After applying the latest update on my Ubuntu desktop from the update manager, I couldn't boot into the GUI ANYMORE!!!!
I think it might have something to deal with the NVIDIA update? I am not sure!
Even the Recovery mode wouldn't boot me into the GUI!
the failsafeX Run in failsafe graphic mode didn't work! -Fatal server error: no screens found.
I was downloading a new OS on my computer, it was going to be a dual boot, and then my computer froze. When I restarted my computer I couldn't boot my old OS or install the new OS. When I go to recovery mode I don't know what to do, it says to either enter the root password or press ctrl+d to skip the recovery. How do I enter the root pass? Just entering the pass by itself makes it says 'bash: no job control in this shell'

i got a external hard drive for christmas and i installed ubuntu on it. then i couldent boot in to anything if the USB wasent pluged in because of GRUB so i removed GRUB and now i cant see my external USB drive in windows to formate it

I am writing this from my new MozillaFirefox browser, operational for 3 minutes.I started researching Linux Dec 27th, bot a couple of books, bookmarked about 20 sites c/w howto', FAQ's, LinuxBook, etc., printed about 250 text files (exhausted my lazer printer), downloaded/burnt DVD's for Slackware 13.1, Mandriva 10.1, utorrent (x windows so I could download it all), Easus Partition Manager and am finally here.
I couldn't get Slack to boot, nor could I get Mandriva to go either it has taken me 1+ month to get here. Finally gave up on booting from a usb and external hdd (thanks to a pair of SATA you know whats!)Yesterday, I repartioned my C drive (ooops, sda) and loaded up Mandriva...couldnt get it to function either. Tonight, went through the driver install program available with the load disc and read (& wrote down) the driver "failure" output. Reloaded the DVD, chose upgrade vs install, got to the hardware configuration screen and played with my video and sound settings, and voila
I had issues on my last install , I couldn't boot into it cause I accidentally uninstalled python 2.6 and everything it was attached to. So I reinstalled on a separate hard drive, I can see my other file system from the media folder but the only thing in my home dir is these 2 files 1 read me that says
PHP Code:
THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA.
From the graphical desktop, click on:

Investigation yielded that the ahci.ko driver wasn't loaded (but libahci.ko was). However I listed both ahci.ko and libahci.ko in the mkinitrd -m parameter so there had to be an error in the new /sbin/mkinitrd script. It turned out that a grep at the end of the script weeded out my ahci.ko module as the searchterm "ahci.ko" was already detected in the modprobe line for libahci.ko.
I decided to fix it in an easy way : I just prepend a "space" in front of the module name at the line where the grep is called :

I recently lost the default panel from the top task bar, a message appeared on boot up saying a config file was missing or couldn't load - or something to that effect. I didn't realise to what it was referring until the computer (an Acer One) completed its start up and I could see the desktop
How can I restore the panel? (graphic from my other Ubuntu laptop attached showing the default panel appearance)

The Ubuntu version I want to install is Server 10.04 LTS 64-bit. My new machine does not have a CD-ROM drive, so I had to install Ubuntu via USB flash drive.
After following Ubuntu official website instruction and use "Universal USB Installer" to "burn" iso images into USB drive, I could boot Ubuntu via USB smoothly.
However, after going to the installation menu, hitting ESC key twice to enter the command prompt screen, then typing "install modules=ppp-udeb" and going through the installation process, the installer just didn't try to probe my pppoe connection and there is nowhere to set pppoe config. Also my NIC cable had already connected to the pppoe device.
I have a problem with my acer aspire laptop and The screen is like completely black i mean if you hold a flashlight to a certain spot you can see a tiny bit. i was on another thread earlier and the posted this "This fixed a black screen issue and a brightness adjustment issue after installation of ubuntu.

If I have did something wrong just get a mod to delete or move this. I don't use forums often.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI finally understand why I couldn't get Clonezilla to work on my system. But, I am more baffled than ever.
You see, my system has been in great working order for months. I am running 9.10 32-bit and I keep everything maintained on a daily basis. I just updated to kernel 2.6.32-19 and, like I say, everything is working pretty much perfectly. But, yesterday, I volunteered to help with some official Canonical Ubuntu testing. This morning, I got an email from them that they want me to do the work and giving me instructions on how to proceed. The first thing to do is free up some disk space in order to have a special partition on which to install their testing kernels.
So, I downloaded their suggested tool for doing this, gparted. And, when I ran gparted, the first thing I discovered is that my disk drive has absolutely nothing on it! No partitions, at all. It only sees an empty device, /dev/sda. This is exactly what Clonezilla told me a couple of months ago - no partitions could be located to be backed up.
However, I and Ubuntu think I do have partitions:
Code:
$ df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 ext3 19G 1.5G 16G 9% /
udev tmpfs 502M 360K 501M 1% /dev

I can't install filezilla. I've searched and written the line (sorry can't emember what it was exactly) in terminal, but it didn't find filezilla. I then found another thread and tried writing as shown by aysiu in the screen grab. But, it got to 99% and then after ages said it couldn't finish (see screenshot).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am a web designer and don't know anything about servers. My server service provider use Linux environment and sometime it would be much easier for me to have a local server to test my websites. So I have install a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 to one of my computer. Half way installation, the system tell me something like couldn't configure the DHCP, I have checked that my router has enabled DHCP servers (D-Link 615). After installation and logon, I use sudo pppoeconf command and try to set the network.
But it said something like no PPPoE access. I know I am very dull, and maybe get ban from this forum because I have not read the instruction, it will be great if you can point me to the right page. All I want to do is have something like a web space + MySQL and support PHP to work with.
It's been days that I've been with this and I'm getting to the end of my wits.
I tried to create a RAID-5 volume with three identical 1tb drives. I did so, but I couldn't mount the new volume after a reboot. Mdadm --detail told me that of the three drives, two were in use with one as a hot spare. This isn't what I wanted.
So I deleted the volume with the following commands:
mdadm --stop /dev/md0
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
mdadm --remove /dev/md0
Then I rebooted the machine, and used fdisk to delete the linux raid partitions and re-write an empty partition table on each of the drives. I rebooted again.
Now I'm trying to start over. I purged mdadm, removed the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file, and now I'm back at square one.
Now for whatever reason I can't change the partition tables on the drives (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd). When I try to make a new ext3 filesystem on one of the drives, I get this error:
"/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the sytem; will not make a filesystem here!"
I think that the system still thinks that mdadm still has some weird control of my drives and won't release them. Never mind that all I want to do even now is just make a RAID-5 volume. I've never had such difficulty before.
I'm new to linux, have been somewhat of a computer geek my whole life and thought it about time that I delved into the world of linux. So I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer. I love it. However, I can't get my wireless to work. In my dorms there are no ethernet hookups, so I have to use the wireless. I typed "sudo lshw -class network" into the root terminal. The important things that I figured out was the bus info: pci@0000:4:06.0 and the pysical id: 6 (not sure if the physical id is important but it sounds like it is). I then did a lspci and found that at bus 04:06.0 it is a RaLink Device 3060. I downloaded the .tar file for the driver. I could not find instructions for it online so I followed the ones for the rt2860 driver : [URL].... I could not get it to work, It built ok and installed ok, but when I do the modprobe I get an error saying the device or resource is busy. Either that or that it cannot be found. One thing that I found weird was that I couldn't get it to build a 3060 driver, it would only build a 3562 one.
