I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and after running the Update Manager and restarting, I get the following message upon boot:
Code:

Most of the time instead of a pretty graphical splash I'm getting a small low res text version of the boot screen squeezed into the top left hand corner of my display on my laptop with Intel GMA4500 graphics.
Originally I was getting a blank screen with the Plymouth splash only appearing a couple of seconds before log-in. Adding FRAMEBUFFER=y to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash got rid of the blank screen but at the expense of the ugly boot screen mentioned above. To confuse matters, now and again (roughly 1 boot out of 10) I am getting a perfect graphical boot. I've tried reinstalling Plymouth and using different boot themes but to no avail.
After installing ubuntu 64 bit, I installed all my updates and installed the current nvidia driver for my 9800 GTX+ from the additional drivers page. After restarting my computer, ubuntu boots into text mode. I used google and found out a couple of commands like:
After i hit control+alt+f7 it hangs on checking battery state with NO ok to the right of it. after running sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia -current and restarting the computer, the boot hangs on the ubuntu screen everytime.
My specs are:
Core i7 860
4 GB of ram
Nvidia 9800 GTX+
I originally installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my old 32bit Pentium Hp/Compaq dc7100 business desktop, which also has Windows XP installed. It worked fine with the gnome interface, showing the desktop on boot. Over the past year, I used the built in update manager to update the system and apps to 10.04, then 10.10, and a couple of days ago to further 10.10 updates.Last time I booted, it performed a disk check, then booted to a text-mode login-prompt, like on the old UNIX systems before the X gui system got developed.
I have no clue how to launch gnome or x11 and get my desktop back. I don't have the knowledge (or patience) to operate Linux from a command prompt in text-only mode.Will someone tell me how to get UBUNTU 10.10 to launch x11 gnome and show my desktop?I remember having the same problem when I first updated to 10.10, but I don't recall what I did to get the desktop to appear on the display.
I played with the graphics in kde4 and seem to have losy my installation. i have tried the rescue system option, recover system options and in desperation (i was just about to reinstall) tried booting in failsafe mode, and it worked!
where do i go to find out what the problem is regarding the normal boot mode? i think my pc is starting to resent the continual use of the reset button!
The system always boot up in Graphic Mode. After installation of Web Server, I want to disable Graphic Mode and change it to boot to Text Mode to save memory. Is there a way to disable graphic mode?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am not a computer genius. My laptop was notifying me of Windows Genuine Advantage, and I guess I am the last person on earth to know what that is. Now I can only boot in safe mode since it requests activation. There is nothing important on the computer and I only want to use it for watching movies at this time. I want to get rid of Windows altogether, and install Ubuntu. I have downloaded a copy of it and its on my removable drive. I do not have a disc drive on the laptop, only USB. How do I do this? I don't think I have a virtual drive anymore, I think I got rid of the program that was on there.

Would be grateful if anyone knows a configuration that works, as using CMOS/BIOS setup to boot windows is a pain.
So after research decided to go with OpenSuse 11.4 distro.
Installation had no problems but when I try to boot into the normal mode it just gets stuck on the screen that has a loading bar. The loading bar never makes any progress. After having waited for 15min I shut down and booted from failsafe mode. That worked fine twice only and then it prompts me in the command screen for login and password. After I input both it tells me to enjoy but Im still stuck at prompt screen, never loads GUI.
Im now booting windows on my acer Aspire 5633wlmi. It has a Intel Core 2 duo t5500 processor which I understand is 64 bit. So the version of Linux I downloaded was the 64 bit one.
This is after months of Mint, which is limited. One problem. It (Deb)boots to the terminal mode. uh... call me stupid, but I have no idea how to get to my desktop. Never needed that command once in my life. I can't find the answer anywhere. Typical. The most basic info is always overlooked. Whats the command line to get to the desktop so I can reconfig this?

So today I updated my system with aptitude update and aptitude upgrade, and there was few paquages that were updated. Among them was one "linux-image" or "linux-headers". I believe that it is linked to this security update: [URL].... .
During the time aptitude upgrade was running, I was simply surfing on Iceweasel. However, it seems that my system suddenly restarted, without asking me the permission or without notifying me. It really looked like I pressed the restart key, but I actually didn't. My computer battery was full charged and plugged in. So, I do believe that it is my system that rebooted himself after the aptitude upgrade was completed (or even during the upgrade, I don't know).
So my computer restarts, and brings me to GRUB menu: I boot Debian and then I get the usual [ OK ] ***** lines telling that the system boots normally. But this time, I get some errors:
Code: Select all[FAILED] Failed to set up automount Arbitrary Executable file format file system Automount point
...
[FAILED] Failed to start load kernel module
...
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot/efi
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems
I arrive then in Emergency mode with this message:
Code: Select all Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" to try again
to boot into default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
I tried systemctl default but it doesn't boot my system normally. I also tried Control-D but it just reprints the same message. And finally I typed journalctl -xb, which gives me a long log file (855 lines) that I do not understand.
I would give this log file, but it seems that my internet connexion is broken (because of the kernel, I mean), even with an Ethernet cable. So I can't connect with ssh to the computer I use at the moment, and I can't either send it to myself by mail. I tried to mount an usb key, but it seems that any key won't be mounted because of a kernel problem.
An obvious solution to my problem may be to come back to an older kernel version. However, only the lasted kernel version (x86_64 Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64) is installed. dpkg --list | grep linux-image gives me indeed:
Code: Select alliF linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 amd64 Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-amd64 3.16+63 amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
I do not know how to come back to an older kernel, as far as I haven't any internet connection and as far as I seem to not be able to load an usb key.
I have just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 using zypper dup (with all the necessary pre steps). After upgrading X does not start with normal boot, only starts with failsafe mode selected. Otherwise the system boots and works in normal mode, only X doesn't start. I have tried to remove and reinstall the radeon driver, but no success. Tried Xorg -configure, with no success.I post my former (11.2) and actual xorg.conf files. Could you help in getting things work normally. If only possible I would like to avoid making a clean install.
View 7 Replies View Relatedjust upgraded to Lucid. When booting, I get a blinking cursor on a black screen for 30 sec. Then I get some flashes of text about UDEV. Finally, I get a desktop after about 30 more sec.
Any way to speed this up? I've already tried disabling my nonexistent floppy drive in the bios, but it didn't help.
i am using unetbootin to create a live-usb of this iso: freemed-live-0.1-i386.iso (i think it is based on kubuntu). when i turn on my netbook with the usb plugged in i get about 6 menu items (default, live, live expert, linux, ...) but no matter which i select it takes me to some ubuntu text install where it is asking me to select language and keyboard layout.
is there a way make it boot to the live desktop ?
Everytime I try to run Ubuntu, it goes into a screen with Recovery Mode and the only way to get into the graphical enviornment is by selecting "failsafeX" at which point it says:

View 5 Replies View RelatedThinking to be clever, I made some changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and now I cannot see anything on the screen after Ubuntu boots up, just a 'mode not supported' message on the screen.How can I log into Ubuntu in text mode in order to fix the xorg.conf problem? I hope there is a "hot key" to stop Grub right before it starts loading Ubuntu and allows me to log in into Ubuntu in text mode.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAs a measure to improve my learning curve by experimenting and messing around with config files, I would like to install Ubuntu in Virtualbox in text only mode. This would save disk space, improve learn the OS better and also gives the freedom to mess around without worrying too much. Can anyone tell me how to install a simple version of Ubuntu 8.04 (that's the distro I choose since it requires lesser RAM than the current version) in virtualbox in text only mode? During the installation there doesn't seem to be a choice in installation modes. If not, should we install the OS normally and change the run levels afterwards to boot in text mode?
