Ubuntu :: Can't Switch To Console / Troubleshoot This?

Oct 13, 2010

Just upgraded to maveric desktop and can't switch to console no longer. Pressing ctrl-alt-f1 etc pauses the screen and removes the mouse pointer, the console is not shown. Pressing ctrl-alt-f7 unfreezes the screen again and shows mouse pointer.

I know it doesn't happen to many other people but happened to me. Any ideas how to troubleshoot/fix?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Switch From GUI To Console Mode?

Mar 31, 2011

I'm having difficulty switching from GUI to console mode. I use ctrl-alt-f1 and the screen goes blank and I see a flashing cursor but I'm unable to do anything. I can switch back into GUI mode using ctrl-alt-f7. Also at times I see the word Ubuntu with 4 dots and 2 of them are orange if that's of any use. Like the initial boot loading screen.

I've tried going back to the default display drivers and that hasn't solved it. I'm using a CRT that's connected up to my display card via a VGA > DVI converter. *I've just checked and I can't get into recovery mode either

Fedora :: Switch User From Console?

Nov 15, 2010

As everyone knows, the graphic user can be swithed with Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or F1 in Fedora). There are also a few text mode consoles - Ctrl+Alt+F2...F6.

Fortunately, there is a Switch User button when the screen is locked from Gnome with the default screensaver.

The question is how can a new graphical user be switched from console (Ctrl+Alt+F2...F6) if the screen is locked by some other screensaver which does not have this function?

General :: Cannot Switch Ttys In Console

Jul 7, 2010

[Arch Linux] This has been mildly annoying ever since I installed Arch. From X, I can switch to any of my ttys, using Ctrl+Alt+FN. But when I'm in a console, that key combination does nothing, and I have to restart X11 to get back.

Debian Multimedia :: CTRL-ALT-F* Doesn't Work Anymore To Switch To Console?

Jan 26, 2010

not sure exactly when this broke, but for some reason I'm not able to use CTRL-ALT-F1 anymore to fall back to the first virtual console.I can kill X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE just fine, but I'd like to be able to get a normal shell to kill things when I've messed too much with graphical stuff.

OpenSUSE Install :: Switch User Fails On Greeter Console / Setting Now Under KDE47?

Aug 29, 2011

I am running 11.4_64, KDE47 (recent update from 46)
I have three Suse Linux pcs on my network.
I'll call them desktop, media center and laptop.

I am logged in to my desktop , I want to open a new session and log in to my media center.

From GUI, I select application launcher - leave -switch user and get a fresh kdm greeter screen.

On the Greeter screen, I select Menu - Remote Login
A window opens displaying three machines - my desktop, my laptop and my media center.
When I move the mouse into the new window to select the media center as the new target machine, the window immediately closes.

I have Xdmcp access enabled in kdmrc on all three systems(and rebooted).

This did work fine back when I was on KDE45 and KDE46.

Is there a new permission or setting now under KDE47?

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Into 9.10 / Troubleshoot It?

Apr 8, 2010

I was trying to get rid of some sound issues, in the process I removed Pulseaudio, then I found a post with a couple of packages from a ppa that were made for using Alsa without pulseaudio. I can't find the link now as I'm on a different pc, but 1 package was named Gnome applet, another Gnome media (I think) and I can't recall the third. It really did nothing so I removed them and reinstalled the Pulseaudio packages to atleast get some sound back. I got right back where I started until I rebooted.

Now it gets to the splash screen, flickers a couple times and I get a giant generic login screen If I log into that, I go back to the splash screen and the same login all over again. I tried to repair packages with the recovery mode but it didn't do any good. I also tried renaming xorg.conf just for the hell of it so a new one would be made but that really didn't do anything either.

Ubuntu :: Very Slow Response - How To Troubleshoot?

Jan 11, 2010

My Kubuntu installation (9.10) boots up normally and seems to run fine, other than it is very slow to respond to inputs or change screens/ applications etc. It can take 5-10 seconds to respond to simple requests like changing from firefox to dolphin by clicking in the taskbar. It is dual boot with XP, which also seems sluggish, but is bearable.

The computer is barely useable in Kubuntu because of the slow response. I had 9.04 installed before, same problem. I tried searching for drivers for the on board video, thinking that might be it, but came up empty.

Ubuntu :: Troubleshoot Corrupt Ext4 Filesystem?

Apr 16, 2010

am having issues with a corrupted ext4 filesystem. My machine has run flawlessly for weeks, then all of a sudden I am getting messages that I can't access various directories, and on reboot fsck dumps to a command line. So far I have been able to fix the problem by manually running fsck. However, this is the second time that I have run into this problem; the previous time I ended up throwing out my hard drive and doing a clean install.I am running a clean install of Karmic Koala, software RAID, 4 Gb RAM, two 500 Gb Western Digital SATA drives, with an Intel E7200 2.53 Ghz dual core processor.Among other applications, I run VMware 7.0 for the occasional task for which I need a Windows program.

Ubuntu :: Net No Longer Connects Within VM (W7 Host) / Troubleshoot This?

Sep 18, 2010

I've been running an Ubuntu VM (10.04 LTS) on my Win7 (Home Premium 64bit) desktop successfully for several months now using VMPlayer (v3.1.1). My problem began when I booted up the VM today - my wife decided to reboot the PC without gracefully closing down my applications when Windows told her that she needed to reboot to complete security updates.

When I booted up the VM, the Ubuntu desktop went right back to the exact same state that it was in before the host reboot - the same programs were open, I didn't need to log in, etc. However... I now have no networking. The network icon (NetworkManager Applet 0. shows the red exclamation point. If I click on Auto eth0, it attempts to connect for a bit, and then says "offline".

My VMware Player settings for this VM are configured for bridged networking, and the "network adapter" icon shows online. If I go into the VMWare Player settings and change the networking to NAT, and then click on Auto eth0 again, the networking comes online. However, I don't want NAT - I want this Ubuntu client exposed to my network with it's own IP address.

At this point, I'm really not sure if the problem is within Ubuntu or within VMWare Player, or something on my Win7 host. I have zero skill at troubleshooting within Ubuntu - still fairly new to the linux scene. My Windows firewall is turned off. DHCP is enabled on my network, and the router is available.

Any ideas on how I might further troubleshoot this problem?

Ubuntu :: Troubleshoot No Internet Connection On New Installation

May 21, 2011

I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 3610 notebook. 2 GB RAM. This notebook had Internet access previously via Windows XP (now erased). Here is the partitioned drive. Two ext4 partitions for ubuntu "/" and "/home". Two ntfs partitions possibly for Windows. I have booted up the fresh installation of ubuntu 10.10. I had some glitch where I saw "Operating system not found' on booting from HDD and I wondered if this was due to failing drive.

But I've run a full test using Disk Utility and it shows as healthy. This message has gone away (I don't know why) and I can boot into ubuntu. The problem I'm trying to solve is simply no internet connection. Here are some outputs from commands ..

Fedora :: Cannot Login - How To Troubleshoot

Aug 9, 2009

I recently installed F11 only to find my soundcard wasn't supported (Asus Xonar Essence STX). I read around a bit and saw that kernel 2.6.30 supported it, so I upped the kernel to 2.6.34

So I configured/compiled my kernel, restarted and it showed up fine in the boot loader. Only problem I have is when I go to login through the login prompt, it acts like it is going to login only to get kicked back out to the login prompt again. I tried to login through the terminal view.... everything checks out there.

I am fairly new to linux in general so I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I tried finding an error in it but I couldn't find anything.

Ubuntu :: Lucid - Random System Lockups - How To Troubleshoot?

May 14, 2010

Since upgrading to lucid, I have been experiencing regular system lockups. About once a day, my X desktop will disappear and I'll see a TTY with a few old console messages and at that point everything is completely frozen and I must hard reboot.

I have checked out various logs in /var/log and found nothing at all that indicates the system knew anything bad was happening. What is the correct approach to try to narrow this down?

Ubuntu :: Font Changed In Firefox Browser / Troubleshoot It?

Mar 30, 2011

After installing Linux Multimedia Studio the fonts on my firefox4 browser has slightly changed. I remember during the installation that it installed some fonts so maybe it has something to do with that.

The default font settings on my firefox has remained the same but it looks different than before. On certain websites like facebook the main font looks different. I uninstalled LMMS thinking it would bring back the default font settings but it hasnt.

Any ideas how I can bring it back to my default settings on firefox?

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Troubleshoot Cups Segmentation Faults

Apr 5, 2011

I've set up a new virtual server (ubuntu 10.04 LTS on RHEVM, "uname -a Linux print-me 2.6.32-31-server #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 23:33:39 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux") 2 weeks ago just for cups and samba printing (no other filesharing). Ran tests and it looked fine, then last friday I have added 10 Ricoh printers and 3 hp printers. Looked fine, apart from an issue with one "HP Color Laserjet 2600n", but resolved this with the help of the driver found here: [URL].. Since saturday, cups crashes daily in the morning with a segmentation fault (segfault:, eg:
