Ubuntu Installation :: After Entering "Install" Nothing Happens
Dec 15, 2010
I'm pretty novice on Ubuntu.I've tried it out on a virtual machine and it has attracted me. So now I want to set up Ubuntu on one of the three partitions of my hard disk.Though after booting the disc and selecting "Install Ubuntu",a black backgrounded blank page appears with a blinking dash on its uppermost left.And nothing happens that neither CPU nor disc driver nor HDD runs,the machine simply stops. I don't exactly know what information is required for this problem,however can supply some screenshots:

I am liking Opensuse, but have a problem when using my NFTS partitions (dual boot so docs on this partition). I always have to enter a password which annoys me to no end. Most distributions do this, in fact only for Mandriva have I been able to find out how to do this without a password. Is it possible with Opensuse?

I tried installing lubuntu 'over' ubuntu, but am now locked out. Basically, the login screen loads, I've tried entering my username and password, but it doesn't work. I'm not really sure of my username as Ubuntu would automatically fill it in for me. But lubuntu isn't auto-loading my username, so I've been trying to enter all types of variations. I am 100% of my password though
I tried getting help at lubuntu's chat, but that's been kind of hard since there aren't that many people responding. The lubuntu people had me go into recovery mode (2.6.38-8 recovery) and so that would go smoothly. But when the screen of the options of resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, etc, I cannot move the selector down. So basically, the orange selector is stuck at resume. Whenever I press the down key, the computer runs some lines, and I cannot go back to the list of options. The list is still visible, but can't select any of the options.
If I press the 'end' button, that executes something (probably the last option in the list), and I shut down the pc when it did that. The other arrow keys do nothing. The tab button manages to move the selector from the list to 'Ok' and 'Cancel.' But I cannot move the selector down.. TL;DR: I need to either get into recovery mode, or find a way to get my exact username lubuntu thinks it is.

i am having a problem with the installation with ubuntu 10.10 during the installation, i was entering my setup info (login password, timezone, etc.) when everything stopped working, it wouldnt let me continue, the forward button wouldnt work. i let it set for a good 30 minutes but it wouldnt do anything.
so unable to continue, i restarted and tried to boot from my cd drive and now it wont boot from the drive, and since i let ubuntu delete my windows partition, i cant boot from it so i basically have a blank hard drive. the cd drive will boot other cds because i booted hirens boot cd in an attempt to make sure the cd drive was functioning and ran diagnostics to make sure the drive was alright.

I just installed debian-6.0.1a-i386-netinst yesterday on my Dell Dimension 4100. I have a serial keyboard and mouse, which both worked fine during the install and the keyboard allowed me to enter the correct passphrase. After I enter the passphrase the PC continues to boot up, and it gets to a black screen with small fuzzy/distorted "DELL" logo's on the top part of the screen going from left to right.
What is wrong with my PC? What can I do to troubleshoot this?
I really would like to get debian up and running on this desktop

Whenever I am prompted to enter the root password, typical example would be in 'Power Management' clicking the button 'Make Default', pressing ENTER or clicking AUTHENTICATE doesn't close the box. To get passed this I have to press ALT+F4 and it continues which I'm assuming still does authenticate.

When I use rar e to extract a rar file, the request for entry of the password always says password will not be echoed. For longer passwords, this is difficult, since a single mistyped key will result in an error.
Does anyone know how I can use the rar command to extract and have the password echoed (appear on the screen as I type it)?

Any idea how to log a user in without a password in GDM? I've found this archived thread but it doesn't appear to do anything when I tried what it says: [URL] I'm not looking for auto-login. I'd simply like one user to be able to click on his name and it will log in without prompting for a password.

I've installed Karmic after having used Jaunty in the past and it's working great, but I have a couple of security questions...
I opened the Disc Utility (Palimpsest) under System>Administration and was amazed that it looks like it will let me delete partitions on my hard drive, and without even asking for a password. This seems like an enormous security oversight, what am I missing here? Is there a bug filed for this?
Also related, why does Ubuntu allow a user to disable startup applications without requiring a password?

I am experiencing a 5-10 minute delay when trying to ssh into my ubuntu server.
root@localhost's password:
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug2: channel 0: send open
debug1: Requesting no-more-sessions@openssh.com
debug1: Entering interactive session. HANG
I've tried using the option UseDNS No in my my sshd_Config but to no success. I've tried reinstalling ubuntu fresh, but still it hangs upon trying to ssh from any machine. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 server.

Two machines with Lucid installed last week, both installed with the same standard settings. One machine can see the network and both itself and the other machine, the other PC cannot see the first machine or itself. In the Network window all I get is a folder saying 'Windows Network' and clicking that ticks away for a minute or so before saying error, cannot connect to it.
On both machines I have created a shared folder on the desktop to trigger an installation of samba shares which has happened.I cannot connect to the other PC by entering its IP address into location either.

I have accidentally set my default option for a blank disc and told it not to ask me again. When I put a disc in, it runs that option and I can do nothing else unless I open up a different program manually. How do I access and edit this option again?

I created a key for an ssl site with a passphrase. Worked really well and enjoyed doing it. I then shut down the lpatop and drove back to my parents for easter...
Now Fedora won't fully boot, and I'm just have the line that creeps along the bootom. I've tried a few things, but not having any joy. I obviously need to enter this passphrase, but how should I do this?
Do I go out any get some CD's to make a boot disk? Or is there a way to disable the graphical boot options from grub?

I have an unreasonably long time to wait from log in, to when my desktop is ready, it takes 40 seconds from hitting enter to seeing my files on the desktop, and about another 15 seconds from then to hearing the opening jingle. It used not to be this way, before it took less than 10 seconds, but about 4 days ago this time shot up suddenly, is there some way to diagnose whats causing this delay?

I'm a newbie running Ubuntu 9.10. I have two users (wife and me), and each user's screensaver is set to lock so that on wakeup, we get to choose which user's desktop to go to. However, Ubuntu requires a password, so this is pretty tedious.I'd like to switch users without entering any password. I know about this trick that works for the boot login, but it doesn't deal with multiple users.Is it possible to set empty passwords for users in Ubuntu, or skip the password in other ways?(I'm expecting real Linux users to suggest that passwordless users must not get any rights and there be an admin user with a strong password.

Is it possible to switch users in Debian without entering a password, as in Ubuntu Maverick? I already tried adding a nopasswdlogin group but it did not work, even though the "don't ask for password on login" entry in the login manager is no longer greyed out. Replacing gdm3 with gdm also did not work.

Can't get into GRUB to reset root password. Hitting ESC only toggles between verbose boot information and progress screen. Holding SHIFT does not bring up the GRUB screen for Runlevel editing. Only found correct key strokes once and forgot what they are. While I'm here, does anyone know how to choose and permamently select a kernel version for bootup?

How to allow a user to login without entering a password?
If my question sounds wierd then check out m-net at www.arbornet.org/m-net.php and see how it works.
Telnet / SSH to m-net.arbornet.org and type in newuser and it won't prompt for a password.

I have gotten my touchpad and wireless working after a day of research and help on this forum. The bad news is that I need to enter these commands every time I boot up. I know there is a way to load these commands into the startup. But I am not quite sure where to put them.
# modprobe lib80211
# cd hybrid_wl
# insmod wl.ko
# ifconfig eth1 up
# synclient tapbutton1=1
# synclient tapbutton2=1
# synclient tapbutton3=1

I just installed CentOS 5.4 (x86_64) and I encrypted my /home /var /tmp and /mnt/Storage partitions, along with my swap partition. My only complaint is that when I boot, I have to enter my password 4 times, and I did not pick a short password. The password is the same for all 4 partitions. Is there anyway I can set things up so I can just type my password once? Once I get everything set up, I won't be booting that often, but right now it is a PIA.

For example, what I have now as a root user on CentOS 5.5:
# setsebool
bash: setsebool: command not found
I need to enter /usr/sbin/setsebool to get it working
The same is with some other commands:
# service httpd restart
bash: service: command not found
And so on. I know, that I need to add path somewhere, as I did it before on FreeBSD. But I don't know where?
