[01:33] just installed 14.04, getting an error. [01:33] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [02:02] sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf [02:02] fixed it [06:36] hi, I have a problem with the 14.04 ubuntustudio 64bit iso. When I try to boot from it, it ends up in an error "initramfs" no live file system found. I already downloaded the iso twice, once direct, once via torrent. I use the exact same settings to run Xubuntu and it works like a charm, so I rule out problems with the system settings. Are there known prolem with ubuntu studio on uefi systems? === ken is now known as Guest78708 [15:05] jhenke: I am sorry but I personally have had no problems. So long as you can see the boot screen you "should" be good. [15:08] OvenWerk1 thanks for the reply, but it does not reall help me, could it be that the image is not including some kernel modules other flavours do? [15:08] My mother board allows me to boot the ISO as either efi or bios style... whichever way you boot is the way it will install. [15:08] That part is not really any different. [15:08] I tried to run in Hyper-V, which works with Ubuntu and Xubuntu images [15:08] but not with with UbuntuStudio [15:09] The only difference between the two is that the kernel has one setting changed [15:09] which one? [15:10] Our ISO is based on xubuntu [15:10] preempt [15:10] I know, that's why I find it strange that it does not work [15:11] I did purposely not install the efi on this computer, but I did on my sons... but then his is kubuntu too. [15:12] Give me a minute and I will boot efi on this machine. [15:12] okay [15:15] Ok, I am now running in the live session booted from the uefi boot [15:15] So I am assuming you got to the grub screen anyway. [15:15] hmm okay that narrows it down to a possible problem with the hypervisor [15:15] yes I get the selection for live session or installing [15:16] but either choice leads to the mentioned (initramfs): no live file system found problem [15:16] Personally I always choose live session even when installing [15:16] So I am no help then. [15:17] The other way of putting studio on is to install xubuntu and install ubuntustudio-installer and go from there [15:20] not really a solution, if possible I would like to make it work, also for others that are trying the same thing [15:20] Makes good sense [15:21] I am somehow tempted to think some required kernel module is missing in the studio image [15:22] for this use case [15:22] Are using a real DVD? or a memstick? [15:23] * OvenWerk1 hasn't made a dvd for ages [15:23] as it is a VM, I boot straight off the iso file [15:24] OK. I haven't tried any of those. [15:24] but I made sure the file is not damged, downloaded it again via torrent after the prolbem appeared [15:24] Checking the md5sum should be enough [15:25] well the torent did that [15:26] Ya, I use zsync for the same reason [15:26] I rule out file corrpution for that reason [15:29] So grub boots, then starts the kernel running, and the kernel then mounts the ISO and grabs the initramfs and mounts it as a memdrive. It sounds like the kernel is looking for the ISO image in the wrong place. [15:30] or it cannot access the image for some reasons [15:30] Ya [15:34] I am sorry but you are out of my knowlage area. You need someone with better vm understanding. [15:34] which comes back to my original idea, is studio including all kernel modules the other falvours do? [15:35] As far as I know yes, even the non-free stuff like vnidia. zequence would be the person to ask though. as he does that kernel. [15:36] (can't spell right... nvidia) [15:37] I don't think it is the kernel, I think it may be the way that grub creates the commandline. [15:37] okay, I am just needing the hyper-v modules [15:37] well it is strange that I do see the boot screen (plymoth) but then end up in the error [15:38] so I do not even have a terminal to check dmesg [15:38] plymouth is not loaded till after the initramfs as far as I know. [15:39] I think it is on that filesystem [15:39] I did see the studio image though, but could also be that my memory playes tricks and it was before grub [15:40] As soon as you see that screen you should be able to hit esc and bump out of plymouth to consol [15:41] When I booted efi I had no image at all before grubs boot screen [15:41] When I boot non-efi there is a boot image, but that is not grb. [15:42] UEFI is a bit special in the grpahics I know [15:43] non-efi uses syslinux to start. [15:43] I just try it again [15:44] okay so I am in grub [15:44] Have you tried starting with nomodesset? ( [15:44] trying live session now [15:44] F6 I think [15:45] Well I don't know on the efi grub [15:45] okay long balck screen now the studio boot logo [15:46] takes a long time [15:46] I was going to say that was normal, but I am used to starting from a slow memstick [15:47] How much memory do you assign to the VM session? [15:50] If you have got the studio spinning logo then I don't think nomodeset will help. [15:50] intially, just now 512MB yesterday 1024MB, but it should be able to allocate up to 4GB [15:51] the VM has balloning, i.e. the vm can get more memory from the host on request [15:51] I am just guessing in the dark :) [15:53] I am getting this: https://www.taujhe.de/images/UbuntuStudio_error.png [15:55] and it takes unusally long until it get's there [15:55] So initramfs in loading fine, then tries to mount the filesystem in memory and that appears to fail so when it looks for it to swroot, it is not there. [15:56] I am also not getting any console there [15:56] it seems completely locked [15:56] CTRL+ALT+Fx does not bring any luck :( [15:57] In the old days that would be a kernel panic. [15:57] sadly I cannot access the kernel log either... :( [15:59] As soon as the spinning logo shows, if you hit esc you should get logging to screen. [15:59] It may not be very informative logging :( but some. [15:59] I think that did not work, but I try again [16:00] does not work [16:00] does VM allow you to examine the running system from outside at all? Like look at what it has mounted or mountable? [16:01] no, I really get the feeling that the Hyper-V kernel modules are not laoded [16:01] (which includes the lack of keyboard input, as you need a kernel module for that under UEFI) [16:02] you are using 3.13 for trusty, right?

[16:10] OvenWerk1 okay, thanks for your answers [16:10] sorry they were not more helpful [16:10] and your time, have fun with the musci tommorw [16:11] don't worry I know it is a specific problem [16:12] maybe somebody else here has an idea, I keep ideling here, so any ideas are appreciated === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [21:12] Hi folks [21:53] is this a musicians room? [21:55] No idea, I'm a musician at least.
