Ubuntu :: Keyboard Not Found - Press F1 To Continue
Jun 13, 2010
I got this keyboard no found error...no problem since my grub menu 1st entry is ubuntu...so once I got to load ubuntu, the keyboard magically works.
Basically when booting, it show "Keyboard not detected, press f1 to continue" then at the grub menu, I am not able to select win xp or anything. So by default 1st entry is ubuntu so I can boot into ubuntu.
Once ubuntu is loaded, I can use the keyboard to enter my password....
So I was wondering if the cmos battery is flat...but still why can't my key board be detected when booting up?
I'm randomly getting 'Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery...' or something like that at boot ((it flashes very quickly)- If I don't press anything, I'm prompted for my password (I configured it to login with password) and the desktop loads...
I'm using Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 -> Ultimate Edition Home
I was using my 1TB hdd to dual-boot linux, windows, and for storage...Yesterday, I imaged the linux partition, and restored it to an approximately 66GB partition I created on a 150GB hdd...Besides the 66GB partition, the rest of the 150GB hdd is 'unallocated space'... That's when the above message started...Below are screenshots of the fstab and partitions as they are now...
I have just assembled my computer and installed Fedora 13. After rebooting I get Error 25: Disk read error, Press any key to continue. When I do that the systems goes back to the GRUB window where I continue to press enter and it goes back to the error after a while.
Here's my problem: While choosing to compress certain folders from within Windows 7, I marked the boot manager as 'compressed'. Now, when I try to boot, I'm not able to boot into Windows 7, or any other OS (I get an error: bootmgr is compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to continue, which restarts the system and the same cycle continues.
I have a Windows 7 + open SUSE + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wubi install boot setup. To complicate things, its a laptop, and the DVD drive is conked. Is there any way I can boot into any of my OS's? If not using a live boot, can I, perhaps make a bootable USB flash drive, boot into it and uncompress the boot manager ? Note: I'm typing this from another desktop, and I do not have Windows installed on this.
/ed: Used this: [URL]..questions/137877/decompressing-files-on-an-ntfs-volume-from-linux/137906#137906 Still no go, getting the same error message.
I recently upgraded Ubuntu, however I have two problems with the upgrade.
1) When ever starting up my computer, after selecting my operating system (from grub2) I receive an error stating "error no argument specified press any key to continue" after pressing any key my computer starts up. How can I remove (fix) the error?
2) immediately after Firefox starts it freezes. I see the screen saying that Firefox has crashed but I am unable to click on any of the choices (restore session, start new session). I tried uninstalling it from the repository and then reinstalling it, however, that had no effect.
I have no problem removing Firefox completely (and losing all of my preferences) in order to solve the problem. The only problem is that I do not know how to reinstall Firefox (other then the way I tried). I also have no problem reinstalling Ubuntu, and I might even do so I just want to wait until I am sure that that would no mess up grub any more.
I was downloading to a USB drive and went to continue the download without the USB drive plugged in. "Save location not found " etc. So I plug in the drive now it wants to start all over. How do I make it start from where it left off. There are no transmission files on the ISB drive dir. that seem to hold the info and the transmission "queue" has reset as if I had not downloaded any data yet.
when I press sound +/- button of my keyboard this gui thingy appears on the middle of my screen. Its transparent black, there is a speaker icon on the middle of it this thingy; [URL] ps: I don't want to kill or close it, I just want to know what is it. Which process which software and how can I hack it
I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 I got last week. I had Win7 preinstalled and I wanted Ubuntu for university so I installed that too. I came out of Ubuntu after installing it and went into Windows for something. I shut down but the next morning - ever since I power up the laptop - I get this message saying "Module name not found. Aborted. Press any key to exit". Dell tech support were unaware of this problem previously but they have offered to come round and put the pc back to factory settings. Do you think this is the only way I can go forward from this?
I installed Debian lenny 5.04 today through netinstall. After install it refuses to boot and says, "No bootable device found - "insert and press any key".
how to dual boot XP, Win7 and F13? I ask this because I tried it a few weeks ago and I couldn't boot into XP. I installed XP, Win7 and Fedora in that order and when I tried to boot into XP from grub I got the message Code: Boot Mgr not found. Press Cntrl-Alt-Del to restart
I was able to find a multitude of different keyboard fonts through preferences>keyboard>korean. However, the Korean keyboard is English only, and there's no Korean font. I would like to have access to the Korean font.
I'm installing Ubuntu Karmic Koala via Wubi. Tried many times, still didn't work. It said "Cannot find the ISO /ubuntu/install/installation.iso bla bla bla..."
I'm not sure why but I've reboot the computer properly. Anyone know why is this happening?
One thing, please don't say "Do a real Ubuntu installation" as I need my brother's permission first before making a partition and install it, in case of anything happen.
I run a headless Ubuntu file server which I access remotely via ssh or using VNC. After reboot, short of moving monitors around, is there anyway to start the GUI and continue using VNC as I normally would? I still rely on the GUI to get done what I need for the most part.
I had some problems with the latest kernel (didn't play well with Warcraft)... So, I when I rebooted; I selected an older kernel in Grub Worked perfectly. How can I get rid of the newer kernel, and continue to use the old one?
I have been trying to install on my toshiba satellite c655 laptop the ubuntu operating system. Anytime it gets to where i can use it as a live DVD and I would want to install, it gets to stage 3 of 7 and gets stuck. No error messages are given, the install dialog can be minimized and other task done but the installation will never continue. Anyone with idea about how to go round it.
I had a dual boot of Ubuntu 11.04 with Windows XP SP3. I formatted the ext4 partition of Ubuntu. Now when I start my pc, it says "Unknown Filesystem" and then gives me a grub command line. How can I get rid of that and just continue using my Windows?
I am trying to install some software through wine, but unfortunately the cd is not auto-mounting, is there a way I can manually mount the cd and continue installation?
Over the past two weeks my laptop has started locking up at random. I thought maybe it was a thermal issue, because I have an upgraded hard drive (put in 2 years ago) and once a month or so I might get a heat related lockup. I keep my fans running at high speed and the laptop elevated now and don't typically have an issue.
The freezing has started to become a daily occurrence now, and yesterday it locked up three times. I am able to move my mouse (unlike thermal lockups where everything goes down) but unable to click anything. The entire display freezes, and my cpu monitor doesn't continue to update.
I finally ssh'd into my laptop and was surprised to see it responding just fine. htop showed that my X-server was at 100%. When I killed it, X restarted automatically and promped me to log in. Everything is fine after this until the next lockup.
When I don't have access to ssh I have to hard-shutoff the laptop. That can't be good on this 5 year old macbook. I have done my system updates in the past two weeks that may have triggered this, but I don't remember anything specifically. I've tried all versions of my kernel that are installed but nothing, I have the intel video and have not had problems with it up until now.
2$ uname -a Linux macbook 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux 3$ lspci|grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Can anyone suggest something to try? I'm not sure how to go back to older versions of the the video drivers, but I'm not even sure if that is the issue. I did add the following to /etc/apt/sources.lst after the lockups started occuring:
Code: # X deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu lucid main #X-Updates PPA deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu lucid main #X-Updates PPA and did a full update, but this hasn't helped.
I'm just a newbie to this operating system. Even though I'm having some trouble, it still seems more sensible to me than Windows. I'd like to continue to use it, but I'd like to know why it doesn't work for me sometimes, and I'd like to see if I can't make it work better for me.
After I upgraded to 11.04 I've had a host of problems. My USB ports have intermittant trouble recognizing storage devices. My USB ports also have intermittant trouble recognizing my USB WiFi device. The VLC player will crash the Gnome Desktop whenever I use it. I still haven't figured it out.
I'm interested in the following question:
Why can't software and hardware that already works be insured to continue to work after an upgrade?
I would like to ask your opinion for a new C++ project.I just finished writing a chess engine in a software engineering lecture.I don't see any way to continue with that project and I would like some new ideas.I would prefer to start something on my one but suggestions about small open source projects that are already out there are welcome.
Today for strange reason, one of my Ubuntu 64 bit server Linux VM failed to start ? it stopped in the FSCK scan status with the error as attached. few days back I've added new hard disk successfully and format it as sdb5 without problem.
I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu Netbook edition (v10.10) on my (brand new, No other OS installed) Asus Eee PC 1215T. I've successfully booted from the flash drive and can "Try Ubuntu," and everything works when doing so, however when I try to install it, the installer freezes on the second screen, right after language selection. To be a little more specific, that's the screen with the checkmarks next to "has at least 2.5 GB available drive space," "is plugged in to a power source," and "is connected to the Internet."
After I hit the "Forward" button on this screen, I just get an infinite wait cursor. I can still freely check and uncheck the boxes, and click the "Quit" button, so it's not entirely frozen, but it just won't progress any further.
I had this *exact* same problem just over a week ago when I tried to install Ubuntu on my desktop, also using the flash drive method. I ended up using the Windows installer to get it installed on my desktop, but as the netbook doesn't have any OS installed, that's not an option this time.
I have downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 4 times from various sites and have burn the ISO on CD.Half way during the installation a message jums up concerning faulty CD or faulty CD ROM and that ubuntu can't continue coppying files from CD which in this case it doesnt apply, as my CD ROM is in good order.I have been dissapointed after noumerous tries installing UBUNTU.
I have a folder called VIDEO-TS filled with .vob files and other things. I did it before, but don't remember what I used to make it a regular dvd video. I tried Devede, but when I drag the folder to the app, it says "folder contains non-vob files and can't continue" or something like that.
I am running Debian squeeze and I am trying to install hplip-3.10.5 so I can use my new HP Photosmart C4750 printer.I downloaded the automatic installer and ran it and it gave me the following error message:
RE-CHECKING DEPENDENCIES ------------------------ error: A required dependency 'cups-image (CUPS image - CUPS image development files)' is still missing. error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. error: Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.
So I ran apt-get install cups-image and got the following:
raygo75@RayGo1:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install cups-image Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package cups-image
does the package "cups-image" exist? and if it does were can I find it. I have looked to no avail. I have posted a question on hplip seeing as that is were I got the script from.
I largely believe the name of the program is irrelevant, but if you must know, it is Qjoypad. Anyway, I follow the instructions, but an error is returned "libXtst is required to continue with the installation". Well, I have libXtst6.
