This weekend I did a distribution upgrade to Karmic, but it didn't go very well. Upon reboot, I see a white ubuntu logo on a black screen. I hear the speakers pop, and the screen flashes several times, sorta like the blank screen is maybe changing video modes. After a while I see what I think is garbled text but is unreadable, and it looks like I can log on even though I can't read anything. Now, booting into recovery mode gets me to a readable prompt. There are no upgrades to apply. Typing gdm from here gets me to the desktop just fine. Also when booting, if I choose an earlier kernel the system boots fine also, except the touchpad doesn't work.
my touchpad worked out of the Box after insalling Xubunut 11.04 and did so ever since. But since yesterday it doesn't. It worked when i shut down the laptop and didn't when i booted later. How do i fix this? Yes i read the article about thouchpads.
Title says it all really. I can move the mouse around but can't select stuff by tapping the pad. I have synaptics installed which works in Arch and Slackware. Not in F12 though.
I've been using fedora for about 2 years, and i recently bought a new laptop. After using a usb mouse my toughpad no longer works? Now it works on login but after login touchpad input is gone.
Before ubuntu can even boot I get this on my monitor
Out of range Please set to 1280x1080 @ 60Hz
I get that a grub. I'm not even sure if ubuntu can even boot because my monitor won't let me see anything. I'm using the driver off the nvidia website, not the stock one that came with ubuntu.
I'm having a problem with my touchpad being recognized.It works fine in Win7, but when I load Debian the touchpad doesn't work and isn't listed in xinput.When I first installed Debian, the touchpad worked for a minute, then the computer went to sleep. I woke it up and the touchpad wouldn't work. Since then, the touchpad does not work.
After upgrading to -current (using slackpkg), my touchpad scrolling won't work.I remember that this had solved my problem previous time and in fact, after upgrade I have changed nothing (since this file already existed there). When I check the /usr/share/hal/fdi/ policy/ 10osvendor/ directory, I see that no "11-x11-synaptics.fdi" file was present. I just copied the file from /etc/hal/fdi/policy into this directory, but this did not help. Can somebody guide me through this?
I recently tried to upgrade my Dell Latitude C610 from 10.10 to 11.04, but it got kernel panic right in the middle. Now it at least boots, but the mouse doesn't work--only the keyboard does. How do I fix this enough to use the mouse, or how do I operate Gnome with a keyboard?
I just tried setting my vga mode in grub.conf so that I can have my boot splash back after disabling nouveau. Works great. Problem is, now, that after doing this my touchpad is disabled. Anyone else run into this? I'm on an HP dv6, FC13, vga=0x37b. I remove vga mode setting and touchpad works again.
Just before Lucid was released, I installed karmic on a vanilla VM in 64-bit mode, and all was good. Did a desktop setup and afterwards installed Eclipse, and I was happy: A new system for coding on-the-go! Now, after upgrading to Lucid with do-release-upgrade -d, I can no longer enter my password on X login. The keyboard just doesn't work for some reason. When I enable the onscreen keyboard, and click my password, I can login. The strange thing is that my keyboard works like a charm after I've logged into my X session?
I want to upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 installed through Wubi to 11.04. Now, Windows doesn't work. I can't upgrade Ubuntu by it because it is impossible to download files. Can I upgrade it without connecting Ubuntu to the Internet and starting Windows?
I've just upgraded my web/tv setup from 9.10 to lucid and everything seems to be working apart from my infra red remote control.The remote was working fine in 9.10 and was used to control mythtv-frontend however after the upgrade the remote appears to be controlling ubuntu natively, i.e. right left up and down control what is selected on the desktop where as previously the remote was set to only work within mythtv. Whilst native support for my remote control is muchly appreciated(if that is what this is) where can I configure the controls so that it is usable again?
I tried to upgrade to Leonidas from Cambridge, but didn't have enough space on the partition /, so I soft linked /var/cache/yum (or whatever) to a larger partition, but now the upgrade does not find the subdirectory called preupdate (it's there in the linked dir, checked). Is there any more sofisticated way around than changing parition sizes and copying and stuff?
Laptop is of the Lenovo 3000 Y500 series, 32bit processor. Touchpad does not respond during the installation.Worried if the Touchpad won't work even after the installation..Currently using Windows7.
I am trying to read the names of hosts from a file and do a ssh to see if processes are all running or not.
Here is the outer loop that is causing problem:
hosts.lst is a text file that has the host names in each line.
The problem is that the loop just breaks after the first run. Somehow while read line becomes invalid when the body of the loop does the ssh and returns.
My Dell Latitude 2100 worked fine with the pre-installed Ubuntu 9.04. I upgraded to 9.10 and the touchpad stopped working. Restored to factory condition and it again worked fine. I re-did the upgrade, this time asking it not to delete the obsolete items.

I'm just a newbie to this operating system. Even though I'm having some trouble, it still seems more sensible to me than Windows. I'd like to continue to use it, but I'd like to know why it doesn't work for me sometimes, and I'd like to see if I can't make it work better for me.
After I upgraded to 11.04 I've had a host of problems. My USB ports have intermittant trouble recognizing storage devices. My USB ports also have intermittant trouble recognizing my USB WiFi device. The VLC player will crash the Gnome Desktop whenever I use it. I still haven't figured it out.
I'm interested in the following question:
Why can't software and hardware that already works be insured to continue to work after an upgrade?
I had been running Slackware64 13 almost since it came out and recently upgraded to Slackware64 13.1.Every thing looked to be working well until I tried to burn a DVD with k3B. It starts the burn process but then dies and says that "cdrecord has no permission to open the device".I was able to put in a DVD+RW and erase it without a problem, but when trying to burn to a DVD-R it stops and gives me the error.I checked cdrecord and it is owned by root in the root group.
I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. When I restarted, I admired the new login menu, then went to Firefox. I noticed that my wireless didn't work (it did in 9.04) Thinking I'd just need to reinstall the drivers, I plugged in the computer to a working Ethernet outlet with a working cord. I noticed that Ubuntu didn't tell me that Auto eth0 was connected. It didn't tell me anything. And then I went to Google and realized that the wired connection didn't work either. Then I came here on an iPod Touch and you know the rest.
After I finished upgrading Xubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04, I discovered that my keyboard stopped working in X Server. The upgrade process was running smoothly until the last moment, when it produced some error, which I, unfortunately, did not write down. Anyway, the upgrade has completed; uname shows kernel version 2.6.32-31. Now the keyboard works fine if I select a recovery mode at startup, but if I type 'start gdm' from the shell or select the default option in GRUB while booting, the keyboard becomes unavailable right from the login screen. I can log on using the virtual keyboard, but that's all I can do; the keyboard is still dead.
My webcam worked with every application in Linux Mint6. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 and find that the input from the webcam looks like a green TV without horizontal lock in Camorama and Skype. However it works perfectly with Cheese.
I maintain my slackware by using slackpkg-current. When I upgraded to the new OpenSSH 5.4, I noticed that my key method (passwordless) doesn't work anymore. I checked and checked the conf files but everything looks fine.I tried debug but can't get it to work, here is the debug:
Mar 15 21:52:15 vmslackware2 sshd[2663]: debug1: rexec start in 5 out 5 newsock Mar 15 21:52:15 vmslackware2 sshd[2622]: debug1: Forked child 2663. Mar 15 21:52:15 vmslackware2 sshd[2663]: debug1: inetd sockets after dupping: 3,
After the upgrade, I've noticed a problem I haven't had before - hibernating worked fine to the last. The problem is, although the system correctly hibernates, it makes no attempt to "wake" from hibernation when I power it up - it boots normally, and with fsck-ing like it was powered off without proper shutdown (understandably). I don't know why it happens, and I've skimmed the logs, but noticed nothing special. What could be the problem? What could I try? Which log should help someone find that out?
I've had some problems with my ubuntu lately (>.<) and would like to use my Windows 7 disc to install windows side by side with ubuntu (for compatibility reasons). The problem is, my computer won't boot the disc on startup, won't read it at all, and thus I can't install it. How can I make Ubuntu read the Windows 7 disc? All other discs work fine.
Its not just my disc- I've used this disc on other computers no problem, and my Ubuntu reads other discs without any problems.
I have a small problem with lmsensors and snmp since I upgraded my small server from 9.10 to 10.04. I use cacti to monitor my servers usage, disk space as well as temps and fans. This was running very fine before the upgrade, but now I don't get data anymore from lmsensors. It seems that SNMP doesn't give this information as before. (Cacti log says: "No sensor data was returned from SNMP")
sensors give the following output:
Code:
w83627dhg-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Vcore: +1.12 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +1.74 V) AVCC: +3.41 V (min = +2.98 V, max = +3.63 V)
I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 Worked fined, but suspend doesn't work anymore. When I click suspend, a tty1 terminal screen appears, exactly as you would hit ctrl+alt+F1, with the exception that no input is possible. I'm a newbie and an Ubuntu fan but I absolutely have no idea how to solve this...
