Ubuntu :: Unable To Boot: Init: Plymouth Main Process (57) Killed By SEGV Signal
May 2, 2011
I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.0.4 to 11.0.4 on a Dell Optiplex. Now, when I boot, I am given the option to boot into different kernels. I select "ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic", which results in a black screen that reads
Code:
init: plymouth main process (58) killed by SEGV signal and that's where it hangs. Pressing ENTER or hitting Esc does nothing. What steps can I take to recover my machine and all the files I used to have on it?
I just installed Ubuntu on a Cr-48 netbook, which has an odd custom bios which can't boot regular bootloaders/kernelsI'm therefore using the existing kernel on the machine rather than the Ubuntu one, with no initrd/initramfs, just booting directly to the Ubuntu root filesystem.t's just a minimal text mode install right now, from the alternate installerAt boot time, plymouth crashes. It doesn't seem to actually affect the system, everything still boots just fine, but it doesn't seem like it should be doing that I get:
Code: mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth init: plymouth main process (70) killed by SEGV signal
I just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 (it's a long story, and I still can't go beyond 2.30).The update got rid of WICD, which is what I used and installed network-manager. Network-manager was not working at all, so I uninstalled it again and installed WICD. I could connect perfectly and had no problems.However, now the computer hangs during boot, saying that init can't start network-manager. I assume that something went wrong during the uninstalling process, since it wasn't updated.
This is the message: init: Failed to spawn network-manager main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory.
So how do I update it or manually change it so it stops requesting network-manager?
My machine is dual booted with Fedora 14 and RHEL 6. (I have only installed Red Hat because I am studying for RHCE). Just now I tried to install the Banshee player on my Red Hat OS. I ran various scripts inside the directory to see what really happens and after I ran the 'Makefile.in' file my terminal froze. It displayed '/bin/ not found'Then i restarted my computer and I got the following messages:
init: Failed to spawn readahead-collector main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory init: Failed to spawn rcS main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory init: Failed to spawn readahead main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
[code].....
I tried run level 1 and run level 3 but I get the same error messages.
recently a weird error occured on my Ubuntu Karmic. When I shutdown (or reboot) the os, the flashing logo shows and then the whole process hangs with last few lines of shutdown log displayed. The last line then says this error:
Code: init: rc main process (pid) killed by TERM signal where pid is actual pid of that process.
Then I have to shutdown the computer manually with hardware button. It's no big deal, it's just not that comfortable and I'd really like to know why this is happening.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed. When I boot, this error message appeared "init: ureadahead main process 388 terminated with status 5" After that, another error message appear saying " *ERROR* render ring head not reset to zero"
Code: init: ureadahead main process (423) terminated with status 5 Ubuntu 10.10 lorentz tty1
lorentz login: The first line of the above shows up during boot before the display goes graphical. I can see it again (all of the above) when I Ctrl+Alt+F1 to access the first text console. Anyone know what is causing this, what problems can happen as a result, and what should be done about it? I moved from 9.10 on one machine to 10.10 on a new machine, so I don't know if it's a hardware problem or software. I am running 64-bit. I am not really seeing any problems happening besides the few scattered application and GUI glitches that are common with a new/migrated setup.
I keep getting this message as the first thing I see when I boot up. Afterwards, it displays the ubuntu logo and dots under it and then the screen blacks out, but the display lights act like its OK (wireless ETC). should I use a boot CD or something? The hard drive is fine and this happened after the computer blacked out during updates. i scanned the hard drive and its OK, according to the little scan thing you can do before booting up. I have a Compaq Presario V200. For specs, thats all I know.
I have a project in which many processes run. p1,p2,p3.
->There are some .so files are included in some process when needed example ppp.so in process p1 (when ppp is needed and will go like a plugin) but it has a init () function how a process includes a init() function ?
->process p1 has main function i.e main()
->so evry process has main() right ?
what is the difference between init () and main () functoins. where is init () used and how many init() a process van have ?
I have upgraded my ubuntu to the latest version a few days ago. Prior to the update I played a little with my partitions (transferred about 15GB from my windows partition to ubuntu partition).Up until yesterday everything worked. For some reason ubuntu will not load up now. After selecting ubuntu on grub i get the following msg: init: mountall main fsck process (574) terminated with status 3 mount of filesystem failed one or more of the mounts
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
I have an Acer 9410Z laptop that I believe is running the Maverick Meerkat version of Ubuntu Studio. I just did an upgrade using Synaptic. I get to GRUB, but When I try to boot 2.6.35-22 (or the recovery mode or a real time kernel I had installed )I get the error:
INIT: Failed to spawn ureadahead main process. No such file or directory I then get the Ubuntu Studio splash screen for 2 seconds but then instead of a normal boot I end up in the terminal.
I installed Lucid Lynx on my laptop a couple of months ago and for the most part everything was working fine. However, just recently the computer doesn't seem to be booting up at all. I start up the machine and then a black screen appears with the text: init: ureadahead main process (306) terminated with status 5 the (#) is different in some boot-ups
And the computer just hangs there. typing anything doesn't seem to help at all. I press enter and a new line just appears. I've left it there for hours and still no login screen.
Fooling around with trying to edit splash themes, and in trying to apply one, I broke the startup splash. The shutdown splash still works. I know that update-initramfs -u is supposed to fix this, but it hasn't. I run dpkg-reconfigure plymouth, and it gives me the list of themes; I can pick one, and it seems to do its thing; I run update-initramfs -u, and that looks like it worked too; but then I reboot, and the shutdown splash is unchanged, and the startup splash is just a black screen until GDM loads. It's as if I hadn't changed anything.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Two days ago I updated using update manager. After that I can not boot Ubuntu. When I trying to boot system showing message " Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself" But I can not configure it.I can not boot to 'recovery mode' also

Last night i have upgraded my 9.10 to 10.04. After rebooting the system i couldnt boot linux.I got the following message:Starting up ...mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such deviceinit: ureadahead main process (20 terminated with status 5After that message some 10.04 check disk started, but nothing good came out of it.
I have a minimal installation of Ubuntu, with lxde-core and some other apps I really use. Sometimes when I start the system, it hangs and nothing else happens. I hit Esc and then I see:Code:init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main porcess: Unable to open console: Input/Output error.I get stuck there, and the only thing I can do is to hold the power button, shutdown, boot again, and pray it will boot fine. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
I followed the instructions given at http://linuxhub.net/2010/06/fix-big-and-ugly-plymouth-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ for fixing my ugly plymouth screen after installing Nvidia drivers. All worked as expected. However I made some modifications in the instructions as I required.
Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap I used 1366*768 instead of 1280*1024.
Whenever I try to do anything in synaptic, apt-get, or aptitude I get error msg dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution-common2.30.3-5_all.deb (--unpack): failed in write on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during './usr/share/gnome/help/evolution/c/figures/evo_labels_a.png':No space left on device configured to not write apport reports dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
This is from synaptic E: /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution-common_2.30.3-5_all.deb: failed in write on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/gnome/help/evolution/el/figures/evo_attachreminder_plugin.png' I have also been getting /usr/ full notifications. I have tried to remove files but after I reboot they are still there.
I've been playing around in attempt to see how small a usable kernel I can build. The theory is that it should mainly be useful for preparing a recovery disk or some such thing; disk drivers and a few network drivers are what goes in.
I built the kernel with the attached config. It boots, reaches the hdd (if I specify root as /dev/sda5 manually), then dies when it tries to start Plymouth (something about catching a SEGV signal). What needs to be enabled to run Plymouth? Alternatively, has anyone managed to remove plymouth from boot on Maverick?
(That would require a modified mountall version, I know.) I'm using the mainstream kernel 2.6.32.27 sources on Maverick (yes, I know Maverick uses 2.6.35; but this does boot).
Hardware: Wireless-RTL8192SE b/g/n, uses an out-of-tree driver (r8192se_pci, from Realtek; Ubuntu builds in an older version of this driver); r8169 works for ethernet; ATI Radeon Mobility 3200 graphics, AMD Neo X2 cpu; SATA hd in AHCI mode.
Description of what the code does or what i intended to do:
1. Created a child process from parent process using 'fork()'
2. Sent a signal 'SIGALRM' from child process to parent process using 'sigqueue' function.
(The Third parameter of 'siqueue' function contains the message (message msg) which the child process wants to send to the parent process.'msg' is a stucture instance containing a) pid of child and b) string) 5. Print the 'msg' sent by child process inside the signal handler function 'sig_action_function' of the parent process I am getting some junk value when this line is executed
Code:
printf("%d ",msg->cpid);
I expected to get the pid of child process, which the child process sent to parent process through the signal.
I tried googling but didn't get any answer for this.I have a process called "abc" and it is running with PID "123".I have a putty session opened with PID "999".I am giving kill -TERM 123 from putty session.My process "abc" before dying it should catch the PID of the terminal which provided TERM signal to it.Is there any way to find this out
Is there any difference in cpu usage for process in init.rc(runs automatic when boot is happened) and manually running process. Will these both have same priority by default...?

In Ubuntu 10.10 on a REALLY old laptop, everything works fine - except the system occasionally gets a lag spike, where the CPU is suddenly being throttled. This wouldn't be a problem, except my mother's using the laptop to play backing music for her choir and the CPU spikes are causing the music to stutter. After much searching and eventually resorting to TOP, I found that the CPU was being throttled every 10-20 seconds or so by a process called, "kslowd001". "sudo kill -9 `pidof kslowd001`" did nothing, nor did, "sudo killall -9 kslowd001". It doesn't want to die, it just wants to throttle the CPU, and I just want it to stop. What does this process actually do? Why can't I kill it? How do I switch it off, or otherwise stop it from throttling the CPU every couple of seconds so that we can actually listen to music or watch videos from the laptop?
After a kernel update action, it seems that I'm unable to boot a system anymore. First off, after installing the kernel, and trying to shutdown to boot to the new kernel, the system replied with INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel. Kernel update was performed from to the following versions 2.6.18-128.el5.img -> 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.img . The system is a VMWare virtual machine. When trying to reboot, the system passes GRUB, starts initializing and after loading the dm it stops for a few seconds at the message Waiting for new devices, show the following message:
Setting up new root fs no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults. After this and a few other messages, it displays : INIT: version 2.85 booting INIT - No more processes left in this runlevel INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes And then it just hangs. This is the output of my inittab:
[code]...
The system boots into failsafe, but still shows the errors mentioned.
