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

VLC media player hangs OS when starting, presumably as it loads a new video file (.mp4 in my case). It doesn't happen every time, but after a few days it eventually freezes the system requiring a reset. Google shows many complaints on this, but no fix. Is there a solution?

It now hangs at startup.... i.e., it comes to the "ubuntu" page, with the red& white rounds below, and does not go further... after 1 hour, the red point is still running...
I tried to see what was hapening, reading that disk from another computer, inspeted the /var/log syslog and boot, but I see nothing comes written there: it seems it has not reached that level.
I'm a pro Windows user, but I'm kinda new to Linux/Ubuntu.
I've installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my notebook and I've having terrible hiccups. When I boot the notebook, it comes to the login screen and I login, and all is well so far.
After the login animation, it shows me my wallpaper, and the top panel, and the netbook-launcher is just launching when a portion of the screen turns white - like it's hanged. I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, Alt+F4 and Alt+F2 but with no luck. The only way out of this is a cold reboot(pressing the power button for 4 seconds). After a number of reboots, it logs in.
I don't know if this helps or if it has anything to do with the problem, but I added Pidgin to the startup applications a few days back.
Ubuntu hangs at start up.Im running 10.10 from a wubi installation - without any problems since. Now, I select the kernel, do ENTER, then I get the blinking big dos-like cursor (still normal)but when it should show the list of "checks".( I dont know how this is called where it checks services, battery state and comments everything with [OK]) it suddenly hangs. All I get is a small blinking cursor, but not more. I need to power down and turn my computer on again, then it usually works.

When the sytem reboots and I press alt+ctrl+2 i see messages like below on the black screen:Unknown username "root" in message bus configuration file.Could not get password database....Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"..Please help me get the system up. I saved some data and did not take a backup. Is there's a way I can restore my system to a previous date? Or backup my data somehow?
Iam using fedora 12. I have been trying to run ganymede eclipse but it hangs with an empty dialog box after the splash screen.
I have searched around the net and found that this is caused by an update in xulrunner. Anyway to fix this. Iam currently using the latest versions from the yum repository. Following is the error log taken from workspace/.metadata.
Code:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 0 2010-01-30 08:41:13.537

I have just installed Fedora 12 on my old AMD64 desktop. The install went fine, I then set about adding various useful things like skype, flash plugin- some manually, some with autoten.
Upon rebooting, the system hangs. Looking at the text startup, the last line before it hangs is:
Starting jexec servicesStarting yum-updatesd: [OK]
After this line appears, the display flashes repeatedly then does nothing. It sits there with the text showing (or on graphical startup, the splash screen disappears) and a cursor flashing.
I think the problem may be with the nvidia driver I installed with autoten, which I suspect is wrong for my system (think my graphics card is too old).
Does anyone know how I might remove the driver given I can't get as far as logging in at the moment? Or am I wrong and the problem likely to be something else?
Like the subject says, the whole system just hangs at gdm startup. No mouse or keyboard response. Didn't have this problem with lenny. My guess is there might be a problem with the graphics drivers. The box has ati rage 128 pro graphics card.

I'm new to ubuntu, install was flawless, set up my email, chats everything was fine. Shut the computer off Weds night, turned it on Thurs now it won't boot. IS there a recovery anything built in so I can either repair the OS or get my file off the HD? Set up a dual boot of ubuntu so i could get my files but I dont know how to access them.
After a while I get the error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"
"your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself."
I press, OK I'm given several options. I can select them but they don't do anything. in respect to reconfiguring my hardware
I can however get to a terminal to type in code.
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 just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?
PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

After that, the hard drive access light on my laptop turns off and it just sits there.
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.

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'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.

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.
i have 11.04 in my pc.when im using the vlc media player, after playing 5-10 min, its going to be stopped automatically and system will become very slow . so again i am going to restart the system .after restarting the system my theme going be changed . i couldn't figure out whats the problem . help me to get out of this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 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.
