Ubuntu :: 10.04 Not Booting Anymore All Of A Sudden?

Sep 10, 2010

My computer had been running just fine a couple of days in a row. I had a problem and decided to reboot. But all of a sudden Ubuntu does not boot anymore!

The error shown is:

Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. No init found Try passing init=bootarg
Under it it shows
Busybox v13.3
(initramfs) [etc])

[then a couple of rows mentioning removable disks which is my card reader. And finally just a blinking _ sign.

Fedora :: XP Not Booting Anymore - Grub Started

Oct 3, 2010

I recently installed Fedora as dual boot with XP on my netbook, but then decided to uninstall it again. I probably did it in the wrong way because everything is messed up. I installed Fedora in a separate partition, so I just deleted that partition. Now when I rebooted my netbook, it starts GRUB.

I get some sort of command prompt like cmd.
grub> {here I can type commands}

I tried several stuff to get everything normal again. First I made a bootable USB which starts the XP Recovery console. Then I used these commands :

Code:
fixboot
fixmbr

I reboot, and there it is again ... the GRUB. How can I get Windows XP working again? I didn't touch the C: boot partition, so the XP installation should still be intact.

General :: Multi-booting, Can't Boot Windows 7 Anymore?

Aug 2, 2011

I have Linux Mint and Windows 7 installed on my laptop, and recently tried tinkering with EasyBCD, to use the Windows multi-boot loader instead of grub. Well, that didn't work out too well, because I ended up with the Windows boot loader with two options, Windows 7 and Linux Mint, however the Linux Mint entry just redirected me to grub, which wasn't what I intended.

I tried to put things the way they were, with grub as the only boot loader, and figured I'd do so by setting EasyBCD to skip the multi boot screen and going straight to the Linux Mint entry, which corresponds to grub.Well, now when I boot, I get the grub screen, but if I select the Windows 7 entry, it just redirects me back to grub, so I can't access Windows 7 right now. What can I do to fix this? Can I edit the Windows boot loader from within Linux?

CentOS 5 :: CentOS5 With Clustered Lvm2 : Not Booting Anymore (VolGroup00 Not Activated)?

Sep 13, 2010

I "inherited" a cluster of 2 systems with XenCluster, based on CentOS 5.5. About five weeks ago I ran the (long overdue) yum update, which crashed in the middle of updating on both nodes, so I had to reinstall all those packages by hand and had to re-enable their startup. So both systems are already in the not-ideal state.

One system rebooted itself during my absence and now won't boot anymore. It seems to boil down to clustered lvm not being activated in the initrd and therefore no VolGroup00 available, which contains the root. The other volume group has good reasons to be clustered but the root does not need to be. But I can't fix it from a rescue CD, every time the error comes up that the volume group is clustered.The exact error display at boot is at

http://people.cs.uu.nl/koos/screen-20100913140414.png

what do I do to either fix the startup to ignore VolGroup00 being clustered OR change the status of VolGroup00 to non-clustered?I notice the other system has this too so my best guess is that I'll have the same problem in a bigger way when this system reboots too. Hoping for no power failures...Relevant versions of stuff:

centos 5.5
kernel 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5xen
mkinitrd-5.1.19.6-61.el5_5.2
lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5_5.6
lvm2-cluster-2.02.56-7.el5_5.4

(from the still running system)

Ubuntu :: Eclipse Won't Start All Of A Sudden / Fix It?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sudden Automatic Log-off?

Aug 4, 2010

On one of our Lucid systems, we encounter frequent automatic log-offs - without recognizing any reason: The only common fact appears to be at least one further user being logged in (with graphic desktop).With no advance warning, the active user's screen first goes black, shortly after that, the KDM log-in screen (with the name of the automatically logged-off user) appears. Where the currently active user is lucky, it is not his own name and he can simply switch back to his desktop...Something in fact appears to crash: Programs that were running for the automatically logged-off user are obviously simply killed. (OOo next time starts with rebuilding lost documents, KMail forgets about currently edited eMails.)

Ubuntu :: Sudden Duplicity GPG Error

Oct 23, 2010

I've been using Duplicity for ages and this morning it suddenly produces the following error:

Code:

I can't figure out what happened. Yesterday I did a successful full backup (as I do each week). This command was to add the usual incremental. I've not changed the scripts, source, destination or GPG keys. I turned up verbosity to see what it was doing, but an obvious error didn't leap out.

Ubuntu :: Steady RAM Increase, Then Sudden Drop?

Aug 7, 2010

I've noticed a strange pattern with my 10.04 ubuntu x64 install with 2 GB RAM. Suppose I'm using about 1 to 1.5 GB RAM (normal). Over a timespan of several minutes RAM usage will gradually & steadily creep upwards, until for no apparent reason the system will shed ~500MB in a couple seconds, & then this process will repeat itself indefinitely.

Ubuntu :: All Of A Sudden Internet Stopped Working

Dec 12, 2010

My brothers computer uses Ubuntu. All of a sudden the internet stopped working. So I did some research online and found a site that looked like it would work because the comments were good. I did what it said by removing the network manager and then i had to re-install it blah blah blah. Long story short his computer is still without internet. I tried to download the network manager on my computer and install it on his computer. I dont think it worked.If anyone could help me find the correct network manager to download for his computer and then help me get internet back onto his computer.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 : Sudden Shutdown When Battery At 43% Level?

Jan 17, 2011

I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP dv2000 laptop with 2GB RAM. I see a strange problem with my system. When running on battery and the level hits about 43% (+- 1%), the system shuts down suddenly. No warning and no information in logs either. Temperature of both cores are below 50 C. I have tried cleaning the dust withing the laptop chasis but no progress.

I have done quite some research on this and other forums but haven't found anybody else with similar problem.

Ubuntu :: Sudden Loss Of Eth0 Connectivity

Dec 7, 2010

I have some boxes and laptops connected to the same lan. While messing around with xorg.conf and doing a couple of restarts, one of the boxes suddenly lost internet access.The other machines can ping each other and access the internet (the boxes through eth0 and the laptops through wlan0). That one box, however, cannot ping the others, nor the router. Both ends of the internet cable are plugged in, and there are the usual continuous green and orange lights on the box end, telling me that everything is fine with the hardware connection.ifconfig gives me:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

[code]..

I have no idea what happened, since the lights indicate it is not a hardware problem. It must be a problem with that particular machine, since the others are fine. However, I have not changed any of the network config files.

Ubuntu Networking :: Sudden Loss Of Wireless Connection

Mar 16, 2010

For most of today I had my internet connection dropping out on me intermittently. I assumed it was a provider issue, as it has been unreliable in the past. After it dropped out for good, and I could not print through network, I realised it was not a provider issue. All the other computers in the house were connected, including another ubuntu box. Only the MacBook Pro 5,5 was not able to connect. The network manager indicated I was connected to the network, throughout the whole time.

A number of restarts with the kernel I normally use (2.6.31-19) including one in recovery mode, yielded no change, but a restart with the 2.6.31-20 kernel resulted in connectivity. Finally, perhaps by chance, wireless started to work again on the 2.6.31-19 kernel, after I once booted into the Mac OS, and then back into Karmic. How I might go about diagnosing, obviously in hindsight, what happened? I suppose I should look in the log files, but I have no idea where exactly, and what to look for.

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop All Of A Sudden Stopped Working

May 31, 2010

I recently setup an ssh tunnel and wrote a script to connect to my Home PC from my laptop no matter where I am.

I have previously tested this on my own network and multiple other networks while I was over at my friends houses, and it worked completely fine.

So just now I decided to use it after about a day or two after not using it and now nothing happens. Normally it prompts me for a password and takes about 5 seconds then I am in.

I'm using openssh, vinagre, and dyndns for the hostname. Here is the script:

Ubuntu :: Sudden Low Graphics Mode - Screen Not Detected

Jul 17, 2010

While using Ubuntu I have had few problems and it has generally just worked. One problem I have had is that while using my computer on occasion everything will be stopped and there will a message against a black background telling me the graphics card and screen could not be detected I have several options which are something like.

Run Ubuntu in low graphics mode for one session (which brings me to a normal login)
Run Ubuntu from a console (or something like that, it goes to a console)
Troubleshoot the error (I'm new to Ubuntu and never tried it)
Restart X (I never used it)

I think I missed one or two. "Run Ubuntu in low graphics mode for one session" works for me, but it is still a nuisance that I have to login again. It doesn't happen that often, not everyday at least and happens at random. I could have been using it for over an hour so I wonder why it suddenly can't detect the graphics card or monitor.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 GRUB Doesn't Boot After Sudden Restart?

Sep 14, 2010

I had Ubuntu 10.04 on my 500GB Samsung drive. Today it suddenly stopped responding, not only X11 but the whole system (Ctrl + alt + f1 didn't worked either) so I had to force restart it. Since then, I can't boot it again - right after memory test and general motherboard splash, the white line cursor goes about 3 lines down of topline and stops there. After about 5 minutes there's still no GRUB menu. Finally I had reinstalled the system (which is not really much pain since my "home" was on other partition than the system, but it didn't helped - still the same. On the other hand, booting USB Live works perfectly fine (I'm using it right now). I have an access to all the partitions, all the data seems to be there, SMART utility says the hdd is healthy ..

Oh, and I tried reinstalling with grub-reinstall before, it said that the reinstallation went fine but didn't helped either

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Clean Install - Sudden Shutdown / Power Off

Nov 9, 2010

I just did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu (10.04 --> 10.10). After the install, any time I do CPU intensive work, my PC is suddenly shutting down like it's overheating. Everything was working fine for months, and started having problems immediately after the reinstall. so this is not a problem with my hardware, and it's not a problem with my fans needing cleaning -- it's a problem with software. So please don't tell me "that sounds like overheating, clean your fans". Something is different in software-land between 10.04 and 10.10 that is causing this to happen.

I have checked my log files, and can't find anything related to overheating -- searches for things related to lm_sensors, "temp", and "thermal" are not turning up anything in the system logs (syslog, kern.log, or messages). I also looked at the logs around the times of the sudden shutdown, and couldn't find anything unusual. How can I diagnose this? I'd like to file a bug report, but since I can't find anything in the logs, I honestly have no idea how to go about providing useful information. Is there anything besides overheating that might be causing my laptop to suddenly shut off? (I am using a Gateway M-6888u laptop, btw)

Ubuntu Networking :: Sudden Failure To Connect To Router ?

Dec 18, 2010

I was connecting to the internet with no problems at all until two days ago. a while back I set my local IP to #.#.#.11, the internet failed.

Code:

I removed the added code from /etc/network/interfaces and the internet started up again, however the card retained the .11 IP address and has done through many installs... Don't know why or how, probably just a router DHCP setting not retiring the IP of machines.

That wasn't a problem as far as I know.

Ok, so I check a wired connected win7 pc and an ipconfig /all shows he's got the #.#.#.11 address. Checked a wireless win7 netbook and it got a #.#.#.24 address

Wireless key double checked and is correct.

I'm now on my WinXP partition (dual boot with the same ubuntu install that won't connect to the internet) it's getting the IP #.#.#.5 and is connecting with no trouble(albeit slow windows)

All machines are set to automatic configure, but obviously retain the same ip for a while.

I've tried

Code:

iwconfig show that the wireless card is indeed wlan0

Here's basic information

Code:

Wireless card on non-connecting machine: Belkin N+ wireless card, v2001, NDISWRAPPER

will this work?:

Code:

The problem is that if I try and connect to the router it does the "connecting rotating circle" and then just either has a message "disconnected from wireless" or asks me again and again for the WPA key, which is already correct.

LiveCD and fresh install both fail, used ndiswrapper and it's always worked fine before.

using Ubuntu 10.04

How I can get connected again? This is a desktop, a wired connection is just NOT possible.

Ubuntu Servers :: Sudden Change In Server Behavior

Jul 4, 2011

I have been running two Ubuntu 10.10 servers for some time now. My main server is 10.111.1.65 and backup server is 10.111.66. The main server is to host my website and ssh remote access (Key auth). The backup server pulls via ssh key auth what is in my /var/www (among other folders) to the backup home dir (encrypted). For some reason today I checked the uptime and it was 7 hours on both servers. All my other computers on the same power supply have a uptime of over a month. For some reason I now cant access backup via ssh from main's key (I could before) and I can not get to the home dir, see below:

Code:
carlos@UbuntuSvrDell2400:~$ sh "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop"
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop: 1: [Desktop: not found

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Internet All Of The Sudden Very Slow?

Jul 14, 2011

I installed 11.04 last week. Everything was working brilliantly until I turned on my laptop today. Now my wireless internet is running soooo slow. Requests take like 5 seconds, then it loads the page for about 10 seconds. Last night it was running fast.Chrome/Chromium/Firefox all run super slow. I tried turning off wireless-N and using G instead, but that didn't help. My windows 7 desktop is not experiencing the same problems in Chrome, or Firefox. I'm not sure if it's updates that I installed yesterday that didn't take until I restarted today
