[03:20] Is there any documentation on debugging bugs that completely lock up a system? [03:20] 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. [07:09] good morning === asac_ is now known as asac === dwg_ is now known as dwg [10:29] :) [15:02] Boo [15:52] #ubuntu-classroom Session in 8 minutes: How to run an Ubuntu Jam session! === micahg1 is now known as micahg [20:13] bug 432114 has cropped up on two of my systems last night. Is there anything I should know? [20:13] Launchpad bug 432114 in dbus "GUI/dbus does not start, and network-manager crashes in libdbus" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/432114 [20:29] where can I find debuging info for dbus? [20:49] Awsoonn_: you upgrade at the wrong time. [20:50] 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] 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] ? [20:51] Awsoonn_: it wasn't known till peoples systems died too late then :( [20:51] :( indeed [20:52] Awsoonn_: let me know if that works for you [20:54] davmor2: dhclient was the majic command I was looking for, I'll let you know in a minutes [20:56] davmor2: updates are pulling and I'm smiling like a mad-man [20:56] < 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] sorry, about the paste... [20:57] Awsoonn_: thanks [20:57] I'll try to get it running as well [20:57] how quickly should the system fall into a console? Several minutes? [20:58] JEEBsv: do you have an intel i915 gfx card? [20:59] 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] I remember seeing i915 in the lspci [20:59] not sure though [21:00] pitti: filed a bug about that give me a minute [21:01] * BlackFate away [21:02] JEEBsv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/431812 [21:02] Launchpad bug 431812 in sysvinit "fbcon loading a mystery (screen powers off)" [High,Confirmed] [21:04] let's see [21:05] now if I only could get into a console :/ [21:06] JEEBsv: Reboot keep you finger on shift go into rescue mode [21:07] thanks [21:10] 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 [21:13] JEEBsv: there a grub boot command that starts just /bin/bash two secs [21:14] okies [21:17] davmor2: just curious as to why that problem cropped up? [21:17] upgrade to using upstart instead of init [21:20] JEEBsv: init=/bin/bash [21:20] okies [21:21] boas [21:23] okies, I'm in [21:23] * JEEBsv goes to get his cat5 cable [21:27] Awsoonn_: is you system back up now? [21:32] humph, that shell doesn't find my eths [21:33] lspci does find the network controller at least [21:35] JEEBsv: you only need to do comment 11 in that bug I gave you [21:35] okies [21:35] it should then stop switching your monitor off [21:36] you can then either boot properly or do the sudo line you were given [21:37] I'll first have to mount the filesystem as writable as well [21:41] okies, generating [21:42] rebooting [21:44] JEEBsv: any joy? [21:45] not atm, I got "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" during the next boot [21:46] I'll have to check my ext4 :3 [21:48] I feel like it'll be a long night for me [21:49] JEEBsv: the easiest alternative is just drop a new copy of alpha 6 on it [21:51] true [21:51] * JEEBsv gets unetbootin [21:55] argh, the only other system I'm at has no root priviledges -.- [21:55] time to go windows I guess [22:15] bdmurray, i got an email this morning that I'm going to expire from bugcontrol - can you please renew my membership?
