Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Server: Cannot Login After Installation?
Dec 30, 2010
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 server on a dual Opteron Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220.After reboot the screen goes black (as if X is probing), displays garbage (short white horizontal stripes aligned such that I get 2 broken vertical stripes) and the system seems to stop (no visible reaction to keyboard input, console switching apparently not working, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE no visible effect, HD LED switches off and on only sporadically for very short time). This happens regardless of booting the normal or the rescue image. The last visible output from the rescue boot says something about init-bottom, but I can't see if it succeeds or not.The installation process itself fell back to text console, which was fine for me

I just installed 10.04 LTS and installed mysql-server 5.1. During install I had to enter a password and verify it. Standard procedure. But now I cannot login.
root@mycomputer:~#mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
mysql is running and nothing in mysql-logs. I rebooted the machine and reinstalled mysql-server several times using the following commands: apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-common and apt-get install mysql-server mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-common
I tried a different password or an empty password on my reinstall-attempts, but nothing changed. I couldnt find a way to access mysql.

I just did "do-release-upgrade" from ubuntu 9.10 > 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 which successful but after a restart, no login console just a blinking underscore. However I still able to login to server using ssh. During the boot I saw this failure "Starting system V runlevel compatibility [fail]".

I have a problem with running Apache web server. I think my problem is either I can not get httpd to load automatically or it's being blocked from external unless I'm logged in, don't know which. Or, I'm completely off base. Either way, being logged in solves the problem. Now I just need to fix it. This is a brand new server running latest apache and fedora 10 (all fully patched). Loaded from source to all default (non RPM directories - apache is /usr/local/apache2/... )
I modified the existing /etc/init.d/httpd script and had it point to the /usr/local/apache2 areas.I even did a chkconfig --add httpd and show it is on for run levels 2345.The problem is that when I reboot the server httpd does not load because I can not access the website.However, the minute I login to the server as a user (non-root) it automatically loads httpd and the website works.Then, when I logout, everything is inaccessible again. I even tried to put the commands in the /etc/rc.local script (or wherever it is).Same thing happens.I know this is a simple fix. Just don't know what it is. Is it related to SElinux? However, wouldn't SElinux create access problems regardless of being logged in or not? Once I'm logged in, everything automatically fixes itself (either it's a service load or a rights filter fix).
Remember, everything works perfectly as long as I'm logged in to the server (even as a non-root user). Just the act of logging in makes the web server accessible from to the rest of the world. However, when I logout, the web server is inaccessible.

I am new to Linux. I installed some weeks ago Fedora 14 via burnt iso file downloaded from official Fedora site. It was working perfectly like a charm for me until yesterday when I tried to install zend server for PHP. During my first try of installation of zend server it corrupted out my apache server and I lost apache on http://localhost. I removed all "zend-server" like stuff from "Add Remove Software" screen. Installed again apache 2 in the form of LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql Php) via terminal. Apache installed correctly and started workeing again ok on localhost. Then again I tried to install zend server from install.sh file in downloaded zend server installation. It showed me after a while like "zend server installed successfully".
I shut down my pc thinking everything is ok now. Today when I started my system, it shows me boot screen of Fedora, I select fedora and then it shows me balloon filling up for around 5-7 secs. Then all of a sudden a black screen appears up with a cursor blinking at its top left and then nothing else happens further. I cannot find login screen to my desktop anymore. I remember one thing that during reinstallation of apache from terminal, I set following command like "chkconfig --level 235 httpd" (I guess that's what I have written as per some online tutorial for LAMP). Is that cause of mine problem ot its something else?

I have used Ubuntu since 7-4; I now have 10.4. However, in the last week I have been taken to the login screen three times. This could be potentially calamitous. Ctrl+Alt +Backspace have by default been disable since 9-4. There is no way I am pressing atl+Prtscr +K. I wonder if there is a new zap command in 10.4, and if so, how to disable it. I have never found the need to go back back to the login window. I am generally using the command line when doing this.

I have just did an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. I am planning to go to 10.04 . After the upgrade everything was ok but I noticed the GRUB was still legacy. So I updated my GRUB to GRUB2. Now when I boot, after entering my logon-id and password, it just brings me back to the login-id screen (to logon on). Any indication of what is wrong and how I should fix this ?
I have no encryptions. [added comments] Currently reading thread about login loop bug with 9.10 Followed instructions about possible missing pre-release update but even if it did do updates, I am still login screen looping. Doing additional researches until someone answers with the fix.
did :
CTRL + ALT + F1 switch to one virtual console
sudo service gdm stop
[Code]...

I downloaded the .ISO for Fedora Core 14 Live, with the intention of installing it to my HDD.
I burn the .ISO with no reported problems.
I boot to the installation CD and can get to the point where it asks me to Login (a timer is also going down for Automated Login).
Once I click "Login", nothing else ever happens.
I can hear the disc spinning in the drive and it's trying to load something, but it never does.
I thought that maybe my older (2003) laptop might just be slow, so I allowed it to do whatever it seemed to be doing overnight while I slept.
Well, I woke up this morning and it was still doing the same exact thing with no results.

Oh, and I intend to dual-boot. I have already made a partition using Norton Partition Magic. It's NTFS filesystem for now, but I figured the Fedora Installation would give me an option to use that partition anyway - NTFS or not (meaning, it would wipe the NTFS file system and use whatever it is that Fedora Core uses). Am I mistaken in assuming this?

I installed 10.04 on my pc. I also have 9.08 and XP installed. Both work. The 10.04 gui login screen displays and asks for the password. I enter the password. The screen goes blank but after a few seconds the gui login box re appears and again asks for a login. I rebooted into the TTY, created a new user, checked the new user was in in /etc/passwd and that I could get into the new user's account. When I rebooted into the gui the new user was there and I entered the password but again I just got back to the gui login window. The pc I am using is at least 5 years old. I have tried startx and I do get the gui background but no controls are displayed. I am using 32 bit 10.04. Using the TTY I have uploaded all the current fixes.

I would like to post my problems here with Fedora 11 regarding that I am using Dell inspiron 1525, Dual core-N series. I have got two problems:
First;- After I updated my system, I have experienced a a login problem , which is each time I try to login and insert my password correctly it seems that it will login but it comes back to the same login screen as if I did not do anything, but after too many times it works.
Second: I read some posts in a website that talks about configuring the RPM fusion "Repo" and I did all the steps posted there , but after that whenever I try to update or download anything through terminal.... it appears the following:

I like the server login information that gets displayed when you login to a 10.04 server. It lists disk usage, CPU usage, Temperature etc...
Unfortunately I had problems installing 10.04 from a USB. At the end of the process the master boot record was stored on the USB and not the hard disk.
But now when I login to my server I don't get the server information.

I am trying to uninstall my LAMP server and my Drupal 7 installation. Unfortunately I cannot find any instructions on uninstalling Druapl from my system. The ones that exist are far too old( < 2008 ) to be relevant. Could someone please direct me how to go about this? Note: I did not use Synaptic for installation. I downloaded the file from the drupal.org site.

I inadvertently destroyed a wonderful 9.04 version and downloaded and installed 9.10 from DVD successfully, specifying automatic logging on of my user. Did a lot of cosmetic changes and it rebooted Ok at least once. It's probably a red herring, but the last thing I did was comment out a line in /etc/default/grub that had "splash" in it, and afterwards ran the script that creates menu.cfg.Well, the splash is still there but now it ends with the login screen. I give it the correct password, and it splashes again and comes backs to the login screen. Repeatedly. i.e. I can't login at all.

i upgraded to the 10.04 beta today . i upgraded from 9.10 64bit. I am on a dual boot system, Ubuntu is on my secondary hard-drive and windows xp is on my primary hard drive.Since upgrading to the 10.04 beta i cannot login into XP, GRUB restarts when i select it. selecting Ubuntu works though. during the upgrade process GRUB prompted me to select some options and to be quite honest i was not entirely sure what to select, regardless i tried three times to select options, twice it rejected me from selecting all of the ( what seemed to be) disks. until i tried selecting two out of the 5 names on the list it gave me.

I've tried to test 10.04. One, by upgrading a working KK installation. The other, was a fresh install. Both were as VMWare virtual machines.Both installs had the same problem. The install/upgrade process goes smoothly. When the GUI logon screen appears & I click on the user name, I'm unable to type in the password box. Nothing appears. If I then click "continue", the result is "authentication failure".

I had cloned my 250 GB HD to a new 1 TB HD using 'dd'. After that Ubuntu does not login. The MBR [Grub] and Windows 7 do start without any problem and all the programs are working perfect under it. When I boot to Ubuntu, the login screen just keeps displaying 'Automatically logging in...'. On the first boot from the cloned HD, Ubuntu displayed that the /home is not found and offered Check/Skip/Ignore and I selected Check. After that the message is not shown. Another weird thing is that at logon, the system does a log off and display a warning that the Power Manager Applet is not responding and asks for Log off anyway.
I have the old HDD intact with me.

I posted this the other day. Just thought that made it would get more attention here. http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/show....php?t=1672472Quote:I have been running a mythbuntu 8.1 for almost 2 years now. I finilly decided to do a distr.-upgrade. I used the distr.-upgrade tool in X to install the upgrade. On reboot everything was working fine. I then did an update and a reboot. Now I get nothing that I can read. no bios splash, no grub, no x login, just horizotil black lines that keep flashing on screen. I tryed to hit control-alt-f2 and nothing changes. I hit the numlock and the numlock light does not come on. It seems like the system is not even running.
Now the kicker. If I telnet into the machine it is running. I can access mythweb from another computer. It is still recoding and trascoding. It is running. But I can't just into login to it locally.I setup up gdm to autologin but it does not start x.

I've just ran the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 via the online update manager. It rebooted and now hangs at the text screen before any graphical login screen appears. The last line on screen appears to show a failure to connect to a cifs share on my other windows computer.
I've tried to select the recovery menu, which then appears but the keyboard does not allow any of the options to be selected with the arrow keys or any other I tried, I've tried a ps2 keyboard and that doesn't allow any selections either. But it is possible to use ctrl-alt-del to reboot from this non responsive menu.

After login-in with gdm, the desktop fails to launch.
I can only move the mouse, clicking does nothing, no hotkeys; no desktop.
All I can do is change to a TTY.
I have tried restarting the gdm service; this just lets me log in again to the same stalled desktop.
The panel at the bottom of the gdm doesn't list any sessions, all it has is universal access and the time.

i've created a completely new user, so config files for fluxbox/unity/gnome cannot be the problem. when i try to login with this user in gdm, the screen goes black for a few seconds and gdm displays again.
tried:
- new user without any gnome/unity/fluxbox config
- tried "ubuntu", "ubuntu-classic", "ubuntu-classic without effects", and "ubuntu-classic safe mode"
- did aptitude purge gdm & installed it again
- nvidia module is loaded properly
- no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
- login with NXCLIENT on this server works perfectly fine

I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 on one of them by default installation. For the moment there is only one user declared. The installation seems OK, except that Ubuntu didn't find my PPPoE connexion. When I logged in, I got a blank screen with the mouse cursor (it moved, but when I left or right-clicked nothing happened) and on the left something looking like two 1-pixel wide menus, as if the system had understood there were a dual screen. These menus could roll and unroll, and I think I even once managed to shutdown by going to the last invisible item thanks to the keyboard arrows (I'm not sure, because I had also clicked on ctrl+alt+suppr, so it could be a delayed effect of that).
I restarted the computer several times, to get no more than that. When I'm in Gnome safe, everything is OK but I don't have any root privilege there (I guess it's normal): for instance, I can't set up the internet connexion. My 20" 4/3 Philips screen is recognized. Then I changed the screen frequency: it's still OK for Gnome safe session, but now, in the Gnome normal session, instead of a black screen with 1-pixel wide menu, I get a black background picture with white light coming from above and reflecting to an otherwise invisible floor. The mouse cursor is moving, but this is the only thing which works.
