Ubuntu Installation :: Lockup On Restart After Auto Updates
Aug 6, 2010
Nearly every time that automatic updates finishes installing the software and requires a restart of the OS, the PC locks up at the 'Ubuntu' screen with some dots beneath it.
I have been just been forcing it down by powering off/on the PC - which I figure is probably not a safe thing to do but don't know what else to do or how to troubleshoot this problem.
I've looked at some of the log files but can't make any sense of most of them nor do I know which log file might show the problem.

I am a new user of linux platforms ( i have ubuntu 10.04) and i am totally satisfied from this platform .You can do everything you want without needing previous linux or programming experience.I have the following question.Is there any bash script that makes an auto restart to the computer every 12 hours without needing my credentials to enter to the OS?

I am moving from Fedora on this particular computer and I was wondering if I install something like VLC media player, will the Auto Software update look for new releases it they come out?
In Fedora yum and the software updater will look for updates on packages that are installed from other repositories and just wondering if Ubuntu has the same function.

I'm working on a workstation with Red Hat Enterprise 5.2 mounted on it, in the last days I had some problem with the update packages tool. In fact, when I tried to download some updates by GUI the graphic interface crashed and it was blocked. So, I tried to clean and restart the updates by using yum, particularly I tried the command yum clean all, but at this point an other error occurs:
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum
So I tried to find a solution on the web, particularly I followed the instruction described on this link [URl]..python-485194/ Using by rmp -e command I removed some yum package (i.e. yum-kmod-1.1.16-13.el5.noarch, pirut and so on) Finally I tried to remove definitively the old version of yum and I tried to reinstall the newer version using by the rpm tool.

I have a server box running F12. Whenever networking is lost up-stream, obviously, my box loses it and the networking icon gets the "red" cancellation sign over it.Now, when up-stream connectivity returns, Fedora does not auto-connect. Instead I have to manually go to my office (grrrr), and simply click on the networking icon, click on the unselected radio button next to eth0 (its the only network interface), and I'm good again.To save me future weekend trips to the office.... How can I make sure this happens automatically

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. My laptop has an nVidia card so I'm forced to use the nVidia configuration tools. What I'd like to happen is for it to automatically start using my monitors if they're detected. OR, make a simple script that will enable the monitors without needing to restart X.

Just noticed that auto connection to my wired ethernet is not being established after restarts I'm making. Never recall this in the past. I do get an auto connect when I shutdown and restart. I'm using 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.
Also have noticed that nearly every upgrade over the past week or so is calling for restart to complete the upgrade. Can there be any unwanted problems in doing several upgrades over a period of several days before doing the restart? I'd like to think not.
As you can imagine these two issues together are causing some lost time.

And I then created + configured my server as per the bottom of this suggesting the server config creator tool :url
All fine - then i go to run my server by doing :

I'm remote from my system and so have to wait 2-3 days before I can get access directly, but I've noticed that when the kernel updates automatically (or forced by me), the next reboot stops at the grub page awaiting confirmation of the kernel I want to boot. grub.conf doesnt seem significantly different from that of fedora (my previos distro for this machine) and even has the default lines and times spec'd, so I can't see what's holding it up. Any ideas how I can prevent this so I can have my system auto-updating the kernel AND safe to reboot remotely?

I am using samba4 and bind9 (9.7.2rc1) on an ubuntu server 10.04.
Everything works fine, but bind9 ist unable to update DNS entries sent by clients.
I followed the tutorial [URL] but it doesn't work for me.
It doesn't look like a file permission problem:
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root /usr/local/samba/private/dns.keytab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root /usr/local/samba/private/dns_update_list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root /usr/local/samba/private/named.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root /usr/local/samba/private/named.conf.update

On Windows, 99% of the time you have to restart the server after installing updates. In my brief experience with Linux, its never told me I had to. Do you ever have to restart after installing any for Linux? I'm using redhat specifically if that matters.

I recently updated my software (on Fedora 13) and after the updates had finished installing, it said that the computer required a restart. I noticed that I could no longer type anything into the search bar on Firefox without an error message appearing. So I thought it best to restart the computer then. When restarting, the loading screens took much longer than usual. The guitar pick shape that fills with white was stalling around the top. (I know, I love my complete comprehension of the problem too.) I pressed escape, and was given this message on a black screen.
Welcome to Fedora
Press 'I' to enter interactive startup.
starting udev:udevd-work[517]: '/sbin/modprobe-b pci: v000014E4d0000170Csv00001028sd000001F1bc02sc00i00' unexpected exit with status 0x0009
[OK]
[OK]
setting hostname (my computers name):
This is as far as I can get. I press Esc again, and I see the completed fedora logo, but nothing else happens. I press Esc again, and I come back to the previous screen, and this time there are two of the above messages. My computer is fairly old (four years), so I understand if the hard drive is deteriorating. I would like to have use of my computer back, but at the very least I would like to recover some files that I have not backed up.

I'm currently administering an Ubuntu box remotely. It's set to install security updates automatically, and it notifies me when I log in via ssh whether it has installed an update which requires a reboot. For example, if it installed a kernel update a few days ago, the update manager will touch a "reboot_required" file in /var/run, and when I ssh into the machine today I'll be greeted with a "System restart required" message. Is there a similar functionality for yum or Packagekit?

I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.

I recently had my AE 1000 linksys wireless adapter driver installed, the info for which can be found here:
[URL]
But today I was presented with 142 automatic updates already downloaded waiting to be installed on my computer. I installed the updates and restarted my computer for the updates to take effect. Well, since then my wireless adapter no longer registers at all, it doesn't even recognize my router let alone connect to it. It is as inoperable as the day I got it.
I am currently using a different computer in the house to get internet. Should I go about following the same directions I did before and reinstall the driver, or is there a more simple way?

I'm using an old computer with Lenny for a few weeks. After updating OpenOffice last night from backports to 3.2 and doing an update this morning, there is a long list of packages and libraries in the auto removable section of Synaptic that I suspect or am absolutelt certain that I don't want to remove (Rhytmbox, for example).

On one PC i get automatic updates allmost every day and on the other PC i haven't gotten an auto-update since the install. apt-get update runs ok. I have seen from other posts here, that stable distros are supposed to get only security updates. Why, tho, does one PC get auto-updates, the other not? Is there some switch to enable auto-updates?

It seems I've run into a bit of a problem. I recently upgraded to the latest kernel 2.6.32-24-generic (x86) but when I reboot into the new kernel and type in my password the system hangs, same when using a keyfile on the root file system.to give an outline of how the disks are setup.3 hard drives
sda1 / = unencrypted
sdb1 /home = encrypted w/ luks
sdc1 /backup = encrypted w/ luks
When i boot to the original kernel 2.6.32-21 I'm able to successfully get into the system.

I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a Fujitsu Esprimo E900. During installation, I've used the guided encryption setting because neither GRUB nor LILO would ever install on the LVM configurations I created myself. So after installing Ubuntu 11.04, when I boot regularly, the computer freezes completely. When I try to launch the recovery mode kernel, I get this far and then the computer locks up, too. Ubuntu lockup during boot by germanium, on Flickr
You can see the label is sdb5_crypt which is a bit odd since the partition is on /dev/sda. However, I already tried changing grub.cfg to /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb but that didn't do anything. This is all a bit odd to be. The funny thing is I've been trying to set this computer up for a month and I'm a professional programmer (Java, JavaScript, Groovy) with 20 years of programming experience and I never thought Ubuntu would be this hard to install on a more-or-less stock Intel box.

i'm trying to Debian 8.1.0 on my notebook Acer Travelmate 2200. Currently i have very outdated version of Linux Mint. It works fine but I prefer keeping system updated. Only way to get updated system now is install new one, and here i have a problem. After CD/ISO booting, installation looking for a mountd devices, etc. then i got statement that CPU stuck for x sec. The same statement appears every 20sec. I was trying it on other linux distr's they give the same error. I didn't overclocked my notebook, his temp is ok. I'm working on it few hours each day, it didn't overheat. Someone told me thats bug of 2.6.x kernel but I'm trying install new system with 3.16.x.

For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.

when trying to choose the Linux partition, I found that it would just hang at a blank screen. Looking further into the problem, I had booted with the Linux Rescue and checked the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. It appeared to be that the menu was set to hidden. I got rid of that line, and checked the boot arguments. It still had acpi=off set with the kernel and everything else seems to be in order. Root is set to root (hd0,2) which should be correct.

I recently installed 10.4 on my laptop and I love it, so I wanted to install it on my desktop. It's a somewhat older computer, AMD3000+ nForce 2, 1.5 gigs of Ram and a Radeon x1650. Whenever I try to start the Live CD I get the error soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s and it doesn't continue.

There is a bad bug in OpenOffice that keeps giving me a hard lock. I can not even shut down the program, I need to force a reboot. I can make it happen repetitively. Anytime I am working on a presentation in OpenOffice Impress an am working with sound files this happens. If I am moving the sound file icon around on the slide it randomly locks up the file I have open. Another way is resizing the icon and it will also lock it up.

After updating to 10.10, I started getting hard freezes on a regular (read: every 10 min.during use) basis. A bit of diagnosis showed me that it was only a problem during periods of intensive I/O activity (moving files, downloading, etc.).A bug report started with:BUG: soft lockup - CUP#0 stuck for 61s! [kswapd0:26]I reinstalled 9.04, and was able to successfully copy 15gb from one drive to another. I upgraded to 9.10, and copied it back.Upgraded to 10.04 and copied it again. 10.10, it copied a few mb and froze.

I cannot boot into Ubuntu at all. I have two kernels installed, 2.6.35-28 and 2.6.35-30. The first thing that happened today was that I wasn't able to boot into the latter. I was shown the (in)famous "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s". At this point I could still boot into the 2.6.35-28 kernel. But after shutting down and starting again an hour later, I got the same message when trying to boot into 2.6.35-28. I have tried leaving out the boot options "splash" and "quiet" on both kernels and also adding in "noapic". No combination helps. Needless to say, booting into recovery mode doesn't work either. Up until today, I have been able to boot into both kernels with no problems.

I'm putty'd into an Ubuntu server box and have EDITOR=emacs set. However whenever I run crontab -e my shell locks up.
I can use emacs normally by typing emacs from the command line, so I'm not sure what problem is. If I set EDITOR=vi I can run crontab -e and it opens in vi
