Ubuntu :: Command Prompt On Startup After Installing Freevo?
Jun 6, 2010
I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and installed Freevo on it from the Medibuntu repositories. After rebooting I get a shell window with no frame in the top-left corner of the screen with the Ubuntu loading screen still taking up the rest of the screen. Typing 'startx' gave a error that there is already a display running on the port.

I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.4 on HP DL580 server with 16 processors and 64 GB of RAM. I'm connecting to the server remotely through SSH. after entering the password, it takes time to return the command line, if I click ctrl+c during this time, I'll have the command line prompt but not the correct bash prompt (I have to run bash to pass to my correct prompt).I tried to install Apache on the server, ./configure took 4 hours to finish instead of 1 or two minutes, Oracle installation same behavior. Server Disks are mirrored using RAID controller.

I don't get a UI login prompt at startup and it makes a sound. I'm using 10.04, though this did happen to me in 9.0x as well. When I press ctrl-alt-F1, I login and sudo gdm stop and do sudo startx this seems to put me at root and there is an error with the applets and the panel does not load. "Killall gnome-panel" does not fix it.
If I simply do startx (w/o going to root), it goes to a black screen and if I press ctrl-alt-F1 it repeats "No protocol specified" until I get the error message xinit: Resource file temporary unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to Xserver.

On startup - prompt asking for apache certificate password doesn't accept input. Can switch to another tty but can't restart apache due to the port already being bound (suppose I could change ports for apache config after startup but that's pretty ugly and clearly not the right way to address the problem.

I've looked quite a bit, but didn't find an answer.
I have a Thinkpad x61s which comes with a "Sierra Wireless Mini Card module".
When I start up my computer, I get prompted for a PUK / PIN.
"Unlocking SIM PUK required" (sorry, this is a direct translation of the French, might not be the exact same words in English)
With three fields to fill:
Code PUK
New PIN Code
Reenter new PIN Code.
I don't have a card in my computer, and broadband mobile is not activated in networkmanager.
Does anyone have an idea how I can disable this prompt (I don't intend to put in a SIM card before some time).

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop -- clean HD, no other partitions.
(It's odd, though; when I go to System -> About Ubuntu, it tells me I have version 11.04 Natty Narwhal.)
Anyhow, when switching on my laptop, a short drumming sound effect can be heard when the login prompt appears on the GUI.
There are numerous threads on the Internet explaining various methods to disable this. I have done everything as instructed in these threads to no avail, including:
1) System -> Administration -> Login Screen -> Unlock -> [enter password] -> make sure "Play login sound" is unchecked (it was already) -> Close
2) System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications -> uncheck "Gnome Login Sound" -> Close
3) System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> Alert volume -> check "Mute" -> Sound theme -> No sounds -> Close
It's foolproof, really. Nevertheless, when restarting the computer, the drum sound is heard again at the login prompt.
I realize I can simply find and delete the sound files, but isn't that a bit harsh? Surely there must be a more elegant way to silence the login.

Is it possible to create a new command prompt in Ubuntu? I have a assignment and I don't fully understand it. I have to make c files and then open them in the command prompt. Would this happen in a new command prompt or I'd have to use the already existing one? Is this even possible?

I just upgraded my desktop to 10.10. All seemed to go fine. The computer then prompted for a reboot, and on rebooting it boots to the shell prompt.

i somehow managed to mess up my install of 10.10 I used the alternate AMD 64 install so now when I login it is only a text prompt. This leads me to believe that I am running in Ubuntu Server. I read this article:
[URL] but my network is not setup!! So I tried to do this: [URL] but when I get to:
Code:
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
I dont realy know how to edit the file.I basicaly see
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[code]....

I'm getting some weird behavior when I log in via ssh to a ubuntu server. When I log in, there is only a $ at the command prompt, no user name. The arrows don't work, they just put the arrow characters in the prompt. Everything else seems to be ok. Also, when I say logged in as User, I meant a new user I just created.

After upgrade to 10.10, I only get the command prompt. Fortunately, all my XP Pro machines are running, and I am using one of them to access this Forum. I suspect that nVidia graphics driver did not load correctly. running startx at the command line gives numerous lines of text apparently understandable xorg gurus. It looks like nvidia_drv.so did not load and module "nvidia" did not load [loader failed, 7] and next line says no drivers loaded.

I have a pretty fresh install on Ubuntu 10.10 Server, with the LAMP bundle installed. Anyway, I just restarted the computer after changing the /etc/network/interfaces script to connect via dhcp. Now when I boot into the server, there is no command prompt and seems to hang there forever, with one blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of the screen. It will not respond to any input besides ctrl-alt-delete. I was able to press control-alt-delete and the computer automatically restarted itself, but it returns to the same state after each reboot. I booted from the grub menu into recovery mode and made sure the /etc/network/interfaces script was correct, and it is. Also I don't think an error in this file should cause the computer to not boot into the command prompt.

It is bit unconvenient to see the mouse cursor while watching a movie. Is there some sort of removal of it?

Code:
.mplayer$ cat config
# Write your default config options here!
zoom=1
fontconfig = "1"
font = "dejavu sans"
[Code]...

Is running a command in the Alt+F2 prompt possible in a bash script?I need this for a launcher for gnome-shell.For it I have written a little script to check if the process gnome-shell is alive and act accordingly.The script works fine, I just don't know how to write "debugexit" to the Alt+F2 prompt, as that is the only decent way I have found to shut gnome-shell down and going back to gdm desktop smoothly.

i wonder if it is usual that the results of running commands via the command line is different from running them in a script file. my problem is that, i've to run 'modprobe -r e100' and 'modprobe e100' before suspend my machine via pmi in order to resume it properly. i wrote a script containg EXACTLY the same commands as i typed in the terminal/console but the result was not the same. the machine cannot be resumed as expected if i run the script file.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 Server. I use screen alot for persistant sessions and suddenly I have a problem. When I type Code: screen -R -DD as usual, I get into screen but there is no command prompt. There is a cursor and I can type commands which work, eg ls. However I don't know which directory I am in, so it makes using it rather hard.

So, I plugged in two hard drives to my server. I started with two, an IDE and an SATA. Then I plugged in another SATA and an external SATA using a PCI controller card.
I currently only have command prompt (Putty) access. How can I set the drives up to be usable. They were on another server that died.

After contracting malware on Vista i decided to switch over to Linux and chose to start of with Ubuntu because of the graphical interface. that being said, you have no doubt inferred that i have no coding experience. basically i was hoping to find some nice tutorials and sites for Ubuntu. Also, i did downloaded the suggested programs and patches but im still experiencing problems with Adobe,flash, and and opening .exe files. for the latter, when i click on .exe files it is equivalent of using explorer on windows so i was wondering how to use the command prompt to open them. supposedly linux is susceptible to malware so if you could please suggest a anti -malware program.

Okay I am curious if anyone knows how to get this screen? I remember having it a while ago before I had to go to windows, and now that I am going back to Linux I would LOVE to have this screen back! I enclosed a screen shot picture. I think its way better than just a blinking cursor.
