Ubuntu :: Error: Cannot Read From `/dev/sda'

Feb 20, 2011

I'm moving a few computers around and recently installed via USB drive 10.04LTS onto a machine (Dell Vostro 220 with 1TB hard drive) that previously had mythbuntu and Vista dual booting. I'm still dual booting to Vista.Since installing 10.04 I've been getting an error in the boot that drops me to a shell from grub. After working my way into the painfully slow system. I get this with update-grub:

Code:

Generating grub.cfg ...
error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'.
error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'.
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-28-generic

Ubuntu Installation :: Error On Boot "Read Error After Changing Motherboard Battery

Dec 2, 2010

I changed my motherboard battery last night, and now get "Read Error" on booting to Ubuntu, on dual boot system. This is the most frustrating thing in an otherwise great operating system. It is the second time I have encountered this issue (last time was a change of power supply). I fixed it last time after three days of re-loading Grub2 and playing around Grub 2 updates, etc. Fixed it eventually, but as usual, no idea of what eventuality fixed it. I think I found a web page buried deep in the 'net, which talked about device.map. Do you think I can find it again - not yet - day 2 searching for the answer... This is what the grub script tells us:

Ubuntu Installation :: Error On Boot - Read Error

May 10, 2010

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS however when I attempt to boot the HDD I get the following error message

Read Error

Thats it nothing else, I am able to boot a USB installed version of Ubuntu 10.04LTS no proble. I can boot a Live CD of the same version no problem but when I installed it to the hard drive it just seems to fall over. I've tried adjusting the boot order, putting the HDD first and removing everything else but no joy. Im a linux n00b so no idea what to do next apart from go back to windows.

Ubuntu :: Error: Can't Read From File

Jul 1, 2011

I've had this happen twice. I get this after the grub screen (after I select which mode), it hangs, then says "error: can't read from file .... press any key to continue". I press a key, and it just sits there. I've tried two installs, it booted after the second, but once I activated the broadcom driver, it did it again. So I had to re-install, again.how to prevent that from failing again?

Software :: DVD Read Error ?

Jan 30, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on a Lenovo T61 that is equipped with a DVD player. I have installed the following packages:

The problem I am having is this: none of these players are able to read a commercial DVD. Totem complains about "can't read from resource", xine and vlc "can't read from file input", mplayer "can't handle stream from dvd://1". Most, if not all, of the solutions I've found online call for the installation of libdvdcss2 -- but that was the first thing I did -- and it still doesn't work!

Note that the opening FBI warning and a little intro clip do play, but that is it. Once I click to play from the menu (though it doesn't always reach the menu) it dies.

Ubuntu :: Error Setting Value: Can't Overwrite Existing Read-only Value

I've used gconf-editor to disable the "show_desktop" feature of Nautilus to get multiple wallpapers to work, but now want my icons back. But I can't:

Code:

warnec@lucidL:~$ LANG=C sudo gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'
Error setting value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path

It does neither work with gconf-editor. It says this key is "protected from writing"

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Read From CDROM Error During USB Install

Jun 6, 2010

I downloaded the Ubuntu Server 10.04 64bit ISO and the universal USB installer, created a USB install disk and booted from it. I started the installation and right after keyboard setup I got an error saying Unable to read from CD-ROM, retry/abort. Looking at the alt-f4 log it was unable to find a file, fs-secondary.udeb I hit alt-f2 and cd'd to /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux (I think, this is all from memory) and found that file, almost. The file there was fs-secondaryblahblahblah.ude, no b on the end. I tried renaming it but the filesystem was mounted read-only.

So, cd back to /
Type mount and hit enter.
Take note of the cdrom entry, at the beginning of that line it will say /dev/? Mine was like /dev/svd0 or something like that. Remember whatever that is.
Then type umount /cdrom
Then type mount -t vfat /dev/????? (whatever your device was from earlier) /cdrom
That will mount the cdrom rw so you can rename the file to .udeb
Then press alt-F1 and press enter to retry and the installation will continue like normal.

Ubuntu :: MPlayer - An Error Occurred - Could Not Read From Source

Oct 15, 2010

My system is playing CD's fine but I just tried a DVD (non-BluRay) and I get that error! I have googled about and though I already had the ubuntu-restricted-packages I didn't have all the gstreamer0.10plugins-bad installed (as seems to be the recommended fix). I now have them and MoviePlayer still gives the same error. I also want BluRay's to be playable and I was investigating that when I thought I would check whether normal DVD's were still working (I'm not sure whether I've tried a DVD since I upgraded to MM). The DVD mounts ok and appears on my desktop with the title.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Playback Error - Could Not Read From Resource

Nov 18, 2010

When I insert a normal off the self DVD movie, I am unable to play it, I have tried 3 different media players:

Movie Player (An error occurred, could not read from resource)
VLC (loads the disc, shows a time of 00:00, and just won't play) GNOME MPlayer (pretty much the same as VLC, loads but won't play)

The funny thing about all this is that the one burned DVD I tried (no menus but structured as a DVD) will play, I'm thinking copyright?

Ubuntu :: Burning 11.04 ISO Suspect Hardware - Read Error

May 29, 2011

I'm running Karmic and finally decided to upgrade. When I inserted my blank disc for 11.04 Brasero shows my blank disc as "Blank CD --drive name here -- 17.5 MB free space". I proceed to burn anyway figuring that it's some kind of read error and I have nothing to lose by attempting the write. (I did in fact lose 3 discs, about 50 cents). Disc writes fine but hangs for about 5 minutes during the finalizing stage and then stops with an error.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 SSD Error: Read-only File System: '/target/bin'

Nov 28, 2010

I'm having real issues installing 10.04 to an SSD - I had one SSD fail, and have replaced it with a brand new one, but the 10.04 installer fails at beginning to write files to the disk with this error:

[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/target/bin'.

Curiously:

* Windows XP will install to this SSD with no issues

* I can install 10.04 to a standard HDD with no errors.

What is happening that is stopping me from installing 10.04 to this drive? I am fairly sure that there is no issue with the SSD (I have two brand new, identical OCZ Vertex II 60gb drives which both encounter this error.)

I have tried partitioning the drive using gparted on another machine, leaving 5mb free at the start of the drive, and having a single partition for /, and a 1gb swap partition. "Round to cylinders" was unchecked. The partitioning was successful, and the drives can be mounted on my other machine, but the 10.04 installer encounters the same error.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Read In The 1/4 Second The Error Lasts On Screen Before The Grub Prompt

Jul 14, 2011

This morning I ran an upgrade which upgraded the kernel from 2.6.35-28 to 2.6.35-30 on my Maverick system. I then departed for a meeting and came back to discover that my system had rebooted itself and only booted into an initramfs prompt.

Rebooting again shows a very brief flashing message of "error: unknown filesystem" alongside a few other errors I cannot read in the 1/4 second the error lasts on screen before the grub prompt. Neither kernel boot nor recovery mode options take me anywhere except to the initramfs prompt. I have searched and found a few threads on similar issues, but they all involve different fixes and suggest causes (such as dual booting on an ntfs drive, which I do not do) such that I am unsure where to go from here.

Fedora :: Usb 2-1: Device Descriptor Read/64, Error -62

Apr 23, 2010

I tried to get 3d hardware support in my FC12 install. I grabbed the latest appropriate drivers from the nvidia website for my Geforce 6800 XT graphics card. I changed the inittab file to boot to command line, ran the .run file as root and ran into a couple errors doing so.

I then proceeded to use yum (which i do like but this is a bad scenario for me thus far) to update my drivers to the suggested kmod-nvidia drivers that exist out there. Once all of the installation was completed I rebooted and got the following error displayed at the top of my screen after the fedora loading bubble disappeared. The system just seems to hand at this point....

"usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62"

I did a hard boot on the machine and tried again, this time i pressed the esc key to watch the interactive startup screen and noticed that after "enabling local filesysem quotas: [ OK ]" i get a

***Warning -- SELinux targeted policy relabel is required.
*** Relabeling could take a very long time, depending on file
*** system size and speed of hard drives.

This will continue with asterisks across the screen until eventually it stops and then I am stuck as to what to do from here on out. What could possibly be causing all of this mayhem?I have tried to use the fedora core 12 install cd to launch it into "rescue mode" and from the bash command line proceed with modifying my grub.conf to not use the "newly installed kernel (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686)" that was installed with yum during my kmod-nvidia driver installation.

OpenSUSE Install :: Error - Read Only Filesystem ?

May 25, 2010

I have double boot (windows7 and Opensuse) on my laptop.

My problem is when try to login Opensuse says Read only file system.(While booting a lot of things FAILS(written red) because of Read only file system). So i can't login.

Cause of this problem is want to reach my Opensuse filesystem from windows7.I installed Ext2fsd software to windows7.After installed software can see my opensuse filesystem.But it looks empty from windows7.So uninstalled the software.

After that day try to login my Opensuse.While booting alot of thing fails to load it says "FAILED".and when entered my password after entering my username cant login it says ..... Read Only File System.

How can i make the filesystem Read/write permissions to my opensuse operating system.

I can't use any command beceause can't login. (I will try to boot with Opensuse Dvd)
