Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 / Turns To Blackscreen / Security Error?

Jan 6, 2011

I downloaded the ubuntu Desktop i3386 iso and followed the instructions to install from windows. I'm a windows 7 user. So after rebooting, I booted using ubuntu and as it was loading, I left my laptop idle for a few minutes and it suddenly booted windows 7. I restarted and booted ubuntu only to find that it has become command prompt format instead of the usual gui. Then when I tried to use it, it turns to blackscreen and the only thing that produces a response is by hitting the power. It then warns me that the power button has been pressed. The model of my loptop is Toshiba Satellite L640.It says it has security error. Will post later the details of the error.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.04 Abruptly Turns Off Computer?

Jan 18, 2010

I have an 9.04 installation of Ubuntu.After a classical system update via the GNome-GUI my computer (laptop ASUS PRO55series) got the sick habit to turn off abruptly during work.It's like if there were no electricity in my house.It is not the hardware since I also have windows vista and it works fine.I suppose this is from ubuntu; it could be from the heat regulation, that ubuntu thinks it is too hot inthere and just turns off the laptop.

Debian :: Screen Turns Off During Installation

Jan 22, 2016

I believe it might have to do with dpms (according to KiPi on the #debian-boot chatroom) but I'm not entirely sure why my monitors keep turning off 10 minutes into the installation. I have tried using Live CD and a netinst version of the Debian 8.2 installation methods.

I'm going to try to disable dpms in the Live CD and hopefully that works.

Ubuntu Installation :: Get To The Login Screen, But When Hit Enter Eveything Turns Black?

Nov 30, 2010

I'm trying to install the latest version of Ubuntu Studio. I tried it a few months ago with my HP... a live system worked fine, but when I installed it, it would go blank after the splash screen. I assumed it was some sort of incompatible graphics driver and gave up since I don't know enough about Ubuntu yet.Now I have a spare Dell XPS desktop sitting around and I got the latest version of Ubuntu Studio and tried it again. The install goes by erfectly, this time the welcome screen actually comes up and I can see my username. As soon as I hit enter, which I imagine should bring up the password prompt, the entire screen goes black and won't respond to anything.

The problem is that when i boot the disc after restarting the computer, the screen just turns black. What can i do to install Ubuntu?

OpenSUSE Install :: Screen Turns Black And Back To Normal After Installation Of 11.4

Mar 26, 2011

I had 11.3 running for quite some time without any problem. The upgrade to 11.4 was ruined for some reason (only got commandprompt login) and the message that Xorg.0.log couldn't be copied. Decided to install 11.4 from scratch, but since the install my screen flashes every 20 seconds or so to black screen and and after 1 second back to normal. There is no interruption of any other task like typing. Card: FeForce FX5200 card. Can someone please point me to a solution? Also, my monitor (Philips 150S) is not recognized. How can I change that without changing xorg.conf by hand?

Fedora Installation :: Package Installer Error - Apps Security Sensitive

Mar 12, 2009

I'm logged in as root and want to run Add/Remove Software (Package Installer) but get the message telling me

Code:
Running graphical applications as a privileged user should be avoided for security reasons. Package management applications are security sensitive and therefore this application will now close.

How must I install applications? Surely the world is getting paranoid with all this hackers and viruses, because with every new version O/S, the security features gets more and more; up to the point that you can't fricken do and play around with your pc as you would.

Ubuntu Security :: Truecrypt Installation - "couldn't Display Unknown Filetype" Error

I downloaded truecrypt Linux version, giving me a file named truecrypt-6.3a-ubuntu-x86.tar.gz. I assume that's the archive. Double clicking on that produced file truecrypt-6.3a-setup-ubuntu-x86. I assume that's the executable. When I try to run that, I get a "could not display ... unknown filetype" error. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I plan to run truecrypt under the easycrypt GUI.

Jun 7, 2011

The default Firewall ufw is not enabled by default at the time of installation and it has to be enabled by the user.Isn't this a security risk or is the user whether ufw is enabled or not secured from external threats?I am not much knowledgeable about network security But I am trying to understand the Ubuntu mentality behind this default setting.

Ubuntu :: Computer Turns On Then Off Then On By Itself

Jul 6, 2010

my computer this morning, then it suddenly turns off. I press the power button and nothing happens. After a minute I press it again and it turns on, but it quickly shuts down when it hit the boot screen. After I tried turning it on again, but it turns on for about 2 seconds and quickly dies. Some times it turns on itself and then turns back off. This happened when I had WIN XP installed too (which was about 2 years ago). I run full Ubuntu 9.1, no double boot. Is this hardware problem or a virus that affects both Windows and Linux? :O

Ubuntu :: Monitor Turns Off After 10-15 Minutes?

Sep 28, 2010

I've read many posts about other people having this issue and I can't seem to find one that is the same problem I am having. I'm totally new to ubuntu and linux as well for that matter, Basically I wanted to give linux a try and started doing some research and liked everything I read about ubuntu. I went to the website and used the wubi (I think that was what it was called) to install ubuntu. Now when I boot my computer it asks me which operating system I would like to use. I navigate to ubuntu and press enter and it starts up with no problems what so ever.

At first I was really surprised with how easy the installation was and how great everything was going, however. After looking around for about 10 minutes, the screen abruptly went black and then my monitor had a small blue box on it with "No input" on it before the light went from blue to orange. I tried hitting every combination of keys I could think of and in the end had to do a hard restart.

Long story short. every time I use ubuntu my monitor shuts off after about 10-20 minutes, regardless of what activity I am doing. I've tried going to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/ to make sure that sleep_display_ac was set to 0 (it was), I've turned off power management using the power manger under preferences. No matter what I have tried, it continues to be a problem.

Ubuntu :: Laptop Turns Off When Battery Is Not Empty?

May 2, 2010

Since I had updated to Lucid, I'm having some trouble with running my laptop on battery. It usually turns off when the battery notifier is still at 13%~18% (it is not shutting down, it is like when your battery runs out of energy). First I had thought that was a problem with the notifier and I was missing when the battery had no charge, but I kept looking at the notifier and suddenly when it had reached 15% my laptop just went down, without saving any job.

I've just upgraded to Lucid Lynx, running on a HP Pavilion dv4-1123us with 2.00 GHz Intel Core2 Duo T5800, 4GB RAM.

The battery is a 6-cell Lithium-Ion that came with the laptop.

I'd bought it about 1 year ago.

Ubuntu :: Speakers Plays For 5 Seconds Then Turns Off

Sep 6, 2010

I have been using ubuntu for the last year. Everything has been working fine. One day I was in class listening to music through my headsets and closed the lid. The computer suspended and I didn't think anything about it. When I got home and opened the computer up with the headsets unplugged, the speakers were not playing. Now I only get audio through my headsets, but if I suspend the computer with the headsets plugged in and open the computer up with the headset unplugged, the speakers plays for 5 seconds and then turns off. I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Altec Lansing speakers

Ubuntu :: Plugging Devices Into USB Turns Computer Off

Nov 14, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit on my desktop and I've encountered a curious and somewhat frustrating issue. It appears that when I plug a flash drive, external hard drive or MP3 player into a USB port my computer turns off. Sometimes it happens instantly, other times it occurs a minute or two later when I'm transferring files. I'm not sure how to approach this issue. I've searched the forum and haven't found any mention of this. I am working on said desktop and all other hardware seems in good working order. If it helps, This is a 3 year old desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 cpu, a ABIT NF-M2S AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 motherboard, an EVGA GeForce 7600GT video card and a SATA harddrive. I can post a log if someone wants, not sure which one to post though.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Goes Out When Another Computer Turns On

Feb 9, 2011

I have an Asus Eee S101 netbook running UNE 10.10. When I have the netbook on, I have no problems connecting to my WPA encrypted wireless network being broadcast by a Buffalo router running DD-WRT. When I turn on my desktop computer in the other room (running Windows Vista) which also uses the same wireless network, the netbook disconnects. Then it will take a few minutes to reconnect. Periodically it will do this until the other computer is powered down. I don't know if this is an OS issue or the hardware, but is there any sort of troubleshooting I could do to look into this? It seems like the desktop is somehow interfering with the netbook's connection, booting it offline.

Ubuntu :: Video Crashes When Turns Off And On Or Changes Resolution

Jul 14, 2011

So I have this laptop, and ever since updating to Ubuntu 11.04, the screen will freeze when it turns off to save power, especially if music or video are playing. The screen picture will come up, and the mouse even moves, but I am unable to manipulate anything else on the screen. Sometimes I can hit buttons in the active program, but I cannot see that they are hit. However, when it's a music program or a video, I can hear the sound stop if I hit the pause button. I cannot use the power button to turn it off at this point. I am to do a forced hardware shutdown.

I recently downloaded the a for-pay game, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, and it also seems to be affected by this bug when it tries to take over the screen. I have managed to close the program by intuition and following sounds, at which point the screen is restored to it's normal settings, but it is frozen and I have to do a forced shutdown. I downloaded several other games to test this out, and many of them then resize the screen have the same problem, though some of them occasionally work and occasionally do not. Of course, the only game that I actually paid for never works.

Fedora :: Internet Turns Itself Off?

I am running Fedora 13 at the moment and am having trouble with my internet connection. The connection works fine, but at some point during the night, it turns itself off. When I try to get back on in the morning, I have to sudo ifup eth0 to get it working again. I tried a small bash script running through cron to do this for me every hour, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
