Ubuntu :: 10.4b2 Updated Won't Start?
Apr 21, 2010
I have a Thinkpad X40. I've installed Ubuntu 10.4b2 Netbook Remix on it. I have two issues with it:1. If I boot to kernel 2.6.32-21, the machine locks up hard when X attempts to start. The keyboard becomes totally locked (ctrl-alt-f1and the screen is blank. 2.6.32-20 works fine. (thanks to IRC for telling me how to get to GRUB when it's set to auto-boot.)2. I had 10.4 alpha3 on it originally, and the 3d netbook launcher was dramatically faster than the currently updated version of it. Related to #1: how can I set GRUB to automatically boot to the older kernel? Where should I be looking in logs to see if there's something I can report effectively?

I'm using 10.04 LTS and updated to the last kernel. After reboot the system is hanged to the grub>
I tried to reinstall grub with the 10.04 live CD but the same thing append after reboot!
The only thing I can think of is that the machine is a RAID 1 system! What can I do to restart it normally?

Yesterday fedora automatically updated the linux kernel, and now it wont start entirely up. After the fedora logo has finished loading up the white, and it has turned into the real logo, nothing happens.However, i can boot into fedora with the old kernel via grub, so i guess it is related to the kernel update.

I've been using ubuntu for months, the last two updates i have installed by they never worked. so i've just been choosing pervious working install with no problems, which was 2.6.31-17. i've just downloaded another update and now all i can do is select between xp and ubuntu and instead of getting the next selection screen to pick which version ie .17, .19, or .20, to load. all i get is grub ver. "what ever". then a few lines about the tab function. then "sh: grub" i'm a newbe to the code lang of ubuntu. i don't know what i need to type to get it to load the ubuntu operation system??? or to fix the grub selection screen, or why the installs since .17 don't work.

Does anyone know if the ISO is updated periodically? Also is it just me or is Google Chrome faster than Firefox?

I'm using xubuntu 9.10 and yesterday (6/7 2010) there were 5 important updates which required restarting. So I restarted my computer and found out that I can no longer log in. I got to the login screen where I wrote write my password and it started the logging in but then the screen went black and I came back to the log in screen just like nothing had happened.
I can log in in safe mode but not in the normal GUI boot up. How do I fix this?(sorry for my rusty English btw)

i did some looking online and read that chrome/chromium will tell you if an update is available by showing a small orange dot by the settings wrench. i have never seen one. but it seems that (as far as i was able to figure out) i do have the latest version (8.0.552). i do remember seeing chromium having been updated through the Ubuntu update manger, but all i remember seeing are security fixes, not updates (although i might not have seen them). i also read that chrome/chromium has a 6 week release cycle. Its been awhile since ive seen chromium updated (unless update manger is doing it and not telling me). is there a newer version of chromium? or am i just too observant/impatient?

Ubuntu 10.10 on both PC's.
One is updated to kernel 2.6.35.25, but the other one does not give me any updates for kernels..so it still has 2.6.35.24. I don't understand this.

I updated (I have already been using 10.10 for some time now....) my desktop last night before I went to bed and I installed the updates that I was prompted about yesterday. Well today it says all the updates were installed and asks me to restart - i do.
1st thing I notice is my username/login was different - it used to just be <name>; and now it is <name>-x2512xt5125532 (not exactly, but it was changed..) My password is still the same and logged in fine.
I open up firefox and i notice I have no internet connection (I am wired..) - The back of my desktop light is on (so it definitely has connection) but ubuntu says it is disconnected. I tried deleting the current wired-setting and still not working.
I am using VoIP so I unplugged it from the back of my phone, and directly wired it to my computer - still no internet. I know I have a connection because my phones are working - just not THIS desktop. I have another desktop with 10.10 and the same updates (except the problematic one is 32bit, and the other is 64bit).

I opened UbuntuTweak to find a new repository, Gnome3, available.
I selected it, and tried to install it. I was told I had a broken package, and to fix it first.
I closed Tweak, and opened Synaptic, and clicked fix broken packages, then select all updates. It updated.
I went to restart...and now I can't log in. It brings up the login menu, but the "session" tab at the bottom is grayed out.
If I attempt to login, it seems to accept it, then goes black, and right back to the login screen.

I cannot use ubuntu. Somehow, I managed to get a working terminal from the recovery mode.
I wanted, still do, to change my username. hihihi100 is my old username, the new one is dexter: I changed it in the user and groups section, and moved everything from the /home/hihihi100 folder to the home/dexter folder. In the terminal I can see all the files, none is lost, all are owned by dexter of the group dexter hihihi100 folder is gone
Now the bug, or more precisely, where I realised I had f*kked up:
My machine loads normally, untill I reach the login screen, where I am prompted to choose a username and a password: after doing so my 11.04 will only show 3 different messages:
NOTICE THAT hihihi100 is gone, all the information of that folder is now in dexter (/home/dexter)
Code: could not update ICEauthority file /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority
There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
Nautilus could not create the following required folders /home/hihihi100/Desktop, /home/hihihi100/.nautilus
I dont understand why my machine wants to create folders inside hihihi100, a folder that does not exist anymore

I'm trying to figure out how to use the copy of karmic I downloaded as a repository source. Synaptic has an option to use the install disk as a repository - I'd like to do the same with the copy I have on disk. I've tried to figure out how to search for this, and can't seem to find any relevant information.In the "I'm getting ambitious" department, I'd also like to keep the iso updated with the latest stuff from both Ubuntu sources and the third party repositories I've added, and delete the packages I've removed from my install.

Trying to get the thunderbird localization working I briefly checked thunderbird 3, to see if it had the same issue. Now, the problem is, I accidentally installed new versions of Firefox 3.5 and XULrunner. If I remove them, then many other packets get removes due to dependencies. Same if I try to force version. If I simply remove the repos, then synaptic reports them as broken. Is there anything I can do to solve this? How stable are the updated versions? How often do they get updated?

Very new to Ubuntu, but I was able to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 with no problems. New to forum and couldnt find any help in other posts. Like everyone, I was itching to try the newest and greatest. Tried updating last week but had the "openoffice..." bug and wouldn't install. Tried last night and everything went fine, until I restarted the system. Now it won't complete the boot. It show the GRUB, and some other startups, but them blank screen. 10 min later nothing. Tried it 3 more times. I think I am stuck, right? New install?This is what I am thinking of doing- 1. boot from old cd to get my files out. 2. fresh install of 9.10 and be patient for the offical release. Is there anything else I could do?

I just updated to 10.04 from the previous version and I'm encountering two main problems: First, on boot, after grub, I get the following message: Quote:"Disk drive for /hdba/sda6 is not ready yet or not present" "Continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" It won't go past that (I've waited 30 min) If I press S then I get tis other message but it skips after a few seconds:
Quote: "Disk drive for /hdba/sda7 is not ready yet or not present" "Continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" If I press S then I have an ALMOST working system. You see: I have an external USB hard drive, shared between XP and Ubuntu with all my files in it, and it won't mount. It's a simpletech and it was working just before the update and it loads, mounts and unmounts perfectly on windows and on another laptop I've got running crunchbang!. I can see the disk in "Media" but says I have not enough permissions to see its contents.

I have a typical lamp setup. I updated to 10.04 and I can't seem to access phpmyadmin now. Apache and mysql seem to be working fine. I have tried restarting them both and have reinstalled phpmyadmin. When I say not working, I mean I try to navigate to [URL] and get page not found.

I'm building a new backup server, migrating from Centos to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and upgrading to Bacula 5 all at the same time.Is there a way to find out why there's a 3 month lag? 5.0.2 was released in April, and the currently available packages are 5.0.1.Also how can I find the policy on future updates ? I'd really like to use the core-provided packages but don't want to end up way behind after a year or two.

I have updated Ubuntu all the way to 10.04, but the desktop environment still keeps its old looks. For example, the GNOME panel has the old, light grey colour rather than the new, dark grey. The new greyscale icons for battery and wireless aren't in place either.
What shall I do to bring it up to date either immediately or when 10.10 comes out?

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop using WUBI to preserve my Windows XP installation. I plan to use it for work so have installed our VPN client and a desktop sharing application through a .sh script and a .deb package respectively. The Applications Menu was updated with the submenu and icons for the new applications and I copied thm to the desktop as well. However when I log out and log back in again my menus and desktop have reverted back to what they were before, and my icons have disappeared.

i made a few updates and now i am stuck into windows. I have Windows Xp, and installed ubuntu 10.04 using wubi. I was using ubuntu, updates poped up, and after they finished i restarted and...crash!
Now, if i try to run ubuntu instead of Windows my pc will reset. I have tried to make a bootable ubuntu version into my pendrive and to use Super GRUB2 Disk, but cant launch any of them. Any idea of how to solve this problem? Maybe it ispossible to install grub from windows?

How can I get an updated version of PHP on Ubunut8.04LTS? I think the version that is on it by default is php5.2.1 - I need to use 5.2.10 at least for a web based application I use. Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to use this version - I don't what to go to 10.04LTS as that has php5.3 I think. If I manually install php 5.2.10 it might get messy and will Ubuntu damage it when I run an apt-get update?

Why would Ubuntu insist there are so many updates available when neither apt-get nor synaptic seem to find anything to upgrade???

How do I use apt-get or aptitude to tell me what updated packages are available for my system? I'm moving over from Gentoo where I had a cron job that would run a command whose output was a list of available updates. I had this and other system related info emailed to me. I'd like to duplicate that under Ubuntu, but I can't find a way get the available updates.
