Ubuntu Installation :: Ubuntu 11.04 With Hp Mini - Won't Boot - Goes To The Desktop Theme Then Freezes With Three Warning Messages
Jun 9, 2011
I have a hp mini 1033cr. Awhile ago I installed ubuntu netbook edition, well I was new to Ubuntu so I clicked upgrade. Well everything was going good and then it restarted. when I came up to the log in page I typed my password and now it won't boot. it goes to the desktop theme but then freezes with three warning messages.
1st could not update ICEauthority file /home/adam/.ICEauthority
2nd There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgcond-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
3rd Nautilus could not create the following required folders: /home/adam/desktop, /home/adam/.nautilus
I have tried a fresh install with a disc I burnt and ran with my external dvd drive. Well guess what it decided to not boot from it. I have also tried several other discs including a windows xp disc. it always boots back to the hard drive.

I am attempting to boot Ubuntu off of a USB drive. The USB drive was created via the USB creator in the .iso file dowloaded from Ubuntu. But for some reason when I go into my BIOS and boot from the USB drive, it spits out one line of syslinux and copyright information ending in "et al" and then a flashing cursor but doesn't go any further. I would provide a screenshot but that isnt an option at the moment with not being able to get past the first line of booting. Also, I have never used Ubuntu as this is my first attempt at running it and it is obviously not going the best.

I'm trying to install Fedora10 on my new desktop. It has Windows 7 beta on it and Vista. It starts up fine and I select install. For some reason my wired usb keyboard will not respond unless I press the caps lock button while it loads the begging. (I don't know if another button will work, ive only used the caps button since i can see the light come on) once it loads i skip the disk check and anaconda runs, i get the warning (mini-wm:1462): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :1 .

I tried to install VirtualBox 32 bit on my 64bit Fedora11 OS. I took the 32 bit version as I want to run a 32bit software. I collected all information I could get from other forums. That's what I did: I downloaded and installed [URL]
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Now I got stucked with the error Qt WARNING: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. I searched for qt or qgtkstyle on my system and found files containing both but don't know what to do here.

I burnt the Ubuntu 9.10 ISO to CD and installed on a freshly nuked Dell 2350. It is pentium 4 at 1.8 MHZ with 512 RAM. Just a spare machine I have sitting there. Install went fine, restarted box, boot from hard drive. I get the little white Ubuntu symbol on a black screen and then a black screen with un-occupied white tool bars at top and bottom of screen and a functional mouse pointer, then nothing. It freezes there.
If I restart by holding the power switch in it occasionally shows multiple CPU overtemp messages and freezes with totally black screen. I can run the CD live and everything works like a champ. I'm going to like Ubuntu once I have this sorted out. If I boot from CD and choose the run from first hard drive option, everything loads and works fine. I was able to remove CD, update and save preferences, etc..
On one occasion, I was able to restart and boot from hard drive and it worked fine but usually it freezes at previously mentioned black screen with white bars top and bottom with mouse pointer. Please excuse my ignorance as I have very little knowledge of the inside workings of computers. I didn't even know about burning ISO's or changing boot orders until reading online. For what it's worth, the computer worked fine with no known hardware problems when it was running XP. It also is completely stock with no mods or added/replaced hardware.

I tried to test Ubuntu on my dekstop, an HP Pavilion a6223w with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 but as soon as the live CD reaches the desktop, it hangs, no errors, and from what I can tell it isn't running on any restricted drivers. Is ubuntu not compatible with my PC or something? Here's my full spec's:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ 2.6GHZ
ECS Nettle2 Mobo with Nvidia nforce 4 chipset and Nvidia 6150SE integrated graphics
3GBs DDR2 5300 RAM @ 667 mhz
500GB Sata HD 7200rpm
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCIe x16
HP Multimedia Keyboard and Logitech USB Optical Mouse
Realtek Onboard HD Audio
I tested it with the latest version of Ubuntu (9.10)

I'm trying to boot my Dell Mini 12 from a USB boot disk with the ubuntu-9.10-alternate-lpia.iso image installed (I've also tried ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso). I turn the machine on, press F12 to get to the boot menu, then select the USB disk. After this I just get a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen and nothing else happens.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Minimal on a 2GB USB using CLI and it is working very well after I added a few things. I intend to use it on machines other than my own. But the GRUB boot loader was installed to the main system on my machine and it is booting from there.
During the installation it was said that the bootloader can be installed on a floppy. So I started a new 2 GB stick and tried to install the boot loader on a floppy but my computer does not recognize floppies anymore (seems to be a wider problem with recent distributions).
So I tried to install the bootloader on a different USB stick and and this also did not work. Cannot find recent and relatively easy way to install GRUB boot loader to a stick.

As my inspirations forced me to download Kde desktop on my Fedora12 with default gnome desktop. It took me whole night to get the big download by -
"Yum install @kde-desktop"
It got installed successfully.
What I did after that was -
"switchdesk kde"
...Voila...and strange thing happened. The gnome remained there but all the kde features started getting included in there like koffice, kopete etc . Now I waited for around 3 hrs. but only lower task bar of kde got installed and that too very unstable. So I thought of logging out and starting a new session with kde but It never got logged in again. It froze at boot time with Fedora logo, damn.
I have two kernels installed and configured at boot, one is 2.6.31.X (default) and the other is 2.6.32.X which I installed to get my BCM4312 wireless activated and all the activity being done on this.

I have a Mac Mini with OS X that I had dual booted successfully with Windows XP for my family. I am a rookie at all this but learned a lot Googling sites that walked me through things. I got bold and tried to triple boot the Mac Mini with Ubuntu 10.04 using rEfIt. I was following this website. [URL].
MISTAKE #1
All was done to the letter until I accidentally realized I had clicked install on step 8 before I clicked "Advanced" to check off the "Install Boot Loader" and changing the device to the partition I had made for Ubuntu (/dev/sda3/). It finished installing and rebooted with the rEFIt screen with Mac / Ubuntu /Windows icons. Mac started, but both Windows and Ubuntu showed a black screen with blinking underscore in the top left of the screen. I went back to the Mac OS and in Disk Utility I noticed that the Linux-Ubuntu name on the partition I had made changed to "DiskOS3".
Mistake #2
I panicked and used "Erase" in Disk Utility on that partition using the Zero Out Data security Erase option.
Mistake #3
Then I reinstalled the Ubuntu 10.04 cd into the drive and did the install boot loader steps. It started up but the rEFIt screen now has Mac/ two Ubuntu penguins/ and Windows icons. Mac starts and works, but both ubuntu icons and Windows leads to the black screen with blincking underscore cursor.
Here are specs and data for hard drive below:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Mini
Model Identifier: Mac Mini3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06
SMC Version (system): 1.35f0 .....

I've been goign nuts trying to find the source of this niggling problem I've had since upgrading to Maverick. Whenever I'm watching anything I will get these short freezes of about half a second before he file continues playing. It will happen on average 3-4 times per hour on a video file.
For MP3 playback it's even worse, I'll get a stutter every couple of minutes, sometimes several in the same song. I reformatted completely and installed Maverick from scratch. For about a day I thought I had it sorted but then it started happening again.
I checked dmesg and there are a number of worrying lines like this:
Quote:
[40616.032093] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE DMA
[40616.032108] ata1.00: cmd ca/00:20:df:b6:82/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 16384 out
[40616.032111] res 40/00:00:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/10 Emask 0x24 (host bus error)
[40616.032118] ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
[Code]....
The thing is that this problem occurs on all three of my hard drives (2 SATA, one IDE) so it's extremely unlikely all three have become damaged on the day I updated. Could this be a kernel problem of some sort? On an unrelated note all but one of my USB ports fails to recognise any portable music players.

My Mini13 came with hardy preloaded, and it's got pretty messed up since, so I'd like to restore factory OS via a grub entry that looks like this:
title System Restore
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
boot
This points to a partition which, when mounted, has this stuff in it:
bootfs.img initrd0.img install.sh logo.png syslinux.cfg vmlinuz
boot.msg install.cfg ldlinux.sys rootfs.img vesamenu.c32
I'm not a computer, but that looks pretty good to me but when I select this grub option it just says:
Boot Error
Is there a log or something that might give me more info about the error?

Trying to install ubuntu 11.04 drove me nuts until I found this page .
My system is an ASUS moderboard with an AMD chipset. The solution came when I entered the BIOS and disabled the cool&quiet feature for the chipset.
After installation, I have to keep cool&quiet disabled in order to run ubuntu. Re-enabling cool&quiet results in ramdon restarts or freezing

For some reason my disc I burned for ubuntu desktop 10.10 freezes when I get to the ubuntu logo with the 5 dots. I am able to install ubuntu server just fine.
I tried to install desktop on top of server using sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop and then whenever I reboot it freezes during startup.
I think it might be my swap partition. I recall seeing a blip of an error talking about "press C to skip or M to start maintenence" or something like that. It never stayed on the screen long enough for me to read it.

Just did an install and am loving Debian. I am having troubles with my card causing mini-freezes. I type and the input sometimes(every 30 seconds) stops and then catches up. This is really annoying. I figure it is the wireless driver because when I ran top -d 0.1 Ieee80211/1 or Ieee80211/0 was the main verdict during every stall. I have not had this problem with other distros, but came to Debian for stability. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I've just done a clean install of 10.4.1 onto a Compaq Pressario Desktop, which earlier had 8.04, upgraded online to 10.04.1.Repartitioned and installed from an iso disc, checked for Md5sum.All seemed to go as per text book, but when the system starts there is a momentary error message"no suitable mode""no command terminal found"It then proceeds to show the default purple hazy background, but stops there, with no other parts of the normal desktop, icons etc .After about three minutes, it goes black, and if I then hit the enter key, or move the mouse, it displays the log in window and asks for my password.I enter this, and again it reverts to the purple haze.This cycle repeats.I've checked the boot order to boot from the hdd first, so I'm stumped as to what to try next, apart from going through the whole install process again

I am currently facing a problem with rsync (or maybe ssh, I don't know yet). I have daily backups that are done via cron using rsync from my computer (client) to a NAS. And systematically during these backups my computer completely freezes (no remote login possible, nothing), so I have to hard reboot. As you might imagine, I cannot do this every day. In /var/log/messages there is just a line like that :
Feb 26 17:23:53 eggplant rsyslogd: -- MARK --
right before the hang. The rsync worked well before and I don't really know what changed in my system config. In /var/log/rsyncd.log I sometimes (but not every time) I get :
2011/02/26 16:39:19 [13229] rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(543) [Receiver=3.0.7]
I aldready update the default rsync from opensuse 11.3 to 3.0.7.7, but it does not help. How can I at least know what is going wrong? I am trying to track down the problem but don't know how to start. Last also a log of the rsync command (client) running ssh in verbose using the command "rsync -av --delete --timeout=180 -e "ssh -v -p xxxxxx -i /root/.ssh/rsync-key_eggplant" /mds root@xxxxxxxx:/volume1/autoBackup/eggplant":

Not a major issue but my Ubuntu boot screen change to the old classic Orange theme after i installed Kubuntu on a different drive and ofcourse a new Grub loader as the Kubuntu installation prompted. It can't be because of the Kubuntu installation but i can't find any other reason for that to happen.

I have been getting squashfs errors in the live usb created by various means(unetbootin,usbcreater,pendrive linux software).
There seems to be no error in my media or my hw. I have tried both 32 and 64 bit versions and the md5 sums of both match with the hashes given online. I havent yet tested with a compact disk, but i am sure the hw is working fine (it just booted 9.04 from usb..)
I have tried a few boot options [URL] to no avail. Also by turning off the quiet mode during boot, I see that the a few errors are "Unable to read from /dev/sdb" which should be the usb drive itself.
I will try a CD now, but my cd drive is not working. I hope to get a usb drive and boot from it.

Im running desktop dual boot system with two hard drives, one with Windows XP and the other with Ubuntu. Ive had no problems with this until now when I upgraded from Hardy to Lucid. Now I have problems with the system freezing on boot up.
Sometimes it will boot just fine, and at other times it will freeze before the login screen appears. When it does freeze, there are flashing lights on the keyboard and the floppy disk light (yes, its an old computer) is lit constantly. The only thing I can do is switch the computer off and hope it will boot up properly the next time.
When I did the upgrade there were a couple of files where the program asked if I wanted to keep the custom file or overwrite it with the maintainers file and I chose to keep the custom one. I THINK one of them might have been GRUB, but Im not sure.
Has anyone had a similar experience and were you able to cure it? I have seen a thread where people have had the system freeze on them, but Im not sure its QUITE the same thing.
Ive also done a clean install with Lucid on my laptop and have had no problems. The laptop is only running Ubuntu.
Im also wondering if reinstalling Grub on my desktop would solve the problem.
a. If so, would it still show both operating systems?
b. How do you do it?
