Can't log into Ubuntu

[Nick Bikkal]

Hello,

I no longer am to use my Ubuntu. It was working fine until I started creating files on Google Earth to keep pins together. First problem was I lost my pins, all but my starting location. Next l am not able to log into Ubuntu. Is there a way to fix Ubuntu without losing everything? I have many Gb of disk & 4 Gb of memory.

Thank you,

Nick

He might want to know how to get there:

Hold down the Shift key during bootup, when the grub menu shows up
select Recovery Mode.

In what way are you not able to log in?  What happens when you try?

Hi,
I need to make an image to computers with low hardware performance. I
want to make a customization of ubuntu 12.04 using the debian installer,
rather, based on ubuntu 12.04 alternate

You can use Lubuntu, if that not works then try Knoppix. Believe me Knoppix works fine in low ended PCs

What ways have you tried to get in? Does this issue also appear on
TTYs or only with LightDM (or whatever display manager you use)?

You can get into TTY1 by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1.

The principal problem is that I want to remaster this image with new
programs and applications, remastersys is a good tool, but it use the
ubiquity installer, and ubiquity does not work in computers with low
hardware performance, then i need to use the debian installer

I agree with Ashickur.

There is already a good Ubuntu variant for low-power PCs - it is
Lubuntu: http://lubuntu.net/

If it is still too demanding, there are not many super-lightweight
Linux distributions left:
* Puppy - http://puppylinux.org
* Crunchbang - http://crunchbanglinux.org/
* Vector - http://vectorlinux.com/

If you want to stay in the Ubuntu "family", try Lubuntu.

It has an "alternate installer" CD image available which uses the
text-based installer.

If it does not meet your needs, Lubuntu has a good mailing list where
I suggest you ask.

i am thinking to use lubuntu, but if you need to install 30 computers is
very dificult to install 30 times lubuntu and then install the
applications need in those machine,
I need to remsater the ubuntu alternate cd to build an image with all
this application, changing some things, as the boot image, the desktop
background, and more.

Obviously it depends on what you want to do, and how individual the
systems' configurations will be, but if I were you, I would install
one machine, customise it as desired, then image its disk and copy
that image onto the other units' hard disks.

There are no issues with drivers, serial numbers or anything in *buntu
- copies should Just Work™.

I've done this. But there are a couple of things to watch for:


* All clones will use the same UUID for their swap and data partitions.
Easy to change, but requires you update grub after.

* All clones will have the same hostname, so use a hostname that wont
conflict with another machine, and change it later.

* All clones will have the same ssh host keys if you install openssh-server


And there may be other things that will need tweaking depending on what you
install. If there were some script or program that installed your programs
on a fresh install, that would be nice.

Does it matter if disks on separate machines have the same UUID?

I don't think it causes a problem unless like me, you sometimes move drives
around to service, etc.

Install Lubuntu, install all thing you need. Make it remastered. Then install all other PCs. Simple Solution. If it not works you can look forward for Ubuntu Builder :)

and the other thing, when you copy the disk to another machine, you need
to delete the network rules(rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persisten.net.rules)
and many others
