I already have ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386 installed on one of the hard drives, but haven't been able to do a clean install or test of ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64 due to running into the busy box - initramfs wall. -Computer- Processor : 4x AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor Memory : 4125MB (973MB used) Operating System: Ubuntu 12.10 -Display- Resolution : 1600x900 pixels OpenGL Renderer : GeForce 9500 GT/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW!

[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
#31 I've been able to narrow down my issue to a single hard drive (ATA ST1000DM003-1CH1 (/dev/sdc)). With this hard drive disconnected from the computer, the liveUSB is bootable into the live ubuntu 13.10 64bit OS. An fdisk list states that Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table. I can recall that this drive was formated through the Disks application, using Partitioning (GPT) under Ubuntu 12.10 32bit. This drive (Seagate) was also a new drive at the time. The hard drive is mountable under a Ubuntu 12.10 32bit install and has shown no issue in reading from and writing to the drive. Doing (sudo fdisk -l) has shown: Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table Disks application info for /dev/sdc: SMART assessment- Disk is OK (31° C / 88° F) Volumes - Drive label / 1.0 TB Ext4 Size - 1.0 TB (1,000,204,886,016 bytes) Device - /dev/sdc Contents - Ext4 (version 1.0) Drive is mounted (Note that the Device doesn't show as /dev/sdc1.) In addition, this recent test was done using a USB flash drive loaded through unetbootin to live boot Ubuntu 13.10 64bit. This boot issue is also seen in the current daily builds of Trusty 32bit & 64bit. Assuming that a drive does not contain a valid partition table as seen by fdisk -l, then the live OS boot attempt will fail. LiveUSB testing of Ubuntu 13.04 32bit has shown no such boot issues with this hard drive connected to the computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241589 Title: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
Using the information as provided by #53 & #54, I was able to boot into the liveOS of Ubuntu 14.04 with the problem hard drive connected, and that the hard drive is detected by the liveOS. With a Unetbootin liveUSB of Ubuntu 14.04, I did the following: (Finding the LiveUSB /dev/***1) 1) Allow the liveUSB to boot into the Busybox initramfs command prompt. 2) At the (initramfs) command prompt, type in: blkid 3) From the produced drive list, I assumed that the only TYPE="vfat" that was listed had corresponded to the liveUSB flash drive, as that was the only connected device using FAT32. The vfat in my case was listed for /dev/sdf1 4) To reboot the computer, at the (initramfs) prompt, type in: reboot (Second part using Unetbootin liveUSB) 1) Highlight "Try Ubuntu without installing". 2) Press the Tab key to bring up the boot parameters. 3) I then changed my line of: /casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- persistent to /casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash live- media=/dev/sdf1 -- persistent 4) Hit enter to continue with the boot into the liveOS. If using Unetbootin for your liveUSB, one could also make the command persistent by editing the syslinux.cfg that is on the root directory after the creation of the liveUSB. There you should be able to apply the "live-media=/dev/***1" (replace *** with your liveUSB location value) to the "append" lines for "^Try Ubuntu without installing" and "^Install Ubuntu". Example: label ubnentry1 menu label ^Try Ubuntu without installing kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi append initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash live-media=/dev/sdf1 -- persistent label ubnentry2 menu label ^Install Ubuntu kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi append initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash live-media=/dev/sdf1 -- persistent -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241589 Title: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The casper package has updated to 1.339 in Trusty. Daily build trusty- desktop-i386 as of 20-Mar-2014 07:50 corrects the busybox boot issue that was seen on the computer with the attached hard drive which did not contain a valid partition table.

[Bug 1019337] Re: gtk-window-decorator crashes with BadWindow (invalid Window parameter), from XGetWindowProperty() from get_frame_type()
I believe my issue may be related. In using Irfanview 4.32 under WINE 1.5.9 and after running and completing Irfanview's batch conversion, you will see a popup window indicating that the batch conversion is done. After once you select the "Exit batch" button, all window decoractions are lost for all applications (Missing title bars). To Reproduce: -Install WINE 1.5.9 -Install Irfanview to WINE -Run Irfanview in WINE -Select from Irfanview's menu: File -> Batch Conversion/Rename -Batch conversion setup options are: -Work as Batch conversion -Batch conversion settings output format = PNG -Output directory set to wherever you want to later locate the converted files. -"Lookin" should allow you to browse for available image files (png, jpg, gif) -Add at least two files to the Input files box below by select a image from above and then selecting the Add button. -Click on Start Batch -Once done, a popup window will appear that will indicate the status of the batch conversion. -Click on within that popup window the "Exit batch" button -The problem occurs after clicking on the "Exit batch" button. A workaround for Irfanview users is to select the button "Return to batch" and then to exit out of the batch conversion window. That will prevent one from losing the title bars and close buttons on all applications.
