OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Professional

[Code].....
on lot of searching I was told that there is an issue with Intel 82945G Chipset and advised me to take a graphic card.What can be done to avoid this. Even I tried to install Intel video driver ut it says it is installed by default. P.s: On BIOS setting I even changed my Video Memory from 128 to MAxDVMT but of no use.

I have two Lenovo laptops: One is a T410 now running on openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4. I got my wireless, keyboard languages/layouts, upgraded firefox... The other, a V570, is currently running Ubuntu 11.4 and I'd like to install openSUSE 11.4 on it.
Here is what I did. Downloaded openSUSE-11.4-DVD-x86_64.iso from software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.4 (Direct link). md5 checksum is good (compared to checksum posted by caf4926). Burned to DVD using Brasero. Installed openSUSE on the T410 (did the media check first from the installation menu - it was ok). Install went well and system is running fine. I'm happy with it
This is the problem I'm having; tried it about 10 times now and every time it's the same. Using the same DVD, trying to install openSUSE 11.4 on the V570 machine; after turning on, it boots from the DVD and I get the following 3 lines and then the cursor just sits at the fourth and does not continue
ELILO boot: ..........
Loading kernel linux... done
Loading file initrd...done

I bought an Asus N61jq a few months ago, and almost every time I boot into Ubuntu (live usb, and wubi install) and reboot into Windows 7 x64, the machine starts freezing; no BSODs no nothing, just locks up. This freezing is seemingly random, and can happen even after 3-4 reboots. I realized this has something to do with me mounting my ntfs partitions in Ubuntu, and the problem disappeared after running scandisk.

My new Alienware M17X-R2 notebook freezes when it's working on battery power and the AC adapter is then plugged in. If I do that while Ubuntu isn't running -- while the computer is booting, for instance --, then it doesn't freeze, so the problem must be with Ubuntu. By the way, I also experience freezing sometimes when booting, but that is linked with plymouth and fsck not wanting to coexist and, therefore, probably unrelated with the other issue.

I am having this problem with F 10. First I get the infamous message: Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds. at the beginning of the booting process. then after I initiate startx, I use gnome, all works fine and only for few minutes and the system freezes. At first the mouse freezes, then after 30 seconds or so, the mouse's cursor can move but clicks are ineffective, not even Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, or Ctrl+Alt+Del. I have to do hard reset.

I made a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on a Sony PCG-81112M, the graphic cards is identified by lspci as "nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce FT 330M]". Quite frequently everything but the mouse pointer freezed on the screen, I found no way to recover from these situations but to restart the computer using the power button.
I decided to install the proprietary driver (as this is the recommended driver, I was confident this would solve the problem). As a consequence the system now hangs on boot after showing the Ubuntu 10.10 inial logo/text. I could start in recovery mode, but I'm not sure to which driver I should try to change to. I really need no fancy 3d stuff, just a robust computer to which I can attach and detach an external screen.

First happened after the installation of VirtualBox OSE. Freezes right afterStarting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3and, in one instance, on the following line. Doesn't accept input and the cursor stops blinking on either state. VirtualBox's drivers are one of the closest lines to the last one and, in one instance, one of these lines reported an error. I can boot recovery mode and have already removed VirtualBox. Given it was installed with a live netinst CD image (on a USB stick) and I have a history of bad installations with this image, I'll try to install the normal CD image, although this will take some time.
Specs:
HP Mini 110-3110BR
Intel Atom N455 (1,66 GHz)
160 GB (5400 RPM) HD
1 GB DDR2 SDRAM (1 Dimm)

i decided to install ubuntu in my PC,i downloaded the .ISO image and i installed it in my USB. After trying it and all that i observed that i really liked it and i decided to formally install it to my computer in the hard drive. When i reached the partition thing,i selected to dual boot with Vista and select between each them in every startup,when i clicked FORWARD it gave me an error which i did not read(because,again im a noob) so i clicked cancel.
Today i wanted to go through the process again and now really install it,so again i went to the time zone part and i clicked forward but then,instead of taking me straight to the partition phase,it appeard a window saying "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ...." I clicked yes,to unmount this partitions so it took me to the partition thing,once there i selected the option to install Ubuntu with Vista and select between them i neach startup,then i clicked forward and went to the username/computer name process,once i finished i continued to the next part,the installation,but i selected to import all of my WIndows VIsta default user data,after that i clicked forward and went to the installation process,i went down stairs to eat soemthing while it finishes,i came back and it was finished,it asked me to reboot so i clicked in Restart Now.
When it tried to boot,appeared an error saying: Error: no such devide found: #################### Grub load(or something like that) grub rescue: and it was a command line,since there i havent been able to boot into vista or Ubuntu,im really scared because is the first thing related to OS installing ive done,so i booted my USB and ran the trial and right now im trying to find out what to do from that trial version.
I just went to the INSTALL UBUNTU 10.04 LTS application under the System>Administration Menu and found out that in the partition phase the Install and allow to select between both systems in eahc startup option,i dont know what to do,i foudn out that my HD has still all its data(MUsic/Videos/Folders/Programs/ect.)its just that i cannot boot from it. Also in GParted it appears as /dev/sda1/ and a warning icon besides it,also when i go into information, thers this warning there [URL]

I am a brand new ubuntu user, heard lots of good things about it so thought I would give it a go on my laptop. However, I have tried installations of Ubuntu 10.04 (notebook version) and Xubuntu. Yet on both attempts to install the OS it has stalled at the "Setting up the clock" dialogue box, it just sits at 0% and remains frozen (mouse still moves etc but nothing happens).
I really want to give Ubuntu / Xubuntu a go and my forum trawling has brought nothing to light so far.

I am having difficulty installing Ubuntu on a new PC. Hardware is thus:MB: ASUS M4N68T-MCPU AMD Phenom II 3.2 GHzMem: Kingston 2GB DDR3-1800HDD: Seagate Barracuda 80 GB SATAvideo is on-board, cannot find the details regarding chipset.I have tried both 7.10 and 10.10 (would prefer to use 7.10) but both versions hang at the same point during installation.Live mode works fine on both versions.Tried burning 7.10 to CD at 4x write speed.Set MB bios "Plug and Play OS" to yes.When it hangs, the mouse freezes, then the video wigs out (think Van Gogh on acid) and only a hard power down will un-freeze it.

I'm a complete noob trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 on my first build for use as a file/media server.When I get to the step to partition the drives, the installation freezes. The screen says "Starting disk partitioner" and the progress bar stops at 45%. It has done this three times now, and the longest I waited for it before rebooting was over an hour.I am installing from a flash drive containing the .iso file, and I have the following hardware (in case that matters): asus p7h55-m pro mobo, core i3-540 CPU, 2x4GB ram, WD caviar green 1.5TB, WD caviar green 1TB, and Kingston 8GB SSD.

I have Dell Vostro laptop with Core2 processor 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM. I want to install Fedora. I tried to install it with Fedora_14_ 32 bit and Fedora_14_ 64 bit. After booting by DVD or USB, I get initial blue screen in which I select Install and it starts for few seconds and freezes there, it does not move ahead. I got Fedora 32 bit DVD from Fedora so it should have come with checksum checked. So IMO DVD is ok, it is something else with regard to hardware detection, stopping installation to go ahead. I tried 3 times, but do not go ahead.

I'm trying to install on HP ML 350 F13 G6 with standard array controller and 3 drives in raid 5. Well, when the installation process get the screen that shows the files copied (all copied...) , it freezes and does not advance more. Perhaps groped a firmware update? Other distributions are installed correctly.

I'm new to the Debian, but not to Linux. I've previously used Ubuntu for a few years, so I know something about how a successful installation should look like. I'm currently using Windows 7.
I downloaded the debian-6.0.3-amd64-gnome-netinst.iso from [URL] ...., and then made a USB pendrive using the Windows version of Unetbootin. The MD5 sum for the .iso-file was the correct one, b663727d7f5b572c329cea8e2ff5e29c.
I used the usual non-graphical setup, without any special options. The installation process went without hiccups until the "Starting up the partitioner" -screen freezes at "Scanning disks...". The bar stops at 50%. It never progresses any farther, even after an hour. It doesn't give any errors either. After I pressed Alt+F4, the last lines were:
Code: Select allpartman: No matching physical volumes found
partman: No volume groups found
partman: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
partman-lvm: No volumegroups found
Exactly the same happens with firmware-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso too, or any of the live versions I tried. The result of graphical installation was also nothing. The USB pendrive created by LinuxLive USB Creator was nonoperative in exactly the same way.
The computer is brand new, without any previous OS installations. My desktop computer has the following parts:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T, AM3, 2.8 GHz (HDT55TFBGRBOX)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, AM3+, AMD 970, DDR3, ATX
Videocard: Gigabyte GT 430
Memory: Kingston 2x2 GB, DDR3 1066MHz, CL7 (KVR1066D3N7K2/4G)
Harddrive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ
Powersupply: OCZ 600W ModXstream, ATX 2.2, (OCZ600MXSP-EU)

As I mentioned before, I has having freezes while installing F12 (x86_64) with a GeForce 8600 GT. I was able to complete the installation by doing it with the "basic" video driver. However, I was still getting frequent freezes. I installed the testing Nvidia drivers, and the freezes went away. When it froze, it was a hard freeze -- it wouldn't respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL or SysRq (I did enable SysRq first). I had to do a hard reset.

We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and at the login screen, if I click anywhere on the screen, the entire system freezes. I can't open up the terminal or anything at this point, I have to restart the computer.
This also happens when I use the live CD.
I've done apt-get update, dist-upgrade... no change. Not to mention, I can't get into xorg anymore to change the video driver to VESA (it's always had trouble in previous versions without the restricted nvidia drivers)

I have been trying to install Ubuntu for about 2 days now. First I downloaded and burnt to a Disc Ubuntu 10.4 32-bit i386, the process of booting into the Live CD would freeze the computer. So....I downloaded the alternate install of the same Distro/etc. I have deleted all of the partitions to create the Free space on the hard drive then use the "guided" option for installation. Ubuntu partitions the ext4 and the swap space, but freezes at a blue screen right after and does not proceed with the installation.
I read somewhere that it is possible if there was ever a RAID configuration that there is possibly some META data left over on the Hard drive that needs to be erased. If this is the case I believe I have the command that will do so....BUT I do not know how to get to a terminal from the alternate install CD....is it possible?

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my older computer. Before the installation I used Windows Vista and Windows 7 and I decided to do a clean installation. When I ran Ubuntu from DVD it was perfectly healthy and no problems appeared. After the installation there became random freezes. The system freezes but mouse is still moving and can't do anything else than reboot.
From the other topics I read that it might be a problem with GPU drivers and I heard about this Envy program which might be able to install some drivers but don't know how to install that.
The computer is pretty old:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+
ASUS M2R-FVM (includes integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1150)
1 GB of RAM
320GB Hard drive
And I couldn't find any Linux drivers for the graphic card from AMD's internet page.

I'm trying to install 10.04 Ubuntu using a USB drive. I restart the machine and I get the Ubuntu start up screen. I select to install Ubuntu on my hard drive. It does its loading process and brings up the splash screen. The red lights blink for about 10 seconds then stop. Everything freezes: the keyboard, mouse, screen, lights, everything. I can still perform a reboot, but this situation happens everytime I try to load.
Here are some system specs for my computer (edit: these are the correct settings. The settings I have in my sig are not correct. I will change them soon. Sorry about the discrepancy)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40Ghz
Nvidea GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card
Trying to create a Windows 7 dual boot
8GB Memory
I tried a few things with sending noapic and nolapic as parameters to boot and that didn't work as well.

Well, it's a weird problem.
I had an old desktop pc, and I downloaded and burned both Karmic and Lucid desktop and alternate ISOs. I installed the karmic alternate in that PC, and things went smoothly.
Now a friend of mine gave me his old Packard Bell Easynote R laptop. It has a centrino 1.6GHz mother, 1GB RAM and a 60GB disk. The GPU (Geforce Go 6200) overheats a lot, but I have lurked around and found out this is a common issue.
Well, so I installed Win XP, and recently I wanted to install xubuntu here as well.
Thing is, the desktop install freezes. It does nothing, I can't even use the Live CD.
The alternate install goes well until the proper install, and then starts complaining about missing files in the CD.
Two things: The CD is perfect, I just tried it on my other desptop PC and it goes well.
The laptop cd tray is well too, I install things all the time, and I tried to install a game after this happened, to try and see if it was this, but it appears to work just fine.
I don't know what could be causing this. And I don't know enough to change things at the install prompt (noacpi, thing like that, I don't know what they mean).
Has anyone experienced something like this? If so, is there a solution? I believe this laptop cannot boot from flash drive, in the boot menu I only have HD, CD-DVD, Floppy and LAN.
Another thing: If is a CD issue, is there a way to install this from LAN? (that is, using my other working PC to do this?)

I've just done a clean install of 10.4.1 onto a Compaq Pressario Desktop, which earlier had 8.04, upgraded online to 10.04.1.Repartitioned and installed from an iso disc, checked for Md5sum.All seemed to go as per text book, but when the system starts there is a momentary error message"no suitable mode""no command terminal found"It then proceeds to show the default purple hazy background, but stops there, with no other parts of the normal desktop, icons etc .After about three minutes, it goes black, and if I then hit the enter key, or move the mouse, it displays the log in window and asks for my password.I enter this, and again it reverts to the purple haze.This cycle repeats.I've checked the boot order to boot from the hdd first, so I'm stumped as to what to try next, apart from going through the whole install process again

I have 2 HDD, one is 500 GB, the other is 70 GB, 1.5 GB RAM and a 256 MB nVidia graphics card.In one HDD I have Win XP 32 bits, the other one is empty, and I want to install Ubuntu, so I downloaded the .iso 32 bits from the official page, burned it with the recommended software, no problems (I used the slowest speed).I reboot the computer, BIOS > Boot from CD, and Ubuntu screen appears (sorta purple with black).About 10 mins pass by, it's still "loading" or something, and, suddenly, it just freezes, out of the nowhere.Here's a short vid of what happens:

I have a PC with Windows XP SP2. It had two HDDs, one (IDE) with partitions C: (boot) and D:, and another (IDE) 200GB disk, E:.
Recently, the second disk caused the system to issue filesystem error messages on boot. I decided to image it to another location on the home LAN, and then to copy the image to a new disk.
So I have used "Live Ubuntu" "ddrescue" to salvage the disk image (with only about several k of error sectors) to another file on an SMB share.
I then got a new 500 GB SATA HDD, used a "Promise 4302" IDE-to-SATA PCI controller to interface to it, loaded the "Live Ubuntu" and used "ddrescue" to copy the old disk image to the new HDD. (The Ubuntu kernel 2.6 recognized the SATA disk and its "Promise" controller with no problems). So far, all according to instructions.
Now, according to instructions, the next step is to boot the XP system and let it do CHKDISK /F on the new disk.
The problem is: the computer freezes (hangs) in the initial step of the boot.
I tried to do a "Repair install" using an XP install CD - again the PC freezes after the message: "Inspecting your hardware".
Using the same XP install CD, it tried going into the "XP Recovery console" (in order to do "CHKDISK /F") - again, the PC freezes after "inspecting your hardware".
Booting the same PC from an Ubunbtu Live CD, situation is much better. When Ubuntu boots, it says: "Incomplete multi-sector transfer, Input/output error", but then it continues normally.
lshw says:
Hardware: HP Pavilion A305W, Trigem Glendale motherboard, CPU: Intel Celeron 2.7 GHz
Memory: 2GB DIMM DDR
Storage: IDE Intel 82801 (ICH4)
Logical: /dev/sda
[Code]....
I read somewhere that I should change the partition ID from 83 to 0 or 7 (NTFS). But using fdisk (or cfdisk) and changing the partition ID (=type) (and doing "w" - namely: save) - does not actually change the ID.
