| EoflaOE | I have installed Ubuntu 19.10 on VirtualBox after setting necessary settings. Everytime I boot to Ubuntu, it is stuck with the moving dots, but if I made it show messages by arrow keys, it boots instantly to the log-in screen. | 18:54 |
|---|---|---|
| lotuspsychje | EoflaOE: did you press F1 to see the text its stuck on? | 18:55 |
| EoflaOE | lotuspsychje: No. | 18:58 |
| lotuspsychje | you can switch to text boot at the dots with F1 | 18:58 |
| EoflaOE | OK. I will reboot with pressing F1 to see the text. | 18:59 |
| EoflaOE | Pressed F1, and it won't switch from the stuck Ubuntu logo to the text that it's stuck on. | 19:00 |
| lotuspsychje | the dots dont move anymore? | 19:02 |
| EoflaOE | They are still moving | 19:03 |
| lotuspsychje | weird you cant switch text then | 19:03 |
| EoflaOE | Yes, I can't switch. | 19:03 |
| EoflaOE | Do I start Ubuntu again with nosplash? Or do something else? | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | you can try nomodeset sure | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | !nomodeset | 19:04 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:04 |
| lotuspsychje | or "quiet splash" edit to "" for text boot | 19:04 |
| EoflaOE | OK. I will reboot with these parameters. | 19:05 |
| EoflaOE | But my Ubuntu boots to GRUB and then to Ubuntu so fast I can't get it to open the menu using Shift. | 19:06 |
| EoflaOE | Finally managed to edit /etc/default/grub to remove "quiet splash" parameters, and updated GRUB, but when I reboot, it shows messages and it boots normally. Verified with the second restart, and it again booted. | 19:12 |
| lotuspsychje | the magic of ubuntu :p | 19:13 |
| lotuspsychje | was that already on 5.2 kernel EoflaOE ? | 19:14 |
| EoflaOE | Yes. On Linux 5.2, | 19:14 |
| EoflaOE | By the way restored "quiet splash", and it booted normally. | 19:14 |
| lotuspsychje | lovely | 19:15 |
| EoflaOE | Thanks so much! By the way before this problem occurred, when downloading updates for packages, an electrical outage caused Ubuntu to boot this weird way. | 19:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ah breaking updates is indeed never a great happening | 19:17 |
| EoflaOE | It's at the "downloading" stage at the event of the outage, the stage where "apt" should get all the files from the Internet (Ubuntu repo) before installing all. | 19:18 |
| EoflaOE | One question: Does Ubuntu have dark theme? | 19:21 |
| Bashing-om | EoflaOE: No fun ^^ ! Did you clean up and clear the cache - update and ' sudo apt -f install ;sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo dpkg -C ' to make sure all is good now ? | 19:22 |
| lotuspsychje | EoflaOE: the dark theme i use on 18.04 is adwaita-dark | 19:22 |
| lotuspsychje | EoflaOE: install gnome-tweak-tool to easy manage themes | 19:22 |
| Bashing-om | EoflaOE: dark theme - xubuntu does :) can not say about (u)buntu. | 19:23 |
| EoflaOE | Bashing-om: The apt -f install one did not do anything (it is all good; no interrupted install), and the two commands returned nothing (also good) | lotuspsychje: Will install that tweak tool. | 19:23 |
| Bashing-om | EoflaOE: Good to go :P | 19:25 |
| EoflaOE | lotuspsychje: Thanks! I have set the theme to Yaru-dark. | Bashing-om: Thanks! | 19:26 |
| lotuspsychje | great EoflaOE | 19:26 |
| EoflaOE | Thank you! Ubuntu is awesome on new machines. | 19:27 |
| lotuspsychje | EoflaOE: my favs packages at fresh install: sudo apt install preload haveged vlc gnome-tweak-tool qbittorrent | 19:27 |
| EoflaOE | lotuspsychje: Nice. I know vlc, gnome-tweak-tool, and qbitorrent, but what is "preload" and "haveged"? | 19:28 |
| lotuspsychje | !info preload | 19:30 |
| ubottu | preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2build1 (eoan), package size 33 kB, installed size 102 kB | 19:30 |
| lotuspsychje | !info haveged | 19:30 |
| ubottu | haveged (source: haveged): Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.9.1-6ubuntu1 (eoan), package size 27 kB, installed size 72 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 19:30 |
| lotuspsychje | EoflaOE: both for faster/smoother experience | 19:30 |
| EoflaOE | lotuspsychje: Thanks. Will consider installing them tomorrow. I have to go to rest then sleep, because it's night on my timezone (UTC+02:00, 10:31 PM) | 19:31 |
| lotuspsychje | nite | 19:33 |
| EoflaOE | Good night. | 19:33 |
