| capum321 | lubuntu doesn't boot anymore, i was working with adsl modem web interface, turned off, went back home with notebook on backpack. suddenly it enters Emergency Mode and ask to see log `journalctl -xb` which has 2500 lines of log, there is this red "unable to mount /home" but I am lost | 06:24 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: reboot, hold Shift, go to Advanced Options for Ubuntu, and boot into recovery mode | 06:27 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: then, go into a root console | 06:29 |
| capum321 | but it kind enter root console by alone itself? | 06:31 |
| capum321 | currently... | 06:31 |
| capum321 | i can see "root@hostname:" | 06:31 |
| capum321 | anyway, what next? | 06:33 |
| tsimonq2 | one sec | 06:33 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: run: mount -o remount,rw / | 06:35 |
| capum321 | all right! | 06:37 |
| capum321 | just it? | 06:37 |
| tsimonq2 | well now we need to look at a file | 06:38 |
| tsimonq2 | open /etc/fstab in nano and copy the line with /home here | 06:38 |
| tsimonq2 | letter for letter if possible :) | 06:39 |
| capum321 | i should enter live linux to access such file | 06:47 |
| capum321 | i would have to reboot | 06:47 |
| capum321 | could you wait? | 06:47 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: no, you can access it from here | 06:48 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: that's what recovery mode is for :) | 06:48 |
| capum321 | actually i am at dual boot (windoze box) | 06:49 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: that's fine then, boot into a live linux, Ubuntu-based (like Lubuntu) would be preferred :) | 06:51 |
| capum321 | i have made last week a system rescue cd live usb, i should use that since would be faste | 06:53 |
| capum321 | faster | 06:53 |
| tsimonq2 | capum321: well like I said, scratch Ubuntu, anything Debian OR Ubuntu-based is fine ;) | 06:54 |
| capum321 | you are right i have bad time with this because it is gentoo | 06:56 |
| capum321 | hello, some friends help me yesterday discovering why my linux won't boot: i have added a entry in fstab: "UUID=133A62F042D4E436 /media/user/label ntfs-3g auto,user,rw 0 0" - without quotes - I commented, when system went back which I am currently in. how could troubleshoot to allow it to mount on boot? | 15:15 |
| teward | capum321: 'discovering why my linux won't boot' is not helpful without what errors you were seeing, etc. | 15:28 |
| teward | if you added an entry into fstab for your NTFS partition, you probably need to comment it out | 15:28 |
| teward | and also make sure the mountpath and UUID exist | 15:28 |
| capum321 | teward you are unbearably amazing | 15:37 |
| capum321 | you see it was working before with this line at fstab | 15:50 |
| capum321 | suddenly, like so, it won't boot. i commented this line, thus it went back in | 15:51 |
| capum321 | the UUID i got from blkid | 15:51 |
| capum321 | the mount point exists | 15:51 |
| capum321 | i worked with windows and linux meanwhile before it stopped working | 15:52 |
| capum321 | ok here is output from "$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o auto,user,rw UUID=133A62F042D4E436 /media/user/label" http://dpaste.com/2NJ1TSY] | 15:56 |
| teward | capum321: did Windows go into hibernate at all? Or shut down incorrectly? | 16:05 |
| teward | because those errors are indicative of that being a potential problem | 16:05 |
| teward | boot to Windows, run a windows chkdisk on it, and shut down (turn off Fast Boot first) before trying to boot to Linux and then try and mount it in Linux | 16:06 |
| capum321 | turn off fast boot or hibernate? | 16:27 |
| capum321 | ok, fast boot, i will try thanks | 16:29 |
| teward | i was going to say both but i got busy | 16:42 |
| bzb | using lubuntu 16.04 with latest flashplayer from adobe. but cannot watch any videos on https://rutube.ru/ | 21:59 |
