Ubuntu :: 10.10 Crash Now Freezes During Startup
Jan 3, 2011
I was running update manager in ubuntu and my system froze completely. I had no other option but to manually switch of the PC. Then after restarting the PC I got some error lines but I can't remember what they said. It didn't matter which linux version I chose from GRUB, nothing worked. Today when starting up shortly after the Ubuntu 10.10 screen with the blinking dots below it I see a dos type screen with only a flashing cursor and nothing happens.
Is there any way I can fix this? Or repair the ubuntu installation without loosing all my data/settings etc? I'm running now from the live CD. I can access the disk drive that has ubuntu installed on it. I have XP running on a separate disk and I can boot into XP from my motherboard's bios boot menu.

Almost everyday my notebook freezes. I know the kernel is still up and running because I see my hd led activity lit from time to time and when I pressed the wifi/bluetooth button it also lit on and off with no problem.
The problem is my XWindows, it's just freezes and there's nothing I can do with it. I still can move my mouse cursor but I can't click anything because the screen is just freezes.
I tried to pressed Ctrl + Alt + F2->F5 to go into console mode. Not working.
The only workaround is turn-off and turn it on again.
This happened after I installed F11. with F10 I have never seen such problem
Here is my configuration :
- Notebook Acer Travelmate 6292
- 4 GB memory
- VGA is Intel on-board.
Sofware I uses when the freezes happened :
- Virtualbox 3.0.10
- I use compiz/emerald
- Gnome
- Firefox
- Limewire (sometimes)

Today, everything was working fine until I started an upgrade. After the upgrade finished, my bluetooth keyboard stopped working, so i connected another keyboard and CTRL ALT Backspaced. The screen turned off, then turned on, but blank. The login screen didn't show, and i couldn't even switch to TTYl. The only way i got anything to work was renaming /etc/gdm and rebooting. then i had to switch to TTY while plymouth was running. Then i logged as root and ran startx, and it froze, once again. If i try to boot into recovery, it doesn't work either.

I run an old Toshiba Satellite M35x S114 Laptop with Debian Testing, it always runned smoothly - although it IS testing . Since the latest update to kernel 2.6.32 , the X server just freezes. The init goes all the way to gdm, and then a blank screen , no mouse pointer, no way to get out of this screen (not CTRL+ALT+BACSPACE not CTRL+ALT+F1 / F2 ... etc) just a hard reset.
I can boot to the older .30 kernel with absolutely no problem, gdm starts normally login successfull (as I am able to write this on the reffered machine and all).
Here comes the gory details:
>>> The graphic card:
lspci | grep gra
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
>>> When it works with .30 kernel:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
code....
Noting that there are no more Modlines in the new Xorg.0.log
Besides, X is disabling the mouse and keyboard in the configuration.

I've recently installed the Fedora Core 14 on my laptop. Unfortunately, when I try to launch Fluent preprocessor Gambit 2.4.6 it immediately crashes giving the following message: Received exception: Assertion failed in /usr/local/fluent/build/gambit/dev/gambit_lnamd64/include/BPPTREE_CC.hpp, line 288: status == 0 I'm absolutely clueless of what might be the cause of this problem (all dependencies are resolved, at least all i know of, and all the updates applied, however the problem occurred both pre- and post-update). As i have already mentioned, there were no particular (aside from the libXm.so.3 ones...) difficulties in using it on former Fedora releases.

I am having plasma crashes for the past few days. I'm running KDE 4.5.2 and it was all running fine. Then the latest runs of updates happened and now I can't get a desktop. KDE runs but plasma fails to start leaving me with a black screen and a mouse pointer. This happens in both failsafe and normal, with or without a fresh .kde4 folder and consistently! Here's what the KDE bug window tells me.

I am running openSUSE 11.2 KDE desktop. (Also use LXDE as an alternative desktop because I am running on a P3 with 512 of RAM.) I originally had followed the guidance at Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums and had Amarok and Xine both working satisfactorily for several weeks. Now, for some reason, both apps begin to load and then crash.

I've been having problems with Ubuntu/Kubuntu (I switch back and forth) freezing shortly after booting and logging in. I installed 9.10 a few days ago (fresh install, new hard drive). I installed all of my packages, and everything works fine except this freezing bug.
If there is not a freeze within a few minutes after startup, then there so far has not been a freeze at all (so, if everything is fine after a short time, then everything will continue to be fine). I'll try to add some information here that will be helpful: I dual boot with Windows 7, which is installed on sda1. Ubuntu is on sdb. There doesn't seem to be any problems with this. I have an Nvidia 9800 GTX+ graphics card (I use the proprietary driver). 8 GB Ram, Intel quad 2.66 CPU.

I've been using 10.04 for a while now with no problems but for some reason it started freezing on the splash screen, 2 of my keyboards lights start blinking and thats it, I've tried with recovery mode and no luck either. The thing is I don't remember doing anything wrong.

I have used a few versions of ubuntu now and each one seems to encounter the same problem loading ubuntu.
I am using a Samsung x05 laptop.
If I have a mouse, printer or even wired internet connection plugged in at any point during startup I will not be able to get past the login screen. I can login fine but the system freezes at the beige screen before the desktop appears.
I recently partitioned and installed Windows xp, which doesn't have the same problem, so I presume it is some kind of incompatibility between Ubuntu and my laptop?

I am trying to install Xubuntu on a old toshiba satellite A55. I threw in the live CD and did the try without any changes to your computer. The starts to load, when it finishes loading, and I can finally start poking around it freezes right away. When it freezes the graphics get a bit messed up, little ghost images next to their actual image appear (like a second icon of the same thing slightly offset, and blue/white) I had the same problem with Mint. Only thing I have been able to get running is puppy linux.
Laptop info:
Celeron M CPU
roughly 750mb ram
ata-100 western digital drive
Toshiba Satellite A55-S3062

Everything was starting up fine, then a few times it would freeze during boot, now every time it freezes during the boot. I removed quiet, and added nosplash to the grub startup option, and I see that where it waiting is on a line that says: scsi4 : mvsas There is no disk activity at this time, and it'll sit there forever.

I just tried to upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 (64bit). Everything went fine until the machine tried to reboot. Now it stops while booting on the screen where the ubuntu logo and five red dots appear. I'm unable to open a terminal (alt+ctrl+f1 does not result in anything) and the only thing I've been able to do is to reboot the machine.
If I reboot by pressing ctrl+alt+delte I see some information for a short while, it seems that the boot stops on "checking battery state" I've googled this, and it seems that quite a few other have had the same problem, but they have been able to open a terminal, any ideas on how I can do this? Or any other suggestions on how to fix this?
My system is a dekstop with a Nvidia GTX 260 graphics card. I recently installed the newest Nvidia driver. I forgot to mention that I did an online upgrade.

I did a fresh install of 11.04 a week ago and I had my screen saver set to run 'Floating Feet' after 15 minutes idle time. Twice I've left my computer, and returned, clicked the mouse, and found my computer frozen on the screen saver. I was able to recover once by hitting the power button, which brought up the shut down/restart options and normal desktop. It hasn't happened since I turned off the screen saver, so I'll just leave it that way until a solution arises.

I was trying to automount a few NTFS partitions last night. Upon reboot, I got the following error messages.
/device/sda2 ... is not ready or present
/device/sdc2 ... is not ready or present
Then Ubuntu just freezes. I am using Ubuntu Natty, if that helps. I am currently unable to get into Ubuntu without a LiveCD.

I have attempted Ubuntu, Debian, and Wuby, and none of them work so the problem is not a simple Cd drive error. Ubuntu and Debian freeze at roughly the same point in the installation. Wuby installs succesfully in Windows, but then dies in attempted startup. Ubuntu won't even boot from the CD. I have tried the various "safe" installers, text only methods, none work. Strangely enough, I have managed to get Knoppix to boot from DVD. I would prefer to get Ubuntu running than Knoppix however.

I just installed ubuntu 10.04.1 using the wubi installer for windows. Installation finished without problems so I restarted my laptop as I was asked to. Then I selected to run ubuntu, there was the black screen "completing installation" and then came the startup where it stopped working.

i got an pclinuxos LXDE version on my netbook. i installed abiword on it. after that, synaptic and any other package manager refuses. synaptic freezes as soon as i start it up. only a reboot will close it. i searched google, found this: [URL]. i don't understand the instruction there, but it seems to be the same problem i had. i believe they suggest reinstalling. this is a mission-critical-workstation, i can't afford an downtime more then 1 day. so i can't do a re-install. (duo settings i have to apply again, this would take long)

I installed debian 7 lxde from lxde cd. It freezes on logging in (i.e keyboard doesn't work,desktop freezes and only mouse pointer works.But,I can't select or view anything.Only mouse pointer can be moved.).
But,If I do not login with the display manager and login (my username and not root) via another terminal like tty3 or tty4 using alt+ctrl+F3 or F4,everything works fine.

I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 a few weeks ago. It freezes 10 - 15 seconds after startup. I got a brief, but incomplete reply to what I thought was another related problem on the forum (OpenSUSE 11.3 / Mozilla Firefox freezes upon moving the mouse), but it turns out that the problem is neither the mouse nor Firefox. It freezes without doing anything special.

Every time I launch Firefox and go visiting some websites, I notice it freezes for about 10 seconds. Not always in the same websites, but it always happens sometime in the first 2 or 3 minutes of running. I can see the hard disk led is ON all the time the browser is hung.
My operating system is Linux and I don't currently have any extension/plugin installed here.
I have no form completion, no history and have no more than 20-30 bookmarks.
Has somebody noticed something similar, or know how can I debug this to find out what Firefox is doing or trying to do?

As the title say, I'm having this odd problem, consistently, if I disconnect the USB keyboard from the box, it hangs after initializing md0 (raid of 10 sata disks).. The cursor blinks, but it never gets further, I've had it hanging like that for a day (I started the box before I went to school, and when I got home, I found that it never booted completely)
If I connect the keyboard, the box boots fine..

For some reason my disc I burned for ubuntu desktop 10.10 freezes when I get to the ubuntu logo with the 5 dots. I am able to install ubuntu server just fine.
I tried to install desktop on top of server using sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop and then whenever I reboot it freezes during startup.
I think it might be my swap partition. I recall seeing a blip of an error talking about "press C to skip or M to start maintenence" or something like that. It never stayed on the screen long enough for me to read it.

After yesterday system update the x server won't start up anymore. It locks immediately with blank screen leaving the computer unresponsible until hard reboot. I hat to once again go with the "vesa" driver, as I mentoined earlier in another thread it is a life saver, always works. My video card is integrated Radeon HD3250 - video driver was fglrx from ATI itself. "radeon" driver now reports that modesetting is not supported and will not load with EE-type X server error.
Anyone else experienced this? Are there any changes in the most recent X server that once again break compatibility with the official ATI driver?

1GB Dane-Elec stick is what I'm using.
The only thing out of the ordinary I noticed is that when I clicked "Erase disk" I ended up with a choice of two: /dev/sdc (with no indication of free space but a capacity of 983.0MB), and /dev/sdc1 which showed 288MB free before I erased it and a capacity of 980.4MB.
This app has never worked on any system I've tried it on, but this particular machine is an LTS (10.04) with recent hardware so I'd like to get it fixed if possible.
