Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel Messages And Display Becomes Corrupted
Feb 1, 2011
Recently I am trying to install the latest Ubuntu / Xubuntu but after the kernel messages the display becomes corrupted. The machine is a Clevo laptop with the dreaded SIS 671 / 672 chipset. The Ubuntu 8.04 is working flawlessly. Any other version I get several problems and depending on the mood of the system I get a vertical running display ( not readable ) or a left horizontal displaced screen (readable) ...
I tried more tan several CDs ranging from 9.01 to 10.10 both Ubuntu or Xubuntu. What is the plainest (simpler ) VGA mode in order to install it? I have tried vga=normal and even VGA =3 with no success. With the latest Ubuntu 10.10 I get another problem it simply does not recognize the HDD / SSD. I have traced the SSD problem with the sata_sis module in kernel 2.6.35 and up... Other distros have the same problem ...

I'm COMPLETELY new to linux. I"m running Ubuntu 9.10 and TRYING to install Devede. I have tried the Terminal, Synaptic Manger, and the Add/Remove and still keep getting this same error. I'm running a regular 32 bit Pentium 3 process to test if I like Linux or not. this is what it says: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-extra-52_4%3a0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu3_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive this is not a DUAL boot computer either.

My display settings seem to have been corrupted after I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. I can only view my screen in 1280 x 1024 - no other resolutions work. Ubuntu is also not detecting my monitor, a Dell E193FP (19"). In reading some other posts, I see that the first question will be to post my xorg file, which follows.

New machine with an ATI 5770, with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid, 64-bit). What a mess! As reported elsewhere, the initial install sometimes came up with a black screen, or corrupted displays, different each time. After several retries, I had a display that was corrupted but barely readable. The installed Ubuntu booted, but also had a corrupted display, just barely readable. I was just able to make out the hint that I should use the proprietary drivers, so I booted into safe mode and enabled them. Afterward, the display came up correctly.
This is ok for me, as a long-time Ubuntu user. But it really is like a trip back to the bad-old-days of Linux: you really cannot expect anyone but a geek to get through this. And the is the LTS version of Ubuntu? I use two monitors, to provide a double-wide single desktop. When I log in, the second monitor displays random noise, and is entirely unusable. I have to use System-Preferences-Monitors to switch the second display off, then switch it back on, and then everything works fine.

I have a PC with three partitions: C, D, E. The C: and D: partition are NTFS and C: has Windows XP on it. D: holds my data files and folders in the Windows environment. E: has CentOS version 5.x. The machine is dual bootable. When booting up Grub gave me the options to boot to CentOS (by default) or to boot into Win XP (by selecting it).
Recently I used Partition Magic to resize the D: partition. I shrank the D: partition. The freed space space was then used to create a new NTFS partition.
After the partitioning was completed, I rebooted the machine. But now Grub is having a problem. It does not display the list of of bootable OS options any more. Instead there is just a black screen with the prompt:
grub>
What am I supposed to do here?
I am afraid that after I ran Partition Magic somehow Grub is messed up. How do I recover the previous boot options? Or at the minimum, how do I make the the machine to boot into Windows XP?

I used Ubuntu 9 (Karmic Koala) for some time with no problems. When I upgraded to Ubuntu 10 (Lucid Lynx) I ran into graphics issues.After I log in, the screen scrambles (a purple/green mess)--impossible to decipher anything, although I can get out by marking the spot on the screen to click for a restart, so Linux is working behind the scenes.If I start in recovery mode with basic graphics, I have no problems at all (other than limited functionality). If I start the old 2.6.31-22 kernel, I see a bunch of "unmountable" errors in the startup script, but I can use Linux normally with no apparent problems. I'm running an IBM ThinkPad A30 with ATI Mobility graphics. Just to reiterate, the screen looks fine until I log in, at which point it goes bonkers. I've tried lowering the resolution, to no avail. I'm not running any proprietary drivers. What do I need to change in order to fix this?

I am having problems with Thunderbird in Ubuntu Lucid. I am not sure since when. It could have been since I upgraded to Lucid from Karmic. When I open Thunderbird, a message pops up that is supposed to ask me for the password. However, it is all blank inside and doesn't display the text. I found that after I click on ALT+TAB a few times, the message displays correctly. This is very strange. Is anyone else having (or had) the same problem? Does anyone have an idea for a fix?I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but it didn't work out (I didn't "purge" though).

I have a LAMP installation for learning php and mysql. My online trainer pointed out that we always get a white screen when the php is wrong, when we should get error messages that say which line in the code is wrong etc.
I recently reinstalled mysql so it is the latest version from the repositories for Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.
Is there a way to make error messages show up?

I untared a few libs on the wrong server (that's the when you're supposed to start laughing!) and I corrupted my server. Everytime it boots up, I get the following error:
/sbin/init: relocation error: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_out_of_memory, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference. Kernel panic - not syncing. Attempted to kill init!
I can I restore the original libs? I'm running RHEL 2.6.9-42 on a Proliant DL585.

I had a problem with my OpenSUSE with Tumbleweed repository enabled that required me to do a hard power off of my ASUS N61JV-X2 notebook PC. I had Evolution running at the time. When I did a cold boot of my laptop and I ran Evolution again, it does not display my e-mail messages anymore. In fact, I had to install Mozilla Thunderbird with the Enigmail extension so that I can read and write e-mail messages.
How do I fix Evolution so that it will retrieve and display my e-mail messages and I can write new ones using this software package?

I would like to have Icedove display the number of unread messages in the task/window bar when both active or minimized; note I am not interested in a system tray solution just yet. There must be a hack to do this right? Would it involve recompiling Icedove?

is there any way to disable kernel messages on the console? The problem I have is that it is almost impossible to work on the console due to a flood of file system errors from the kernel.
I've checked /etc/syslog.conf and disabled kernel logging to the console. Even with syslog turned off the messages still flood the console.

Is there a way I can redirect messages from kernel ringbuffer to a logfile, e.g. with rsyslogd? With redirect I mean that the messages do no longer appear in dmesg, but only in the logfile.
In my case that should be iptables log messages.

I need to debug a kernel panic. It prints some long log to the console, but even if i set 1920x1440 VESA framebuffer mode, i can't see it whole.
So, i would like to direct all the kernel messages to a COM port and read them on another machine. Is there any way of doing so? What are the other (maybe better/easier/etc.) ways of catching whole kernel panic messages or scrolling the ones already displayed?

A directory on my desktop has recently become inaccessible. The error message that is given when I attempt to open the directory is as follows: Could not display "nikki stuff", The file is of unknown type. I brought up a terminal and did an ls -l on the directory, which produced the following: -rwxrwxrwx 1 nikki nikki 314 2010-07-26 19:16 nikkis%20stuff.desktop Unfortunately, the computer is not mine, so I do not know much more about how this happened.

When my computer shuts down, I always get a long error message from the kernel. It's the very last thing the computer does and I can't even use the keyboard, since the system is halted. I wanted to read it more carefully (it's very long and doesn't fit the screen) and file a bug report against the kernel with it. But for that, I needed to save all that text in a file.

I have an OLED screen on my laptop that I have configured to show status information. The current driver I have installed in Linux for it is able to display messages by sending them to a script as an argument separated by spaces.Example: the command /opt/asusg50oled/utils/notify.sh Hi Everybody "Hello World" displays on the oled screen:
Hi
Everybody
Hello World
If another message is sent before the old ones disappear and it reverts to status info, it pushes off the top message. Example: less than 30 seconds after the previous example, /opt/asusg50oled/utils/notify.sh "Bananas have potassium" is executed:
Everybody
Hello World
Bananas have potassium
What I want to do is have kernel messages (the kind you see by running dmesg) forwarded to this script. For example, when I insert a USB drive, the following information would show on the OLED screen as they're logged:........

I am using latest updated Fedora 13 (presently kernel-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686).
kernel imklog error messages fills my hard disk again and again, /var/log/messages file becomes more than 5Gb daily.
the /var/log/messages file contains following entries:
Sep 27 10:35:09 arun kernel: imklog 4.4.2, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Sep 27 10:35:09 arun rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.4.2" x-pid="1083" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] (re)start
Sep 27 10:35:09 arun atd[19007]: File a0000b0145c567 is in wrong format - aborting
[Code]....
I think, I can stop kernel logging from /etc/rsyslog.conf, but I wanted to know the real problem.

What i'm trying to accomplish seems rather silly but is needed for my little project here.
I'm using OpenSuSE 11.2 as a media center PC and need it to login automatically(console not X). That one i accomplished without problems.
However, after login i can see all the info about the services that were started and that needs to "go away".
One could do a "clear" in the .bash_rc and or .bash_profile but it will still show the login prompt which i don't want to see either (i don't even want to see the blinking cursor as well).
Question: How do i accomplish that so that the login console shows only the "splash screen" without any output of the kernel,rc.status nor the "issue-file"... just a plain blank screen ?

Being an Ubuntu enthousiast (both professionally as well as at home), I upgraded my home server from 9.10 to 10.04 yesterday. It runs kvm with only 1 vm. Host and vm we're both ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I upgraded both to 10.04. So far so good. Also did reboots to load the new kernel image.
For data storage I have a large (6,35TB) XFS partition. This partition is exported to the vm as a block device (vdb). This morning I noticed the vm has crashed. The XFS partition (mounted as /home) was shut down. Is this just bad luck? Or is it 10.04?
Code:
May 4 08:00:18 fileplanet kernel: [68558.681584] ffff8800241c8000: 58 41 47 46 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 02 0f ff ff ff XAGF............
May 4 08:00:18 fileplanet kernel: [68558.754806] Filesystem "vdb": XFS internal error xfs_btree_check_sblock at line 124 of file /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/fs/xfs/xfs_btree.c. Caller 0xffffffffa009dcc4
[Code]....
I tried booting with an older (2.6.31) kernel, but didn't help. Can I safely run xfs_repair without causing any more damage?
All disks in this system are attached to an Areca hardware raid controller configured in Raid5 and has been operating for months now without any problem.

Tried complete deleting (including cache) and reinstalling the package.force fskchk , restarted = nothing.Error checked the harddrive = nothingfrustrated as this is only the latest error in a series of problems ive been having with ubuntu on this build.
