Ubuntu Servers :: Get Stuck When Rebooting
Feb 4, 2010
We have some Ubuntu x64 8.04 servers that sometimes get stuck when rebooting. The only thing we see on the screen is "Loading, please wait" and some stuff below. I am attaching a picture of the monitor. We have this specific server set to reboot constantly while we try to figure out the issue however we don't know where to start, can we look at logs at this point (probably not since the hard drives aren't mounted yet), can we add debug info?

Updated from 10.04 to 10.10 about 2 weeks ago and it worked just fine until today. After rebooting, it's stuck at "* Checking battery state" and nothing happens. I've tried with power cord inserted/out and without battery but with no success.
What I did before rebooting was that I tried to fix my iphone tethering problems with the following commands:
And also a system update. And here I am. Anyone knows what could have happened? I'm on a Acer Travelmate 8371.

Yep the language screen that comes up as soon as you boot off the CD I have not gotten very far and I am already hitting problems... I am using a USB keyboard but it is working in the bios I don't know if this could be the problem?

I am trying to turn an old HP Pavillion 6630 desktop into a home server, and due to my own relative inexperience using linux I decided on a ubuntu server. However, when I get to the partitioner it shows me an error screen: [!!] Partition disks<Go Back> <Continue>I can only choose to go back or continue, and no matter which one i press it goes to a non-responsive blue screen. A slightly worse version of the BSoD if you will. I assumed this was a hardware problem initially, however the hard drive boots fine into windows still, and it still might be a hardware issue, I would just like some other input on what the problem might be.

I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS with Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic-pae I was originally using usbmount to autmont the western digital external usb drive I had attached to the system and it was working great. However, while I was adding files to the drive i deleted all of the directories and files that came on the drive out of box such as 'autorun.inf' and an autorun directory containing an icon for the drive.. when I rebooted the drive was no longer mounted, I tried to un/reinstall usbmount a few times but it still didnt work, so I wound up adding the drive into my fstab, my fstab line reads like this

all is well on my headless Lucid server until a recent apt-get upgrade && shutdown -R now ... it did not come back up? after i moved a screen to the other side of the house, i found fcsk waiting for input during the boot process errors on / ... (I)gnore / (F)ix " ...so i had to attach a keyboard just to push <F> i could change /etc/fstab so it never runs fsck, but this doesn't seem wise. how can i make it <F>ix automatically ? ( or maybe after Xsec )

I have tried different methods to auto start wpa_supplicant at boot on Ubuntu Lucid server on a laptop which can't be connected to Ethernet.
The only thing that worked is adding the wpa_supplicant command before exit0 in rc.local. It solve my problem of wpa_supplicant auto start and annoyance on not be able to ssh before local login. But the screen stuck at Ubuntu Logo. How can i get pass Ubuntu logo screen to regular tty or xbmc in future?

Forgive the terseness. I'm frazzled with this issue, perhaps I should have asked earlier. Every weekend for the past 2 months has been an endless cycle of 'repair broken system' off the install disk.
Installed from Ubuntu server 10.04LTS x86_64, + xfce-desktop Here is uname -a Linux ournas 2.6.32-25-server #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:06:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux If I add my raid + lvm to the fstab file, the boot stalls, (no error it, just hangs waiting, forever). So that's a not very user friendly to start with.
I've tried the suggestions about UUID in fstab tried using LABEL instead, or even /dev/xxx. Every time it hangs. I've googled this endlessly and not found a solution. So don't ask why... since I seem to have tried every odd suggestion to fix this, I've lost track. There seems to be some consensus that whoever gave us plymouth laid an egg. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but did we need a better graphical boot if it breaks everything else?

I am on a live flash drive, and I want to change the WM. How can I do this? I tried to kill X with control+alt+backspace but it didn't work. I also tried to alt+f1 and control c, then delete the x lock and 'start x' but it wouldn't work. How can I 'exec newwindow manager' and restart x without a reboot?

I've noticed that there's no Network Manager icon on my notification area after rebooting, no matter how many times I delete my GNOME panel configuration and restore the defaults. However, after rebooting, if I restart the D-Bus service (and thus my whole desktop), the NM icon does appear - even though NetworkManager is not running. I've already tried reinstalling gnome-panel, network-manager, and dbus, which hasn't changed anything.
How can I make the NM icon appear every time I log in?

I'm having problems using a swap file to increase swap space in Linux. I followed the instructions for creating a swap file, as shown here:
[URL]
It works, and I increased my swap space. But when I reboot, I'm back to the original amount of swap space I had before. The swap file I created is still there, but it's not being used as swap space. I tried remounting the swap file but it doesn't work.
Also, it seems there isn't an fstab entry created for the swap file. Strange, huh? I don't think it made a difference but I manually copied the UUID for the swap file and made an entry in fstab.
I may be wrong, but from what I can tell the UUID of the swap file keeps changing every time I reboot.
So basically every time I reboot I have to repeat the instructions shown above to get more swap space.

Since I upgraded to 10.10 my system keeps rebooting spontaniously.... Haven't been able to find anything wrong with the system, other than the reboots.

Here I was, humming happily along on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine, when thanks to a stupid Windows proprietary task that I NEEDED to perform, I rebooted in Windows later this morning. When I was done with the task, I tried to reboot again back in Ubuntu, but lo & behold, it wouldn't start. I tried several times, I tried recovery mode, I tried previous versions, and NADA! It's as if the kernel only existed in name only. So now I don't know what to do, because I cannot access my Ubuntu files from Windows (which luckily still works), plus I cannot abide the idea of having to give up on Ubuntu for good and going back to Windows! I'm willing to reinstall the whole thing again, so I've downloaded a new .iso image to create a new install CD, but I cannot seem to successfully create the new CD image either. I'm tempted to download Wubi, but I'm not sure if that's a permanent solution either.

I"ve started using Ubuntu 11.04 with my Intel iMac. Today I was playing EDuke32 on Ubuntu then the game got freezed, so I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 and it worked. I just logged in the console and typed;
sudo reboot
This actually didn't work, so;
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/reboot
This worked.
After rebooting, I tried log in with the GUI login screen. However I just cannot login. After I input my password and press enter, login screen goes black out and comes back to the login screen. I also tried to log in from console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), and it worked. I can log in.

When I boot up the machine and do ifconfig, eth0 is missing.If I issue $sudo ifup eth0 then the ethernet is working, but I'm not sure why I'm booting up without a connection.

I installed NX to be able to log into my server running ubuntu remotely, while using NX I rebooted the server remotely, now I cannot log into it, not remotely and not physically either! Every time I enter my user name and password the screen goes black for a couple of seconds displaying some nx messages and then it goes back to the login prompt.

For those that haven't heard, Ksplice is an easy to install program that allows you to do critical updates without ever having to reboot. Yes, this includes updates to the kernel.It's free for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Fedora 13 (desktop, not enterprise) OS. I tried to install it on 10.10 beta but said it doesn't do beta versions.I just wanted to find out what people think of this. I think this is an awesome idea and if it works well, perhaps it could be implemented in future versions of Ubuntu?

I was playing Minecraft last night when the screen went black. This is apparently a known issue when you're using the wrong java version or something, and I've gotten this crash in the past, but I've always just restarted to get my computer back to normal. However, when I restarted my computer, the monitors would not get any signal from the computer. They just stay black. I tried restarting, shutting down all the way and turning it back on, and nothing works. The computer just stays completely black.
I tried turning on the computer then SSHing into it, but it's not working. I'm not sure if I had it set to auto log in, so it might be that I'm not logged in, or it might be something more insidious, but as I can't see what's happening I don't know what the problem could be.

I left the Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid installation cd I burned in the drive and rebooted the remote machine. Now I cant get it on VNC or ping it by name. But the IP it had before still replies to pings. When I check the DHCP database in Windows Server 2003, that IP's machine name is now "ubuntu", not the same as before. Does this sound like what a machine would do when that cd is left in the drive on a reboot?

I want to switch to Ubuntu 9.10 but the computer always freezes 30 to 45 seconds after entering the graphical mode. This includes the 64bit installer, the 64bit live CD version and I even installed the 32bit version with the alternate install CD (text-mode). In all 3, I can use the system (e.g. log in, click Next) just fine for half a minute, then it crashes. It even crashes if I don't do anything.
Here are my hardware specs:
MB: Biostar TF560 A2+
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
RAM: DDR2 800 Dual 128 bit, 2T (4GB)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3870
The sound and network cards are integrated but I've tried disabling them from BIOS as well as removing all hard drives and the problem persists. I have also verified the CD successfully. Note that right now I'm using SLAX from a CD as I formatted my hard drive (so at least some Linux works).

However, I anyways went for reinstalling kubuntu 10.04. The installation went fine. It asked to reboot at the end, which I did. After the reboot, it gives me the login screen. After filling up the details there it again shows me the same login screen. This goes on forever.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed for some time now and I don't boot my Win7 machine in weeks!I love how solid, robust it is... and also how good it looks.Love the features like Ubuntu One (use it a lot!) and the Software Center. I'm 95% converted and I would be 100% if it weren't for 2 issues:
1 - The machine won't shutdown. Rebooting works fine but shutdown it just hangs... Kinda sucks having to press the Power Off button every time...
2 - I'm on a laptop but it doesn't recognize my battery. All I get is a "electric ray" on the panel. Even if I remove AC power it still does the same... No charging information, nothing... I tried
Code:
sudo modprobe pmu_battery
on the terminal but is says that the module could not be found.
Everything else works terrific (better than Windows!) with this two exceptions...
