Hangs At Kubuntu Screen sometimes...

Re: Hangs At Kubuntu Screen sometimes...

How does one read the time because all I see are numbers in brackets ie [10.900775]

The numbers in the brackets don't represent 'real time' as you and I think about it. The kernel, when compiled, had to have timestamp options for kenerel messages enabled:

To enable timestamp options on kernel messages:

Kernel hacking[*] Show timing information on printks

Without this, the 'times' shown in dmesg (and other syslog files?) represent:

The time stamps start at 0 when the system is booted and are monotonically increasing from that time. The times are represented in seconds and microseconds.

Here are a few things that stood out to me that seemed wrong... but then again I have no idea what im looking for.

Re: Hangs At Kubuntu Screen sometimes...

I'm guessing your bios acpi powerstate is incompatable with your current kernel.

I suggested trying some kernel boot parameters. Attempt these one at a time and boot several time with each one to see if any of them help.

Try these options in the kernel boot line ONE at a time:

acpi.power_nocheck=1
apm=off
acpi=ht
acpi=off

These will likely also disable other functions as well so be prepared. You should also read up on grub2 basics in case to need to recover from a bad edit.

Re: Hangs At Kubuntu Screen sometimes...

So I haven't had the chance to try out the stuff you guys suggested yet cuz life has been crazy...


But I did get a chance to try out the new Maverick Alpha 1 Released Kubuntu 64 bit live disc and it booted up fine and recognized the AC power being plugged in!

So there is something definitely wrong with Lucid...

Anyways back to dealing with life...

hope this will leads to figuring out a solution!
