Ubuntu Installation :: USB Device Has Not Recongnized
Jan 23, 2010
I am running ubuntu 9.04 on a dual boot system. I am trying to use my ONDA MT503HS USB modem with ubuntu as it is my only internet access being stationed over here in Italy.I have installed the linux software that came on cd with the device and the device works when i boot up windows on this computer and on my other computers without problems. I am copying and pasting the lsusb without the device and with the device.It is not showing up on desktop or fdisk or any other place that I can find.
I am currently using fedora 11 kernel 2.6.29 version, i wanted to write device driver for usb to detect my own device. My project is radio with computer. My fm radio get connected to usb port so i need to write h/w interfacing program.
I just (for the first time ever) installed a version of Ubuntu. It is 10.04. I installed off of the Live Disk. I was having a great time until the first time I went to boot into it and I got the message "Error: No such device: "long number" Grub Rescue> "
I'm attempting to install Debian to an NVMe SSD (Samsung 950 Pro), however both Jessie and Stretch images fail to install grub.
Checking the syslog reveals the following error: grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /dev/nvme0n1p5
Further Information: Fast-boot is disabled in the UEFI, and boot mode is set to UEFI only, no CSM. I do not see any option for 'Secure Boot' if it's relevant to the issue.Windows 10 has already been installed, which created several partitions. The ESP/EFI partition appears to be on nvme0n1p2I only created one partition for Debian - / on nvme0n1p5, no separate partitions for /boot, /home etc.
I rebooted my server and out of nowhere the RAID5 array won't assemble. I've tried everything I could think of to reassemble the thing. I fear that the array is ruined, but I can't imagine how. Here are various bits of information: The simplest failure (with and without partition numbers, which have not been needed in the past):
Code:
richard@nas:~$ sudo mdadm --assemble --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sd[bcd] mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0 mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy
I have a netbook with Windows 7 and already have my HDD partitioned. I downloaded UNR 9.10 and saved it to a 1GB USB drive. I set my boot priority to have it boot off of USB prior to the HDD and I save/reboot. Upon boot up I get a message to remove devices and reboot. I tried several different BIOS configurations and cannot get it to recognize the boot file. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this corrected? I would like to have a linux dual boot system especially since I'm taking a linux admin course.
I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 with Ubuntu-desktop installed.I've been using kubuntu for sometime now but i dont know much technical things about it. I have two hard discs (160GB SATA and 80GB PATA).I have just installed Windows XP Professional and then reinstalled grub2 from a live CD. Both OS are on 80GB PATA drive.The Grub menu at boot time has "Windows XP Professional" entry in it. The problem is thatwhen i select that entry, i get an error saying:Quote:Grub:Error:No such device - "a string of letters and numbers"Press any key to continue...When i press any key, it goes back to the grub menu. Kubuntu and Ubuntu work fine.When i go to bios and change my hard disc boot order, grub is bypassed and Windows boots and works good. I dont know much technical things but i think maybe its the problem with Windows entry in grub. (something to do with lines map(hd0,hd1) and map(hd1,hd0) (But i'm nt sure. I just said wat i thought it might be)
I have a machine which was running Windows 7 64bit, the installation was working fine. I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on a separate hard drive. Now, Ubuntu works great, but I try to boot Windows through GRUB (2, BTW) I get the following error:
error: No Such Device 3624fcb624fc7a67
Tried running grub-update, no avail. Also tried running a repair disk with my Windows 7 install disk-also no luck. EDIT: Also, if it helps, I can see both the System Reserved and full Windows partitions in Ubuntu.
I have been using my desktop as a dual boot machine for several months now. The primary hard drive with windows on it died, and since we have been using ubunto 9.10 exclusively, I just removed the dead drive, changed the jumpers on the secondary drive to primary and did a clean install on the drive which presumably formats the disk before installing. When I try to boot from the hard drive i get the following message:
ERROR: no such device 2eb48bcb-7bb4-4080-b04d-fc32dec8c252
I used to have 2 HDDs for ubuntu: 1 x 80GB and 1 x 500GB The 500GB disk was my /home directory and is now used exclusively for Windows 7. I have now moved /home to the 80GB drive and have modified /etc/fstab to point /home to /home rather than /dev/sdb1. However, I cannot boot into ubuntu. I have tried using Super Boot Disk cd-rom but still no joy. I think I need to fix grub and have tried by booting into a Live-CD and following a tutorial I found on the forums but it complains about not being able to find a device.map I guess this has something to do with the fact that the 500GB HDD is now gonoe but am not sure how to resolve this issue. how to recreate this file but the command failed.
I have loaded the Ubuntu 10.04.1 Live CD onto my HP p386i desktop. It loads easily and responds well in the "Try It" mode. I purchased a 16 gb USB Flash drive and did an install from the Live CD. After booting the CD ROM to the window where given a choice to "try" or "install", I inserted my flash drive into the USB port and selected "install". I had my 2 hard drives disconnected. At install point #4 I selected my USB drive and also selected manual partition . The partition displayed as follows:
Partition: /dev/sdf /dev/sdf1 Type: EXT2 Mount at "/" Size=15,300mg Used=33 /dev/sdf2 Type: Swap Size= 718mg Used= 0
I'm trying to create a dual boot with ubuntu 10.10 on my acer laptop with windows 7. I looked at my hard drive and I found out that it has three partitions, one called System Reversed, another one called PQSERVE or something like that (which is a recovery partition since acer laptops dont have a recovery cd), and the third partition is C:.
So I shrunk my C: drive, and created a 44gb partition for ubuntu, and a 6gb swap. I then booted with the ubuntu cd and went into manual partitioning. I selected the 44gb partition as "/", and set the 6gb partition to swap. The problem is at the very bottom of the partition manager, where it says "Device for boot loader installation". I get several choices, and I'm a bit unsure which one to choose.
The choices are as follows: /dev/sda ATA WDC WD5000BEVT-2 (500,1GB) /dev/sda1 Windows Vista (loader) /dev/sda2 Windows 7 (loader) /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6
My first thought was of course why do I have a vista loader? I don't even have vista!
My old Dell Inspiron 9300's CD Rom is no longer working. I've written the files to my 8GB USB device, and attempted to boot from it. Whenever I try, I get this "No boot sector on USB device". I'm also using Mac OS X to make the USB drive.
I have dell laptop running with windows xp and im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 by booting it from a cd. I verified the image I downloaded by comparing the hash and it worked out fine. I wrote the image into a cd and changed the booting priority on the BIOS to boot from the drive. When attempting to boot I get the "No bootable device found strike F1 to retry, F2 for setup or F5 to run onboard diagnostics" message.
I'm trying to install 11.04 onto a custom build pc.I have burned an install CD of the desktop edition and have inserted it into the drive, started up, and tried to run the live version. IT pops up, everything works, Hooray! I go to install it to disk and I follow all the prompts and it needs me to reboot to start. YAY! I click to reboot, remove the CD as requested, and then I get the "No Boot Device Detected!" error message.
I then tried installing straight from the CD and not booting into the live version. I follow all the steps and get a congratulations on installing it and all I need to do it reboot. I remove the CD, reboot, and BANG! the same message. I'm not sure what's up or even where I can get information from because there is no BIOS splash screen or anything to naviagate through.
System Specs: Intel Atom Mobo/Proc (1.66Hz) 8GB Corsair RAM 1 slim optical drive (SATA) 1 2TB Seagate HD (SATA) 1 Case/PSU combination
EDIT1: Currently I am checking the live CD for defects (though it has an internet connection so I'm unsure whether the CD matters).
I have a Epson Stylus SX115 All In One Printer which i connected to ubuntu 9.10 the other day. Upon installation the drivers for the stylus SX 115 were not available, but there were drivers for the stylus SX110 which i then installed. Printing is fine although for some reason even though i connect via usb cable the printer is not detected as a external device. I have to pull out the usb cable without unmounting-what should i do?
I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10, downloaded the iso from the site and burned it on a CD, but when I boot from my cdroom drive and choose install ubuntu option I get an ubuntu grey logo for a couple seconds and the I get this error:
I tried downloading a new copy and burning a new CD but still have the same error, no matter what option I choose when booting the CD.
Does anyone now whats the problem? What I'd like to do is install linux as the only OS (formating everything else) not dual boot or anything, I'm new to linux so it'd help if you guys could give me details on how to fix it
I have installed previous versions of ubuntu on this same computer but using the wizard inside windows.
I am new to linux having just abandoned Windows due to stability issues. I have a Hauppage remote with a usb ir receiver. This worked fine under windows using the drivers for the windows media center remote. I can't however get this to work under Linux. What I am really looking for is a method, perhaps using a command line in the terminal window to be able to test and see if the OS has actually detected the device. I have tried irw, but there is no response. If I know that the device is connected, then I can start looking at issues of identifying the correct drivers for the device.
I need to install Ubuntu on a client device that does not have a CD/DVD drive. It's on the same network and I'd like to be able to insert the Ubuntu CD into my desktop linux machine and install the OS onto this other device remotely.Is there way to do this easily? The client device is a barebones. There is nothing on it and I want to use the entire partition for this.
-Ran Windows XP Media Center for most of the life of this HP Pavilion notebook with 2 hard drives, C: and D:, no partitions except the default HP recovery partition
-Yesterday, installed Ubuntu 9.10 through Wubi on D: from an ISO (because the CD drive doesn't work). I assigned it 30gb on D:, which I assume created a 30gb FAT32 partition on this secondary drive.
-Dual booted successfully from Grub between XP and Ubuntu, so I thought, "Mission accomplished" and started making friends with GNOME. Got a pretty good score in Tetris.
-Was asked if I would like to update to the latest Ubuntu (10.04 I think?) which struck me as a good idea. Everything went smoothly until it asked me to reboot.
-Reboot brought me to a command-line that says "grub rescue>" and above it says "error: no such device: e76e00f3-........" (there's more, I can write it out if that helps)
-Rebooted several more times (cause that usually fixes things) but just got back to "error: no such device: ..." and "grub rescue>"
And that's where I am now. I have almost no experience with how Linux (UNIX?) works differently than Windows or how to use the command line. I know that the hard drives are (hd0), (hd1) instead of C: and D: and that everything important seems to start with "sudo" and that's about it. I was going to ease myself into the whole thing gradually, picking up little bits as I go along. But now I'm just stuck in command line limbo and none of my usual troubleshooting strategies apply here, not even yelling rude things about the computer's manufacturer.
I try to install 10.04 from CD Rom. At the prepare partitions step, no devices appear.Some details: - I already check the md5sum of the CD.- GParted see it and I'm able to partition it. But always nothing detected with the prepare step.- Intel P4 with 80 GB with 1GB of ram - No windows already installed on the machine
this is my first setup of ubuntu. And I�m quite familar to Linux allthoug it�s been a while since my last setup. Anyway, my system is brand new and consist of the following parts:
AMD Athlon X2 240e on MSI 880GMA-E45 (SB850) 4GB RAM (DDR3) All drives connected by SATA using onboard SB850 ordered by: 1 LG BluRay optical drive 2 WD Caviar Green WD10EARS 1TB 3 WD Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 4 WD Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 5 WD Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 6 WD Caviar Green WD15EARS 1,5TB
I set the SATA controller to AHCI because I want to set up a software raid (level 5) on the three 2TB-disks. The first disk (1TB) should be the ubuntu boot disk (no raid). The last one (1,5TB) is currently not connected - it will be added later. First I struggled booting the ubuntu server 10.10-CD (x64) from the bluray drive - after succesfull starting the setup procedure it told me that it cannot access the drive. It seems that drivers are missing. No problem - I connected an usb dvd drive to the system and gave it a try.
The boot order was set to usb-dvd, then bluray, then the first harddisk (1TB). Setup seems to run fine using the usb dvd drive. I�ve chosen the first disk (shown as /dev/sda) for the installation. It was automatically configured as one big root-partition and a small swap-partition. Grub was installed on the MBR of the first disk. But after restart GRUB tells me "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/whatever does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". Obviously the boot loader cannot find (or access) the volume containing the kernel.
I made some research and found some other people complaining about some mixup of hdaX and sdaX devices on SATA devices - but these statements where from 2007. Another point is that the USB optical drive is my boot device while the installation runs, but not afterwards - does this matter? I also tried installing Ubuntu server 10.04, but is behaves the same. Please keep in mind that the goal is to have ubunto server 64bit running on this system - that�s it. No dual boot is needed. And there is no data on any disk that should be taken care. It�s a very new system. Where should I start to fix this issue? What�s wrong with the current linux boot loader using SATA disks connected to SB850 SATA controller?
I have an internet from my mobile company, it isn't ethernet or a usb thats connected to a phone or anything. its basicaly a device that has my mobile card/chip inside and it connects to the internet, here's a picture of the device to give more information.
[URL]
Basicaly on windows xp, or 7, I just plug this into any USB then it automatically installs a software, then program will popup that has "Connect" buttom, I click on that and i'm online, but in linux/ubuntu that auto installation is not coming.
yesterday i upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. During installation i also upgraded grub to version 2. It said that there were two options that i could choose to boot and i choose both. Installation finished with out a hitch. When i attempted restart my laptop i got this message:
error: no such device: 12631218-8ac6-4505-b4cb-a66a1de1814f grub rescue>
I tried the command help and received a message saying that the help command was not recognized. So i then gave Google a bit of a work out and have tried reinstalling grub and manually coping the grub files all to no avail. The problem i believe stems from how i have Ubuntu installed. I have Ubuntu installed like an application on windows 7 on a separate partition on my hard drive. Looking back on it i'm not to sure why i choose that route, but that is how it is installed.
let's say this system has 3 hard drives. Drive #1 and #2 are RAID 0 and Windows7 lives there. It is a hardware RAID, not software.
On Drive #3 Ubuntu has been installed using WUBI - it boots up and works okay - but it does not see the RAID array.
Do I just need a linux driver to be able to see & mount my "Windows" RAID0 array? Or is this even possible? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
