Ubuntu :: System Hanging On The Grub2 Boot Up?

Mar 1, 2010

I've read the various Grub2 posts and even the guide, but unfortunately for me I can't seem to come up with an answer to my problem. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a new hard drive on a friends laptop, but I have problems with the system hanging on the Grub2 bootup.I'll post the screen

recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save-env recordfail; fi
set quiet=1
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
search --no floppy --fs-uuid --set ac1b1d46-bac1-4140--953e-70a8a61be8b0
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUI=ac1b1d46-bac1-4140-953e-70a8a61be8b0 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic

If I hold down the left shift and then press E to edit and remove the search --no floppy line entirely then press ctrl-x the system boots just fine. I then opened up a terminal and did sudo update-grub to try that but it didn't fix it. Is this a problem in my bios looking for a floppy, I tried with the boot from floppy enabled and disabled (but always as the 3rd boot option) the floppy is not installed. Is there anyway to edit the file and save it so it will boot up? I was trying to research that and could not come up with it.

Ubuntu :: New User - Updates Installed - Hanging Boot

Dec 29, 2010

I've got 10.4.1(rev190?) installed in what I guess is Wubi and have been running dual boot for a couple of weeks now. My other OS is XP. I recently ran the updater then shut the computer down for a week. I can't remember now if I had to restart to complete any updates or not but my laptop battery is fried so once I unplugged it after it completed shutdown all power was removed from the system for 9 days. Today I tried to boot Ubuntu and after I chose it from the boot menu it flashed some sort of message about WUBILDR really quick (I wasn't able to read it all) then went through its normal boot until the Ubuntu splash screen where one dot went red and the system hung.

I allowed it a good 15 minutes to see if it would unhang but no dice. It boots fine on XP. Any advice? I'm reading the Wubi Megathread right now but as I'm new to Ubuntu I figured I'd check to see if anyone else experienced these particular problems here, too. Right now I'm going to download the Ubuntu installer to a disk to try some of the Megathread troubleshooting.

Ubuntu :: Boot Hanging At Checking Battery State

Jan 16, 2011

Today when I went to boot up my computer, it hung at "Checking battery state...". I have never had any problems before this, and have been using 10.10 for several months. The only change I made that I can think of was installing the Wacom Control Panel. I have no idea what to do, and really, really don't want to reinstall Ubuntu unless there's no other option.

Fedora Installation :: F13 Is Hanging On Boot

Jun 11, 2010

I've been having trouble with my desktop ever since I upgraded from F 11 to F 13 last night. Finally, however, I got the proper version of the nVidia drivers installed. However, it's stopped completing boot. I've edited grub at boot to get it to show the boot messages and find that the last thing it reports is success in registering the binary for Windows applications. After that, it just sits there, doing nothing. I can go to an alternate console an d log in, but that's all.

If I log in and run startx, it fails.It reports that it was unable to load the nvidia module and "no screens found." Does anybody know what I should do next?I've removed both kmod-nvidia and akmod and am going strictly with the nouveau drivers.I've booted, used Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get a console, logged in as root and run the setup program to configure X to run that way, then returned to the main console and logged in as myself. Shortly after my wallpaper shows up, and long before I have a working desktop, it goes white and stays that way. Aside from getting a different video card (The old one worked Just Fine right up until I upgraded.) what else can I do?

Ubuntu Installation :: Freezing, Hanging, Blackouts And Being Unable To Boot With 10.4?

Jul 12, 2010

I am having problems with freezing, hanging, blackouts and being unable to boot with 10.4. After having replaced the hard drive 3 times, and after reading much about these problems, have decided to regress to 9.10. How do I do it? I am weary of cleaning my hard disk to download 9.10 in case it freezes in the middle of the process.

Ubuntu :: Upgrade Hanging Up The System - How To Get Old Style Boot Up Screen

Feb 15, 2011

I just recently installed updates from Ubuntu and the system is hosed. I get the Ubuntu screen that flashes real quick then it goes to the Nvidia like cursor. I am pretty sure something is hanging up on startup. I cannot get to a console, cannot do anything but reboot with ctrl alt del. Then I get the briefest flash of the screen but not long enough to see where it was hanging up at. I ran the same updates on this machine, if I could get the old school informitive startup screen instead of the windows like tell you nothing start up screen I might at least know where to start looking. Right now I have zero clue as to what the updates broke. I cannot even get to log files as there's no console, no ssh, nothing. version is Ubunto 10.4 LTS.

Fedora Installation :: 12 Hanging On Boot (most Times)?

Nov 26, 2009

I have just installed Fedora12 x86 64. On booting more often than not it hangs just before completing the login screen.I will try some of the options in the wiki. In the mean time has anyone else experienced this and resolved it.The odd thing is although the keyboard is not on, (num lock light goes out as boot starts and only comes back on if it has fully booted), the mouse will move around the screen but the click has no effect.Note the same behaviour was shown on the x86 64 live cd which I needed to install to enable me to create a bootable usb stick from the x86 64 DVD.

OpenSUSE Install :: LiveUSB Hanging At Boot?

Nov 26, 2010

I have been trying and failing to install openSUSE 11.3 for the last couple of days to replace my Ubuntu install.

I have downloaded the openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso (have downloaded numerous times in case it was a problem with the mirror I used) and done the standard dd stuff, as well as trying it from my windows partition with the ImageWriter app.

When I try and boot with the USB drive plugged in my system hangs at the boot screen and the usb drive starts flashing as if it is being read, this continues indefinitely and never goes beyond the boot screen and i eventually take the usb drive out and restart.

When plugging the drive in when Im in ubuntu it shows up as "openSUSE Live CD GNOME" and all the files seem to be there. In gparted it doesn't recognise the partitions or anything but I presume this is normal... Also reduces the size of my drive to the size of the Live CD but again I presume this is normal...

I have also tried installing using the NET iso however I have exactly the same outcome.

This laptop is a Acer Travelmate 8371 and has had Ubuntu, Mint, and Windows 7 all installed from the same USB drive. There is not optical drive so I have no other ways to install openSUSE.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.1 - Boot Hanging On Starting Jexec Services

Jul 2, 2010

New Intel x64 system installed with Opensuse 11.1 (like the KDE 3.5 option) and has been running well until today. Booting stops at "starting jexec services". Even while booting under "failsafe" system halts at "starting jexec services". Unable to boot to command prompt to attempt repair. Ran "repair" option from install disc with no good results. Still will not boot past jexec services.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - Delay / Hanging Of 3 Minutes During Boot Process

Aug 4, 2010

Every time I boot up OpenSUSE 11.3 it hangs at the same "position" for approximately 3 minutes and then continues to boot. Unfortunately I see no corresponding error log e.g. in dmesg output. Hence, I don't know what is the reason for that. Here is my dmesg output. The delay occurs at 20 seconds after beginning of boot process (line 1085). I also analyzed the boot process with bootchart.
My computer: Notebook Lenovo ThinkPad R400.

Debian Installation :: Boot Back Into Debian Hanging Up

Jul 11, 2011

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this pst or not, first on this forum. I just removed Fedora Core 4 from my system and installed Debian Sarge with the 2.6 kernel. I'm a newbie. The install seemed to go fine, after it was done I actually logged in and looked around some. I then restarted to check to make sure that my boot process went ok and I could still get to windows. Worked fine. Then I tried to boot back into Debian. It hung. I rebooted and tried again. Hung again in the same spot.

Ubuntu :: FTP Hanging On LS Command?

Jan 1, 2011

Using the latest version of Ubuntu. Trying to ftp to an ftp server. Able to successfully login through terminal but when I try and list the contents of a folder I get "200 PORT command successful" and then it just hangs. I thought it might be the server but I've tried it on different Mac and Windows machines and was successful. I can only assume there's something in Ubuntu which is blocking it.

Ubuntu :: Telnet Session Hanging On 9.04?

Apr 25, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a wireless networked host machine. The wireless NIC is usb based. Its running inetd for network based servers (telnet, ftp etc).For some reason telnet, ssh or any application specific connection, hangs for a few seconds and then comes back. This happens after every few minutes. I do not loose any sessions or any data flowing across but it is sort of very annoying.It is a dual boot machine and I have also got Windows XP 64-bit. When am running on windows this does not happen, hence am not sure if it is something to do with the wirless nic or something else

Ubuntu :: 10.04 LTS Server Hanging During Bootup?

Sep 14, 2010

I seem to have the following problem with Ubuntu. I have two PATA drives in my server. The OS is loaded on the first drive which is the master and the server functions fine. This is what I want to do is to have two 120 gig drives in the system and mirror them. When I put the second drive in set to be a slave the bios see's both drives. After the bios shows what is in the system it hangs with the cursor in the upper left hand corner and will not boot beyond that point. If I unplug that second drive it will boot up with no issues.

Ubuntu Installation :: Hanging After First Reboot?

Sep 20, 2010

There's a strange problem, after installing ubuntu 10.04.1 using wubi.

The installation goes fine in Windows, unpacks to an empty 15gb ntfs partition. After restarting to complete the installation, it would'n find the grldr but fixed that by copying over the wubi* files installed in C:.

Now the problem, the boot screen shows for a few seconds, switches to the default ubuntu wallpaper, the mouse cursor is there and working, and that's it. The installation doesn't continue, the keyboard won't work; Also I've tried all the additional options the installation offers when it asks to press Esc.

The system:
Wubi installed size: 15gb
32bit Ubuntu 10.04.1
4gb installed ram
nVidia 9800gx2

Using ubuntu for a month on my netbook determined me to add it to my desktop so I hope this gets fixed

Ubuntu :: USB Flash - IOWAIT And Hanging

May 28, 2011

Most of the time when using USB flash drives under Linux, the OS will lock up at 100% IOWAIT, with a load average of 12-18. Even my music stutters and stops. Using USB drives makes my Core I7 3.0GHz HyperThreaded act like a Pentium 2 running Vista. It's embarrassing. A client asks for a file, and it takes me 2 hours to copy it. This is a deal breaker. I've been trying to find a solution. If I can't, I'm sorry to say I'll be leaving Linux for something that can use USB drives. I've been using Ubuntu for 4 years, I'd hate to leave. Don't take that as threat, just a stark fact based on business decisions.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Hanging At Purple Screen?

May 5, 2010

My problem is with the new Ubuntu 10.04 Installer, and the Plymouth Bootloader.

I have installed Ubuntu plenty of times before on my hardware setup, so 10.04 shouldn't be significantly different, however I can't seem to get it to go past the purple screen with the red dots.

If i let it sit there for a while, then press an arrow key, it takes me to the text which is as follows:

Code:
(process:404) : GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user(0)
unable to open '/dev/mapper/nvidia_afgjfcea'

Ubuntu :: Gnome-do Hanging System And Login

Jun 16, 2010

I'm running a fresh install of Lucid without any issues thus far. I have my computer setup to log me in automatically, without requesting a password.

I installed Gnome-do and set it up to run at login (as I always have). After a reboot, my system is not responding to input from my mouse or keyboard. I can move my cursor, but it will not accept input.

I see gnome-do, which is partially covered by the "Unlock keyring" dialog" (which always comes up, I think to unlock my wifi).

Ubuntu :: Evolution Started Hanging On MH Folder

Jun 20, 2010

I came home, having left Evolution running all day, to find it frozen and unresponsive. I killed it, opened it back up... and same thing. It opens, checks through my folders (I have one imap account, and one MH folder that Evolution dumps my pop mail into.) and freezes.

In the status bar, when it freezes, this is what it's doing:

Opening folder mh:///home/katia/mail;command=ssh%20-C%20-l%20%25u%20%25h%20exec%20/usr/sbin/imapd#inbox(...)

And then it just hangs.

If I disable my MH folder real quick, it doesn't hang and I can use my imap account fine. Re-enabling my MH folder quickly causes the hang again.

I tried opening the MH folder in clawsmail, but it hung also. Mutt was able to open it fine.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 / HP Compaq 420 Wifi Hanging And Not Shutting Down?

I recently installed Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.10 . Everything works fine till the wifi is switched on. It keeps blinking and seems to work sometimes and intermittently hangs the system. Plus the machine hangs while shutting down whenever the wifi is turned on. I tried out acpi=no, pci=noacpi .

Note:I was also getting rt2800_pci_MCU_Status related hardware error and then added rt2800 to the blacklist.cfg , but this does not seem have affected the wifi and the hanging issue.

Ubuntu hangs after the lock screen menu disappears. When it goes into the lock screen and the menu disappears Ubuntu stops responding. Moving My mouse or typing on my keyboard doesn't help.

I have confirmed that nothing is wrong with my monitor or video card using my brothers setup.
