Also, I really have no idea how to look into the BIOS.

..OK, now that's really weird. Clicking "Suspend" on the top-right menu" didn't even work. (Said menu, by the way, is in red "restart for upgrades" mode, if it's relevant.")

Yeah, the SUSPEND_MODULES thing didn't work. And I really know nothing about power management or how it interacts with networking.

$ /usr/bin/env PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin service network-manager status

Plugging in an Ethernet cable does precisely squat. Still says "Networking disabled; ✓ Enable Networking; (i) Connection Information; (pencil) Edit Connections..." As for the rest...


$ service...

Like the title says. I put my Lenovo B570 laptop into sleep mode after some CPU problems (what is wrong with you ksoftirqd) and it restarted on me for some reason. Now networking is disabled...

Never mind. It's working now, possibly because I booted Windows 7, then restarted and went back to Ubuntu. (Can I resurrect this thread if it happens to me again?)

Did some Googling. Tried some tips. Here was the output of netstat -nr:

Running 11.10 on a Lenovo B570, maybe a month old. When I try to connect to a network, wired or wireless, nm-applet does its normal "connecting" animation, but sort of "spasming" at the end of the...

I'm having this exact problem, although I've been able to open it and not have a blank screen when it's only been closed for a few minutes. (I've specifically set it to not go into sleep mode or...

fsck, by the way, is not doing anything from the LiveCD Terminal except printing "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2," even with the -A option.

EDIT: HA! Never mind, I did some further tinkering with...

LiveCD's still working. Main filesystem still isn't mounting.

It's midnight here and my system clock says it's 5 AM. Complicating the matter, I'm pretty sure I didn't boot this up tonight until...

Oh, I knew that. I had Ubuntu booted up already, the problem was what next.



Attempted mounting my Ubuntu filesystem. The results:


Unable to mount ## GB Filesystem
Error mounting: mount:...

Thank goodness -- the eject button worked just fine in GRUB, and I've gotten it running on a LiveCD. Not sure what order to do things in now, though...



At least three years old. Likely more, I...

Also:



What do you mean "root"? There's a command line for GRUB, but it hasn't got fsck.

I thought about a LiveCD. The problem with that? I don't know how to eject the CD tray in ash. BusyBox. Whatever.

That part's almost funny.

The result: about 15 seconds' worth of data on the screen flying over my head, eventually stopping at...

The top two options are "Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-10-generic" and "Ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.38-10-generic (recovery mode)". Is the latter what you were suggesting?

Let's try it!


/bin/sh: fsck: not found

...That's pretty damn bad, isn't it?

Here's the story:

The screen of my years-old HP laptop (running Natty) freezes and eventually turns black. Ctrl-Alt-F# works to switch to the terminals. My fan is even louder than usual. I spend...

I had an appearance glitch last night. A visit to Appearance changed everything back to Ambience, except for Nautilus. Even closing and reopening that isn't helping. I've attached an image;...

Various tactics continue to fail. Restarting compiz (which is reading about 50% CPU usage; is that normal?) is among them. Also, I've somehow managed to get the terminal's "default" directory changed...

Unity doesn't appear to have an analog to the taskbar button Vuze uses. And once you close the window, the program disappears from the dock. But this always works for me when I need to reopen the...

I decided to give tty8 a shot. Unfortunately, even inside it, the top-left corner of my screen still looks like this, no matter how many times I restart Unity:
