Ubuntu :: Plymouth Prob When Netbook On Battery?
Oct 18, 2010
I'm using 10.10 ubuntu @ Aser Aspire one D250. I had some issues with black screen booting (plymouth) and I fixed them with this:
Code:
sudo su
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
exit
It's fixed and ok when I'm on AC Adapter only. When my laptop booting from battery the problem with black boot screen remains. Why? Is there another option for graphics or plymouth when the AC Adapter is plugged?

Installed Lucid netbook-remix on my Aspire One with SSD and 3 cell battery last night. Under 9.10 I got 2hr 15mins with wifi and up to 3hr without wifi. This morning on the train to work I booted the new release only to find that without wifi I'm now getting only 1hr 20mins battery life (fully charged battery). I have the brightness turned down low to try and save a little power but it makes no difference. What can I do. As this is a netbook-remix release having just over an hour of battery life is plain awful and impractical.Any suggestions to increase battery life?

I contacted the computer manufacturer, and I am under warranty, but it will take forever to get a new battery.
I tried recalibrating it, and updating the BIOS, and still NOTHING.
Why? It was working before...
Any ideas or solutions...
It stinks because I can only get like 1 hour battery on this thing now...

I got this message today after cleaning out the inside of my computer. Didn't really mess with anything. Booted into Windows XP just fine, had to restart for an update. Burg loaded, I selected Windows and I get:
"NTLDR is missing. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart." WTF? Windows breaks itself. Great. My ubuntu install works just fine. I have 2 separate hard drives, with one OS on each. I can't access the other drive from ubuntu. It says
Unable to mount location Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: Index entry out of bounds in directory inode 5. Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.

I'm a compiling noob, but one who can follow well-written directions. I was led to believe that I needed to compile an updated version of freetype to satisfy some build dependencies in Wine, which I also needed to compile to be able to use a custom patch. So now my fonts look awful. I read the directions that came with the freetype source code, and one thing I didn't configure properly was the auto-hinter, which I believe to be the problem (although that's just an educated guess), since the documentation lacked the necessary docs.
how do I go back to stonking great fonts? I'd rather keep the new version of freetype, if someone could tell me how to properly configure it to display fonts correctly.

Just installed 9.10 followed by a 10.04 upgrade (wouldn't work as a 10.04 clean install). The install and upgrade all seemed to go well.
But now when booting I get a message saying "checking battery state" and then it boots no further. This is a laptop without a battery installed, running permanently from the mains through the charger.
How can I disable this check so that the laptop will still boot without a battery fitted?

getting back to our laptop, the stability window is ~3.2V. Meaning that when you operate the battery above this the electrolyte is oxidized on the positive electrode and reduced on the negative electrode. Remember that we only want to oxidize and reduce the active materials and don't want to do anything else. All these reactions other than the ones we want are called side reactions and these are really bad for the battery. The nominal voltage of a laptop battery is 3.7 V which means that something bad wants to happen as we use the battery.So long story short, stuff (e.g., passive layers and poor kinetics of reactions) happens and things are not as bad as they seem and you can increase the voltage up to 4.2V without bad things really happening. All chargers for Li-ion cells today cut the battery off when it reaches 4.2V. What you have to realize is that at 4.2V, these side reactions are present in finite amounts and start to chemically kill the battery, but its not that dramatic.
Operating to 4.1V makes things better and extends the life, 4.0 V is even better and so on. So why don't battery manufacturers cut the voltage off at, say, 4 V to get better battery life? Because every time you cut this voltage down you decrease the capacity of the battery and its run time. The 4.2V cutoff is a compromise between good run time and decent (read "not pathetic) life.On the other hand, if you charge the battery and then pull the plug (so to speak), the battery discharges some, the voltage drops, and these reactions become less of a problem and your battery life goes up. So the best things you can do is to charge the laptop (or cell phone, camera etc.) and once its charged, pull the plug. Your battery will thank you for it.As a matter of fact, if you own a Lenovo Thinkpad, you can actually change the state of charge to which you charge the battery using the Battery Maintenance utility. You can change this from charging to 100% state (where the voltage is 4.2V) to 90% so that your voltage is less. You lose some energy is doing that, but atleast you can change it to 100% when you need battery power and put it back down to 90% when you can plug in. I wish my Mac has the same feature.
I typically use the battery for a while (say 1/2 hour to 1 hour), then plug it in and wait to fully charge it, then I pull the plug and use it again for 1/2 hour to 1h and then I repeat this. Takes some getting used to and I forget to do this, but I try.

I have a 3 year old laptop with the original battery and its drained pretty bad. The "Battery may be broken" popup was driving me insane and this is how you disable it, in case you are in the same situation as me. Open terminal
Code:
gconf-editor
Drill down to...
apps --> gnome-power-manager --> notify
uncheck the low_capacity checkbox. This should disable the popup for you if your battery has little life left in it. Now, if any knows how to disable the Avahi popup, let me know.

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...
Firstly my question is, is it ACTUALLY possible to 'overclock' this type of netbook to run a higher res?
Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...

For the past 2hrs I have been struggling to make KDE launch plasma-dekstop instead of plasma-netbook, but all in vain.I removed, then purged plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook-default-settings packages but after logging out and re-logging in the Netbook UI was back! After restarting the system now I can't even seem to get the KDM. I am greeted with a black screen.--- I restarted the system again and the nasty little bugger is back again! This is so frustrating. How do I get plasma-desktop to load instead?---- Great now I can see that plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook both are running simultaneously! netbook on top of desktop. So my final Q is how do I stop plasma-netbook from loading?

I installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

I'm using Xubuntu 10.10, with 2.6.35-24-generic kernel. I'm 64-bit. If it helps at all, I'm using xorg-edgers, but that doesn't seem to mean anything here.My issue is that Plymouth is doing absolutely nothing on boot. I know this from using bootchart and seeing that Plymouth launches itself three times, but not seeing anything every boot. The only splash I do see is after I log in, the mouse thing, but that's XFCE.
So, how can I either remove Plymouth entirely, get it working, or find a better splash program? The reason why I ask how to get rid of Plymouth is because it may be entangled in some things that apt-get purge wouldn't fix.

I've been seeing a lot of posts on Plymouth and I was wondering a few things:
1) What exactly is Plymouth supposed to do? Is it supposed to make a fancy splash screen to replace the scrolling Kernel messages (Which is now just a blinking cursor at the top left), and for that matter...
2) Is it supposed to replace bootlogd (Which has been deprecated - by what, who knows?)? I've seen something about "Plymouth Logger" when I was running the updates on Lucid but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work.
3) I do see a splash screen for Kubuntu when I log off, is the same one supposed to be there when the computer is booting. Also is anyone here familiar with Backtrack? In Backtrack when you boot, you get a splash of the Remote Exploit logo, but in the middle there's a box with the kernel boot messages. Can something similar be implemented in Kubuntu? (Forgive my noobishness)
4) If indeed Plymouth has replaced bootlogd as the boot time logger, will it also fix the problem of incomplete boot logs that existed with bootlogd (And spare us from having to use serial consoles in order to check what modules or drivers are failing at boot time so we can optimize our kernels).

I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my Desktop computer. Prior to KDM loading, all I get is a blank, black screen with no Plymouth splash screen. I'm confident that this issue is not related to KDE but would apply to all Ubuntu variants. Here are my computer specs:
Kubuntu 10.04 x64 running with all updates
Dell Studio Desktop
Intel Quad-Core Processor 2.66Ghz
8GB ram
Intel Integrated Graphics
I should note that I have full desktop effects running smoothly under KDE with compositing enabled, so my integrated graphics is not necessarily the problem unless Plymouth is not loading the graphics drivers successfully.

I just change the theme to plymouth and also apply this command:
sudo echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
I know that it made the boot time much longer and now I want to undo/revert the changes that I've made.

I have two Ubuntu installations: a full one and a light/custom. The full one has every default package installed using the Live CD and some extra packages I've been adding as I need them, the custom one is created using debootstrap and then I add some packages: xserver, fluxbox, alsa... among others.
But I have one problem: plymouth shows a low-res splash screen for the custom installation, while it works great with the full one. Both running on the same motherboard and with the same monitor. Besides, I need to set the FRAMEBUFFER=y option in the custom installation to make plymouth show the splash screen at boot.
I've tried setting GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX for GRUB without any change, I'd like to know what other programs/drivers/configurations may affect Plymouth resolution so that I could find what is preventing my custom installation from showing a nice plymouth splash screen.

I am trying to boot in to ubuntu 10.10 from a usb on my desktop but i can't seem to get past the purple screen with "ubuntu" and the flashing dots. The purple dots scroll for a bit but then all turn purple. I'm trying to do this on a hp compaq with a pentium 4 and from what i can tell nothing is wrong with it.

I boot into the CLI (by changing gdm.conf) and before it gets to the logon, it produces this error. So far, I haven't seen any effects but I'd like to get rid of it. Sometimes, I also get the error
Code:
mountall: plymouth command failed
I removed and reinstalled the Plymouth packages to no avail.. Anyone know how I can at least get rid of this error from appearing (like somehow changing a .conf file to not even try and "connect" to Plymouth)?
I did try the sudo apt-get update and all those other commands as listed on other sites. I went through the basic Google search so after the first 4 pages, I'm outta ideas.

I have searched the forums on this problem and I am still not really clear on the fix for this or even if I should wait for final release. I am running Lucid 64bit and have upgraded through the cycle from Karmic. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers. All the time that the Plymouth boot screen has been available it has been in low resolution. As we are now at beta 2 I am torn between searching a fix or waiting for the final release. So, from what I have read I need the 'nouveau' driver to fix this issue.
1. How do I install this in place of my existing nvidia proprietary driver?
2. I am a little bit confused by the hardware drivers selection panel telling me that I have an nvidia driver installed but that it is not in use-I read that this might be a bug?
