Ubuntu Installation :: Switch From ACPI To APM On 10.10?
Dec 4, 2010
I've installed 10.10 on a laptop and everything is working except for suspend. The laptop will go into suspend, but will not wake up. I have to hard reboot to recover. From my research it appears to have something to do with ACPI and I would like to switch to APM. However all the instructions I found for doing this seem to apply to older versions of Ubuntu before the switch to Grub2 so there is no menu.lst file to make changes to. So I'm looking to understand how to switch to APM in 10.10?

When I run OpenSUSE from the Live CD using normal settings, booting stops with a blank screen a moment after the kernel is loaded. When running it with ACPI disabled, it works, but direct rendering is disabled, even though it detects my video card (Mobility Radeon HD 5650) correctly Here's the Xorg.0.log file: my xorg log - [URL]

I have random X freezes (suddenly keyboard and mouse stop to react). Xorg.O.log is error and warnings free. The only problems I see in syslog/ dmesg are related to ACPI.
I have Asus P5E3 Deluxe motherboard. Slackware 13.1
Linux vareg 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I ahve also today upgraded my BIOS to 1303 version. Still no difference.

I have tested just now if my small compaq 110 will work with ubuntu 10.04.1, it works from the life CD, but it needs the acpi=off to be set.
Whe I install it from that CD, where do I have to set the acpi=off before I reboot? (the ubuntu will not boot otherwise)

I'm a total Linux newb, and I seem to have got the wrong laptop for that. An L505D-GS6000. Apparently, it's hard to install linux on it unless you do some things (it stops with a bunch of ACPI errors. I found a solution, but I have no idea how to do it.
To summarize:
for L505D GS6000
Install 10.4
Boot with pci=noacpi
Run HexOr's script found here: [URL]
Get wifi drivers from here [URL]
I have 10.4 working on my Toshiba Satellite L505D GS6000, with everything fine, power controls, trackpad, wifi now." How do I boot with pci=noacpi? How do I run a script?

I just tried to install CentOS 5.4 on my notebook (HP G42-214BR), I use Windows 7 at the moment.
On the first time I got W7 installed at C: and couldn't istall centos on it. Before trying again I went to Windows and free something like 40GB from C:, but the disc where C: is went from basic to a dynamic disc.
After that I tried to install, and got some errors like:
And the final row was like:
And the installation don't go any further than this. What is going wrong?

Ever since I started to tinker with GNU/Linux on my machine, ACPI has been a thorn in my side.
I can't find any BIOS updates or DSDTs for my laptop, either.
The only distro I've ever gotten to boot without acpi=off is Fedora 20 with the 3.11 kernel and nohz=off parameter. Which leads me to believe a change in the kernel after 3.11 is to blame.
Anyways, I have installed wheezy 7.8 XFCE with LVM encrypted, but alas I am stuck booting with the ACPI=off parameter.
The installation CD booted perfectly, with my wireless card working (an indication of ACPI functioning) as well.
This leads me to believe that it is possible to have a stable wheezy install on this machine.
The install disc used the parameters: video=vesa :ywrap,mtrr and vga=788.
I tried these, but the boot hanged after "switching to clocksource: acpi_pm".
How I could track down the problem with ACPI on my machine?

I have tried both DVD and CD (both are MD5-checked) of both Lenny 5.0.8 and Squeeze RC on my HP DV7-3074CA. (a.k.a 3085DX)When I choose a graphic install, it just hangs after loading the initial files.When I choose the normal install, It gives the following error:
[1.383207] ACPI: EC: Input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction.
Is there a boot command I can input to override this? I tried removing the battery slot, but the only difference is that that message does not appear, but the setup hangs anyway.
UPDATING:Tried "pci=noacpi" but that did lead to a kernel panic.[1.547564] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Can the fibre channel switch in the centOS5.3 cluster edition be switched for a regular router or hub?
If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?

I'm a Linux n00b and installed the 10.04 rc of Kubuntu on a second partition as a dual boot with XP.
Now I'm thinking I would rather have Ubuntu. What is the best way to switch over?

I recently installed Ubuntu yesterday and finally got all the settings right so that it would run rather decently on my computer. I have rather limited RAM resource, 192MB to be exact and i would have preferred to have installed Xubuntu from the start, but kept getting errors when using Wubi in Windows XP.
So here i am, with Ubuntu 10.04, wanting to upgrade to Xubuntu 10.10....but not knowing what to do. I'm currently installing the desktop environment for Xubuntu via the Software Manager but I'm not sure if this is what I'm supposed to do..

I want to switch from Windows 7 (32-bit) to Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit), but I can't install it on my PC for some reason. I've tried burning the .iso onto 2 or 3 different DVD+ROM discs now, I keep getting the following message when I try to install it.
Message: BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
Edit: I got it to work, I'm not sure if this actually made any difference, but I formatted my hard drive using my Windows 7 installation DVD before trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. But it worked fine after that and I'm now running it on my PC without any problems (at the moment).

Due to wireless driver issues, I may have to switch from x86_64 Ubuntu to x86. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to reinstall everything?

I'm installing XUBUNTU on an old Pentium 4 1.6 GHz machine with 256 MB memory. The Copy files progress reach nearly 90% and remained there for more than 15 minutes. I did a CTRL+ALT+F1 on the keyboard and I could see a terminal with ubuntu$. I now want to go back to the GUI interface to see where the progress is or to see any completion message. How do I do that?

I'm trying to install 10.10 to my home desktop that has Win xp. I have one ide hd with only windos on it and I have a sata hd partitioned logically for linux. The sata controller is a via chip on an old Abit mobo. The live cd works great but when I run the install and get to the partitioning, my sata disk becomes sda instead of sdb. From the live cd, gparted shows the sata as sdb. From live, "cat /proc/partitions" shows the sata disk as sdb. But during install gparted shows it as sda. The install will go on the correct drive, but I'm not sure where to put grub2. On another distro install, I left it at mbr, and it went to the sata mbr. Should I just install grub to the ide disk which will become my "sda" at boot? Will grub find ubuntu on the sata disk, which will become sdb?

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using Wubi and I am very very happy with it. I want to get rid of Wubi and just have a normal Ubuntu installation. Do I need to do a clean install or is there anyway to switch from wubi to native install. Or backup all my settings and installed apps and import them to a clean install?

Login as myself, girlfriend wants to use her login to check something, all good.I switch back to myself, I get a black screen with just my cursor. Most annoying. I have to ctrl-alt-f1 to reboot. I've tried killing various process from the term, but nada. I've also tried uninstalling gnome-screensaver as was mentioned in another thread when I searched, but no joy there so far.

I recently bought an asus eee-PC 900HD set up by its previous owner to to boot to either ubuntu 10.10 or windows xp.how can I get rid of xp and install vista in its place? As a side-note; the eee-PC has no optical drive. It has USB ports and an SD card reader. Is it possible to install windows through one of these? I do have an old laptop optical drive I've been meaning to house in a USB enclosure. Is the cd/dvd route my only option?

I am switching to Ubuntu soon for security purposes. I have 3 hard drives, one with my OS, one with nothing, and one with all my junk. I was wondering if there is anyway that I can only reformat and install Ubuntu onto the drive with windows, reformat the empty drive, and then transfer files from my junk drive onto the empty drive, and then format the junk drive and move all of the files back onto the junk drive? Or is the junk drive accessible from Ubuntu and not worth trying to switch formats on?

I have to use acpi=off because my PC is crushing/freezing during installation and 2 mins after boot up. Currently I'm using acpi=ht to enable second CPU.
The problem is that my Intel graphic card is slow and Xorg is taking a lot of CPU.
I'm also not able to enable compiz when disabling acpi. The biggest problem is the MythTV that is so slow in the menu area alone that I'm not watching any TV in it lately.
When I'm not, it's crushing, no CPU spikes, no strange behavior just crushing without any logs.
Ubuntu 8.10 was running well on the box.

I installed Powertop after reading a number of threads of threads about power consumption issues in Lucid. Though it would be good to know what I was doing. But when I run Powertop it tells me "now ACPI power usage estimate available".

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (it's discontinued, I know) in an ASUS laptop. I'd had to turn ACPI off, otherwise, it would not start. I could update the BIOS, to correct this problem, but on this laptop that's not doable. Without ACPI, sound is turned off too (which is a pity). If I update to the latest Ubuntu, will this problem persist?

The idea is that I got to grips with Linux a couple of times in the past; most recently in a Radio Astronomy class (where we had to use openSUSE and terminals 24/7). I loved it so much that I fired up Wubi on my laptop and I am having a play.
Then I loved it even more.
So here's the plan:
Find Windows (Vista) CD *sigh*
Get 500 GB external Hard Drive
Backup files to HD (60 GB max)
Reformat Laptop & Reinstall Windows
====
To my understanding, this gives me a blank slate with a lot of room to play with because of the external HD. If this is not possible/too risky etc. then what are the best alternatives?
The plan is to make my primary OS Ubuntu. The way I figured, to keep things simple, is to keep the laptop's HD with Windows as 'normal'. I would thus install Ubuntu to the external HD, and put my files etc. on that.
Now, is that possible for a clean installation? Ideally, it would be fantastic if the boot can be configured so it would boot Ubuntu if the HD is connected, and Windows if not.
