| lubotu3 | zmoylan-pi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ | 10:19 |
| SuperEngineer | please wait for next year | 10:19 |
| SuperEngineer | next year may not be online right now | 10:19 |
| SuperEngineer | :D | 10:19 |

| zleap | just a question on ubuntu not being able to boot, it stops when loading user manager | 14:33 |
| zleap | as the system is dual boot I can view the file system ubuntu is installed to from my mint install, what should i look for on the ubuntu file system to try and narrow down (or for people to help me do that) what the issue may be ? | 14:33 |
| penguin42 | hmm what's 'user manager' | 14:34 |
| zleap | when booting ubuntu, i can press esc and get messages during boot | 14:35 |
| zleap | however when it gets to user manager for pid 120 the system just hangs | 14:35 |
| zleap | oddly the live cd works fine, it is just post install it has failed | 14:35 |
| zleap | i can also boot fine with recovery mode | 14:35 |
| * penguin42 isn't sure what 'user manager' is | 14:36 | |
| zleap | neither am i | 14:36 |
| zleap | i am just trying to copy the message i get | 14:37 |
| zleap | however there 'has' to be a log of this somewhere on the file system it is a case of finding that then copying the info to pastebin or somewhere to help | 14:37 |
| Guest32919 | Hi guys. Just installed ubuntu 18.04 and find that image scan for linux is not identifying my epson printer anymore. It worked fine on earlier versions of ubuntu. Did a bit of googling but no much help. it says sane change has brken soem thrid party scanner drivers on launchpad. Can some one guide me in the right directions. thanks | 14:39 |
| Guest32919 | zleap, | 14:39 |
| penguin42 | zleap: If you can boot into recovery you can try journalctl -b-1 to get the log of messages from the last boot | 14:39 |
| zleap | thanks | 14:40 |
| zleap | is there anything specific i should be lookinng for int eh log | 14:43 |
| penguin42 | the thing that made it break :-) | 14:43 |
| zleap | ok | 14:43 |
| zleap | i will give that a go, brb | 14:45 |
| Nokaji | That's a point, my 16.04 hasn't performed any upgrade to 18.04 - I guess it is in my settings, somewhere | 14:50 |
| Nokaji | I have selected: Notify me of a new ubuntu version "for long term support versions" | 14:52 |
| penguin42 | yeh but they don't normally enable lts upgrades until a bit later for stuff to shake out | 14:56 |
| Nokaji | Ah, okay ... it's not just me then | 15:07 |
| Nokaji | maybe I can/should wait, then ... hopefully not too long though | 15:07 |

| zleap | ok back, i decided to re install 18.04 and still get the same error | 17:32 |
| zleap | started session c1 of user gdm | 17:32 |
| zleap | started user manager for uid 120 | 17:32 |
| zleap | after which system stops repondingm but I can reboot with ctrl-alt-sysrq RSEIUB | 17:33 |
| zleap | so there may be some kernel magic I can use to do something other than reboot the system | 17:33 |
| penguin42 | zleap: Can you ctrl-alt-f2/f3 at that point to get a text console ? | 17:39 |
| zleap | i will try later, i need to reboot for that | 17:43 |
| zleap | i am sure I ahve tried and it failed but if I manage that, i will see if I can log in | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | zleap: My guess would be that it's a graphics driver choking when it tries to start up the graphics | 17:45 |
| zleap | so why do I get a live session ok | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | yeh, good question | 17:45 |
| zleap | ill grab a netbook and instal on there, it will be slow but just to figure out if there is an issue with the install media | 17:46 |
| zleap | is there a list of key bindings similar to ctrl-alt-sysrq RSEIUB | 17:47 |
| zleap | not sure exactly what to search for for that | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | not sure; there's two separate things there | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | the alt-sysrq stuff is documented somewhere, but that's quite separate to the virtual console switching | 17:48 |
| zleap | yeah but if there is a sysrq thing to release the keyboard it may then allow me to use alt-f2 etc if it doesn't work initially | 17:48 |
| penguin42 | note ctrl-alt-f2 or try f3) - you shouldn't need any other keys for that unless it's very very hung | 17:49 |
| zleap | yeah | 17:50 |
| zleap | https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-enable-all-sysrq-functions-on-linux#h6-the-sysrq-magic-key | 17:52 |
| zleap | no idea what that page is doing, trying to print it and it says it can't print as it page still loading | 17:54 |
| zleap | i want to just print to pdf for reference | 17:54 |
| zleap | ok i need to do some reading in | 18:00 |
| zleap | https://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sysrq.txt | 18:00 |
| zleap | to figure out what i am doing with alt-sysrq, as a few things are not enabled | 18:00 |
| zleap | i am guessing having 256 in there enables everything | 18:00 |
| penguin42 | zleap: it takes a special value of '1' to enable everything | 18:01 |
| zleap | ah ok | 18:01 |
| zleap | right now it is 176 so 128+32+16 debugging dumps, sync reboot power off | 18:02 |
| zleap | so if I edit https://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sysrq.txt and use 1 is that safe / recommended | 18:02 |
| zleap | penguin42: got documentation printed off, so some light reading for later :D | 18:08 |
| zleap | back shortly | 18:09 |
