Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 9.10 Installed - Lost Tty1 To 6

Feb 22, 2010

I've installed up a copy of Kubuntu 9.10. I want to use it to play eve online and replace my copy of windows. So far I have managed to get it installed, got the video drivers and wine sorted, and got eve online to work with wine. I'm quite happy with myself up until odd things started to happen. Basically, I want to recompile my Nvidia driver to a newer version, I know how to do this, I need to press ctrl alt F1 to drop to terminal, kill kde and then install the driver, i've done it before without issue. However this time around something is wrong. I press ctrl alt F1 and the black terminal window pops up... but I have no option to log in, same for terminals 2 - 6.

I did this, and sure enough none of my tty processes are showing, i've basically lost my terminals , as far as my limited experience goes, getty is responsible for the terminals right? How do I reinstate my terminals and get to a point I can kill kde and get back to shell? I have no idea what i've done to get in this state. Also, as a side question, before all got screwed up and i did manage to launch eve online, I could run one client perfectly. However with 2 clients things got all choppy and laggy? why is this? I can run 2 quite happily under windows 7

Ubuntu :: Installed Dual Boot Fedora And Lost Kubuntu

Sep 19, 2009

I had Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.0 interface and i decided to try out fedora to see if i liked it and wanted to eventually switch. i've done so many dual boot systems with Kubuntu and not had any problems that i decided not to back up my system this time before running the installation. after running the installation and shrinking my hard drive (200 gb) by 80 gigs, i rebooted to find that Kubuntu was no longer bootable. the first time i booted into fedora, disk utility popped up with a message that said "1 or more hard drives is failing". i ran the test that it recommended and found no problems. then i ran the longer test and still found no problems. i've rebooted a few times and have not been able to see Kubuntu in the boot loader options. if you need any more information i will be happy to provide it. my question, obviously, is how can i retrieve my Kubuntu partition. it is still there but is not bootable.

General :: Installed Kubuntu Over Ubuntu

Jan 31, 2010

I'm kind of new to Linux even though I've played with it several times over the years. My question is this. I just installed Kubuntu from the SPM in Ubuntu and when I did a reboot, I can't login using my previous username and password. My assumption was that it would just use the same username and password from Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Installed OpenSUSE - Can't Boot Kubuntu

Dec 21, 2010

I have Win7, Kubuntu and a third OS (and home) partition for trying out others. I did Arch, Debian and Chakra without problems with triple booting. I skipped the bootloader installation/configuration step when installing those, booted into Kubuntu and ran update-grub to get the new one added to the boot list.

I used a separate partition for /boot (sda6), and have only one hard drive in this machine.

Following the same procedure (skip bootloader install) with openSUSE 10.3, I managed to loose the ability to boot Kubuntu.

I know the Kubuntu partition is fine (or at least still intact) and have since been able to get Windows added to the grub menu after a few attempts with grub-install and update-grub, which boots.

Ubuntu :: Installed Kubuntu Desktop And No Shutdown Or Restart In KDE

May 11, 2010

I just recently installed Kubuntu desktop onto Ubuntu and I don't have any shutdown or restart options shown in KDE, but they show up in Gnome. I initially installed Kubuntu using GDM instead of KDM and switched to KDM when I saw that my Gnome taskbars overlayed my KDE taskbars. To switch from GDM to KDM I used the following command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

After enabling KDM the terminal suggested a command to configure KDM, however I can't remember the command. I ran it and I got a message that KDM was already configured.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installed Kubuntu For The Wrong Archetecture

Jul 10, 2011

A couple weeks ago I became fed up with using Backtrack5 as a primary OS, as fun as it is, and installed Kubuntu 64-bit for AMD on a laptop with an intel chip. I didn't see an intel iso on Kubuntu's site right away, and I suppose I was too excited to try it to care. I have been having some problems with plugins working correctly, but i'm not even sure this architectural mixup is to blame for that.

To cut to the chase, should I be worried about installing kubuntu that was intended for AMD on a board with an intel chip? I figure i havent really done anything I can't easily redo yet, and if I want to reinstall, i'd like to do it before I cross that bridge!

Software :: Installed Kubuntu 9.04 Upgraded To 9.1 - APT Malfunction

Oct 31, 2009

I installed Kubuntu 9.04 recently which I thought was jaunty, but my apt sources list had Karmic Koala as the repos. Updater told me 9.1 was available so I used updater to upgrade my system. Normally I'd use apt-get dist-upgrade. Since then, apt-get / amarok and updater won't access the all the repos. Apt-get stalls at ip 32.1.3.136.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To Natty Fails - Kubuntu - Xubuntu Installed

Apr 29, 2011

I have a problem, because installation of ubuntu 11.04 will fail if I try to.

I have also Kubuntu and Xubuntu installed, which I regret a lot because I cannot uninstall them as well...

The problem is that I have installed a one-time-activation proprietary software so a fresh install is no option.

The error when upgrading is, that "xubuntu-desktop" cannot be marked for upgrade!

Ubuntu :: Installed, Lost Windows Install?

May 5, 2010

Tonight I decided I would install Ubuntu on my laptop, which also has windows 7 installed on it.I have two hard drives in the laptop, one 160GB in the "primary" bay and a 320GB in the "secondary" bay. My partioning got a bit screwed up when in installed windows (mostly because of laziness on my part) and the Ubuntu install just made the mess even bigger. The way it was setup before the Ubuntu install was this:Windows has a 55GB partition on the 320GB drive (yeah for some reason i am booting from the secondary drive, hence the quotes).This partition is bootable.

Following the windows partition is a 255GB storage partion, NTFSThere was 37GB of unused space at the beginning of the 160GB driveThere is a 122GB storage partition, NTFSBoth dives have a 49MB dell utility partition, FATAs you can probably tell, I really butchered the partitioning when installing windows.I took the 37GB partition on the first disk and split it into a 33GB partition for Ubuntu and a 4ish GB partition for the swapfile.After Ubuntu was installed it worked fine, but I cannot see the windows install in GRUB.This brings me to my question: How can I make GRUB see my windows install that is on a separate hard drive than the Ubuntu install?I know I could resolve the issue by wiping everything and doing it properly, but I really dont want to have to do this if there is an easy fix that will let me boot windows again.All of the windows files and whatnot are still there because I can see them from inside Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Installed XP-SP3 On Second HD, Lost Ability To Boot?

Sep 6, 2010

I've been running Jaunty on my drive D: with XP Professional on a separate partition. Today I formatted a different drive, C:, which had previously shown up in GRUB as XP Home Edition, and placed a new XP Professional on it.

Now when both HDs are connected, C: boots without GRUB starting, and when I disconnect C:, the GRUB on D: starts, but cannot find the XP Professional NTDLR. I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time here with this; I'm mostly just curious as to what may have happened?

Ubuntu :: Can Mount A Installed Hard Drive - Lost All My Stuff

Jan 24, 2010

I was trying to install a new hard drive and in the process have managed to not only format my old hard drive but lost all my stuff as well. I am running a live CD but unable to mount the said hard drive. I Know its there.

fdisk tells me:

As you can see its still registering as /dev/sda, I am unable to mount this to run a undelete program on it.

a e2fsck tells me

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
