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. [03:32] Googling turned up many results, nothing of which helped me, so thought I'd ask here. [03:33] can you hit ctrl+alt+f1? [03:33] Nope. [03:34] tried f1-f12 [03:34] so you don't get a different tty? [03:34] Nope. [03:34] And no cursor either. [03:35] can you try booting with removing the "quiet nosplash" arguments from the grub bootline [03:35] Uh, no idea how to do that. [03:35] and add "nosplash debug" [03:36] How do I modify / add that? [03:37] hold shift during boot [03:37] you'll get to the GRUB menu [03:37] then you can edit your boot command [03:37] Okie. gimme a few, gotta reboot, on my windoze partition atm [03:37] I shall be back. [03:37] ok [03:37] if you had another machine this would go faster :-) [03:38] Hm, lemme grab the wifes laptop ;) [03:39] k two mins, booting her laptop up. [03:39] ok === irctc180 is now known as Dragostini [03:42] okay [03:42] rebooting laptop [03:42] ok [03:43] so change quiet splash to debug splash? [03:43] debug nosplash [03:43] gotcha [03:44] uhh, tried to boot, bunch of text scrolled REAL FAST and back to black screen of nothing [03:44] \oh wait [03:44] in initramfs [03:46] It booted into the busybox build in shell (ash) [03:46] built* [03:47] any error messages, or just dumped to busybox? [03:48] it sounds like like if you an take a picture, that would be helpful [03:48] wow, my touchpad is really jittery today :P [03:49] 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] other than that its just a bunch of finding USB's [03:51] is this an EFI system? or bios? [03:51] bios [03:51] hp probook 6460b [03:53] andtthis is the first time you've booted after the install? [03:53] yeah [03:54] well aside from the initial blackscreen that brought me here [03:55] hm... that is very odd [03:55] I downloaded the ISO off the kubuntu website, and used UNETBOOTIN from windows to create the live USB [03:56] if that counts for much [03:56] one thing that you might want to try is to reinstall grub from the live disk again [03:56] I've used unetbootin a lot [03:56] do a total reinstall? [03:56] works pretty well [03:56] first try just repairing grub [03:56] and how do I go about doing that? [03:57] http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd#.UoRKCB-ldNA [03:57] kk lemme give that a try [03:57] I'll get back to you shortly [03:57] i'll stay on here [03:57] ok, hopefully that works [03:57] if not, I'm not totally sure [04:07] okay [04:07] it tried to boot, I saw the kubuntu load splash screen [04:08] and now ive got an error, sec, i\ll type it out [04:08] gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) [04:08] -check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?) [04:09] -check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) [04:09] -missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) [04:10] ALERT! /dev/disk/b-uuid/c3c65afa-caf7-4df4-8c61-cbd5c4e7f84c does not exist! Dropping to a shell! [04:10] And then back to busybox below that [04:10] sounds like bios issues maybe? [04:10] its looking for a disk by a certain id, which it can't find [04:10] sorry typo. by-uuid* [04:11] Never had any issues with any other distro :S [04:11] So I'm not sure it would be BIOS [04:11] on the same machine? [04:11] try adding the following to your grub boot line then [04:11] was just running OpenSUSE 12.3 KDE yesterday, and Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon three hours ago on that machine\ [04:11] rootdelay=130 [04:12] k sec [04:12] if that doesn't work, then the problem is menu.lst is holding the wrong uuid [04:13] added rootdelay=130 to bottom of grub boot line [04:13] testing [04:13] ok [04:13] same error [04:13] so yeah, your uuid is wrong on menu.lst [04:14] any way to fix? [04:14] ofc :-) [04:14] ^^ [04:14] are you in the busybox shell? [04:14] yep [04:14] ok, type in "blkid" [04:14] if it doesn't work there, you'll have to do it from the live disk again :/ [04:14] did nothing that I can see [04:15] in konsole? [04:15] ok, boot up the live disk, then do "sudo blkid" [04:15] yeah, in the console [04:15] kk sec [04:17] okay it gave me some spew of UUID's [04:17] my two windows partitions, my ext4 and my swap [04:17] ok, do you know which one is your boot partition? [04:17] should be one of the ext4 [04:17] if you only have one ext4, then its that one [04:18] there is only one ext5 [04:18] er [04:18] ext4* [04:18] ok [04:18] great [04:18] so if you can mount your ext4 partition, then edit menu.lst to contain the uuid instead of what it currently has [04:19] either that or you can just write down the uuid [04:19] then edit your grub line to reflect the proper uuid [04:19] I'll write it down on this laptop in a text file [04:19] (will say some stuff like root=UUID=blahblahblah [04:19] just updateit to the right one [04:19] then when you boot edit /boot/grub.menu.list [04:20] otherwise, you;ll have to do this every time you boot [04:20] but now when you make the edit you should be good to boot :-) [04:21] I don't know why grub messed that up the first time [04:22] 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] correct [04:23] going to be afk for like 20 minutes, need to find my cat, I'll be back though [04:23] and when I manage (hopefully) to make it into kubuntu, edit that file and replace the UUID with it as well [04:23] correct [04:23] okay, I'll be here to keep you posted lol [04:23] thanks crowell [04:23] great, no problem! [04:27] hm, no dice crowell. Same error. I am in the grub edit right now, and its listed correctly, exactly, in two places. [04:28] first is search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root (theUUIDishere) [04:29] Second is a couple lines down: Linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=UUID=(UUIDishere) ro quiet splas\h $vt_handoff [04:30] the splas\h etc is due to it cutting into a new line [04:32] I need to afk about 15 minutes or so myself, back shortly [04:58] back [04:58] sorry crowell that took a little longer than i expected [05:02] Dragostini: so you saved with the proper uuid and still didnt work? [05:03] Yeah :S [05:04] sorry, but I'm blanking here [05:05] I might just have to switch to another distro perhaps... [05:05] I know others worked, I just wanted to try Kubuntu [05:05] you can try another fresh install, maybe something errored? [05:05] tried that already before I came on here [05:06] yeah, sorry about that, I can't really think of another reason for it [05:06] 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 [05:07] Thanks for your help crowell I do appreciate your effort [05:08] np === soul is now known as Guest86855 [06:29] !netsplit [06:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[18:56] 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" [18:57] if it installs Moscherkobold is the activate option showing ? [18:58] no [18:58] also the amd watermark is not in the bottom right egde of my screen anymore [18:59] which AMD card is it ? [18:59] 78xx [19:00] 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" [19:03] and you activated it , with poor results ? [19:05] Moscherkobold. ^ [19:05] well my kwin effects does not work anymore, and i have noticed that the AMD watermark was suddenly gone [19:05] if i go into system settings [19:06] window effects [19:06] you rebooted after activation , i assume , Moscherkobold ? [19:06] BluesKaj: yes [19:06] there is a message OPENGL-compositing has caused a crash of Kwin [19:07] probably the reason was a faulty driver [19:07] (sorry I am translating the text by myself from german into english) [19:08] and the Qt graphics is setting is native or raster ? [19:08] opengl3.1 nativ [19:08] correction: and the Qt graphics setting is native or raster ? [19:09] try the raster setting [19:10] BluesKaj: something crashed and i was returned to the login screen after a few seconds [19:11] Moscherkobold. , open a terminal , sudo apt-get install dkms [19:12] BluesKaj: ok (was already installed) [19:13] ok [19:14] in the terminal , dkms status , what's the output ? [19:14] fglrx-updates, 13.101, 3.11.0-13-generic, x86_64: installed [19:16] ok , sudo apt-get install fglrx [19:19] 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 [19:23] Moscherkobold. is this an AGP or PCI card ? [19:24] or onboard? [19:27] Moscherkobold. are you sure the 78xx is AMD , I see references to nvidia 78xx in google === Steakanbake|slee is now known as Steakanbake [19:28] bonjour! [19:28] hi [19:29] BluesKaj: sry i have to write from my mobilephone now :) [19:29] pci-e card [19:29] yes sure amd [19:30] 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 [19:39] Moscherkobold. , try another update and upgrade , there may be a graphics update/fix in the repos . [19:42] BluesKaj: i have done some update upgrade reinstall flgrx in the recovery console and i can use my pc again :) [19:43] aha :) [19:43] Moscherkobold. good , glad to hear it :) [19:43] however the window effects are still not working and the amd watermark is also missing, so something is not ok with the driver :9 [19:44] i will try the second one from the additional driver window [19:50] BluesKaj: do you have any futher suggestion? [19:52] not sure , Moscherkobold , have you looked at the amd/ati site for a proprietary linux driver for the 78xx ? [19:53] BluesKaj: hmm no, good idea i will do that [19:53] =p [19:54] how to switch from xubuntu to kubuntu? [19:54] ovrflw0x: Install the kubuntu-desktop package. [19:55] then [19:55] ovrflw0x: After that follow this guide: [19:55] !purekde | ovrflw0x [19:55] 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 » [19:56] lordievader, i'm on 13.10 [19:57] 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] ovrflw0x: Probably hasn't changed much ;) [19:57] lordievader, what will happen to the infinality patch? [19:57] i've it installed [19:58] yeah the pure kde guide is usually out of date by a yr or so [19:58] ovrflw0x: Infinality patch? [19:58] yes [19:59] ovrflw0x: I have never heard of that patch, could you give some background/details? [19:59] infinality.net [19:59] BluesKaj: how to install the downloaded file? [20:00] Moscherkobold. what's the file extension ? [20:00] run [20:01] lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough? [20:01] for 13.10 [20:02] Moscherkobold, make that run file executable and do sh file.run [20:03] 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] Moscherkobold. , open a terminal in the folder where it's located , then, ./nameofdriverpackage.run [20:03] with sudo [20:05] lordievader, will installing kubuntu-desktop also change the xubuntu pic during the boot? [20:06] ovrflw0x: No idea ;). You can customize it though, if you want. [20:07] lordievader, do you like xfce or kde? [20:07] ovrflw0x: I have never really used xfce. [20:08] lordievader, is guide for pure 13.04 kubuntu good enough? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-kubuntu/ for 13.10 [20:10] 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. [20:15] 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? [20:16] ovrflw0x. not a good idea [20:16] ovrflw0x: It doesn't matter if you first install kubu-desktop and then remove xfce or the other way around. [20:16] k [20:20] BBL [20:23] BluesKaj: thank you now everything is working :) [20:23] just to know, was my graphic card driver autoupdated or something [20:37] Moscherkobold. good to hear :) === Doyle__ is now known as Doyle === janis is now known as Guest90563 === Guest90563 is now known as ss_haze [23:30] hi
