Thank you for the time in responding to my problem. I am able to boot pass my Compaq splash screen to the screen where it asks which version would I'd like to run (Ubuntu with Linux 11.10, Ubuntu with Linux 11.10 Recovery Mode, and two other options). When trying to run Ubuntu with Linux 11.10 in regular bootup, it goes to the purple Ubuntu screen with the loading dots yet stays there for hours on end. When clicking the Esc button, I am directed to code that reads something like this "unable to connect to system bus: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: no such file or directory".
Running Ubuntu in Recovery Mode goes into a screen that allows me to run root commands, bootup regularly, among many other options. When trying to run Ubuntu from here, I receive a message stating "Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing." and a blinking cursor yet I am unable to type anything or escape out of the message and it appears to just sit there and do nothing. Does this problem sound like I need to reinstall Ubuntu as you mentioned previously, or is there something else that I can do to reach the Ubuntu desktop? Thank you very much for your help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950647 Title: Installation of Ubuntu keeps crashing towards the end of the installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/950647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
