I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, downloaded Adobe reader '.bin', from the terminal
It extracted and asked me for a installation location, to which i put [~]
It then finished the installation.
But when i click on the icon in the start menu or on desktop it fails to start, when i also click on a .pdf document it also fails to start!
My Windows Vista installation won't start after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. If I select it on GRUB2, it leaves a blinking cursor on screen. And I tried doing the whole test disk thing and the boot info script. This is what my Results.txt file says

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 2 days ago and tried to instal it on my:HP EliteBook 8540wIntel Core i7 740QMIntel QM57 Express8GB RAMnVidia Quadro FX 1800 with CUDA (1GB)Of course I went 64bit, but the Live CD wouldn't start. Instead I get some weird artifacts on my screen.I can see bits of my Windows-background with taskbar and some of the windows I was using earlier before restarting, like the download manager. If cold boot my PC I see black and white boxes with coloured dots on them.
Thus I thought of an issue with the 64bit architecture and possibly the grafics card too (the artifacts are clearly remnants of data from the VRAM)I tried the same with the 32bit version and got the same issue (indicating NO issue with 64bit, at least not directly).In the end, I installed Ubuntu from the alternate 64bit CD and now am stuck with a non-working installation of Ubuntu.I get some kind of error concerning pcieport (probably PCI Express).When I install Ubuntu on Virtualbox through Windows 7 however, I don't get any kind of issue (I'd still like to be able to run Ubuntu natively)Any idea on how to fix the problem?PS: I'm not very experienced with Linux, so if you ask me to go into console mode, please be detailed on what command I should input.
After I finally successfully installed ubuntu, I cannot start Windows from the GRUB start menue.
Since I am an absolute beginner
I am unable to print on a new installation of Natty.The print configuration utility reports that no printing service is available. I have comfirmed that cups is installed and get a positive response to "whereis cupsd" When I attempt to start cups from the cl (service cups start) I receive the following response: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.63" (uid=1000 pid=5577 comm="start cups ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
There are no errors produced in the logs - either cups or syslog and if I turn apparmour to complain mode nothing improves: sudo aa-complain cupsd
I am aware of this post: [URL]... but since the workaround has no effect and in the absence of error messages I am not sure that it applies and cannot implement - and note that no print drivers are in play since I can't get cups to start.
I wanted to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 on my Netbook, which is a HP Mini 210. I created an USB-Stick to boot from (with UltraISO, because the USB-creator which is delivered in the Ubuntu image does not work well somehow). I created bootable USB-Sticks with UltraISO before so I don't think I did anything wrong there.
BUT: The installation does not even start. When I turn the power on I get this message:
"Start booting from USB device. SYSLINUX 2.84 2009-12-18 EBIOS Copyright (c) 1994-2009 H. Peter Anvin et al" Then a blinking cursor... but nothing more. It doesn't matter how long I wait, nothing happens. Even though the cursor is blinking, I cannot write anything. All I can do is to turn the power off.
So I don't even get the installation menu... what is the problem? Any idea?
PS: I'm a beginner to Linux / Ubuntu

I have installed 10.4 on a PC running Vista 64-bit with AMD64. It has 3 x internal hard drives, 1 x1Tb for back uo. 1 x 768Gb partitioned for files. 1 x 300G in two partitions of 150G each for each of the two OS: Vista and Ubuntu. I used the wubi ti install The install itself seemed to go well. However, on reboot, which then does the final install and set up, it refuses to boot. Generally I get a black screen, but I can get it to sometimes give me info by pressing ENTER after some time in black screen state. The message it gives is to the effect "Windows was not shut down properly. Log off, shut it down and try again", and "the drive is in Hybernation so enter the following in command line ' mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda1/ isodevice'"
Mainly there is nowhere to enter this, but I found a way of starting up the boot that does a line by line and when that stops I have tried entering the above command. I get a message "not found".
I just installed Ubuntu for the first time in my life. I'm a total newbie. So today i downloaded 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and installed it on my Computer as a dual boot additionally to Windows 7.Before I installed it I tryed it and it worked perfectly. But now that I've installed it, it won't boot. When I start my computer the menu where you can choose which OS you'd like to boot appears. But when I choose Ubuntu the only thing my computer does is it shows a purple screen in the left top corner. In the middle it says "Ubuntu" and underneath it are five dots. But nothing moves or changes.

Since installing the 10.04 update on my kubuntu 9.10 x64 system I can no longer log out, kdm doesn't restart. It just ends up with a black screen. Also when I unmute the sound and mouse over anything that has a thumbnail icon in dolphin the speakers pop. This includes pictures and movies. Then also when I leave my computer idle for a long amount of time, it wont wake up, just black screen. I have the newest ati drivers installed from ati website.

I'm on a fresh install (albeit I've kept my former separate /home partition) of 10.04 UNR. Thunderbird (mail client) won't start saying it's already running and I've either to close it before or reboot.
Problem is Thunderbird is not running as also confirmed with the terminal output below Rebooting didn't solve, nor did uninstalling Thunderbird, rebooting and reinstalling.

I upgraded today my Xubuntu to v 10.10, but I have a serious problem. Everything was fime till the system asked for rebooting but never did. I have actuallu a black screen with a white square terminal-like. It displays jbogdani@bdus~$ but I can not type on it! It is frozen!Nothing works, no services (ssh, apache, etc.), no GUIs no terminal!The only server that is working is samba! How can I get my computer working back without terminal?What is happening? Is v10.10 so unstable and unsecure?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I noticed a new version of Ubuntu (10) was out and I was still running an old version (8.04) I thought about upgrading. With the update manager is selected update to 10.04 and everything went on it's way.
During the process I got asked if I wanted to update the GRUB loader. Since I also use Windows and with a previous update of GRUB I couldn't start into it anymore I selected, "keep this version" (which I think is now causing this trouble).
The upgrade completed and restarted, however, Ubuntu now doesn't start anymore.
I get prompted with:
mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device udevd(896): error getting socket: Invalid argument ...
edit: I started Ubuntu with the live CD and typed gedit /booot/grub/menu.lst which gave me a blank file. Is that normal?
i created an ubuntu 10.10 live system on an usb stick last weekend using the build in startup disk creator. The System itself is working quite fine, but since I don't want to install ubuntu to the computer I'm using the stick with, I want to get rid of the start window (TRY OUT or INSTALL). How can I achieve this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just updated to Natty yesterday and I went straight into burg no problem, but from that point Ubuntu takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to boot. I literally have to leave the room and go do other things while waiting. So, today I did a complete fresh install and it is on ssd with plenty of space, go straight to grub no problems. Windows 7 will boot at its normal speed, but Ubuntu just sits with a purple screen for anywhere to 5-10 minutes after grub menu. I have reinstalled two more times and still same issue, holding down and tapping shift key did make it boot one time in about a minute and a half (usual time in 10.10 on my machine is about 12 seconds). I don't think it is a graphics issue but I am running an ATI card.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 9.10 on my netbook, and the preinstalled games work fine. But every game I've tried to install, SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, and Freedoom, specifically, crashes. I haven't tried any other ones because of this. They will start, and then I'll get to the main menu and choose to start a new game, and then the game just closes.
All the drivers are updated as of a couple weeks ago. I read something about disabling screen savers and desktop effects, but I already have all that done. Somebody also mentioning installing caffeine, but apparently, that just automatically does the same thing.
I have an EasyPeasy version of the ubuntu (nothing heavily changed, only some apps added and themes, of what i know) And i have tried to install OpenTTD on it by .deb packages, and everything seems to go well, no error or such, but when i try to start, literally nothing happen. Only the "Loading" which comes on all apps when you start it. No Error messages, nothing. I tried 3 versions now, both stables and the new 1.0.0beta.

View 9 Replies View Relatedthis has happened two months in a row since i first installed Ubuntu 9.10, at exactly one month after i've installed it, it wont start up properly when i clicked on the Ubuntu option as my OS.
It will bring me to a page with grub> appearing and im meant to type in something but cant figure out what.
so in the end i have to reinstall ubuntu again in my windows OS and this irks me a great deal, as i will have to reinstall my wine and spotify and not to mention losing all the data and pictures that i have saved in Ubuntu.
I installed the 10.04 64 bit beta after 9.10 went down on me AGAIN, and when I booted up and got to the login screen I got the ubuntu chimes then the screen went black, the three lights on my keyboard, numlock etc, started flashing every second, and the chimes continued every second. Machine was completely unresponsive, cntrl+alt+del or cntrl+alt+backspace did nothing. Any ideas or how do I report this officially like?

Just upgraded to 10.04 and Firefox will no longer start. I get the tab that says starting firefox, and then the tab disappears, and I never get a window.When I try to start via terminal it says (something along the lines of):Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpiSegmentation FaultI tried logging out and back in, no dice; restarted, no dice; uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, no dice.Running x64, if that matters, on a pretty decent laptop. I would describe my technical knowledge of Linux as moderate.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.04 and when trying to boot, the computer would hang at the splash screen. Going into recovery mode showed nothing in the log files. The Xorg and gdm logs were zero bytes but had the proper timestamp. I tried and tried, but could not get it to boot until I removed the nvidia-current package. Then the computer will boot, but the screen is partially corrupted with just a blue background. I can hit enter, then type my password and I can actually login, but I can't see a thing. I can cycle through the resolutions with Ctrl +, but the screen just still has a blue background and nothing else. Trying to boot in failsafe X mode gives the same screen. I tried putting the vesa driver in the xorg.conf, but no change.
I've tried the i915.modeset=0 boot option. I've tried the "xforcevesa" boot option, but nothing will give me a readable screen. As soon as I re-installed the nvidia-current package and ran nvidia-xconfigure, the problem came back and it hangs again.At this point, I'm stuck. I would settle for a plain VGA screen at this point, but I can't even seem to get that. I've read several posts here with similar problems and tried every solution put forth, I think, but have not found a solution.When the upgrade wanted to install the new /etc/default/grub, I kept my old one. I compared the two files at the time, but I didn't see anything new, but maybe I missed something. What new items if any does the upgrade put into /etc/default/grub?
After upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 I realized that Firefox doesn't start, it just shows "Firefox starting"on the taskbar for a second and then dissapear. New Gwibber software doesn't start either.I have separate /home partion and installed new version to the system partition marked it to be formatted first. Opera browser works perfectly fine.
