I was playing around with my house mates fresh install of 11.04, was going to show him compiz, little did I realize it does not like playing with Unity with wobbly windows. So now Unity wont start at boot and I had to find a round about way of getting to the terminal to then to start Unity manually.
View 2 RepliesI ran update-manager earlier today and when I next booted I was told I had insufficient hardware to run unity -- despite it running just fine before the update. Now every time I boot I don't get the message, but it still won't run unity.I have tried downgrading them by forcing versions in synaptic but I keeps on wanting to remove large numbers of other packages that depend on them.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am facing a problem with my AT91SAM9260 customized board. Board is almost same as the evaluation kit.
I could download the binaries ( Bootstrap-v1.16, u-boot-1.3.4, linux kernel 2.6.20) successfully to the DATAFLASH/NANDFlash in my board by using atmel SAM-BA tool with usb/serialport/jlink.
Here I describe the problem.
When I power up the board, boot strap is not jumping to U-boot location, in the normal boot sequence and board stuck with bootstrap.
But when I disconnect/connect the JTAG USB cable ( provided with SAM-BA ICE) , it's jumping to u-boot location and booting the board properly. I'm getting the same error in NAND FLASH also.
I have tried one more test case.I copied bootstrap binary at the flash location, [location which is specified for u-boot binary] instead of U-boot.bin (location: 0x8400 in dataflash), I got continous bootstrap debug messages in my console. [ So can I conclude SDRAM doesn't have any problem? ]
Bootstrap code or U-boot code ?
I am was running Natty 64 bit on my computer when I though I would download kubuntu desktop so I would have it as an option when logging in. I restarted, played around with KDE then restarted again, choosing "ubuntu" as the desktop manager. Then unbuntu told me I did not have the graphics power (or something like that) to run unity and booted me into gnome 2.xx. Now I cannot boot into unity. Every time I restart it boots me into gnome. How can I fix this?

Running sudo cupsd manually works fine, but I don't want to have to do that every session.This seems to be affecting lots of folks. This thread claims that bug #444597 in launchpad has a solution, but I must be too stupid to see it, and the thread is closed so I can't post there.
All my rc and init files seem fine, bootsplash is off, and, of course, there are no useful boot error logs in Karmic.
I'm having a problem getting my MPD service to start during boot. This started a week or so ago. It's no big deal, just a pain. It start fine when I run the script in a terminal.

I lost power to my ubuntu box earlier today, so it didn't shut down properly. I'm now trying to start it but it keeps getting stuck at 'Starting Up' for over an hour. I've tried pressing escape to boot a different version or into recovery mode. The only difference I get is when loading a recovery mode it just puts up a flashing underscore instead of 'starting up . . .' - it still hangs there. This is a small box without a optical drive which is why I haven't tried a live CD.
I'm not really familiar with linux or boot issues.
However, many of those threads show that adding two lines to the file "/etc/network/interfaces" should solve the problem. I checked on my PC and those two lines are already there.. but CUPS still doesn't start properly on boot up...

View 2 Replies View RelatedSomething happened to my ubuntu 10.4 - I can't see my desktop after boot. As a matter of fact, when I boot I see a message saying: Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery. I left it like that over night, this morning I found the logon box, typed my password and I got to an empty desktop.
I did a Ctrl-Alt-F1 and logged on there, I am looking at /etc.fstab and I see the first lines like this:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

All is working in that the connection between slave and master backend functions without problems.

In addition, the power button on the machine will not shutdown the machine any more - I can only shut it down from the terminal.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I have not gotten anything on the "General Help" I am posting this here: When a Ubuntu 10.10 I have starts up apache2, MySQL and postfix start properly but bind9 doesn't. Once booted is I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start' it starts. The only thing odd on this system is I have a "inet6 v4tunnel" interface defined in my /etc/network/interfaces. From booting in the syslog there is:
Code:
/var/log/syslog:Feb 28 19:02:42 ubuntu named[1029]: starting BIND 9.7.1-P2 -u bind -d 9
/var/log/syslog:Feb 28 19:02:42 ubuntu named[1029]: built with '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc/bind'
[code]....
Even with the bind debug level at set at 90 I do not get any more in the logs that what I posted before. The lack of errors in the logs is giving me no idea where to start. I commented out the IPv6 tunnel interface and rebooted and still no help. bind still is not starting at boot. OK, it is not a permissions issue, I have changed the config and zone files to be owned by bind:bind, root:bind, root:root and bind:root and it has made no difference. Doing a fresh install on a Virtual Box VM and configure it in a similar manner bind9 starts normally. (I am almost to the point where I will rebuild the box)

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince my desktop (Ubuntu 10.4.1 for now) has no need for anyone trying to ssh into it, I want to prevent ssh from starting as a service when I boot up.
If I type: sudo update-rc.d -f ssh-agent remove

I've already removed (unchecked) ssh agent key from my startup applications
I don't exactly when this started, but I hadn't booted my mythbuntu box for a while. When I boot it now, it hangs after grub at 'Starting Up...'. I was running 9.10 64bit, with 4GB Ram installed on an AMD64 3700+ ASUS A8N5X mobo. How can I resolve this? Can I modify boot options by hitting the Esc key before grub? What options should I use? I made no changes myself, it just happened on the next reboot. I hope that I won't have to burn a livecd. I only say that because the only machine that I have with a decent burner is my 9.10 box.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.
I just installed debian 8.0.0..I installed it without "desktop-environment" during tasksel, but instead installed it with "sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-core" atferwards.I want x-win to be present but I do not want it to start during boot.
Adding "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=text" to the grub config used to work but for this new debian it does not change anything. Yes, I did do update-grub2 after editing the grub file, and I also confirmed in /var/log/messages that "text" is present with the kernel command. "sudo update-rc.d gdm3 remove" also has no effect,what I do gnome starts at boot time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed FatRat on my headless system. I am having trouble starting the program on boot though. When I launch it using the -n switch for no gui, it uses the terminal window as a log file, which means I cannot put it in the bootup programs because the constant logging stops the next program in the list from starting.
Is there any way to launch fatrat without the gui, and letting it release the terminal for further commands after?
