Ubuntu :: Couldn't Boot Old OS Or Install The New OS
Mar 8, 2010
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'

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 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:
or
From the command line, run:
And then this file
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop
But when I click it and try to run it I get this error

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.

After installing Slack 13.37 on one of my systems while using my own (non-standard) kernel it refused to boot as the harddisk couldn't be found anymore. 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 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).

would like a word if it just simply doesn't work on a Samsung netbook? I tried both the netbook and desktop ubuntu using the provided ISO burner to boot in USB. Set the USB to be read first but it's just only a blank black screen. I've tried re-downloading and re-burning the ISO.

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)

I just switched over to Ubuntu this week due to problems with my previous OS. I have an M-audio Keystation 88es that I was using with Live 8.1.1 on Windows XP, but when I tried to install Live on the new OS I couldn't. Is there an Ubuntu compatible software/drivers that will allow me to manage/play my midi keyboard? I've tried a few programs but with no luck so far

I'm trying to install Semantik 0.7.3 on OpenSUSE 11.2 and having difficulties with the dependencies. Here's the last message my terminal spit out on my attempt to start building:
--A whole bunch of stuff the forum apparently won't let me post because it thinks it's URLs and I'm too new--
error: could not open /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/KDELibsDependencies.cmake
--End
I'd had some problems with dependencies on the way to this message and installed gcc and g++ successfully to solve them. But now it's telling me can't find KDELibsDependencies.cmake. I've checked it out - it's not in the directory. After installing cmake, I'm kind of at the end of my wits - I just don't know where to look further.
Another hint that seems to be connected with it: As I was trying to install rkward 0.5.3 (also today) it had problems with cmake too:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:84 (MESSAGE):
ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in

I was having a problem with cairo dock, asked on the board how to resolve was told to reinstall the visual driver for my monitor since I have an ati vid card since with the updated kernal u have to reinstall those drivers(didn't know that, I'm new to opensuse). I thought I did that before so I completely uninstalled it so I could then do a fresh reinstall but I wasn't paying attention and my laptop was unplugged for a while. I stepped away while the install was going on and my laptop died.
I tried plugging it in but had to restart my laptop when I did I got the command line rows and when I tried to start GDM it wouldn't start, I did so as SU. Attempted to connect to the internet via networkmanager and couldn't get wifi or wired to work. Anyway I can access my desktop visually just so I can start yast and install the driver or will I have to reinstall 11.2 or use the cd to repair? If so how do I use the cd to repair?

g++4.4.3 has already been installed in Ubuntu 10.04. However, g++-3.3 is needed to compile a stupid source code (g++-4.4.3 does not work out).
[Code]....
Other g++ versions, including g++-4.1, g++-4.2, g++-4.3, and g++-4.4, are available. Why g++-3.3 is not on the list.....

it started with rooting my Motorola Droid. I got quite interested in the whole rooting/linux "world". The only problem is, my hands move A LOT faster than my brain does. I'm an "educated novice" at best when it comes to all of this and still learning slowly, but surely. I followed an online tutorial and before I realized quite what i'd done, I had dual installed Ubuntu linux 10.10 on my laptop. ISO'd this, partitioned that and realized....i'm in way over my head. Then I started researching how to just go back in time and get my "safe" windows vista back until I'm ready to make the switch to linux and just ended up getting more confused.
How do I actually BOOT into Windows on a dual boot computer that I apparently just created? How, if need be, do I undo everything I just did in the past few hours and careless tinkering? If I decide to stay with Linux, how do I get my damn wireless router to recognize?

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Presario V3000.
To prepare the install, I freed about 15 GB of space, booted from an USB. I chose "use largest continous free space" when it got to that point and then proceeded with the rest.
Now when I choose vista it will not load properly, here's what happens:
1.Windows says loading windows files.
2.After a while, I have to choose a language.
3.Windows looks for operating systems to repair.
If I choose not to, it will take me to a menu where I can choose to fix boot problems, command line, etc...
Linux is running very well, vista is the problem here, I have a recovery disk*, but I wanted to ask you guys if that is the correct move. I really need to keep windows to run some windows only apps.
*This disk was burnt on another computer, an HP from a friend who has the same vista edition. Will this work? This computer's burner is broken..
This is actually something for my gf, she has an account on my computer(only ubuntu on it) and uses it often (Mendley, Zotero, and sciency things in general). She loved it and asked me to install a dual boot with her win system. She use SPSS for whatever kind of statistical analysis it does and she likes ms office better then open office, and I would like to leave her with the choice....

I am trying to install Ubuntu on a machine that already has Windows 7 on one partition. Obviously I intend to install it on the other free partition. So I downloaded the iso burnt it onto the disk and pop in the disk and the boot the machine. The installation screen comes up I selected the first option (Try Ubuntu without installation), I just see a prompt after a few seconds and then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. Unable to detect a signal, The monitor goes into standby. The same thing happens if I use "install Ubuntu" option as well. I downloaded minimal install version Ubuntu and tried to install with that. since its old school installation, the installation completed without any errors, but when I restart the grub come up and when I select to boot into Ubuntu, I see the same behavior i.e. the screen goes blank and never boots to anything. This is a machine on which I was using 10.4 until yesterday.
