Ubuntu 8.10 Hangs at boot
Hello!
I have tried running RC and now today the final release of Intrepid ibex, but it freezes at a module called "starting bluetooth". I don't have bluetooth on this computer, so is there a parameter I could feed the kernel at boot to try if it might work this time? Thanks! |
Is this live mode we are talking about? Will it install directly (select install from the startup menu)?
Or you can try the alternate CD - it doesn't mandate starting any services. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/262927 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=927293 |
Ubuntu 8.10 Hangs at boot
Hallo,
I deactivated any bluetooth services by unchecking them from the automatic start-up service list: go to System > Preferences > Sessions > and uncheck "bluetooth manager" then reboot. Honestly I've also unistalled every bluetooth reference from synaptic but... the problems was solved just deactivating the startup bluetooth services from "Sessions" Best regasrds |
After looking through the threads you gave me, I noticed it was caused by my WINTVPVR2 plugged in... Got it out and everything works wonder!!
This is one thing I hate about linux, it stated that bluetooth service was not correct, but it ended up being a really specific problem with this PVR. Anyways, with great support, I got it to work! Thanks! |

Had you mentioned this earlier, I could have pointed at the correct answer directly rather than employ the shotgun method I did. If the TV card had disabled bluetooth services in HW, then the message is correct, they are invalid. They have been invalidated by the TV card. Usually I would suggest filing a bug-report against the error message - but I don't see what to expect maintainers to do about this. If (eg) BIOS says a service is available, but the driver cannot find the hardware, then the service is invalid... how on Earth is the kernel supposed to tell that a specific bit of HW is responsible. Note: had this issue appeared in a proprietary OS, you would have been unable to fix it... and the error message would have been a number. As gnu/linux users, we have access to generally excellent service and resources unavailable to proprietary OS users except for a large fee. We get used to the high standards and end up, sometimes unreasonably, demanding even higher standards. That service standards continue to improve is a testament to the raw power of the market-model. Sit back. Enjoy. |
Thanks my friend for the answer!
I do understand what you say, although the only error message I got was: Quote:
BUT, I still love linux more than any other OS, and the community, in part from users like you, is priceless (pun intended) Take care! |
