| gijoe3k | Hello there. Quick question, just got a fresh install of Xubuntu 19.10. Did a Apt update...all the other repos updated fine except this one: | 16:30 |
| gijoe3k | Err:1 http://mirrors.xtom.com/ubuntu eoan InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?) | 16:30 |
| gijoe3k | Any direction or ideas on how to get rid of it? | 16:31 |
| linuxr | hi all..So I just installed xubuntu-18.04 within a KVM VM using virt-manager, so far so good. But upon first boot of the VM after installation I only get a black screen, and VM seems to use 100% cpu but no visible output...how can I diagnose what's going on? thanks | 18:23 |
| brainwash | linuxr: are you able to switch to a TTY? | 18:24 |
| linuxr | brainwash, nope | 18:25 |
| linuxr | also, vm cpu indication is constant @maximum utilization | 18:26 |
| linuxr | installation went without problems though | 18:26 |
| brainwash | I would try to directly boot to TTY, hence omitting the display manager (lightdm) | 18:27 |
| brainwash | via kernel boot parameter | 18:27 |
| brainwash | assuming that lightdm is the problem | 18:28 |
| linuxr | brainwash, how can I get to the boot menu? | 18:28 |
| brainwash | grub boot menu | 18:29 |
| linuxr | screen is just black | 18:29 |
| brainwash | I think you hold the Shift key during boot up | 18:29 |
| linuxr | okay, so how could I boot to tty? | 18:30 |
| brainwash | systemd.unit=multi-user.target | 18:31 |
| brainwash | add this to the kernel line | 18:31 |
| brainwash | or you could boot into rescue mode and do changes via systemctl | 18:31 |
| brainwash | also check logs etc. | 18:32 |
| linuxr | okay, I'm now in a recovery menu (filesystem RO) | 18:33 |
| brainwash | you'll have remount as rw | 18:34 |
| brainwash | have to | 18:34 |
| brainwash | lightdm logs should be under /var/logs/lightdm | 18:35 |
| linuxr | I tried "resume normal boot" which now dropped me into a OK-looking desktop...wtf? | 18:35 |
| brainwash | oh great :) | 18:36 |
| brainwash | looks like you should have first checked if a second boot is fine or not | 18:37 |
| linuxr | no, it only works when going via recovery-bootmode | 18:37 |
| linuxr | I can't boot the VM normally | 18:37 |
| linuxr | but why? | 18:37 |
| linuxr | also, the VM seems quite slow | 18:38 |
| brainwash | sadly, I'm not a vm expert | 18:39 |
| brainwash | and it's not clear if this issue is specific to xubuntu or ubuntu at all | 18:40 |
| brainwash | you can compare log files of good and bad boot | 18:40 |
| linuxr | I have other vm's like debian which work flawlessly | 18:41 |
| linuxr | journalctl -b -1 shows nothing suspicious | 18:41 |
| brainwash | and /var/log/lightdm ? | 18:42 |
| brainwash | I think it stores previous logs too | 18:43 |
| brainwash | do you see the boot splash (xubuntu logo)? | 18:43 |
| linuxr | no, I have configured direct login | 18:47 |
| linuxr | just rebooted, doesnt work..damnit | 18:47 |
| brainwash | :/ | 18:51 |
| linuxr | oh wow, when I change kvm video mode to vga, it boots normally..but 640x480 | 18:51 |
| linuxr | so..probably some video issue..but just..why (its a VM and host video is fine) | 18:51 |
| brainwash | at least a hint | 18:52 |
| brainwash | something that could be googled | 18:52 |
