After installing the upgrade package to 11.04, ubuntu cannot boot up and shows the following:

I was happy with my Jaunty on my Asus X53 with ati radeon hd2600 and restricted driver, until two hours ago. I've started (after a long wait) to upgrade my Jaunty, everything was fine after upgrade, but I've noticed video was running with "ubuntu driver" and 3d wasn't available, so I started to install a fresh release of ati driver. But before I've saw in /usr/share/ati the previous copy of my restricted driver so before install the fresh copy I've run "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" it had remove all telling me there wasn't any istance of fglrx (of course I thought...) ...and so before start with new installation I've thought about a reboot for first, but after it I'm unable to boot...
from normal boot it simply hang after a while, I think when it try to initialize video card. but more worse, also after choice recovery option at grub loader it hang after a bit, without give me any prompt.
I made a mistake while upgrading the GRUB options - when choosing "install the maintainer's version vs. keep the local version"...in the drop down menu, I chose the local version option. On reboot, GRUB works, but I can't boot into 10.04. My old entries (kernels) are still there, but when I choose them, there's an error that says something like "disk not found". However, I am able to boot into Vista.
So do I solve this problem by fixing GRUB? If so, how? I have a Live CD of 9.10, would that be necessary to use it to solve this problem?
refer to [URL], under GRUB.menulst: maintainer's version vs. keep the local version. I read it afterwards (I should've read it before)
After going through the upgrade (alternate cd) I now can't boot into XP, even though it's in the GRUB2 menu.
I have fixed up the boot sector as described at this site Attached are my results from the boot info script
SDA1 is XP
SDA3 is 10.04
sda3 has this strange error: Quote: Grub 2 is installed in the boot sector of sda3 and looks at sector 66800445 of the same hard drive for core.img, but core.img can not be found at this location.
I dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows XP. After an upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 online, I can boot XP, but not U10.4 It looks to me that U10.4 does not find the MBR. Fortunately I can boot into XP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave had a torrid time with upgrading to 10.4 and now regret it. The initial workaround from [uRL] works for me and I can get booted, but the attempt to permanently edit that into the kernel boot parameters dos not work, and restart just returns to the original problem. How can I edit the kernel boot parameters or what am I doing wrong? I enter the commands as given. I assume the vertical line and line break mean I hit enter in the terminal then.

After upgrade, i restarted ubuntu and chose ubuntu from the OS list. Right after that, my laptop restarted. No error showed. I have tried several times, same thing happened everytime.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu like 3 days ago with a cd I got when I bought a magazine about Ubuntu. That cd contained Ubuntu 9.10. After a couple of hours I desided to instal 9.10. After using 9.10 for 1 day and installing some programs like java and flash player, I checked for updates and desided to update to 10.04. The installation seemed to go all smooth, but after I clicked on the 'reboot now' button, my laptop couldn't boot no more. A little purple screen with "Ubuntu" written on it popped up for like 5 seconds and then it dissapeared, and there I had a nice black screen. I waited 4 hours, but still nothing. Yesterday I installed 9.10 again, and now I still want to update to 10.04 or 10.10. But I can't seem to use a Usb flash drive with my Toshiba laptop, and I only have 1 cd left. My rabbit kinda destroyed the 10.04 cd and now I only have 1 cd left. Shall I burn 10.10 on a cd and check if that one will work properly, or is my laptop just to old and slow ( Centrino 1.6ghz, 512mb ram ) to run one of those versions? I'm really new to ubuntu and my English sucks as well, because I come from Holland.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI initially installed 10.04 using the Ubuntu Windows Installer and everything was running fine. When I would boot up the computer it would first hit the Windows Boot Loader and give me the option of booting Windows 7 or Ubuntu. When I chose Ubuntu GRUB (I believe) would then load asking if I wanted to load Ubuntu or Windows 7. This was fine as it would work and that's all I cared about. Now after running the 10.10 upgrade from within Ubuntu (not from a CD) when I select Ubuntu from the Windows Boot Loader it acts as though Ubuntu is going to load, the screen goes black and then the computer reboots itself. I would prefer to fix the problem, if possible, instead of doing a fresh install.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 (32bit) to Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit) desktop edition using Update Manger. After installation, the system restarted and it boots straight into a grub> command line. I cannot but into Ubuntu.
I am currently dual booting with Windows XP. I also fired up a LiveCD session and opened up GParted, but it does not list my Ubuntu partition. It only lists the Windows partition.
Desire to try ubuntu at work but also not to break my work machine so i opted for the windows installer desktop edition.
10.04 64bit AMD version installed, after getting flash installed everything was great, very impressed.
Something telling me there was a newer version, so i went to the updater, ran it, it found 10.10, i proceeded, got to the clean up step, said something about x# of files not needed, clicked remove, ask me to reboot. I reboot and it gets to the OS choices screen, i choose ubuntu and i see no messages, it just flicks me back to the bios.
I can't seem to find this problem documented anywhere. Is it best to just re-install or can it be fixed?
Secondly, is the windows installer version decent enough? Are there many disadvantages? I'm just a bit wary of trying the conventional method in case i mess up the partitions/MBR or windows which would be disastrous on my work machine.
I just upgraded to 11.04. When booting, I can only start through "Linux older versions". Otherwise, with the first booting option, I only get "Ubuntu" on a fixed screen. Windows 7 also works fine. What can I do?
View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday clicked the "update to 10.10" button - after some hours it rebooted and asked if I'd like to upgrade to "11.04" - after several hours of downloads, it was still "at it" so I left it overnight - following the demanded reboot, all I get is a stroppy prompt demanding "login" and "password" - tried everything I can think of in the way of both,still locked out.

I tried using a recovery boot through Grub and can see that the boot process hangs after outputting:

If I ESC to get a prompt, I get:
Code:

I can't run dpkg-reconfigure as I get a read-only filesystem error.
Can't boot at all. At first, was able to boot using LiveCD USB but now whether I plug it or not, computer freezes at blank screen with blinking cursor at the top left of the screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 10.04 as an upgrade from 9.10 on a dual-boot (2 separate disks) machine and it decimated my Win bootloader. I did fix and here's my solution:
1/ Run Win XP installation disk
2/ Type R for Repair
3/ Choose XP installation
4/ Run FIXMBR and FIXBOOT
Note when I ran FIXMBR only, it did not fix my problem. But running both FIXMBR and FIXBOOT did solve the problem. I offer for information only, as your situation may require a different solution.
Installed v9 a couple of weeks back and have been causally mucking about with it since. I managed to get XP and ubuntu running as a dual boot system (which was an achievement ).
Anyway, i've upgraded to 10.04 - and already loving it. However... my XP o/s no longer boots. It use to prior to the upgrade. Now, when the XP o/s is selected from GRUB2, I just get a series of bleeps and a flashing _.
Now, I am a complete novice. I actually have no idea where to even begin trouble shooting GRUB2 (and i'm assuming its a problem with GRUB).
I have searched and searched but cannot find someone with the exact problem as me. I upgraded to LL today. During the installation it asked me which parts to install grub to. I should have just checked all the boxes, but i cant remember wat i pressed.
Now my grub menu look like
-ubuntu
-ubuntu memtest
-windows 7
when i choose windows 7, it just goes straight back to the grub menu . .
I just upgraded to 10.04 and now all I'm getting is a flashing cursor when I try to boot Windows in Grub. I can load the Windows partition in linux no probs so I know it's all ok, although I'm going to backup before I try anything risky!
Anyway I've had a look around and can see people who've had the same prob but only really with Windows Vista and 7. So... just trying to figure if there's anyway of getting grub to load WindowsXP properly!?
I've run boot_info_script055.sh which was recommended for one of the Win7 answers and posted the output below.

I have a dual boot system with Win XP and Ubuntu (using grub boot menu). I recently upgraded my Ubuntu from 9.04 (Jaunty) to 10.04 (Lucid) and now I cannot boot into Ubuntu - I just get a desktop with no icons or disk activity. I think this may have something to do with the fact that I answered 'no' when asked whether to replace my menu.1st file, and possibly some others. So my boot menu still refers to 9.04.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had 9.10 installed for a long time as a dual boot with win7 on this computer. I mostly use win7, but today i went into ubuntu and it said there was a new version available so i installed it.the error occured with the grub installation. it said if i was unsure of where to install it, i should install it on all drives, so I did. ever since then i've been looking online using this liveCD to find some solution to fix the problem, but I cant.here is what i've tried:
1. i downloaded a windows 7 repair disc and used the bootrec.exe /fixboot and /fixmbr commands, but this ends up with a blank screen with a cursor blinking.
2. I've tried re-installing grub, but this ends with the boot freezing at a screen with something like: "sh:grub>" and i can't do anything.
3. I've tried testdisk but this also didn't work for me.
i've been trying to fix this problem for 7 hours now but nothing. so i'm hoping maybe someone here would help my specific situation out.the current status of my computer: i have uninstalled grub in sda1 and sda5 (my ubuntu should be in sda5) and i used the windows7 repair CD to /fixboot and /fixmbr, so now when i boot, it freezes at a blank screen with a blinking cursor. anyone can help me, please?
I have just upgraded to 10.04 and everything was working perfectly, until I upgraded my memory. I cannot boot from live USB / CD - these take me to the initial boot option menu, from which every option (except memory test) results in blinking cursor top left of screen, and cannot type.
Reinstalling my old memory sticks results in the system working fine. The new memory sticks pass memory tests (bios & ubuntu boot) with no errors whatsoever, and the boot sequence progresses fine until the point where the OS tries to boot. I am running AMD Athlon 64 3200+, Asus K8V Deluxe m/b. Memory that works is 2x 512mb PC3200 XMS. Memory that doesn't work is 3x 1gb PC2700 ECC. but please provide instructions on the basis that I know nothing, because I no practically very little about linux / ubuntu.

my left mouse button on my Acer laptop stopped working out of nowhere. While searching for a solution I started the upgrade process. Without thinking I restarted during the upgrade installation, which has apparently caused some big problems.I cannot boot any longer. I get the Ubuntu splash, then a slowly flashing black screen.I am able to boot to the Live Cd without any problems, but I'm not sure what to do from there.I'm been searching the forums, but can't find anything.

Dual boot Windows XP SP3 & Ubuntu 9.10 on a single hdd, w/2 partitions. Booted to Ubuntu and upgraded online. XP boots fine, but Ubuntu, not so much; a msg about /dev not found, followed by a shell login prompt. I suspect a grub problem, but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. Since I can at least boot XP, I do not want to do anything that would screw that up and leave me with no bootable OS. I did the "upgrade" shortly after 10.04 was released. Is there a way to reliably fix this w/o possibly screwing up my ability to boot XP, the only OS I can boot? I have no Ubuntu 10.04 disk, as I used their upgrade online option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a similar problem to that described in the 'MBR questions (and: Windows 7 not booting with Grub2)' Thread, except that mine is with Vista and the bootinfoscript result is different.
I have upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 on my desktop PC, running Vista from sda1 with Linux on sda6 (actually the second partition of the 320 gig master drive, there is a similar external HD that causes the high number, but its presence or absence has no effect on my problem).
On booting, a cursor flashes top left on a blank screen ( no 'Grub Loading' text) and then the grub menu shows the new 32.22 Linux options and the Windows Vista booting from sda1.
If I press enter on the Linux option the cursor flashes for 20 seconds and then boots into Ubuntu with no problems.
If I press Enter on the Windows option the cursor flashes for 3 minutes without any change, completely unresponsive to any Keyboard input. ( I have not left it any longer, I have to hit the power button to shut down.)
If I press 'e' on the Windows option the screen shows: Gnu Grub v1.98 -1ubuntu6; Ctrl-x gives a terminal with a 'GRUB>' prompt, but it does not recognise any commands I tried. The boot option shows 'Disk Boot Failure,insert System Disk and Press Enter.' Pressing Enter reverts to the Grub Menu.
Booting from a Vista recover DVD and running Startup Repair shows no error, but it still does not boot. The dvd does not give me the option to repair the MBR, but does offer a Command Prompt. Can I repair the MBR from there ? if that is what I need to do.
If so what commands should I use ?
Bootinfoscript shows Grub2 in sda0 and both sda1 and sda5 (the Recover partition) pointing to different places in neither of which is core.img to be found:

Should I remove the Grub 2 from one or more of the partitions, as described by darkod ?

I was running Ubuntu 9.10 on my Toshiba A40 Laptop and decided to take the plunge and upgrade to 10.04. Everything seemed to go well until the Restart. Now it only gets to the Splash Screen (Purple Screen with "Ubuntu" and dots under it) and then there is a flash and the text becomes blocks briefly before going to a blank screen! It seems like it might be a video problem but...
