=== Xard_ is now known as Xard [18:54] 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. [18:55] EoflaOE: did you press F1 to see the text its stuck on? [18:58] lotuspsychje: No. [18:58] you can switch to text boot at the dots with F1 [18:59] OK. I will reboot with pressing F1 to see the text. [19:00] Pressed F1, and it won't switch from the stuck Ubuntu logo to the text that it's stuck on. [19:02] the dots dont move anymore? [19:03] They are still moving [19:03] weird you cant switch text then [19:03] Yes, I can't switch. [19:04] Do I start Ubuntu again with nosplash? Or do something else? [19:04] you can try nomodeset sure [19:04] !nomodeset [19:04] 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] or "quiet splash" edit to "" for text boot [19:05] OK. I will reboot with these parameters. [19:06] But my Ubuntu boots to GRUB and then to Ubuntu so fast I can't get it to open the menu using Shift. [19:12] 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. [19:13] the magic of ubuntu :p [19:14] was that already on 5.2 kernel EoflaOE ? [19:14] Yes. On Linux 5.2, [19:14] By the way restored "quiet splash", and it booted normally. [19:15] lovely [19:16] 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. [19:17] ah breaking updates is indeed never a great happening [19:18] 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. [19:21] One question: Does Ubuntu have dark theme? [19:22] 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] EoflaOE: the dark theme i use on 18.04 is adwaita-dark [19:22] EoflaOE: install gnome-tweak-tool to easy manage themes [19:23] EoflaOE: dark theme - xubuntu does :) can not say about (u)buntu. [19:23] 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. [19:25] EoflaOE: Good to go :P [19:26] lotuspsychje: Thanks! I have set the theme to Yaru-dark. | Bashing-om: Thanks! [19:26] great EoflaOE [19:27] Thank you! Ubuntu is awesome on new machines. [19:27] EoflaOE: my favs packages at fresh install: sudo apt install preload haveged vlc gnome-tweak-tool qbittorrent [19:28] lotuspsychje: Nice. I know vlc, gnome-tweak-tool, and qbitorrent, but what is "preload" and "haveged"? [19:30] !info preload [19:30] 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] !info haveged [19:30] 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] EoflaOE: both for faster/smoother experience [19:31] 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) [19:33] nite [19:33] Good night.
