| twisted_steel | Is there any documentation on debugging bugs that completely lock up a system? | 03:20 |
|---|---|---|
| twisted_steel | For example, my computer will completely freeze if I enable compositing and will no longer accept local input or remote input via ssh or pings. | 03:20 |

| Awsoonn_ | bug 432114 has cropped up on two of my systems last night. Is there anything I should know? | 20:13 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 432114 in dbus "GUI/dbus does not start, and network-manager crashes in libdbus" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/432114 | 20:13 |
| Awsoonn_ | where can I find debuging info for dbus? | 20:29 |
| davmor2 | Awsoonn_: you upgrade at the wrong time. | 20:49 |
| davmor2 | Awsoonn_: try booting up till you get dropped into the console and type: sudo ifconfig eth0 up and then sudo dhclient then try a dist-upgrade and see if that fixes it for you | 20:50 |
| Awsoonn_ | davmor2: I realise this... now that it's done.... Is there somewhere this is posted when the archive is in an inconsitant state | 20:50 |
| Awsoonn_ | ? | 20:50 |
| davmor2 | Awsoonn_: it wasn't known till peoples systems died too late then :( | 20:51 |
| Awsoonn_ | :( indeed | 20:51 |
| davmor2 | Awsoonn_: let me know if that works for you | 20:52 |
| Awsoonn_ | davmor2: dhclient was the majic command I was looking for, I'll let you know in a minutes | 20:54 |
| Awsoonn_ | davmor2: updates are pulling and I'm smiling like a mad-man | 20:56 |
| Awsoonn_ | < davmor2> Awsoonn_: try booting up till you get dropped into the console and type: sudo ifconfig eth0 up and then sudo dhclient then try a dist-upgrade and see if that fixes it for you | 20:56 |
| Awsoonn_ | sorry, about the paste... | 20:56 |
| JEEBsv | Awsoonn_: thanks | 20:57 |
| JEEBsv | I'll try to get it running as well | 20:57 |
| JEEBsv | how quickly should the system fall into a console? Several minutes? | 20:57 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: do you have an intel i915 gfx card? | 20:58 |
| JEEBsv | I have intel graphics on an eeepc 900 and the latest batch of updates made it so that I can't boot into anything graphical. I do see some flowing text before the screen going blank and the cpu doing nothing | 20:59 |
| JEEBsv | I remember seeing i915 in the lspci | 20:59 |
| JEEBsv | not sure though | 20:59 |
| davmor2 | pitti: filed a bug about that give me a minute | 21:00 |
| * BlackFate away | 21:01 | |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/431812 | 21:02 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 431812 in sysvinit "fbcon loading a mystery (screen powers off)" [High,Confirmed] | 21:02 |
| JEEBsv | let's see | 21:04 |
| JEEBsv | now if I only could get into a console :/ | 21:05 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: Reboot keep you finger on shift go into rescue mode | 21:06 |
| JEEBsv | thanks | 21:07 |
| JEEBsv | even doing that seems to invoke some kind of X or something and even pressing ctrl+alt+f1/f2 doesn't seem to get me into console | 21:10 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: there a grub boot command that starts just /bin/bash two secs | 21:13 |
| JEEBsv | okies | 21:14 |
| Awsoonn_ | davmor2: just curious as to why that problem cropped up? | 21:17 |
| davmor2 | upgrade to using upstart instead of init | 21:17 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: init=/bin/bash | 21:20 |
| JEEBsv | okies | 21:20 |
| BUGabundo | boas | 21:21 |
| JEEBsv | okies, I'm in | 21:23 |
| * JEEBsv goes to get his cat5 cable | 21:23 | |
| davmor2 | Awsoonn_: is you system back up now? | 21:27 |
| JEEBsv | humph, that shell doesn't find my eths | 21:32 |
| JEEBsv | lspci does find the network controller at least | 21:33 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: you only need to do comment 11 in that bug I gave you | 21:35 |
| JEEBsv | okies | 21:35 |
| davmor2 | it should then stop switching your monitor off | 21:35 |
| davmor2 | you can then either boot properly or do the sudo line you were given | 21:36 |
| JEEBsv | I'll first have to mount the filesystem as writable as well | 21:37 |
| JEEBsv | okies, generating | 21:41 |
| JEEBsv | rebooting | 21:42 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: any joy? | 21:44 |
| JEEBsv | not atm, I got "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" during the next boot | 21:45 |
| JEEBsv | I'll have to check my ext4 :3 | 21:46 |
| JEEBsv | I feel like it'll be a long night for me | 21:48 |
| davmor2 | JEEBsv: the easiest alternative is just drop a new copy of alpha 6 on it | 21:49 |
| JEEBsv | true | 21:51 |
| * JEEBsv gets unetbootin | 21:51 | |
| JEEBsv | argh, the only other system I'm at has no root priviledges -.- | 21:55 |
| JEEBsv | time to go windows I guess | 21:55 |
