Installation :: Didn't Catch Error Message Until Had Clicked Restart Button

Jun 8, 2010

I have been running Ubuntu with no problems for a while now. Earlier today, I began to download some updates. When I came back to the computer, there was a prompt to restart, but also an error message. I didn't catch the error message until I had clicked the restart button. Now, when I try to access Ubuntu from the dual-boot menu (I run Vista as well), I keep getting the following error message.

[3.190034] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (8,2).I tried safe mode, and I got the same error message. Vista runs normally.

Slackware :: KDE Randomly Freezing - Need To Restart?

Jan 27, 2010

I installed Slackware 13 (full install) a few days ago and every thing is working well except KDE freezes (I'd say randomly but lately it seems as if it happens after I use a KDE program or component.) and nothing works except the mouse cursor, I have to use the power on/off to reset the computer. After a reboot and fsck checks the partition that was unmounted improperly I log in delete a few bad files (.serverauth.XXXX, socket-speeedy and tmp-speedy) I'm usually able to restart KDE using startx. Googling around I think it may be my on board Intel video, dmesg id's it as the Intel 830M Chipset. BTW, this box ran Mandrake 10.1 for the last 6-7 years without problem, for what's worth.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 - Unable To Login On Restart

Nov 6, 2010

I am using windows since I first get my pc but itz day-2-day demands and vulnerabilities make to turn to linux but for some other things I do need window yet last time kubuntu was on my machine along with window 7 (through wubi) but then I uninstall that kubuntu, coz I want to use ubunto. I've got my ubuntu 10.10 cd, so I just sat infront of my pc, inserted the disc and it was a happy installation as it usually does with wubi but when I restart my pc and go for ubuntu OS , there show up a kubuntu screen, which has a title like ubuntu login and there in username field, that's not my username dat I've choose for my ubuntu but it is my pc-name from win7. Well I try to log-in with the user I'd made during installation but it didnot let me logged-in I try again n again even through console but no hope. Then I go back to win and uninstall wubi and get install again ubuntu but nothing different was there to meet me. I have a core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 Ghz intel processor with 64-bit win 7 ultimate. I am installing 32 bit ver of ubuntu 10.10...!

Slackware :: 13.1 Upgrade - Restart / Shutdown Button Do Not Work

Jun 17, 2010

I upgraded to 13.1 and found the restart, shutdown buttons do not work. I have to resort to the terminal commands init 6, or poweroff. I then tried to install flash plugin. I modified the slackbuild script as per normal. Then issued the following command which seemed to succeed. But when I try to play utube movie it says flash is not installed. Do I need to rebuild the system?

Code:
root@redeemer:/tmp# installpkg flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Ubuntu :: Freezing At Login Screen?

Jan 21, 2011

Diagnosis: I'm running Ubuntun 10.04. It has been running smoothly for pleny of time (8~9 months). I've done the clean install (not upgrading).

One day I left the screen locked and when I returned it was frozen. I restarted and it froze in the login screen (sometimes when I restart it actually log in my account, but freezes right after some minutes). The mouse pointer still moves.

I still can log in remotely through SSH, even though the system is frozen. So I suspect it has to do with the GUI.

Here's the output of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I think the error started in here:

Code:
(WW) Jan 21 11:29:46 NVIDIA(0): WAIT
(2, 6, 0x8000, 0x00007b6c, 0x0000aa04)

Ubuntu :: HP Pavilion Laptop Freezing After Login

Dec 26, 2010

My HP Pavilion laptop (3GB RAM, 1.8GHz, Intel Core2 Duo, Integrated graphics) has been freezing almost every single time I log in. This used to happen occasionally. Recently I had to clear my whole drive and reinstall Ubuntu (now using maverick) because it stopped working. Now when I log in and it freezes the only thing I can do is a hard reboot. I've probably done this way too many times by now and it can't be good for the computer.

To get around this I do the following: Safe mode works perfectly fine and I use it to disable compiz. Then I log back out and log in to the normal desktop and it works fine. Then I re-enable compiz and everything is fine. So compiz itself seems to not be the problem? Maybe it has something to do with how it is being called right after log in?I could try to live without compiz or just disable it every time I log out but that's a hassle.

Ubuntu Installation :: System Automatically Tried To Restart But On The Restart Got The 'terminal' View

Apr 30, 2011

I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.

My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.

I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)

"name@name-desktop:...$ "

I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.

Ubuntu :: System Crashing 10.04 \ Running Again Is To Press The On/off Button Until The System Powers Off And Restart?

Sep 6, 2010

I am an absolutely beginner with Linux (ubuntu). I got fed up with widows and decided it was time to go. I installed (clean install from a cd) ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop. It is an hp compaq d220 MT.It looks good and feels good, well at least for a while since it keeps crashing. The screen starts to flicker, goes black, and the only way to get it up and running again is to press the on/off button until the system powers off and restart.

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu 9.10 Will Not Restart After Using The "Suspend" Button

Apr 2, 2010

I recently converted an ageing Toshiba 2410-303 laptop (Intel 1.7 GHz, 512 MB, 28 GB HD) from Windows XP to Xubuntu. Everything was running fine & dandy until yesterday I had the (unfortunate it seems) idea to use the "Suspend" button at the end of a working session (until that day I had only used "shut down" or "restart" (the anglosaxon words may be different since I run a dutch language version)). Anyway, my laptop immediately went into the standby/suspend modus and several hours later I was unable to resume normal operation with the usual mouse movement or enter key. Nothing happened.

I've tried the following:
- press the power button for 2 sec, result: the ventilator starts up, I hear the HD spinning and the power led starts blinking orange (the Toshiba manual tells me this means the laptop is in standby) and I hear a regular system beep. But ... Xubuntu does not start at all. If I continue pressing the power button, the laptop shuts down completely.
- I removed the battery temporarily, reinserted it and repeated the above procedure but still ... no luck.
I cannot open the cd tray, so reinstalling is not an option either.
I have tried various other key combinations such as ctrl+alt+del etc. but to no avail. It seems that I'm stuck with a useless laptop now.

I'm reasonably convinced my laptop is not dead yet but it cannot be approached for the time being.

Ubuntu :: Remove Shutdown / Restart From Login Screen?

Mar 20, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (and, on another server, 10.10) and can't seem to figure out how to remove the Shutdown and Restart options from the menu on the bottom right of the login screen.

I've tried

Code: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor and checking the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons, but it doesn't do anything even after a reboot. I've also tried the above command as root (without the "-u gdm").

I have also tried adding the following lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf:

Code: RebootCommand= ShutdownCommand= These seem to have no effect either. Is this a Gnome bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Red Hat / Fedora :: RHEL6 Login Banner With Cancel Button Not Working

Jan 25, 2011

Having a little issue with creating a login message banner in RHEL6 that uses two buttons. One for Accept which logs the user in. The second for Cancel which immediately logs the user out. I've modified the /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file to have the script, posted below, and it worked perfectly fine in RHEL5. But in 6, when you click Cancel, the user is still able to log in. It even states in the system logs that the user cancelled the login.As you can see, I have the script using the 9th field of the user's env to get the PID, and using the kill command to end the process, which should be logging the user out right away if they click the Cancel button. This works in 5 without issue (though I used -f5 in RHEL5, had to move it to -f9 for RHEL6).

OpenSUSE Hardware :: WM Locking On First Login / But Clears After X Restart

Jan 4, 2010

I'm having a minor inconvenient issue with Suse 11.2/KDE4.3.From a cold boot, and then the first login, the desktop and WM [Compiz-Emerald] loads ok, but the plasmoids/icons are not 'clickable', although I can use keyboard, Command Line and 'right click' menus ok.If I restart X, then log in again, everything is ok, and stays ok until the next cold boot.It's as if the plasma desktop is masked [if that makes sense?], but only on the first login, as if there is a boot sequence issue or something.

General :: Installed Slackware - Host Login On Restart?

As I can remember I didn't write any username, or password. But as it seems, I have to type this in to login. I tried with "root", then this comes up "root@host:^#" if this is right, what should I type here to get further...

Fedora :: Removing Shutdown/Restart In Pull Down Menu And Login In 13?

Sep 20, 2010

I have a workstation with Fedora 13. This workstation is used for very long remote processes. Recently it has been shutdown accidentally by a user and has caused the loss of some of these processes. As such, for precautionary reasons, I have decided to remove these options from all our workstations so that only the super user can initiate reboots or shutdowns.

In previous versions I was able to do this by using gdmsetup and unchecking the Show Action Menu option. This also added the SystemMenu=false flag under [greeter] in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. This was under RedHat EL5. However in Fedora 13 neither of these methods work. Gdmsetup no longer exists and adding that flag to the custom.conf file does not work. I rebooted after editting the file and the shutdown option still appears at login.

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid Freezing / What To Do?

May 30, 2010

I'm having a problem with a new install of Lucid freezing a few seconds after booting up. Completely frozen - ctrl-alt-backspace or alt-SysReq-R-E-I-S-U-B have no effect. The md5sum of the installation iso was all right, the disk check was all right, & the memory test was all right. It's a GeForce 5500 graphics card, but I haven't installed any special drivers. Booting up to the command line (netboot) helps a bit but it still crashes after from a few minutes to a couple of hours. From the command line I tried removing compiz & compiz-core but it makes no difference. I also updated the installed packages, including to the 2.6.32-22 kernel, but no difference. This has happened with Jaunty & Karmic, but Intreprid runs fine, as did Windows XP. Anyone have any ideas what I could do to find out the cause ?

Skype relays interrupted sound intermittently. Problem gives impression of poor RAM performance but problem immediately after upgrade leaves doubt.

Ubuntu Installation :: Freezing When Booting Up After Updating?

Jan 18, 2010

I just completed a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 from USB (On a Toshiba portege m200). The installation went fine, and I updated the packages and rebooted when asked to do so, but when the computer was starting again the Ubuntu logo became wierdly deformed and then nothing happened. After 5 minutes I hard-rebooted it (Is that what its called? I held down the power button). And booted up in recovery mode. Again the computer froze, with this message as the latest on screen:

Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16

Ubuntu Installation :: ATI Drivers - Freezing / Locking

Aug 26, 2010

I installed Ubuntu yesterday to try it out, but encountered some freezing/locking issues. Seems to be related to the video card. I'm running Ubuntu in low graphics mode, but wanted to install the proper ATI drivers. I went to the ATI website for my X1950 (sucks, I know). Downloaded them just fine but when I run them nothing happens. I'm used to Windows so I'm probably doing something wrong.

Ubuntu Installation :: Mouse Freezing After Installing 10.10?

Nov 25, 2010

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Random Freeze / Hang-up It's been a while since I last posted. Just to update, I originally ran Ubuntu 10.04 for a couple of days before giving up on it before switching to Xubuntu Lucid (10.04) - which, in 3 months of solid use never fell over once.

A week ago I did a fresh install of Xubuntu 10.10 on the exact same machine, and guess what?, not a single hiccup either in nearly a weeks' uptime. As explained before, I simply don't know why Gnome falls over on my machine and XFCE doesn't - I'm mystified. But at least my machine's stable enough to actually get some work done, and that's all that really matters to me.

PS: NO, I haven't tried Ubuntu 10.10 yet, who knows, maybe it would actually work on my rig???.. but honestly, I've fallen in love with XFCE - the simplicity & configurability is awesome, best DE out there by a country mile...

what is the difference between the various forms of ubuntu - Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu, and from people's experience, which is the most stable (well the one at least that won't keep freezing etc)? It's getting quite frustrating now with my mouse freezing continually and there just does not seem a simple solution to the problem!
I use a Dell desktop C521, with AMD processor, and windows XP SP3 installed on it. So I got the ubuntu 10.10 CD, slotted it in and just followed the instructions to get ubuntu installed side-by-side with windows (ie. dual boot option).

Ubuntu Installation :: Graphical Glitch And Freezing On 10.10

Apr 16, 2011

I've been having trouble trying to install ubuntu (and mint linux too) - I have the same problem with either version.

It's an Acer T180 tower PC, when I come to install it'll go through the motions of setting up the drive, copying files and then downloading/installing language packs. Randomly though between copying files and downloading/installing language packs it will just sit there and freeze. Sometimes it will just freeze and stay on the same image, other times it will freeze and what's best described as a window blinds effect will go across the whole screen. Either way the PC stops responding.

I've tried multiple downloads of iso files (ubuntu and then mint) - running on usb and also running from cd and dvd - same issue each time. I've made sure that the username is lowercase too (just in case).

The other thing I've tried is removing the separate nvidia graphics card and using just the internal one (again an nvidia card). Ubuntu will prompt that there are restricted drivers available - doesn't matter whether I install them or not - it still freezes just the same.
