I hope someone can help me. Been using Ubuntu for over a month now (My first foray into Linux) and I love it...BUT I'm having an intermittent problem that seems to be getting worse:Ubuntu will be working fine....then I'll go to open a program (like Chromium or Thunderbird) and it won't open. If I already have Chromium open, it might become unresponsive. If I'm downloading something, it will start acting weird (Like last night- I was downloading c.600MB file and Ubuntu went into dysfunctional mode- and said it was downloading a 2006453 GB file!)
Also, when it goes into dysfunctional mode, any dialogue boxes that come up (like the shut-down confirmation box) will be blank- just pure white- with no text or buttons visible.I can't even run any terminal commands when this happens, to try and diagnose the problem, because either terminal won't open, or if it does, it will be blank like the dialogue boxes- i.e. the purple background will just be replaced by pure white, with no cursor or text).I'll then restart the computer when these things happen, and then I'll get the "The disk for /tmp is not ready yet or not present" and have to press "f: to fix it- then it will boot up and work fine- sometimes for the rest of the day...sometimes for 5 minutes.
Since I don't see anyone else complaining about such behavior, I assume the problem is with my 'puter or my installation? If anyone has any ideas, please help. I really don't want to have to switch to a different distro- as I love Ubuntu///and I don't want to have to reinstall - as I have it configured the way I want it and plus it's on a partition (Still need to keep Win-D'ohs around just for when I want to use Magicjack)This is starting to happen several times a day...HELP...can't. Go. On like this![My 'puter's specs: Compaq Presario SR2170NX P4 3.0Ghz 1G Ram 150GB HD -all I usually do these days is email and the web]

I have Ubuntu 11.04 on a disk, and installed it on an empty hard drive. When I start my desktop my screen is black with a flashing "_" in the top left corner... Nothing happens. I usually have to restart the computer multiple times before it will actually work. I tried running Ubuntu in recovery mode and fixing any broken packages, but no luck.

First off, i have ran 10.10 for the past 6 months without any problems. Then last week i decided to try 11.04. I installed using Wubi. Now the problem is the computer only freezes when I am using a web browser (firefox). it completely freezes where I can do nothing, so I will kill it with the power button. When i try to restart, not even the bios will boot up, just a blank screen with the num/caps lock key flashing.
But after trying to restart several times the bios and boot loader will eventually come up and will start up normally until the same thing happens. I decided to reinstall using wubi so when i tried to boot itno windows, the windows partition was corrupted. I fully restored windows and installed 11.04 with wubi again only to have the same freezing problems.
I will be trying 10.10 again and see if it just a 11.04 issue, but thought this problem should be out there if anyone else has a similar experience

I am having a problem with my internet connection. It only works half the time. Usually when i start the computer it doesn't connect until i restart anywhere from 1 - 10 times. I did sudo ifconfig while it was not working here is the output:

I had been manually starting my wireless network with "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "my wireless router id". The network would start and work flawlessly for weeks at a time. I can't ask my wife to find the essid in the terminal and then start wireless manually when I'm not here. She hates and fears the terminal. So I downloaded gnome network manager for a point and click interface on gnome panel.The network would start fine but shut down after anywhere from one to six hours. It would then refuse to restart manually or otherwise. I completely uninstalled network manager and tried wicd instead. The same basic problem is happening. The network will restart if I reboot the computer. My system:
Desktop computer acting as proxy server for the internet. Internet connection is by a dial up modem. This computer uses a wireless pci card connected to a dedicated hub. This is for file sharing via nfs. The OS is ubuntu 9.10. My wife's computer sharing the internet using a proxy to my computer. File sharing via nfs and a wireless card. Also running ubuntu 9.10. This same basic system worked flawlessly under Ubuntu Hardy.My desktop was updated recently with new hardware which created the need to move to Ubuntu Karmic. Some hardware was too new for hardy to deal with.

I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS from Ubuntu 9.10 earlier today. I started the upgrade process, after around 4 hours everything was starting to install. But then certain errors began to pop up. Soon after, the upgrade dialog exited because of too many errors (a screenshot is attached below with other documents).
Right now I have to back up by files and do a fresh reinstall.
Icons are all over the place, some have been deleted, and application menus are "scrambled". Nothing really seems to work except my web broswer, Opera, which isn't a Canonical Ubuntu application.
I have attached to screenshot of the upgrade dialog and the other documents the error dialog wanted me to attach.

I've just installed Fedora 12 (32 bit) KDE on my test system and have a couple of issues.I haven't played with Fedora for a couple of years, so I'm not very familiar with it. I haven't had the problems with Kubuntu, OpenSUSE nor Mandriva, so I'm a bit in the dark here. I'll see if someone can help me with my sound issue, before moving on to the next problem. I've read seveal posts about sound issues, but not sure exactly if any are the same as I'm having.
After installing Fedora 12, sound was all working fine. I think installed all the available updates, which is when the problem began. Basically, I have sound in Hulu, Firefox videos such as CNN, etc. But, I have no sound at startup or shutdown....system sounds, I suppose I should say. I have disabled SELinux and the firewall, before I began updates. Looking in KInfoCenter under Audio, I see:
Audio Devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONF VIA8247 with ALC655 at 0xc400 IRQ11 In System Settings>Multimedia I see Internal Audio Analog Stereo as the only device shown. I have unchecked Mute and have all volume controls up all the way in KMix, which shows HDA Nvidia on the tab.

I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.

I have a suspend problem in my laptop. Sometimes, when resuming from suspend, the network adapter is down (that is, the network does not work and the light of the network adapter is off). Restarting the network service doesn't work, because I think that the system forgot about the hardware, and probably the driver should be reloaded.Does anyone knows how to do that?(ps. /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work, because the hardware driver is not being recognized anymore).

Whenever I choose "Restart" from the GDM screen, GDM appears to shutdown, and the first TTY is displayed with a login prompt at the bottom (assuming I haven't used that TTY). I am by no estimation a patient individual, but I waited a solid minute or two for something to happen, but nothing ever did. I end up logging in as root on that TTY and running "shutdown -r now" to get the job done. This is a shared computer, and ideally any user should be able to perform shutdown options graphically from GDM.The only mentioned workaround doesn't apply to me as I am using the nvidia driver, not intel.

whats the difference between restarting/stopping apache using 'service httpd restart/stop' and apachectl restart/stop. I know that using 'service httpd restart' is actually a script in /etc/init.d/httpd but what about apachectl?

I am noticing really odd behaviour after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10 (via 9.04). My server frequently becomes unreachable. I am using it as an application server, running Apache, JBoss and MySql. Once the server goes idle, all web connections time out. SSH also times out. Usually the server wakes up on second SSH attempt and then everything: Web, SSH etc seems to run fine.
This is a server machine with no GUI. Can anyone point me to power management or other such settings I can tune from commandline? I have disabled power management by adding kernel parameter acpi=off. I still have the problem. The first network connection after the machine has gone idle takes a long time. All later connections run pretty smoothly.

Why does barrybackup only work some of the times? I can charge my blackberry and run a backup of it some of the times but I can never figure it out. It either works or I get the error "(-110, No error): Timeout in usb_bulk_read. There is no rhyme or reason to when it does or does not work. It does not work more than it does work.

I installed 10.04 today and so far it has crashed a lot of times.It's not so much of a crash but, the screen goes blank, the top half of the screen keeps flashing with white and black lines hanging vertically.I can't do anything when this happens, I just have to press the tower, and it brings me down to the shutdown screen.

Whenever I turn on my computer, asks, (after I enter my login password) for the password for my "default keyboard settings" (or something like that) 4 times and my WEP 128 (whatever that is) password. I just hit "cancel" or the little "x" in the corner, but it's a bit of a nuisance to do it each time I turn on my computer.
How do I get Ubuntu to stop asking me for my password for so many things?

There seems to be quite a craze about reducing the Ubuntu boot times to 10 seconds. I never really reached the 10 second mark.. for me it was more like 30 seconds from when I selected Ubuntu in GRUB to when I was prompted to type in the password in GDM. First of all, is this what is meant by boot time? Secondly, I know this already is quite a good 'boot' time, but just for the sake of tinkering around, is it possible to reduce the time that elapses between the GRUB menu and GDM?

I have tried multiple times to report a bug, but can't. All I can find is this USELESS guide: [URL]Is this seriously the ONLY way to report a bug? I can't just fill out a form somewhere without running software to do it? When I try to do it the way explained in the guide, it tells me that I'm using a stable version of Xubuntu, and that only people running dev versions (like 11.10) can report bugs.Are they saying that all stable releases are perfect in every way? Surely one must be able to report a bug for them...?

I'm running 10.10 on an IBM Thinkpad R60 with 3GB RAM. I did a clean install of 9.10 and 10.04, and recently upgraded to 10.10. With all three, I'm noticing mething rather strange; after passing the PC's BIOS screen, I get a flashing cursor for about 20-30 seconds before Ubuntu starts booting. When I did the clean installs, I completely erased the hard drive, so I'm not sure what's causing it. The hard drive activity light is on when this happens, as well. It's very strange, as I have an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a slower hard drive and less RAM than the Thinkpad...yet it boots up faster, with no flashing cursor.

After I accidentally broke my first successful install of 10.10 netbook edition on a flash drive, I have been COMPLETELY unsuccessful in trying to put it back on my flash drive.I have a 4GB PNY flash drive that I have been able to boot from in the pastI want Ubuntu 10.10 installed on it so i can use my own customized OS on school netbooksand i've tried 4 times to get something to boot up, each unsuccessful because it can't seem to read the Casper file.Nothing I use seems to be able to create a working Casper-RW fileI've tried using the Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com as suggested by the Ubuntu download page. It can't seem to figure out how to create a working persistance fileI've tried using the USB startup disk creator from a Ubuntu 9.10 boot disk.That keeps stopping and saying there is some sort of error.I've had a problem with the casper file before, and someone mentioned I should use an ext3 instead.

I've been running the latest beta via Wubi on my work PC for several days now, and it's been locking up randomly 2-3 times a day. I'm also using it on my home PC and haven't had this issue. My Work pc has a newer ATI card so I tried with an without the proprietary driver, and if anything, this happened more often with the open source driver.
Here's an LSPCI if that helps, It locked up again about 20 minutes ago.
