out KDE in over a week, so I guess its possible that anything I've done over that time may have somehow broken it. I hadn't noticed any problems til now. The only reason I did it this time was because I'd changed the KDE plasma theme and I wanted to watch the new one boot up. I'm typing on the same computer and the same Slackware installation right now, just running E instead of KDE.

I've recently installed Fedora 10 on a space computer. It works fine until I tried to install Mplayer.
As i've read on a number of sites that there is a dependency problem, I went through loads of websites looking for a fix. I found nothing that would work.
Now i'm stuck with a problem that i think might be worse. If I start a .RPM I get the following message.
Now when i try to install other things it's hit and miss, I tried to install VLC and got the same message.
I've got no idea what i've done to get to this point and i don't really want to reinstall fedora 10 again.

I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on xp,but, after waiting around 2 hours per instalation I received a error message that says:" unbuntu installer : and error occurred: coercing to unicode: need string or buffer, none Type found. for more information see log file C:1customerlocals-1 empwubi-10.10-rev197.109. I tried on one particion make just for it then I even tried on xp on C: I even put it on a pendrive but my bios is old and do not provide for usb booting. The other thing I have to try is making a boot cd but for one reason or the other , my recorder do not want to recornized my cds- rw and right now I do not have any regular blank cds . That will be my next step. Note: Ubuntu appears installed on the the control panel "add or removed programs" but not in "all programs" list. I'm a novice on this so maybe the answer was posted but I couldn't find it. Looking ahead to try it and be part of the linux team.

Update-notifier told me there were updates today and I installed them. Among them were some for chromium (the browser, not the game ). After the update I couldn't start the browser. I tried starting from terminal and got: "Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-minimal.c: 138: realloc: Assertion `ptr == alloc_last_block' failed!" "I haz a fail!", I thought to myself and then tried rebooting and then reinstalling. Neither worked. This is on a 64-bit machine. Everything else works as expected. Using Firefox now, but I want my chromium-browser as well.

I am new to Linux and wow, it did not take me long to run into a huge snag. I am running Suse Linux Enterprise 10 on a laptop and by some strange reason the computer froze from overheating and I was forced to shutdown improperly. Once I restarted it booted right to the command prompt when it usually instead boots to the default user. I managed to get gnome running using the "startx gnome" command. But when gnome loads, none of my normal extentions load like my wireless driver, the sound driver, etc. how to restore gnome to automatically load the default user on start up or fix any other damage I might have done? lol

I wanted to try openSuse alongside with Windows Vista and Ubuntu. During the installation Suse wanted to delete my Windows partition. Of course I denied and stopped this installation, but now when starting my computer, the boot menu gives Vista, Ubuntu and Suse as a choice, but if I choose Vista, the Suse installation process is starting instead of Windows, there is no way to get Windows started (fortunately Ubuntu is working so that I can write this message).How can I get Windows starting?
