I upgraded the Ubuntu OS from 14.04lts to 15.10 and after a long time of the install the screen went blank. I left it alone for a while but nothing changed. I rebooted the computer but now have no dual boot and will not boot into Ubuntu, it seems to go into terminal and asks for login and password.
What do I need to do?
Help!
Thanks,
Kevin

I do not know if this is the right place to post this thread, but I have a frustrating problem. I recently downloaded a
driver update file for my amd graphics card (which is the first download at 56 MB, more on that later), and when I installed the package on the app store it gave me a warning message saying the file is out of date or something. I didn't really pay much attention to it, nor did I write down the name of the package. I then restarted the computer and when it got to the login screen, a couple seconds after, the screen would turn black and the keyboard would be disconnected from use. Since then, I have been trying to find a way to fix the problem by searching online, but without the name of the package I am doomed from ridding myself of this headache. What I simply ask from anyone who reads this and wants to help is for you to download the file stated earlier and tell me what the application name is on the ubuntu store. I am hoping that I will be able to recover my computer once I eradicate this file from existing on it. To those who want nothing but to help others in need of a solution, I give you my thanks.

Hi
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. I am fairly new to linux/ubuntu but liking it very much. A while ago I installed LXLE alongside Vista with no problems. I did the install as an automatic installation, i.e. I let LXLE decide on how to do the partitioning. I would now like to replace LXLE with XUbuntu. I am happy to overwrite LXLE completely. I have XUbuntu on a USB pen drive but cannot decide on the best way to go about replacing LXLE with XUbuntu. I am a little confused with the way the partitions are now set up and worried I may damage Windows. The partitions are currently:
63 MB
Healthy (EISA Configuration) |
Recovery (D:)
10 GB NTFS
Healthy (Primary Partition) |
OS (C:)
171.50 GB NTFS
Healthy (System, Boot....) |
49.27 GB
Healthy (Prim Partition) |
2 GB Healthy (primary partition) |
The latter two partitions I am guessing relate to the LXLE installation; the second and third relate to Windows Vista; the first one (63MB).... I have no idea!
Should I:
- Use EasyBCD 2.3 to completely revert the partitioning back to when it just had vista on it and then install Xubuntu (as I did LXLE)? This would, I guess, involve merging the latter two partitions (above) to the OS (C:) partition.
- Can I use the USB pen drive which has Xubuntu and do an automatic install (the first choice on the installation)? Will this just overwrite the previous linux installation (which I'm fine about) or will there be some complications with this. I am less happy (at this stage) about deciding on the partitioning myself (the last choice on the installation)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

I have been running 14.04 on a VM (vmware player 7.1.3 build-3206955) on my Windows notebook for a long time now. Yesterday I got some updates that included the new abi-3.16.0-62-generic kernel. Last night my Windows machine rebooted for updates. Yea, the joys of Windows.. So my VM was closed. Today when I went to restart the VM that has been working flawlessly for the past year, it was hanging after trying to start strongswan. After booting up in single user mode and making it so it would not want to start strongswan, it started hanging after trying to start the vmware tools. On a hunch I rebooted into the old kernel and poof, it came right up, happy as a clam.
I did some reading and tried an update, and a dist-upgrade. I got a bunch of packages, but the abi-3.16.0-62-generic kernel still causes my system to hang when starting services. BTW, I do not think that the strongswan service is where it is stopping. It appears to be after that, but that is the last line I get on the screen.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I installed a brand new install of 15.10 from ISO to a VMware Fusion install 8.1.0. No issues at all.
I ran Software Updater and installed the latest updates and now on reboot it hangs with _ .
I can boot into 15.10 using the Linux 4.2.0-16-generic just fine via GRUB.
I checked VMware and there are no new updates. So I do not know where to proceed from here. I will use (16) till I can other troubleshoot further?
I am not sure if this is a Vmware issue or a (30) issue?
Thanks!

I have moved my partitions around to make room for dualboot, and now Windows 10 is on sda1 and sd2, with my linux install on sda3 (boot) and sda4 (home). I would like to access sda4 from my Windows install and am attempting to use Ex2Fsd in Windows. From what I understand, in order for this to work in Win10 I need to add the msftdata flag to my existing partition. I assumed I could do this in gparted, but there is no option for that. I installed gdisk, but don't know what commands to issue. I have a good backup of my partition.

I have an HP 15-G035WM laptop with win10 installed. I bought the laptop as a mfg refurbished which may explain some ot settings I've found. I want to dual boot it with 14.04 LTS. I read the "UEFI Installing - Tips".
My disk0 is setup with MBR, there are 3 volumes, C: 467MB, HP_TOOLS (D:)8192MB, and System Reserved. I cleaned out all the old files, delete the 8GB d: partition. Then extended C: to get the 8GB from D:. Then shrunk C: down to 205GB, the best I could do. Then created a new D: of 227GB. I then tried to download the UEFI install file at,
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download, and got the error page not found. The BIOS appears to be set for legacy and I would prefer no UEFI. According to the BIOS the OS was non-Windows, Visualization Technology disabled, legacy support enabled, secured boot disabled. When I booted the 14.04 LTS ISO on DVD and trial ran install it did not see the volumes. It saw the /dev/sda 500107 MB free. Is there another flavor I should use?

I am having a problem with how the kernel talks to my machine. I have outlined the issue here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2314666
The workaround for this issue is to hold the kernel at version 3.0.19.25.
My understanding is that the kernel is the main conduit between the OS and hardware. Upgrades aim to improve performance and plug security issues. Holding a kernel at a particular version is likely to put your computer at risk the longer you don't upgrade.
Is my understanding correct? Should I be concerned?

Hi ,
I have a problem with Unetbootin.
I wanted to change Ubuntu with Kali so I had my ISO on an external hard disk.
I used Unetbootin for that, followed the instructions which rebooted it.
But now I can't launched Kali. I have 5 solutions :
1-Unetbootin
2-Back
3- live USB Encrypted persistence
4-Install with speech synthesis memory 5-diagnostic tool (memtest86+)
What is displayed when I click on it:
1-
Code:
error: disk 'HD0,2' not found
I have to turn off the computer because I can't go back
2- Lot of code like this:
Code:
error: secure boot forbids loading module from (HD1,gpt2)/grub/X86_64-ego/adds.MOD
And a t the end:
Code:
Unknown file system
3-lot of coding like this
Code:
error: secure boot forbids loading module from (HD1,gpt2)/grub/X86_64-ego/adds.mod
And at the end
Code:
error : unknown file system.
Unaligned pointer 0X9594e558
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
4-
Code:
error : file '/ubnkern' not found.
Unaligned pointer 0X7e465b8
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
5- lot of coding like this
Code:
error: secure boot forbids loading module from (HD1,gpt2)/grub/X86_64-ego/affs.mod
And at the end
Code:
error : unknown file system.
Unaligned pointer 0Xc7c9c558
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
And I can't even go back to Ubuntu so I'm blocked here.
Sometimes it display the boot menu where I can see that Ubuntu is still there but when I select it, it's coming back to the first menu.
I hope I'm clear.
Thank you for your help.
Have a nice day.

I do some recording with Ubuntu, which requires a low latency kernel for recording HD audio is real time. I am currently using Ubuntu Studio, as it is easily the best recording centric distro out there. However and as always, I am not perfectly satisfied with the way things are set up. I am no stranger when it comes to spinning up my own personal distros and am looking to do the same for recording. In this case I simply want to strip down a 14.04 installation and go from there. My big question is, how can I replace the stock kernel with an existing low latency kernel?

I'm trying to install Ubunto on a HP Chromebook 14, using the instructions from the Arch wiki for installing linux on chromebooks:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices
I was able to enter dev mode and get root access. I think I was also able to enable SeaBIOS because I didn't get an error message when I ran the command from the wiki:
Code:
# crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_legacy=1
However, when I try the next step of rebooting and typing
at the white splash screen, it just beeps without rebooting, then loads Chrome OS. I've tried the same thing with a couple other linux distros on USB drives, and none of them will boot. I tried my Ubuntu usb on another computer and it booted fine. Any way to get my chromebook to boot into Ubuntu, so I can install it on the Chromebook? I don't want to use Crouton becaue I want to entirely remove Chrome OS.

Ha ! Well when cleaning out my closets found an old Tiny(UK) 256MB intel 32bit laptop i must have installed Lubuntu 11.04 on sometime long, long ago, in a galaxy far,far away ;-}
Wonder-of-wonders i had even created a /home partition plus a 6GB / root.
so the 11.04 upgrade tools tell me i cannot upgrade to 16.04 or any other later Lubuntu version. My wireless internet connect is fine, so my question is:
whats the easiest way to make my old 256MB laptop sit up and sing 16.4 songs ? Create a new partition and just install a new build there or is there some command line judo i can use to do this ?
thanx in advance

I have a PC with Windows 8.1 pro installed on an SDD. It is running in BIOS/legacy mode.
I tried to install Ubuntu 15.10 on the HDD. I used boot-repair to make grub the default boot manager but when booting I got message:
"error: no such device:
b504eba3-68d1-40a6-b1c2-97bde0cf9b92.
Entering rescue mode..."
So it seems grub is now my default boot manager, but the problem is that it could not find the device (which is sda3).
At the moment, I suspect Ubuntu cannot be booted from GPT drive (since my HDD has size of 3TB) in BIOS mode.

Please help me solve this problem.

i just got a new laptop --- its an acer aspire F15, F5-571T-569T.
Win 10, 1Tb hd, I'm doing a partition and dual boot; 150g to Win, 850g to Ubuntu. Downloaded iso from ubuntu official site, burned to disc, ran and installed, went through partition set up and ubuntu install; but upon reboot never got OS boot option and each time I boot up it goes straight to Windows. I did piggy-back a previous post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2314730
Got a tip, used link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
I went to that link but there is a lot of info on that page so I would greatly appreciate some more help please (& thank you).
Since my laptop isn't giving me a OS choice, I can't use terminal to download any boot managers... Help would be appreciated.
