Ubuntu :: GUI Stalls When Sound Is Out?
Jul 21, 2010
At times sound does not work and opening Sound Preferences produces only "Waiting for sound system to respond". Any time a sound would play in Firefox or Thunderbird it instead stalls the application window (or all windows) from responding for about 5 seconds.
Sometimes closing all applications and restarting clears up the sound problem and the stalling. But it usually comes back after shutting down with some applications left open. I do not restore saved applications at sign-in.

This is what is happening I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS MD5 check and everything good for burning
Burned the image and restarted my laptop for installation.
Well I get the Ubuntu logo with the little points down and looks like loading but it stalls and does nothing after some time.
Don't know what to do I'm on Fedora now but I want ubuntu.

I have tried installing Ubuntu 9.10, 64 and also 32 bit versions, neither works. During the install, I get to the step where the installer wants to bring up and show the partitions but the partitions never appear. If I quit, I am show the Ubuntu live screen where if I bring up Gparted and choose to install on the unused partition (second half of a data drive), the install proceeds but stalls at about 15% partitioning of that space.
I have installed Ubuntu many times before, have used gparted live to resize and create partitions in the past, something seems really amiss this time. And all I can think of is that I now have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (quad core AMD processor, 64 bit, 8GB ram; two hard drives, Win7 on the first drive, second drive is data on a partition and an empty unused partition to which I unsuccessfully try to install Ubuntu 9.10.
Is it just Win 7 messing this up? If it is Win7, that is very very disturbing.
I was not even able to get Wubi to work-- in installed, but then when I rebooted and chose to boot into Wubi I got an endless jam up of errors windows on the screen saying there was no "/" root partition.

I have a box which was upgraded to 10.04 server. I also installed the ubuntu-desktop package and it's configured to autologon a user and then vino shares the user's desktop to the network. I do it this way because the server has no monitor/keyboard/mouse attached.
The problem I had, is that "if" one of the filesystems fails to mount at bootup. The machine sits there waiting for keyboard input on what it should do.
Quote:
"File system xyz failed to mount, the device is not available or not ready.
Continue to wait;S to Skip;M for Manual Recovery"
Is there a way to influence the default behavior in the event of a failed mounting operation? (so there's no need for a keyboard to be attached.)

I was previously running Ubuntu 9.04, with no problems, however since installing 10.04 this past weekend, I noticed a problem today.We have a NetApp FAS250 at work, formatted as CIFS filesystem so our windows users can access it. With 9.04 I had no problem ready and writing to the shares.Today, I tried to copy some files from one folder to another and the "File Operation" dialog came up with 0 bytes of 2.8MB -- 0 seconds left (0 bytes/sec). However, no files are being copied.
I closed the dialog and tried again, same thing.After a reboot I tried to copy files off the share to my hard, same thing, the dialog would just sit there.After another reboot, I tried to copy files from my hard drive to my hard drive (different folder), that works fine, and copying from my hard drive to the network works fine. Just not from the network.

I've got a fresh install from the alternate CD. The thin client gets to the point where the screen fills with dots .........done, then it just sits there and does nothing else. No error messages or anything. I have a two nic setup that worked great on karmic and haven't changed any of the hardware around or anything. I'm at a loss as to what to do, I've reinstalled several different times fiddled with every setting I could think of and searched and read till my eyeballs are ready to fall out. It has become a matter of principle to me now and I refuse to go back to an earlier version.

Total noob here. I am trying to install Mythbuntu 10.10 on a computer with and empty hard drive using a CD.The install start fine, I make a couple of selections to tell the installer I want to use the entire harddrive, select the timezone and the install starts without any problems. Unfortunatly after about 30min or so, the installation seem to be stalled out with the progress bar at the 85-90% range. There are no obvious errors in the log.
I have successing installed Ubuntu in the past (although not on this hardware). The PC includes an IDE based DVD-R, 120Gb sata based ssd, 939 dual core processor. 8600GT video card. 2Gb memory. One possibility is that I don't have a TV tuner card installed yet. Was going to do that after I got Ubuntu up and running but perhaps the installer is looking for a tuner card. I realize I am not giving anyone much to work but I am not sure what I could post.

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my workstation (MB Asus P6X58D Premium) and cannot copy large files (350 MB) to USB Sticks. If i copy one file the copy dialog hangs at ~99% and if I Try to copy 2 or more files it hangs after 99% of the first file but if the files are smaller (3-5 MB) it copies about 5 files but not more.(Its the same if i try to create a USB Startup disk or if I copy from the terminal)I tried different filesystems (ext3 fat32 ntfs) but its always the same bug.I tried 2 different Sticks with the same result but both sticks work on a 10.10 box or with win7.I read about a similar bug in natty beta 1-2 but it should have been resolved with release i think.

I've downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 from the UK mirror of the Ubuntu site. When I try to install the OS from the CD it stalls at various different places. I have been able to get it to a max of 25% of installation before stalling, but more often than not it stalls when I'm trying to choose the keyboard type, or when I'm trying to setup my username / PC hostname.
I've carried out an md5sum on the iso and it shows no errors. I've downloaded the iso a second time and carried out the same check, and similarly no errors.

I am currently running Lucid on my system and can't seem to get my printer on a Windows XP computer to print documents sent from my Ubuntu computer. I can see the Windows XP computer in Nautilus under Network and can even access the shared files on the Windows computer with no problem. I have been able to install the Windows shared printer on my Ubuntu computer using System>Administration>Printing>Add>Network Printer>"Windows Printer via Samba" without any error messages. The problem is that whenever I send a printing job to the shared printer, the printer acts like it is going to start printing then automatically stops just right before the paper is going to be fed. I have memorized the noises my printer makes right before the paper gets fed. That is how I know it stalls right before the paper is about to be fed.
When I check the print queue on my Windows computer, its status is "printing", but it never does. I have tried this with two different HP printers (Deskjet 3940 & PSC 1410), and it is the exact same problem on both.

Rhythmbox stalls my computer. I start it and within 10-20 seconds it starts to search something (i.e. in the right bottom there appears a box with a red box sliding left and right). It consumes all my memory (1 giga) and the only thing it does is identify text files in a general directory, NOT in Music. I have completely removed the install, installed it again, the same text files earlier IDed are still there? Is there an alternative?
Computer details: Intel dual core, Nvidia, 64 bit Lucid. The flaw is that it runs on single memory.

The basics: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid x64 with Firefox 3.6.11 on a Thinkpad T61p 2gb ram/500gb HD. When I try to access my email via Squirrelmail, Firefox hangs on loading. If I stop the page from loading, wait a few minutes, then try again, I have a 50:50 chance of it loading this time.
I've run the update to make sure I have the most recent versions of software, but it still hangs. I've tried a few cursory searches, but find nothing referencing Lucid or that is otherwise current.

Using UNetBootin on Windows, I flashed a USB keydrive with the Ubuntu 10.04 Minimal CD and proceeded to boot up a brand new PC.
Problem is, after choosing Install, language/keyboard, and then a repository from which to download files, the installer just stops there. I tried two different repositories, to no avail. The network hardware is correctly detected and set through DHCP.
Has someone seen this? Should I use an other option?

I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a 700mHz "lamp" iMac for a home school. I managed to install Ubuntu 10.04 via the alternate iso, but when it boots up it only goes as far as a black screen with "Ubuntu" in white lettering above four dots of which only three are colored red before it stalls. I just can't trick 10.04 to booting up past three red dots.

I started with a fresh install of fedora 12. I have never encountered this problem before but yum seems to stall when I install rpmfusion packages. I have tried this multiple times, it works as long as I do not install them.
It stalls after this line.
Code:
I am guessing it has to do with the rpmfusion servers/mirrors? I just want to install the propreitary wireless and graphics card drivers, can this be done without using rpmfusion? (i.e. alternatives to kmod-wl and kmod-nvidia)

I am trying to upgrade my F12 system ti F15 using the PreUgrade route. The initial package download goes Ok but on re-boot I can only access my old F12 system. df reports 44M avail in /boot which is on sdd1. Since I do have a multiboot system I checked that there was an "update" folder under "boot" and that it had the update versions of vmlinuz and initrd which it had. I edited "menu 1st" as described in the Pre-Upgrade notes setting the root entry to (hd0,0) as used for my working system and then did a re-boot. I selected the new upgrade entry in the GRUB menu but the system complained that it couldn't find a file. I have tried using root (hd3,0) but this does not work either. What am I doing wrong?

I have 11.3 Gnome installed on a Dell Optiplex380, and I can fully shutdown, but the system hangs when I try to Restart. The Geeko logo is there and the white bar retracts, once it hits all gray it stays there until I force a hard-shutdown holding the computer power-button.What steps can I take to fix this or start troubleshooting?

I've noticed this weird behavior where kTorrent would just stall downloading stuff if left on its own for a few hours. Once you activate kTorrent window from the panel it just gets on with the job, changing status from "stalled" to "downloading" in a few seconds.
Could it have something to do with the external disk I'm downloading on (some of the downloads, not all) being physically different one and connected via usb but mounted in a home directory?
I suspect this because Windows machine connected via samba also loses connection after a while as if there's some "time expiration" set on mounting drives into home.
Here is the fstab line for the suspected mount:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Seagate_FreeAgentDesktop_3QK0A0N7-0:0-part1 /home/stan/Seagate ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2

I have set up a server using Suse, which I have done several times. This one is running 11.2 'Emerald'. It has 2 network cards. One is connected to a bt router with a static ip, and the other is for the internal network. The server is used as the gateway for the internet via masquerading. I have 2 issues, which I suspect are related. I can ssh to and from the server fine, but if I try to scp a file, it is fine sending to a remote machine, but stalls if I try the other way.
It also stalls if I try and send from the remote machine to this one. I have tried debug mode, but no 'error's occur, it just stalls.The internet connection is also very slow and sometimes stalls, so there may be a link.I am not new to linux, but this has me baffled. This server replaced a Suse 10.2 server with similar config, and that worked fine.The firewall allows ssh, so I don't think its that.

I am trying to install the PPC kernel on an iBook G3. The CDs boot up, however both the net-install and the regular install cd both freeze up after it looks for harddisks. The screen is blue. The box title says
"Loading additional components"
"0%"
"Retrieving lvm2-udeb"
I have no clue what to do. I am trying to get an error readout, but nothing but the power button works. It shuts it off. I check the system clock and it was wrong, but I got it set to the correct time. I don't have and OSX disks. I am wanting a full Linux HD. Please let me know how to trouble shoot. (I have seen that many people have no problem installing this on there macs. The os is still working on the os side, but I want to switch it to Linux.)

I have installed OpenSuse 11.4 as a Xen guest on a host system running SLES11 and it gets stuck just as it reaches run level 3. I can ping it and various network ports are open but the virtual text console is unresponsive and I cannot ssh to the machine. Port 10080 (Amanda backup) is also open but not functioning properly. The odd thing is that this problem happened when I first installed the guest and then went away only to reappear when I rebooted after installing the latest kernel via Online Update.
Here are the last few messages on the console:
Starting NFS client services: sm-notify idmapd..done

I have installed splashy from sid. Rest of the system is squeeze, and put the parameter "vga=791 splash quiet" in the kernel parameter...
Unfortunately this is not working properly. It does load the splash image as intended, but it then just hangs here, and does not load the OS unless I press enter. (I asume that something is hangning, but I cannot see the shell from here, and ctrl+f2-f6 is not working so I cannot get to any tty).
Then after boot, I can only see the / partition. But not /home. Duing a fdisk -l shows up the partitions, so they are there, just not mounted at boot?
If I press F2 at boot, before the image shows up, it does actually boot without any issues at all. It must be something with the image loading that is causing this.

I have used Debian on this computer for over a year now. A little while back update manager stopped working. It now prompts me to update a varying number of packages (85-97), but when I try and run it I get this message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I'm not sure where to report this. I'm the only user of this computer. I tried running dpkg as directed, but that results in the following:
shop-amd-rebuild:/home/steve# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 (2.6.26-26lenny1) ...
Running depmod.
Running mkinitramfs-kpkg.
[Code]....
I'd sure like to update, and not reinstall.

I am doing a clean install of Fedora 13 XFCE4 spin from the live CD. Live CD boots and functions normally. Installation from Live CD works as advertised up to point where the installer starts to copy the disk image to the HD. Progress bar initially moved fairly rapidly then stopped and installations stalls.
I've tried the installation three times with the same result. I've seen other posts referring to problems with SELinux, but this should not be a factor here as the install is clean.

When rebooting a fresh Fedora 15 install or even after the end stage of the actual installation itself, my Acer Aspire One (AOA110) with 16GB SSD and 3309 BIOS just stalls.
I have tried installing to the SSD and also to an external USB connected HDD.
In all cases the actual reboot process stalls when shutting down and I have to power cycle the netbook to reboot it. The boot process works perfectly and F15 starts up fine.
If I use a "poweroff" command instead of a "reboot" command, the netbook powers off correctly. It's just the reboot that doesn't work. All updates have been applied to F15.
I should mention that it works correctly under F14...

I want to extract a huge .tar.gz file but when I do extract it stalls the server. The server is write heavy and extracting seems to choke the disk. Is there a nice way to extract without stopping the world? I've tried the 'nice' and 'cpulimit' command but they don't seem to do the trick.
