Ubuntu Installation :: Getting Error (Hardware Not Supported)?
Jul 12, 2010
This was my problem for installing: [URL]. Now I downloaded ubuntu server edition, and typed sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, so it did. Now I am starting my PC up, and I can't get past "waiting mouse" image and the background of the splash screen. I am on this error for a week or so already!
I recently tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. At first, the installation seemed to go smoothly, but when I tried to boot up, my screen displayed the following error message:
Input Not Supported
I am unsure how this is happening, since I was able to install 10.10 successfully. To better assist, I am attaching detailed information about my computer system.
I have downloaded Fedora 11 x64, and I went to the adobe website and downloaded the tar.gz file for flash player. I went into the terminal to untar the file and after I did that I tried to install it and got this error :
ERROR: Your architecture, 'x86_64', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer. What does this mean? My dad could get his to install but his is 32 bit.Do I have to wait until the full version is out?
I just downloaded the Fedora 10 cd yesterday and decided to install it. I had a partition for Fedora on my system before but I'm not really sure what I did to it. It wasn't booting and it has been so long since I messed with it I just decided to reinstall with the latest (I think I was running F9 previously). So I pop in the live CD, run the install, and then reboot into Ubuntu. I modified my menu.lst to include the new vmlinuz and initrd versions, as well as the new UUID of the partition. Now when I reboot and choose Fedora from grub's menu I get this error:

Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I found this wiki which does a pretty good job describing the problem:
[URL]
However, I'm still unable to get this to work. According to many different sites out there this problem shouldn't exist on newer computers. Well, I just recently put a new motherboard into this box -- it's this one:

According to their BIOS page the first release of this was late November 2008. Yes they have had 2 updates since then but it looks like those only serve to support AM3 CPUs (which I don't have) or update some audio playback issues. I seriously doubt I need to update my BIOS to get this to work.
Here's my fdisk:
Code:
$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[code]....
I can get Slackware 12.1 to boot (though it kernel panics during startup...not sure what I did to make it angry), but grub immediately fails when I attempt to boot Fedora. Here's the entry from menu.lst:
Quote:
titleFedora 10 (on /dev/sdb1) root(hd1,0) kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=178bc9f9-76ba-48aa-a588-de978cc1eee1 rhgb quiet
[code]...
I have verified that the vmlinuz and initrd are both correct. I put the UUID in there after running vol_id so I'm sure the entry is solid. I have tried making it "root=/dev/sdb1" which failed with the same error, and I even tried copying the fc10 vmlinuz and initrd files over to my Ubuntu partition (which controls grub) but for some odd reason the cp command takes a really long time and then I eventually get this weird error for initrd:
I got the same error with the dd command too. So I was going to just try and copy the files to my sdb3 partition and then modify the menu.lst entry appropriately but that doesn't seem to be plausible at this point.
I have a motherboard that was just released about 4 months ago, an Athlon X2 6000+ CPU, and 4gigs of RAM. The drives are both SATA 300 drives...it's not like this is some old Pentium Pro and the BIOS just doesn't support large drives...this is a brand new system with a very recent BIOS version.
I have successfully quadruple booted all of these in the past, but that may have been prior to the new motherboard. So that makes me think it could be something related to the motherboard but the thing is so much newer than what I previously had, certainly that can't be the problem...can it? Then I remember that Slackware boots, so if it's truly something about how the BIOS can't access some file beyond a particular section of the disk, then it doesn't make any sense that it can book slackware. Fedora is the first partition, Slackware is the last and is like 200+ GB into the disk.
I'm having a problem accessing a network share in windows 7 from Ubuntu 9.10. I can access this share from a Vista computer on the network, but not from Ubuntu. Windows 7 can also connect fine to my Ubuntu Samba shares. I get the following error when trying to connect with SMBclient.
I have a problem with acl's in Ubuntu Server 10.04. When i write in a terminal the command setfacl, the machine returns error: setfactl /home/xxxx: operation not supported.
After coming home one evening I found my server was turned off. My suspicions lead me to believe we had a storm and the power went off, then the UPS went off and finally at that point the server went off too. I think my server was set to allow security updates. After it turned of and restarted it seems it made a change to Grub and upgraded it to Grub2. In doing so I now get the following message:
Error 13: Invalid or un supported executable format
I have tried to do the following:

I am receiving the following error when trying to enable Compositing in Desktop Settings for KDE4 in openSuse 11.3-Xen
Code: Error: Compositing is not supported on your system. Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available. I want to have desktop effects enabled but can't seem to figure out how to get this done. "Advanced" Tab is greyed out. "Enable desktop effects" is greyed out.
[Code]...
This worked to get X up and running in the Xen kernel. However, I'm pulling what hair I have left trying to figure out how to enable compositing in Xen. The entire motivation for my upgrade was this one feature (amongst some other things).
Please show me where I'm going wrong. I hope this is not a "live with it" type of scenario due to my using Xen.
I think this might go for gaming, but maybe a general graphics problem could be taken into consideration for anything else that might display this error:
Code: fixme:d3d:state_wrap (WINED3DRS_WRAP0) Texture wrapping not yet supported. That was spammed in my terminal after I logged into my character. This was spamming itself before logging into my character: Code: err:d3d_surface:surface_allocate_surface >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glTexImage2D @ surface.c / 862 err:d3d_surface:surface_allocate_surface >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glTexImage2D @ surface.c / 862

Just to let you all know, I'm not all that advanced in Ubuntu or Linux knowledge, this game is just the only thing keeping me from going completely Ubuntu. I only have Windows installed to play this game, and I've gotten as far as to get this game playing this far,
I will try to keep this straight-forward. Yesterday I was able to access an ubuntu 10.10 (edubuntu) desktop using the tightVNC viewer that I installed on my Vista laptop. I never set anything up on the desktop it just worked and I didn't question it.
Today I get the following error on the viewer software: "Server did not offer supported security type" The only thing that has changed was that I installed a bunch of updates yesterday afternoon, but I am not sure what changed.
Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
I am running Jaunty Jackalope on a new machine and after a recent update I got the following message when trying to reboot:
Error 18 - Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
After reading some of the info on Grub error 18 I decided to create a separate boot partition, as suggested. However, when trying to use Gparted from the live CD to create some space ahead of /sda1, Gparted would run for a while and then crash. The crash message says:
"e2fsck crashed with SIGSEGV in qsort" So now I am stuck, unable to boot from HDD and unable to create new partitions (the other partitions on the disk work fine with Gparted). Could all of this be due to corrupt /sda1 partition?
I have a very strange problem in a C++ RHEL4 app. Here is the code: socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) returns errno 97 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) returns successow that is strange or what?additional info:1. Extracting the above code into a test program, both return success.2. Placing the above code into the 1st line of my app, error as above.3. I ran app and test program in the same terminal window.4. My app links in many static libraries 5. My app runs fine when compiled and linked on RHEL56. My APP is a ss7 endpoint (SIP <==> SS7 message flow)7. I verified PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_SGRAM values are correct.
I installed today (fresh install) the latest version of squeeze, and after installing kuser, I attempted to run the program (of course as root), so that I can start managing accounts with my preferred application. However, this is what I got when I attempted to run the program:
# kuser QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported kuser(3136): Session bus not found KCrash: Application 'kuser' crashing... sock_file=/root/.kde/socket-hostname/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.
I have just installed a Canon Pixma iP2200 on Fedora 14. The installation 'seemed' to go OK but whenever I try to print anything I get the following error:
"There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'."
I have done a bit of searching and the only advice i could find is to uncomment some lines in /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types but I don't have either of those files!
There is a centralized FTP server which are accessed by clients to develop some web development project and to achieve this the clients are using ftp service. The problem is when they are trying to copy any files and directories they are getting the following error: "Message reported from the file system: FTP copy not supported,use move instead" I've checked all the permissions and they are all OK. I don't know why this is happening. they can create and move files and folders but can't copy files and folders.
A neighbor of mine just got a Canon Pixma MP450 printer, to replace an old HP printer, and I am trying to get it to work with Fedora 11 installation from a machine they have borrowed from me. The printer gets recognized upon plugging it in but when I try to print a test page from the printer properties I receive the following error:'client-error-document-format-not-supported'
The driver that is selected for the printer is "Generic Driver" I have tried to select a driver but have not found any Canon drivers from the selection dialog box. After searching the web I see mention of a Canon MP150 driver working for the MP450 but I have not found this driver. Is there a driver I have to install from YUM or download from Canon? Are there others successfully using this printer and if so what have they done to get it to work?
I have just upgraded to 11.3 and work in icewm (I have kde apps installed but no other desktops). When I boot up the computer it gives me this console error message:
Code: kernel: [time] sisfb: Mode 'none' not supported anymore. Using default. kernel: [time] sisfb: Fatal error: Unable to reserve 16MB framebuffer memory kernel: [time] sisfb: Is there another framebuffer driver active? Apart from that I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. The computer isn't displaying immediate symptoms to me. I checked the hardware sticky and when I have a few hours I can work through
HTML Code: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards but I don't have that kind of time at the moment, so I wanted to check that that was the route I should be going down before I did. I googled this stuff but everything seems to start from a knowledge base above mine and leaves me clueless.
I've played with a couple of different versions on both Intel & AMD processors in the past (never totally successful) & all the versions I've played with in the past had separate downloads for i386 & AMD. I thought I'd try again with 9.10. When I started to download this morning, I only saw a version for x86 32bit & 64bit. What should I use for an AMD Athlon x2? Have Intel & AMD been rolled into x86?
Is it possible to boot from my external hard drive when not supported? I have no room on my internal hard drive and I would like to install ubuntu on a section of my external hard drive. I have an old Dell Dimension 2350 and the BIOS does not support usb booting.
I remember a few months ago I attempted to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell laptop however the Dell 1397 internal card wasn't recognized which was a huge problem. I posted here & nobody responded. Now before I try and install 10.10 on my laptop, is there a way I can verify that my WLAN card will be recognized by the kernel or is it the same thing as 10.04?
i have tried to install via usb ubuntu 10 - but after the boot menu my pc monitor says vga not support - i know some ati 2100 cards have a problem with ubuntu (onboard), is there anything i can do?
At the moment i am trying wibi install -- circa 64hrs remaining for download lol
ps my pc runs fine on xp.
specs amd x2 4400+ @ 2.3GHZ Brisbane, 1Gig ram, ati onboard 2100, i think a amd 740G chipset.
I have a desktop that has a d-link DWL-520 wireless card, which was working under Windoze. Today I installed Centos 5.4 on the system , which went cleanly. I then used Network Configuration to set up the wireless card. I specified to use DHCP, set the SSID and authentication password. When I tried to activate the card I get these error messages
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Determining IP information for wlan0.
The hardware manager seems to have correctly identified the card and chipset, (Intersil Prism 2.5) and installed driver hostap_pci which came with the distro. This web site seems to suggest that this is the correct driver: [URL] searching forums I've found a few references to these errors, but they were from several years ago, and for different distros and cards. I did find a reference to using Network Manager to configure the card instead of Network Configuration. I started the NM service and configured a connection using it instead, but still no luck.
The last time I updated Linux it was from Gibbon to Heron. (so 7.10 to 8.04 ) I'm now trying to get caught back up. Thing is, now that I updated from 8.04 to 8.10 I can no longer get to a GUI. Also, most of the text in the terminal is a diamond character as if the font that's installed doesn't want to work most of the time. This is somewhat confusing, but I believe my system's language was set as Japanese before the upgrade and now it's trying to display Kana and/or Kanji and the terminal doesn't like that. Not really important, but I'm not sure how to proceed to the next upgrade or get to a GUI. Fortunately, my system's set up to dual-boot with windows. Can someone help tell me how to get my GUI back or what package to install?
I'm running on a laptop with an ATI mobility Radeon 9700. I've had problems with it and drivers in previous versions back to 6.10 too, but never to the point that the GUI wouldn't work.It's actually an issue with my X Server. I tried "startx" and it says "No Screens found". I looked in my xorg.conf file and there are two screens listed at the bottom. It produced a log too, but I can't get my Flash drive to mount so I can't say exactly what it says. It did mention that there were a lot of font directories that didn't exist along with a few other warnings.
