Ubuntu :: 11.04 - How To Boot To Command Line
May 24, 2011Despite my best efforts to have them use debian or ubuntu server, a client wanted ubuntu 11 on the new server they built. It runs all the services I need it to, but would be nicer to have that server boot to command line. It seems nothing is going to work. I have tried:
1. changing /etc/default/grub to "quiet splash text"
result: blank screen
2. sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
result: no change
3. echo manual | sudo tee -a /etc/init/gdm.override
result: blank screen
Has anyone gotten Ubuntu 11.04 to boot to command line out there?
Ubuntu :: Boot Into Command Line Mode?
Mar 14, 2010EDIT: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop worked, not sure why it did not before. Sorry for the whining!
I need to boot Ubuntu into a non-x, command line mode. So I can install an nvidia driver for my new GeForce GTX 260 (I had a GeForce 7900 running on my Ubuntu system using the synaptic open source 185 driver for nvidia, but there is no driver except the one I downloaded just now from nvidia's site for the GTX 260 card). That requires there be no X session running, not even in a separate domain so to speak. There is no rescue mode in Grub2. Recover mode in Grub still boots an X session (Gnome). Alt+F1 appears to be a clean command line terminal but even that does not work because the nvidia driver installer script sees through that ruse and knows there is an active Gnome session. I tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and that did not work. I tried ctr+alt+backspace and that did nothing.
What can I do? I tell you some days linux is just too frustrating, about to just toss the baby with the bath water and go back to Winblows. Bought a new graphics card today, and here I am stuck not being able to even install the driver from a command line prompt, geesh.
Ubuntu Installation :: Command For Running CD At Boot
Apr 28, 2010How do you actually install ubuntu? I cant figure it out, its nothing like windows! I download the unetbootin to make a boot usb drive.. I did that but when it boots it ask goes blue with a thing flash default. Then it asks me to press tab, when I do that it comes with a cmd. What should a write? If I click esc on the keyboard it brings a cmd line. If I write like E:dir it says kernel invalid. What is a cmd that runs the cd on a boot for ubuntu. How hard is to install it??

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Lucid Command Line Ver Won't Boot After Install?
Sep 1, 2010I did a clean install of Lucid from the alternate installer, onto a generic Intel/Celeron PC box. I used a command line only install, and used the entire hard disk; there's no other OS and no other partitions on the disk. Install goes along and finishes fine, reboots, and I can log in. But if I call sudo reboot, or shut down the machine then restart it, the boot process hangs. I see the POST screen, then a flashing cursor on a black screen for a few seconds, then the monitor goes into standby. I see no messages or any kind of output to the screen. I get the same problem using the Lucid Server installer and also when installing on a different box (Dell Intel/Celeron). I also tried running all the updates after install but before any kind of reboot...same thing.
This only seems to be happening using a command line only version of Lucid. Lucid GNOME/XUBUNTU install and work OK on both boxes. I can boot from a CD or USB key, but not sure where to look or what to check.
Ubuntu :: How To Make Command Line Auto Run On Boot Up
Dec 20, 2010In dealing with the Nvidia Powermizer, I have to set it to "Prefer Maximum Power" mode from adaptive mode in order that I can avoid laggy in using my GUI. However, it doesn't save this setting so I have to manually tweak it everytime........
Someone on the web taught me to use the following command line:
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1
running it in the terminal it will set to the mode I want.
Would I be able to make my computer run the above command in terminal everytime it starts? I tried to put the command in the start up applications and it seems not working.
Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 - Unable To Boot - Invalid Command
May 24, 2011I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS on my computer and realized I wanted to give 11.04 a try. So, using the Update Manager both times, I applied all updates then upgraded to 10.10 then to 11.04.
Here's where the problem starts. Grub loads fine. I choose Ubuntu. I briefly get a purple splash screen then a black screen with some text that looks like Ubuntu is trying to load (I've attached a picture of this screen). This screen flashes a couple times then stays up and nothing happens afterwards. I can input text and commands but I get no response. Not even an "invalid command". The only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and my computer will reboot.
I have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows 7 on a 50Gb partition (plenty right?), AMD 64-bit dual core processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. This is on an HP Pavilion dv3 laptop.
Ubuntu :: Pared Down Command Line For Faster Boot
Jul 8, 2011Would be possible to have a dual boot with Ubuntu only loading the things necessary for command line use of emacs?
I thought it might be good to be able to take notes for class on a quickly booting command line. (It has the added benefit of being less distracting)
Does it work like that? Could a pared down command-line only install be sufficiently faster on boot-up? Might another flavour of Linux be more suited to the task?
Ubuntu Networking :: Script To Run The Modeswitch Command In Boot?

Ubuntu :: Lost Password - Can't Boot To Command Line
Sep 1, 2011I don't recall my Ubuntu password.**
I found instructions regarding recovery.
They involve pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 while booting the Ubuntu live CD.
If I allow the live CD to boot, I arrive at a Ubuntu GUI.
However, if I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the monitor (HDMI TV) goes blank and indicates "no signal
correcting the password from a GUI (can I just go to a command prompt from there somehow, and work from that command prompt?) or getting my video to display when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
** (I remember trying to set up the system with NO password).
It's absurd to require one.
Especially so if a person with a live CD can simply change it (I guess at least the change would be detected).

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: After Update Boot To Grub Command Line
Sep 29, 2010I recently updated, and now when I boot it only goes as far as grub command line. There is no grub menu. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with only Ubuntu installed -- no dual boot, no weird partition schemes. Originally installed Ubuntu 09.04 on this computer, upgraded a couple times and it currently has (had) 10.04.1 LTS running. The update should have upgraded from kernel 2.6.32-23 to 2.6.32-24. I can boot with a live CD and mount the hard drive. The drive seems fine, so it appears to be simply a grub config issue. I have to boot with live cd to get online to check for potential solutions. So I'm taking some notes on how to use grub.

Does anybody know what causes this? I need to be able to use one of these kernels for doing music production.

Dec 20, 2010I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 on my Eee PC 901 (the one that has 2 SSD's). It all went fine, and I ran the update manager straight after install and config. It installed the updates (all 198 of them!) without error. I was prompted to restart, so I did. I got the error "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured". I found out that this error is well documented, and I followed the guide at [url](apparently it affects all variants, not just UNE).
It went O.K., until I tried the command "sudo chroot /media/newroot". I got the error that "cannot run command '/bind/bash': no such file or directory". What should I do?
I cannot boot into and earlier kernel (problem/current one is 2.6.35-23-generic) I can only fix it via live USB stick.
