Fight with Ubuntu Hardy for a complete night
While i was working with my hardy in Virtual Box, after installing few pacakages my hardy started mis behaving, my lap was looking fine, but i couldnt open any of my softwares not even i could open my Open Office writter in user mode. But i could open them in terminal with sudo. So i restarted my lap. After booting in, my hardy displayed a message like
Loading, pease wait…
Kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)= sda(8,8)
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot…
After which, i will get a login message, which would login to shell.
I tried so many things, i could solve the problem. I switched on my desktop and connected net and went to IRC to #ubuntu channel for help, but in vain. And then googled so long to get so many solutions but none of them worked.
Solutions were,
-
$fdisk -l | grep swap
$swapoff /dev/sdax
$mkswap /dev/sdax
$update-initramfs -u
-
$sudo aptitude install update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu
$sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu
-
$sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
None of the solutions worked, in IRC only one person gave a response, he too told to use a rescue cd. While googling i learned few things,
What is Resume Image?
Resume image is nothing but a file that stores the state of the machine while shutting down or suspending and is kept in the swap space while shutting down or suspending and gets back to the same state when rebooted of resumed.
So finally after trying so hard last my patience and decided to reinstall, took the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS dvd and installed it over night. After installing it and all my required packages from net, i say the clock it was 5.30 am. Went to bed…
Hi viewers do you have solution….
I don’t have a solution but I have the same problem. It happens in only one of my computers. The old laptop that I gave to my parents. It uses XUbuntu Hardy. The problem started after upgrading from kernel 4.6.22 to 4.6.24. Downgrading to the older kernel is the unhappy fix I could find.
Yes, the problem for me also started after upgrading the kernel… I think, if u upgrade the kernel alone first and theu booting into the new kernel, upgrade the remaining applications. then there will be no prob i suppose. try
At the end I solved the problem in my parents laptop. There is actually little reason to believe it is the same problem you had. The misleading point is that the two kinit messages that you write in your post about mounting the resume image were unrelated to the problem.
I played with boot options for a while. I tryed booting with kernel parameters noquiet and verbose=on (I am not sure if they are redundant) to get some extra information. Then I looked at the file /var/log/messages carefully. At some point I found the line “Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -337913076 ns)”. So I used the boot parameter clocksource=acpi_pm and that was the magic solution. So my final solution was to add that parameter to the boot options in grub.
As I said before, most likely your problem is different. I can still see those kinit messages during boot time if I press Alt-F1. It seems to be the normal behavior of Ubuntu. Usually we don’t see those messages only because we are entertained with the pretty splash screen.
