Anyone Got A Copy Of Acer Aspire 1 Linux V1.0.9 Recovery Disc, Please?

I upgraded my system to a dual boot win 8.1 tech build and linux mint rebecah now stuck in grub recovery wont read usb or cd and cant find partition

In Mint Cinnamon 17.1, every time I reboot, I get an option in GRUB to boot into recovery mode. I have to then manually select normal (not recovery mode) booting, after which I get to the regular Cinnamon desktop. This started happening after the computer froze one time and I had to power it off, but it happens every time I reboot now. Bottom line: on reboot, I need to go through an extra, unnecessary step of selecting normal, rather than recovery, mode. Does anyone know how to get rid of this recovery mode option in GRUB?

Hi friends I'm very new to linux so can you please suggest me which will be best software for data recovery from NTFS partition
I am using linux mint 17.1

okay, forgot the passphrase for the encryption, now i cant get pass the unbunto start screen. Started this project for my little girls computer and had to leave town for job. now cant remember the passphrase, and cant get the recovery to work. Do i have to install new, and if so, how?? disk is locked and i need to get this up and running to learn how to use it. I have hit the shift key, started it in grub, advance options for unbunto, selected Unbunto, with Linux 3.13.0-45-generic (recovery mode), get to flashing commands and it stops...wait a about 20 seconds..[76.096156] random: nonblocking pool is initialized, and nothing more. screen dosnt change, and the recovery screen i seen on vids dosnt appear. any help would be helpful

Hi,

I am new to the Ubuntu OS and really enjoying it but currently have an issue with my Acer Aspire ES1 512 laptop with regards to getting the machine to completely shutdown or restart.

It is not a dual boot setup, 100 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install but when I attempt to press the "Shutdown" option at the top right, it looks like the machine is shutting down, shows the Ubuntu logo with dots but does not physically turn off the machine.

At the moment, I have to physically press and hold the power button.

FYI, I have also tried sudo shutdown -h now

Any ides/help would be great as it's the only issue I am currently experiencing.

Thanks.

hi

I am trying to create a LIVE USB so that I can boot UBUNTU through my LIVE USB and have play around with it and if I like it I would like to deploy it on my netbook.

Here is my story.

I got ACER ASPIRE one net book with Windows 7. 32BIT

1 Installed the Universal USB creator

2 Created the Desktop UBUNTU USB drive by following the options given

3 Booted my system then got this error.

SYSLINUX: No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

Googled this error and found a solution to rename folders.

Did that.

Rebooted and face this error now.

Counld not find kernel image /isolinux/isolinux.cfg.




Can someome please help me on this. Will be very thankful.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well, I've made a pretty stupid error and I hope someone can help, thanks for your time.

So, I had been warned by gnome and my package manager that my HDD was full which didn't seem right so I decided to look at Gnome's 'Disk Usage Analyzer' which made the problem appear obvious. There was apparently a complete 1.5TB copy of my home directory in the /srv/nfs/ directory, now I don't have much use for NFS anymore and I needed to install some software so I thought the solution was quite straightforward , I cd'ed to /srv/nfs/ and rm -rf'ed the directory and figured that I would fix nfs at a later date. Now this seems to have deleted my actual home directory, which is completely empty and it looks to me like I've lost ~1.5TB of data.
So firstly, Is it actually this operation which deleted my home directory or did I manage to do this at some other point with some other command?
And secondly do I have any chance of recovering files? I tried to unmount the partition when I realised what I had done but I kept getting an error to the effect that the drive was busy at which point I rebooted and got the same error, so I unplugged the machine. Googling led me to extundelete but I don't have access to another linux machine at the moment, would this be my best chance?

Thanks again for any replies.

I'm quite new to Linux, and after a lot of trials ended up with Mint Mate (dual boot with Win7). I've been using it for a few weeks now with no real problems.
However, I've just transferred my system to a new pc case. The only alteration I made was to change the sata connector cable from sata 1 to sata 0. When I tried to boot to Mint I got screen after screen of errors (all unintelligible to me). I tried the recovery boot and got even more screens of errors. I did once get a desktop showing but it wouldn't actually do anything. So I'm now unable to open Mint – it just says there is an error on the disk drive.
Thank goodness for Win7! That opened first time, no problems – and continues to open fine (and I can access and copy files from there).
Obviously after such a catastrophic experience with Mint I'm going to always stick with dual boot. Unfortunately I'm now very reluctant to trust Linux with anything important – though I do want to go on using it for internet access. Can someone recommend a really stable (but easy to use) Mate distro please? Thank you.

Hello, My issue is very common but, not able to resolve it.

Issue I am facing with my Linux (RHEL-5 32-bit) machine, where I am not able to connect to internet.

DWR-113 - D-Link Router is configured for 3G dongle (Vodafone India) - This setup is done via WiFi and not using the provided LAN cable from Win7 machine.

Internet is working absolutely fine in case of Wireless but, at same time when LAN cable is used internet is not working. [Able to ping to Router IP i.e. 192.168.0.1)

Similarly, from Linux box, ping to Router IP is working [LAN plugged] but, Internet not working. IP of linux machine: 192.168.0.60

Also, able to get the console connection of Linux from Windows box..[Windows connected to Router via WiFi and Linux connected to Router via LAN cable]

Please suggest how to get rid of this problem so that Internet will work on Linux via LAN cable.

Many Thanks,

I have a Toshiba laptop that will not boot. I get to the grub menu which gives me the option to load Ubuntu, Ubuntu recovery mode, or a couple of memory tests.

If I select Ubuntu I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.

Selecting recovery mode gives me a lot of messages with the last one being "EDD information not available".

The memory test option does not return any errors.

If I try booting Mint from a bootable DVD I get the Mint screen and then it goes gray with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.

Any suggestions?
