Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded 10.04 To 10.10, Unable To Boot Normally?
Oct 10, 2010
I had upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 (which had worked fine) to 10.10 and now if I try to boot normally, I see the "Ubuntu 10.10" text and startup meter... thing for only about a second, then it becomes a pure purple screen and all disk activity stops. I can still boot through Recovery mode with a failsafe X session and Windows (my other OS) can still boot. Along with that my desktop wallpaper is completely white. My PC is an Acer Aspire 4530-6823 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-62 dual-core processor clocked at 2GHz, a NVIDIA GeForce 9100M G and has a dual-boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 set up

I upgraded from Maverick to the Natty beta a little while ago. It all worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then, this morning, I was unable to boot. I got to GRUB, picked the first option and it went to the Ubuntu 11.04 with the dots, then returned this:
Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sdb2: clean, 330122/2170880 files, 7302496/8683520 blocks
init: udevtrigger main process (367) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (372) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (366) killed by TERM signal

I upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 and now it won't boot. The way 9.10 used to boot was after turning on the computer it would go through the bios screen and then a screen would come up and list both operating systems, Windows Xp and Ubuntu. XP would be highlighted and would normally boot if I did not change the highlighted area. If I changed the highlighted area to Ubuntu it would boot into Ubuntu 9.10. Now after doing the upgrade, it gets to the same screen with the two operating systems listed.
When I change the highlighted to Ubuntu an error message is briefly displayed and then it goes back to the screen that lists both operating systems. I think the error message says something like couldn't find Ubuntu, or something similiar to that. Windows XP runs fine when I highlight Windows XP in that first screen, but I want to be able to run Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu on a secondary drive, but shouldn't it have rewritten the upgraded files on that same drive that had 9.10 on it?

So I was on 8.04, and I decided to hit the upgrade button on the gui to upgrade to 10.04. Well the upgrade went fine and all...until I rebooted. Now I get this
Starting up .
mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device
udevd[984]: error getting socket: Invalid argument
error initializing netlink socket
udevd[984]: error initializing netlink socket
[Code]...
I found some other posts and tried adding the rootdelay=35 and acpi=off but those did not fix it. This is a virtual machine running on VMWare ESXi 4.1.

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 via the update manager and somehow in the middle of it, the package failed. And so I carried on using the ubuntu, rebooted and now the disk is not ready and cannot mount. Press S to skip or M for manual recovery. Skip does nothing, only can use manual recovery.I tried everything from the ubuntu forums & google from other people who had the same problem. The problem is my root terminal on manual recovery doesn't have networking.Only can use liveCD which I still can't connect to the internet because I use wlan0 from ndiswrapper.
I am a dual booter of Ubuntu 10.10 on one partition and Windows XP on other. I edited the grub to boot those. One HDD is partitioned into 2 drives so one partition holds XP and the other partition is a "translator" that holds files which both ubuntu and XP can access. (don't ask me why, I cleaned the dust off my PC recently after 3 years )My outputs are:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
Code:
title LINUX - Ubuntu 10.10 - kernel 2.6.35-28-generic
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic root=UUID=85de06c5-cf3e-46b8-8c14-2c217be8dd9d ro vga=0x317 splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic[code]....
- I commented the UUIDs, that doesn't work.
- I tried remounting it, no effect.
- I fsck'ed it, no effect.
- I booted using LiveCD but cannot connect to the internet due to wireless.
- Cannot apt-get update & upgrade due to no internet.
That's all I remember cos I basically tried alot different ways and cannot get it to boot.I am thinking of formatting the mess and start all over again but I don't really want to do that because it is a good system, just that the grub file and fstab is kinda cluttered.

I have both 9.04 & 9.10 installed & running with a dual-boot...now I want to remove 9.04 and go to a single-boot of 9.10...how do I do this? I want to reclaim my disk space from the old OS as well...to make matters alittle messier, 9.10 was installed first...then after encountering trouble I installed 9.04 to see if it solved my problem...when I figured out how to solve problem it worked same on both releases...so I now want to remove 9.04 and stay with 9.10...but I don't want the uninstall of 9.04 to impact the 9.10 install...I would also like to adjust the partitions so that I can use all of the disk for 9.10 (including that which was used for 9.04 and it's swap file)..

For some reason after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.4 I now at boot get the password box for unlocking the keyring. It does not seem to make any difference to the computer if I put the correct password in, junk or just cancel. Everything still works as it did before. So how do I turn it off, it's not doing anything from what I can see.

I just upgraded my server, and now I am stuck at "Kernel panic- not synching: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" I have read other suggestions about booting to previous kernels to reinstall latest kernel, but that doesn't work since I can't boot to any kernel. How can I fix this with the restore cd or from grub2 command line. Reinstalling is not an option as I have lots of configurations that I don't want to lose.

I had Debian 7.9 up and running like a charm until yesterday. Today I did the upgrade to 8.2, now boot hangs. I see 3 boot entries for the new kernel now -
Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (sysvinit)
Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (recovery mode)
The latter 2 entries have no problem booting up. So do the previous kernel(3.2.0.4) entries. Only the first one hangs, for which I see these 6 lines on the console:
[ 0.214704] pnp 00:04: can't evaluate _CRS: 12298
Loading, please wait...
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
/dev/mapper/myhost-root: clean, 198627/61000000 files, 2160052/24412 blocks
[ 0.047141] kvm: disabled by bios
[ 0.000985] kvm: disabled by bios
How can I make it boot up like others?

I upgraded from Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 to Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and running a dual boot system with Windows. On the grub screen there are four listings now for Ubuntu. Two recover modes and two ubuntu modes. Is this normal? Going to reboot and see if I can get a picture of it.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Windows XP installed on my laptop. Usually when booting, I get the GRUB 2 menu and I can boot into either Ubuntu or XP.I was playing around with EasyBCD, then after trying to remove it I was unable to boot into Windows, I used a Windows 2000 CD recovery console to fix the MBR (using: fixboot and fixmbr).Now Windows starts up when I power on, but I don't get the grub menu anymore with an Ubuntu option. If I boot from the Ubuntu Live CD and try to mount my Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda5) I get this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

After installing karmic with Grub2 I am unable to boot into Archlinux partition. Grub2 has removed the last line of the Archlinux boot stanza! It used to read:-

Following the Grub2 tutorials I have tried editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom as follows:-

But no luck. Only way into Archlinux is to get into the edit shell and manually add the missing line and remove other stuff not needed. I have spent hours trying to resolve this issue and I am fairly p----d off

I can only use the Live CD to operate Ubuntu. After typing in the command sudo fdisk -l, I get the following?
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[Code]....
And when I boot without the Live CD, I get the following message in the GNU GRUB Version 1.98-1ubuntu7 window page.

When "sudo apt-get upgrade" said packages have been kept back, used "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade."Obtained grub prompt on restart; purged and reinstalled grub using the chroot method. This has become customarily necessary after certain system-wide changes (see my other threads) but I still don't know why. But it's not the main subject of this thread.On restart obtained message saying kernel and fallback failed to load. Restarted and used shift to select 2.6.35-25 (3rd on the list) to load.I inferred that 2.6.35-28 is at fault since the recent upgrade mentioned kernel generic.

I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on windows7.windows 7 was already installed.I ollowed these steps to install ubuntu 10.04.1)First i made some freespace in hard disk to install ubuntu using windows7 default options(By shrinking).2)I used USB drive to install ubuntu.I made it bootable using unetbootin.3)I followed normal steps install(language,area,keyboard,using manual partition i installed ubuntu in free space,etc).4)I got boot menu when it restarted.PROBLEM isAs long i use only ubuntu (boot into ubuntu --shutdown--boot into ubuntu --shutdown) it works well.
If once i boot into windows 7 and restart the system i am loosing boot menu options.The following error i am getting"no module name found Aborted.Press any key to exit".If i press any key,I guess its trying boot using internet and lastly it says Operating system not found and hangs.

I upgraded a PC from 10.04.1 to 10.10 and it will not boot into the new kernel. Because the system started as Ubuntu 7.10, it is using Grub 1.
It gets to the point where it displays "Starting up..." then displays a flashing cursor at the upper left of the screen, it does nothing further.
Yet it will boot into the previous kernel from the 10.04.1 installation, but X will crash if I login using the XFCE desktop, yet it will log into LXDE without a problem.
Is this a known issue (not booting up with new kernel)?
The CPU is an AMD Athlon 32-bit which does have CMOV (per cat /proc/cpuinfo). I have also manually run various apt-get commands to upgrade/update everything, no change resulted.

I'm running a Fedora 10 box behind a Comcast cable modem that provides squid and mail services to 15 XP and Vista workstations. I upgraded the ethernet cards on our Fedora box to support our new 1 gigabyte network. I kept the same device configuration eth0 and eth2 by updating the /etc/udev/net persistent file and changing the ethernet hardware address in the respective ifcfg-eht files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. The box booted to the new cards, the route and ifgonfig shows the new cards and their hardware addresses, the configuration looks as how the old cards looked (eth0 and eth2 respectfully). I was able to browse the local network and have access to the internet as before from inside the network . However I cannot get access to our web server that serves our web host and our VPN services from ouside our network. I tried stopping the firewall and still could nor connect from outside the network.Could my old ethernet hardware address be hard coded somewherel?

Having a major issue with my laptop. I am unable to boot into my Vista installation.I am currently posting this through my Fedora 11 installation which I had already. If anyone is interested, the BSOD error is:
0x0000007B (0x80399BB0, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
As far as I know, a '7B' BSOD is usually a hard disk error but I am 100% sure the HDD is fine as I can read and write from both Fedora and Knoppix without issue. Steps taken so far: Obviously, I have tried the usual steps of trying to start windows in safe mode, last good config, and all of the F8 options. When they failed, I used fedora to check for some solutions online (Mostly useless answers from MS) and I found one successful case when a person flashed his BIOS back to an earlier time. Unfortunately, I cant get the BIOS update I got from the Dell website to boot from a USB drive (Says invalid boot disc - the BIOS on it is in the .exe format which I can't use in linux) and I do not have a floppy drive on the laptop.
So, I put in my Dell drivers and utilities CD hoping that it would give me some option to update (Or roll back) the BIOS but there was no such option. However, it did give me a load of diagnostic options including repair options by symptom so went with the "Unable to boot from BIOS". Unfortunately, that didnt help me at all. So, I got my Vista installation disc (OEM supplied) and managed to get to the repair menu (Which I had among my F8 options anyway) but this also has the option to reinstall. Unfortunately, it states that "Upgrade is unavailable" and that a clean install is the only thing I can select (At the expense of my files and settings).
As for the repair options, the automatic recovery doesn't seem to find any errors, asks to reset and see if all is well (It isn't). For some reason, system restore doesn't detect any restore points. There are no windows memory errors detected and I have no backups. So, i'm left with a command prompt that, by default, is asking for a file in this folder: X:/WINDOWS/System32/ I have no idea where it is getting the X: drive from - I have C and D drives for windows only. As per another online guide, I tried:

One hour ago I had a nice computer running Ubuntu 9.10 and I ran the update manager and clicked on update to 10.04 LTS distrubution. Now the computer wont boot! I get this message:
init: plymouth main process (3083) killed by SEGV signal
init: plymouth-splash main process (477) terminated with status 2
... and after that nothing happens unless I hit Ctrl-alt-delete. the rest of my family is lining up for a chance to punch me. Yes, I have googled around and I see that I'm not alone about this but how the heck can I get the computer working again? I have a rescue partition so I can boot up another installation on the same machine

I upgraded today to 10.04, everything went fine and was working fine. I went to boot back into Vista via grub2. I immediatly get the PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable PXE-M0F Exiting PXE ROM
I first checked my boot order, and lan is very last. Also, through Ubuntu I can view everything on the hard drive so it is not that. I think it may have to do with during the update process, it asked about grub2 update preferences and asked about different drives and such (I am not exactly sure what it was called). I didn't select all of the choices, and I believe this may be the cause, as this was the only thing I had control of that I could have screwed up.
