| daxm | hello everyone! I *just* installed Mate on an RPI3. It is VERY surprisingly quick! Alas, I have encountered what I would consider a problem. (I'm probably just doing it wrong though.) When I use the updater tool I get an error that I don't have enough room in my /boot partition and then updater tool basically closes. | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| daxm | The /boot partition is only configured to have 64MB of space it appears. Any way to increase that on the fly or possibly during the installation (I don't mind re-installing at this point). | 00:26 |

| onio | HI having problem with my laptop not booting up. I am not getting to the log in screen. I am running Ubuntu mate 16.04 | 18:27 |
| onio | I have clonezilla which I can use to get to a command line | 18:28 |
| diogenes_ | onio, more details? you trying to install? or how it happened after an update? | 18:31 |
| onio | No I was not installing or updating anything. | 18:32 |
| diogenes_ | ok how long do you have the system for? | 18:32 |
| onio | diogenes_s: A few years, but I have not been using lately | 18:33 |
| diogenes_ | when last time you used it? | 18:33 |
| onio | diogenes_: About 3 days ago | 18:34 |
| diogenes_ | and i booted fine? | 18:34 |
| diogenes_ | it* | 18:34 |
| * diogenes_ is away | 18:36 | |
| onio | diogenes_: the battery has been playing up for sometimes, and intermintently can take some power on/power off to get it starting | 18:36 |
| alkisg | onio: what's the last message that you see when it boots? | 18:46 |
| onio | alkisg: Hi one second I am try to video as it scrolls through the screen very quick | 18:47 |
| alkisg | What happens at the end? black screen? | 18:47 |
| alkisg | reboot? | 18:47 |
| onio | Nothings | 18:48 |
| alkisg | You don't have a computer at the end? | 18:48 |
| alkisg | Nothing? | 18:48 |
| onio | just stays black with a cursor on the top left corner | 18:49 |
| onio | blinking | 18:49 |
| alkisg | Ah, black, this is information :) | 18:49 |
| alkisg | And if you type alt+ctrl+f2 there, do you see a login prompt? | 18:49 |
| onio | nothing happens I try already | 18:49 |
| alkisg | OK, what if you reboot and select "recovery" in grub? | 18:49 |
| alkisg | Does that give you a menu with various recovery options? | 18:50 |
| onio | I am not sure how to do that as I don't get to the grub screen | 18:50 |
| alkisg | Hold down left shift while it boots to see grub | 18:50 |
| onio | okay give it a try one second | 18:51 |
| onio | alkisg: no grub screen, The speaker beeped a high pitch sound and the kernel boot message scrolled on the screen and returned to the black screen with cursor on top left | 18:53 |
| alkisg | How much ram does your computer have? | 18:54 |
| onio | 8GB | 18:54 |
| alkisg | OK that's enough to test the installation in a vm... | 18:55 |
| alkisg | but gotta go now, be back in 30' | 18:55 |
| onio | last to kernel boot messages as follows: | 18:55 |
| onio | Show Plymouth Boot Screen | 18:55 |
| onio | QEMU KVM module loading scripts | 18:55 |
| alkisg | if you want, boot from the mate live cd to test the hdinstallation with kvm | 18:59 |
| onio | I have to go download that. I only have access to clonezilla for now | 19:00 |
| alkisg | does it allow you to run kvm -m 1024 /dev/sda ? | 19:10 |
| onio | alkisg: not sure. I have not tried it | 19:11 |
| onio | there is a /usr/bin/kvm on the system but when I try to run "kvm -m 1024 /dev/sda" I get No such file or directory | 19:24 |
| alkisg | Is your disk sda? | 19:24 |
| onio | ys | 19:24 |
| onio | yes | 19:24 |
| alkisg | Anyway here's some info on how to get the grub menu https://askubuntu.com/questions/668049/grub-menu-at-boot-time-holding-shift-not-working | 19:25 |
| onio | I can mount the sda1 partition where I have my linux system | 19:25 |
| alkisg | You can also do the steps from the clonezilla cd if shift and esc don't work | 19:25 |
| onio | with clonezilla I can get to the command prompt and then mount my linux partition sda1 | 19:26 |
| onio | alkisg: it looks like the example in the link is assuming that one as a running system where they can change grub file and then do update-grub | 19:28 |
| onio | I can probably change the grub file by booting with clonezilla and editing the file but I am not sure if that would help | 19:29 |
| alkisg | onio: is clonezilla ubuntu-based? | 19:47 |
| alkisg | Ah it's either debian or ubuntu, it's fine | 19:47 |
| onio | it might be because I can issue command like "sudo su" to get root access | 19:47 |
| alkisg | does this return anything ? egrep -i '^flags.*(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo | 19:49 |
| onio | It does not get to the place where is loads /proc this is psuedo directory | 19:49 |
| alkisg | I mean from the live cd | 19:50 |
| alkisg | This will show if your pc supports kvm | 19:50 |
| onio | I finished downloading the live cd but can't find cd to burn to | 19:51 |
| alkisg | You can run that command on the clonezilla live cd as well | 20:05 |
| onio | alkisg: I have been able to get ubuntu mate 16.04 on cd and used it to boot the system | 20:22 |
| alkisg | onio: cool. I need to live in a few minutes, but I can help you with vnc if you like, it's a way to share your screen like with teamviewer. Do you want me to? | 20:23 |
| alkisg | *leave | 20:23 |
| onio | sure | 20:24 |
| alkisg | ok run this, sudo -i; apt update; apt --yes install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr | 20:26 |
| alkisg | Press enter instead of ; | 20:26 |
| onio | would this be on the faulty machine? | 20:27 |
| alkisg | Yes, while booted from a live cd | 20:27 |
| onio | okay | 20:28 |
| onio | sorry, I misread your post. so it ";" should be <CR> right | 20:31 |
| alkisg | yes | 20:31 |
| alkisg | i.e. 4 commands, 4 lines | 20:32 |
| onio | I was typing everything as written | 20:32 |
| onio | silly me | 20:32 |
| onio | all done | 20:36 |
| alkisg | I didn't receive the connection, do you see any errors? | 20:36 |
| alkisg | x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr | 20:37 |
| danny__ | hello my friends | 20:37 |
| onio | ***unrecognized options(s) *** | 20:37 |
| onio | [1] connect | 20:37 |
| onio | [2] srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr | 20:37 |
| alkisg | Hello | 20:37 |
| alkisg | onio, you missed the - | 20:37 |
| alkisg | It's -connect | 20:37 |
| danny__ | what is for supper | 20:38 |
| onio | oh men super cool :) | 20:38 |
| danny__ | gotta go, bye. | 20:39 |
| alkisg | onio: you rebooted while apt was installing | 20:42 |
| alkisg | Either you were running apt, or unattended upgrades | 20:42 |
| alkisg | I think it'll be ok after the updates... | 20:42 |
| onio | ah | 20:43 |
| alkisg | See how fast vnc is, compared to irc :D | 20:43 |
| onio | please teach me how to learn this stuff man | 20:43 |
| onio | how did the vnc connect to you? | 20:44 |
| alkisg | I have a vnc server listening for incoming connections, to help schools | 20:44 |
| alkisg | Google for "reverse connect vnc" to read the theory | 20:44 |
| onio | Thanks man. I am fully amazed by this. I am new to all this | 20:45 |
| onio | whao "you are the man" | 20:45 |
| gerge | Hi, a weird bug with Tilda with 18.04. While it is listed in "Startup Applications", it does not start. | 20:46 |
| gerge | I need to manually launch it every season. | 20:46 |
| gerge | All other apps in Startup works as they should, only Tilda. | 20:47 |
| alkisg | gerge: do you have ~/.config/autostart/tilda.desktop? | 20:47 |
| onio | alkisg: Does this mean that people don't really need to use teamviewer for remote desktop connection | 20:47 |
| gerge | yes | 20:48 |
| alkisg | onio: my side needs an external ip + port forwarding; other than that yeah I don't need teamviewer | 20:48 |
| alkisg | gerge: can you pastebin it? | 20:48 |
| gerge | https://hastebin.com/gepobujevi.ini | 20:49 |
| gerge | Pastebin is banned in Turkey since it hosts some provate emails of government officials | 20:49 |
| gerge | weird, yeah | 20:49 |
| alkisg | Hehe... greetings from Greece | 20:49 |
| gerge | Everything about Tilda is as it should be, there is no logs or anything. | 20:50 |
| alkisg | What's the output of `gsettings list-recursively | grep tilda | nc termbin.com 9999` | 20:50 |
| gerge | It just doesn't start, system ignores it completely. | 20:50 |
| gerge | empty | 20:50 |
| gerge | this is a clean install by the way | 20:51 |
| gerge | did minimal install | 20:51 |
| * alkisg is always removing tilda so can't check locally... | 20:51 | |
| alkisg | onio: it should boot now | 20:53 |
| alkisg | Reboot, and then you can continue the update from there | 20:53 |
| onio | okay thanks | 20:53 |
| alkisg | np | 20:53 |
| onio | alkisg: in a nutshell is it possible to summarise what you did should I get this problem in the future. So I don't have to disturb you guys about the same issue | 20:55 |
| alkisg | onio: i booted your disk in a virtual machine, pressed esc to get to grub, got a root shell in the emergency console, and finished the dpkg --configure -a which was cut in half | 20:59 |
| alkisg | It's still not finished, as some programs didn't like the recovery console, but it should boot now, and you should be able to continue it normally | 21:00 |
| onio | I would save this log like my life depends on it :) | 21:00 |
| onio | the booting of the machine in the virtual machine is that what you were using the kvm for? | 21:01 |
| alkisg | yes | 21:02 |
| onio | I was surprised that one can install stuff on the machine when booting with live cd. I thought you had to install the operating system before installing other stuff. Just to mention the pc has reboot and it looks like it is back to normal | 21:04 |
| alkisg | Cool. Good night from me, and remember to finish the apt updating | 21:05 |
| onio | okay would do. Thank you for your time. | 21:06 |
| sk1mm1lk | me too | 21:08 |
| yuqi | hi =) | 21:36 |
