Ubuntu Installation :: Updating To Natty On Toshiba AC100?

May 10, 2011

I am running ubuntu on the Tegra2-based Toshiba AC100, flashed to the internal eMMC (instructions: [URL]..I really like this machine. In accordance with the instructions linked above, I also have a bootable SD card system (far slower), where I can go in as chroot for my eMMC-flashed system if needed (depending on what people suggest).

Yesterday evening I tried to dist-upgrade to Natty but it stopped during installation/configuration at python2.7-minimal. This package (or python-minimal (default)) seems to be in conflict with a few other packages (unity and some other mystery packages named "ubuntu" something).

I am now at a half-updated system that spits out lots of errors while trying to load the new desktop (X starts, but basically just a purple background). I will try logging in to an alternative DE (LXDE) this evening when I get back from work.

Ubuntu Installation :: Updating The Repositories To Natty (11.04)

Aug 14, 2011

After my system was updated to Natty, even though Software Sources is set for LTS updates only, none of the repositories in Software Sources or /etc/apt/sources.list.d were updated. I have manually updated the Software Sources repositories, and removed the outdated repositories from /etc/apt/sources.list.d, but when I do apt-get update I still see references to previous Ubuntu versions. How do I update ALL the repositories?

Ubuntu :: Natty 11.04 - No Headphone Output On Toshiba

Jun 12, 2011

I'm a newbie, running Natty 11.04 on a Toshiba Satellite L645D laptop. If I boot the computer with headphones or an external speaker connection plugged into the headphone jack, I get no output through it. If I plug the headphones in after boot up, audio comes through fine, but there is no "auto-mute" on the internal speakers. If I restart/reboot after having had headphones plugged in, even if they are unplugged during the reboot, I again get no output through the headphone jack.

I have to actually shut the computer down, then start back up in order to regain the headphone audio.I've looked through previous threads discussing similar issues and tried updating, checking the ALSA settings (and I, like seemingly many other users, have no option to control headphone sensitivity, or whatever it was called). I don't have a lot of time to mess around trying to fix this, so I'm kind of wondering if I can just download another version in which this is not an issue? Maybe the stable release?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Broken In Natty After Upgrade (Toshiba T135D)?

May 11, 2011

In Maverick, I had sound working through a USB sound card and through my laptop internal speakers. The built-in headphone jack did not work. After upgrade to Natty, only the internal speakers work, so I have no way of playing through external speakers or headphones. My ALSA debug output is here: [URL]..I have been using pavucontrol for mixing and output selection, and nothing is muted. Sound works through internal speakers, built-in analog output, and USB sound card in Windows, so there is no hardware problem.

Getting either working would be fine. I may be failing to understand fundamental things.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.04 Ok But 10.04 Hangs On Toshiba Sat M200

Aug 23, 2010

I 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, 2011

I 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.

I've tried several times installing from a live USB, no go. I get through the purplish splash/load Ubuntu screen then it disappears. Text flys across the screen for about thirty seconds and then it ends up here, see attached image. It sits here for a minute or so, then just drops me off at a command prompt.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install Toshiba Satellite E205

Feb 25, 2010

I've been trying to figure this out all day, I just got a new Toshiba Satellite E205, and I can't install ubuntu or any other linux os out there that I have tried so far. I've read a lot of things on the forms about changing out the different options but nothing I've tried worked such as graffic safe mode, deleting the quite and whatever the other command was off the end. The closest I've got was when I tried with Debian in text mode I could at least see what was happening, and according to that it can't find my dvd-rom I checked the dev but I can't find it either. So any help what so ever would be appreciated, I really don't want to be stuck with windows 7!BTW, it comes with the following: intel graphics media accelerator HD ACPI x64 DVDRAM ga10f

Ubuntu Installation :: Toshiba A505 Upgrade 9.10 To 10.4 Beta?

successfully upgrade a Toshiba Satellite A505 from 9.10 to 10.4 beta? If so was there anything special that needed to be done. I tried to install 10.4 beta 2 and I could boot from live CD but once installed it did not see to matter what boot option I had it shut the screen off before even getting to grub.

Ubuntu Installation :: Toshiba M35x-s149 Will Not Load 10.04?

Jul 2, 2010

I 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.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Boot 10.04 On Toshiba A505-s6005

Sep 19, 2010

I just bought a new computer, a Toshiba satellite a505-s6005 with an i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM [URL]. I wanted to install Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit version) on it, but it was giving me a black screen with some writing on it every time I tried to boot it from the CD. I did manage to finally activate the installation process, by choosing the
acpi=off
function on the installation menu. I was going fine until I at the very end I got some I/O error and when it rebooted, it gave me the same black screen with writing on it. It does this every time I try to go into Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Installation :: Toshiba Satellite T230 -01Y Won't Start GDM

Dec 20, 2010

I'm having a bit of difficulty installing Ubuntu on a Toshiba Sattelite T230 -01Y. Note: if any particulars about this machine are required, I'll be happy to add them. This laptop does not have an optical drive: no DVD, no CD-ROM. I used a USB memory RAM stick (4Gb) upon which I've installed Maverick through System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator. The installation seems to work well. I cut the hard disk (roughly 250 Gb) into 3 partitions: 20 Gb for the system, 2 Gb for Swap, the remainder for /home. The whole setup works as it would on any other PC. Once the setup is complete and the system reboots, it never actually seems to get GDM going. I'm left at a command prompt login. If I leave it long enough (a few seconds), I get a listing that appears over the login prompt, spewing info at me. It sort of resembles the following:

[ 29.296206] rtl8192_SetWirelessMode(), wireless_mode:10, bEnableHT = 1
[ random number] ====>rtl8192_set_chan_()====ch:1

and ch:2, ch:3 to ch:13. Eventually, regardless whether I use the keyboard or not, some kind of screensaver sets in and I can't see any more input-output.If I hit the power button, oddly: the background goes purple displaying CLI characters momentarily, notifying me that the system's going to halt... and the system halts.Any way I can get this going? Do I require the Optical Drive instead of using USB to install the system? I'm afraid all NTFS partitions have been wiped away as the client insisted they wanted nothing to do with Microsoft products.Note: when installing I ask it not to update during the installation as I've had poor results with that. If you feel I should give that a try, I will.

Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel Used On 10.10 Incompatible With Toshiba L675d?

Feb 24, 2011

I am desperately in love with Linux and love writing Java programs on it and compiling them at the terminal. I love the terminal and practically everything about Linux. But I simply cannot boot into the newest kernel with my new laptop. Do you think the next Ubuntu release will address the current problem of my not being able to use the newest Linux kernel? This is a fundamental problem and cannot be worked around. I have to use an earlier version of the operating system that will eventually not be supported. What's funny is this: my 5+ year-old Toshiba Satellite laptop works wonderfully with Linux and can even connect to my mom's wireless network "out of the box."

I guess it's hard to keep up with all the different hardware configurations on the market, and I can understand that you can't expect every computer to work with Linux. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. i am not using any custom-build PC. I think the problem is just that my laptop is too new and Linux developers haven't had time to catch up with the hardware manufacturers.

Ubuntu Installation :: Flawless Upgrade On Toshiba NB-100-11R - Disabled To Only Allow Updates For 8.04

May 2, 2010

My Toshiba NB100 originally came pre-installed with 8.04 LTS and even has a 'Ubuntu Certified' case sticker, so I expected that jumping to the next LTS should be easy... It was. Simply burnt the image to a thumb drive, booted into the live mode, saw that everything worked and installed it. Everything that worked in 8.04 works here. Not a single problem!

Of course, you have to do a clean install though because the 8.04 supplied by Toshiba is disabled to only allow updates for 8.04 but not to upgrade. I did not need to install any 'Payson' packages and the once proprietary wireless driver is now not, so I have a totally non-proprietary system.

As well as looking nicer and booting faster there are other pluses. I can now upgrade in future without a clean install (if I want) and hopefully no longer have to put up with updates breaking the system - for example sound disappeared on two 8.04 updates (a finding found by many NB100-11R users) and the last update which pushed me to try 10.04 ASAP also made my webcam undetectable and the keyboard mapping all wrong. No such problems here now and I don't expect it.

So, if you have Toshiba-NB100-11R, there is absolutely nothing to lose. Backup your valued files and go for it. Totally painless. Of course you'll need add all the restricted stuff back yourself, but that's not hard. EDIT: Only one thing doesn't work (that doesn't bother me): the function key to toggle wireless on and off. It always remains on.

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Hangs After 10.4 Upgrade From 9.10 On Toshiba Laptop?

Sep 12, 2010

I just used Update Manager to upgrade to 10.4 and all I get is the Ubuntu logo screen with the dots and then the screen goes black and there's no other response. This happened after the upgrade completed installing and I received the message to restart the computer. I have never been able to get it to boot.

I can boot fine by selecting the next older kernal although I do get some messages that I don't understand. It all works so I presume it's OK. The kernal that was installed with the upgrade is 2.6.32-24-generic and I've seen other posts about boot problems with it. The laptop is dual boot with Windows XP and Windows boots normally. I saw a suggestion on another thread about booting into an older kernal and then issuing the sudo update-intramfs -u -k command. I tried it and it didn't help.

Next I tried 2.6.32-24-generic recovery mode and I tried the option to fix damaged packages. It seemed to do something although I saw error messages about not being able to find various software sources. I tried a normal boot afterwards and same problem. Recovery mode has another menu option about repairing grub but I don't want to try that. I'm not a power user and this is all over my head. Before I turn the laptop into an unusable door stop,

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Boot Into Recovery Partition Toshiba NB205?

I have an issue with my keyboard not being picked up in Ubuntu and I went to go ahead and boot into the factory recovery partition to start from scratch, but after it gives me a ramdisk loading bar, then goes to a black screen with a mouse like the recovery will start, then the computer just restarts. Now, I can boot into Ubuntu (but no keyboard) and boot into XP (as I am now) but I can't get the recovery partition to boot.My current station is out in timbuctu, so I am awaiting the arrival of a flash drive to load a LiveCD onto to use Gparted for any potential solutions.

Ubuntu Installation :: Toshiba Satellite L675D Incompatible With 2.6.35-22 Kernel?

Oct 24, 2010

I have two brand new (less than 60 days old) Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7016. Neither will boot the live CD of 10.10-64, but the CDs work in other computers and I have installed successfully half a dozen times off of them. I get the initial text across the top, there is a momentary splash of the Ubuntu logo with a little battery symbol, then the screen goes black with a little flashing prompt in the upper left. That is all it will do until I hard reboot it. I made the USB boot off the CD and tried that. It never gets beyond the initial text "syslinux 3.82 2009-06-09 EBIOS ..etc".

I re-installed 10.04, replacing 10.10 and everything works fine on both laptops. Several hours later (something really needs to be done about how long it takes to upgrade) when the new upgrade is complete, it will no longer boot. Of course the default GRUB menu choice is 2.6.35-22. I assume this is the kernel number. If I pick 2.6.32-25 it boots just fine and "about" says that I am running 10.10, so I am just baffled. I know how to set GRUB to boot of this option by default, but i would like to fix the problem, not put a band-aid on it.

In case someone else has this model, it uses an audio chipset I have not seen. Win 7 reports it as "Realtek High Def audio" AND "ATI HDMI Audio". Ubuntu lists two, one generic Internal Audio, the other RS880 audio device[Radeon HD 4200]. What makes it odd is that if you want to use the head phone jack to connect to an external sound system, you have to turn it on with software inside Windows. In Ubuntu, there is no corresponding software so when you plug something in, the internal speakers turn off, but nothing comes out of the headphone jack.

Ubuntu Installation :: Install Headaches On Toshiba Satellite Pro L510?

Oct 29, 2010

Today I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L510 and after much screwing around I have Ubuntu installed kinda. Installing Ubuntu is generally a breeze and I have three machines running 8.04 pretty much rock solid unless I fiddle with 'em, but; I download and boot from a 10.04 LTS cd and gets to the new purpley splash with a couple of icons down the bottom, then goes into endless full-screen terminal scrolling and the computer heats up. So I tried 8.04. Not much different. I try 10.10; same as 10.04 LTS. So I try the alternate installer rather than desktop but that crashes too. I finally find a website suggesting to run the alternate installer, hit F4 and choose 'failsafe graphics' (which wasn't there for me) and then F6 and select everything but 'Free Software Only'. Hey, worked and I get through the text based installer no problem, restart and I'm looking at a grub2 menu and can select Windows 7 or Ubuntu. Cool.

So I select Ubuntu but goes to a text based, command line Ubuntu. Hasn't loaded a desktop. I try to 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' from the CD but after much scrolling tells me not there. It is telling me I have umpteen updates I should get and asking me to insert the CD, which is fine as the machine is not online, but then can't find what it's looking for.

So I've gotten this far. My router is not set as a DHCP server; all machines have static IPs which is why this new one is not online. Would the simple answer be to plug it directly into the internet gateway router and do the updates from there, ubuntu-desktop included?

Ubuntu Installation :: Won't Install On Laptop - Toshiba Can't Boot From Jump Drive

I have a new laptop that I can install ubuntu on without hassle using a cd. I wanted to put it on my older Toshiba laptop (2003) for my little cousin to use to get on the internet and play games. When I boot from the CD the ubuntu logo comes up runs. It ask me my language then goes to the screen where I can choose "Try Ubuntu without installing it" "Install Ubuntu Now" etc. Ive tried clicking both install and try both launch the ubuntu logo it runs for about 4 min and then hangs on a black screen. I know it isn't the cd because I can use it on any other computer and it works. This Toshiba cannot boot from a jump drive though so that choice is out.
