Ubuntu :: 10.04 Pink Screen BSOD
Jun 25, 2010
I downloaded an x64 version of the latest ubuntu 10.04 desktop. Burned it to a DVD at 1x speed in DVD Decrypter and upon booting up I got a pink screen that would sometimes change colors to purple, black, or grey. I thought it was a bad DVD so I burned another copy, didn't work. Maybe my download got corrupted and re downloaded it and burned it again didn't work.
Used the universial usb installer to install the iso to my new usb key which i removed all the contents before installing. This time I get to the black menu screen, except when I go to install to hard disk I get that same error again. Pink/purple screen most the time and flickering for the bottom 3/4 of my screen. If I reboot my pc the flickering still persists even in the BIOS and windows. I have to either reinstall my nvidia driver or wait like 20mins for it to fully dissipate.
p5w-dh deluxe (latest BIOS drivers) 2TB SATA I'm trying to install it on. I shrunk the partition down by 100GB to install ubuntu and pcbsd for each 50GB. I got windows 7 x64 and xp 32bit on the same hard drive which I arragned with EasyBCD e6600 8800gtx (latest windows drivers)
After all this I installed ubuntu 9.10 x64 on a DVD and pcbsd aswell they both installed perfectly no problems at all. Ubutnu I think installed on a different hard drive because it didn't detect the free partition space. There is defiantly something at least to my knowledge with the ubuntu DVD but it only appears on my hardware and temporary BIOS flickering is beyond strange.
So I'm wondering how I can troubleshoot this? I waited till ubuntu 10.04 came out to install ubuntu and I'm stuck with 9.10. And I'm very afraid to upgrade for this reason. The last think I want is a pink screen unable to be repaired because the USB/DVD won't work. Or should I wait for a more stable release or is ubuntu 10 crap all-together?

I have an iBook G3 and about 4 months ago after Mac OSX was corrupted I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it. During the install the screen was divided and partly blacked out but when I installed it, the resolution was fine and the OS encompassed the whole screen.
After a few weeks everything on the screen started to turn pink until all the colours on the whole screen were a shade of pink! I decided that I would abandon my laptop as I had a fully functioning Ubuntu desktop which was my preferable computer to use anyway.
Following the release of Ubuntu 10.04 I decided that I would try a fresh install on my laptop. When I started the install I was disappointed to find that the screen was divided and everything was shaded pink. I went ahead with the install regardless hoping that everything would be fine once I installed Ubuntu. Once again I was let down, the screen was still divided and pink. I have included some pictures for you to have a look at.

I was using Fedora 12 before and using the RPMFusion nVidia proprietery driver and everything was fine. On fedora 13 Im trying to use nouveau with the 3d support and for some reason i get little pink pixels appearing over my screen in ramdom places on ramdom. please see screen shot below. I used to get this on fedora 12 also before using the nvidia driver, any clues how to fix this?
also, I have two monitors (well one is a tv) any how most of the time i dont use the tv, so in the settings i switch it off, but for some reason when i log out the default settings are to use both screens and have the login prompt on the wrong monitor, how do i set my monitor settings to be so in all situations?

today while using 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64 bit I decided to do something about the low resolution boot screen, I've seen the bugs thread but I thought startup manager would be the way to go Anyway I changed the resolution and the bits to the highest they would go I rebooted and I got the normal coloured boot screen but no logo just text, then I tried disabling text and enabling the boot logo Then I rebooted and the same thing again Then I removed startup manager and the whole boot screen turned bright pink and still had a text logo!

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (kernel 2.6.31-24). After booting, when the "pink screen" comes up, the login dialog doesn't appear for about a minute, and the KB and mouse are frozen. It takes another 30 seconds before the KB and mouse unfreeze and I can type in my password.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside Win 7 on a seperate partition. But starting from yesterday, my Ubuntu doesn't boot. Instead I get a Black Screen of death. I tried the Ubuntu Safe mode, and hit grub>boot I got a message saying, "No kernel selected."

i'm running 11.3 kde 4.4, with a Broadcom 4318. since installing 11.3 a few days ago, whenever i'm connected via wireless, one of two things always happen: when trying to play video (hulu, ....., etc.) in firefox, within a minute or so i will get the BSOD--that is, my screen will go black, and my cap/num lock lights will flash on and off. also, when regularly browsing the internet...not long after opening firefox, it will stop working like i have no connection, and then i will get a frozen screen and system within a minute or two after seeing a variation of this communication message:
"Message from syslogd@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784417] process irq/11-b43 (pid: 1974, ti=debee000 task=dd291170 task.ti=debee000 Message from syslogd@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784424] Stack: Message from syslog@sbkra at Nov 2 21:09:53 kernel: [956.784458] Call Trace: "a couple times, i've gotten this message and the following freeze when running video in firefox.
strangely, i have no problems running streaming audio through smplayer. and i have no problems playing saved video files through smplayer. and i have absolutely no problems whatsoever browsing or playing online video while connected via ethernet.
i've also searched through the various forum sections to try to address the issue, but nothing i've tried has worked. nor has anyone had a problem identical or even similar to this. btw...in relation to "broadcom", yast tells me that i have "b43-firmware" and "b43-fwcutter" installed. nothing else. i do not have "ndiswrapper" installed, because this gave me problems in 11.2, and this problem mentioned here was happening in 11.3 before i uninstalled "ndiswrapper". and the repos i have are: Packman, OSS, Non-OSS, and Update.

I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)

what can be done to make normal windows (gtk, metacity whatever) to look like this( i mean the menu bar and stuff you know in the attachment pics) I scanned the entire gnome-look, and google to make my own emerald theme, but couldnt find any tuts! dont post<a href="www.google.com" >this</a> any normal person does a google search before posting on a thread, trust me its a lot more easier to google than to write a para describing a problem

I recently put Crunchbang Linux onto my sister's netbook. Everything went absolutely fine (except for the display driver, but that's neither here nor there), and everyone was happy. Then she decided to boot into Windows. The XP option appeared in Grub, she selected it, it showed the splash screen...and then flashed (so fast I can't even read a word) the BSOD before rebooting. Trying again brings up Windows' recovery screen, and the Safe Mode, Last Known Good, and Normal XP options all result in the same error. What's happening, and how should I fix it?

I try to watch flash content but everything is covered with a pink layer... (see attachment file). I am using firefox 3.6.1.5 (same prob with opera!) and flash 1.0.2.r152 in ubuntu 10.10 with compiz disabled and GPU Override set to true (no difference with false..) I tried FlashAID for a clean setup and I have only flashplugin-installer on my laptop (no gnash or libswf...), I also tried it with the package "adobe-flashplugin" same problem. This and the a2dp-skips are my last problems before a perfect setup.

I'm in windows 7x64 playing Dwarf Fortress and other pointless things- need to work.I hibernate Windows to save my stuff, switch to Ubuntu.After finishing my work in ubuntu, I shut down and reboot into windows.
I do this a couple times per day over the past couple days, letting windows hibernate when I'm not working at all. All of my ubuntu sessions ended on shut-down. My most recent switcheroo did NOT involve me mounting my windows partition while in Ubuntu. After switching, I went about an hour before hitting KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERORR surrounded by this wonderful blue color.

I've had many installation issues that I won't go into here, and have had to reinstall several times. All I'm trying to do is get an XP installation dual-booting with 9.10.
1. My hard drive partitions are:
120 GB NTFS (with boot flag) for Windows
40GB EXT4 for 9.10 (/)
8GB Swap
The rest (around 220GB) EXT3 for /home
2. I install Windows, and during the windows partitioner it doesn't see the 3 other partitions on the drive, just the NTFS partition, which is odd. I install Windows on that partition, and confirm that I am able to do a cold boot into it.
3. I boot up a 9.10 CD, and all looks as it should. I install Ubuntu in the partitions as outlined above, and it doesn't have any issues.
4. I can now reboot into Ubuntu without issue. When booting into Windows, I get the startup screen with the blue "progress" ticker, which displays for about 2 seconds, then I get a BSOD. The message refers to making sure the hard drives are "partitioned and terminated correctly" and whatnot. If I didn't know any better (and I obviously don't), I'd accuse Ubuntu of bjorking my clean Windows install.

Last month, I agreed to install Ubuntu on my sisters Toshiba NB 305. Ubuntu was fine, but somehow installing it and GRUB hosed both the XP partition and the recovery partition. The Windows splash screen would appear for a second or too, and then Windows BSOD'ed.
I managed to coax the recovery partition into resetting the netbook, and told my sister to be happy with XP for the moment because I had to study for exams.
But she still wants her Linux. So I was wondering if there was a way to ensure that the installation would be OK.

note: in the screenshot it doesn't look blue but it is. i couldn't pause it so then it would show blue so it ended up black.

Ubuntu but an advanced user on Windows. On my home Workgroup network, I an running Ubuntu 10.04.1 on a spare PC and Windows 7 Professional on a fast 4 core AMD PC. I built both PCs myself. The Win7 system is fully updated with maintenance. So is the Ubuntu system. The Win7 desktop system sees and shares files and printers with an XP SP3 laptop and Win 7 Home edition Netbook... and the the Ubuntu system The Ubuntu system can browse and see shares on the the XP Laptop but not the Window 7 Desktop or Netbook. Both Win7 systems can browse and share the the Ubuntu system. There are no current problems anywhere in my Windows network.
Ubuntu gets into a login loop when trying to see the Win7 systems. But before that problem gets solved.I have problem with random BSODs (00007f) on the Windows 7 systems immediately when I first try to browse the network from Ubuntu. The effect is instantaneous. You click on an icon that will browse the network and bingo the Windows system takes a BSOD 00007f dump.This appears to be something new in 10.04.1. I have loaded 8.04 and 9.10 in past just for training and and curiosity reasons and never had this problem. In the past, I lost interest and never went deeper. This time I have a dedicated PC in my network for Ubuntu and need to get deeply into Linux. I am trying to get up to speed on Linux this time around because I find that Linux systems are appearing in the network at work and I need to understand how to use and network Linux.

I have a Toshiba F30-114 laptop on which I want to have a dual boot Windows XP/xubuntu configuration.The problem is that when I install Xubuntu as dual boot, Windows XP gives a blue screen of death for a second and then reboots in the begining of the windows boot sequence.I can choose Safe Mode, Safe Mode With Networking, Safe Mode With Command Prompt, Boot With Last Good Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. But nomatter which one I choose it will result in a bsod following a reboot.I tried to remove the Xubuntu partition, which somehow also resulted in removing the XP installation. I then put the harddrive in an external case and used EASEUS Partition Recovery 5.0.1 on another machine which got back the Windows partition. Now Windows works again without any bsod.

I am using Ubuntu after a BSOD error. Ubuntu is awesome, I can access all my windows files, however, I need to access my programs on windows. Here's what happened- I accidentally changed permissions after getting a virus. I then tried to do a system restore and during that process the computer crashed. When I try to boot to windows in every possible mode, I am always left with the dreaded blue screen of death.

I got BSOD while attempting to uninstall a program in Win XP, so I tried to reinstall the OS (because the guy who gave me the pc wants a clean-up) but a STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) occurs.I tried then to boot Kubuntu 9.04 live cd, and it booted fine, but when I tried an installation it failed too: just crashing...
I tried to change the RAM and the hard drives to no avail.I'm thinking that it's an hardware failure, but can't track it down: what could it be? Video card? Motherboard?
EDIT: I ran 7 successful memtest - not even an error. I have to look at the harddisk ribbons and the motherboard.
EDIT No.2: I tried another harddrive, switching to sata connectors to no avail: the sata harddisk it isn't even recognized...Can it be the video card, or it will be the Motherboard?

I don't know if it's just my system, but after applying the latest Wine update, the mouse cursor in Wine windows is now purple/magenta/pink, whatever. Not a big problem, just annoying. I've looked through the various config files in ~home and /usr/share/wine, and can't find any parameter that might even remotely address this.

If I have a hard-disk with Ubuntu fully installed on it and I want to - all of a sudden - use Windows XP, is it mandatory that I firstly format the hard-disk first? So far, I have used two versions of Windows XP; one of them is from a few years before the other. Both copies of Windows XP when in start-up from booting from CD are causing errors. One of them is a BSOD error (0x0000007B) and the next Windows CD is stopping and giving me an error with setupdd.sys (error code 4). Is it required that the hard-disk is formatted before you even put a Windows boot CD in?

I just installed Ubuntu Remix 10.04 on my wifes MSI U100 netbook. I did a dual boot just in case she had to get into Windows for something. I let the install automatically partion (did the side by side option). Anyway, Ubuntu works fine and imported all her documents and stuff. Problem is Windows XP won't boot. The first time I tried to boot Windows XP I got a message saying the hardware had changed and I had to select safe mode, normal boot, last known good, etc... I booted normally. I got the splash screen followed by a quick flash of BSOD and a reboot. I does this no matter how I try to boot Windows (safe, command prompt, etc). Anyone have any idea what the problem is?

This obnoxious bar has just appeared in Smplayer at the top of the screen. It stays there even when I go full screen. Now full screen isn't full screen and there are black edges on both sides of the screen. I have not be able to figure out how to hide it. I do not need or want this onscreen display. How can I configure Smplayer to make this go away? How can I get my 16:9 full screen aspect ratio back? I have done nothing to mplayer or smplayer as far as editing any or changing any configuration files. I tried several videos and it displays on all of them. It was not there last time I used Smplayer.

Alright guys. I need to find a way to enable a black screen screensaver (or turn off the monitor, or something to avoid burn in) while the machine is sitting at the login screen and completely turn off the ability for the computer to sleep. how I can accomplish that?

I have been using ubuntu wel a long time now and I know my way around in linux but I recently updated my laptop from ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 10.10 all went fine until I had to restart my laptop. I got a purple screen (loading screen) with 4 dots and a oldskool like font which said: Ubuntu 10.10 Right after that the screen goes purple and its like the system halts I hear no login sound etc just a purple screen. So I did a clean install from the 10.10 live cd which booted perfectly fine and the system was also useable like before. But when I installed the system and rebooted it again no problems.
But when I tried to install the proprietary nvidia driver (the recommended one) I got the same problem again the purple screen. After searching a while on the internet I only found posts which had the problem with ATI cards but my laptop is fitted with a Nvidia Geforce 9300 M card. So I tried several things like removing the xorg.conf (read it somewhere) which ofcourse did not work, and booting in graphics fail safe mode which worked. So the point is in 10.04 and 9.10 I CAN use my video card drivers but not in 10.10 is there a solution to this problem? I am talking about the 32 bit version of ubuntu and here's my system hardware profile:
Intel core 2 duo t7350 @ 2,0 ghz / 3mb l2 cache
2 GB DDR3 ram
160 gb hdd
Nvidia 9300m gs
Chipset: I dont know sorry
Model: Samsung R710
