Dell Inspiron does not go in GRUB after the stop of Kubuntu

I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (Ubuntu) laptop and installed Kubuntu 15.10. No dual-boot. Kubuntu only.

Everything seems to work... with one exception: after closing down (or restarting) of KDE/Kubuntu, laptop computer does not successfully start only once.

When I shut down the system, everything seems ok. Then when you press the power button, I see the Dell logo for a short period of time (as a kind of progress downstairs bar) as usual. Then the screen flashes in different shades of black, nothing more. No GRUB menu. In this pressing situation ++ restart the laptop and GRUB is reached and everything works fine. Following restarts (without having to boot into Kubuntu) works also without problem. However as soon as I have boot into Kubuntu and start/stop from there to the next single boot of the laptop will fail.

Any idea what the problem might be?

I think I found the answer: askubuntu.com/.../428857

  • Dell Inspiron does not fully start

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Windows Vista Home Basic. Last fall I had restored it and after that, it worked perfectly until about 2 months ago. After that I turned on the computer, it goes to the Dell logo, as usual, and then after that, it gives me a message saying press F1 to continue. I would tap it, then he would show a black screen with a flashing underscore. After a while it would not boot as usual. Recently, when underscore no longer blinks, he asked no longer to start as usual. It gives me a message saying that no boot device is discoverable and press ENTER to try again. I'll enter, but the same message arrives. I'll have to then turn off and on and keep pressing F1 until she FINALLY begins. With the changeover days, it takes more time and more time so that it can start and enter the Windows logo. I'm afraid that one day, it just won't start. I tried and tried looking for my problem but I don't know what it is. One popular response that came was my CMOS battery may go dead. So, I went and bought this past weekend. That didn't solve it. It still does start all the way. I also can't access the Menu ahead of time by pressing F8. I notice that rarely my computer will lead me to the Boot Manager to start upward on its own and from there I can start Windows normally and it starts without a problem. But I don't know how get you to this page manually. By pressing the bar space does not either. If I keep just press these keys, my computer makes a noise clicking / beep and nothing more. I was also wondering if a restore factory could get rid of this problem and make it again fresh. But again, one of the conditions for a factory restore is to disable and press F8 for Advanced Options and he won't be on the menu for me. So I'm stuck pretty well.

    Overall, my problem is that my computer initializes more normally. I have to keep turning market until he finally gives in which case it can take hours. I desperately need help. I hope that I was fairly accurate. My computer is no longer under warranty and I can't afford any premium or other security package. Please, it's my only computer, and that's all what I have to work with. Thank you.

    Hello

    A computer is supposed to make a single "beep" at startup.

    If that in fact more than one, this indicates a hardware problem.

    You will need to go to the Dell website and know what BIOS that you have in your computer model.

    Then check in these links 'beep' error codes know what hardware has problems.

  • Dell Dimension does not start in Vista after upgrade

    A friend had a Dell Dimension E521 that won't start - has the missing file system\hal.dll.

    As there was nothing on this computer, he needed, I rebuilt it install a new copy of Windows XP, used the upgrade disc closed for upgrade to Vista and ensured everything in its original package has been installed. Let him install the Windows updates at night and in the morning, after a reboot it indicated that there is an update available. I've updated that and restarted and he said there are only four more updates that memory on the video card. I've updated those, but now it does not start at the top.

    I'm going through the boot process, but as soon as it is the screen black with the Microsoft Corporation and the (green?) bar he starts moving forward a very small amount, and then restarts. It comes up with the selection of Windows startup screen and I tried the secure boot and last good Configuration known without result.

    I tried the original XP disc to do a repair, but this doesn't seem to work with Vista?

    How can I recover a work computer or do I have to reinstall again?

    Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

    If you have installed Windows Vista good the first time that the hard drive should be fine however I would suggest running the Dell diagnostics just to be safe. To do this follow the instructions on page 405 of this document and perform extensive tests.

  • Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

    I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

    I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

    She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

    Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

    Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  • UTL_FILE.fcopy does not work as expected after the upgrade to 10g

    Hi all, I have an Oracle database running in HP - UX 11.31. The database version is 10.2.0.5.0 and it is patched with PSUOct2011_12827745. This database has been actually upgraded to version 10.2.0.4 (no group of hotfixes) on 13 - Dec last year.

    There is a procedure in the database that reads the contents of a directory, and if there are files in this directory, the contents of the file will be read and inserted in the database. After that, the procedure will move the file to another location for archiving purpose. I will summarize below on the procedure:
    Source directory: /home/.../DB_Upload
    Source Dir name: SRC_DIR
    Destination directory: /home/.../DB_Upload/Archive
    Name of destination Dir: DEST_DIR

    Before upgrading the database, the procedure works very well. Since I upgraded to 10.2.0.5 + PSUOCt2011, the procedure still works as expected, but the file in the destination folder becomes 0 bytes, although initially the file from the source directory is nonzero bytes. The procedure contains the following lines which makes the move from the source to the destination file:
    UTL_FILE.fcopy ('SRC_DIR', 'file', 'DEST_DIR', 'file');
    UTL_FILE.fremove ('SRC_DIR', 'file');
    I tried running only the function fcopy by running the query below and I get the same result:
    exec utl_file.fcopy ('SRC_DIR', 'file', 'DEST_DIR', 'file');
    The weird part is that the procedure completed successfully, and no error message only appears. Even alert logs don't show any errors in this procedure.

    After searching for a solution, I found another method called utl_file.frename (...), which can also be used to move the file, so I decided to try it. Here's what I came up with to test:
    exec utl_file.frename ('SRC_DIR', 'file', 'DEST_DIR', 'file');
    Surprisingly, the file is moved to the destination successfully, and the size remains the same from the source (size of 0 bytes is more). Therefore, I changed the procedure to use only the frename() function, and the procedure now works successfully, with files of size zero is not in the destination.

    Is this a bug in the new version of Oracle? This never happens in 10.2.0.4 before the upgrade, and I am very surprised that after the upgrade, this problem appears. Oracle experts, please explain this. Thank you.

    Is a known bug (reported bug 12412502, bug 12345982 and Bug 9926478) to 10.2.0.5 patch group which appears only on the HP - UX Itanium platform...

    There is a work around, copied the text of Bug 9926478:

    WORKAROUND SOLUTION?
    ===========
    Yes

    WORKAROUND INFORMATION
    ======================
    Utl_file.fcopy of execution in a PL/SQL procedure.
    Workaround is acceptable for the customer.

    From My Oracle Support Note ID 1324406.1:

    Patch 12345982 (FILE CREATED FROM UTL_FILE VACUUM. FCOPY on HP - UX ITANIUM 10.2.0.5) is currently available.

    And in the same note, there is a work around using UTL_FILE. GET_RAW and UTL_FILE. PUT_RAW

    But, I think, you already found a better workaround for the cases of displacement... so you can use your workaround or apply the Patch 12345982

  • "Hyperion" menu item does not appear in Excel after the Installation of SmartView

    Hi all! When I installed first SmartView, everything was ok - menu item "Hyperion" appeared in Excel and I have established the connection to planning and has worked with the data in Excel with success. Then, once I got to select all the data passing through Ctrl + A, in the form of data open in Excel and tried to copy it to a different worksheet in the same workbook, Excel threw a message about a serious error and informed me that the add-on of Hyperion would disappear. So it has been removed actually. When I reinstall Smart view, the installation went well but the menu item "Hyperion" did not appear in Excel again. I tried to reinstall Excel both SmartView and restarted the system several times, but still the Hyperion menu item does not appear in Excel. Can someone me hint on how to solve this problem?

  • Out of amount in Excel does not apply 2 digits after the decimal

    Hi all

    Hello.

    I have an RTF template that is used to pull a release of Oracle EBS R12 report in Excel format.

    There are a few fields on the report, which must present the amount in U.S. dollars. If the XML sent out with the decimals for example 123.45 then it is print correctly on the excel column. But if the XML code sends the output 123 then instead of 123.00 on what it is like 123 exit excel.

    In the "Options" text field, Type was 'normal text '. I changed the "Number" Type and number Format #, # 0.00. But still the same thing.

    It seems, when there is no zeros after the decimal point, Excel is these cells of formatting as 'General' instead of 'Number' and drop the zeros.

    Any suggestions on this please?

    Thank you.

  • SOLVED! My new Dell Inspiron does not recognize my HP Officejet Pro L7680

    Tried USB in a different port and it worked!  All AOKAY.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have tried everything I can, including downloading drivers and using the print and scan doctor, but without success.  The printer remains invisible to the computer despite a 'bong' telltale whenever the USB cable is connected between the two.

    Who has the magic secret?

    Brian

    Brian,
    The usb port that didn't work, maybe a bad port or incompatible.
    1. who has a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0? USB 3.0 port has a usb with "SS" downstairs, logo for 'Super Speed', even if a usb 3.0 ports should take usb 2.0 devices, sometimes things don't work smoothly.
    2. usb port may be damaged (broken contact could cause the kind of question you see). There are a few contacts on the usb port, some power and some data. When a usb device is plugged in, you get the "bong", this means power is taken between the port and a PnP (Plug and Play) event is generated. The device checks with its info (PnP ID, etc.) if all of the son/contacts work, the computer gets this info and use it to identify the device and search for the best driver for it. One way to tell if the computer has obtained information is to look at Device Manager, if the computer has had the info, there will be a new added feature, those that he can find a pilot, will appear with the name and details, or if no driver is found, 'unknown device', but if you click on details, even if it is peripheral unknown It lists the ID of equipment, etc.). A "bong" without even an 'unknown device' means that the usb port is bad.

  • HP slate 7 does not wake up until after the idle or suspended display.

    I wonder if it is broken. Sometimes when I plug it into the power it will not charge.

    He died instead of sleep when left alone for 30 minutes or more.

    It takes then 45 seconds after pressing the power to start button a restart, complete reboot is necessary whenever he was left alone.

    I did a full factory reset and still it goes dead instead of sleep, requiring a full reboot. Surely it is not supposed to act like that? I can boot Windows on my PC faster that this thing starts up. Makes for a frustrating device.

    I placed a call to HP support, they offered to repair after that diagnosis was material.    I'd been through all the troubleshooting with HP, including 2 reset factory and redefinition by a file on SD card.  They said 10 days to fix my unit... I called HP Shopping and explains the problem and requested a replacement tablet.  They agreed and took the number to call for support, has published a number of RMA # and sent a FEDEX shipping label.  I sent and received for it - 2 days later they shipped a new.  Turn around was about a week of the request of replacement.  It has no suspension problems or to wake up.

    So, I have a very nice work slate 7 now - customer happy.  Do not fight with it too long, get a working one...
