fix-this! Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 what is up with ubuntu & kubuntu 8.10 ? for some reason when it boots the progress bar will get stuck and i have to press a key on my keyboard to get the boot to fully load. after boot it works fine through ? is this some sort of bug ? i know linux mint and ubuntu 8.04lts always worked fine. :( is there anything i can do to fix it ? maybe its a kernel issue ? plus i thought the wifi was suppose to work right out of the box with 8.10, it does not for me and my laptop ?

Lechio Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Edit the grub boot configuration file /boot/grub/menu.list so you can see what's going on behind the bar (probably some service is not loading right). Just add the quiet option at boot to the end of the boot line, should look something like this: title Ubuntu 8.10 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=(hd0,1) vga=791 quiet initrd /boot/initrd After that done reboot and see what is causing the boot freeze.
