I installed ubuntu using wubi. I did updates, and it wouldn't start. Only xp would. I then uninstalled it, and used a CD image. It told be to reboot, and when I did, I got grub recovery, and couldn't even decide which os to load.
View 2 RepliesWhen i open one of the web browsers i use and try to load a web site it's taking to long to respond and sometimes it doesnt load the website at all. I have tried with firefox,epiphany,opera with all the same results. I am sure that this is not a problem with my internet connection because i don't have these problems with windows.Also the network manager connection settings are correct
I also tried choosing the old kernel(2.6.32.24) to boot from but no success.The problem is the same as if i am using the 2.6.32.25 kernel. The strange thing is that i can download packages from synaptic with full speed. Last think.I have recently downloaded the recommended updates from the update manager but i don't remember what are the things that where updated.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu (9.10) on my sisters computer. I have installed ubuntu 9.10, but when I try to boot it from hard drive, it would stop loading a bit after the logo appears. The screen would turn off while the system is still running. Live version of Ubuntu works after reports of errors. I tried to search for the problem all over the forum, and could not find a good lead to figure out the problem.
So far to figure out the problem, I verified if cd is corrupted. No issues there. Googled the problem, and seems like other users were able to install 7.04 (old posts).
Its so weird though that live version works and the installed version does not.
Here are my specs:
I can post logs, but I'm not sure which one is useful as I'm relatively new to this process.
I had Fedora 7 and Windows Vista dual booting on my computer. I just installed Fedora 10. When the live CD asked me where to install it, I chose "Remove all Linux Partitions and create default layout" The installation went perfectly, but now when reboot my computer, it boots directly into Fedora; GRUB does not load to ask me which OS I want to load. I know I did not overwrite Vista because I can still view my Vista files through Fedora. Here is my grub.conf file:

What do I need to do to make GRUB load again upon booting?
I have found that APACHE or 'httpd' is installed in my machine. But the problem is I can start or stop the httpd but whenever I load the url http://localhost in Mozilla it shows a page load error.I have done this ,

then this

I noticed my Firefox loading rather slow (took around 5 - 7 seconds to load and navigate pages, even google, and it would sometimes become unresponsive), I thought it may have been a addon problem, so I opened up a new Firefox profile with no addons but the browser crashed upon loading the certain page I was trying to view, and I figured I'd look into it later and use Chromium for a while (I'll be open, I was trying to watch an pron tube site, and when your, you know, you don't really feel like stopping to go technical and try to fix it or whatever), but Chromium said that the flash player wasn't installed. I thought it was kinda odd, but then again I didn't want to go technical and thought maybe since mozilla firefoxs engine loaded the flash, I'd use Mozilla Seamonkey which uses the same gecko engine. The flash wasn't working either on there.
I tried looking up to see if there was a 64bit deb package for flash, but they didn't have it, and I seen someone mention that doing the 'apt-get upgrade' upgrades it, so I did that, and it also said it installed some extra packages when doing it, but I figured it was just that getlibs grabbing the extra dependencies and went along with installing them (after all there shouldnt be much to lose since its from the repository, right?)
I restarted the computer to give the updates a chance to take effect (it didn't mention to restart, but I thought I'd go ahead and do it anyways to ensure it updated okay).
This is where the booting problem comes in: When my laptop restarted, the loading was going across very slowly (I have ubuntu studio installed through regular ubuntu, so it was showing the text filling up), normally it would just fill a little bit of the first "U" in "Ubuntu Studio" and then be done quickly, but now it goes slowly all the way, and when it fills "Ubuntu Studio", it stills stays there, it doesn't load on.
I pressed the down button to see the terminal and it says this:

I have no clue what to do now, and I wanted to ask for help before I go trying myself editing the command line boot process.
I created an Ubuntu 10.4 iso with the kickstart cfg on it, trying to boot it with the ks=/cdrom/pathtoconfig (tried even ks=cdrom:/path) parameter in VirtualBox but it refuses to load the file and just launches the generic install.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled fedora the other day, and it's been working just fine, apart from the internet. It shows that I have a full connection with the wireless network, but it's really difficult to actually load a page. 80% of the time it just fails and shows "Page Load Error". It's really frustrating because it is connected to the internet. In fact, the icon in the address bar even loads from the site I try to access, but websites just will not load.
I've tested my wireless internet with another laptop which is running vista, and it works perfectly on that. Also, I'm running Fedora 10 on an Acer Extensa laptop.
I want to load grub2 from grub4dos.I want to load directly the grub2 core. I know how to load first 512 bytes from some patition by chainloader and load grub2, but what I need is to load directly grub2 core without passing by bootstriping code (first 512 bytes).So, my first boot manager is grub4dos, then I can load grub2 and later I load Ubuntu. But I think I have to edit --set-root
What I dont know is how.
In hdd 0,7 (sda8) I have Ubuntu 10.10 and /boot/grub/core.img is in sda8 (hd0.7)
I tried this way:

I dual boot XP and FC14 and have 2 routers. I can connect and ping one of these routers when I'm in FC and I have an IP address I just can't load any websites. When I connect to the other router (my main router) it works fine. When I boot into XP and connect to the problem router I can load pages fine. It's only when I'm on FC14 and connect to the problem router that I can't load pages even though I have an IP and can ping around.

Our main software for the company sits on an OPEN SUSE machine with all the database tables for the browser based program we use for orders/pos/accounting/etc. We do trade shows and at the showsdo not always have Internet. To go around this the software company created a standalone version of the software we use on a laptopn at the shows (we use handheld scanners for order entry purposes). The stand alone laptop runs UBUNTU on it. We are supposed to do a download to the laptop from the main system using SSH to download the most recent datafiles. We sign onto the laptop as user sclite.
However, when I run the comand '[URL]... it comes back asking for a password. I have entered every conceivable password I can think of (sclite's, the admins, the root's) and none take. It comes back asking the 3 times thne says not able to authorize. If I run the same command using root '[URL]... and I use the root password, the key appears to download okay. However, while logged in as sclite, I cannot connect and download the files and root does not have the programs. where to look to get the password for SCLITE. Do I need to enter something on the main system?
I'm posting on behalf of my friend who is very happy with his Ubuntu installation on his laptop.
However, he has one problem, and that is sometimes GDM doesn't load, and Ubuntu boots to a text-based login.
When this happens, he power-cycles the machine and more often than not it will work.
He is dual-booting with Windows XP.
My computer crashed in the middle of loading up VirtualBox 64-bit.Now whenever I try to load it I get the following error message.Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time.Please close the other application e.g. 'Update Manager', 'Aptitude' or 'Synaptic' first.I have no other programs open, and I get this error message even immediately I try to reinstall after a reboot.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I turn on the computer, the Grub2 shows up and asks me to choose what OS to start. And from today on, whatever I choose, I end up with nothing. When Linux (Ubuntu) is chosen, then the blinking logo is shown (depicting it's loading) and after some time I can only see a black screen. In case when Windows is chosen, the black screen appears immediately. Kive cd works fine but don't know what I could do with it. A week ago I changed a booting order in my BIOS, so that GRUB2 is loading very fast now. Then I also chose: sudo dkpg-reconfigure grub-pc and selected the disk that had my boot partition. For a week or so it worked fine.

I've uninstalled the package and reinstalled to no avail.
I could use some help running fsck. My SDA1 appears to be having issues. I cant get my netbook to load.
I popped in a USB drive with Ubuntu on it so I could try to run fsck on it, but I ran into an issue.
According to Ubuntu, this drive is using the "ext3/ext4" file system. I read an online guide for using fsck and it mentioned that I must designate what file system I am running or it will default to ext2 and corrupt my files. So what command should I run so that fsck knows that I have the ext3/ext4 file system?
Also, could someone check to see if the commands I am running are correct (these are starting from the terminal from the USB drive)?
# init 1
# umount /dev/sda1
# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
The third command is where I am confused as to what I should type.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy laptop running ubuntu 9.10 load NEVER drops below 1, and generally hovers between 1 and 2. This does not happen on any other of my ubuntu machines.
Any ideas of what to check? I've turned off indexing and watched system monitor. I always sit at 0% cpu usage, no active apps, but always a high load.
Attached is a screenshot showing top (with the load).
In my system monitors up top you can see the middle one in red, which is load. Constantly 1-2. The left one is cpu (almost no usage at all) right right one is disk IO.
I've been using ubuntu for months, the last two updates i have installed by they never worked. so i've just been choosing pervious working install with no problems, which was 2.6.31-17. i've just downloaded another update and now all i can do is select between xp and ubuntu and instead of getting the next selection screen to pick which version ie .17, .19, or .20, to load. all i get is grub ver. "what ever". then a few lines about the tab function. then "sh: grub" i'm a newbe to the code lang of ubuntu. i don't know what i need to type to get it to load the ubuntu operation system??? or to fix the grub selection screen, or why the installs since .17 don't work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI allowed the UNR on my wife's Asus 1000H netbook to update to 10.04 and even updated since but the GRUB menu screen just keeps reloading itself if I select XP. We still need XP... at least for the time being. We can access the NTFS partitions still.
Now if I download UNR and do a clean install will that fix it?
Should I just remove the HDD and reformat it completely on another computer and reinstall both OSs?
Should I reinstall UNR 9.10? (I've heard there are power consumption problems with 10.04 anyway.)
I can be somewhat long-winded at times and I'd rather give a full account of the problem I've always used windows as an OS but have been curious about Linux for a while now, so after looking around online I decided to try ubuntu. I have an Asus EEE PC netbook that came with win7 already installed on it. Last night I downloaded the netbook edition of ubuntu via their website, burned the .iso to a disc via my external dvd drive and then ran the demo. I couldn't get it to boot off the disc when I rebooted, so I had to pick the third option which I think installed some files to the computer in order for me to be able, to run the demo. When it finished that and I rebooted, the dual boot menu came up with both win7 and ubuntu on it. I messed around with ubuntu for a few hours before deciding I wanted to keep it on my computer, so I ran the full installation and selected the side-by-side installation. I remember when the installer asked about the partitions. I wasn't sure what to do as I wanted to keep both windows and ubuntu. There were three options: 1. Install them side-by-side choosing at startup 2. Erase and use entire disk 3. Specify partions manually (advanced). I wasn't sure how much space to allocate ubuntu, so I chose the first option thinking that it would just give me a default amount and would probably be plenty to effectively use the OS. After installation, it asked if I wanted to continue testing ubuntu or reboot and start using the full version. I rebooted, and it gave me no option for windows 7. In addition to this, the update manager came up and told me there were some 200 or so updates available. This is always common with windows when you use it for the first time, so I tried to update, and an error came up telling me that I needed at least +500mb free space for the update and only had 400mb or so. I'm a bit confused, and I've since tried rebooting several times, but windows is still unavailable.
I guess what I'd like to know is why win7 isn't listed in the GNU Grub at startup, and how I can fix that. I would also like to know how I could go about getting more disk space allocated to ubuntu. I thought about just uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it and giving myself 10-20gb of space when asked about the partitions again, but I obviously can't do that right now. The only other thing that I could think of was doing a factory restore for my netbook to get windows back, and then reinstalling ubuntu once again. I wasn't sure that would work though and didn't want to take the chance without getting the advice of somebody much smarter than me.
I cant get glx to load at all and I can't run boxee because of it. I have included all my info in the files down here. the xorg manual and googling does not have luck either. I know it has been covered before but i would not post if it were obvious on fixing it. so either i get this fixed or i say screw this and get new parts. In any case I would hate to have get a new system.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFirst off I have never been too great with Ubuntu but I have been using it for several years now. I had 10.04 and upgraded to 10.10 last night. The installation and download all went smooth and there were no errors. It asked me to restart and I did but now it is acting funky.
Instead of loading my new 10.10 normally it leaves me at a text screen where it says: "lucian-laptop login:" its basically a command line prompt. I can enter my credentials, it will then ask me for my password, and then it leaves me at this:
"Welcome to Ubuntu! * Documentation: [url]
0 packages can be updated
0 updates are security updates
lucian@lucian-laptop:`$ "
I can type in commands at this point but I don't have any idea what to do. I just want to get to my normal GUI and use it like I normally use it. I need this laptop for school so this problem is quite crippling at the moment.
And my laptops names is "lucian-laptop" and my username is lucian, not that you guys didn't already figure that out
I tried booting in recovery mode and it will get to the point where it will ask me what to do and if I say resume it just dumps me back to the prompt.
Also once it did a disk check and then again after completing this dumped me back to the prompt.
If I shut it down I at least see that pretty splash shut down logo.
