Ubuntu Installation :: Hang Up Installing 10.04 LTS?
Jun 18, 2011
I'm trying to install 10.04 LTS and everything goes great until I get to step 2 of 7 after clicking my time zone it just hangs up. I had no problems installing using the same live disk earlier today on another cpu, I even tried another image to see if that was the problem. Installing 11.04 goes great too on the same cpu.Edit: I should of mentioned this earlier, but I also can run directly from the cd. The only issue is when I try to install it.
Trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 Server via a usb flash drive. Can't use a cd-rom as the server doesn't have a cd-drive! lol! It boots up and then hangs at the loading stage where the ubuntu symbol is displayed.
I upgraded my ubuntu 64 bit from 10.04 to 10.10 using the update manager on my Laptop ASUS, F80Series, 4Gb Ram, CPU Duo T8100. Ubuntu 10.10 could never boot: it always gets stuck. I tried the "recovery mode". The last two messages written, before getting stuck are:
[1.729408 ] NET: Registered Protocol Family 1 [1.730110] Registered Taskstat Version 1
I have 10.10 Maverick Meerkat installed on my desktop, and I have decided to install it on one of my laptops. The laptop is a..Code:HP Pavilion dv1010usAfter the bootscreen loads up, i can press ESC and I see..Code:(process:300): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)Should i just wait, or what can i do to fix this?
10.10 -> 11.04 Update hang and fail I used Update manager to update and the screen froze at the end of the "installing updates" phase with 1 minute remaining, with the last message "Installed liblvm2app2.2"
After a power cycle I get the grub boot menu but after that a blank screen and then nothing
The PC is a triple boot with Windows XP and Slackware. I can still boot into Windows.
I'll say up front I'm still new to Ubuntu, so if I've missed anything obvious please forgive me. I chose to upgrade my 9.10 installation to 10.04 via the update manager. Especially since I was going to be gone for long periods of time, this seemed like a good idea.
Downloading went fine, but I had to leave for a two day trip once I clicked install. When I returned, I noticed the machine was still on the purple loading screen with four dots. When I shut it down and rebooted, it got to the same screen. Pressing escape to show the text behind the screen showed two fails and one oddity:
(1) Setting sensors limits "Rather than invoking init scirpts through /etc/init.d, use the service( utility, e.g. service S49console-setup start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start( utility, e.g. start S49console-setup start: Unkown job: S49consile-setup"
(2) Starting VirtualBox kernel modules No suitable module for running kernels found
I am trying to install RHEL5.5 server on Dell Optiplex 360. When its reached at "checking dependencies in packages selected for Installation" its hang. What should I do, I checked cables hardware etc... every thing looks ok.
But when i try the Ubuntu Server Edition, using the same method of burning the iso file i downloaded from ubuntu homepage into a cd, and when i reboot my pc and the screen display the following:ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian 2008-07-15 Copyright (c) 1944-2008 H. Peter Anvin Loading...Initializing gfx codeand it hang there.Do anyone know what happened? I have verified the file i download and the disc i burnt through MD5SUM.

I'm attempting to install Kubuntu on a new laptop but seem to be having some strange issues. It's a Dell Latitude E5410 with 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Intel Core i5-520M(2.4GHz). I'm trying to install Kubuntu 10.10. When I restart the machine and boot from the CD for an initial install it seems to hang for a VERY long time. It will eventually get to the boot options (after hours) but seems sluggish. Once the install gets going everything seems decent except for that I can't seem to get it to finish. I know the CD is good since I used it to get Kubuntu on 2 desktops and another laptop in the last 48 hours. I've also burned another CD just to make sure. The checksum was spot on. Does anyone know what I can do to get this remedied?
I was doing a update via Synaptic Package Manager, after it is nearly finished i get that message: Processing triggers for python-central ... Nothing happend so i ctrl-c it and the packet manger shows me no other errors or something else, even all the packages who was marked for upgrade are now upgraded but what about that python message? Do i have to do some check ? or maybe even a repair or even worse re install the OS?
I've just installed Debian AMD64 on my main box (Intel Q6600, Ati HD4770, Asus P5K) using the DVD install. It boots, but hangs when it tries starting the graphical interface. No reports, no commandline, nothing at all - a nice black screen and completely unresponsive system.
i reached step six where it states "6. When the root and swap partitions are formatted the base installation will begin. Note that your system may appear to hang at different points during the install but it hasn't. Just be patient." I have been staring at a blank blue screen with this blinking cursor at the bottom for 30 minutes and i was just wondering how much more "patient" will it take. for some system details. the system is clean / fist time run and anything installed on it.
New install of Fedora 12 64-bit from DVD on an Optiplex 740 (AMD) with 8GB memory I had to use the mem= option to get the install past the EDD probe, but it seemed to install successfully. Now on boot it goes all the way through the "filling icon" progress meter, then switches to a completely black screen with an X pointer cursor that responds to mouse movement, but nothing else happens. Ctrl-Alt-F{2-5} do not switch to a console login, so the system's inaccessible.
Now, all of a sudden, after I restarted after a system update, My dell desktop inspiron hangs on boot. The kernel is: 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686. Not only that, but the system won't boot for any of the remaining previous kernels.
i have just upgraded from f14 to f15 using preupgrade. i am now still waiting for the first boot to finish. the screen is stuck for more than an hour and the last line written was:
Started LSB: Start up the OpenSSH server daemon. and there is a blinking cursor.
I have a problem with getting my Linux distribution (Debian amd64-bit) to install. Everything works the way it should - from booting a live CD/DVD (any distro) to running the text-based or gui installation right after bootup. Up until the Linux installation gets to the step for detecting my SATA hard disk drive(s), but before (or at the same time as) initiating the partitioning step, it'll freeze/hang my screen and my CD/DVD drives instantaneously - and the only fix is a forced shutdown and/or hard reboot.
I don't know what causes this, but I tried googling online and all that I really found out was that it might be an issue with running 32-bit vs 64-bit installations - but this is not the case; from running Gparted on Knoppix 32-bit or the partitioning step during a Debian 64-bit installation. Also, I read a random post online related to running kernel commands / parameters alongside the installation (e.g. acpi=off or something similar) stating that it might help?
Anyone got any ideas or solutions? I'm a real newbie when it comes to Linux (though, I'm quite knowledgeable when it comes to computers and technology, and Windows) - else I wouldn't be posting in this forum sub-section, hehe. I can't quite get my head around this one - despite trying my best to find a solution online beforehand.
New to Linux and am wanting to install ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 on a single separate 80gb drive. I have Windows installed on 2 80gb drives in Raid0 (nvidia controller) .I have installed 9.10 but Win7 will not load from the bootloader : gives me the error invalid signature. I've looked around and tried a few things to get it to load with no success.. is the Raid0 the issue?
If I try to install 10.04 it will hang and eventually errors out, I believe on the raid drive because it comes up with dev/mapper/nvidia_hhfbdccf1..
I installed F11 x86 from the DVD onto one of my machines using a total of 4 partitions:
1. /boot 2. / 3. /home 4. swap
I then created an image of the first 3 partitions with fsarchiver and restored it onto a second machine (with different hardware). Grub was loaded onto the second machine as well without a problem. The new cloned install will get past grub fine but the kernel hangs. After removing 'rhgb quiet' from the boot options, I can see that the last message outputted to the console is something about the PS/2 mouse - this doesn't make sense as the mouse is working perfectly fine.
Additionally, I can still reboot using ctrl-alt-delete so the kernel/CPU must still be responsive. I have tried troubleshooting the various pieces of hardware, so I'm guessing it's something with the clone. All the cloned filesystems appear to be fully intact; the partition UUID's are all the same. I've even tried changing the UUID's both in grub and /etc/fstab to hardcoded /dev/sdaX , but this does not fix anything.
when trying to choose the Linux partition, I found that it would just hang at a blank screen. Looking further into the problem, I had booted with the Linux Rescue and checked the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. It appeared to be that the menu was set to hidden. I got rid of that line, and checked the boot arguments. It still had acpi=off set with the kernel and everything else seems to be in order. Root is set to root (hd0,2) which should be correct.
I'm having a bit of a problem with the new Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my Windows 7 based machine via Wubi. I see the error message "Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr" on my screen for around two minutes, then "Try hd(0,1)" shows on the next line briefly, then Grub loads and I can boot normally. All the time the error message is on the screen there is lots of hard drive activity. Is there anything I can do to fix this delay in my booting up sequence?
I performed a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and it caused the system to freeze up completely. The freeze would happen anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds after a full boot.

I have installed uec on my ubuntu-desktop through packages and made cc and nc etc on a single machine ..now i am unable to boot my ubuntu.I want to remove the UEC enrty on startup ..what should I d
I've had this bug on pretty much all Linux distro's I've tried in the last few months, but because I love Ubuntu and I can't seem to find this bug reproduced anywhere (though I'm not sure it's a bug worth reporting if it's just me) I decided to bring it here: Whenever a program that is not resource intensive (for example, Update Manager while it's downloading packages) is running for around 20 seconds, and I am not typing or moving my mouse, the system will hang. It will sit there for hours on end unless I move the mouse or hit a key.
Worse yet, it will hang on boot and shutdown too. I often have to hit a key to get the hard drive to start reading again and for anything else to happen for that matter. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a relatively new laptop, but like I said before, it's happened on a bunch of distros: Debian, openSUSE, Fedora... I just have no idea what could be causing it at this point.
My machine is running in Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.7Ghz, Nvidia legacy Riva tnt/tnt2 and a 512mb ram. I have a Network adapter, Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC. I have installed Ubuntu in my Window Xp, and used the ACPI workaround to install ubuntu on my PC. Now that I have installed Ubuntu, when I try to boot ubuntu, it always hang before it start to boot.
I am using Rhythmbox 0.12.8 on Lucid 64-bit. In the "Your Downloads" window, it shows many of the tracks with "0MB downloaded" and one with "Queued", and doesn't really seem to be showing any progress.
addition 1: I completely shutdown RB, opened Ubuntu One from the MY Menu and placed a check mark in the "file synchronization" box. It seems to be working now. I had forgotten I turned off the file synchronization.
After installing and activating "ATI&AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver" ;in Ctrl+Alt+F2" mode, do following steps:sudo pidof X (to get pid number)sudo kill xxxx (xxxx is the pid number)Then , system hang up!If the FGLRX driver is not installed , there is no such problem
My problem is that my server randomly hangs. If I remember right it started after an kernel update (can't really remember if it was a kernel update specific, but I did install new updates before this problem occurred), and then I noticed my server was down one day, after that the problems/random freezes continued. And there are no pattern/interval between the freeze ups.
I think that all this started for about 3 weeks ago, so I've never had this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 before.
At first, I thought the source to my problem was an old IDE which I accidentally left in when installing Ubuntu at the first time, so GRUB was sitting on that one. So I backed up almost all of my data, reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 (downloaded from the website) but this time without the old IDE drive. Everything seemed to work, had no crashes or freezes. I do have to mention that the same thing happend to the live CD before I removed the old IDE.
But now the fresh install of Ubuntu seems to hang too. And the worst part of this is that I can't really do anything about it to test or look up what may cause the problem, as I have to access it remotely because I'm on vacation right now (I'll have to get my friend over there and restart it).
When the computer hangs it comes inaccessible from the network, can't even see that it is up in my router. But I do know it is running, else it would have been shut off and then started up again and work.
Before I re-installed it, this problem could be reproduced by surfing the web and watching flash videos in either chromium or Firefox.
And I do know it sounds silly to run a server with the desktop edition installed, but if I don't have any other computer accessible, I use my server instead.
Upgraded dual boot XP / Ubuntu 2.6.31-22 (still works) to 2.6.32-22, which hangs on boot. "2.6.32-22 recovery mode"(and "continue" dies at "Checking battery state". Ctrl Alt F3 gets a prompt and the login works.
The machine is a Thinkpad g40, which has worked on 9.10, except for wireless distance issues (the G40 has the Atheros AR5211, which seems to be a problem, at least per the forums, and my distance limits experience)
I get the same mount and chroot messages, followed by scrolling msgs, and then a blank screen on attempting to boot 2.6.32-22. And, as indicated, 2.6.31-22 boots and the apps I checked work fine. On the upgrade, there were several msgs about non supported apps and a grub question, which I (naively) answered as use the package version (and was somewhat surprised when dual boot still worked - but impressed and happy
I cloned my hard drive prior to the upgrade, so can revert to 9.10, but would like to run 10.04 LTS. Any suggestions. or should I wait for a while to upgrade?
I'm trying ti boot an xubuntu lice cd 6.06 on a new computer , Intel DG43NB board. I have tried several options at boot with the f6 key and have had no luck at all.It goes to the OK booting the kernel screen and locks up there.
