Ubuntu :: Jaunty Live CD Not Booting / Screen Hangs When The Loader Reaches About 10% In The Blue Bar?

May 19, 2009

For the first time, I booted up a Kubuntu live CD on a laptop (850 MHz, 40 GB HD, 256 MB RAM). Earlier releases (< 9.04) boot up fine but it does not. It hangs up right on the splash screen and I can view nothing but a blinking cursor on the console screen. The screen hangs when the loader reaches about 10% in the blue bar. No further information can be provided when there is just a blinking cursor at the console. The CPU shows no activity. The CD boots up fine on other computer. How do I go on installing Kubuntu? Is it a good option to use the Ubuntu Server CD and install all the Kubuntu desktop software on it once it is installed (Server edition is not live disk, and I do not have an alternate install CD)?

Fedora :: 11 Hangs On The Blue Screen With The F Bubble In The Middle - On Boot Up

Jul 28, 2009

I'm a bit of a nube with Linux. Have had it installed and Acer Veriton for a while but after last yum update it now hangs on the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I can login remotely OK but am not sure what to look for. It seems to be something X11 related but I'm not sure. I would post the relevant logs but am not sure which ones are associated with this problem.

Red Hat / Fedora :: 11 Hangs At The Blue Screen With The F Bubble In The Middle On Boot Up

Jan 6, 2010

I have installed Fedora 11 and have been using it for about a 4 months now. Everything has been working just fine until this morning when I booted up the computer and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited about 10 minutes without any change to the system. I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.

Ubuntu :: Can't Find Any Boot Loader. Screen Black When Booting

May 7, 2011

I recently installed Win 7 in a 4 partition hardrive. sda1 was some recovery partition. sda2 said "System Reserved". sda3 was my ext4 ubuntu partition. sda4 was my win7 partition. When I installed win7 I could only boot to win7 so I got onto ubuntu's tut for recovering grub and I attempted to recover it and I think I failed. When I boot I just go to a black screen. I since then deleted my sda1 & sda2 partitions (I really hope system reserved was not needed.) I'm still not 100% sure how the bios knows to boot straight to grub when it boots. What is the first thing on the hard drive that a bios looks for?? Anyways, the only access I have to a functioning comp is through a 10.04 live cd.

Ubuntu Installation :: Blinking Line On Screen When Booting From Live USB

Nov 7, 2010

I am trying to run Ubuntu from a live USB, everything seems to be great until I get to the part where the GUI should come up. Then I get this screen. It's a little hard to see, but it's basically a white bar at the top and black underneath. The black is flickering a lot and the flickering can stay for a short while (30-120 seconds) even after I have rebooted into windows. Sometimes the bar at the top is another solid color (purple,blue, orange, usually white though), I think it is putting my monitor in a strange version of it's self test.

When it is unplugged the monitor while cycle through full screens of different colors. I have tried Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop AMD64, 10.10 i386, and the latest Fedora to see if another distro had different results. I have also tried 2 other USB drives. I am using Universal USB Installer 1.8.0.8 to make the drives. My own searches have found some problems with graphic drivers for the GeForce 8800 GTX, but they a bit dated. I have tried adding vga=vesa to the boot arguments, I am not sure if I did it right or not, but it resulted in a black screen with a blinking line instead and no flickering.

System specs:
AMD Phenom II 740BE (unlocked to Quad Core @ 3.4Ghz)
ASRock Extreme3 870
WD Caviar Black 640GB 7200RPM 6.0Gb/s
GSkill 4GB PC1600
GeForce 8800 GTX
Dell 3007WFP

Ubuntu :: Booting Into Live Environment Screen Is Extremely Dark?

Apr 18, 2011

I have a Gateway NV59C09u laptop, I tried running both maverick and the latest beta of natty as live usb's to no avail. It boots fine, but at the first screen the light is so dark that I can't really read anything nor see the mouse pointer, I can just barely make out a window-looking thing. Trying to increase the brightness using my F-keys doesn't do anything.

It's gotta be some kind of graphics related issue, because booting the alternate iso works fine. If I could figure out a way to boot the ubuntu-desktop live image via a different video driver that would probably work, but I'm not sure how to do that (ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing).

Ubuntu Servers :: 9.04 Jaunty Hangs While Sftp Is Active And Dynamic IP Changes?

Feb 1, 2010

I have this strange problem which I am unable to web search on and not sure what to do next. My Linux knowledge is between basic to intermediate but I know how to troubleshoot general hardware problems.

My problem is that Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64-bit hangs while SFTP is active and dynamic IP changes. For example, I SFTP into my home server and transfer file then suddenly my ISP decides to renew my IP and give me a new IP while my SFTP client is still uploading files to my home server. This causes my SFTP client to stop working. Upon checking, my router is still running with a new IP lease from my ISP. My Linux box still powers on but typing anything from the keyboard does not make it "wake up" and put things on the monitor. Nothing seems to make it respond and the only way is to get about it is to power off and on. During that time, you cannot SSH into the server as there is no respond. SFTP into the server is not possible too because connection fails.

The server has all new hardware, latest BIOS, etc. Memtest86 shows no errors after running for more then 5 hours. I am unable to find anything out of the norm in /var/log/kern.log or in dmesg. All hardware seems to be working.

When I think about it, I tend to think OpenSSH (probably that is the default package in Jaunty) is causing this system hang whenever there is an interrupted connection from the outside world. However, I fail to agree with this is because I am sure the daemon and Linux can tolerate this situation without resorting to system hang. FYI, I have installed vsftp as well but this should not be a problem.

Fedora Installation :: Blue Background Booting Instead Of Purple One Of Ubuntu

Sep 5, 2011

make my own home server to play with. While reading a guide I found out about a package of software called Amahi. Very easy and yet so powerful says the site. That's what I need! I looks cool and indeed pretty easy. I already start smiling because I have this old Ubuntu 11.04 computer here. Then I see that Amahi runs best on Fedora 14 and that the support for Ubuntu is still in Alpha phase. No problem, let's install F14 then. I put everything right in the BIOS. I downloaded the DVD iso image, burned it and put it in my drive. Nothing happens, soon I realise that drive only accepts CD's. I quickly change it with a CD/DVD drive of another computer, but still nothing happens. Then I read about this LiveUSB thing. I do everything needed and change boot sequence to Removable. It still keeps booting Ubuntu on Hard Disk 0. My last resort: Fedora Live i686 iso on a CD. Things go as expected. What am I doing wrong? I just want to see that (probably) blue background of Fedora booting instead of that purple one of Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE Install :: Booting After 11.3 Install - Hangs At A Blank Screen ?

Jun 8, 2011

I recently tried to upgrade my openSuSe 11.1 system using the instructions at:

SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE

I successfully got the system to 11.2, but the upgrade from 11.2->11.3 went awry. The installation froze during the update, and I had to start it over. The first issue I had to deal with was the fact that rpm had been upgraded and zypper hadn't, so zypper wouldn't function because older rpm files that it would search for had been deleted. After rolling back rpm to a previous version, I managed to complete the upgrade to 11.3 and everything looked good. However, when I rebooted the system, it hangs at a blank screen. More precisely, the system seems to get through all of the BIOS stuff and then hang while loading the OS (I assume). Although I've worked on Windows boxes for a long time, I'm a complete novice at OS installations/upgrades for Linux systems, so I'm not even quite sure where to begin to troubleshoot this. Ideally, I'd like to be able to fix the installation on the system to save the data on the hard drives, but I realize this might not be possible. My first thought was to use a recovery tool that I'd seen on some Linux installation CDs, but I see that for openSuSe 11.3 and on that utility has been dropped. I can, however, use the disk to get to the "Rescue" command prompt, so maybe there's something I can do from there?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Jaunty ATI Xserver No Backfill After Jaunty-proposed Update

Jan 9, 2010

Been using since summer 2009 the xserver no backfill from PPA: [URL] and it was working fine with my ATI video card. No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!

Ubuntu :: Not Booting - Reinstalled The Grub Boot-loader Onto Different Partitions

Jan 2, 2011

Computer StatisticsiMac (Model No. A1225) Dual Boots Mac OS X Partition Layout/dev/sda1 = EFI /dev/sda2 = Macintosh HD (HFS Format with Journaling) Free Space (32 GB) I had the linux installation program automatically partition the free space into three partitions. I forget what they were, but I know they are correct.

I tried doing a rescue installation, and reinstalled it many times with different settings. I even tried a manual partition according to instructions from the internet and reinstalling the grub boot-loader onto different partitions. I have reinstalled it at least 5 times!

Ubuntu :: Blue Screen Of Death After Using 9.10 From USB Stick?

Mar 21, 2010

I created a USB stick with Ubuntu 9.10, used it to boot a dell Inspiron 1550 laptop which has WinXP. I tested 9.10, everything went fine out of the box so to speak. But when I went back and tried to boot XP again I got a blue screen. XP starts in safe mode and no apparent problems are detectable but it will not start in Win normal mode anymore.

Ubuntu :: Lucid Screen 'blue' And Dark?

Just upgraded to 10.04. Screen is now unusable. It's like looking at it through a blue filter. It seems to be averaging the brightness. if there is a large dark area of screen real estate the paler sections getbrighter.The very bizarre thing is, if I switch user, whilst the theme is different, the brightness problem is gone...

Ubuntu :: Blue Screen Error Always Occurs?

Feb 8, 2011

I esablished a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on separate partitions. Then, as I realised that Windows 7 was rubbish and Ubuntu annoyed me by losing wireless connectivity after an update, I decided to go back to Windows XP for a while. So I did what I probably shouldn't have done, and formatted the partition (or so I thought) with Ubuntu on, using Windows.

Now, on booting up the system, all I can get is the Grub Rescue prompt and nothing in the Bios menus seems to be of any assistance.

I've tried booting XP from a CD, but a blue screen error always occurs at the same point in the installation. I wonder if I should make a CD/external drive with Ubuntu on, reinstall it, and go from there?

Ubuntu :: XP Cd Boots But Gets A Blue Screen Afterwards Downloaded A Windows 7?

Jan 25, 2011

I deinstalled Ubuntu today. Just deleted the partitions etc and thought it would be fine, but now this weird grub thing is telling me:

error: no such partition

grub rescue>

I am at the end of my wits: I downloaded a liveCD, which will not boot. My XP cd boots but gets a blue screen afterwards I downloaded a windows 7 live cd which did not help either

Problem is, I can't load my bios anymore to change the boot order... Didn't even know Grub was part of linux...

Point is, I got a presentation tomorrow and all my important files are on that laptop. . . the setroot=(hd0,0) gives no response. I tried a bunch of other commands but I keep getting unknown command...
