Debian :: Systemd Failing To Start System - Recovery Mode Fine

Nov 5, 2015

My previously running debian system recently started failing with systemd failure messages as some services are being started. It never completes. I can log into recovery mode.

I added systemd.log_target=kmsg systemd.log_level=debug into my grub parameters.

After I do that all that I see scrolling down the page on boot are:

systemd-journald[36] /dev/kmsg buffer overrun, some messages lost
and the occasional
systemd[1] Looping too fast Throttling execution a little

Is there a way that I can boot without systemd using sysvinit?

Ubuntu :: Failsafe Graphics Option In Recovery Mode Boot Fine

Nov 24, 2010

This started a few days ago and I checked back through recently installed packages and nothing looks related. If I boot into ubuntu normally, plymouth looks a mess, but then things boot fine but while the mouse is showing and ubuntu goes about with connecting to networks and so on, but it doesn't register the and input from the mouse or keyboard. It will sleep if you press the power button, but its no more responsive after waking up.

If I boot into recovery mode, and use the failsafe graphics option then everything runs fine. Apart from 3D graphics being pretty slow, which I can kind of understand. I get the same behaviour on all of the last three kernels. I'm running the latest maverick on an HP 6715b. i386 version although the processor is 64 bit compatible. 2Gb RAM.

Ubuntu :: System Won't Boot, Can't Find Safe Mode, Can't Launch Recovery Mode

Nov 18, 2010

I attempted to install Catalyst 10.11 for my ATI HD 2600XT and the system now only displays lines and a large block of pixels where the mouse would go. CTRL-ALT-F1 kills the system and does not provide a command prompt. This is a single installation, not dual-boot, but there is no Press Esc to access the Grub menu during startup so I cannot choose safe mode. I attempted to get into Recovery mode using the flash drive that I used to install the system and it tells me there is no Recovery kernel (I used the 64-bit Desktop installer, not alternative). Does anyone know an alternative to get into the Grub menu other than ESC during bootup? Alternatively, do I need to download the 64-bit Alternative ISO and create a new boot disk with it so I can access Recovery mode? Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

Ubuntu :: Start NBR In Recovery Mode?

Nov 21, 2010

I have a HP mini 2133 with Ubuntu 10.04 NBR installed, but because the CMOS battery went flat and the date on the BIOS got reset to 1980, I now get a failure starting the machine (Superblock failure: Last mount time is in the future). I've already googled on this error, and the general advise seems to be "run fschk and let it complete", but my question is...I don't get a grub screen come up when Ubuntu boots, and Contrl/Alt/F* doesn't bring me to any login windows. So how do I interrupt the startup, and get to a login window before I get the mount error.

Debian :: Start Script Via Systemd - Error

Apr 27, 2016

I tried to set up my linux server with a specific script that can control my gameserver (mta). The thing is, I wanted to let this script be forced to start by the systemd, so I created a service called 'mtadef' (btw: same name as the user).

Here is the service script:

Code: Select all[Unit]
Description="MTA: Primary Server"

[Service]
Type=Forking
User=mtadef
ExecStart=/home/mtadef/mtastart.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And here is my shellscript (mtastart.sh):

Code: Select all#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
   then
      screen -S MTA_def /home/mtadef/mta-server64 -screen 0 800x600x16 -ac
      exit 1

[Code] ....

When I try to start the service by the command "systemctl start mtadef" now, I returns me the message:

"Must be connected to a terminal."

Debian :: Install A New Kernel From Recovery Mode?

Nov 16, 2010

After a large update of software I can nolonger open Squeeze. I get past the grub screen however before the gdm starts up the screen goes blank and stays that way. I have only one kernel showing on the grub screen.

I tried in Recovery Mode: Ctrl+Alt +F keys with effect and startx returns a blank screen, this is why I though to try loading another kernel to see if that helps. I'm using a Acer Laptop.

My question is: Is it possible while in Recovery Mode to load/install another kernel os that when I get back to the grub screen I have another kernel to try to boot into?

Ubuntu :: Recovery Menu (in Recovery Mode) Does Not Work?

Aug 18, 2010

I've got a, as it seems to me, strange problem.I've inadvertently deleted my user from the group admin so I'm in the same situation of a lot of other users (read a lot of messages about it).My problem is that when restarted in recovery mode there is no way I can choose the 'drop to the root shell' or similar in the menu.The menu appears for a second and then I've got an empty screen. If I press a key I've been requested for a username and password that of course is not what I need.

Ubuntu Networking :: LinuxWiMAX - Firmware Installation - Modem Works Fine But Failing To Install Drivers

May 17, 2011

I switched from windows to Ubuntu 10.10. But I'm not getting along with it as well as I expected I would Specially cause I'm not getting the best out of it due to limited web connectivity. I used to use a usb WiMax modem back in windows (which is also supposed to be supported by linux as my service provider said) for internet. But I'm having a hard time configuring it on my Ubuntu. The modem works fine but I'm failing to install the drivers [url]. I used my cell as a temporary modem to get help from the web.

I downloaded:-
i2400m firmware 1.5.0
WiMAX Tools 1.4.5
WiMAX Network Service 1.5.2

According to the documentation, I'm supposed to install the linux kernel 2.6.35 which Maverick comes with anyway.

Then comes the part to install the firmware. The command I used was

Code:

But unfortunately and annoyingly the result is

Code:

I didn't get it. Am I missing any package or something?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Get To Recovery Mode

May 4, 2010

recovering a partial upgrade to Lucid.

4 core Xeon , was running 64 bit 9.10.

Upgrading over the weekend, but it failed, and suggested running dpkg-reconfigure -a

I couldn't launch any terminal/xterm windows, and couldn't login via ssh (kicked me out with xmalloc failure) or through a virtual console (showed garbled characters)

So I had to reboot.

Now the boot process -- I've tried recovery mode for all othe kernels I've got installed, but all fail in the same way:

Code:
Begin: Starting AppArmor profiles...
bash: xmalloc: ../bash/locale.c:73: cannot allotate 225469542417 bytes (0 bytes allocated)
Failure: AppArmor profiles failed to load.

[Code]....

It looks like it might be a libc problem. At any rate, I'd like to get into a recovery console to restart the update.

Ubuntu :: Ctl Alt F1-6 And Recovery Mode (CLI) Don't Work?

Jul 19, 2010

Afraid I'm an utter newbie. I'm using 10.04 64 bit. I only noticed this after I tried to install the NVIDIA driver and all my ubuntu os'es blackscreened after restart. Because I couldn't even access recovery mode, I ended up reinstalling ubuntu, overwriting the old root.I thought the problem was due to the driver, but it's even now persisting. I can run the terminal (within X?) but if I try ctl alt <F1-6>, the screen just freezes until I do ctl alt F7. Furthermore, recovery mode still leaves a black screen after the initial loading text. I need it to work before I attempt reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers again, as I don't want to reinstall the OS and all the programs.

Sometimes it feels like I can do stuff in recovery mode, like Ctl Alt Delete or sudo shutdown, but sometimes not. Not sure if this is related, but grub also lists windows vista and windows recovery as the opposite they should be (I thought my windows was completely screwed until I tried windows recovery).

Ubuntu :: Cannot Enter Recovery Mode

Mar 31, 2011

I messed up my video drivers and now can't get into recovery mode. Pressing the shift key isn't working. All that happens is the splash screen appears in faded looking colors and then fades to white.

I've got an ASUS N61 laptop with an ATI Radeon 5730 graphics card. I just upgraded to 10.10 from 10.4 and was trying to install the open source video drivers. I must have messed something up and can't get to the terminal now.

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Into Recovery Mode So Easily

Mar 8, 2010

This is an urgent problem. I removed my propreitary ati display drivers because I had to update them but I don't know what happened. Now I can't boot. The screen shows the Ubuntu splash screen but then the login screen does not come on. I get a blank screen. Worst of all, I had removed Recovery entries from the grub so I can't boot into recovery mode so easily. It's urgent. I don't want to reinstall with my exams a week away.
