Ubuntu :: Can't Use Symantic Anymore?
Jul 2, 2010
I have ubuntu 10.04 and lost the ability to use synaptech package manager. I was able to use it yesterday and everything was fine;however, yesterday evening it stopped seing my internet connection. I am connected to the internet I can surf the net, but when I try to use ubuntu software center it says "Failure to download package files" and in the in the details it says " cannot connect to [my ip address]:8080 ,now 8080 is the port that i remember closing like this $ sudo uwf delete allow 8080", so i tried to open it with $ sudo ufw allow 8080" but that didn't work, so i tried $sudo iptables -F even though i never installed firewall but that did nothing either.

I was trying to install PlayOnLinux but it froze at about 85% after it downloaded via the Software Center. So I had to shut the Software Center. The PlayOnLinux did install despite the fact it froze at 85%. I can't install any more stuff bec the Software Center seems opened all time some how and I get the "You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software." error.I tried the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" command it gives me this, looks like it's stuck at some connection. I'm pretty new to Linux.
Code:
Connecting to internode.dl.sourceforge.net|150.101.135.12|:80... connected.

I cannot log in into Ubuntu anymore. I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed. My log in setting was 'automatically log in'. Later I upgraded to 10.10. When I changed the password settings to 'Show the screen for choosing who will log in' I cannot log in anymore. When I restart the laptop I see a screen with my name. When I click on it I hear a short sound and cannot enter a password. I made a short video of the log in procedure: [URL] When I go to System->Administration->Login Screen I cannot 'Unlock'. So I cannot change the setting back to Automatically login.
The way I log in into GUI is to:
- go into recovery mode
- log in as root
- log in as myself
- start 'startx'

I have this major problem with the latest version of Ubuntu (10.10). Since I applied this automatic update Ubuntu won't startup anymore.I am 99% sure it's something to do with the graphics drivers. I have an ATI Radeon HD5850. I can still boot up in safe mode in one of the older kernels of Ubuntu. But with the latest kernel I can't even get into safe mode.What I want to do now, is to remove all traces of any potential drivers and then reinstall them. What is the best way to do this?

Having enjoyed Ubuntu 10.10 for about a week parallel to Win7, I can't boot it anymore. I suppose it's because of the following: on win7 I have the Acronis Disk Director Suite (version 10.0). The Acronis OS Selector comes with it. So I thought it might be a good idea installing it before I install linux to be able to switch between the OS's afterwards. Then having ubuntu installed I ran windows and uninstalled the OS selector as I saw that ubuntu has it's own bootloader and the Acronis one didn't even run. I restarted my Laptop and win7 started automatically. No bootloader anymore. So I installed the Acronis OS Selector again and it can't even find linux (It was able to find both OS's before...) even though it shows the linux-partition (I ran the predefined installation where ubuntu partitions on its own) is still installed. So Ubuntu is still on there I just can't run it.
Where did my Ubuntu bootloader go??? (I NEED Ubuntu cuz Windows7 doesn't support my soundcard...)

Accidentally, I deleted Windows root files. I do not know why, but I cannot recover them. The point is that I had installed two versions of Windows XP Pro SP2, so from grub I had other step before starting one Window versions. But now grub does not detect windows, and if it could, I would not be able to start it because of the lack of the files at root.
The result of bootinfo gives:
Code:
I do not know what happened to sdb5. Is it a way to avoid reinstalling windows?

This seems to be a kind of epidemic.
We are at least 3 people on the French Ubuntu forum with the same issue which has just appeared...today.
We start our laptops and they don't boot, we have just the message:
"* Stopping System V runlevel compatiblity [OK]" ...and a blinking cursor.

I've been using Ubuntu 9.04 for a few months now after switching over from XP. I've figured most issues I've had via Google I guess about a week ago, everything I download whether it be from Firefox Or Transmissions won't show up on the desktop screen. When I few the folder in Nautilus, same thing. I can see the files with the 'dir' terminal command. I did try using 'sudo' to lauch Nautilus and was able to see my files. If I drag them out of the Nautilus window and on to my desktop, they appear. Keep in mind, I know the files are in MY directory and are owned by me. Any clue to what is causing this and how to fix it?

My fstab is like this:

When I run hwinfo --cdrom it says:

I have had my server for quite some time now with a website running, but just recently I cannot connect in any possible way. Even from the server itself. I've tried the domain name, ip address, and internal address but it always comes up cannot connect to server. The only thing I can think of is we recently installed nortan security suite on our main computer. I've checked all the settings however and I didn't find anything wrong. Does anybody have any idea what may be causing this? I'm a little tempted to just re-install everything and start from scratch.

I've been using Thunderbird for a while. Well today it wont open anymore.
I'm just getting a very small and empty window frame, but that's it.
I've tried the command line with -safe-mode, didn't work. I've tried the command line with -profilmanager, didn't work.
The weird thing is that when using gksudo thunderbird, it does open (but of course with an empty profile)
How am I supposed to "repair" what seems to be a broken profile ?

I installed Burg and it worked for some time. I installed some apps that I can't remember anymore and closed my comp. I restarted my computer today and Burg does not work anymore, Grub just start like before. I tried to reinstalled Burg and it changed nothing. When I check Burg-emu it shows me the right thing, like if Burg was working. Did it happened to somebody else?

my desktop cannot be locked anymore. Furthermore, after waking up from suspend, I am straight in the desktop, it does not ask me for my password anymore. The screensaver also does not activate anymore either. I'm still using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Latitude D820.

[then a couple of rows mentioning removable disks which is my card reader. And finally just a blinking _ sign.

I've had Ubuntu Netbook as my OS for about six months or so now, and suddenly it won't open anymore. I have a partition so that I can open Windows 7 if I want, but ever since I updated it last night and have restarted it, when I go to open Ubuntu it returns me to the screen to choose which OS to open.

10.04 was working quite well on my Imac G5 with Yaboot for few weeks.
I tried to boot macOSX which failed and returned to Ubuntu which was stioll booting OK as I did not touch the linux part of the yaboot conf.
But Now It won't boot anymore :
- It seems to boot OK till X launching.
- then I get a Black Screen and None of My PC Keyboard shortcuts can get to another tty.
My Next try is to get a PPC LIveCD and try to see if Yaboot.conf is OK.

Not sure exactly when it started, but when you try to click on any icon on the desktop, like Computer, or my home folder they will not open anymore. The screen act like it will but then nothing happens. I can use Dolphin to brows the file system, but I hate it.

while trying to boot in windows 7, I accidentally hit the wrong Grub option, which started a recovery service for window. I got a white screen with red letters saying ERROR and the computer froze there. I decided to reboot it, but now all I get is the Grub rescue prompt.

My Ubuntu 9.10 will not load anymore after installing the updates from the Update Manager. I get the message after restarting under the heading: [1.469482] Kernel panic- not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,2). I am very surprised that this will happen especially after installing the security updates from the Update Manager. Is there a way I can still save my Ubuntu?

My primary OS (Windows 7) which I had installed before ubuntu is not in the Grub Menu and I can't figure out how to boot it up. (It's not in menu.lst either)
I just installed ubuntu, I partitioned it by shrinking my window 7 partition (in windows) and formatted the free space for ubuntu. I can see the windows file system and access the files (143 GB Filesystem in Places) but I can't boot to it
