Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Stalled At Upgrading Stage - Hung Up ?
Oct 5, 2010
I have a little (well, don't think it's easy to solve) issue - my computer stalled at irqbalance (set up), /etc/init/irqbalance.conf (installing, but hung up).
So, my question is what to do? Should I just push the button for 6 seconds, unplug the power cord, or what? It's been like this for 5 hours, I thought it'd go away, but no. Of course, I'll leave it for night, but there has to be a way out. I don't want to reinstall the whole OS, I have lots of programs (and files, actually, too) in there. So, if you know what's the reason and how to deal with it, please tell me. Thank you. I know there are many geniuses in there. I launched updater yesterday, oct.3, and pushed install button only today.

I recently installed Ubuntu on my computer, and today after hooking up the internet for the first time it asked me to update. I clicked install, then restarted the computer.
While booting up it hangs up after the following is displayed:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda1: clean, 149460/2400256 files, 984175/9582764 blocks
I've tried ctrl-alt-delete, it restarts, asks me how I want to reboot, and whether I choose generic or recovery mode it still hangs up here. What can I do to be able to access my computer again.

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, I could normally turn off my computer. Every time when I tried to turn off the computer by pressing the 'shut down the computer' button at the upper right corner of the screen and selecting 'Shut down', it will first appear as if it is shutting down normally, but in less than half minute, it stops at a console-like screen with the last few lines of text
Code:
gnal 15, shutting down
init: dbus main process (775)
killed by TERM signal
init: Disconnected from system bus
and then stopped there. I then have to manually and physically power off the computer.

I am in the midst of upgrading my F11 computer to F13. I have run PreUpgrade, and the files have downloaded, it's restarted and now it's asking me to do the Manual TCP/IP Configuration. I have only enabled IPV4. It's asking for the following info (which I can't seem to get right)
[Code]....
The IP I want the computer to have is 192.168.0.5, my router is 192.168.0.1, my subnet is 255.255.255.0 I don't know what the Name server is for. Do I need to put the above into into any of the fields above? I've tried a few times but with no luck.

I recently installed Debian 7 on a dual boot with Windows Vista. Thus, when I boot the computer, I am prompted by a GRUB screen to select Windows Vista loader, Debian, and Debian (recovery mode). I would like to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7. Will this cause an issue with GRUB? Will a Windows 7 loader be added to the list or will a Windows 7 loader replace the Windows Vista loader? Will there have to be a setting change within Debian? Within Windows?

I was clean installing Ubuntu 10.04, and for some reason my machine crashed during the final stages (has been a bit unstable recently), when running the init scripts I think. As a result I think that some programs are not being run properly. For example, cups is never running - I have to start it to use printers. And CDs dont mount automatically. Here are the services states:
Quote:
~ > service --status-all
[ ? ] acpi-support
[ ? ] acpid
[ ? ] alsa-mixer-save
[Code]...
What can I run to clean this up and get things to how they should be? Dont suggest re-installing - I have no time for that and it might crash at the same point.

I upgraded a machine this morning from 9.04 to 9.10 and it went off without a hitch. I then began another upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and it appears to have hung. Everything worked fine up through getting new packages, but when installing the upgrades; it got to Unpacking replacement javascript-common ... it opened a terminal window and stopped. It still says about 20 minutes remaining but it's been saying that for about half an hour. Is there any way I can get it to resume? What do I do now?

I tried running an upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.4 last night, and things seemed to be going smoothly. The upgrade progress was nearly complete, and I wandered off for a while to let it run. When I came back, I had nothing but an orange screen and and unresponsive system. I left it alone all night with the hopes that something would happen, but this morning nothing had changed so I hard restarted the system.
Ubuntu 10.4 appears in GRUB, but the system cannot boot and exits with a kernel panic and the message "vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" I was able to boot to a 10.4 LiveCD, and I can browse all of my files from there. What can I do to get this system back up an running? I have dozens of user account and a lot of customization (it acts as a webserver with a wiki for a gaming website running on it, among other things), so I really really don't want to do a fresh install and lose all my data and customizations.

I used the upgrade manager to update to Ubuntu 10.10. It hung on installing grub. After trying the repairs, the system says it can't find grub_xputs and gives the grub rescue> prompt.

Installing Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid AMD64 from a live CD. During manual partition (allocating mount points to existing partitions), the installer crashes. It just vanishes and drops back to clear desktop of the live CD. The error check from the CD boot menu reports no errors. Running the installer from the CD boot menu (instead of running the live CD first) gives similar symptoms. At the same point in manual partitioning, the installer crashes to a black screen, then starts a live CD session of KDE.
This hardware installed the beta version of Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 AMD64 without error, and has run earlier versions of Kubuntu without this problem.
It looks like a bug to me, so posted on launchpad ...

I have a problem where scp big file over VPN will stalled after few Megabytes are copied. I did some research and someone said it is MTU related, but I can't find a "confirmed" solution for this.
Also, we are developing network programmings over the same network. Should I expect similar "stalled" problem for my socket operations? Or is this only specific for scp/sftp operation?

I'm trying to perform an install of F14 (fresh install over F13), and it has been showing "running post-installation scripts" for 1 1/2 hours now. I am wondering if this is unusual and what the implications might be of power-cycling and rebooting. I'd note this is a fairly fast machine with 2 quad-core Xeons (I forget their model number).

Purchased second hand computer with no O.S installed and so decided to install Ubuntu 9.1. Got to page 4 and a brown progress bar appeared and ran from left to right until it got to 47% then stopped for about 20 secs. After that it disappeared and so I clicked forward to go to step 5 but I got a message saying 'No root file system defined'. 'Correct this from partition menu'.
How do I do this, could someone please help using simple non technical language click by click please?

I've just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (32 bits). Everything seemed to be working great until I tried to hibernate; now it just goes into a blank screen and the "crescent" hibernation/suspend blinking LED on my Lenovo X200 just keeps blinking, and I had to force-shutdown the computer to turn it off. In short, hibernation doesn't work for me in 10.10. This didn't happen prior to the upgrade.

I purchased a Windows 7 upgrade for my PC and plan to do a clean install of 7. I currently dual boot Windows Vista and Ubuntu. I understand when I run the upgrade, it will replace the GRUB Bootloader (Ubuntu Bootloader) with the Windoes Bootloader, when this happens, I won't be able to get back into Ubuntu. How can I correct this issue and reinstall the GRUB Bootloader?

I've been having problems with Dolphin hanging on me and I found out that the problem is due to something with dbus 1.2x. So I downloaded the source for dbus 1.3.1 and proceeded to update dbus by incrementally uninstalling and installing all of the packages it requires. Today I noticed that both dbus-libs 1.24 and dbus-libs 1.3.1 were installed, so I went to get rid of the 1.2 version so that yum would stop telling me there was a conflict.
This is what I did:
Code:
su
rpm -e --nodeps dbus-libs
rpm -Uvh file:///root/rpmbuild/RPMS/X86_64/dbus-libs(versionNum).rpm
I ran that once and restarted, but I think that something happened the first time because rather than it replacing the 1.2x version with 1.3.1 all that was left was 1.2x. So I did the same process as the last time, but after removing dbus-libs I forgot the path to the RPMbuild so I closed konsole and tried to open Dolphin. Well, obviously that's not going to work. So then I, even more stupidly, restarted... And now Fedora won't boot up. How do I reinstall dbus-libs without a bootable Fedora?

1GB Dane-Elec stick is what I'm using.
The only thing out of the ordinary I noticed is that when I clicked "Erase disk" I ended up with a choice of two: /dev/sdc (with no indication of free space but a capacity of 983.0MB), and /dev/sdc1 which showed 288MB free before I erased it and a capacity of 980.4MB.
This app has never worked on any system I've tried it on, but this particular machine is an LTS (10.04) with recent hardware so I'd like to get it fixed if possible.

Here's a screenshot of a sudo fdisk -l command [url]
