Ubuntu Installation :: Laptop Hangs Up After Clicking "forward"
Apr 10, 2011My laptop install hangs up after clicking "forward" on the install welcome screen for selecting a language (English obviously). After 8 hours looking through the forums I have verified the download with md5sum, burned 2 cd's and 1 dvd at low speed, and checked each for defects. I also attempted the installation 6 times, eventually ticking off all the parameters like "nomodeset" etc.
There don't appear to be any hardware conflicts with the laptop (a very old HP Omnibook XE3). There is nothing on the hard drive, as I wiped it with a program called DBAN to erase a stable and functioning copy of XP just prior to this.
Ubuntu :: Clicking On System & Trash From Launcher Open Movie Player?
Jun 13, 2011if i click on System or Trash, from the unity launcher, it open movie player. only the player and not either of those places. when clicking Trash, the player opens and starts playing "4 non-blonds", which was probably the last thing sent to the trash. clicking System just opens the movie player not playing anything specific. why is this happening? why cant we access those places. I'm not even sure how to revert. would like not to have to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Play An Audio File With A System-wide Keyboard Shortcut?
Aug 25, 2010I do a bit of script writing, and part of this involves reading the text aloud and reacting to audio cues. What I'd love to do is set up a method of playing audio files at whim based on a general shortcut. So, say if I pressed <Super>C1, I could play ~/Music/cue1.mp3, <Super>C2 would be ~/Music/cue2.ogg etc.
Currently the closest I've got is using the terminal and a modified .bashrc to play via VLC's ncurses.
Code:
alias cue1="vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp3"
Obviously this isn't very near to what I want. Entering a Keyboard Shortcut using the usual methods (xbindkeys, gconf-editor, the KeyShort Preferences GUI) to run
Code:
vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp
doesn't play anything. Is it possible to launch these kinds of commands as shortcuts, or am I hoping for too much? My Google trawls have been pretty fruitless. I'm running Lucid, btw.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Mythbuntu System Hangs After Regular System Update: "out Of Memory" Errors
Aug 4, 2010I have Mythbuntu 10.04 installed on an exclusive HTPC and working great... until tonight. After letting the system update some packages (161 packages if I remember right), I suddenly have an issue where the graphical system won't start. After researching I found three error messages that might be causing that.
1. At the start of splash screen I see "UUID=xxxxxxxCD7 not ready yet or not present" I checked in /etc/fstab and found that this is the swap partition. I don't remember seeing this before so this could be the culprit.
2. I'm not at the computer in question right now but I saw a Plymouth error about "mountall" and then the message "plymouth command failed". Not sure if this could be the main error.
3. after a while (usually ca. 1-2 min) I receive thousands of errors of the kind "out of memory"... "kill process XXXX" (process vary wildly e.g. dbus-daemon, mysql, etc)... "process killed"..."respawning"
After error 3, I'm not able to switch to graphical console (ctrl-alt-F7). If I was in the graphical console at this moment, I simply can't switch to the CLI console. I'm always afraid of updating my system since I've seen lots of things breaking afterwards (usually the proprietary graphic drivers) but this is really strange.

Ubuntu :: VLC Hangs System On Startup?

Ubuntu :: System Hangs For 15-20 Seconds After Login
May 1, 2010Just installed Lucid Lynx on my Desktop and after logging in I would get a 15-20 second pause before Gnome appeared. I found many many potential solutions for this problem on the Internet but none solved it. Finally figured out that it was due to the system seeing a floppy controller when I have no floppy drive. I was led to this conclusion by the following two lines in my syslog (System > Administration > Log FIle Viewer > Syslog).
May 1 18:27:04 Desk-Ubuntu kernel: [ 34.636665] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
May 1 18:27:16 Desk-Ubuntu kernel: [ 46.813441] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Note the 12 second delay when it tries to read again.
So if you are getting the pause and seeing the same thing your system log then ...
Enter your BIOS and disable the floppy drive Use sudo and edit /etc/fstab commenting out the line with fd0 in it
Hope I can save someone else the headache of hunting through the Interwebs and finding 5 different solutions none of which worked. Learning as I go with Ubuntu so I didn't even know how to carry out most of the "solutions" which required more googling. I am migrating from FreeBSD due to application requirements
Ubuntu :: Ctrl+alt+f1 Hangs System Instead Of Switching To CLI ?
May 22, 2010I have been trying to switch to CLI mode for 2 hours now, I have searched possible solutions and I couldn't find any so I decided to make a new topic.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 x86_64. I need to log into CLI to stop KDE from running, but I just can't get there.
When I try ctrl+alt+F1 the only thing happens is that mouse pointer disappears and everything else (background, panels, etc.) stays the same, and frozen, no keyboard input helps.
Then when I perform ctrl+alt+F7 it gets me back into GUI. I have also tried sudo chvt 1, same effect. Then I tried to change inits. sudo init 1 and sudo init 2 give me just a blank black screen and where only reboot helps. init 3 doesn't do anything (guess I'm already running init 3 and thats why).
Ubuntu :: Boot Hangs After System Update?
Sep 10, 2010I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a desktop. I then did the system updates and on the reboot the system now hangs at the splash screen before the login screen. I only get a blinking cursor on the text-based terminals. I don't see the grub menu, I assume because Ubuntu is the only OS on this machine. So I can't boot to single user or text-only mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: USB Insertion Hangs System / Stop It To Do So?
Dec 19, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit on an HP 8740w. Sometimes (I don't have the frequency yet, but it has happened a half-dozen times in the past couple of weeks) when I insert a USB storage device the system hangs, requiring a power-cycle. I have been careful to either eject or "safely remove" every USB device, but it still happens. I believe it only happens when I remove a device and later re-insert it, but I don't have enough data points to be sure.
Most of the time, I'm running VirtualBox, but I haven't captured the USB device in a VM.
First question - how can I go about figuring out what might be going wrong? Once it happens, my options are extremely limited (power switch). When this happened one time I left the system for 30+ minutes, and it did not recover.
Of course, when I wanted to see it, I did 10 insertions/removals without a hang.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHardware :: System Hangs With New RAM (2gb)
Dec 27, 2010I've got Asus M4AT78T-E motherboard, and so far, I was using 2x1GB of Corsair 1333 Mhz RAM. I decided to change it for 1x2GB OCZ 1600Mhz CL7 memory.
I removed current modules, and installed new one into red colored (they recommend it in user manual) slots. After start, computer hangs at random time, I mean, it could be when Grub loads (while going to select memtest), or even while POST test. (After detecting some SATA device).
Is it possible to run that memory on my computer? Is memory corrupted? I have possibility to use it on another system, but it will be about in next 2-3 weeks, and I'd like to have it here.
Ubuntu :: System Hangs When Deactivating Swap For Power Down

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: System Hangs Randomly - Possible Hardware Failure?
Apr 28, 2010I'm at a loss in trying to debug a problem I have with my media centre. Basically I'm getting random system hangs and when I say hang I mean proper hang - processor stops dead. No animation, not network connectivity, no keyboard/mouse response, nothing. As for it being random - it has happened during movie playback, during idle, after being up a short time, or a long time, it doesn't matter, so it can happen any time really. The logs show nothing suspect, except they just stop and there is nothing common between the logs of two failures. It happens on both my 'old' ubuntu 9.04 partition and on my new 10.04 partition.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: System Hangs Whenever Module Is Inserted Or Removed?
Jun 26, 2010After the updates about a week ago I noticed my system was hanging (screen and mouse frozen, unable to switch desktops, trl+Alt+SysRq+B still reboots) frequently. Though sometimes the system would not hang but become extremely sluggish and unresponsive. I've been able to determine that the problems occur whenever a module is added or removed. I can cause this problem with such commands as:
sudo modprobe aes
sudo rmmod raid0
I've tried multiple kernels but the problem persists. I've run memtest on the system but no errors have been found. I wonder if this could be some other sort of hardware problem but I'm suspicious that this began after a set of updates. I've seen message such as this in the kern.log:
Code:
Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.480059] INFO: task modprobe:2672 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.492925] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.506918] modprobe D 00000000ffffffff 0 2672 2650 0x00000004
[code]....
I've tried using strace but that was not helpful. This is becoming a serious problem as I cannot load any encrypted volumes due to the inability to load the aes module. dpkg is currently in an interrupted state as the system hung when upgrading virtualbox-3.2 when it attempted to remove the modules. So my system is barely functional and I cannot see any way to fix things.
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 10.04 Hangs - System Not Booting
Nov 22, 2010Just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10. upgraded from update manager. System would not boot. Booted live cd and used the 9.10 menu.lst. Now boots but takes a long time. I don't know much about the kernel. I assume they are listed in the /boot directory and are called by menu.lst (dual boot w/ XP) (btw: I am ready to get rid of XP once I get this fixed). 9.10 appears to use 2.6.31-20-generic, therefore, I assume 10.04 uses 2.6.32-25-generic.

Ubuntu :: System Hangs On Boot When Stating Samba Daemons
Feb 7, 2010My system was working fine. I followed a thread online to try to get samba to share better, installed "winbind" and now I can't get passed "Checking System Files" on boot up.
Upon boot, "Checking System Files":
Starting Firestarter firewall .... fails.
Starting samba daemons _ .... Just hangs there forever
Is there a way to get back into my system so that I can uninstall winbind, firestarter, or samba if need be?
