Bizarre Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 USB install issues making it unusable

≪ Previous: [ubuntu] error "invalid or corrupt kernel image" and md5 wrong

I dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and decided to upgrade 12.04 to 13.04 "Raring Ringtail". I had a 2GB USB stick but no DVD-R so I opted to use the USB installer provided at pendrivelinux.com as recommended by ubuntu.com after downloading the 13.04 amd64 ISO from the Ubuntu site. I decided to do the overwrite method built into the pendrive instead of upgrading my 12.04 since my 12.04 had some file issues that I didn't want to possibly inherit. I also didn't want to as a novice fiddle with the partitioning and whatnot, and with the pendrive installation I didn't have to.

Anyway, the pendrive seemed to install Ringtail fine, but at the point after installation where it said I have to restart the computer, some weird stuff happened. For one, the boot order said Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, NOT 13.04. When I tried to boot Ubuntu it had some "missing modules" and "does not exist" warnings, even though I checked the pendrive disc for errors and it said it was fine. Re-booting from the USB gave me the options "Reinstall Ubuntu 13.04", or "Erase Ubuntu 13.04 and reinstall". The first said I did not select any partitions to use as swap space, even though previously it had automatically done that for me. The second said the partitions were too small. These were the auto-selections that seemed to work before. Also, why did it say 12.04 in the boot order if the USB says 13.04 was installed?

I want to make sure this is not an error with the Raring Ringtail amd64 release before I learn to mess with the partitions, which is intimidating. Partition info is here and here if it's relevant (I don't know much about partitioning but probably need to learn it to solve this). What should I do? I'm sort of a novice and have a lot more to learn about Linux...

TL;DR Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 USB pendrive created bizarre errors, I have no idea what's going on with my partitions now, but it did install something and reads the partitions differently.

I followed this page when I wanted to create a live USB for 12.10. Currently, there isn't an option to create a live USB for 13.04.

Is there a different procedure I should follow or should I wait a few days for Pendrive Linux to add 13.04 to its list of available distros?

Yesterday i tried to upgrade 12.10 to 13.04, but it got stuck during the installment phase. I should have written down, cause now i only vaguely remember where it got stuck... it had 'baubau' or 'paupau' in it.
I restarted the laptop and i do have 13.04, most things seem to work just fine (firefox, LibreOffice, Rythembox), except the update manager and not shutting down anymore, both times it gets stuck.

What should i do? Is there a way to re-install or other ways to fix this?
Please note, that i am quite new at working with Ubuntu, so can you write all commands down?

≫ Next: [ubuntu_studio] 13.04: degraded RAID at boot

≪ Previous: [ubuntu] 13.04 upgrade stopped halfway, now problems update manager and shutting down

I have an Asus G74S running Win7 Pro. If it matters, I have max ram at 16GB and plenty of hard drive space. When I bought the machine, I attempted to install dual boot Ubuntu 12.04. It did not go well, and no boot selector (grub) screen appeared when I tried to reboot.

This is a work machine, so I had to get it up and running. Decided that my install disc must have been bad, so I took a known good CD containing Ubuntu 10.10, installed it along side, and recovered a workable grub from that install.

I didn't mess around with Ubuntu for a while after that, but, at a later date installed 12.10 successfully.

Two weeks ago, while in 12.10, I received a message inviting me to update. I accepted only to be presented with a blank screen upon booting into Ubuntu. Well, it's not blank. The desktop appears displaying two folders, but there is nothing else, no unity bar, no other icons.

I tried some suggestions in terminal, but they did not solve the problem.

Now that 13.04 is out, what I'd really like to do is clean off all previous copies of Ubuntu, regain all that hard disc space, and install one clean copy of Ubuntu 13.04.

. . . except I am not certain just how to go about it, and I cannot risk fowling my Windows install.

Can someone suggest a step by step procedure?

I've booted into the live cd, gone so far in the install process as to look at the partitions and have marked them for deletion (all the Ubuntu paritions). But, I'm not certain what to do next, so I have not clicked the Continue button, have always opted to quite which reverts all my marked partitions back to their original state since I did not write them to disc (a procedure that is not reversible).

I know I cannot hold anyone responsible for whatever advice you give, but would appreciate hearing from someone with more than my casual experiencing with setting up Ubuntu in such a situation.

My Boot Loader (I'm guessing that's grub) is located on SDA_name of HD. So is my Ubuntu 10.04 from which I rescued the machine back when. If I delete that Ubuntu 10.04, will that destroy my grub?
If I delete all the Ubuntu partitions, do I then setup new ones and write the whole revised table to disc then proceed with the install?
Will the install write me a new grub?

All questions to which I have yet to find a clear answer.

Suggestions/advice most appreciated.

I have my /home on a three-disk software RAID 5, with a separate HDD for the OS. Previously I was using 32-bit Ubuntu Studio 12.10 and had no problems with the RAID.

Yesterday I installed 64-bit UbuStu (on a separate partition). (As the installer doesn't seem to cope with RAIDs, I always install without specifying /home, boot the fresh install and add a line in fstab for md0.) Since then, in about three out of five boots, I've had a warning of a degraded RAID and the usual "do you wish to start with a degraded RAID y/n?".

Once I'm logged in, every time I've had the warning I've checked with...

Code:

sudo mdadm -D /dev/md0

...and the output is always:

From a bit of searching and reading, I think "clean" and having all three active and working suggests I've nothing to worry about, is that so? If there is nothing wrong with my RAID, why am I getting the warning when booting up and what can I do to rectify it?

≪ Previous: [ubuntu_studio] 13.04: degraded RAID at boot

I have my Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 with Windows 7 pre-installed but I've decided to install also Ubuntu 13.04 here, and there my troubles start...

Previously I had my disk divided into partitions like this:
1) *: SYSTEM_DRV (200MB) NTFS Primary
2) C: Windows7_OS (~900GB) NTFS Primary
3) D: LENOVO (25.47GB) NTFS Primary
4) *:LENOVO_PART (19.53GB) NTFS Primary

So I have shrunk 2nd partition and made up two more partitions - Ext4 (18GB) and Linux Swap (2GB), converted 3 and 4 to Logical, and set Ext4 to primary. After this I installed Linux Ubuntu 13.04 and after restart what I see is "Missing operating system".
Therefore I run LiveCD and set via sudo parted my windows partition to have boot flag. Now Windows is working.
But my question is: why grub is not loading? and how to make it dual boot without getting rid of LENOVO partitions which are necessary while using OneKey Recovery?

PS I'm a Linux newbie.
PS2 I don't want to lose my data. I have nowhere to have them backed up.
PS3 Sorry for awful English, I'm still learning.

Hi,

Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 (desktop environment x64) from 12.10 but in the middle of installation my system froze. I waited several hours but nothing happened so I had to do something which I rather not like to do, I had to use a hard shutdown.

While starting up everything seemed to work fine (13.04 logo and stuff) but when I tried to log in it would give me a black screen and redirect me to the login screen again.
So I tried shutting down the system again and starting it up, but at shut down I noticed that it took very, very long (minutes) and when I started up it said that the ELF header was smaller than expected.
I made a live USB with Ubuntu 13.04 on it and used boot-repair and tried to repair everything. The error is gone now, but now it says that it cannot find my operating system. I thought that maybe I could repair my Ubuntu 13.04 installation with the same CD, but because no operating system is found, it is not offering me an option to upgrade (only to overwrite everything).

When I look at the logfile it created I notice that at none of the partitions has an operating system so I assume that there is a problem.

What is the best solution I can do now? Backup my old files and make a clean installation? Or can I somehow re-configure my bootloader so that it would find my messed up Ubuntu (and try to work out those problems)?

I built a cutting edge system more than a year ago. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1927626
I spent a weekend trying to install Linux (details in that post). I have used Linux for more than 10 years and used it regually at work and am quite cofortable with emacs, sed, bash scripting, and gcc. But one waisted weekend and I did the unthinkable: I bought windows 7 and it installed with no problems.

For the last year I occasionally checked out new Linux edtions hoping they would install on my desktop system. Finally, Ubuntu 13.04 booted! Of course, it had problems with my GTX 590 so I had to use nomodeset but after that the installer at least ran. I installed it along windows7 and booted to a blinking cursor. No GRUB, just a black screen with a blinking cursor. No windows either. In a fit of anger I installed Ubuntu 13.04 over windows hoping it would fix the blinking cursor. Of course it did not. So then I spend Saturday and Sunday trying to figure out why.

I wasted a lot of time just trying to write ISO images to USB in linux. The dd command never produced a bootable USB device. Unetbootin works for most of them but not for Ubuntu 13.04. I installed it on Windows with the Universal USB installer but of course I don't have a Windows install anymore so that's no use. But Mint, Manjaro,...all give the blinking cursor. The main problem I'm having I think is related to having UEFI and a SSD only system. I'm too burnt out to go into details but probably these two links have the info I need
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/index.html

I started off wanting to install the Intel C++ compiler for Linux along with MKL to compare some of my code with GCC and Visual Studio and instead I end up with blinking cursor. I think I'll install Windows7 again and go back to Visual Studio and go back to spending my weekends doing things more enjoyable.
