I was running Kubuntu Natty Narwhal installed on my USB disk and a download in Firefox was in progress. There was a power failure and now when i try to boot it up it first says:invalid environment block and when continued says: /tmp not yet readyIt cannot automatically fix it. Skipping the mount or ignoring doesnt work. And i dont know what's going on so i cannot fix it manually.

I'm running 11.04 off of a 32gb flash drive. Something about grub on my install is messed up. When trying to boot after a normal shutdown, I get the following errors.
error: invalid environment block
error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
I think something about grubenv under /boot/grub is being corrupted. Loggin in under Ubuntu 10, I can make my way to the files on the 11.04 flash drive and issue the following commands to make it boot normally [URL]... file corruption happening? How can I fix it?
Just installed Debian 8 last night and trying to run one a few of my scripts that use easygui (a front-end for python-tk basically) and I keep getting alloc: invalid block any time a file or folder selection dialog is presented. I'm able to select a file/folder with no issues, but once the dialog closes I get a variation of what appears to be a memory error followed by alloc: invalid block.
Here's one of my scripts that does it. This one pops up a file selection dialog pretty early on to ask for a file to check, and as soon as I select any file the dialog closes and that error appears in the terminal. It happens whether I run it with Python 2 or Python 3. You will need to install python3-easygui for this script to run properly if you want to check for yourself what happens. This is a first time encountering this error for me.

Have been running ubuntu for sometime now and love its functionality...However since a recent update have the following issues..When I power on the laptop I get the toshiba logo followed by grub loading with the message ' invalid enviroment block" "unable to load default boot entries". When I then try to run the laptop off a LiveCd, the ubuntu splash screen appears with the loading process bar (horizontal line) displayed..however it then appears to display a black screen with no further activity..Now all of this is via an external monitor as my laptop screen shows no activity right from the very start with just a blank screen....so am really stuck here wondering if its a harware/software issue or a combination of both...

Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition
(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)
Okay, so I found a couple articles about the new BTRFS for Ubuntu that became available on 10.10, and I was wondering if some people could clear some stuff up for me. I am going to be upgrading my desktop box from 8.04 soon (I know,long time coming, but I had some hardware compatibility issues with recent releases that have been addressed on my end) I'm pretty new to a lot of these terms, so a detailed explanation would be awesome if you don't mind.
1 - Is this file system ready for the home user?
2 - Are there significant performance gains over ext4 and is it stable? If not now, will it be in the future?
3 - When a new subvolume is created, does that act like a partition? For instance, would a home folder in it's own subvolume act like home on a separate partition in the event of a reinstall or upgrade to the root filesystem? If not, what would be the specific advantages to using a subvolume?
4 - When creating a snapshot, is it bit for bit or a compressed image?
5 - Does compressing the root filesystem save a significant amount of disc space?
6 - Is there anything else that would be important to know about this filesystem?
If I have some things confused or misunderstood, it is because I am just starting to understand how some of the foundational stuff in my OS works

I've been trying to resurrect an old laptop (think Pentium 800 old ) by installing Ubuntu on it. I thought I was in the clear after downloading and booting, but then I get stuck at the 'Ready When You Are' screen. This is Ubuntu 10.10I have seen previous such issues caused by caps in the username, but I've not been prompted to even enter a username yet so I really don't know what could be causing this, and I don't know where to begin searching.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to upgrade to the newest ubuntu version (10.04 I think). Now I can't even boot my computer. After the initial "boot" stuff, the ubuntu screen comes on and then locks up in the process. I get the message "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery."I've tried "waiting" overnight to no avail. I tried the "S" command to skip and got the message "[141.233783] Adding 1502036k Swap on /dev/sdb5. Priority-1 extents:1 across:1502036k"
I think the manual recovery is what I need to do. When I type the "M" for manual recovery I get a maintenance shell with the last line being.Can anyone please give me some commands to fix this problem? I have an OLD ubuntu boot disk. How can I get my computer to boot from it? I tried hitting "esc" while booting up to no avail. I also tried hitting F1 while booting up. I think that used to allow me to boot from the CD drive...but doesn't work now.
I have an annoying issue when loading Ubuntu it gives a message sdc1 and sdb1 being not ready. I have to press S to skip the two messages and continue loading.
The problem is that sdc1 is my DVD drive and sdb1 is my USB drive, so naturally they are not always present.. Its really annoying, is there anyway I fix this so it stops doing this every time I reboot.
Also I think its connected but if I do boot without these present, when i do plug for instance my usb drive in once loaded, it will not mount, I have to reboot with it plugged in.
I've tried to install Linux systems have been failures. Trying to make this work, trying to get on the right wagon, and it's frustrating as all get-out.
Installed netbook remix onto a HP Mini 1000 (1116NR?) and everything seems to be working alright, except no wireless networking. I tried a couple of things and now it shows "device not ready" instead of "disabled", so I figure I'm getting somewhere.
The device is:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I want in. This is my 3rd try over the years of running Linux and I always hit snags like this that I can't fix because I've never gotten to play with it enough to learn what I'm doing and generally don't have a 2nd computer like I do right now.

I tried them both and if i press S then it gives another err msg: 'The disk drive for /tmp is not ready or not present' ; 'Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery' now if i press S then it shows a black screen with this msg:

I took out this 120gb HD from an old computer which I recycled. I took out the SATA cable and an IDE cable just in case I would need them for the installation. This would work great as a backup HD for my current 320gb HD. I have never had a backup HD, so I don't know how it works. I have numbered my concerns to make for easy reference.
1. First, however, is one concern I forgot to address. When I looked up the documentation for my computer (Inspirion 530), it mentions that "NOTE: For additional drives, extra screws are not shipped during initial purchase of the computer, but are shipped with the additional drives." This is terrible! Had I known, I would have taken out some screws from the old computer, but now it is gone, and I don't know what kind of screws I need. I don't even know where to buy them.
2. In terms of installing the new HD, I read that all I need to do is connect the SATA cable and the power, and then boot up to BIOS, where I would "activate" my drive. Then, Ubuntu should be able to identify it immediately. Since I am thinking about doing a fresh install to 10.04, I am thinking about formatting this new drive to ext4, and then backing up my important documents/pictures/music onto this second drive.
Finally, I would boot up to the 10.04 live disc, and simply do a fresh install onto the 320gb HD, knowing that my files are backed up on the 120gb one. Would this procedure work fine, or would Ubuntu have trouble identifying the HD?
3. My final concern is regarding automatic backups. Assuming that I am able to install the HD perfectly, and get a fresh install of 10.04, I want a program or mechanism to help me backup on a regular basis. I know that Mac users have a convenient program called "Time Machine" but there is no such counterpart for Linux. I also know that there are some command-line utilities that I can use, but I would like to stick with a GUI.
after my recent update in ubuntu 11.04 64bit that installed a new kernel, my first boot into the os stalled for a long while. i think it said it was checking the disk but did not show any signs that it is working. i left it for half an hour or so and had to force restart it.
from then on, my ubuntu gives a black screen when i boot. choosing recovery mode it tells me it cannot find /home saying /home is either not ready or not there.
i tried to do a fsck and it says fsck.ext4 Unable to resolve UUID=e8629....not impt. probably the /home partition that is messed up. i used gparted to look at my partition and true enough my /home partition is now an unallocated partition space.
this is my setup. i have a win 7 ubuntu dual boot
