| josephzitt | Hi, all. I just put Ubuntu Stodio 11.10 on my laptop after having used ubuntu for a long time. Booting up, I get the "Gave up waiting for root device" error. Following instructions on one web site, I changed the "root=UUID..." vlue to /dev/sda1. It had no effect. I can boot up OK to older kernels. Any idea how to get this working? | 06:00 |
| acerimmer | josephzitt: u there? | 06:04 |
| josephzitt | Yup, I | 06:05 |
| josephzitt | m here | 06:05 |
| acerimmer | josephzitt: what method did u use to install UStudio and from what version | 06:05 |
| josephzitt | (hitting the wrong keys, but here :-] ) | 06:06 |
| josephzitt | I installed 11.10 for x86 from a USB drive | 06:06 |
| acerimmer | josephzitt: did you reset your bios to boot the hard drive? | 06:07 |
| josephzitt | I don't think so, unless it happens automatically. | 06:07 |
| josephzitt | FWIW, the system dual boots Ubuntu and Win 7 (needed for work( | 06:08 |
| acerimmer | josephzitt: nope. reboot and your screen will flash "hit Fsomething for boot options" go in and manually reset your bios to boot the hdd first. BTW, dual boot or anything weird like that? | 06:09 |
| josephzitt | Yes, dual boot with Win 7 | 06:09 |
| acerimmer | did you install windows then ubuntu to the other way? | 06:09 |
| josephzitt | It came with Windows. I added Ubuntu. Been running it that way for a while, with the default boot being into Ubuntu | 06:10 |
| acerimmer | wubi or real dual boot? | 06:11 |
| josephzitt | Real | 06:11 |
| josephzitt | OK, BIOS was and is set to boot from the hard drive | 06:11 |
| acerimmer | adding ustudio should NOT be effecting you that way. | 06:12 |
| acerimmer | try the reboot | 06:12 |
| josephzitt | Right. I think something may have gone screwy with the kernel that it used | 06:12 |
| josephzitt | Rebooting | 06:12 |
| acerimmer | josephzitt: btw you DID md5sum check before you installed? | 06:12 |
| josephzitt | Yes | 06:13 |
| josephzitt | Apparently, this is a fairly common problem, though with a lot of different versions of Ubuntu over the years. | 06:14 |
| josephzitt | Interesting: it dumped me to the (initmfs) prompt as it had been but without showing the error message. | 06:14 |
| acerimmer | does your grub menu offer more than one ubuntu boot option? i.e. Ubuntu with 2.3.4 kernel, with 2.3.5 kernel? if so boot a previous version, do all updates then reboot newest kernel | 06:15 |
| josephzitt | I did that, Went to the previous kernel and did updates, though it looked like it had only updated the older kernel that that used, | 06:15 |
| josephzitt | This was with apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 06:16 |
| acerimmer | can you get into safeboot i.e. text mode | 06:17 |
| josephzitt | Is that the recovery mode option on the grub menu? | 06:17 |
| acerimmer | yes | 06:17 |
| josephzitt | trying it now | 06:17 |
| acerimmer | see this. I've not had the specific kernel error you're working with, but my system has hiccuped over a couple of kernel upgrades. Somehow, it always self corrected. anyway, I think this is what you want: http://zeeis.me/ubuntu-error-gave-up-waiting-for-root-device/ | 06:18 |
| josephzitt | It got partway, then dropped me to the (initramfs) prompt with errors. | 06:19 |
| acerimmer | see the above tutorial. I think you can recover. otherwise, reinstall. Sorry I couldn't offer anything more. | 06:20 |
| josephzitt | Looking at it now | 06:21 |
| josephzitt | When I entered "sudo chroot /media/fix su" I go "chroot: failed to run command 'su': No such file or directory" | 06:25 |
| josephzitt | s/I go/I got/ | 06:25 |
| acerimmer | copy and paste or fingerpeck? | 06:26 |
| josephzitt | Wait, I missed a step | 06:26 |
| josephzitt | Fingerpeck/ | 06:29 |
| josephzitt | But now I realize that I'm not sure if I'm using /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 and may have changed to the wrong one when following the other instructions. How do i check which is which? | 06:30 |
| acerimmer | If I've read your profile correctly, it's about 1:30 a.m., Excuse me for suggesting that the error rate increases exponentially after midnight? | 06:30 |
| josephzitt | Actually, since I woke up at about 1 PM, I'm pretty much as good as I get :-) | 06:31 |
| josephzitt | It's just that, even though I've been using Linux since the mid-90s, I still seem to be just learning it. | 06:33 |
| akston | Hello | 16:52 |
| akston | Hadn't seen anything on the mailing list, will there be a new Studio LTS? | 16:52 |
| akston | Hmmn looks like there's a Studio daily build so I gather it will be LTS | 17:01 |
| holstein | akston: ubuntu 12.04 is a long term support release | 17:02 |
| holstein | those happen every 2 years.. 10.04 was LTS.. 8.04... 14.04 will be one | 17:03 |
| holstein | the big change is that the support cycle for ubuntu desktop has changes from 3 years to 5 years for LTS | 17:03 |
| akston | Ok. I'm happy the project is up and running, heard it was touch and go for a bit... Studio's my favourite distro | 17:03 |
| holstein | akston: its a community project, so its not going anywhere.. folks get busy, and some battles are uphill | 17:04 |
| akston | I wouldn't mind helping test a reasonably stable beta when it's available... do you know the timeframe? | 17:05 |
| holstein | akston: nah.. its hard to say.. we are trying to go to a live CD | 17:05 |
| akston | Ok... I'll add this channel and waitandsee | 17:06 |
| holstein | /join #ubuntustudio-devel and feel free and join the user and devel mailing lists | 17:06 |
| holstein | akston: and just ping me or whatever | 17:06 |
| akston | Oh, there'll still be the alternate CD too right? For LUKS? | 17:07 |
| holstein | akston: not sure... | 17:07 |
| holstein | i think its looking more like, there might be a live CD | 17:08 |
| akston | I'm afeared of doing a LUKS install from scratch but I'm sure it can be done :) | 17:09 |
| holstein | i wouldnt do that for performance concerns personally | 17:10 |
| akston | BTW 11.04 threw my gconf directory so I had to redo a bunch of settings... only thing I can't figure is how to get the ALT-left/right volume widget that composits on the screen back. Any idea what that package is called? | 17:13 |
| holstein | not sure | 17:14 |
| holstein | feel free and run main ubuntu though with the studio pacakges added | 17:14 |
| holstein | im not sure if you are in gnome or not | 17:14 |

| Guest38251 | in ubuntu support we ask me | 22:17 |
| Guest38251 | the name of package ... | 22:17 |
| holstein | Guest38251: i would imagine its like any other clock app though | 22:17 |
| holstein | you right click on it, and edit the settings | 22:17 |
| holstein | Guest38251: a screenshot could help | 22:17 |
| Guest38251 | one moment | 22:17 |
| holstein | i literally have *no* idea what is in the dock in 11.10's classic mode | 22:17 |
| holstein | we (ubuntustudio) dont deal with it | 22:18 |
| Guest38251 | you are in ubuntu studio right? | 22:18 |
| holstein | but, i'll try and help, or point you in the right direction | 22:18 |
| holstein | Guest38251: rigth | 22:18 |
| holstein | we ship XFCE with ubuntustudio | 22:18 |
| holstein | there is no "classic | 22:18 |
| Guest38251 | click with right button in clock | 22:18 |
| holstein | that is with main ubuntu | 22:18 |
| holstein | this is ubuntustudio | 22:18 |
| holstein | where we ship only XFCE now | 22:19 |
| Guest38251 | you can change the metod og see the clock | 22:19 |
| holstein | Guest38251: it doesnt matter what i right click on, i dont have the classic desktop installed | 22:19 |
| Guest38251 | holstein ... | 22:19 |
| holstein | but, im more than happy to take a look if you want to take a screenshot | 22:20 |
| Guest38251 | today I've tried ubuntu studio | 22:20 |
| Guest38251 | I changed to ubuntu studio, the mode display | 22:20 |
| Guest38251 | There are 5 different ways to view it | 22:21 |
| holstein | Guest38251: right | 22:21 |
| holstein | thats XFCE | 22:21 |
| holstein | not the classic display | 22:21 |
| holstein | but, we dont need to split hairs about it | 22:21 |
| holstein | the fact is i dont know what it looks like, or how it funcitions, since i havent needed to support it | 22:21 |
| holstein | but, just take a screenshot, and i'll give it a look | 22:22 |
| holstein | :) | 22:22 |
| Guest38251 | I am Italian, in Italy they are called: analog, binary, and two other INCORRECT | 22:22 |
| holstein | Guest38251: OK | 22:22 |
| Guest38251 | and incorrect :-) | 22:22 |
| holstein | Guest38251: would you like to file a bug then? | 22:22 |
| holstein | or offer to help with translation? | 22:22 |
| holstein | Guest38251: if its in the classic mode, you can file that with ubuntu | 22:23 |
| holstein | but, its going to be phased out anyways | 22:23 |
| holstein | next cycle | 22:23 |
| Guest38251 | time in the "INCORRECT" is displayed eg as 4.00, but it is written: "four o'clock" | 22:23 |
| Guest38251 | undstand? | 22:23 |
| holstein | Guest38251: right... i understand.. its not displaying correctly in the ubuntu classic mode | 22:23 |
| Guest38251 | no no no | 22:23 |
| Guest38251 | i want to know the name ... the clock for ubuntustudio | 22:24 |
| holstein | Guest38251: its the XFCE one | 22:24 |
| holstein | Guest38251: but thats not the clock you are asking about | 22:24 |
| holstein | Guest38251: xfce is *not* classic mode | 22:24 |
| holstein | they are different | 22:24 |
| holstein | i think the classic mode uses the gnome3 clock | 22:25 |
| Guest38251 | i can install the clock in gnome? | 22:25 |
| holstein | Guest38251: what im saying is, that *is* the gnome clock | 22:25 |
| holstein | classic mode is gnome, a custom gnome3 kind of thing.. ubuntustudio uses XFCE.. a *totally* different interface | 22:26 |
| Guest38251 | :-( | 22:26 |
| holstein | Guest38251: just take a screenshot | 22:26 |
| holstein | http://imagebin.org/ | 22:26 |
| holstein | ill tell you what you have | 22:27 |
| Guest38251 | I thought that I could install it and put it | 22:27 |
| holstein | Guest38251: you have | 22:27 |
| holstein | if you have ubuntustudio running *any* form of gnome, you have | 22:27 |
| holstein | Guest38251: check out #ubuntu-it , im sure they can help you, and probably just dont understand that you are not using the ubuntustudio UI, which is XFCE | 22:31 |
| Guest38251 | .... don't worry :-) | 22:32 |
| holstein | ? | 22:32 |
| Guest38251 | in ubuntu-it tell me .. the name of package ... | 22:32 |
| Guest38251 | the clock ... :-) | 22:33 |
| holstein | yeah, gnome-clock or soemthing like that | 22:35 |
