Ubuntu Networking :: Trendnet TEW-423 Halts The Boot Process?
Feb 10, 2010
I purchased the TEW-423/C1.1R based on posts which indicated it works with Ubuntu (or at least linux) out of the box. I wanted a card that was supported with native drivers - no messing with ndiswrapper and such. The Trendnet TEW-423 is posted as working out of the box with the Realtek chip RTL8185. My unit has the chip (RT8185). The posting is at [URL]...
With the card inserted, Ubu 9.04 and 9.10 freeze at boot time. 9.10 freezes when the logo appears, 9.04 freezes at the arrow which comes after the logo. Remove the card and full boot is enabled. Obviously this card is not working out of the box.

I'm trying to update an older laptop for my nephew. It was running Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) successfully.
However, after installing a clean copy of Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), the boot process halts almost immediately with a black screen. There is no blinking cursor and no hard-drive activity.
When I hold down the "Shift" key after the rebooting the computer, I'm able to edit the grub2 boot options.
When I remove the "quiet" boot option, I'm able to see about a page of text before the boot process halts and displays the black screen. Here is the last bit of text that appears just before the black screen:
Code:
...
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...
Done.
At this point, the font style changes slightly. Then the text is replaced by the solid black screen. There is no blinking cursor, and the hard drive activity ceases.
I've tried booting in rescue mode: This also halts at a solid black screen.
This is an older laptop: I had to boot the installation disc with the boot option "noapic" in order for the installation disc to run.
However, the installation seemed to run normally. I was able to finish installing the system. But, after removing the installer disc and rebooting, we were met with that solid black screen almost immediately after booting.
I used the minimal install disc: [URL]
I've verified the MD5 checksum for the disc image. And I've successfully used this same disc to install Ubuntu for my mother.
But my little nephew is left without a usable system.
Could we be missing a boot option?

I have been trying to get my Trendnet TEW-649UB wireless card to work on Karmic. I have ndiswrapper "installed", but it doesn't seem to be working. I have reinstalled ndiswrapper-utils 1.9 and ndiswrapper-common from synaptic, but not ndisgtk (the GUI for ndiswrapper). When I try to see if any drivers are installed using terminal (ndiswrapper -i) the terminal freezes on me.
Previously I tried using the help doc for installing Trendnet wireless drivers, but I was met with no success. After my first try using the help doc it seemed that ndiswrapper was working correctly and the driver was installed, but when I tried to connect to my network my wireless was listed as "device not managed". If this helps at all the current state of my /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
When I run iwconfig I get:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
but when I try to install the driver using ndiswrapper -i I get the message: driver net8192su is already installed Right now my computer is not even reading that the wireless card is avaliable. When I left click on the network icon I can only see that I am on a wired network {ifupdown (wlan0)}. My computer is dual booted with Vista and the card works there, but for some reason I am having trouble with Ubuntu.

After the login screen, the KDE icons appear.When it gets to "HDD" icon, it halts and the only option remaining is to reboot.I can't boot into the terminal environment. When I try that, I get an empty screen without text (maybe because of "quiet splash"?

I installed the driver using Ndiswrapper and it says that it installed correctly and that the hardware is present, but it still is not letting me connect to wireless. Network manager does not show any available wireless networks, just as if there were no wireless card installed at all. The wireless card works in windows. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
[code]...
it does not recognize any wireless installed, even though Ndiswrapper says that there is a successfully installed driver with the hardware present.

I have a computer with 2 internal harddrives installed. One (40gb) has windows 7 the other(20gb) has Linux 11.04. My wireless adapter trendnet tew424uv 0457:0163 works with win7. I cannot get it to work with Linux I have tried using ndiswrapper terminal and GUI forms. The GUI freezes the os while the terminal just displays the comands(-I, -m etc) I downloaded the drivers from the trendnet website.

I know that most people are using F12 and F13 but I just installed F10 on one of my machines. The Kernel is 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 and the GUI is Gnome 2.24.1.I have a Trendnet wireless card already installed in the machine from when it ran XP which is in the tew-421pc/tew-423pi family. Is there a device manager/hardware installer that I can use to set up the wireless card or does anyone know of a driver install program for this card?

I have a Trendnet TEW652BRP wireless router, HW/ V2.1R, FW/ V2.00b34. I have read that these routers had a problem, with the stock firmware, where port forwarding was concerned. And indeed, I do have some problems with it. Ie; canyouseeme.org can't see me when I open ports, and I am not on a proxy server. I have tried this with the appropriate exception rules (in/out) in ufw, and on the router settings with UPnP enabled and disabled. In the latter case, I also tried router firewall rules, port forwarding and access rules. Still could not see me (timed out in all cases).
Now, this being an area I have little experience with, I am not sure if this version of firmware was supposed to have fixed the PF problems. To the questions...
1. Has anyone here who had an analogous experience found a solution, with the stock firmware?
2. I have read about the DD-WRT option to flash the router firmware (which says fixes the issue), but I am wary. I believe this is a Linux based replacement firmware, which is not a bad thing in my book, but does anyone have any recommendations or heads up on issues with it, from experience, apart from what is commented in the documentation at [URL]

I have the following two lines at the bottom of my /etc/fstab
Quote:
//172.16.6.15/e /tmp/e cifs _netdev,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,gid=0 0 0
//172.16.6.15/e/Public /var/www/index/pub cifs _netdev,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,gid=0 0 0
My server address is 172.16.6.1.
If the destination (which is my workstation desktop) 172.16.6.15 is offline when the server tries to boot, the entire boot procedure halts with the following message: Unable to find suitable address. mountall: mount <destination> terminated with status 2 The problem is that my server runs headlessly, and every time something silly like this happens where you'd normally expect the OS to continue regardless, I'm forced to plug a monitor in and diagnose on console
So my question: Is there any way to make it proceed with the boot normally despite the host being unreachable? I could probably chuck a mount command into crontab or /etc/rc.local or a /etc/network/if-up.d script, but isn't this the way it really should be done (/etc/fstab)? If so, then we shouldn't expect the entire boot to halt just because a network share can't be mounted, right? While on the topic of a headless ubuntu server 10.10 not booting without some kind of intervention, I have yet another issue: If the server goes down without proper shutdown (power failure, for example) the grub menu displays the kernel choices and there's no countdown timer. Instead, I have to manually press enter to continue the boot. Is there any way around this? Clearly this should not be the case for a server distribution

All of a sudden my laptop decided to not bootup. It stops while loading syslogd. I started up in single user mode and added a few echo statements in rc.syslog so it looks like:
Code:
This means that execution of the script doesn't seem to get past the "/usr/sbin/syslogd" line. Well at least thats the case in the first 2-3 minutes. Afterwards my screen gets flooded with the next echo I placed "caught in the loooooop!".
Again, stating the obvious, the script reads on and gets caught in the while loop. obviously there is no /dev/log and something must have messed up the execution of syslogd. what could that be it?
Recently I was fiddling around with jackd and trying to setup a jack-rack on my laptop. To do that I had to recompile alsa-driver from scratch in order to include the virtual soundcard driver. I also had to rebuild the mainline kernel to add low-latency (I did not switch to kernel-rt). Overall, I've been running with a custom kernel more than 2 months now and never had a problem with syslogd startup. The new low latency custom kernel is just like the previous one but with only difference the low latency setting. With the low latency kernel I've been using the pc for approx a week and have done 5+ reboots. So the problem appeared now out of nowhere...
If I disable rc.syslog and I start the pc, and then start it up, syslogd with execute nicely and quickly as if there was no problem, ever...

Im new to the forum and to Ubuntu. I have a HP 'tablet' laptop which has no operating system installed and I was hoping to install Ubuntu. I downloaded ubuntu and the software to make it possible to boot from usb. I started the laptop up selected the option to boot from the usb. But now it says "marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle" and then on the next line it says "switching to clocksource hpet" and it has been like this for hours. The laptop specs are: Intel Core 2 CPU T5600 @ 1833MHz with 1GB of RAM.

I felt the urge to build my own "Incredible PBX" system, and in the process downloaded pbxinaflash-i386-5.4.iso which is based on CentOS 5.4. The PC that I'm using is an old desktop, and the onboard ethernet adapter is not working, so I installed Trendnet PCI Adapter (te100-pciwn h/w : 2.2 R), which used to work greatly under Windows XP. Since my on-board ethernet adapater doesn't work, I disabled "eth0" device, and I modified eth1 device to load during boot. But, for whatever reasons, eth1 fails to get the IP address. I thought the driver that is part of CentOS 5.4 may not be working, so I thought of building the driver from the files provided in the CD (that came with TrendNet adapter box).. and unfortunately my attempts to build the driver have also failed.
Following files are attached in the zip file
- basedata.R3721 (info collected by ./getinfo.sh all )
- Directory 2.2.X has "te100.c, makefile, kern_compat.h copying.txt" (These files came with the Trendnet CD)
- errors (makefile errors when tried to build te100 driver)
From what I understand, TrendNet TE100-PCIWN is based on "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139" chipset. How to get my ethernet adapater (eth1) connected to internet.

I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

Yesterday I was working on my laptop using the windows 7 partition. At some point it froze and I ended up just having to shutting it down by holding in the power button. When I started it up, it said something along the lines of "can't find bootable partition".
So I made myself a ubuntu flash-drive, and ran
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
This is my output.
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x74836e35 .....

Just installed Ubuntu 9.04 last night. All seems perfect except on shutddown. It seems to go through all shutdown processes but right about the time you expect the computer to turn off a message says: "system halted [4027.514883]" Have Googled it but no matches. If I just push the on/off button at that point it shuts off immediately

Ive tried to install ubuntu via wubi. When it boots and i select ubuntu it starts the final installation tasks. But halts with no rootfs defined and says i need to define one. However it wont continue to boot obviously so am unable to do so. My PC does have raid but its switched off in the bios. I know dual booting is one way to go but would prefer initially to have it in the file. I can boot into the demo version and there is an install option there but doesnt offer my boot disk.

I am having some issues installing Kubuntu 10.10 64bit, I have tried two ISO's from different mirrors, multiple writable disks (seriously I had to go buy another 20 pack) and the install halts at the exact same point each time.I have run multiple HDD checking tools using Hirens 9.9 boot CD, I have recreated and formated the partitions twice but still each time the install will stop at 61% stating there was an error copying files and to check the media.
I grabbed the ISO's from Kubuntu.org and the second one from the NZ mirror ftp.citylink.co.nz in the hopes that maybe the image came down corrupt - the disk check before installing cannot find anything wrong yet it still happens ... its very upside down face

I wish it was under better circumstances...very morning at 6:25am syslog-ng stops logging, right after it attempts to log rotate. its odd... the daemon doesnt die... it gets a new PID, but doesnt write the output to /var/log/syslog.Yet if I manually restart or reload syslog-ng it works great... its just like it doesnt like the logrotate...I have googled around and tried a few things...first I changed the postrotate in the logrotate.d/syslog-ng
--------/etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng---------
/var/log/syslog {
rotate 7

I have installed ubuntu 10.10 for a short time, now I meet a problem:I always leave for lunch and leave my computer without turning off. When I get back, it shows a window. after I input my password, I enter my system.Then It halts, the only thing what I can do is moving mouse. After halting for nearly one minute, it resumes to normal.I hope someone can tell me what happens.

I have installed Kubuntu Natty on a Toshiba laptop with an Intel Card on i386. Sites with flash video content (....., vimeo and the BBC's iplayer site) however don't work as expected: the video track stops while the sound carries on. Pressing the right mouse button in the video player screen makes the video continue immediately, but this is not the expected behaviour! I have also tried with Windows, and it works fine, so it is not a network problem. Audio seems to work fine. I'm attaching the output from lspci and that of Xorg.0.log that appears relevant to the intel driver. code...
