I have just installed ubuntu on my second laptop. However, this one is giving me some grief. After several minutes, it completely locks up. No mouse, keyboard, anything. Just frozen solid. I had some issues installing it, and got around them by checking something like "nolacpi" and "noacpi" with the live cd, but now I don't know how to re enable those options. I'm quite computer savvy, but am still learning how linux works. For refrence, this is the system specs:
HP Pavilion Zx5000
Pentium 4 3.06GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 GPU
1GB RAM
60GB IDE Hard drive
i had previously installed Ubuntu 9.10 (dual booting with Windows XP) whichgave me errors of "Hard Disk Bad Sectors" and then would freeze my PC leaving me with no other option than Re-Booting..[ignoring the error as a BUG) so on advice of other ubuntu users.i tried Ubuntu10.04.
On installing Ubuntu 10.04 it showing the same problem as that before.(freezing few minutes after the login page) and again dual booted with Windows XP.
i don't suspect a hard ware problem because my Windows XP works perfectly fine with the Same hard ware.
Hard ware specifications

PS:its the 8th time i have installed Ubuntu ..so its really frustrating .
I am having this problem with F 10. First I get the infamous message: Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds. at the beginning of the booting process. then after I initiate startx, I use gnome, all works fine and only for few minutes and the system freezes. At first the mouse freezes, then after 30 seconds or so, the mouse's cursor can move but clicks are ineffective, not even Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, or Ctrl+Alt+Del. I have to do hard reset.

A hard reboot is done and the same thing happens after logging in. The system use to work fine up until a few weeks ago. I suspect it may be an yum update.

Running Top shows that Xorg takes 80% of the CPU.
I've been unable to resolve this problem for the past weeks and have come as far as I can trying to fix it on my own. I have a fresh install of 11.04 on a Shuttle ST20G5 with a Radeon Xpress 200g chipset. After 5-10 minutes of usage in X, it freezes solid (no response to alt-sysreq) and displays a white screen (sometimes with a pattern). I believe it's a kernel issue.
Things I've tried but still resulted in crashes:
- Switching to VESA graphics
- Running failsafe / Recovery Console X
- Downgrading X server to 2.09
- Running latest X server via ppa (at least, I think I did this. Maybe I didn't)
- Upgrading kernel to 2.6.39-0 via ppa
- Running the live cd
I get no warnings or errors of note in xsession-errors or kern.log
I have not been able to catch the error or obtain any troubleshooting info. When it crashes, it just crashes.
Firefox grays out and doesn't unfreeze until the entire upload is complete.I can't do anything else on the internet while this is happening.This didn't bother me until now, because I need to upload some pretty high quality pictures to Flickr, and it takes about fifteen or twenty minutes to do so.I'd like if the pictures could simply upload in the background while I do other stuff, instead of completely freezing my internet usage in the process.I don't have a problem downloading files quietly in the background not even large files so why can't I upload files without freezing everything up? Is this normal, or is there a fix for this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have installed ubuntu server 10.04 LTS on my NAS (Thecus N5200 Pro). It runs in much points better than the original firmware (I can do a lot of things more). But I have also 2 problems remaining with configuring my NAS
1. Ubuntu freezes completely when I copy big files over smb. I first thougth it is an overheating problem, but it don't seems so.
2. My raid (raidd 5) resyncs very often. The problem is that the NAS isn't on 24/7. It is only on when I need it.
I am installing Ubuntu for the first time as a result of my Programming teacher starting me on a webserver project that will not work on windows. I dug up an older Dell, about 5 years old, and I keep getting install errors Just under halfway through. The OS will completely freeze for a few minutes then say 'errno 5'.

GSkill RipJawsX 4Go DDR3 C9 1600Mhz

Installed ubuntu 11.04, and now extremely randomely, it freezes completely, cannot get to a console, ie CTRL+ALT+F1, ALT+F2, the mouse do not even move. I have to turn it off and restart. It may not happen for a whole day as it can happen 2 or three times in a row. From what I have gathered, it only happens when I use the PC as I can't remember coming to the PC and finding it frozen. From searching the forum, some people seems to have problem because of the 4 cores of the phenom, but it was very vague.
How can I know better what is happening and how to fix it. I have so little time, I really would love to avoid re-isntalling the whole thing again, as it is properly setup at last.
Well i've been having a problem that my computer randomly completely freezes. A while ago, it happened again, but i wasnt able to log back in anymore, getting this screen when gdm tries to load URL...

When Debian is freshly installed I still need to configure and install my ATI 6950 Graphic card and the X config. Since the latest drivers from ATI I can use the --initial config from ATI. This all seems to work. But also when I use Gnome2 my screen completely freezes. I don't see any special things in my logs. I do remember that with my previous PC I had the same problem. This was the "first" reason why I left Debian for my desktop.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo my Dell latitude E6400 running fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE) is usually connected to a big screen (1920x1200).
Now each time I boot, X becomes unresponsive shortly before or after login for a couple of minutes, and then goes back to normal. This happens both with and without connection to the big screen.
The error messages associated to this seem to be like this, my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is cluttered with them :
Code:
I normally start my computer in the morning, walk off for some tea, and come back when X is functioning, but when I'm in a hurry it's pretty, or very, annoying ... drinking tea / coffee to wait for a computer to start is something people did in the 90s, it shouldn't be default behaviour in 2010 ...
Sometimes, (the most when I'm making changes in something, like the pager, appearance, theme, etc), the screen freezes completely (but mouse is moving) and I have to restart the system.
If I try it again, it crashes at the same point.

When I reboot my machine, it seems to go pretty quickly. However looking at the log it seems that most everything is running after about 8.6 seconds, and then USB starts loading up. The first log entry regarding USB comes at 32 seconds, second one at 62 seconds. The keyboard starts working at 84 seconds and the mouse at 166 seconds.
Note, this same system was running 9.10, 10.4 and various other distros I tested without such problems...
I've removed all hubs, everything is directly connected to the computer. code...
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 half a year ago and everything's been fine and dandy up to recently.I'm running dualboot with Windows 7, and a few days ago when I was in Ubuntu, the whole thing just froze while my CAPS button was flashing like a maniac. Had to unplug my power to reboot.Thinking this was just a one-time case I carried on and booted in again, but same thing happened just a few minutes after everything started up. I have now tried to boot into Ubuntu 5 times, but each time the CAPS button just flashes and I have to unplug the power.
I'm just wondering if there is a quick solution to this, or do I have to reinstall?First time I'm posting here, but I've been watching these forums for quite some time and been able to google myself to workarounds for almost everything,
I buy a new usb network adapter (Through DX), when I try to use it in ubuntu or BackTrack4 Final it is working, and connecting networks even with WPA encryption. But after few minuts it stops working totally. It is showing that I'm connected to the AP but web sites do not respond.
Notes:
- I have another PCI Wireless adapter which works fine.
- The problematic adapter works great on windows.
- A driver CD came with it, including a linux driver which I wasn't succesfully installed.
- A BackTrack3 Disc came with it, claming by the instructions that the adapter will work with it. I didn't try it because i have backtrack 4 final.
It took me dozens of surfing the web hours, and too many restarts,
I got a strange issue here: We are using ISC DHCP v4 which is default in Open SuSE 11.4. These two options 'default-lease-time' and 'max-lease-time' are set in all subnets, with values between 43200 (12 hours) to 518400 (144 hours). See partial dhcpd.conf below please.Now the lease time from Windows client's ipconfig output is only 10 minutes. Why? (dhcpd on servers restarted many times. ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew on client run many times)
Code:
lease-file-name "/etc/dhcpd.leases";
default-lease-time 43200; # 12 hours

I'm using mencoder to capture audio from a Encore ENLTV-FM3 video capture device. I have recently noticed that, since one week ago, when the machine was forcibly restarted due to a power outage, all recordings are slightly pitched, they play back slower than they should.
I narrowed down the problem to the following command line:
$ time mencoder -really-quiet -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-cable:audiorate=32000:alsa:adevice=hw.1:input=0:amode=1:normid=11 -endpos 00:10:00 -ovc copy -oac pcm -of rawaudio -o test-32000.wav tv://69
real 9m54.886s
user 0m5.536s
sys 0m1.740s
$ ls -l test-32000.wav
-rw-r--r--@ 1 martin martin 76800000 Mar 15 17:20 test-32000.wav
Somehow, mencode managed to gather precisely 10 minutes worth of raw audio in 9m 55s. That's not physically possible, unless the capture device's A/D converters are "overclocked". I can't think of any other explanation besides hardware failure. Can that be? Could it be that something got burnt during the power outage and now the capture device's internal clock went nuts?
Since the machine's restart, I've also noticed dmesg is flooded with entries like this:
CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to XXX nsec
Which seem to indicate that the computer's high precision event timer is somehow out of sync. Does this have to do with the audio issue? Can it be that the audio converter's sample rate is linked to the HPET? I'm totally lost here. Has anyone bumped into something similar?
the contact between the pencil and the tablet-drawing-surface does not result in activation. The only way get the pen drawing is by pushing the middle button on the tablet (there are a row of buttons in one side of tablet).By drawning in this rather awkward way a lot of unstable behavior is detected (freezing, drop outs etc.). The same problem occurred in ubuntu 10.10 with linux 2.6.37, in 11.4 with 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 it was gone. I believe that the problem might by in the kernel! In openSUSE i have this kernels 2.6.37.6 , 2.6.39.2 and 3.0.3.2. non of them seems to have the solution that makes the Hanwang work well.. Is it some kind of patch that are missing in openSUSE or is something not set up correct?

I'm building a new system, and yesterday I tried to install kubuntu, but could only get it running using the nolapic option (noapic is not nescessary, and noapic without nolapic won't work). Now I have the system installed but can only get it running using nolapic and therefore without SMP (which is a no go for most people, including me).
When I try to boot without nolapic, the system goes just fine through loading the kernel and kubuntu (that is, until the end of kubuntu's loading screen), but when it's done with loading it displays the login screen and freezes completely. No input or activity whatsoever. Sysrq keys seem not to work either.
I've searched for similar problems but had little luck so far. I'm using a ga-p55m-ud2 mobo, core i3 530 (2 cores with HT) and an HD5770 (if this is relevant at all). I was hoping some of you experienced users could suggest some kind of workaround to the problem (maybe the kernel is configuring the lapics towards a lockup?) or instruct me as to how could I know what the system was doing right before stopping, in order to locate more specifically what's the problem.
I've never used linux as my main operating system (trying to migrate to it now), but I have some notion of it, even though I don't quite know how everything works, so I might not be familiar with some commands or parts of the system operation.
i am getting some troubles with WiFi. I got a Lenovo G550 with a BCM4312, at first i found some troubles making it work but i managed to find a proper driver and it is working "fine" Every 5 minutes or so my WiFi freezes and internet stops working. I don't get disconnected from the network, but until i don't reconnect to it, internet will not work.
Rare thing is, i realised that this happens ONLY when my notebook is plugged in. When it's working on battery, this does not happen. If i use it on battery it works for 30-40 mins (or more) and 3 minutes after i plug it in, it just stops working. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, if there is any information i could give, just tell me. I also have a Windows partition and this does not happen there, either plugged in or on battery.
