[16:30] <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?)
[16:31] <gijoe3k> Any direction or ideas on how to get rid of it?
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <brainwash> linuxr: are you able to switch to a TTY?
[18:25] <linuxr> brainwash, nope
[18:26] <linuxr> also, vm cpu indication is constant @maximum utilization
[18:26] <linuxr> installation went without problems though
[18:27] <brainwash> I would try to directly boot to TTY, hence omitting the display manager (lightdm)
[18:27] <brainwash> via kernel boot parameter
[18:28] <brainwash> assuming that lightdm is the problem
[18:28] <linuxr> brainwash, how can I get to the boot menu?
[18:29] <brainwash> grub boot menu
[18:29] <linuxr> screen is just black
[18:29] <brainwash> I think you hold the Shift key during boot up
[18:30] <linuxr> okay, so how could I boot to tty?
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <brainwash> also check logs etc.
[18:33] <linuxr> okay, I'm now in a recovery menu (filesystem RO)
[18:34] <brainwash> you'll have remount as rw
[18:34] <brainwash> have to
[18:35] <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?
[18:36] <brainwash> oh great :)
[18:37] <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?
[18:38] <linuxr> also, the VM seems quite slow
[18:39] <brainwash> sadly, I'm not a vm expert
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <linuxr> I have other vm's like debian which work flawlessly
[18:41] <linuxr> journalctl -b -1 shows nothing suspicious
[18:42] <brainwash> and /var/log/lightdm ?
[18:43] <brainwash> I think it stores previous logs too
[18:43] <brainwash> do you see the boot splash (xubuntu logo)?
[18:47] <linuxr> no, I have configured direct login
[18:47] <linuxr> just rebooted, doesnt work..damnit
[18:51] <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)
[18:52] <brainwash> at least a hint
[18:52] <brainwash> something that could be googled
