| Dragostini | Hey everyone, just tried to install the latest stable Kubuntu 64bit via USB flash drive. Live booted up fine (rather fast too, I liked it), and install supposedly went smoothly, but when attempting to boot, as soon as I leave my GRUB screen, I have a never ending black screen. Backlight of my laptop is still on, so it's not dead, just a neverending black screen. Any ideas? Tried reinstalling multiple times. | 03:31 |
| Dragostini | Googling turned up many results, nothing of which helped me, so thought I'd ask here. | 03:32 |
| crowell | can you hit ctrl+alt+f1? | 03:33 |
| Dragostini | Nope. | 03:33 |
| Dragostini | tried f1-f12 | 03:34 |
| crowell | so you don't get a different tty? | 03:34 |
| Dragostini | Nope. | 03:34 |
| Dragostini | And no cursor either. | 03:34 |
| crowell | can you try booting with removing the "quiet nosplash" arguments from the grub bootline | 03:35 |
| Dragostini | Uh, no idea how to do that. | 03:35 |
| crowell | and add "nosplash debug" | 03:35 |
| Dragostini | How do I modify / add that? | 03:36 |
| crowell | hold shift during boot | 03:37 |
| crowell | you'll get to the GRUB menu | 03:37 |
| crowell | then you can edit your boot command | 03:37 |
| Dragostini | Okie. gimme a few, gotta reboot, on my windoze partition atm | 03:37 |
| Dragostini | I shall be back. | 03:37 |
| crowell | ok | 03:37 |
| crowell | if you had another machine this would go faster :-) | 03:37 |
| Dragostini | Hm, lemme grab the wifes laptop ;) | 03:38 |
| Dragostini | k two mins, booting her laptop up. | 03:39 |
| crowell | ok | 03:39 |
| === irctc180 is now known as Dragostini | ||
| Dragostini | okay | 03:42 |
| Dragostini | rebooting laptop | 03:42 |
| crowell | ok | 03:42 |
| Dragostini | so change quiet splash to debug splash? | 03:43 |
| crowell | debug nosplash | 03:43 |
| Dragostini | gotcha | 03:43 |
| Dragostini | uhh, tried to boot, bunch of text scrolled REAL FAST and back to black screen of nothing | 03:44 |
| Dragostini | \oh wait | 03:44 |
| Dragostini | in initramfs | 03:44 |
| Dragostini | It booted into the busybox build in shell (ash) | 03:46 |
| Dragostini | built* | 03:46 |
| crowell | any error messages, or just dumped to busybox? | 03:47 |
| crowell | it sounds like like if you an take a picture, that would be helpful | 03:48 |
| crowell | wow, my touchpad is really jittery today :P | 03:48 |
| Dragostini | I'm unable to scroll up, but from what I can see on the screen the only potential error or something is "systemd-udevd[117]: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/modules.dep.bin' | 03:49 |
| Dragostini | other than that its just a bunch of finding USB's | 03:49 |
| crowell | is this an EFI system? or bios? | 03:51 |
| Dragostini | bios | 03:51 |
| Dragostini | hp probook 6460b | 03:51 |
| crowell | andtthis is the first time you've booted after the install? | 03:53 |
| Dragostini | yeah | 03:53 |
| Dragostini | well aside from the initial blackscreen that brought me here | 03:54 |
| crowell | hm... that is very odd | 03:55 |
| Dragostini | I downloaded the ISO off the kubuntu website, and used UNETBOOTIN from windows to create the live USB | 03:55 |
| Dragostini | if that counts for much | 03:56 |
| crowell | one thing that you might want to try is to reinstall grub from the live disk again | 03:56 |
| crowell | I've used unetbootin a lot | 03:56 |
| Dragostini | do a total reinstall? | 03:56 |
| crowell | works pretty well | 03:56 |
| crowell | first try just repairing grub | 03:56 |
| Dragostini | and how do I go about doing that? | 03:56 |
| crowell | http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd#.UoRKCB-ldNA | 03:57 |
| Dragostini | kk lemme give that a try | 03:57 |
| Dragostini | I'll get back to you shortly | 03:57 |
| Dragostini | i'll stay on here | 03:57 |
| crowell | ok, hopefully that works | 03:57 |
| crowell | if not, I'm not totally sure | 03:57 |
| Dragostini | okay | 04:07 |
| Dragostini | it tried to boot, I saw the kubuntu load splash screen | 04:07 |
| Dragostini | and now ive got an error, sec, i\ll type it out | 04:08 |
| Dragostini | gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) | 04:08 |
| Dragostini | -check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?) | 04:08 |
| Dragostini | -check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) | 04:09 |
| Dragostini | -missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) | 04:09 |
| Dragostini | ALERT! /dev/disk/b-uuid/c3c65afa-caf7-4df4-8c61-cbd5c4e7f84c does not exist! Dropping to a shell! | 04:10 |
| Dragostini | And then back to busybox below that | 04:10 |
| crowell | sounds like bios issues maybe? | 04:10 |
| crowell | its looking for a disk by a certain id, which it can't find | 04:10 |
| Dragostini | sorry typo. by-uuid* | 04:10 |
| Dragostini | Never had any issues with any other distro :S | 04:11 |
| Dragostini | So I'm not sure it would be BIOS | 04:11 |
| crowell | on the same machine? | 04:11 |
| crowell | try adding the following to your grub boot line then | 04:11 |
| Dragostini | was just running OpenSUSE 12.3 KDE yesterday, and Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon three hours ago on that machine\ | 04:11 |
| crowell | rootdelay=130 | 04:11 |
| Dragostini | k sec | 04:12 |
| crowell | if that doesn't work, then the problem is menu.lst is holding the wrong uuid | 04:12 |
| Dragostini | added rootdelay=130 to bottom of grub boot line | 04:13 |
| Dragostini | testing | 04:13 |
| crowell | ok | 04:13 |
| Dragostini | same error | 04:13 |
| crowell | so yeah, your uuid is wrong on menu.lst | 04:13 |
| Dragostini | any way to fix? | 04:14 |
| crowell | ofc :-) | 04:14 |
| Dragostini | ^^ | 04:14 |
| crowell | are you in the busybox shell? | 04:14 |
| Dragostini | yep | 04:14 |
| crowell | ok, type in "blkid" | 04:14 |
| crowell | if it doesn't work there, you'll have to do it from the live disk again :/ | 04:14 |
| Dragostini | did nothing that I can see | 04:14 |
| Dragostini | in konsole? | 04:15 |
| crowell | ok, boot up the live disk, then do "sudo blkid" | 04:15 |
| crowell | yeah, in the console | 04:15 |
| Dragostini | kk sec | 04:15 |
| Dragostini | okay it gave me some spew of UUID's | 04:17 |
| Dragostini | my two windows partitions, my ext4 and my swap | 04:17 |
| crowell | ok, do you know which one is your boot partition? | 04:17 |
| crowell | should be one of the ext4 | 04:17 |
| crowell | if you only have one ext4, then its that one | 04:17 |
| Dragostini | there is only one ext5 | 04:18 |
| Dragostini | er | 04:18 |
| Dragostini | ext4* | 04:18 |
| crowell | ok | 04:18 |
| crowell | great | 04:18 |
| crowell | so if you can mount your ext4 partition, then edit menu.lst to contain the uuid instead of what it currently has | 04:18 |
| crowell | either that or you can just write down the uuid | 04:19 |
| crowell | then edit your grub line to reflect the proper uuid | 04:19 |
| Dragostini | I'll write it down on this laptop in a text file | 04:19 |
| crowell | (will say some stuff like root=UUID=blahblahblah | 04:19 |
| crowell | just updateit to the right one | 04:19 |
| crowell | then when you boot edit /boot/grub.menu.list | 04:19 |
| crowell | otherwise, you;ll have to do this every time you boot | 04:20 |
| crowell | but now when you make the edit you should be good to boot :-) | 04:20 |
| crowell | I don't know why grub messed that up the first time | 04:21 |
| Dragostini | okay, i wrote it down, so when I go into the grub boot edit like I have been, there should be a root=UUID=blahblah that I replace with the UUID I just wrote down? | 04:22 |
| crowell | correct | 04:22 |
| crowell | going to be afk for like 20 minutes, need to find my cat, I'll be back though | 04:23 |
| Dragostini | and when I manage (hopefully) to make it into kubuntu, edit that file and replace the UUID with it as well | 04:23 |
| crowell | correct | 04:23 |
| Dragostini | okay, I'll be here to keep you posted lol | 04:23 |
| Dragostini | thanks crowell | 04:23 |
| crowell | great, no problem! | 04:23 |
| Dragostini | hm, no dice crowell. Same error. I am in the grub edit right now, and its listed correctly, exactly, in two places. | 04:27 |
| Dragostini | first is search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root (theUUIDishere) | 04:28 |
| Dragostini | Second is a couple lines down: Linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=UUID=(UUIDishere) ro quiet splas\h $vt_handoff | 04:29 |
| Dragostini | the splas\h etc is due to it cutting into a new line | 04:30 |
| Dragostini | I need to afk about 15 minutes or so myself, back shortly | 04:32 |
| Dragostini | back | 04:58 |
| Dragostini | sorry crowell that took a little longer than i expected | 04:58 |
| crowell | Dragostini: so you saved with the proper uuid and still didnt work? | 05:02 |
| Dragostini | Yeah :S | 05:03 |
| crowell | sorry, but I'm blanking here | 05:04 |
| Dragostini | I might just have to switch to another distro perhaps... | 05:05 |
| Dragostini | I know others worked, I just wanted to try Kubuntu | 05:05 |
| crowell | you can try another fresh install, maybe something errored? | 05:05 |
| Dragostini | tried that already before I came on here | 05:05 |
| crowell | yeah, sorry about that, I can't really think of another reason for it | 05:06 |
| Dragostini | its okay dude. I'm going to see if I can poke around and figure it out, and if not, I guess download another distro | 05:06 |
| Dragostini | Thanks for your help crowell I do appreciate your effort | 05:07 |
| crowell | np | 05:08 |

| Teleport | anyone? | 12:24 |
| shadeslayer | Teleport: wrong channel, we do not provide support for KXStudio | 12:29 |
| Teleport | shadeslayer it's kubuntu based | 12:30 |
| shadeslayer | doesn't matter | 12:30 |
| shadeslayer | if it's a derivative, it's not supported here | 12:30 |
| Teleport | so what do you think about this? | 12:30 |
| Teleport | cause kx is empty | 12:30 |
| shadeslayer | *shrug* | 12:31 |
| shadeslayer | I'd check the md5sum of the ISO | 12:31 |
| Teleport | shadeslayer not match with anything! | 12:34 |

| Moscherkobold | hello, is someone here | 18:50 |
| Moscherkobold | it seems that I have a problems since an update some days ago | 18:50 |
| Moscherkobold | my KWin window effects do not work anymore | 18:51 |
| Moscherkobold | it seems that my graphic card driver is not installed proberly at the moment | 18:52 |
| Moscherkobold | i have an AMD graphic card, in the "additional driver" window I can see 2 drivers, no matter which one I select it does not work | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. do you mean it doesn't install properly ? | 18:55 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: the installation seems to be ok and the little indicator in front of the drivers name is green, however there is a text below that says something like "the driver is activatet, but not in use" | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | if it installs Moscherkobold is the activate option showing ? | 18:57 |
| Moscherkobold | no | 18:58 |
| Moscherkobold | also the amd watermark is not in the bottom right egde of my screen anymore | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | which AMD card is it ? | 18:59 |
| Moscherkobold | 78xx | 18:59 |
| Moscherkobold | i have two driver in my list the one with the green light i can "remove" the one with the grey dot in front I can "activate" | 19:00 |
| BluesKaj | and you activated it , with poor results ? | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. ^ | 19:05 |
| Moscherkobold | well my kwin effects does not work anymore, and i have noticed that the AMD watermark was suddenly gone | 19:05 |
| Moscherkobold | if i go into system settings | 19:05 |
| Moscherkobold | window effects | 19:06 |
| BluesKaj | you rebooted after activation , i assume , Moscherkobold ? | 19:06 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: yes | 19:06 |
| Moscherkobold | there is a message OPENGL-compositing has caused a crash of Kwin | 19:06 |
| Moscherkobold | probably the reason was a faulty driver | 19:07 |
| Moscherkobold | (sorry I am translating the text by myself from german into english) | 19:07 |
| BluesKaj | and the Qt graphics is setting is native or raster ? | 19:08 |
| Moscherkobold | opengl3.1 nativ | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | correction: and the Qt graphics setting is native or raster ? | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | try the raster setting | 19:09 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: something crashed and i was returned to the login screen after a few seconds | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. , open a terminal , sudo apt-get install dkms | 19:11 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: ok (was already installed) | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | in the terminal , dkms status , what's the output ? | 19:14 |
| Moscherkobold | fglrx-updates, 13.101, 3.11.0-13-generic, x86_64: installed | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | ok , sudo apt-get install fglrx | 19:16 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: uhoh the installation was running and then the same thing happend again, a black screen for 2sec and i was returned to the login screen | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. is this an AGP or PCI card ? | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | or onboard? | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. are you sure the 78xx is AMD , I see references to nvidia 78xx in google | 19:27 |

| renaud-46 | bonjour! | 19:28 |
| renaud-46 | hi | 19:28 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: sry i have to write from my mobilephone now :) | 19:29 |
| Moscherkobold | pci-e card | 19:29 |
| Moscherkobold | yes sure amd | 19:29 |
| Moscherkobold | after a reboot i see the os select screen then a kubuntu logo and when the login screen should appear the screen is black and goes into powersave after some sec | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. , try another update and upgrade , there may be a graphics update/fix in the repos . | 19:39 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: i have done some update upgrade reinstall flgrx in the recovery console and i can use my pc again :) | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | aha :) | 19:43 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. good , glad to hear it :) | 19:43 |
| Moscherkobold | however the window effects are still not working and the amd watermark is also missing, so something is not ok with the driver :9 | 19:43 |
| Moscherkobold | i will try the second one from the additional driver window | 19:44 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: do you have any futher suggestion? | 19:50 |
| BluesKaj | not sure , Moscherkobold , have you looked at the amd/ati site for a proprietary linux driver for the 78xx ? | 19:52 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: hmm no, good idea i will do that | 19:53 |

| ovrflw0x | how to switch from xubuntu to kubuntu? | 19:54 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: Install the kubuntu-desktop package. | 19:54 |
| ovrflw0x | then | 19:55 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: After that follow this guide: | 19:55 |
| lordievader | !purekde | ovrflw0x | 19:55 |
| ubottu | ovrflw0x: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 19:55 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, i'm on 13.10 | 19:56 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal). If you're using 12.04, go here. If you're using 11.10, go here. If you're using 10.04, go here. | 19:57 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: Probably hasn't changed much ;) | 19:57 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, what will happen to the infinality patch? | 19:57 |
| ovrflw0x | i've it installed | 19:57 |
| BluesKaj | yeah the pure kde guide is usually out of date by a yr or so | 19:58 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: Infinality patch? | 19:58 |
| ovrflw0x | yes | 19:58 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: I have never heard of that patch, could you give some background/details? | 19:59 |
| ovrflw0x | infinality.net | 19:59 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: how to install the downloaded file? | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. what's the file extension ? | 20:00 |
| Moscherkobold | run | 20:00 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough? | 20:01 |
| ovrflw0x | for 13.10 | 20:01 |
| ovrflw0x | Moscherkobold, make that run file executable and do sh file.run | 20:02 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: The one from !purekde will probably work fine. About the infinality thing, I have no experience with font settings. I simply use the defaults. | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. , open a terminal in the folder where it's located , then, ./nameofdriverpackage.run | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | with sudo | 20:03 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, will installing kubuntu-desktop also change the xubuntu pic during the boot? | 20:05 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: No idea ;). You can customize it though, if you want. | 20:06 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, do you like xfce or kde? | 20:07 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: I have never really used xfce. | 20:07 |
| ovrflw0x | lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-kubuntu/ for 13.10 | 20:08 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: Probably yes. The thing is, if you find the lib on which the whole xfce depends you only need to remove it. That lib is probably somewhere in their commands. | 20:10 |
| ovrflw0x | i already did "sudo install kubuntu-desktop" and packages are getting downloaded can i STOP them and follow the command give by psychocats.net? will all the package install resume or download from beginning? | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | ovrflw0x. not a good idea | 20:16 |
| lordievader | ovrflw0x: It doesn't matter if you first install kubu-desktop and then remove xfce or the other way around. | 20:16 |
| ovrflw0x | k | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 20:20 |
| Moscherkobold | BluesKaj: thank you now everything is working :) | 20:23 |
| Moscherkobold | just to know, was my graphic card driver autoupdated or something | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | Moscherkobold. good to hear :) | 20:37 |
