My Ubuntu stucks very often. For no visible reason. Music in audacious is continuing playing, but i cannot press anything on the desktop or buttons on keyboard. Caps lock also dont respond. Mouse is working, but i cannot press anything. Only solution is reset.
View 1 RepliesI'm randomly getting 'Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery...' or something like that at boot ((it flashes very quickly)- If I don't press anything, I'm prompted for my password (I configured it to login with password) and the desktop loads...

I was using my 1TB hdd to dual-boot linux, windows, and for storage...Yesterday, I imaged the linux partition, and restored it to an approximately 66GB partition I created on a 150GB hdd...Besides the 66GB partition, the rest of the 150GB hdd is 'unallocated space'... That's when the above message started...Below are screenshots of the fstab and partitions as they are now...

My hardware is a Gateway LT2104u netbook.Bought it today, took it out the box and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu.Now here is the problem.The touchpad works fine. I am able to move the mouse all over the screen, the keyboard works find too. The problem is with the mouse click. The clicks are recognized when I am in the 'overview screen'. For example I can click on firefox and it opens. However once firefox is open it does not respond to any clicks. Even clicks to close firefox.
I push Alt+f4 to close the program and then I can click into any other (or the original) programs, but once inside the problem replicates.The problem was present in the 'live cd' during install as well.Does anybody know what might cause this? The whole netbook is useless at this point since I need to click to pretty much do anything in most applications (the Terminal program is one of the few exceptions )

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a tablet computer running 10.04 and I was wondering if there is a way under Linux to have click and hold be a right click like it is under Windows Xp/Vista/7 this is really the last piece of functionality I am missing on the system under Linux. I have tried easystroke but I do not like that I have to disable it in order to use Xournal on the system so that will not work for right clicking...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI got this keyboard no found error...no problem since my grub menu 1st entry is ubuntu...so once I got to load ubuntu, the keyboard magically works.
Basically when booting, it show "Keyboard not detected, press f1 to continue" then at the grub menu, I am not able to select win xp or anything. So by default 1st entry is ubuntu so I can boot into ubuntu.
Once ubuntu is loaded, I can use the keyboard to enter my password....
So I was wondering if the cmos battery is flat...but still why can't my key board be detected when booting up?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have noticed quite often that the tilde key only works when I press it twice. I've searched a while and found out that it can be used for accented characters like with the n (can't do that on Windows here anyway). I only know of the tilde-n from Spanish, I've never seen all of the other tilde-characters. And I do not need any of then ever. But I do need to type in my home directory (~) quite often and I want that to work the first time I press that key. Especially when it works through a PuTTY/SSH shell from Windows, but not directly in Gnome Terminal. The system preferences for the keyboard mapping don't help me out.
So how can I disable that double-press feature for the tilde key? It's allright for the accent keys, the � and ` accents alone are invalid characters and should never be used anyway (there's real quotation characters for that) (except for shell backtick expressions) and I don't need the ^ symbol (for coding only) often on Linux.Using Ubuntu 10.4 with German keyboard mapping (de), directly at the machine or via NX/VNC.
I was using Ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 liveusb ver. and then someone unplug my power and then i unaware of it and leave it. after serval hours, i find it and the screen go blacke. when i reboot with the LiveUSB, i find it just same as not being used before. although it is what Live USB supposed to do if someone restart the computer with it, but i check the deafult setting when the battery become extremely low it should hibernate install, and why LiveUSB ver. would loss all data after hibernate as same as restart?

But when I select Install, a screen comes up with three ticks - drive space, power source and internet. When I then press forward, all that happens is the cursor changes to a spinning disc. Nothing else happens. I can still click Quit so it's not frozen, it just won't do anything.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10-i386 on my HP a6242n PC and whenever I restart or turn it on from shutdown the computer lights up but nothing shows on my screen until I press a key, and when it does start up it's just starting the boot

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu was working perfectly fine until this morning. It is the latest release (10.04 I think) and it is the 64 bit version. This morning I go to my computer and see there are some updates waiting. I install the updates without paying much attention to them. I really do not remember what the updates were. Then Ubuntu asks me to restart so I restart. After restart I get the usual log in screen and I hear the drums. I put in my password, press enter and then the log in screen disappears and I expect to see my desktop. But that does not happen. Instead in a split second after disappearing, the log in screen reappears and I hear the drums again.
At the beginning I thought that I simply forgot my password. But that is unlikely because I have been using the same password for 6 years now. But just in case I tried an incorrect password and I got a different behavior. If I put in an incorrect password, Ubuntu will simply say "authentication failed" and the log in screen will not disappear. When I put in the correct password, the log in screen disappears for a split second (as if my password is correct) but then instead of taking me to the desktop it takes me back to the log in screen and sounds the drums again.
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 bit edition. On booting Ubuntu wouldn't mount my partitions, so I installed pysdm to auto mount them during booting. But since then I often get during boot: Press S to skip mount or M for manual recovery. What should I do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've set up a RAID6 array with a normal hard disk (/dev/sda) for boot. However whilst rebooting the computer I noticed that ubuntu is booting into a splash screen asking me: Can't mount /dev/md0 (which is my RAID6 array) Press s to skip, c to continue, something along those lines. The reason for this is that one of the drives from the RAID6 array was showing Uncorrectable read errors towards the end of the disk.I was unaware of. I'm in the process of replacing this.
As this server is completely headless (all I have remotely is SSH), I had to plug in a monitor and keyboard to find out that all I had to do was press S to get it to boot. Wasted around an hour for that!
So my question is, how do I get Ubuntu to stop automatically trying to mount /dev/md0 before it boots? Booting so that I can get SSH access is more important than getting the raid drive. Here is my /etc/fstab file (note I've put a # in front of /dev/md0, sdg1 and sdh1 are external ESATA drives, UUID is the swap):

so far I have copied all of my info off of windows 7 and wanted to change to Ubuntu.I downloaded the latest netbook edition and followed the help about the pendrive installer.it booted successfully but got to writing about your name and computer name and said at the bottom 'ready when you are' i couldn't press forward so now I am running my OS through a USB.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI gave up on XP - not the place for long sob stories - and decided to try Ubuntu. I know nothing, so I chose the 10.04.1 because it said stable... made a CD, took it to the problem computer, tried several times to load, then noticed that "Wubi" loaded from windows. I hunted down a 10.04.1 Wubi, and it seemed to read rather well. No error messages, told me to remove the disc. I did, told me to reboot. I chose ubuntu and it froze with the words :
Completing the Ubuntu installation:

Every time I login, compositing is disabled. I have to manually go into settings and Desktop and press 'resume compositing.' When I press it, it says: "compositing has been suspended by another application, press alt+shift+f12 to resume." So if i press the key combination, of course it does resume, but i have to go through this process every time i start the computer. here's my xorg.conf:

I have never in a year had a problem with this d-boot system. Two days ago I tried to boot into ubuntu like every day. It started to load normal, went to the ubuntu logo and paused for about 15 seconds and posted this under the logo:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted
/: waiting for /dev/loop0
/tmp: waiting for (null)
/boot: waiting for /host/ubuntu/disks/boot
Press ESC to enter a recovery shell
I have looked everywhere and tried so many things, I can't look any further. All I have been doing for two days is trying to boot this system.
My Update Manager stopped working for last three weeks. When I press button INSTALL UPDATES in Update Manager, nothing happens just Reading packing information is executed and when it is finished nothing continues,so nothing I chosen is installed. I have tried to fix broken packages in Synaptic Manager, but no change.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up an Ubuntu server and I keep getting strange problems with my editor.I'm not sure if this is because my keyboard configuration is wrong or I screwed up the installation but regardless it's quite frustrating.
When using the movement keys (arrows and numpad) I get "[" brackets and "C"s, if I hold down or push down on the key hard a list of errors and text comes up, usually involving something that says something like:"Mount disabled" or "____ disabled press CONTROL-X to restart the shell"Similair problems are also found in vi (when in insert mode).I have been plagued with text editor problems and have need several reboots just to get out of a file, often because it just flat out stopped responding to keyboard commands.
The system worked fine for me until one fine day, when I boot up I get this message: BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart
I checked the BIOS to make sure it ran the correct drive first but no go. I tried reinstall ubuntu but it doesnt seem to work. I dont have windows running on this machine.
I write sources in VIM and i use the following settings:
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
And I have got some questions. 1:Is there any way I could do, so when I press backspace to delete an entire tab instead of individual spaces ? 2:Is there anything to do to delete a tab if I insert a closed curly bracket.
Code:
int main (void) {
} // <- and this one gets perfectly aligned
I installed 10.04, and now i cant get back to windows. I have Ubuntu on one hard drive and windows on the other one. When i try to boot up, unless i go to the boot menu and select the hard drive with Ubuntu on it i get the message boot-mgr is missing, press Ctr - Alt - Del to restart.
