[00:25] 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. [00:26] 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). === Nathan is now known as kernal [01:04] gbfsdgsgfgfsdcbvvxxxxxxxxdffffgvxvbvv [01:05] you're drunk raw_, go home [01:06] opps Im new to this didn't realize I was typing ha === bianca is now known as Guest1807 [11:54] what to do after you install ubuntu mate? :D [13:14] hey :D === Menzie is now known as Menzador [16:29] guten Abend [16:30] ich benötige mal Hilfe [16:31] !de | dirk_ [16:31] dirk_: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[18:27] 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 [18:28] I have clonezilla which I can use to get to a command line [18:31] onio, more details? you trying to install? or how it happened after an update? [18:32] No I was not installing or updating anything. [18:32] ok how long do you have the system for? [18:33] diogenes_s: A few years, but I have not been using lately [18:33] when last time you used it? [18:34] diogenes_: About 3 days ago [18:34] and i booted fine? [18:34] it* [18:36] * diogenes_ is away [18:36] diogenes_: the battery has been playing up for sometimes, and intermintently can take some power on/power off to get it starting [18:46] onio: what's the last message that you see when it boots? [18:47] alkisg: Hi one second I am try to video as it scrolls through the screen very quick [18:47] What happens at the end? black screen? [18:47] reboot? [18:48] Nothings [18:48] You don't have a computer at the end? [18:48] Nothing? [18:49] just stays black with a cursor on the top left corner [18:49] blinking [18:49] Ah, black, this is information :) [18:49] And if you type alt+ctrl+f2 there, do you see a login prompt? [18:49] nothing happens I try already [18:49] OK, what if you reboot and select "recovery" in grub? [18:50] Does that give you a menu with various recovery options? [18:50] I am not sure how to do that as I don't get to the grub screen [18:50] Hold down left shift while it boots to see grub [18:51] okay give it a try one second [18:53] 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 [18:54] How much ram does your computer have? [18:54] 8GB [18:55] OK that's enough to test the installation in a vm... [18:55] but gotta go now, be back in 30' [18:55] last to kernel boot messages as follows: [18:55] Show Plymouth Boot Screen [18:55] QEMU KVM module loading scripts [18:59] if you want, boot from the mate live cd to test the hdinstallation with kvm [19:00] I have to go download that. I only have access to clonezilla for now [19:10] does it allow you to run kvm -m 1024 /dev/sda ? [19:11] alkisg: not sure. I have not tried it [19:24] 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] Is your disk sda? [19:24] ys [19:24] yes [19:25] 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] I can mount the sda1 partition where I have my linux system [19:25] You can also do the steps from the clonezilla cd if shift and esc don't work [19:26] with clonezilla I can get to the command prompt and then mount my linux partition sda1 [19:28] 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 [19:29] I can probably change the grub file by booting with clonezilla and editing the file but I am not sure if that would help [19:47] onio: is clonezilla ubuntu-based? [19:47] Ah it's either debian or ubuntu, it's fine [19:47] it might be because I can issue command like "sudo su" to get root access [19:49] does this return anything ? egrep -i '^flags.*(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo [19:49] It does not get to the place where is loads /proc this is psuedo directory [19:50] I mean from the live cd [19:50] This will show if your pc supports kvm [19:51] I finished downloading the live cd but can't find cd to burn to [20:05] You can run that command on the clonezilla live cd as well [20:22] alkisg: I have been able to get ubuntu mate 16.04 on cd and used it to boot the system [20:23] 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] *leave [20:24] sure [20:26] ok run this, sudo -i; apt update; apt --yes install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr [20:26] Press enter instead of ; [20:27] would this be on the faulty machine? [20:27] Yes, while booted from a live cd [20:28] okay [20:31] sorry, I misread your post. so it ";" should be right [20:31] yes [20:32] i.e. 4 commands, 4 lines [20:32] I was typing everything as written [20:32] silly me [20:36] all done [20:36] I didn't receive the connection, do you see any errors? [20:37] x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr [20:37] hello my friends [20:37] ***unrecognized options(s) *** [20:37] [1] connect [20:37] [2] srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr [20:37] Hello [20:37] onio, you missed the - [20:37] It's -connect [20:38] what is for supper [20:38] oh men super cool :) [20:39] gotta go, bye. [20:42] onio: you rebooted while apt was installing [20:42] Either you were running apt, or unattended upgrades [20:42] I think it'll be ok after the updates... [20:43] ah [20:43] See how fast vnc is, compared to irc :D [20:43] please teach me how to learn this stuff man [20:44] how did the vnc connect to you? [20:44] I have a vnc server listening for incoming connections, to help schools [20:44] Google for "reverse connect vnc" to read the theory [20:45] Thanks man. I am fully amazed by this. I am new to all this [20:45] whao "you are the man" [20:46] Hi, a weird bug with Tilda with 18.04. While it is listed in "Startup Applications", it does not start. [20:46] I need to manually launch it every season. [20:47] All other apps in Startup works as they should, only Tilda. [20:47] gerge: do you have ~/.config/autostart/tilda.desktop? [20:47] alkisg: Does this mean that people don't really need to use teamviewer for remote desktop connection [20:48] yes [20:48] onio: my side needs an external ip + port forwarding; other than that yeah I don't need teamviewer [20:48] gerge: can you pastebin it? [20:49] https://hastebin.com/gepobujevi.ini [20:49] Pastebin is banned in Turkey since it hosts some provate emails of government officials [20:49] weird, yeah [20:49] Hehe... greetings from Greece [20:50] Everything about Tilda is as it should be, there is no logs or anything. [20:50] What's the output of `gsettings list-recursively | grep tilda | nc termbin.com 9999` [20:50] It just doesn't start, system ignores it completely. [20:50] empty [20:51] this is a clean install by the way [20:51] did minimal install [20:51] * alkisg is always removing tilda so can't check locally... [20:53] onio: it should boot now [20:53] Reboot, and then you can continue the update from there [20:53] okay thanks [20:53] np [20:55] 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 [20:59] 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 [21:00] 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] I would save this log like my life depends on it :) [21:01] the booting of the machine in the virtual machine is that what you were using the kvm for? [21:02] yes [21:04] 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 [21:05] Cool. Good night from me, and remember to finish the apt updating [21:06] okay would do. Thank you for your time. [21:08] me too [21:36] hi =) [22:37] buonasera, salve a Tutti ho un problemaall'avvio di mate (nel grub) ho il monitore che sfarfalla, poi tutto ok. da che Dipende [22:40] scusate scrivo male il global warming [22:40] :) [22:42] FortNhyver: Salve! Di solito si parla in inglese qui. [22:42] ah pardon [22:45] goodevening, i have a problem: the monitor in grub flicker (to the start) then all ok, how to resolve this problem? [22:47] ok, goodbye
