View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Kubuntu V9.1 Fails To Boot After Fresh Install And Display Anomalies At The Desktop
Mar 22, 2010The last version a Linux I had was Mandrake v9.1. However, in looking to get the latest/greatest Linux I downloaded Ubuntu and Kubuntu. After installing Kubuntu the system reboots and fails to boot into the OS. After the P.O.S.T all I get a the word "GRUB". There is no response to any keys with the exception of Ctrl-Alt-Del. I am temporarily able to get passed the boot problem if I boot from the CD and choose boot from primary hard menu option. I'm not sure how to fix the boot up problem and could use some advice. However, using the CD to boot up the hard drives installation leads me to my next problem.
While in a desktop session I am unable to drag windows by their title bar. When attempting to drag a window, the desktop becomes covered with parts of the original window spreading all over the screen in multiple directions. It looks like a kaleidoscope or bad acid trip image. I suspect the video anomalies might be configuration related or improper driver. Again guidance would be greatly appreciated here.
I have a good 'ole Matrox MGA Millenium card installed into a P4 1.8ghz system, with 512 MB ram. The hard drive originally had an old install of Mandrake v9.1, but all of the partitions were wiped and I created 3 new partitions:
- /dev/sda1 20GB Bootable/Primary Partition EXT4 (Unbuntu mounted at /)
- /dev/sda2 18GB Primary EXT4 (Kubuntu mounted at /mnt/Ubuntu_dsktop_91)
- /dev/sda3 2GB Swap space
My intent was to install Ubuntu on the 2nd primary partition and be able to switch between them. However, I tried installed Ubuntu on the first partition (reformatted of course) and I encounter the same boot problem and display problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Windows Screwed Up LVM
Sep 1, 2011I have 2x 2TB drives for data storage in my system. I placed both drives in a volume group and made 1 big 4TB partition on it. I made it ext4 and mounted it in my Ubuntu Server environment and used it for a while without any problems. Just now I wanted to work a little with Windows 7 and I installed it on a separate hard drive (a 500GB one). This went fine but the (f***ing!) Windows 7 installer automatically made a 100MB system reserved partition on one of the 2TB drives (because the freaking MS OS saw them as unallocated space). That basically scewed up the volume group.
Running vgchange -ay gives an error that device with UUID (..) couln't be found. Running vgchange -ay --partial works and activates my volume group as read only. When I try to mount my logical volume inside that volume group mount gives the error that I need to specify the file system. When I do so with mount -t ext4 it returns the error that it's the wrong file system. Is there a way for me to fully restore my volume group? Or a way to mount what's left of it so that I can backup as much data as possible?
Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 9.10 Xrandr Can't Open Display And Low Resolution?
Feb 25, 2010I just installed Kubuntu on my computer running win xp. I have had problems with the resolution because it only lets me set it at 800x600. I have read many of the post here and most of them tell your to use xrandr or xorg config. When i run the xrandr iI end up with a message saying can't open display and also when i try the xorg confing. I installed kubuntu using wubi.

Feb 26, 2011I have an Apple iBook (ancient I know) and whenever I boot from the Live CD (Kubuntu 10.10) it boots up in 800x600 (as far as I can tell that's what it is). This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.
When I go to display settings it won't let me change to a higher resolution (1024x768 is what the iBook natively runs at).
This is an iBook G3.
Ubuntu Installation :: SUSE Screwed Up GRUB
Mar 19, 2010I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and working great. I wanted to check out SUSE because i heard it was better for laptops and wanted to test it out. Went through the install, which was a bit more complicated partition wise than I'd like, asking the begin and end segment shell or something. I changed them to give me a 5GB partition, deleted an old partition of gNewSense (wireless was just too difficult to implement ie. work) and tada... stuff broke. gNewSense still shows up in SUSE's "GRUB" but I can't boot to it. When I threw in my 9.10 cd to fix everything, it showed that 9.10 was still installed and gNewSense was not.
So, how can I fix this. Is there a way to just reinstall the 9.10 GRUB for the Ubuntu I already have installed? The sooner the better, Ubuntu was my primary OS and all my stuff is on it! FYI, do not recommend SUSE as far as installation goes

Nov 20, 2010I am a serious newbie when it comes to Linux. I bought an Emprex BNB-1021 mini notebook which came with Ubuntu 8.04 preinstalled. Since that's a relatively old distro, I figured I'd upgrade to 10.04. I downloaded the upgrade and installed it, and right at the end of the process I got an error (I don't recall exactly what it said, but I think the gist was that the installation failed). Anyway, now Ubuntu won't boot. The boot aborts and I get dumped into BusyBox. Here's the output of the screen:

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Running Slower - Graphics Screwed Up
Apr 24, 2011I just reinstalled my OS (Ubuntu 10.04) and on a new and faster drive than before. And now it's running slower! I was an IDE drive before and not it's SATA and at higher RPM's. The first thing I noticed was that my game, "Armagetron" was not the same. The graphics are really screwed up in it. It looks like a diff version altogether! And I can't find any other versions. Also the controls were different! I have never had to change the controls before. This is what it use to look like before the format: [URL]. This is what it looks like now: Then I played some other games just to see and test. They don't look different but they definitely LAG.....
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Save Display Settings In Kubuntu 10.4?
May 16, 2010When I change the display resolution and refresh rate in system settings, those values will be reset to default every time I restart the computer. Is there a way to save the values, so that I don't have to change them again every time? I use Kubuntu 10.4. Another problem I have is that when I choose Leave / Sleep (Suspend to RAM), the computer will sometimes be locked, so that it never wakes up again. I can hear when this occurs, because then the cooling fan(s) will stay on. Normally, when Sleep works, the fans are turned off, because the computer goes into energy saving mode. i noticed the occasional sleep problem already in Kubuntu 9.10.

Installation :: Manual GRUB Install For Screwed Up Luit Install
Apr 16, 2010So I am stuck in the bootloader hell. With a vintage PC
Ok, so here's the setup:There is one HDD, with two primary partitions: 1st for the system, 2nd for the swap. I booted Luit Linux Live CD, and ran it's HDD install script. The Luit Linux is based on Damn Small Linux that uses kernel version 2.4.22. For some reason, it's bootloader LILO install did something wrong and the fresh install wouldn't boot
Error 15 By the way, I don't understand why the bootloader texts refer to GRUB, while the install script definitely was installing LILO.
I can now boot again with that same Live CD (or any other CD that would boot to Linux), and once loaded, mount the hard disk and check and update it's contents. I'd like to install there as up-to-date GRUB version what that ancient hardware (48MB RAM) can take, and then configure the GRUB to load that install that's sitting on the hdd.I will be very grateful for any advice. Unfortunately my knowledge of things like GRUB is very poor, so it's difficult to look up advice by searching the internet.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.04 Ok But 10.04 Hangs On Toshiba Sat M200
Aug 23, 2010I should also say that I am a Hardware person primarily, and while I have had a little bit of a 'play' with ubuntu in the past, I am still very much a begginer, so please try to keep suggestions to a noob level of instruction.
I have a little Toshiba Satellite M200 which came with VISTA (ugggh!) Needless to say Vista has fallen over its own huge feet and landed in a scrambled pile. I have mnaged to copy off all data I needed, and then tossed up between XP or Ubuntu for the re-install. I decided to go with Ubuntu to try and get used to it on a single machine before (hopefully) changing over the rest of the computers here to eventually be M$ free.
I booted the M200 from a Live-CD of 9.04 which I already had from a while back and it ran fine. Ok, looks good so far. I then checked for the latest version and downloaded/burned the live-cd of 10.04 which also ran fine on the M200 when I booted it. I istalled 10.04 from the live-cd but after the initial reboot (and all boot attempts since then) the computer hung while still loading (before it reached the GUI) and had a corrupted screen, lines, coloured blocks etc.....
I wiped 10.04 and installed 9.04 instead just to get it up and running. The 9.04 install went fine, it rebooted and still worked so I did all the updates it wanted to, then rebooted, everything was still fine. After the reboot it offered to upgrade to 9.10, so I did that, then rebooted. It all seemed fine while booting, and made it all the way into the GUI, but now the touchpad no longer worked. I plugged in a USB mouse and that worked, but I could find no way to get the touchpad working again. In the end I blew-away 9.10 and again reinstalled 9.04 and did the updates, but stopped before upgrading to 9.10.
This is the state of the M200 at this stage, running stable on 9.04, although the wireless network sems to keep dropping out for some reason and not reconnecting.
I would like to try to get 10.04 up and running as I really like the look of it (love the loading screen), the new communications arrangement for IMs etc, and seriously, whats the point of installing an older version of an OS when you actually prefer the latest one?
why 10.4 would run fine from the live-cd but fall over when its installed? I was thinking it could be display drivers or something, that only get configured and set up on a full installation, but I have no idea how to work around this.
On a side note, I booted a desktop from the 10.04 disk and it all seems happy except that it wont go above 800x600 screen res, would this be solved with a full installation where it can then set up display drivers properly etc?
Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Install On Toshiba NB255
Jan 19, 2011I have a Toshiba netbook NB 255. As you know there is no CD drive so I have to boot from a usb flash drive. I follow all of the instructions on the Ubuntu web site to get the .iso onto the flash drive using pendrivelinux.com and the universal usb installer. However for some reason whenever I try to boot from any usb drive on my netbook I am getting an error saying "graphics initialization failed Error in setting up gfxboot" and on the next line down it says "boot:" and the flashing cursor. I consider myself a generally tech savvy person but this is a problem that I have never encountered.
I really prefer Ubuntu on my netbook rather than whatever garbage windows version the manufacturer put on the netbook.

Jul 2, 2010I am doing a clean install of 10.04 from 9.10. The live CD quits soon after the Ubuntu logo appears....the screen displays a few color bars in the center and then goes blank with no drive (CD) activity. I suspect the video card is the problem but I don't know what (if anything can be done) Here is what I have tried so far: Up dated the Bios to the current version.
Tried the alternate CD - loads fine through out the entire installation BUT on reboot, the load only gets as far as the live CD did. I have tried all the options under F6 with no improvement. I have re-installed 9.10 from a live CD, work perfectly.
I have NOT tried an upgrade from 9.10, but I suspect this would not make any improvement. So, I suspect the video card is not compatible with 10.04 (intel stuff) there is no information on the Toshiba web site.
