after having some boot issues not so long ago, i was pointed in the direction of rescatux, which solved my problem at the time. now im having a number of other issues. i am dual booting isodora mint and lucid ubuntu.when my lucid distro is working, it often becomes totally unresponsive during everyday tasks and when i go to restart (or any of the other options) from the shut down menu, i get the window appearing blank.upon rebooting (by pressing ENTER, which works even though there are no buttons within the window), it tells me to either insert boot media or there is a grub failure. this happens almost every session on the computer.
on the times when it says 'insert boot media', generally speaking turning it off for an extended period tends to work. the times when a grub failure occurs, going through rescatux's rescap leads to no other partitions being identified at least 90% of the time.is this something that anyone recognizes the signs for and can offer me a solution? or does this sound like an intermittent hardware problem?
I'm running Lucid (all updates) with an ATI Radeon 3100 video ini a Toshiba Laptop.
I was troubleshooting a problem with XBMC, and tried disableing the propriatary ATI driver. Now ubuntu will not boot. I've tried recovery mode, and it gets to:
Code:
And nothing else. I've tried CTRL-ALT-F1 and BACKSPACE, and nothing happens. I know that I just need to re-enable to ATI driver, or possible reconfigure X, but I can't figure out how at this point.
I made a post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10753227 but I guess it's closed.I'm having the same issue. I've installed Kubuntu 11.04 32bit twice now. Both times it doesn't do anything when it reboots.No output to the screen.When I boot to the LiveCD and chroot or simply mount the /dev/sda device and run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdaIt says grub installs successfully, but it doesn't fix the problem.
Just did a nice new fresh install of Lucid, and I wanted to change the login screen. I've found a few tutorial on how to change the background image, but I want to change the entire thing.You used to be able to do this through the System > Administration > Login Screen dialog, but now you can't
how you change the default version of python in Lucid. Lucid comes packaged with 2.6 but we use 2.5 where I work. I didn't see much of anything on the web for this topic so figured I'd post something. If you are installing python2.5 on Lucid version 10.04 (comes package with 2.6 only)
i wonder is any way available for replacing bluetooth manger of lucid with natty one?cause as i concerned natty bluetooth manger recognized my corby samsung mobile as a gprs modem while lucid wont.
I am trying to streamline my boot screen/GRUB Menu. I know what I want it to look like (grub_wanted.jpg), and I think I know how to get it by uninstalling a couple of things, (synaptic.jpg). Now I have too many items on the screen, and it looks cluttered to me (grub.jpg).
Disk 0 (500GB): Windows Vista Disk 1 (1TB): Windows 7 Disk 2 (160GB): Ubuntu
My boot disk is Disk 0. Currently when I turn on the PC, GRUB loads from Disk 0. I can then choose either Ubuntu or Windows Loader. If I choose Windows Loader (also located on Disk 0), I can choose to load Windows Vista or Windows 7. I like this setup, but I would like to move the loaders (exactly as they are) to Disk 1 so that I can format Disk 0.
Ubuntu is repeatedly crashing on me. It seems to be Xorg crashing, but apport only reports that various apps are crashing.The screen will go blank with a blinking dash cursor in the upper left. Then a dialog box will popup and say that xorg is running in low resolution mode. I can click ok and everything comes back up fine, but any running apps are gone.
I deleted 2 ubuntu partitions using Vista's manager, and expanded the unallocated space in to the Vista partition. when I restarted a screen came up saying error: no such partition grub rescue> Is there any way I can fix this ( by deleting grub, or something...)
I am using ubuntu 8.10 server for running my sugar crm. because of some reason I can see multiple instances of apache2 running when I issue top command. can I further know about the problem that is occuring.
I know this is more of sugarcrm or php or apache problem but I would like to track the problem.
I noticed with the recent version of Ubuntu, 10.10 that the drop down menus, when selected the sub menus doi not appear straight away. I have to repeatedly go up and down the menu until they appear. They often open a blank box and sometime once selected leave the menu on the screen. This happens on all my machines.
U1 is trying to sync a file which doesn't exist on any of the devices attached to the account nor in the cloud folder. I've tried using U1sdtool to stop it, including the following commands:
I've also tried actually creating a file of the same name that it keeps trying to sync in the hopes that it will latch onto that one instead, but no go. I tried deleting that file, but no go. It constantly loops through the same nonexistent file, over and over and over and over and over...
It also only does this on one device. It does not do that on the other devices.
And, yes, I've done u1sdtool --waiting, and there is the nonexistent file, on the list, with all of the real files that actually do need to be synced backed up behind it.
I need to schedule for a repeated task on my Linux, as the followings:
-) Telnet to a remote node -) Issue a command -) Capture the output in a log -) Logout from Telnet -) Wait for a prescribed time interval -) Then redo , but append the subsequent output in just on file
know which options do we have to write such a task?
I have had this problem (entering the correct password and having Fedora repeatedly ask me for the password again) for a long time (since FC9) and have recently found what I believe to be a solution.
I know, you'll probably think it's extremely simple, but I just wanted to help any newbies to Fedora who might have the same problem as me.
Solution:
Right click on the Network Manager icon, and select "Edit Connections"
Go to the Wireless tab, and delete the entry for your wireless!Then manually re enter all of the settings.
This worked for me with a WPA2 TKIP connection, but it might work with a WPA2 AES also.
this seems like it should be a simple thing, but I can't find it. Is there a bash shell command that allows you to create a string of repeated characters? Like a string of 100 '*'?
Looking at my logs note that the eth1 interface falls and rises many times.

I am using Kubuntu 10.04, but I am posting here because the Kubuntu forums seems to be user agnostic. I just couldn't get past the verificaiton process. This should be a general networking problem that Ubuntu users can answer. On my home network, I have a Windows machine whose shared folders I can access from one machine running Ubuntu 9.04. I've had to do no network configuration on Ubuntu, it just works out of the box. On Windows I do not have a password that I use to login. Ubuntu does not ask for it either.
But on Kubuntu, when I browse the network samba shares, I can see my Windows share, open it, navigate it, but every time I cd into another level in the share or click on a file (say a music file to play), the authentication window pops up asking for a user name and password. What login information should I use here? I tried my Windows user name and a blank password,
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- mismatch
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- does not exist in DB
This should appear just once as :
Quote:
The same goes for last line.
For further information the ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is a table name and it row count is taken from a log and then Database checked for the rowcount to see if it is a match,mismatch,or the table does not exist!
I am getting the desird output just that i need to do something to this output file.
Just installed Ubuntu 10.4 on a computer that normally runs XP Pro. I used a separate drive and unplugged the windows drive while installing Ubuntu (error number one right?). Ubuntu installed perfectly, plugged in windows drive, Windows boots perfectly. My only problem is that I don't have the boot list option unless I go into the BIOS and change default boot drive every time I want to switch OS.After a bit of research I configured GRUB to allow me to dual boot (Windows did not appear at first), but it boots directly into Ubuntu (fine for me, but my mother uses XP for work) instead of Windows. Unfortunately I have some sort of keyboard issue that makes the arrow keys inoperable until the machine has once booted into an OS.
I have recently been trying to change the boot screen (not the Grub screen). I came across a way to change it, however it need to install a .deb file called Zorin Splash Screen Manager.
Zorin is currently unavailable for download, the website seems to be down, as well as the majority of the links I have found to it.
Is there a way to manually switch the default boot screen/animation to the custom ones I've installed? Or, if anyone has a link to the .deb file that would be great too.
I want to give access to a student to a server in order to make repeated trials of traceroute to different hosts. We have realized that it is preferable to use the -T option, as it sends TCP packets that are less commonly blocked by firewalls. However, this option is only available to superusers, and I don't want to grant the student such privileges.
I have a Toshiba NB 205 Netbook. It is currently dual boot with Win 7 and UNR (9.10). The default OS is Win 7. I would like to leave the machine as dual boot, but make UNR the default boot OS, so that I don't have to babysit the machine and choose UNR every time I reboot the machine. BTW, I am delighted with UNR! What a great OS. Really like how it plays so nicely with Firefox. And much faster than Win 7.
My friend was showing me how to change the splash screen and used a app called start up manager (SUM).He changed the resolutions for GRUB and something else. The GRUB screen resolutions has changed fine but after that I get a line of text which I cant read as its too quick.
I installed Ubuntu in my new notebook. It originally comes with Windows 7 installed on it.Everything works nice however every time i boot into Windows7 the grub menu doesn't work any more. i can't boot into windows or ubuntu any more. How do I stop this? Its rather annoying to have to boot, chroot and fix this problem everytime.
I am running Lubuntu 10 from a USB drive. Despite this, I believe this question pertains to any other variant as well. Running from the USB drive with a persistent directory, there is no boot options file that I can locate. As an example, for an installed version, the file /boot/grub/menu.lst can be changed to make boot options permanent.
Is there any way I can do something similar when booting from a USB live version? Specifically, I want to add "vga=799" to the options without typing it in at every launch.
Or is the only option for something like this actually installing to a USB drive instead of just running the live version?
