Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Hangs After Logo Loads
Sep 4, 2010
I am trying to install 9.1. On bootup the CD loads and gives me the options on Installation, Try Ub etc. However after I choose install the BW logo shows up but nothing happens after that.
Incidentally i have 2 of these machines with 9.1 and 10.04 installing fine in the other one. In this one the main difference is a newer DVD burner. The other one also has a DVD burner but older.
The DVD burner is about 7 months old - purchases earlier in the year.
So wondering if loading the driver is an issue? if so how does the CD load and even the logo loads after Install is selected?
Or is it a different issue and would there be different options to try when installing? I would rather not have to replace the DVD burner.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP Pavilion p6565uk.
My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.

I performed a clean install of Fedora 15 from DVD and it goes fine until the end when the install program says to reboot the computer. Once I do that, the computer hangs before Grub loads, i.e. just after all of the BIOS messages, so there isn't any error message to indicate what is wrong. I had no issues with Fedora 14.

The Ubuntu installer hangs on step 3 0f 6, the stage in which you select the keyboard layout. The computer it is being installed on is a Toshiba Satellite.disk had previously worked to install on a macbook for dualbooting.

trying to install ubuntu on a 2nd partition on a Dell D630. The OS currently on it is Windows 7 Enterprise. I've used Windows 7 to repartition and have 80GB available for the Ubuntu install but when I put the CD in to run it gets detected as a bootable CD and starts to boot but freezes after Loading...I've left it for 2 hrs and it never progressed past that screen. I've also downloaded and burnt the ISO three times (twice in the 64 bit version and once in the 32). In all cases the install never advances. I've also tried a USB install but couldn't get that to boot

I can boot up 11.04 amd64 to an sd card, and in the early alphas I could install it fine. Older versions of ubuntu install fine (10.10), too.
But since about beta 1 or so of 11.04 (and with the final release), it boots up and I see the installer and it says, yes, you have enough disk space and so forth. But then I click the 'forward' button to proceed with the install and it just hangs with a spinning cursor.
Any one else have this problem or know a workaround/fix? Or know how I can turn on debug messages or so forth to see where exactly it is hanging?
I'm trying to install to an hp tm2t (no cd drive).

Just bought a new computer that I will use as server:
Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H motherboard
AMD Phenon II 1090T
16 Gb RAM
4 x Seagate 2Tb hard disks
I tried to install Ubuntu server 10.04 and 10.10, both 64 bit, having similar results. Also I have tried enabling and disabling the RAID card. On 10.04 installer hangs preparing disk partitioning phase at 43%, on 10.10 hangs at the same stage 45%. Must I download something and apply before that phase?

I've just decided to downgrade from 64-bit to 32-bit Ubuntu. I created a live USB from the most recent (as of today) 11.04 download, booted up, and selected the option to replace Ubuntu. (Also on my HDD are a Windows partition and a shared partition for documents.)The installer hung at the timezone select page - and, foolishly, I hard-restarted the PC. I can get into 'try Ubuntu' without problems, but every time I try to actually install, it hangs. I can't boot into Windows, since GRUB seems to have been overwritten in my failed partial install. (I can get to a 'grub rescue' prompt, though.)
I suspected it might have something to do with my internet connection - I need to go through a university proxy script, so I'm not sure whether the installer will actually have internet access, even after I've been able to apply proxy settings while running Ubuntu from the USB.

I'm trying to install Wheezy (amd64) from the daily netinst image with the text-based installer. The PC will lock up randomly at some point in the process (usually after about 5-10 minutes). The video signal cuts out, keyboard lights are unresponsive, and I have to hard-reset the machine.I was previously trying to install Linux Mint Debian Edition and had the same problem. Another user reports that this is due to a bug in the nouveau nVidia driver, but I can't confirm it.URL...
I assume the Debian text installer isn't using nouveau, so it seems unlikely that would be the problem. The random timing does suggest an overheating problem, though, and the fact that the video signal drops out would seem to implicate the video card. I had no lockups at all with the OS that was previously installed (Ubuntu 11.04).

I've not jumped on the Alpha/Beta upgrade's this time round so have decided to upgrade by doing a fresh install. I'm using the normal desktop install cd via usb. On the drive setup I choose to manually setup the partitions. I deleted the partition which help Lucid. Created a new partition with the root path. All good so far. I selected my home partition and selected use as 'ext2', entered /home as the mount point. Clicking ok to return, showed the /home partition as marked to be formatted, I was unable to change this ... so I decided to quit the installer and reboot ...
1st problem ... the root partition for Lucid was deleted, and a new empty partition created, despite the fact I had not confirmed the actions.
2nd problem ... rebooting with the live cd (which I'm on now) and running the installer, it hangs when I select manual partitioning.

I just installed a .deb package using the Package Installer in Ubuntu. After closing the dialog that told me it finished installing, the "Package Installer" window was left grayed out and impossible to close (the 'x' button does nothing). How can I terminate this program? Why does Ubuntu not have a way to end processes that don't respond to input?
It does not seem to be listed in the system monitor.

My Dell poweredge server running CentOS 5.4 and booting kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5. All boot processes seem okay and the graphical screens for CentOS operate, but just before the desktop loads the screen goes blank and the arrow/cursor is being circled by small spheres. This remains indefinitely. While the arrow is being circled, here are the results of 'getinfo.sh device'

I got a problem. At the day of New YEar, i got a virus, that my antivirus big time. When i started Windows, i instantly got BSoD. I managed to format my HDD, and now i wanna try to install Ubuntu. It has been working before, but after an update, I can't get further then the logo in the boot process. Now, I don't have any OS. Ubuntu & Kubuntu both just gives me the logo/loading screen, and then goes black..
windows 7 also just goies to "Starting windows"... Prretty annoying.
Think i got 3 GB RAM, 950gb HDD, and 2x 128 MB ATI X-Fire video.

When I try and install Ubuntu 9.10 it gets to the flashing Ubuntu logo, then the screen just goes black. It then says: (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. I also tried the disk on a another computer and it worked fine, and I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 on this computer before without a problem.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my dv1000 but I can't seem to get past the Ubuntu loading logo. I'm using the same CD that I used when I installed onto my Dell Inspiron 600m and that installation went flawlessly. Right after the Ubuntu loading logo, my screen just goes black and sits there seemingly doing nothing. Does anyone know of compatibility issues with my laptop or is there a workaround to this black screen issue?

Yesterday I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (x86_64). The upgrade itself succeeded, but now just before the login screen appears there is an almost fullscreen nVidia beta logo showing up. With 10.04 it did not.
Driver version is 260.19.06, graphics card is a GeForce GTS 250.
How can I hide the logo? I can't find a setting for it in the nVidia X server settings.

I upgraded 10.04 to 10.10. At the tail end of the install, the display locked. After an hour or 2 I rebooted the box.
Came up to a command prompt (instead of starting the GUI automatically), started the GUI, everything seemed fine.
Ran 10.10 fine for 2 days. Installed apps, got my SVN environment set, started doing development work.
I got a lockup, had to reboot....Came back as 10.04.
I have only one hard drive (/dev/sda), 4 partitions.
My new files all seem to be there, are accessible and valid. Just the OS version has reverted??!?!?!?
How do I get back to 10.10 (without doing another update, install cycle)? Surely it's there somewhere...
Looking at the grub list, only Ubuntu 10.04 is an option.Looking at the /boot directory, there are several initrd.img files that are newer than the ones associated with 10.04 in the grub/menu.lst file (i.e., Ubuntu 10.04.1 = initrd...2.6.27, whereas there are other files in the boot directory like 2.6.26, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32)

After Upgrading to 11.04 32bit, the PAE Kernel loads by default. This would be great except it hangs probably due to graphics not loaded properly.
Regardless I do not want to use PAE Kernel on this dev system I have and luckily it looks like the Generic Kernel of the right version is in a sub-Menu called Older Linux Versions.
I have played with Grub2 before making minor changes but this one is a little beyond me. How can I move the regular Generic Kernel from the sub-Menu and make it my default Grub2 kernel so I boot to it automatically.

The system asked me to reboot and I just shut down the computer.Some hours ago, I wanted to start the computer and the system halted after the first logo showed of Ubuntu, after 15 minutes waiting, nothing happened. I tried to push keys on the keyboard, nothing helped (I even couldn't put on CAPS or num lock on the keyboard).After a secoind reboot I didn't even saw the Ubuntu logo. When there's a black screen, it just sits there.I have no idea if there was a kernel update (I assume there was, because the system wanted me to reboot)

Trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 desktop (amd64) on this brand new system:
I connected the Dell ST2410 24" Full HD Widescreen LCD to the HDMI port on the ATI card and Windows 7 boots up just fine.
So then I put in the "ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso" CD in drive and reboot the system. I see the Ubuntu logo with the dots for a while and then the LCD goes black. The LCD reports that there is no signal from the system. The power light in front of the LCD goes from white to amber. The keyboard stops responding.
I power off everything, remove the Ubuntu CD and reboot the system and it works fine again with Windows 7.
The CD has no problems. At boot time, I checked it for defects and it reports no errors. At boot time, I used this same CD to check the system for memory errors. No memory errors. I used the same CD to install Ubuntu on other systems and had no problems.
The 16X DVDRW Drive has no problems. In Windows 7 it can play CDs and DVDs.

After installing ggobi from the Lucid repositories, I get a bunch of errors on running it, all to do with not finding plugins, e.g.** (ggobi:10070): CRITICAL **: Error on loading plugin library plugins/ DataViewer/ plugin. la: (null)Sure enough the plugins aren't available when ggobi loads.

The problem is I've set up a dual boot with Xp and Ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu was working fine till 2 days back but now when I select Ubuntu from the grub screen i get a whole lot of numbers next which it'll say Usb drive or sd card reader etc.. these go by quickly and then the comp stops running. If i press enter on the keyboard I get Initramfs and then i can type but nothing happens even if I type reboot. if I press cntrl+alt+F2 then i get a blank screen with flashing cursor. Same with recovery mode. Windows boots fine. The grub2 screen comes fine. The last thing i did before this happened is reconfigure the grub2 screen, but it seems to be fine (i had added a background img and reordered the boot options) I did not edit grub.cfg. I would prefer not to reinstall it as iv done it a half a dozen times already in the last few weeks..

Ive installed Ubuntu 10.10 from a SD card (yes my laptop supports booting from SD) and it works fine except the grub does not load. Although I know there are many threads about this Im not sure which one to use because my problem is quite strange.
Im not pretending I understand how grub works but I find it strange:
When I boot from Hard Drive, it boots into Windows without loading grub (I installed ubuntu to an empty partition along the windows on the same drive), however, when I force booting from the SD card, I get the grub window with all the options as expected - ubuntu, mem check, windows 7. Now Im not sure if its grub loading from this SD card (containing ubuntu) or the card somehow runs the grub that is on the hard drive.
My guess is that the partition containg windows (sda0) is flagged as boot and thus the system doesnt even look after grub when booting, however, when theres the SD card it somehow forces booting the ubuntu partition (sda6).
Any idea what I should do? I can boot into Ubuntu, I can access grub etc. I just cant make it load without having the SD card in my PC

I'm trying to install ubuntu from a disk I got with a Ubuntu manual magazine, but once I choose the install option, the logo glows for a couple minutes then freezes and nothing happens. The same happens for running it without installation. Does anyone know what I should do? I'm currently downloading it onto a USB stick to attempt to boot it from that.
