Ubuntu :: Unable To Start Up - Everything Freezes ?
Mar 28, 2011
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.

Everything was OK till now. Here's the problem:Looks like it's freezes. It's showing just Ubuntu logo and 5 red dots underneath it while starting up. No signs of booting up (dots aren't changing colors to white). Last thing I did in Ubuntu was changing OS language from Croatian to English. After that, at next startup it start to freeze every time while booting.

I am using 10.4 on a Toshiba satellite pro L100 and have got it working well enough with ubuntu. However, every now and again it freezes on start up and I think it may be before the automatic disc driver check and scan that happens on start up now and again. It gets stuck and tells me
[ 33.117318][drm:rs400_gart_adjust_size]*ERROR*forcing to 32M GART SIZE (because of ASIC bug?)
I only ask as I have to do a hard shut down and computers don't like them do they?

I installed Slackware 13.1 a little bit ago, played around with it, performed an upgrade with Slackpkg, messed around with some settings, and chose a new theme. I had set the runlevel to 4 and when I rebooted after choosing a new login theme the screen just went black at the point where the login prompt should have appeared. I couldn't even get into the CLI. Using a LiveCD, I set the run level to 3 again and was able to log in, but when I try to start X the screen goes black and freezes again, so I believe my new login theme is the culprit. Is there a way to change to the default login theme from the CLI?

I've started having problems with large file downloads. A download will start and after a while freeze. The downloads window reports the correct connection speed and gives an estimated time to complete, but it stays frozen. Small downloads, torrents and surfing are not affected. I can do everything else normally even when the download is frozen. I've checked with my ISP and everything with my equipment checks out.

I have Fed 12, running on kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 I have newer kernels installed, but they will not boot into X.
The updater installed the kernel 2.6.32.21-166.fc12.i686. I can boot into runlevel 3. But if I then give the command startx, I almost get an x-window, I can see the top and bottom, ermm, wadjecallems, beams, but the screen is blank, and then the machine freezes. I can only switch off.

I have had some problems with Evolution. It sometimes freezes on start-up: I have to force it to quit. If I open "System Monitor", and end the evolution-alarm-notify task, then I can restart evolution successfully. I therefore suspect it is that which is causing trouble. What is it and how do I stop it?

Since yesterday firefox (Namoroka) has been constantly freezing; prior to yesterday it worked perfectly. I've tried un-installing and re-installing, but that didn't fix it. I even tried un-installing Namoroka and installing firefox 3.5 (via apt-get install firefox-3.5), but somehow I continue to get firefox 3.6 (aka Namoroka). Anyone know how to resolve my Namoroka issues or how to install the seemingly more stable 3.5 version? I don't know if this makes a difference, but I originally had installed ubuntu and then installed kde (kubuntu-desktop) desktop on top of it. And yes, I've checked my sources.list to make sure mozilla-daily repository is not listed.

I'm a bit of a Linux newbie, but I did manage to set up the following RAID-5 system:1x 500GB system drive on ATA IDE4x 1TB SATA drives in software RAIDLinux = Fedora 13So here's what happened. I set up the system to send me an email every time the mdadm stat file changed, so it would send me emails when in periodically ran a self-test. I was away and noticed that the self-test was going incredibly slow (usually took 8 hours...was on course for taking 250 days!) A colleague decided to just reboot the system.Afterwards, the system would not boot and, while all 5 drives were connected, would stop at an endlessly scrolling error message of: Code: ata4.01: exception Emask 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
ata4.01: BMDMA stay 0x64
ata4.01: failed command: READ DMA

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.

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
