Ubuntu Installation :: System Won't Mount After Crash?

May 2, 2011

After my computer crashed due to an electrical failure in the house, every time I try to boot up (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) I get the following error:

mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc/ failed: No such file or directory Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

I'm then put into initramfs

I assume that this is because the system wasn't unmounted properly but I haven't been able to find the best way to solve this problem.

Ubuntu Installation :: Broken System After Crash During 9.10 To 10.04 / Get This Fixed?

May 1, 2010

As the title says, i was in the middle of the upgrade, when the system froze then a black screen with the text similar to: starting apache ..... starting ..... ... in that way, but with more text, i could not remember the exact details. When i boot up, it say /dev not found, and other errors, and a weird black screen that seems to be loading modules appears, but never finishes and starts to act strange. Any way i can get this fixed without just copying my data and reimaging my partition.

Ubuntu Installation :: System Crash After Partial Upgrade 10.10?

Apr 7, 2011

I have a Dell studio running ubuntu for two years now. I had ubuntu 10.04, but a few days ago, the update manager started to bug me that some stuff don't work properly and that I need to to a partial upgrade. I postponed that for a while, and all worked fine, but I finally had sometime and clicked "yes", all began collapsing:

1) the update manager crashed while updating.

2) I rebooted and ran it again. same crash at the same stage.

3) I decided, god knows why, to do a full upgrade to 10.10, which also crasehd.

Now it won't even boot. It always get stuck at a line saying "no IPv6 routers present" or something of that sort. when I switch off manually the wireless switch on the laptop, the boot gets stuck a bit earlier, on a line that says: "laptop login:"

EDIT: I just remembered something which might be important: I had a hibernation problem on the upgrade to 10.04, so I played around a bit with that. now it uses libgcrypt, and I remember I set up something manually then, but I can't remember what.

Ubuntu Installation :: Crash During 10.04 Install Left System Unbootable

Jun 6, 2010

My son kicked out power during the install phase of 10.04 (about half complete) and now the system is unbootable.

The boot process dies shortly after starting fsck with the error:

init: plymouth main process (382) killed by SEGV signal

So this looks bad (to me), segmentation violations are never good.

So does anyone have any suggestions for booting and completing the upgrade?

If I'm SOL on this OS image is there a way to image over the OS and save my data?

The only option I see now is to buy a new disk, image onto it, mount my current disk and copy my data. (takes money and time)

Ubuntu Installation :: System-crash While Installing Textlive-fonts-extra

Jan 2, 2010

I was multitab browsing (around 15 tabs) in latest firefox for karmic koala (9.10) and at the same time downloading (probably already auto-installing) in synaptic-package-manager the package: textlive-fonts-extra (and other necessary packages; this was around 90 mb download and 250 mb installation)suddenly the pointer doesn't move anymore, (Alt+tab , and other combinations also didn't work anymore)
and I hold the power button untill the computer is turned off,when I reboot I get this message"invalid system disk, replace it and press any key to continue"now I'm using a livedisc to boot the computer (jaunty 9.04)To rebuild the system i think to manually install the packages that probably were interupted while installing and made it not work anymoreThe packages to be installed when text-live-fonts is marked for install (in synaptic opened from the livedisc) are:

dvipdfmx
lmodern
text-common
texlive-base
texlive-base-bin

[code]...

This may be different with 9.10 configuration (can anybody look to see which are necessary with 9.10) I think the computer wasn't responding anymore because I used too many tabs at ones. I had this same problem a few times before in the past weeks but then I wasn't installing something and the computer did restart and firefox restored all the tabs. I cannot enter /home/ from the livedisc (no permission) and it's necessary , I am in the middle of exams and i need to print the paper that is on the disc by monday Is there a way to enter it via command console?

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Nvidia Driver Install Causes System Reboot Crash

Nov 3, 2010

This was my first experience with Ubuntu, I was told to switch the hard drives on my computer and put the Windows drive in a safe place for the install. The first time I did the install on the hard drive (which was the clean second hard drive that came with my computer), I either didn't realize I believe I didn't realize I had to click a button and thought the install had gotten stuck, and therefore cut off the install midway through. The second time around the install went without a hitch, and I was able to boot to desktop once. There, I was notified that I needed/should install NVIDIA drivers, I believe version 173 was listed as the next most recent drives (the other was "current"), I have an NVIDIA GeForce 7350LE graphics card, and after installing the drivers, I went to the restart menu as directed and clicked restart, not shut down but restart, and there were several listed errors on the text/DOS screen, shutdown errors I believe (the errors were 5 digits and were something like 56759 or something like that, I can't be certain if I'm remembering right, though, but there were two errors going over again). I then proceeded to turn off the computer manually, and upon it coming on again, instead of the normal Ubuntu flash screen before login, a more choppy Ubuntu 10.10 screen popped up and it led me to the DOS mode, where I was able to login, but it did me no good because I don't know command logic for Ubuntu. The best I did (its the best I ever do when these things happen) is get menus to pop up that are basically useless. I turned the computer off and on again three times, and tried booting directly from disk, but that failed.

I'm actually using the same computer I just reinserted the Windows drive back in after the frustrating experience. Windows has been giving me problems itself, and I really wanted to switch to Ubuntu but I need to know that this is a fluke and not the norm. I can live with this sort of thing being so uncommon I must have did something that was very strange and out of the ordinary to my computer. But if its commonplace, I want to know that too, because that's just something I can't live with.

Fedora Installation :: LiveCD-system Crash At Partition Step?

Jun 5, 2011

I run ubuntu, 2 partion, one primary for / , one for /home and ofc swap.When I run the Livecd, at the partition step I do:

-Custom

-Select my / partition to install

-When I select next I get the error "blah blah, must be probably a bug...." and system crashes.

After system crach I can't boot into Ubuntu or anything, it gets me on the "error 11 ( think is 11 ) grub> " screen.Also, I think its something with my nouveau drivers, I think i get an error when boots the LiveCD something like "fudc...". It happens really fast and I can't read it properly.I did this procedure twice to write the errors, but it happens too fast to check them out. Also, is there a way to prepare the system before installing the Fedora, to avoid these errors?

Ubuntu Installation :: Mount NTFS File System In Wine?

May 4, 2010

Trying to mount my NTFS file system (portable hard drive) so that is can be recognized by a program I have installed in wine (seagate manager). I've tried to change the mount point for the drive to /home/.wine/c_drive but that doesn't seem to do the trick, and messing around with the fstab file just results in error messages when I try to mount/unmount the drive.

who to change the mount point properly? /dev/sbd1 is my partition.

Either that or does anyone know how to configure wine so that it will find my drive? I've tried adding an e: drive to the drives tab and mapped it to mediaSimons' Seagate (partition label), but that doesn't seem to do the trick either.

Ubuntu Installation :: Assigning / Tmp And To Mount On File System / Not In Root

Nov 26, 2010

I am pondering a reinstall of a freshly installed Ubuntu; I may or may not take that drastic step.However, I have partitioned my drive to include a 16-GB partition labelled "Ubuntu-tmp", in my case /dev/sda7, with the intent of mounting that file system as /tmp. Depending on how I decide to go about the reinstall I need an answer to these questions:If I reinstall: Is it possible to designate /dev/sda7 to mount as /tmp during the installation process?If I cannot designate the mounts at install time, or if I opt not to reinstall: I can't really empty the /tmp directory in the root in order to properly use it as a mount point for [the file system on] /dev/sda7; many files in there are still in use by running processes. So how can I clear the /-mounted /tmp directory and assign it to /dev/sda7?

I have attached a screen shot of gparted to illustrate my layout scheme.The gparted manual suggests I select the partition, click [Partition]->[Mount]. Of course, my gparted drops a menu with [Mount] is absent and an [Unmount] option is greyed out.This raises a question of how I am going to mount /users and /var in their intended file systems (/dev/sda8 and /dev/sda9, respectively), because the [partition] menu looks the same for these partitions as well.

if my PC lags a bit it crashes!But I wouldn't think it would be an ordinary crash.Earlier today I installed Xubuntu 10.04onto my PC. Well, The installation was smooth and I was able to get it installed. Then all of a sudden when I was looking aroundmy PC got caught in a little lag.. And when it lagged this black screen came up and it said

"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] "
"Checking Battery State [ OK ] "

Then That screen disappears and these Straight gray bars come up and they cover the top of my screenAnd they just blink! I figured it might be a glitch so I went to go eat dinner.About 20-30 minutes later I come back and there still blinking.I tryed rebooting the system and trying again and it got cought in a little lag and the

"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] "
"Checking Battery State [ OK ] "

Came back up and it disappeared again and the bars came back!I tried reinstalling Xubuntu 10.04 but it came out the same result.I tried updating the system cause when I installed it it said I had 164 updates waiting.

OpenSUSE Network :: Nfs Server On 11.2 - Mount.nfs: Mount System Call Failed

Apr 29, 2010

I've tried to get an opensuse box I have to share a directory via NFS. I've failed each time, but I thought that the third time, I'd enlist some help from the forums, if I could. how do I know that the nfs server and not the client is the problem? Short answer is: I don't! That's why nfs (and many netwrk problems) are laborious, you're troubleshooting needs to take place at both source and desitination. Next question, what do I have set up so far? Well, I did download the nfs server kernel stuff (two months back) and /etc/init.d/nfsserver start seems to get set up OK. No errors and the daemons nfsd, idmapd, mountd area all running. So, I *think* that part is OK. I have the share set up properly in /etc/exportfs and have "exportfs -r" it.

OK, now onto the trickier stuff: the client and iptables. On the client pinging to the nfserver box is perfect, and I have rpcbind running. the reported error is "mount.nfs: mount system call failed" though from experience nfs errors don't mean a whole lot.However, I will go off and check now and see if I need a mountd running on client-side too.Then there's iptables .... ouch, that could be a long and painful trek. I don't see any specific ports being blocked, and it's the iptables that the default v11.2 opensuse came with. I did turn them off and the problem was the same, so whether wishfl thinking or not, I'm hoping it's not an iptables issue.

Ubuntu :: System Crash While Booting Up For Second Time?

Feb 3, 2010

System specs:
Compaq presario 430-EB
4 GIG RAM
320 GIG storage
AMD athlon dual core x64 2.1 mghz processor
Nvidia 8200 M

I recently decided to partition my laptop wholly to ubuntu, so i installed ubuntu without any problem, then i logged on for the first time and i installed the driver to my monitor (nvidia) and i did sudo apt-get update which made me get all sorts of updates, untill the updating stopped at about halfway asking me to reboot the system.

I rebooted the system, but no matter what i do, if i run it in recovery mode or not, i always get stuck on this piece of code on a black screen:

Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda1: clean, 148123/18841600 files, 1880615/75358899 blocks

init: udevtrigger post-stop process (541) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (539) killed by TERM signal
init: networking main process (544) terminated with status 1

Also, please no answers like "hav u tried liek reinstalling ubuntu lolz?" because i wouldn't bother posting this thread if i considered doing that -_-'

Ubuntu :: 2.6.35-23 Random System Freeze / Crash - Fix It?

Nov 29, 2010

I seem to be having a problem on the new Kernel (2.6.35-23) with the system randomly freezing.

I have installed a number of things in recent days leading up to this problem, but when i boot with the old kernel i don't seem to have any issues. From this i am guessing its the new kernel.

The freezing seems (although i am not sure) to be worse when Rhythmbox is running. When it happens everything freezes, the playing song skips, replaying the same one second of music over and over. All the hotkeys stop and the mouse cursor stops responding.

I have seen people talking about system logs to look at system crashes but i don't know how to show those. I also doubt my ability to interpret them.

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Diagnose System Crash

Apr 17, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) on an Intel Atom 525 motherboard. I have a 5-bay SATA enclosure connected to my system through a Syba SD-SATA2-2E2I PCI card (uses the SIL3124 chipset). Under small to moderate load (transfer speed: ~25 Mb/sec), this setup works perfectly. Under heavy load (transfer speed: ~40 - 70 Mb/sec), the system crashes. By crash I mean I loose SSH connectivity, I can't ping the system, etc. The only solution is a hard reset. Initially, I thought this was a SAMBA problem so I logged into the system and tried doing a copy directly from the SATA enclosure to the system disk (connected directly to the motherboard). After 100 GB copied (at ~75 Mb/sec), the system crashed. My question: I am fairly new to Linux and Ubuntu. How would I go about diagnosing this problem?

Ubuntu Networking :: System Crash When Wireless Connects?

I've recently installed release 11.04 and am trying to get wireless networking operational. I'm using a netgear wg111t usb wireless adapter. I've installed ndiswrapper and have got the netgear windows drivers installed ok. My problem is when I try to connect wirelessly I get a system crash, think it tends to be called a kernel panic in linux. The network connection is confirmed and about 5-10 seconds later the crash happens. I've updated the linux kernel to 2.6.39-0-generic but thats not helped.

I can connect with a cable but that is somewhat limiting.
