CentOS 5 :: GDM Delay At Startup?
Mar 5, 2010I'm having a problem with GDM very similar to the one described in the thread below, though they did not find a solution.
[URL]
Basically when I boot the machine I first see the terminal login, then after a moment I get what looks like some graphical corruption followed by GDM appearing.
I've already attempted reinstalling GNOME and X, then manually reinstalling GDM, but none have solved the problem. I'm currently in the process of enabling boot logging as described in the thread, so I'll post that soon.
Ubuntu :: How To Delay Personal Applications On Startup
Jul 28, 2010I use to auto start Firefox and Thunderbird. I would like to add others but using a delay. For instance, Firefox starts with 10 seconds of delay, Thunderbird with 30 second an so on. I tried to make a script using "sleep" command, but I am not expert and nothing worked. So, do you know if already exist an application that does this if not, are you able to show me how to create the script?

May 11, 2011After GRUB 2 comes up (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10) and I choose the OS to boot, there is about a 5 second delay where nothing appears to happen after I make the selection -- no disk activity. It happens consistently every time I boot. Again, this is after I choose the OS to boot, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the standard delay to allow me to choose the appropriate OS.Is there a good way to troubleshoot this and determine what is causing the delay?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Keyboard Doesn't At First Startup?
Apr 19, 2010Problem one: My keyboard wasn't working. Solution one: Needed a new xorg.conf file.
Problem two: How to open a programme in terminal without rendering the terminal unresponsive until that programme is closed. Solution two: Append a '&' at the end of the command. For example: gedit test-file & [/SOLVED]
The problem is, my keyboard doesn't respond when I first boot into Ubuntu. None of the keys seem to work except the 'power' key (which helps me turn this laptop on or off). During the second boot, I incessantly press the space bar hoping for something to happen. Only when the boot process completes and I see my desktop does the keyboard, finally, respond. That is precisely how I'm typing this very moment. I had not faced this problem on Windows. I use a laptop (an old one but not too old).
Nothing happens during the first boot regardless the key I press on any time.
It is a nuisance to restart my laptop and periodically strain my space bar for the keyboard to respond on the second boot (It refuses to respond on the first boot, regardless of what I do).
When I, sometimes, open files using gedit through terminal by typing: ~$ gedit PATH, what happens is that I am then unable to use any other commands on the same terminal until I close gedit or open another terminal. I can type in the terminal but nothing happens until I exit gedit. I would like my terminal to be responsive whilst I am working on gedit simultaneously. I hope it is not impossible...

Ubuntu :: Keyboard And Mouse Inactive At Startup?
Sep 2, 2010When booting up my system today, it got until the login screen, but both keyboard and mouse were inactive. The login window had a triangle (as if to start a video) that I cannot remember having seen before. what is going on and how to get in? I am running Lucid Lynx and KDE.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mouse And Keyboard Not Recognized On Startup?
Dec 4, 2010Sometimes when I reboot, I go to log on only to find that the mouse won't move and the keyboard does nothing. Well, the mouse moves, it's not glued to the desk or anything. But it doesn't move the cursor. The first few times this happened, I found that it was a music player or other USB device plugged in that somehow created confusion or something. So if I unplugged them and booted up again, everything was fine. And by booting up again, I mean I have to hold down the power button and forcibly shut the thing off, since I obviously can't do it the nice way with no mouse or keyboard.
Anyway, it's been doing it now more often, even with nothing plugged into the front USB ports. But I have found that if I disconnect my external hard drive, it boots up fine again. But that's obnoxious, because that hard drive is online as much as the computer itself, because it's my main repository for files. So I have to unplug the USB from the back of it, hold the cable so it doesn't fall behind the desk, turn on the computer, and then log in one-handed while I hold the cable (because if I just plug it back in before the desktop shows, it doesn't mount properly).
And I know it's an Ubuntu thing rather than a general computer thing because the bios options work just fine. In fact, the little NumLock light is on until the moment that Ubuntu starts up and shows the login dialog.
Ubuntu :: Bluetooth Keyboard/mouse At Startup
Feb 27, 2011I have a MS bluethooth keyboard/mouse, and a USB bluetooth dongle
In 10.1 I can add both with no problems - but I have to explicitly tell ubuntu to connect to the devices at each machine reboot, which means plugging in a wired mouse first
Does anyone know how I can set the machine to connect automatically at every startup to both my keyboard and my mouse? I found a set of instructions here:

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Stops Working On Startup
Apr 15, 2011Sometimes Ubuntu 10.04 will get into a state where the system stops booting when it apparently attempts to initialize the USB keyboard (keyboard goes dead and never lights up again)(Saitek Eclipse II keyboard).
It either works, or doesn't work consistently regardless of reboot. I don't know what makes it stop working. (Or start working) Recovery mode doesn't work either. Or the saved -21 kernal.
I have an ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 and have the -30 generic kernal.
I can dual-boot into WinXP just fine.

Feb 12, 2010As the title say, I'm having this odd problem, consistently, if I disconnect the USB keyboard from the box, it hangs after initializing md0 (raid of 10 sata disks).. The cursor blinks, but it never gets further, I've had it hanging like that for a day (I started the box before I went to school, and when I got home, I found that it never booted completely)
If I connect the keyboard, the box boots fine..
Ubuntu :: XFCE - Configuring Startup Apps / Adding Custom Keyboard

5. I restarted laptop and all my applications re-opened after restart. I do not want that. How to disable this?
OpenSUSE Install :: Deleted TMP - USB Mouse And Keyboard Not Working On Startup
Jul 14, 2010Was running out of room on / and set in Yast to delete /tmp on startup. Also deleted /var/log and /var/tmp while logged in. Rebooted and now mouse and keyboard (both USB) not working. Keyboard works on grub menu. Also works now in XP. Tried reconnecting (sync & plug unplug) different usb ports and nothing. Gave it a few minutes on startup and still nothing. Plugged in a PS2 keyboard and the lights just blink after startup and it will not work either.

Apr 19, 2011this may not be the right place to ask this, but my sister has a macbook and the keyboard does not want to work. i have looked online and i see that the main cause of this problem is in Leopard (correct me if im wrong).

Also, how would i go about booting into a linux cd? since u need to enter some keyboard keys at startup and assuming that won't work, is there another way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: High I/O Wait After Every Reboot?
May 19, 2010The Machine
Core 2 Duo E4600
2GB DDR2 RAM (1 stick)
Intel ICH10R based motherboard (tried an ICH9R aswell)
4-port SATA controller (PCI Sil 3114)
O/S: Ubuntu Desktop x64 10.04 LTS (using 'desktop' because I like having a remote desktop)
The Storage Setup Disks: Assorted selection of 9 disk. 750GB, 1000GB and 1500GB Seagate and Western Digital disks. The disks are joined through a standard LVM2 configuration. I don't know the LVM term, but normally you'd call it a JBOD setup. On that LVM device, I've put a cryptsetup device, made with the LUKS tools (aes-xts-plain 256) On the cryptsetup device, I've created and mounted an EXT4 partition.
All in all, a completely standard LVM2 and LUKS setup, running EXT4. After a reboot, I proceed to unlock my cryptsetup encryption device, and then mount the EXT4 partition. All is well, the mount is accessible and everything looks fine. I then try to send a file to the mount, via Samba. After a few hundred MB written, the I/O wait goes berserk. It stays at 50% (dual core setup remember). The system becomes unresponsive to network commands (can't browse samba) for about 5-10 minutes. When it finally responds, the I/O wait is gone and everything is now fine. I can write and read hundreds of GB's of data without any issues at all. I can benchmark and stress all disks perfectly fine and no logs are showing disk errors.
I tried monitoring my disks with 'iostat -d 2' while the I/O wait was happening, and there is some slight Blk_read/s activity on 1 disk at a time. First for example /dev/sda is showing a little Blk_read/s acitivty, then it jumps to the next disk, and when every disk has show that slight Blk_read/s activity (500-800 or so) the problem is gone and the I/O wait is no more. I've tried changing motherboards, switching disks around on the controllers, checking individual disks, replacing disks and I've tried different versions of Ubuntu. The problem however persists. I could see it being a network issue, possibly a driver issue. But since the NIC is a standard RTL8111 on-board it seems unlike that the problem wouldn't be more widespread since this NIC is litterally being used everywhere. I did change my motherboard, so a faulty NIC seems unlikely twice in a row.

Apr 30, 2011I applied all updates to my Kubuntu 10.04 installation, and shutdown and went to bed. Booted up this morning and found:
[code]...
This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel. lets re-install GRUB. So I booted up my live CD, and ran:
sudo GRUB
find /boot/grub/stage1
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
sudo shutdown -r now
Same error. So I started looking around, and most complaints of this particular error seem to be dual boot environments, which I found rather odd, as I have never dual booted this machine.....

Fedora :: Proliant G4 Becomes Non-responsive @ 100% Wait?
Jul 1, 2011I've installed both Fedora 15 x64 and Fedora 14 x64 on an HP Proliant DL380 G4 with the HP SmartArray SCSI controller, 2x146GB UW320 SCSI drives.The server was running RH v4 with a hardware RAID 1 with uptime of 400+ days with no issues.I broke the HW RAID and made 2x volumes and software RAID. I have another identical server with 4x 146GB UW320 SCSI drives with Fedora 12 x64 and SW RAID, so I figured 14/15 should be the same process.What happens is the server runs great for a while, but when I leave it for a few hours, it becomes non-responsive. I've re-installed 15 and 14 multiple times now and also installed NRPE, which shows load increasing to the point to where the server is non-responsive. It hits high load levels (as reported by NRPE). The load levels appear to be increasing over time. Such as last night:
log off at midnight, load average 0/0/0
2:03 am - WARNING - load average: 9.91, 8.85, 6.75
3:03 am - WARNING - load average: 16.91, 15.86, 14.47

Ubuntu Servers :: Hdd Hiccups - Wait At 99%, Iostat Util At 99% For NO Reason?
Jan 28, 2010I use this machine as a samba server with one small IDE hdd for system and one large SATA hdd (1.5TB) hooked via 4xSATA PCI card. The machine has 1.5GB RAM, and is also to run 2 ktorrent clients inside two Xvncs.The problem is, that even when ktorrent is doing nothing I observe A LOT of hdd activity to the point where movies or even mp3s stored on this server played via samba on a windows machine "stutter". E.g. smplayer will repeat 5 second piece a few times before moving on to the next piece... and it goes on for a good 10 minutes, once it starts.Even browsing directories is slow to the point where it takes 5-20 seconds to show the content in Total Commander (equivalent of Midnight Commander for windows).I am not sure how I can track what is really happening. Why would ktorrent clients create a massive I/O when there's virtually no traffic to/from them? (I have total of 1kB/s down and 10kB/s up while taking the masurements below).Or is there something wrong with the hdd? I had to send back the first one I got, it had plenty of bad sectors (this one does not though, as far as I can tell no data loss occured, just performance sucks).Here's some diagnostic data, please let me know if there's anything else I should check.
