Ubuntu Installation :: Backup Entire - Computer Freezes - Refusing To Go Beyond The Welcome Screen

Apr 18, 2010

I start using Ubuntu, after successfully installed it without any problem.Then I downloaded latest updates, etc. But,after installing a display driver, my computer freezes, refusing to go beyond the welcome screen. I tried several ways but could not solve the problem. So I decided to re-intall Ubuntu, download again the updates, again configure my settings, etc. herefore, I'd like to know whether there is any application to backup or to create a full image of a hard disk so as to avoid the long hours of re-installation.

Ubuntu :: Computer Randomly Starts Refusing SSH Connections?

Jul 20, 2010

The ssh server is running Xubuntu 9.04. It was working before. Then I tried SSHing today and it gave me a connection refused. The computers I've tried SSHing from were running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04, MacOS, and Solaris 10. None of them would connect. The ssh server is running the latest version of openssh-server (according to apt-get install). I'm assuming something in /etc/ssh/ got changed but I'm not sure.

Ubuntu :: How To Backup Entire System

Apr 19, 2011

Custdistro means it will backup your all/thing without/home and customback means it will backup all thing in /. It can create an ISO if your backup is less then 4 GB. Well, i've made a lot of changes to ubuntu 10.04 and now i love it! It does everything i'll want from any computer. This took me a lot of time, follow several tutorials and destroy the entire system a couple of times. The last one is a BIG problem because restoring my system to the state before i ****** all up takes some time again.Do any of you guys know how to backup all my system settings, programs and files? So that if i corrupt my system again i can restore it to be exactly as my current state?

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot See Entire Screen During Installation

Feb 2, 2010

I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my Fujitsu-siemens notebook but cannot see the entire installation screen - the bottom and right side of the screen seems to extend beyond the viewable area so I cannot see the 'next' buttons. I haven't seen any 'safe mode' installation options.

Ubuntu :: BackUp Entire Hard Drive To CD/DVD?

Nov 4, 2010

I have spent considerable time installing and getting my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) to where I want it.

Ubuntu :: Clonezilla - Backup My Entire Harddrive

Jul 14, 2011

I want to backup my entire harddrive and I assume the easiest way to do it is using Clonezilla.

Clonezilla makes an image file....but how do you get the image onto multiple DVD's? When burning the image file does K3B allow you to "change the full DVD" and add another disk?

In other words- any harddrive I have (already filled with 79 Gb) is going to make an image bigger than something that can fit onto a DVD.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Freezes Entire System 9.10?

Jan 1, 2010

I've got an odd problem and was wondering if anyone had any insight. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 on a Gateway E-100M and everything works great except for firefox. My machine will hard freeze about once a day when using firefox. The whole OS -- no mouse movement, no keyboard response, etc.I've switched to Chrome for weeks and I get no issues at all. I switched back to firefox and it hard froze within the first hour or so. I know it's unusual that an individual program would freeze the whole OS rather than just crash, but it seems to be a fairly consistent pattern.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Freezes Entire System?

Sep 23, 2010

When I click certain links, such as the one below, Firefox consistently crashes.

The bigger problem is that when it does, everything grinds to a halt, and I have to press the machine's power button.

Is there a way to kill processes when the system locks up? This is on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, using GNOME.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Freezes During The Upgrade?

May 24, 2011

Just wanted to upgrade my desktop computer and after the terminal shows:

Installling new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd ...cups start/running, process 7944

The display froye, mouse does not move any more, keyboard does nothing, no chance to escape into a text terminal. Nada. After rebooting the system I get a kernel panic. This is now second of two upgrades to 11.04 that failed, and I do not know how often upgrades failed previously, but rather often.

Software :: Ubuntu 9.04 Server - Finding Utility To Backup Entire HDD?

Dec 26, 2009

I'm running ubuntu 9.04 64-bit server and am looking to backup my entire OS drive. I've got a 200GB main drive, and a 1TB storage drive mounted at /storage. I'm already good as far as setting up backups of my data - but redoing all of my settings and software would be a nightmare in the event of a HD failure.

So what I'm looking for is a command line utility to do an image of the main 200gb drive to an external usb drive. The software needs to function similar to the Windows Vista/7 System Image utility or DriveImage XML and be able to make the images without shutting down. The best I've found so far was [URL], but it uses a GUI, and doesn't support large files.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Computer Freezes On Reconfiguring Graphics

May 3, 2010

Yesterday I updated my computer from 9.10 to 10.04. When I restarted my computer it appeared this message:
Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) No devices detected.

After that, it comes a window with the question "What would you like to do?" and 5 options...
Run UBUNTU in low-graphics mode.
Reconfigure graphics.
Troubleshoot the error.
Exit to console login.
Restart X

I'm going now with the first option, because I used to reconfigure graphics but my computer freezes with no aparent reason in the login window. I have a HP Pavilion 7956.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Freezes When Hit 'upgrade' On Package Manager

Feb 23, 2010

I seem to have a small problem. Since september, i hooked up an old Acer laptop (with just 560 RAM and a 16 mib graphical card) to a computer screen, a keyboard and a mouse, so that i had an extra 'computer' for my mother to use. Old people prefer bigger screens to ponder upon.

But anyways, each time i want to update or upgrade the 9.04 Ubuntu distribution, it freezes. This is quite annoying since i really want it to upgrade to 9.10, for possible faster results.

General :: Easiest Way To Make A Backup Of An Entire Hard Disk?

Jan 10, 2011

I got myself a dell laptop from the local computer store. Its a used machine with Windows Vista Home Basic on it. I want to load Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 though so I can do perl development. BUT I want to keep a copy of the entire harddrive with the dell utility partition and Windows Vista in case I want to go back. I was thinking I could image the drive but I not sure what to use, I don't have Ghost or anything, Someone had told me about Clonezilla. Would that work for me? Is it hard to use? Also I want to burn the data to a DVD or something more storable than a harddisk.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Randomly Freezes And Caps Lock Light Blinking

Feb 11, 2010

I installed Linux yesterday alongside windows vista. Everything went very smooth. I restarted the computer multiple times without issue, and the menu would pop up asking me which os to load. Everything was good. But today I attempted to boot up my computer and nothing happens. The screen just stay black. The lights come on on the laptop, but nothing else. Either I try to boot it and it goes on then off quickly, or it just sits there, still on, with a black screen. I don't know if this is related, but when I was messing around with ubuntu yesterday after I installed it, it would randomly freeze and my caps lock light kept blinking on and off. I was forced to restart when this happened and then everything would be ok.

General :: Cousin Unplugged The Computer - Freezes And The Computer Reboots Over And Over

Apr 17, 2009

I boot linux from a usb drive so I can carry my distro wherever I go - I've been doing it for quite some time now and it's always worked wonderfully. Problem: This morning my little cousin unplugged the computer WHILE I was booting into linux. Power loss has happened before, but with no ill effects. This time however, it's decided it won't boot. The screen clears, and just as GRUB is about to load, it freezes and the computer reboots over and over.

I booted to a LiveCD of Ubuntu to try and fsck the drive, but it won't mount the volume. I've worked with this install so long, and have customized it so much I **really** don't want to do a reinstall.. What can I do?

I tried to install ubuntu 9.10 with the live cd, but my computer freezes on the welcome screen, where you select the language (for the second time).After that the ubuntu logo starts pulsing and after a while the welcome screen appears. At this point, my mouse and keyboard are frozen (though the laser is still working) and the only way is to turn my computer off. I can't even eject the cd rom.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Freezes At Splash Screen?

Jun 14, 2010

I upgraded a week or so ago to 10.04, and everything was working fine. Then suddenly a few days ago the computer froze at the splash screen on startup. Thinking it was just some sort of neurotic, temporary issue, I restart again, but no luck -- same problem.

In terms of what I changed before the problem happened, I don't recall changing any system settings. On possibility is my changing things to skip the login screen and go strait to my account, but I believe I had done that a few shutdown/restarts before.
