Ubuntu :: 10.04 Now Freezes On Boot Splash After A Few Reboots?
Apr 30, 2010Since I know there's a lot of support threads going, I wouldn't ask unless I was really stumped and couldn't google. I'll get right to it.
10.04 fresh installed fine, working, few reboots, all good. Installed Nvidia 195 drivers. Not so good, still works fine, but framerates not as good as the 190 drivers I'd been using with karmic. So I installed nvidia-glx-190 and nvidia-190-modaliases with the nvidia PPA for jaunty. They didn't appear on the restricted drivers list, I rebooted in the hope they would, and now my boot process is as follows.
Boot, met with a blinking _
Goes blank
Another blinking _
Green static appears momentarily, then very fast the Ubuntu splash appears, the white orbs all turn orange, and there it hangs. The splash itself is in the wrong resolution.
Everything is the same as when it was working except it didn't totally freeze at the end. It responds to nothing except the power button (and sometimes not), I can't access a shell or the grub menu at any stage during the boot process like I usually would, and nothing in the boot log seems out of the ordinary.
What should I do? I'm on a LiveCD desktop, got the harddrive mounted.

Ubuntu :: Reset All Personalization Such As Splash Screen And Colors In Grub Splash To Default?
Apr 25, 2010If I re-install Grub 2 from the live CD should that reset all the personalisations such as as splash screen and colours in the Grub splash to default? In my case they are not resetting. I would expect them to revert to the default black/white you get when initially installing the OS. the Grub timeout to be a lot less than its supposed to be? e.g. the default timeout setting of 5 seconds is more like 2 or 3 in reality, and when I set my prefered value to 2 seconds it results in being about 1/4 sec or so.

Jan 26, 2011Since updating my graphics driver on ubuntu 10.10, My splash screen has been inconsistant and messed up. Sometimes ill get random command lines mixed in with the usual splash, sometimes the splash wont show and it will just be black till the desktop appears, sometimes it flashes on and off. I originally tried fixing the resolution and just made the problem worse. Then I tried installing a new splash via gnome-look.org, but it just made my shut-down splash blank and didnt effect my splash at startup. I just want the original splash that ubuntu is supposed to have.

Mar 26, 2011I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu, and on the start-up after I pass the GRUB it goes blank for a minute then briefly shows the splash for 5-10 secs and then jumps to the login screen. Also the screen is offset by about 10-15 pixels but from the login screen onwards it is centred. (It's also like this for if I'm in recovery mode)
How do I fix this and Im wondering if it is a hardware problem?
Ubuntu :: Getting A Blue Kbuntu Splash Screen Instead Of The Studio Splash

May 12, 2011When I install Ubuntu 11.04 with Wubi, I get this freeze screen after I reboot and get past the Ubuntu splash screen: url
As you can see, it's a scrambled picture of my Windows desktop. This happens with every other version of Ubuntu also.

Ubuntu Installation :: Booting - Screen Froze After The Splash Screen
Jul 21, 2010I received the Ubuntu CD by mail the other day and tried to install a dual boot with it. I first tried it out by running from the CD and the first problem I had was the screen froze after the splash screen. So I lurked around for a bit and found out that I can press any key on the screen with the keyboard and person to get to a different screen. At this screen I entered "F6" and then entered "nomodeset", this allowed me to pass the splash screen.
Next, I got into Unbuntu but I found out that the keyboard and mouse weren't working, so I lurked again and found out that I have to enter "noacpi" (sorry if I got that wrong, I forgot the name ). I ran by CD once more and everything worked, so I decided to finally install it next to my Vista. However, after installing it goes straight to the splash screen, and the freezing happens again. The screen where the keyboard and the person are not showing up so I have no idea how add the "nomodeset" and "noacpi". So my question is, how do I get to the screen where I can add both those things? Also, is there a way to add it permanently so I don't have to keep pressing F6?
Ubuntu :: Windows 7 Reboots GRUB2?
Feb 17, 2011I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer from a USB. I did not use wubi to install ubuntu. The computer already had Windows 7 installed. According to gparted, Windows 7 is installed in sda1, linux swap space is in sda2. Then sda3 is shown as a drop down menu containing sda5, where linux is installed. A picture to show this is attached . sda4 is a recovery partition that came with the computer.
The problem is that Windows 7 sometimes boots, and sometimes it does not boot. Most of the times it does not. Ubuntu boots perfectly. The process to boot is the usual, turning on the computer, wait for grub to load. If I pick Windows, it goes to the splash screen (which is by the way not the usual windows 7 splash screen, it resembles more the vista splash screen, picture attached. I do not know the reason, and I have no idea if it has anything to do with the problem) About 80% of the time, it simply reboots a few seconds after the windows splash screen is shown. The reboot takes me back to the usual HP splash screen, then grub again. The other 20% of the time, it boots normally and works perfectly well.
Right after I installed ubuntu Windows was shown in grub as installed at sdb1. I updated grub and now it is shown as sda1. I already tried some grub custom entries for loading Windows differently, but they all present the same problem. Please do not discard a custom entry as a solution, as the source I used for these custom entries was not entirely trustable.
I also tried popping in the windows installation disk and trying a system repair, but apparently no errors were found.
Reinstalling grub using Ubuntu live cd (booted from a USB) did not work either...
Ubuntu :: Will Not Load GUI -- Screen Flashes At Splash Screen
May 21, 2010Out of nowhere Ubuntu (intrepid, I believe) has stopped loading for me. When it attempts to load gdm the screen starts flashing at the splash screen and then eventually dumps me to the terminal. From there I can login without any problems but can not get the GUI to load.
When I run sudo gdm-binary it does the flashing splash screen again and then spits out the error message: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found. Then a few warnings about longest graphic displayed 2.5xxx seconds
I tried running sudo dpkg-recondifigure gdm and relaunch gdm as above and it did the same thing.
I was not able to successfully connect to my wireless network through the terminal to try to update in the hopes of that fixing the problem. Perhaps someone can give me instructions on how? (I have tried but can not figure out how to initialize wlan0).
Or, is there something I can do from my installation CD?
Ubuntu Installation :: Get The 10.10 Splash Screen For A Second Then A Blank Screen?
Dec 22, 2010I have been running 10.04 quite successfully, when I upgraded to 10.10, I have a problem with the newer kernels. If I let it boot into the latest one 2.6.35-23, I get the Ubuntu 10.10 splash screen for a second then a blank screen, same with 2.6.35-22. I have to run with 32-25 to get it to load the gui.
I have an AMD Sempron 2800, 1.6GHz pc, but I'm not sure if it's running 64bit.
Debian Installation :: Screen Will Go Black After A Few Reboots?
Dec 14, 2010I've been running 5.05. Just in the last few weeks after I update the screen will go black after a few reboots. I believe it has something to do with the ATI Drivers. If I clean install and install the smxi drivers after a few reboots the screen goes black right before the log in screen. This also happens with Mepis and Dream Linux which are Debian Base.

Aug 2, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 on my laptop about a month back and I have been very, very pleased with its maturity and stability. However, I have seem to have hit a snag with my ventures into desktop Linux: I also dual-boot Windows 7 Professional x64, and it seems that every time I run Ubuntu 10.04, Windows 7 will immediately bluescreen on boot, reboot, and then be fine. I'm not sure what kind of harm this could be doing to the system, but it strikes me as very odd, and it's something I would like to resolve.
I have suspected this may have to do with mounting NTFS drives under Ubuntu, because my Windows OS and all of my media is stored on NTFS partitions. Needless to say, I would really rather not change this, because NTFS seems to be one of the few filesystems with large-file-support that will run with ease under Windows and Linux.
I have tried removing my main Windows 7 OS partition from the fstab in Ubuntu to see if that made any difference, but the problem persists. Could a secondary NTFS media partition mounted in Ubuntu really cause these sort of issues?
Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Reboots When Windows Selected In Grub?
Feb 15, 2010Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and had windows 7 ultimate installed prior to installing Ubuntu. When I installed Ubuntu I partitioned off a section of the HDD that windows is installed on and installed to that new partition. Ubuntu boots and works great but ever since installed if I select windows to boot it just reboot PC all together. Tried making windows default and it booted windows once then went back to normal. I tried to follow suggestions on different post about running "sudo grub" but it is not a command according to my terminal.

Mar 5, 2010I recently installed Ubuntu, my first experience with Linux, but when I try to boot a previously installed Windows 7 from grub, it reboots the system back to the grub screen. I can boot to Ubuntu.
I've been searching for and working on possible solutions for several days to no avail. There are some similar posts on various forums but few quite like mine, and solutions I've read haven't solved my problem. I tried booting to the windows 7 repair disk and selecting the repair start up option, but the message tells me no problems were found.
Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Windows Goes Bsod / Reboots
Jan 9, 2011I have a Toshiba F30-114 laptop on which I want to have a dual boot Windows XP/xubuntu configuration.The problem is that when I install Xubuntu as dual boot, Windows XP gives a blue screen of death for a second and then reboots in the begining of the windows boot sequence.I can choose Safe Mode, Safe Mode With Networking, Safe Mode With Command Prompt, Boot With Last Good Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. But nomatter which one I choose it will result in a bsod following a reboot.I tried to remove the Xubuntu partition, which somehow also resulted in removing the XP installation. I then put the harddrive in an external case and used EASEUS Partition Recovery 5.0.1 on another machine which got back the Windows partition. Now Windows works again without any bsod.

Ubuntu :: No Splash Screen / Why Is So?
Jun 1, 2010I installed 10.04 on my Toshiba laptop, but for some reason there is no violet splash screen with the "Ubuntu" word when the system is loading. Instead there is a bald dash in the upper left corner that keeps blinking and then it is changed by regular font dash, then there are some letters (like system is checking something?) and that's it, one second after my desktop welcomes me. What could be the problem? I feel like I haven't had such a problem when I was installing it on another computer. Though it might be because I am installing from USB drive, but not, installed from CD with the image recorded and still the same problem.

Ubuntu :: Getting Rid Of Studio Splash Screen?
Apr 19, 2010I installed the beta version of Ubuntu 10.4, and on top of that Ubuntu Studio (for the programs it brings with it); but don't like the splash screen.

Ubuntu :: Getting Rid Of KDE Cursors And KDE Splash Screen?
May 3, 2010Some time ago I installed KDE on my machine, though I use gnome as the default. (I rarely login on KDE) .Since then, when I login in my default gnome I get those futuristic KDE cursors, which I hate by the way. I've been trying to go back to my default cursors but I've had no success. I go to System -> Appearance -> Customize -> Pointer and then I select Default Pointer or even DMZ (white) I click on close twice and nothing happens. I've even removed the "oxygen-cursor-theme" using the package manager. How can I get my default mouse cursors back?
On the same note, before I get the login screen and after clicking on logout/restart I get a Kubuntu blue (splash?) screen, I'd prefer not to get this screen. how to get rid of this, too? (Getting rid of the cursors would be most important, but if I can get rid of this screen it'd be nice, too)
Ubuntu :: No Splash Screen In Lucid?
May 23, 2010I recently installed from scratch the Lucid Lynx, and after changing the direction of the window buttons and a few things more (who was the idiot who thought on having a purple terminal?), I completely loved it.
I had one problem through, is that when I boot my computer, there is no splash shown. After the GRUB menu, all I see is a black terminal with no text for some time, and then a quick view of some colored text. Does anyone else have this problem? Here is the appropriate section of the grub.cfg file:
Code:
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2

Ubuntu :: No Plymouth Splash Screen On 10.04?
Jul 1, 2010I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my Desktop computer. Prior to KDM loading, all I get is a blank, black screen with no Plymouth splash screen. I'm confident that this issue is not related to KDE but would apply to all Ubuntu variants. Here are my computer specs:
Kubuntu 10.04 x64 running with all updates
Dell Studio Desktop
Intel Quad-Core Processor 2.66Ghz
8GB ram
Intel Integrated Graphics
I should note that I have full desktop effects running smoothly under KDE with compositing enabled, so my integrated graphics is not necessarily the problem unless Plymouth is not loading the graphics drivers successfully.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Won't Get Past Splash Screen
Sep 3, 2010I just used the update manager to update to the latest kernel. There were other updates there, but I can't remember what all they were.
Now the computer won't get beyond the splash screen. I waited about 15 minutes the first time for it to load. When I hit esc during the splash screen, I got this warning
Code:
GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid-r(): failed due to unknown user id (0
After that I think there is more, but my screen runs out of room, but I have this sense that there is more.
Anyway, that might have nothing to do with the problem. When I boot to recovery mode it finds all the stuff plugged in to the motherboard and USB drives then just stops.
Booting to the old kernel works just fine.
Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Get The Splash Screen To Appear On Netbook
Sep 5, 2010SO, after about a week of research and trying to get the splash screen to appear on my netbook...I've sort of got it...but not. Here's the low down.
1- Had no boot splash at first. Now I do in low rez.
2- Had shutdown splash in Hi rez...now in low rez.
3- Boot splash lasts about a second at best...prior to that... black screen after I select ubuntu from the boot menu.
I have tried editing grub, updating afterwards, startup manager, online text help...nothing seems to be working to get the end result of Nice looking Plymouth splash screens (the nice purplish UBUNTU screens)
My netbook is an ASUS 1005PE with 2 gigs ram. Ubuntu is the only O/S (Boot menu shows the back up of the win7 install on my smart card). I am running the 64bit version. I also have Ubuntu on my HP HDX18 dual booting with windows7. No issues there. Hence my confusion.
Now...I'm not the most Linux sauvy to say...the last time I looked at Linux was Redhat back in '95 or '96. I'm a dos guy... so I'm not opposed to learning...just need to understand it better thats all. Anyways...if anyone can shed some light on this, that would be awesome. Aside form this hickup, everything seems to run just fine.
