I have the same problem as the guy in a recent thread on this forum. I ran the Update Manager yesterday and installed all the updates. Now when I boot up this morning - the first time since updating - I can only get to the log-in screen, and once I've logged in, the system hangs. Well, it's not exactly hung - I can see the cursor arrow on the screen, and move it about, but the screen is black.

The updates - or one of them - seem to have broken my system, but as this has not happened to me before (I didn't do any updates on my previous Ubuntu install), I am unfamiliar with the procedure to get it all working again.

I started Ubuntu on the "failsafe" mode from the Grub menu, but still the same result. There is an option on Grub to boot to the previous kernel version, but that produces the same result.

Googling this problem suggest the update may have affected the video drivers, but my video is Intel so I don't use any proprietary drivers that need to be loaded separately.

Is there a way I can troubleshoot my system, and thereby fix it?

Thank you for any help you can give. Are Ubuntu updates notorious for breaking systems? If so, I won't ever update again... promise!

You will likely need to use a LiveCD for troubleshooting and changing configs if your system hangs.

It is difficult to determine the problem without additional information. What do your kernel logs say? They would be at /var/log/kern.log.

If /var/log/kern.log does not exist then enable it. Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf and make sure that the following line is uncommented (i.e. does not start with a # symbol).
You will also need to edit /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf and be sure that the following line is uncommented.
Once it is enabled then try booting your kernel again. If the boot fails then check to see that kern.log exists and then provide it to me. I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 however last time I updated was likely before Oct 21. It is not the norm for this to happen, especially for LTS, but it happens from time to time for all things human.

Yes, kern.log is already there. There is a lot of it, from multiple boot-ups, but information from the last unsuccessful boot-up, login and reset is as follows:

This appears to be a problem.
Google search shows several bug reports.

Did you enable the unstable repository in 12.04? Have you customized your repositories in any way to get extra features like Adobe Flash, etc?

The gnome-settings segfault is from loading the GUI. Try starting your machine by booting into recovery mode (Ubuntu Docs). Do you still get the segfault from starting up without a GUI?

**UPDATE: Just after I typed the reply below, I booted up again, but at the login screen I selected "Guest" rather than "Steve". And it then loaded normally, full GUI and everything, no problem. So presumably this would imply that the problem is from a setting in my user account, not a system-wide issue.... correct?

No, I have never as far as I recall enabled any repositories other than those enabled at install. I downloaded Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras just after install, to give me MP3, Flash, etc, as you are advised to do.

Is it possible that the updates would have enabled other repositories? I cannot recall any messages during updating asking me about this, although it is entirely possible, as I tend to assume the update manager knows what it is doing. So if it asked "You need to enable XXXX repository in order to do YYYYY, is this okay? Y/N", then I would have said yes by default.

I must amend my original statement that Ubuntu "hangs" after login. It seems that after login, the screen goes not really black but very dark grey; and the pointer is still movable. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2 brings up a shell and I can login again and do stuff in the shell. However since the GUI doesn't work, all I have done is say Sudo Reboot and reset the machine.

When I boot up under Recovery mode, I get no different results but there is a menu popping up during boot up (before login). The first item is "resume normal boot", which I choose, but another item is "fix broken packages". **Should I choose "fix broken packages" and see if this does any good?**

Well, does logging in under the GUI that comes up at the start, count as "without a GUI"? I do not know how to make Ubuntu start without it using a GUI at all during the process. Please advise.

Thank you for your patience so far! My Ubuntu is at least doing something, but I cannot see what it is doing as the GUI seems broken. If the updates had somehow set the resolution to something my monitor could not cope with, then surely I would not be able to see the pointer on the screen either?

Steve, thank for giving me the heads up on your post, my problem is similar but it is on 12.10. I have started to look at my files using a 12.10 image disk booting from the cd reader.
At least this has given me access to files saved on the computor which I can probably drag and drop to a usb device.

Hopefully I will be able to find the logs and pull them out.

Yeah, but if it is the updating that originally caused the problem (I'm only saying that because my problem began the first time I booted up after doing updates), it is possible that the same issue is present on 12.04 and 12.10 systems. Did you see the post I made above, saying that all seemed well when I logged on as a Guest, not as myself? Do you want to try that and see if anything is different?

Steve, first thing I did was to try the guest option and it worked I can even use my mail. Next step is to try and recover essential files as I think I will reinstall 12.10. I believe if I take the install option it will obliterate the current installation so I need to do some back up by copying files to a USB device or two.
Thanks for your help

I'm just waiting to see if Sag47 has any advice regarding my latest post above...

As you do manage to get to recovery mode, you have the grub menu available. When the grub menu shows, press 'e'. Find the line that contains 'quiet splash' and change 'quiet splash' to 'quiet splash text' and press <ctrl>x. That should make Ubuntu boot without GUI. You can remove the words 'quiet' and 'splash' as well. Note that this a non-permanent change.

You can now login; note that when prompted for a password, nothing will be shown while typing it; just type the password and press <enter>.

My first step would be to run an ls -l in your home directory and check files starting with '.xsess'. I'm not on an Ubuntu system at the moment so can't tell you the exact files to look for. There might be one called '.xsession_error' or so than can be exceptionally big.

Alternatively, in recovery mode you can choose 'drop to root shell' (or something with similar name) or 'drop to root shell without networking'. From there you might be able to fix things in your user's home directory; use cd /home/yourusername to navigate to your home directory. Note that you will be root and have all the powers to do unrecoverable damage to your system.

Yes, there is an .xsession-errors file. It's only one screen big, but to save me having to work out how to copy the file to a memory stick, so as to get it onto this laptop and get it into an LQ post, could you please suggest what kind of errors I would be looking for?

Narrowing this problem down a bit, because I can get "normal service" by logging is as Guest, and it's only when logging is as me that I get a blank screen, then surely the problem lies in a config file in my own /home directory? Can anyone suggest what that file may be, and what edits I may need to do? As Ubuntu uses Gnome 3, could it be a Gnome 3 setting in my home directory causing the problem?

When I log on as myself, and get a blank screen (plus a pointer!), I can do Ctrl-Alt-F2 and get a terminal up, and I am in my own /home directory. However the screen resolution is quite high because the text is very small. Is there a command that will display the current screen resolution? I typed in xrandr but it said "Can't open display".

By the way, on my system under /etc/X11, there is an xorg.conf.failsafe, but no xorg.conf itself. Is this normal?

It is entirely possible. And system hanging after login is a big difference than what I previously imagined. One thing you could try is to create a new user (other than guest) and then try logging into that user. Does it freeze in that new user?

It is possible for a package to do that but as long as you didn't add your own repositories from Ubuntu PPA then I doubt that any officially supported package would have this behavior. Ubuntu, I assume, checks for stuff like that before giving it the green flag to be stable in their repository.



This is good. At least we know it's not a kernel panic so we can rule it out. It is likely just a part of Unity hanging. What does your xsession-errors file say? Rather than having to mess with copying the configs you can just pastebinit from the shell when you Ctrl-Alt-F2. When you're at the shell do the following...
I skipped telling you where xsession-errors is since you have discussed it previously in this post.

If your system has broken packages then they should be fixed. Broken packages can put a system in a highly unstable state and usually break updating ability as well as a number of other problems.



When I said "without a GUI" I was talking about single user mode with Xorg not starting. This would be the equivalent of your computer starting up straight into a text mode (you see this behavior when you press Ctrl+Alt+F2). At any rate, you don't need to resort to these measures as you've already stated it's hanging after login and likely not a kernel panic.

I was away without internet over the weekend which is why my response is so late. I'll review the rest of the posts and address them if need be.
