[08:44] <daffy951> Have run into a problem booting. Getting a white screen with a flashing dot. Unable to see any grub output (holding shift during boot also goes to white screen). Tried boot-repair with auto mode, results in same white screen. Problem started when trying to get 5.3.0-23 working (got kernel panic, VFS: Unable to mount root fs), updating initramfs.. Getting out of ideas how to attack the problem.. Any ideas how to figure out whats causing the problem?
[10:52] <gnrp> daffy951: This white screen is already Linux, or still grub?
[10:53] <daffy951> I can't tell. I would guess grub, but not sure. It's the only thing I see after bios stuff
[10:59] <daffy951> ..But the time it takes for it to pop up indicates it might be around the time for the normal login screen to show
[11:02] <daffy951> This is how it looks: https://youtu.be/qfVln6HK5b4
[11:02] <daffy951> (lunch here, bbl)
[11:04] <gnrp> daffy951: Cannot be played, private video
[11:04] <gnrp> ah, ok, then you are past grub
[11:05] <gnrp> did you try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1?
[11:14] <daffy951> ctrl+alt+f1 no response
[11:18] <daffy951> think the video should work now (never used youtube before)
[11:31] <daffy951> managed to get into grub now by constantly hitting shift during boot instead of holding it
[11:32] <daffy951> and could boot 5.3.0-19 without problems
[11:42] <daffy951> so the question now turned to.. What's wrong with 5.3.0-23 in my computer?
[13:08] <gnrp> daffy951: Can you check the logs from the previous boot?
[13:08] <gnrp> did the system actually freeze or was it e.g. reacting to magic sysrq?
[13:32] <daffy951> I didn't get any response from it, don't know about "magic sysrq"
[13:33] <daffy951> Is the previous boot log available by default somewhere?
[23:51] <FoxBook> So, currently using a liveUSB of 18.04.3 i386 in a panasonic toughbook CF-18
[23:52] <FoxBook> things seem to mostly be working, except fot the touch screen
[23:53] <FoxBook> Is there a calibration procedure for it, as it is only correct at a single point- and as you move from that point, it scales incorrectly
