I am running a dual-boot system (Windows Vista and Ubuntu) and after I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 I am unable to boot up Windows Vista.
How can I fix this? Grub is probably where the problem is; but my Windows partition of my hard drive is found and I can boot from it.

Up until recently have always been a gnome or xfce user, recently decided to try kubuntu. I like it, but its very slow to boot. I get a blank blue screen (same shade as grub) right after grub has finished its countdown and starts Kubuntu.

I downloaded the x86 10.04 LTS ISO and burned to a disc. I booted it on my old Fujitsu laptop but it just hangs at:
Code:
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...
Done.
init: ureadahead-other main process (1019) terminated with status 4
init: ureadahead-other main process (1020) terminated with status 4
* Setting sensors limits [ OK ]
I tried all the possibilities like noacpi but to no avail.

I had Ubuntu working perfectly until I installed two Nvidia updates. (proprietary driver)Now Ubuntu freezes at the Ubuntu loading screen. Unfortunately I can't remember how to access the terminal at bootup, does anyone know?Im not sure what I will try yet but I might just try getting updates in case I will get a new Nvidia update to fix this.

In the past (before UpStart was used in Ubuntu) I was able to configure multiple boot items in Grub menu to load the same kernel but into different runlevels. I had configured runlevel 3 (I went into /etc/rc3.d/ and removed the symlink to /etc/init.d/gdm) to be w/o GDM, so that if I had chosen it, my box would not boot into X. How can I achieve the same effect in Lucid?

This is my sons Asus eee pc 1005peb ( have one exactly like it and never happened to me)
The screen flashes on bootup and makes it very hard if not impossible to login and the gnome menu at the top is gone too. I do not know what he did to it. But I am loading meego on it now.

I seem to have the following problem with Ubuntu. I have two PATA drives in my server. The OS is loaded on the first drive which is the master and the server functions fine. This is what I want to do is to have two 120 gig drives in the system and mirror them. When I put the second drive in set to be a slave the bios see's both drives. After the bios shows what is in the system it hangs with the cursor in the upper left hand corner and will not boot beyond that point. If I unplug that second drive it will boot up with no issues.

Not sure if i am correct but I was under the impression from all sorts of posts & videos that 10.04 was supposed to have a fast bootup. I have upgraded from 9.04 jaunty bootup is quite a bit slower than on the old version and is quite tedious is this correct? are there any logs i can upload to see if i have an error some where?

I am frustrated that I do not see the kernels menu anymore, which had such useful tools like the different kernels, the ram checker or the recovery mode kernel, allowing recovery from a botched update, etc. As of 10.10, I don't even get the kernel messages flashing by, all I get is a dumbed-down black screen a l windows, then it boots ubuntu without offering me any of these options.
How do I get to it, and how do I get it back?

Have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a couple of Dell Inspiron 2650 laptops (both 512M memory) and when they run, they're great, but they only successfully boot up maybe 10% of the attempts. Most of the time, the touchpad and keyboard are inoperative, but I recall sometimes the enter key gets me past my user Id to input password. Trying to enter recovery mode isn't any better, but once into recovery, I'll boot up in safe graphics, but it is probably only running because it succeeded in entering recovery, anyways. I have elected to to boot up in safe graphics, but they still both freeze. No error messages, just a frozen background/icons screen.
Ubuntu has searched the hardware and reports there's nothing requiring proprietary drivers installed.
After reading all the other problems posted, I figure my laptops are doing pretty darn good, but it sure would be nice not to set around starting up and shutting down, over and over.

I installed SLIM and rebooted. gdm failed to start so I went to the terminal and ran gdm manually from there. Then i logged in and removed slim package, reinstalled gdm and rebooted. Gdm still fails to start at boot up. When i try to manually start it, i get the following warnings:
Warning: unable to load file 'etc/gdm/custom.conf'
Warning: unable to find users: no seat-id found

When it DOES boot, it runs like a champ, and has no issues. However, it tends to freeze up on the boot at the BIOS screen, this issue was around when Windows was on it.

REASON: I want to find out how to improve my boot-up and hibernate-awake time for ubuntu (it is 300% slower as hibernate on windows xp on the same machine)
QUESTION: well my question is concerning the tool dmesg. As I understood from reading the quite brief >>man dmesg this tool will show the messages the kernel put out during the boot-up. true? A typical line on my dmesg output I receive would look like this:
Code:
[...]
[ 39.632219] i915 0000:00:02.0: LVDS-1: EDID invalid.
[ 46.964733] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:23:08:20:58:6f
[ 46.965988] wlan0: authenticated
subquestion:
a) the number in the beginning (is it the time between the two kernel messages?) in the example it wold be about 7 seconds
b) if it is the time in seconds: does it mean the kernel was abusing 7 dseconds for the output of the line? how can I track what causes the delays?
PS: maybe I should post this in a different ubuntuforums subgroup (if so which?) PSS: is there any good webpage (I have not found any yet) on this topic?

When I boot up 9.10, very occasionally, I get a login screen directly after the page with the Ubuntu b&w symbol and before the colour page. It doesn't happen very often but usually when I am showing someone how good and quick Ubuntu is.

I know this has technically been posted but I think my situation is a bit different. People have been complaining that karmic is slower to boot. But from what I gather, it's only a few seconds extra due to an extra splash screen. I'm running Ubuntu Studio and mine takes like 5 minutes and is showing me 3 splash screens! 2 for regular Ubuntu and 1 for studio, which is the most sluggish of the three.
My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A75
2.8 ghz pentium M
1.5 gb ram
Radeon graphics
60gb hdd
EDIT: Also, recovering from hibernate takes a few min. Related?

I have a box which was upgraded to 10.04 server. I also installed the ubuntu-desktop package and it's configured to autologon a user and then vino shares the user's desktop to the network. I do it this way because the server has no monitor/keyboard/mouse attached.
The problem I had, is that "if" one of the filesystems fails to mount at bootup. The machine sits there waiting for keyboard input on what it should do.
Quote:
"File system xyz failed to mount, the device is not available or not ready.
Continue to wait;S to Skip;M for Manual Recovery"
Is there a way to influence the default behavior in the event of a failed mounting operation? (so there's no need for a keyboard to be attached.)

It mounts OK on the fly (mount /usr/local) but when you reboot, it hangs, presumably forever, saying that "The disk drive /usr/local is not ready, S to skip, M for manual".Pressing S or M does nothing. I then have to turn the machine off, boot off a CD, mount the HD's / partition and remove the fstab entry before I can successfully boot the OS.Having looked at various forums, I have tried some different things like removing the "0 0", putting "auto" in the options. Unsurprisingly perhaps, these made no difference.
This behaviour was noticed on 10.04, but having tested it on 9.10 it does a similar thing on that version too, although on that one you can actually enter a shell at the hang point and edit your fstab.

I installed Ubuntu via Wubi, but now when I boot up the computer, it asks me to select Ubuntu or Windows, then after I select Ubuntu, it takes me to the Grub menu, which also asks whether I want Ubuntu or Windows. I've had this on multiple computers, and it's not very useful. How to change this?

I decided to fully install Ubuntu 9.10 on my computer Using Entire Disk Space. Installation was completed without any problems so I followed the instructions, Rebooted and took the CD out of the mechanic. After rebooting, when the GRUB was loading, it said the following
Error: no such device: 235ea02c-16b5-4abf-af04-af6767b6848f
I tried rebooting several times, even with CD inside. All it did was it moved to choice of System (normal, safe mode, memory check etc...). When I chose Normal, it just refreshed and did not get me anywhere. The same goes for the safe mode. After a certain while I decided to replace it with 10.04. However, this one stopped at 79% saying sth like Retrieving Data *number* of *number*.
It lasted for too long so I rebooted again, now with 9.10 CD inside again. I installed 9.10 hoping that this time it would work the way it should. However, the exact same thing happend. Installation went smoothly but GRUB booting had that error. Now there is Ubuntu 9.10 on my HDD which would not start so I'm writing this using the "10.04 Tryout".

I hope this is an appropriate place to post this - if not, so sorry & just let me know where I should start the chat: I run a dual booted (Win Vista & Ubuntu Studio Lucid) Dell Inspiron Laptop (2.2 ghz core2duo, 4 gb ram, 256 mb vc, 500 gb hdd).
At random times when I boot into Ubuntu, (right away after grub) I get a black screen with one line of dark red Chinese charachters at the top of the screen and then it just freezes there. Have any of you ever heard of this, and if so, could you enlighten this nOOb? All I do to fix it is reboot, and often this will fix the issue. Is it possible that my system been compromised through installing stuff from medi/univ/multi?

I'm a new ubuntu user and have been trying to get my system to bootup properly after installing the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current). I've searched and attempted for the past few days and found a few posts and articles describing similar problems as mine but the solutions don't seem to work.
Same problem I am having on bootup [url] but the solution does not work for me.
On bootup instead of going into the GUI splash screen it goes to a full screen terminal same, as the link above. After 5 minutes a command prompt appears requesting me to log in. I wait, eventually it goes into the GUI log in screen and everything works as normal from there.
I run glxgears without the driver installed and get around 500, with it installed 3000.

I have had 11.04 running very well (without Unity) on my older Presario 2170us laptop. I've been curious about Unity, which my laptop can't run....so last night, I opened Synaptic, entered Unity as a search and saw 'Unity 2D'. The description indicated it would run without accelerated graphics cards, so I installed it.... and it killed Firefox 4.0.1 Now, even if I select Ubuntu No Effects at bootup, Firefox won't run.... instead, I get an error dialog, stating that a report will be send about the error and then I can click on either Cancel or Restart Firefox (which does nothing, by the way). I haven't tried uninstalling 'Unity 2D' because I wanted to post here first and see if there's a work-around.

I just installed Lucid over Karmic on my netbook, unfortunately I had a little removeable USB hard drive attached during the installation. now when I boot, it keeps looking for the little HD, and I have to press "S" to make it "skip." what can I do to tell Lucid that I seldom use this drive so please shut up about it every time I turn it on?

When booting I am being dropped to initramfs/busy box heres the error: Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mapper/dev-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)

I just booted into Linux and the Update Manager prompted me to restart. After the restart the GRUB interface I expect to see is no longer there and now it is just a command line that says press tab for more options. I have not got a clue with shell language as I have had no time to learn it as of yet. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Linux or is there a command that can be typed that boots up the operating system. Even better if there is something I can do is there also another command that can bring back that interface I was used to.

I just installed 9.10 on a separate drive in my system. The update manager told me many updates were required, so I went ahead and installed. It needed to restart, but the system just got stuck after the default GRUB entry started loading.Is there a way to undo the updates? I can't boot into 9.10 any more so I'm not sure how this would work.
