[Bug 609845] Re: System sometimes freezes during boot.
I just had this happen to me on another machine I just helped someone upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04. After the upgrade the first two boots this happened, system was totally unresponsive to anything other than Ctrl+Alt+Delete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609845 Title: System sometimes freezes during boot. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 609845] Re: System sometimes freezes during boot.
I'm using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Netbook Edition on two machines seemingly effected by this bug. I've was experiencing exact symptom described in this bug report for a long time on my ASUS Eeetop 1602, couldn't find anyone else reporting the problem at the time and assumed it was my weird hardware. Was happening almost every boot, I found tapping a few keys on the keyboard during the boot splash would make get it to GDM always, though since this is a touch screen unit, I rarely want to have the keyboard connected, so that kind of sucked. It started happening months back, where as originally I had no problem with Lucid on this machine. There are no clues in any log files as to what's causing the problem that I could find. Eventually I tried disabling plymouth and it's never happened since. Only reason I'm here now is because the same symptom just started happening to my ASUS Eeepc 1005P. I don't know why, but the relative 'age' of this machine is about the same now as when it started happening to my Eeetop. Ie. I've owned this unit for about the same length of time as I had owned the Eeetop when this problem started to occur on that. Both machines I bought brand new and installed Ubuntu NBE as soon as they were out of the box. I hope this comment adds some credibility to this mysterious issue and maybe gives some clues as to why it's happening. I can reenable plymouth and put some logs here if you think it'll help, but as I said I personally could find no clue as to the problem by looking at the logs myself. For now I'm just disabling plymouth as a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609845 Title: System sometimes freezes during boot. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since posting this bug info, I have reinstalled my system and now it works OK for me. This problem is really hard (impossible?) to reproduce, it just sometimes happen.

1. Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu. 2. Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press e to edit it. 3. Select the linux line and at the end of the line, remove splash and quiet. 5. Type ctrl + x to boot the custom boot line. I followed these instructions but had to remove: splash quiet splash I tried removing different combinations of it but it didn't work. Whenever I boot it gets stuck either on the splash screen (dots light up and down but no harddisk activity and doesnt' boot). Or if I took out the splash quiet splash parameters I get a stream of text and it stops at something like reading SATA link not established. This may be a bit different to the above people, but the symptoms seem the same and I get it every time - i can't boot into it. I'm running 10.04 Ubuntu and have installed kde (so splash screen says kubuntu but i still use gnome for now).

[Bug 609845] Re: System sometimes freezes during boot.
Patrick,
You can remove splash and quiet from your grub menu entry.
1) Edit /etc/default/grub as root*. You should see a line that looks like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash. Comment this line out and save.
2) Run: sudo update-grub
* There are many ways to edit a file as root. I prefer Alt+F2, type kdesudo
kate, open desired file.
Unfortunately, this disables the splash for all linux entries.
You could alternatively, create a custom entry to boot from, which has no
splash:
1) Create a new file, 09_kubuntu:
2) Copy-and-paste from 40_custom (or simply rename 40_custom to
09_desiredfilename):
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
3) Open /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Find your menu entry that you prefer to boot from
with no splash.
4) Copy this menu item to your new 09_kubuntu
5) Run: sudo update-grub
Example:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Adding splashless Kubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic' 2
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
#if [ x${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} = x ] ; then
# OS=GNU/Linux
#else
# OS=${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR}
# CLASS=--class $(echo ${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | cut -d' '

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In order to determine if this issue is plymouth related, please boot your computer with plymouth disabled and then shutdown to see if you can reproduce the issue. To disable plymouth for a single boot, follow these steps: 1. Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu. 2. Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press e to edit it. 3. Select the linux line and at the end of the line, remove splash and quiet. 5. Type ctrl + x to boot the custom boot line. In addition you'd like to assign a package to your report to ensure that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the correct package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage For this report it may be 'plymouth', 'xorg' or 'linux'.
