Ubuntu :: 10.10 Hangs On Syscall_call?
Jan 8, 2011
Just built a new PC with the following hardware and am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. However it hangs on syscall_call both on Live CD and on Alternative CD.
If I try Fedorda 14 CD it hangs on: "kernel_thread_helper".
If I try DamnSmallLinux I get: "kernel panic vfs unable to mount root fs"
Here is the hardware I used:

ASUS M4A78LT-M LE AMD 760G Socket AM3 DVI VGA Out 8 CHannel Audio MATX Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X3 445 3.1 GHz - Socket AM3 1.5 MB cache

Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Samsung SH-B083L 8x BD-ROM with DVD�RW DL SATA Blu-Ray Drive
I have tried taking out the Graphics Card and running from the onboard graphics incase there was a conflict but that generated same issue.
I ran memtest86 and the RAM comes up fine with no errors.
I wonder if its anything to do with the HDD being SATA? But then does a LiveCD even care about the HDD?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP Pavilion p6565uk.
My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.

For a given user on a given networked system, starting KDE (slackware 13.1 stock) hangs during the startup. CNTL+ALT+Fx gets out, and KDE / X can be shutdown with a CNTL+C, however, afterwards doing a df hangs bash.My guess is that there is something IO oriented, as top shows a load of 9+.
There is 5% iowait according to iostat.

I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on my laptop, too. However, on the laptop (but not on the desktop) I cannot shut down properly. I get a black screen with the following text:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: (flashing cursor)
On one occasion I got:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: init: usplash main process (10187) killed by TERM signal
In either case it hangs there and does not completely shut down.

I installed selinux and it caused ubuntu to stall/hang on shutdown, so I got rid of it, and it is still hanging. The splash stops at the third/fourth progress dot and just sits there.

I have been trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Dimension 4100, Pentium III 800 Mhz with 512MB of memory. This was a clean install on a brand new hard drive with Ubuntu as the only OS using the entire disk. Using the desktop CD the install will go smoothly then hang at 95%. I also tried the alternate install with no luck. The system boots to Grub Rescue prompt and I am unable to do anything from there as the commands seem to be very limited, most are unrecognized.
I can run the live CD without problem , and I have included the results from the boot info script below.

I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS. Now when booting it hangs and drops me to a initramfs shell. This is a scsi machine with 3 drives. The error I get before dropping to the shell is that the drive with the uuid in menu.lst does not exist.If I type "exit" at initramfs, it finishes booting in a couple of seconds. The uuid is correct and maybe this is a timeout error of some kind. This is a machine that I would want to reboot without having to walk over and type "exit" at the initramfs prompt.

I installed Maverick Meerkat today, and it was working great on the first boot (which is when I updated the system...). However, since then, it won't boot up. When I looked at the output during boot, I noticed that it hangs when it gets to:
Code:
floppy0: no floppy controllers found
After that, the hard drive access light on my laptop turns off and it just sits there.

I've just had the power cut out while downloading a bunch of updates for Ubuntu 10.4
I haven't updated to the latest release because I'm lazy and have slow internet.
Anyway, once power had been restored, I turned my desktop on to find that my install will not actually load. It boots up and goes to the purple 'Ubuntu' screen with the orange dots, and just sits there (for about 15 minutes so far) without any activity on-screen.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 as I said above, and I'd really like to get a solution that does not include 'start from a fresh installation', since I've had to really wrestle with this install to get my wireless adaptor (USB) and wacom tablet working properly.

I've had my system about a month -- 10.10, i7, 8GB RamLast week, I installed KDE and xFce desktop environments.Two things I wonder if you can comment on:1) It boots up into kubuntu instead of Ubuntu, and presents the kubuntu login screen, even when I last used the Gnome environment.This is the curiosity.When I log in, the screen brightens and then plays the Ubuntu default sound, and drops me into the Gnome desktop.2) This is the issue -- every so often , maybe every 5 or 6 logins, after I have logged in, the screen up as normal, but just sits there, empty. I have to Ctrl+[F2] to log into the text interface and issue init 6 to reboot. On the second attempt, it takes me into the Gnome desktop as at other times.

Code:
File Sync error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus))
Apparently, I am suffering from this bug:
[URL]
What I find particularly strange is there has been no update recently related to the U1 client. I am guessing this may be a server issue, but it seems that only a few of us are affected currently Until this is resolved, I can no longer use ubuntu one. Pretty much a show-stopper as I rely on it regularly.

Just wondering if anyone also had problems with ubuntu 11.04 booting up? The problem started this morning, before this everything was booting without a problem. When I boot with Recovery mode, it stops after

This issue happens on both my Dell D630 and my homebuilt desktop, so I'm pretty sure that its not a hardware issue. Both installs are clean new installs with encrypted home directories. Computers go to sleep just fine but when I wake them, karmic is unresponsive and stuck in IO wait for the majority of the time. How can I gather enough information to submit a useful bug report?

Ubuntu server hangs when I boot with a wired Ethernet connection. The last thing I see in the console is code...
I have no problem when I boot to a Wifi connection even when Samba and openssh-server are installed. I see the same sequence of lines in the console as I reported initially (including Reloading, Restarting), but then the output continues with
* Starting the Winbind daemon winbind
Both the wired and wireless connections use dhcp. Obviously, I installed the OS using a wired connection, so it worked reliably once. I'm stuck.
P.S. I tried dhclient -r before rebooting. The machine did not shut down correctly and when I forced a reboot it appeared to hang at the usual place. However, after a long delay it proceeded to boot. Perhaps I am observing a delay due to a very long timeout. I will try another reboot now and check again in the morning.

I've recently installed Ubuntu to my USB stick (Installed from CD so not Live Persistent). But it hangs every few seconds, I think this is because of the low read/write speed of the usb stick. However when using the Live version booting/shutting down takes a long while, I basically need it to be able to boot fast, run fast, and shutdown fast.

Few days back I have installed VirtualBox in my ubuntu 9.04. Then in VB I have installed one distro of linux based on ubuntu 8.04 ( BAISHAKHI LINUX). Since then my system ( i.e., host ubuntu 9.04,) started hanging and behaving quiet irregularly. The GUI package manager of my host ubuntu 9.04 does not responding each time I start it from system>administration; rather its gets hanged and I have to use "force quit". I have installed Virtual Box 3.1.

My ubuntu 10.04 hangs often when I watch flv videos on firefox. The whole thing just suddenly freezes, with no mouse/keyboard response, no background sound playback, no nothing.
It did so a few times in 9.10, but the upgrade seems to have made it more frequently than before.
My computer is a Acer Aspire One, with N270 core, Intel 945GME and 2GB mem.

I am using Lucid and am having a problem logging out of a ssh -X connection after I had forwarded an X window during it. I don't know if this is the proper place to be posting such a problem but I can think of nowhere else. Please feel free to redirect me elsewhere.At google's suggestion, I tried redirecting the pipes but that didn't help. I am not sure this helps but I did a verbose output of an example ssh session. I login, open a window, close it without doing anything, and then attempt to logout. It hangs which forces me to use ^c on it.

Ubuntu hangs on splash screen when shutting down and restarting after creating startup scrip.
I created the upstart script using the following method:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/local.autostart "Edit local.autostart"
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/local.autostart And sudo update-rc.d local.autostart defaults 80. After this ubuntu hangs on the splash screen during shut down. If I remove the script by doing: sudo update-rc.d -f local.autostart remove
Then ubuntu can restart once again.

I am a neophyte to linux so please cut me some slack. I'm installing the latest version of ubuntu on my old Dell Latitude C840 Laptop. (386 desktop install from CD). I cant seem to get past 79% completion. It just hangs there. I have to assume I'm not the first person to have this problem. I'm reasonably adept with computers but all of the threads/blogs that seemingly address this problem are lost to me. Can anyone provide a simple... or at least step by step process on how I can fix this?

I am looking to speed up my boot time; it is currently around the 2-2.5 minute mark from Grub to desktop (including about 15 seconds at the login screen while I type my password).
I have forced ureadahead to reprofile, and have rebooted a few times until the boot time is fairly stable/consistent.
No xorg errors and only one warning ((WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.)
However, dmesg reports the following:
Code:
...
[ 1.121369] Freeing unused kernel memory: 656k freed
[ 1.121926] Write protecting the kernel text: 4676k
[ 1.121977] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 1840k

I think I've got a graphics/sound compatibility issue--both are onboard, but have no idea what to do. 10.04 will run in recovery low-graphics mode but won't load otherwise.
I have an old Gateway MX6030 / MA2 from 2005, 1.4Ghz Celeron, 1024 MB RAM. It had 9.04 on it. I got it out, thinking I could use it to store and remotely access research files for Mendeley and backup other data from my primary machines. I was running into wireless connectivity programs, so rather than fix it I figured I'd upgrade to through to 10.04 and plugged it into the router. 9.10 was a little choppy with the sounds when booting up, but worked. 10.04 won't boot properly. It gets to the Ubuntu splash screen with the little dots, which all turn red, then goes straight to a grey screen. The hard disk stops thrashing, and that's it.
If I hit ESC to bring up the grub menu, I can enter recovery mode and use the low-graphics startup to get into 10.04. Sound is still choppy on startup, but wireless, video, etc. all work. I tried to use a USB bootdisks with both 10.04 and Xubuntu 10.04 and got the same issue. The Ubuntu live boot can get to the menu but freezes after I make a selection. Xubuntu just brings up a low-res "XUBUNTU" image and freezes right after that. Hard disk stops turning, and the machine stops accessing the USB disk. Nothing happens.
Is there a way I can access 10.04 low graphics as the default boot? Is this a driver issue? This is a beginner question, obviously, and really, my goal here is just to be able to access the machine remotely so I can keep files for Mendeley in a single place rather than across two machines and three OSes. I don't know if I have the time or patience to learn how set up another machine as an FTP server to try and install through that route.
