Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Update, Restarted, And Now System's In A Loop?

Feb 8, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 in a dual boot alongside Windows vista on an HP DV6000 laptop.It's been running smoothly for months. No problems.Today, I was in Ubuntu, and the Update Manager asked me to update (ok) and then said it needed to restart. I hit the restart now button and the system started to shut down, but never fully shut down. It's in a kind of loop, trying to start up, but not going all the way, and then shuts down again.I did a hard reboot but still nothing - the same loop. I don't even see my HP startup screen, nor can I access the BIOS, much less Grub.I put in the Ubuntu startup CD and it tries to read from that at startup, but then fails and returns to the same loop.

General :: Tool To Show In Logs When System Panicked Restarted Unscheduled?

Jan 5, 2011

I have it at lot that when a system crashes fatally and restarts (due to a power outage, kernel panic, tripping over a cord or something), there is no mention of it in the log. It just shows that the system was started. Is there a tool that will show this in the log? With a message like "system was not shut down properly or had a fatal crash / kernel panic" when restarting? It is pretty easy to do, just have a lock file somewhere that is removed when the system shuts down gracefully and that is left when it is not. And mechanism that checks this when starting up. It would also be possible to tell when the crash occured, as you can update the lock file from time to time and when the systems dies, it cannot anymore.

Ubuntu Installation :: Mythbuntu System Hangs After Regular System Update: "out Of Memory" Errors

Aug 4, 2010

I have Mythbuntu 10.04 installed on an exclusive HTPC and working great... until tonight. After letting the system update some packages (161 packages if I remember right), I suddenly have an issue where the graphical system won't start. After researching I found three error messages that might be causing that.

1. At the start of splash screen I see "UUID=xxxxxxxCD7 not ready yet or not present" I checked in /etc/fstab and found that this is the swap partition. I don't remember seeing this before so this could be the culprit.

2. I'm not at the computer in question right now but I saw a Plymouth error about "mountall" and then the message "plymouth command failed". Not sure if this could be the main error.

3. after a while (usually ca. 1-2 min) I receive thousands of errors of the kind "out of memory"... "kill process XXXX" (process vary wildly e.g. dbus-daemon, mysql, etc)... "process killed"..."respawning"

After error 3, I'm not able to switch to graphical console (ctrl-alt-F7). If I was in the graphical console at this moment, I simply can't switch to the CLI console. I'm always afraid of updating my system since I've seen lots of things breaking afterwards (usually the proprietary graphic drivers) but this is really strange.

OpenSUSE Install :: Update Fails - Loop - Flash Player - Yast2-core

Aug 27, 2011

I am trying to update Flash-player and yast2-core as prompted by today's update icon.

I am now faced with a loop that goes like this:
1) click on icon
2) window pops up, "2 packages selected"
3) click on apply, subwindow pops up
4) click on continue, "waiting for authentication"
5) after minutes of waiting, click on cancel, nothing happens
6) click on icon killing subwindow
7) now back to 2)

Aborting the process, starting at 1) again, same mess

Conclusions:
a) No idea what was going on

b) Use Yast instead of clicking update icon

General :: Audio - Fix A Feedback Loop On My Microphone In System?

Feb 25, 2011

First off, this isn't the usual "physical" feedback of a speaker being too close to the mic. This mic is part of a headset so there's no way for the output and input to overlap and cause feedback. This mic has worked perfectly for me in the past, but I recently re-installed my OS and it hasn't worked since.

It seems as if my audio out is getting redirected to microphone in. If I open up and sound recording program while I have some audio being output, the output will get echoed back in through the microphone channel, although any actual microphone input is never picked up. I can blow or scream into the mic and there's no indication at all that Linux is picking it up.

I'm running ArchLinux with ALSA. I've gone into alsa mixer and played with just about every channel in every way I can think of, and none of the options seem to fix the problem.

How should I fix this? I use my mic pretty much constantly when I'm on the computer, being without it sucks.

Ubuntu Installation :: Updated Xubuntu 10.04...Restarted Into Non-GUI Ubuntu 10.04?

Jun 27, 2010

I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 from CD on my old old computer (specs in sig). It was working swell and then I realized Update Manager was asking for updates. I agreed to all except for the CUPS and printer stuff as I haven't configured my pain in the *** Canon network printer yet.Anyway. Updated that. Requested a restart.I restarted.Next time it booted, it booted into command line Ubuntu 10.04, not Xubuntu as I had installed before. Oh and there was no GUI, just command line as I said before.

Since I am pretty noob, it would be quicker for me to make another install than to try to figure out what to do. I reinstalled Xubuntu 10.04 and all is well. During the reinstall, in the partition section, it was confirmed that Ubuntu 10.04 was installed.

Ubuntu Installation :: System Will Not Boot On Restart After Update?

Apr 24, 2010

I installed Lucid Beta a few days ago and was happy with the way everything worked. The system wanted an update on Thursday night, I installed it and then carried on using it for about an hour, it was then shutdown normally with no errors. On Friday morning it would not boot. I pressed the "on" button it came on, all the other lamps lit ie Caps and Num Lock, the battery light is on anyway, but the hard drive light is not flashing, it's as though it isn't being accessed, but I can hear it? There is no display on the screen. I'm running an Acer Aspire One. My initial thoughts are bios related, but I can't see how that would have changed, then I think maybe the Harddrive is knackered.

Ubuntu Installation :: System Unuseable Due To Interupting 10.10 Update

Mar 24, 2011

I have a server that was running 10.04 and I decided to upgrade it to 10.10 as I had already done this successfully to a different server.The upgrade was about 3/4 way through when I can't exactly remember why but it had to shut down I think it may have got stuck on a simple package update anyhow when I next turn on the server the login screen if different with a purple background and a popup about a gnome power installation error comes up after I enter my user name and password the login box freezes up and a box comes up saying that a unknown process has stop working and gives me the options to 'lock screen', 'cancel' or 'log out anyway' if I press 'cancel' the box disappears and nothing happens if I press 'log out anyway' the login box the bottom bar and the pop-up disappear if I wait a little 'update manager' comes up saying I can partly update some packages after I enter my password to do this though it all closes and does not reappear all you can do is move the mouse.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update My System Without Having Efi-grub Removed?

Jul 15, 2011

I'm running Kubuntu natty on grub-efi-amd64. I've just received notification of a bunch of new packages to install, I believe part of it is a kernel update. When I click on "apply" a window comes up which says "Additional changes are required to complete the task". "2 packages to remove" lists "grub-efi" and "grub-efi-amd64". It lists 5 packages to install 3 of which are linux kernel and 2 of which are the bios version of grub.

How can I update my system without having efi-grub removed?

Ubuntu Installation :: Failed Update Of 10.10 Results In Unbootable System?

Feb 4, 2011

yesterday I performed an automatic security update suggested by the update manager on my virtualized (with VirtualBox on a Windows 7 host) Ubuntu 10.10 installation.

The update somehow failed and left me with an unbootable system. When I try to boot, I am told that various folders, files, and what not are missing. Then the system drops into a busybox and leaves me with an (initramfs) prompt.

This happens with all kernels I get offered by GRUB, although the error messages are quite different from kernel to kernel.

Well, the short of it is this: I don't have the slightest idea on how to get back to a working system and this site is the final straw I'm willing to grab. A complete disaster like this following an update initiated and executed by the system is unheard of in Windows-land; at least I haven't heard of it, yet, and therefore I am going to abandon Ubuntu and Linux altogeteher, if there is no remedy.

Ubuntu Installation :: After Update System Unable To Find Home Dir

Mar 10, 2011

Yesterday did a fresh install of UNR 10.10, all went well with that. After the first log in it found the Wifi and checked for updates. Updated the system and then it went to restart the system due to a Kernel upgrade. Once I did this, that is when the issues started. Firstly when booting up, it just sat at the Ubuntu boot up screen saying:
"The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present"
'Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery'

So firstly I hit S, this presented me with several error boxes (as expected due to setup/config files sitting in my /home folder), I then found that I wasn't able to connect to my wifi (not that it can't see it, just that it won't connect) each time I try and connect it just comes up saying that the wifi is disconnected. Of all the things to fail I was expecting the Bluetooth to and it didn't. Anyway the computer specs are: MSI Wind U100, upgraded to 2 Gig Ram, 320Gig HDD, and wifi card is the Realtek RTL8187SE.

HDD is setup as:
4Gig for Swap (/dev/sdb1)
6Gig for / (/dev/sdb5)
Remainder is /home (/dev/sdb6) (I did make this an encrypted partition)
Can't do any screen shots as I am not able to connect to the internet on that machine (having to use another computer in the house). I have tried to view the fstab file and I am not able to.
