Ubuntu :: Unable To Start (May Be Because Of XDM)
May 25, 2010
Today I decided to install XDM instead of GDM. During installation I was asked which display system should Ubuntu use. I chose GDM - that was my mistake. Then I ran "dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and chose XDM. After restart my system was unable to load - progress bar was running and running and running. I pressed ctrl-alt-backspace and saw "starting x-display-manager". That's all, after that nothing happened. After that I renamed /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.conf.DISABLED and tried to load Ubuntu. It started with some big, old-stylish login screen and after that GDM was loaded again. "sudo xdm" seems to be working as nothing appears after that command.

I am having trouble starting SKIM in KUbuntu 10.10 and thus unable to type Chiense characters.
I have followed the instructions listed here [url]
But when I try to start SKIM through K Menu -> Utilities -> SKIM, it fails. I have no idea how to proceed from here.
I've also read this thread [url] and I'm stuck again at the part 'start SKIM'.
I can start SCIM (K Menu -> Settings -> SCIM), but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I invoke the trigger.
And so does the iBus Keyboard Input Methods application (K Menu -> Settings -> Key Board Input Methods) that I am able to start but have no effect too.
Under Settings, there is also another application called Input Method Switcher (K Menu -> Settings -> Input Method Switcher) which fail to start too.
So what can I do to be able to type in Chinese under KUbuntu? I remember setting it up in Ubuntu 9.04 is really easy.

cupsd has ceased starting at boot time. It is checked off in System->Administration->BootUp Manager, and it runs fine from the command line. But not at boot.This is not the problem reported here.I suspect there are a couple more processes that have stopped running, but their absence hasn't been obvious yet.FWIW, I'm running 10.04 with the 2.6.35-22 kernel.

When I boot up, right before the login screen appears, everything freezes, and I have no choice but to turn the computer off manually.
The first time it happened, I had just downloaded a HUGE update (hadn't been online with ubuntu in a long time), and the computer was probably installing the updates when it crashed, and then, the problem I described above.
I tried to boot up in recovery mode, but at some point the computer couldn't come further. I don't think it crashed, I think it was working, but nothing happened. At the time it got stuck the last command line read: [ 7.451509] udev[514]: starting version 163
In addition to ubuntu, I also run windows 7 on the computer.

sudden unable to start a terminal or logging in to my computer using ssh.Pressing Alt+f2 and typing xterm does not work.Also pressing ctrl+alt+f1 and trying to log in I get logged out immediately. Still gnome seems to be working fine. I have another user on my computer and that one is able to log in to my computerusing ssh, which I think is strange. btw.

I have a strange problem with my MINI Ubuntu. I am able to shutdown -h now and restart with power button, as long as I don't install pm-utils. If I install pm-utils, the computer turns of after shutdown -h now, but will not wake up after I press the power button. Light goes on, drives are running, but no BEEP.

I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my Sony VAIO Laptop, for the full specs, it's here. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, I downloaded the latest version of Wubi. I copied the Wubi executable to the directory where I downloaded the ISO file of Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit). Everything went fine, I was able to install it properly. Then I after restarting my computer and selecting Ubuntu on the Boot Menu, the only thing that I can see is just a blank screen. I tried hard rebooting a lot of times and still, nothing happens.
what is the possible solution to the "blank screen" issue that I'm experiencing?

I am running Server 11.04 / Tomcat 7.0.16 / Sysaid ( webapp )
I have configured the Java environment, tomcat is up and running and moved the sysaid.war to the webapps folder in tomcat.
I got to http://127.0.0.1:8080 - verify that sysaid is listed as an app, it is. The .war has extracted in the webapps folder but fails to start.
Everytime I try to start it I get:
"FAIL - Application at context path /sysaid can not be started"..
Anyone have thoughts regarding the fail to run the app? I have hit up sysaid forums, but no luck through searching and or replys at this time...

I downloaded v9.1 and chose to install it within Windows (XP). It seemed to install OK, but when the installation was complete and the machine rebooted, I chose Ubuntu on the boot screen, but all I got was the following message "GNU GRUB v1.97 beta4 - minimal BASH-like editing is supported ... etc" and an input line " sh-grub> " What's happening, and how do I get by this to run Ubuntu? This is my first attempt with Linux, and I can honestly say, I am not too impressed. Now I have a menu on booting asking if I want XP or Ubuntu. Ubuntu wont boot, so, how can I repair or how can I get rid of this boot menu to return my computer to 'as it was' before

When booting up my IBM Thinkpad Ubuntu stalls giving the following messages:
Cannot open root device "uuid=58a5831c-5757-49f8.....
Kernal Panic - not syncing: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.
I am or was using Hardy.
It seems to me that the program is telling me it can't find the hard drive or the partition where the OS resides. I have my drive partitioned with into sections for booting, the OS and my Home directory.

I just downloaded and burned Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit to install as a dual boot on my Dell Optiplex GX270 with WinXP and 256mb RAM. I boot into the CD and I select install now, and then an error message pops up saying it failed to start the installation, and that it is going to start a graphical interface so you can investigate the problem and try again. I really would like to install Ubuntu on my desktop because its much faster than Windows XP and I can't use wubi because of the 256mb ram.

I was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 but my laptop battery went down so the installation did not ended up correctly.
When trying to reboot now, the system is not able to start correctly. No desktop, no icons... nothing.
Starting in recovery mode is impossible too.
Now I am running with live cd.

I have just run a fresh install of Kubuntu on an old PC to try it out for a few weeks. The Boot CD works fine and there is a GUI for the install. It seems to detect all the devices without a hitch. But when the PC reboots it boots into command line. When I try to run startx it gives me "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"I looked up the x.org website and in the FAQ Here it says "This kind of problem typically occurs when you're using a big monitor with an old graphics card. You can solve it by deleting some of the highest resolutions of the deepest colour mode in the Screen section of your xorg.conf, or even the whole last Display subsection."I am using an old pc with old graphics card with a 25inch HP LP2465 monitor. in my /etc/X11 there is only a xorg.cof.failsafe file. anyone any ideas on how to do this. The full error is attached in a very bad screenshot.

I can't get Ubuntu v10.10 to start on VirtualBox running under Windows XP. The installation wen smoothly. However when I try to start the machine what I see is a mere black screen... The boot order is fine. However it seems strange that no data is read from the virtual hard drive (which is about 2.15 GB):
What should I do ?

So I'm currently On Windows XP professional and want to dual-boot with Ubuntu....
Right, so I downloaded first the ISO for ubuntu here: [URL]
And then proceeded to downloading the windows installer here: [URL]
However after "Successfully" Installing, I do not get a choice to boot from ubuntu on start-up...
I have tried several things;
Re-installing - To no effect Downloading EasyBCD, which tells me that I have No BCD file, and when I opened my Boot.ini file, it was blank... Also, there is no folder C:Boot....
Now I don't know what to do and am scared to re-start just incase it doesn't boot to anything...

I am trying to get vmware to work in ubuntu 10.04(x64) and it just doesn't seem to work. I've made it work in debian(x64) before with the same installer but here I get errors.
installation seems to go fine with the installation script: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.x86_64
But when I start it for the first time I get the message before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. and then I can press Cancel or _Install (yes with the underscore) when I press _Install it first stops the VMware Services and then says:
compiling:
-virtual machine monitor(successful)
-virtual network devide(error)
-vmware blocking filesystem(successful)
-virtual machine communication interface(error)
-vmci sockets(error)
after that it says:
Unable to start services.
