    8.10 hangs at startup SOLVED

    My Acer Aspire laptop hangs for five minutes during every boot, but I've managed to grab the message that appears during this five minutes.

    Code:
    [  249.688973] vc032x: Unknown sensor...
    [  249.691062] vc032x: probe of 5-6:1.0 failed with error -22

    [  250.316976] vc032x: I2c Bus Busy Wait 0
    etc...

    This repeats itself until about 370, at which point my laptop continues to boot normally. What does this mean?

    Unhappy Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    I have a similar problem, but I sadly, do not know the solution. if I hold a button while it is loading, it boots normally, but I don't know why this happens.

    Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    Hmmm... although I dont have a netbook of any sort. Those modules look like lmsensors-type modules. Perhaps try either booting into recovery mode and removing them or via a live CD / chroot.

    Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    How would I remove them in recovery mode? I have started it into recovery mode and that's how I was able to see the error in the first place. In normal mode the progress bar pauses about a quarter of the way.

    PS: inxygnuu, I think your problem might be different. I've read about yours here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966176 the symptoms appear to be the same to a certain extent, but when I hold down a key nothing happens.

    Same thing was happening to me on my HP dv6618. To fix it,
    Code:
    gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Somewhere near the bottom you'll see something with kernels.
    ie.
    Code:
    title		Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
    uuid		4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2
    kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2 ro quiet splash 
    initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
    quiet
    At the end of the kernel line, add acpi=noirq so it becomes,
    Code:
    kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=4b08f1d9-824f-408b-8b26-b37453d11fd2 ro quiet splash acpi=noirq
    et voila!

    Note: Whenever you install a new kernel, you'll have to add the above fix to it's kernel line.

    Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    As I suspected, that hasn't worked for me. Any other ideas anyone?

    EDIT: Just fixed it. If anyone out there happens to have the exact same problem as me, here's what I did:

    Just as I did in 8.04, open up blacklist.
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
    Scroll to the bottom and add:
    Code:
    blacklist gspca_vc032x
    Close and save.

    In 8.04 all I had to type was 'blacklist gspca' and it would shut it off. The only thing that changed, as you can see, was the name of the module.

    only thing that stopped udev from using 50% cpu was blacklisting > gspca_vc032x !!!

    Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    same here on Acer Aspire 5670 with Web cam (Orbicam). On my first ubuntu try =(

    Let me know when this is fixed. Or there is a workaround

    @TiloBunt pls read post #6 by Trixilver , that is THE ONLY workaround available for now...
    also dont get discouraged by this small bug... i'v also been using ubuntu only recently, u'll love it eventually


    i'd suggest that all the users who have this problem subscribe to the bug report regarding this issue...
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/271258
    its already been triaged but would probably help if more users report the issue

    Re: 8.10 hangs at startup

    Thanks I already use this blacklist workaround.

    But I mean with workaround something to get the Web cam working.Anyways, I don't like to register at this BugTracker also.


    I set it up for my girlfriend, so hope she like Ubuntu and can use all thing she need. I would like to see her that's why I want the web cam working


    May did you have also any issues with your Wireless kill switch?
    Looks like mine don't work so good like the bt (was impressed about the bt support, thumbs up for ubuntu)

    So when I power off the comp and unplug it (also no battery) then plug it in again and the comp forget about the ON bt and ON wireless. Then I use the switch but only the bt work right away, the wireless don't so I need to reboot.

    Let me know if you have a solution handy for this. (honestly just made a quick search and don't found a solution right away)

    Thanks.
