Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.04, Reboot Fail?

May 5, 2010

looks like everything upgraded like the other upgrades I did on a couple other machines this weekend, but upon reboot, I get a mouse pointer (inop) and the little 'drum beat' audio file plays, and it goes into a loop (blank screen, pointer, audio...(repeat)...)

upgraded from 9.10 (both old and new versions are the x64 version) (my successful upgrades to 10.04 were on both x86 and x64 versions)
Lenovo T400

dual boot w/ xp (grub seems to work just fine)

I checked the menu.lst (~) for proper kernel versions as mentioned in another post, and they looked correct to me.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.10 After Reboot 10.04 Loads?

Dec 15, 2010

I upgraded 10.04 to 10.10. At the tail end of the install, the display locked. After an hour or 2 I rebooted the box.

Came up to a command prompt (instead of starting the GUI automatically), started the GUI, everything seemed fine.

Ran 10.10 fine for 2 days. Installed apps, got my SVN environment set, started doing development work.

I got a lockup, had to reboot....Came back as 10.04.

I have only one hard drive (/dev/sda), 4 partitions.

My new files all seem to be there, are accessible and valid. Just the OS version has reverted??!?!?!?

How do I get back to 10.10 (without doing another update, install cycle)? Surely it's there somewhere...

Looking at the grub list, only Ubuntu 10.04 is an option.Looking at the /boot directory, there are several initrd.img files that are newer than the ones associated with 10.04 in the grub/menu.lst file (i.e., Ubuntu 10.04.1 = initrd...2.6.27, whereas there are other files in the boot directory like 2.6.26, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32)

Fedora Installation :: F15 Upgrade - Cold Boot Error "Your System Last Boot Fail Or Post Interrupted Please Enter Setup To Load Default And Reboot"

Jun 30, 2011

I just upgraded to F15 and it went well. But at the next and each subsequent cold boot the BIOS reports "Your system last boot fail or post interrupted Please enter setup to load default and reboot". The board is an asus P5N-D. I press F1 to blow past the error and all is well until the next cold boot. Restarts are fine, no errors at all.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.10 But Can't Use 2.6.35-22

Oct 21, 2010

I upgraded a week ago to ubuntu 10.10 (amd64). I was unable to boot in 2.6.35-22 so I have been using 2.6.32-25. I tried again last night after installing updates to 2.6.35-22. Still no luck.I gave up since this was much like what happened a week ago and I couldn't find any solutions then. (I ran memtest then.)

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.04 And It's DOA?

Nov 12, 2010

The software manager has been nagging me to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 for some time now. I finally gave in and clicked on Upgrade. After the upgrade completed, my computer won't start. It just flashes Ubuntu for a split second and goes to a black screen. I happen to have the 10.04 CD from Canonical, and I tried that, and it won't launch the installer either; just a logo and a black screen. Since I can't even get to the terminal to diagnose and fix whatever's wrong, I'm installing 9.10 from the CD that I ordered from Canonical a long time ago. I went through all the graphical options just like the first time I installed 9.10, and it's in the process of installing right now.

I don't really have time to futz with it because I need my laptop for when I go and visit my mum for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll try after the holidays if I can get some feedback on what might have gone wrong with 10.04.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded 9.10 To 10.04 Now Cannot Boot

May 27, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.04 But Cannot Use Kernel 2.6.32-22.32+

Jun 20, 2010

I had upgraded to 10.04 but can not use kernel 2.6.32-22.32+, I had to go back to kernel 2.6.31-21. because of the default video driver had change from the one kernel to the other, and I do not know how the correct it. In 2.6.32-22 the font would change and to a smaller size and I can barely view anything because it looks like some two year old puke a box of crayons all over the screen.

Second issue is it does not matter what power-saving mode I am in, in 5 minutes time it with go into suspension. Or right after coming out of hibernate, it will go into suspension indefinitely and no coming out of it and must to a hard boot.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 10.10 - Now No Sound?

Dec 4, 2010

While using Ubuntu 10.04 my system worked perfectly, now that I've upgraded via the Upgrade Manager, there is no sound on my system. My computer is very Ubuntu friendly, as I've never had this problem with any other version of Ubuntu. What can I do? If I need to reinstall 10.04, or roll back to 10.04, how do I do that? If I can fix by reinstalling 10.10 how do I do that. I dual boot with Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 10.10.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded From 10.10 To 11.04 And Now Can't Boot?

May 17, 2011

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.

Ubuntu Installation :: Fail Installation, Now Windows Blue Screen Of Death?

Mar 9, 2011

I just finishing burning ubuntu on my laptop and was getting ready to partition my disk to allow space for ubuntu. I restarted my computer and when it was restarting ubuntu logo came up (as it booted from the disc). I was not wanting to install it at this moment so i was waiting for it to load then cancel it(just like a windows installation).It then froze and became pixelated with green and white colours.I thought it was nothing maybe just an error in teh disc. I waited 5-10 minutes then held the power button to shut it off. I then went to settings in the bios and changed it to boot from hdd first. After restart, windows began to load for like 3 seconds then blue screen. I dont know what went wrong or why this is happening.During installation of Ubuntu on my second try I keep getting:sudo: can't read /etc /sudoers: Input/Output errorsudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quittingWhat are the odds of me still having my windows 7 data?and could Hiren's boot cd help?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installation Fail - Removing Gdm-guest-session ?

Feb 7, 2010

I just downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu and went to install it on a Pentium 4 desktop that previously had XP on it. I get the main setup screen where it allows you several options including installation. Once I select installation, it appears to be installing but then comes up with a message that includes the following: "removing gdm-guest-session" It will not do anything else and the machine appears to go into sleep mode. When I try to shut it down, it appears that the kernel had loaded. Any ideas why the normal installation isn't continuing?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installation On External Hard Drive Fail

Jan 10, 2011

My original intention was to install a distribution of Ubuntu onto an external hard drive so i can use it on different computers. I first downloaded and burned a copy of Ubuntu 10.10 and booted my Acer laptop to it. I then plugged in my external hard drive and tried to install ubuntu onto it by partitioning the external hard drive. After I did that, I booted from the external hard drive on my laptop and it ran the new distribution i created. However, when I tried to boot it from a different computer it said something like "partition not found." So the next time I tried to install ubuntu onto the external hard drive with out partitioning it, using the entire drive. This is what started to cause problems.

Now when I start up my laptop without the external hard drive plugged in i get "error: no such device: xxxx..... grub rescue>. When I start it up with the hard drive plugged in a grub comes up with the new installation, my old ubuntu installation, and my old windows vista.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 9.10 And Now At A Dead Screen?

Jan 12, 2010

I've got a toshiba A135 series. I installed 9.10 from a live cd, and the installation process went fine.

When I rebooted the computer, it loaded up giving me the option to select one of the following:

Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Memory text (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

I chose the first one, hit enter and the computer went to a black screen with the cursor up in the top left corner blinking away. Then nothing. I've read that this distribution is giving folks a lot of trouble. Has anyone had this same thing happen to them after a clean install?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 9.10 - Only See A Black Screen?

Feb 5, 2010

So I decided to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 today, I was quite sure there wouldn't be no problems. Well, at least not in the installation, and apparently the system works well too, but there's just one thing...When I boot to the new kernel (2.6.31-19), it does show the new white Ubuntu-logo, but after it's gone, some text flashes through extremely fast, and after that the screen turns black, having two small and white horizontal lines on top of the screen. Soon after this, I can hear the login-window sound. I can log in by pressing enter, and then typing my password, and soon after I press enter again, I can hear the login sound. But still, the screen is black, having those same white horizontal lines on top of the screen, making the use of computer "quite" hard.Right now I'm using the older kernel, but the problem is that the sounds won't work, the resolution is still low like when I had 9.04 (problems with Intel hardware), and CD's won't still be read when inserted into the CD-drive.Here's my "lspci" in case someone wants to know of my hardware a little:

Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
