I closed an application and the PC stuck (i am strongly suspecting windows effects for this), then I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to terminal and I restarted the pc through there.
Now,everything works fine, but, when the windows aren't maximised are topless (cannot drug them or close them). When they are maximized there is the global menu so there's no actual problem there.
how to avoid future crashes like this?
OS: Ubuntu version 11.04 Final and Windows Server 2008 Standard
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H67M-D2-B3
BIOS Type/Date/Version: Award Modular v6.00PG
Processor : Intel Core i3-2100CPU - 3.10GHz
Chipset: Intel H67 chipset
Ram : Kingston 4GB
HDD : 500Gb seagate sata
I have 2 OS:
1. Ubuntu version 11.04 Final
2. Windows Server 2008 Standard
installed using wubi 11.04.
Will my trial Windows Server 2008 standard auto-crash by itself once expired when switch over to use the Ubuntu 11.04 forever? So that i can keep all my desktop setting and data without losing in the hard disk.
Once windows expired, windows will forever locked out and will I still be able to use ubuntu 11.04 to see all the windows data?
Almost everyday my notebook freezes. I know the kernel is still up and running because I see my hd led activity lit from time to time and when I pressed the wifi/bluetooth button it also lit on and off with no problem.
The problem is my XWindows, it's just freezes and there's nothing I can do with it. I still can move my mouse cursor but I can't click anything because the screen is just freezes.
I tried to pressed Ctrl + Alt + F2->F5 to go into console mode. Not working.
The only workaround is turn-off and turn it on again.
This happened after I installed F11. with F10 I have never seen such problem
Here is my configuration :
- Notebook Acer Travelmate 6292
- 4 GB memory
- VGA is Intel on-board.
Sofware I uses when the freezes happened :
- Virtualbox 3.0.10
- I use compiz/emerald
- Gnome
- Firefox
- Limewire (sometimes)
I currently run windows 7, I am interested in dual booting, upon burning the .iso to the disc using imgburn, I had a few problems with the installer when I ran the live disc, I'll assume it was personal causes, I googled several things for a simple solution, I went with using the Disk Manager in Windows 7 to shrink my current partition which I only have one which is running Win 7 on 140 GB's, using the shrink function in windows I unallocated 20 GB of that partition, I used this option because the option in F11's installer would not work at all. I rebooted from disc, loading the distro, and run the installer via desktop choose the use free space option and I got an error crash when it tries to execute this option which isnt the only time I got this error bug causing me to exit the installer, I copied the debug information in the details, I hope this is something simple because F11 isn't worth this much time.

I have an HP laptop with both Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows Vista installed on it.
The other day I noticed I was running out of space in the main linux partition (the / partition, not the /home partition), so I decided to move some space from the Windows partition and move it to the linux one. I used a GParted Live CD to do that.
My partitions are ordered as follows:
Windows Vista partition (NTFS)
Main linux partition / (ext3)
Linux home partition /hom (ext3)
HP RECOVERY (NTFS - I don't know what it is, it just comes with HP laptops that have Vista on them)
So I shrank partition 1, and then "moved" partition 2 to enlarge it (GParted said everything was alright).
After doing that, I went to my linux and everything seemed to be fine, I'm also quite sure I had access to my Windows partition as always. But today I tried to start my Windows and it just got stuck on the "loading" stage (that screen that says "Microsoft Corporation" and has a green loading bar). So I shut the computer down manually (by holding the power button for a few seconds). After doing that a couple of time, I went to my linux, which worked just fine, but I was not able to go to the Windows partition. You can see how GParted looks now for my computer:[url]
As you can see, the first partition (/dev/sda1), which is supposed to be the Windows partition, is not mounted and the system doesn't seem to be able to read it properly. Here is my attempt to mount it manually:
Code:
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /windows/ -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /windows/ ntfs-3g force 0 0
I'm using avidemux for Windows platform. I realize this is linux software but I guess I thought some of you OSS developers might know something about the bugs in the windows port (I can't seem to find an answer in tutorials or faq's). I load my mpeg. I apply the filters which only show in preview, not in the mpeg that I'm staring at in the main window. I ensured encoding was correct for audio and video, placed the "proposed" I guess you can say, jobs in the job list but when I go to run the selected job, avidemux crashes. It erases all my filters and such (which you can imagine how annoying that is for really crappy video). I've searched through the interface for an apply button, pressed all the configure buttons so I assume that the processing stage occurs when I perform the job. (Sadly the faqs and tutorials aren't very well worded although they say much about features, they don't elaborate too tough).

I can print a test page from Cups without any problems, but when I try and print from windows, Samba seems to crash completely and is constantly writing these messages to the logs.

I've been dual booting Ubuntu based distros and Windows 7 x64 for a couple of years now, but since installing Ubuntu Natty I've been experiencing a strange problem. Every time I reboot from Ubuntu and load Windows, Windows will always crash and reboot shortly after reaching the desktop. This even happens in Safe Mode, but if you simply reload Windows after the crash it works perfectly. The only error report in the event viewer is a kernel-power one stating that the system shut down unexpectedly. I'm not even getting a BSOD.
This only started happening after installing Ubuntu 11.04, but even so I thought this must have been a coincidence up until now. However, after a lot of testing it really does only happen after rebooting from Ubuntu. If I load Windows from GRUB straight after switching my PC on, it works fine. If I reboot Windows after this and boot straight back into Windows, it works fine. I can only assume that Ubuntu is doing something weird to the Windows hard drive without appearing to mount it.
I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.
you're playing a game like Supertuxcart or Open Arena and the screen freezes which hints at something that has crashed.Well this happened this weekend when my mate's kids were playing those games on my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10.
All I could think of to resolve the issue was to hit the Power Button and restart my laptop. I am assuming that this is not exactly a good thing to do but at the time I could not think of anything else to do seeing as the screen froze and I could not use the mouse or pressing any buttons.Anybody got any ideas on how to un crash an application with out hitting the power button and forcing a re-boot?
I've recently posted here about ubuntu crashing on boot (black screen).
However, when I try to watch a .avi movie with VLC I get the black screen again.

EDIT: just checked, crashes with regular movie player aswell
My desktop has suddenly refused to load. I had applied some updates last week. My PC worked fine on Sunday but on Monday when I booted it the system froze at the point where the login screen should appear. The keyboard does not respond to Caps-lock or Crt-Atl-{Del,Backspace}. I can boot into recovery-mode but once I startx I get the same probem.
If I use a slightly older kernel and try to startx I get the desktop backup-ground colour but nothing else, no mouse cursor or menus.
I can't find any problems reported in the logs. Can anyone give me some trouble-shooting tips or have any idea on what I might be able to do?
Sorry if I am short of details but I have to write this from work now that the desktop is dead and I don't have all the details to hand.
Can anyone offer any pointers?
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 I have been unable to use Emacs23. Upon starting Emacs, it immediately causes X to crash and I am returned to the login screen.I thought of looking for a log file and providing it here or in a Launchpad post to shed some light on the problem, but I don't know which log I could provide (if there is one).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using a ZaReason Terra HD netbook. I have not changed any of the default hardware, nor messed with any of the X or openoffice settings. For almost as long as I've had the computer, I've been getting random X crashes. The screen goes to black, dumps some text, and I'm given a series of options of what to do (low-graphics mode, diagnostics, exit to terminal). From what I've gathered, this only happens when openoffice is running (it can be in the background, it does not have to be the active application).
I really have no idea what to do or what is causing this. I've attached a log, and I will gladly attach whatever else might be useful. I've looked on the internet for help, and while I do see a lot of X and openoffice issues, they seem to be related to higher end hardware than I have. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4, openoffice.org 3.2, and using an Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller .
Note: the attached log is a text file, but I made it a .doc because it barely exceeded the file size limit for .txt .
Sometimes(after a crash??) the GDM wan't autologin, is there a way to always autologin? The pc is running in a kiosk environment so it is really annoying that the machine are left in the login shell after a restart/boot.

I had Windows XP running fine on Virtualbox, but it's started crashing. This happens instantly when I try to startup the virtual machine. It doesn't get anywhere near booting up.

Now all I get is the blue splash screen with nothing on it and then a black screen which only has Cairo dock on it - no panels or anything else. I need a way to revert to the Gnome Desktop at startup - can any one help ? I can open with the recovery option at bootup and get a terminal but I don't know what to put in it.

This has happened multiple times. I'd be running firefox and it would crash for whatever reason. I'd try to restart it and it would tell me that it's "already running as another process."
ps and top show no firefox. killall can't kill it. I found a few forum postings saying to delete the .parentlock file in the firefox directory. That allows me to start it, but all my personalizations and settings are gone. I have to each time create a new profile and copy everything over.

I am an Ubuntu/Linux noob, I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it sometimes gets extremely slow and crashes. I can't get out of the crash with ctrl-alt-backspace and I have even tried the key combinations suggested here to no avail.
Ubuntu 9.10
Computer:
IBM T42
mem 500 MiB
Intel Pentium 1.70GHz
The crashes usually involve Firefox being open + another program ( could be pdf reader, calibre, or something similar). I try to keep the amount of open Firefox tabs below 5 as it gets very, very slow (that was one of the reasons why I decided to install Ubuntu, in the old windows XP installation Firefox was also excruciatingly slow).
I have an alienware m17x laptop with 2 hardrives, on primary is win7 and on secondary is ubuntu 9.10. The problem I have is if I boot (using Grub) into linux it crashes before the ubuntu logo pops up and locks up completely, needing a hard reset. If I boot linux again, all is fine. I can't copy the text that comes up when it crashes, is this logged anywhere so that I can post it? The same thing kind of happens in win7, on first boot (via Grub) I get the windows logo for about a second then BSOD and it reboots (so fast I can't see the error). If i boot again into win7 it boots fine.
