v0lZy77hello11:28
v0lZy77I have an issue with a Ubuntu vm. The boot process drops me into initramfs after reporting that mkdir can't create directory '/root/lib/modules': Read only filesystem. See screenshot https://pasteboard.co/vKNHa2wowipT.png11:29
guivercv0lZy77, you've not provided any OS/release details; is it a Lubuntu system?  the /root/lib/ directory makes no sense to me? nor /scripts/init-..  what OS?11:32
v0lZy77it's a ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS11:32
v0lZy77Vionic Veaver11:32
v0lZy77Bionic Beaver I mean11:32
guivercThe oldest supported release of Lubuntu is 20.04 LTS; 18.04 is EOL https://lubuntu.me/bionic-eol/11:33
v0lZy77I understand its EOL, i'd just like to get the machine to boot11:33
v0lZy77Seems this happened in the VM with a power out ... and I needed to boot a livecd and fsck the root partition (twice in a row) to get to this point11:34
guivercwe don't support it; #ubuntu still provides bionic/18.04 support for main Ubuntu... Lubuntu & all flavors are now EOL; you can use `ubuntu-support-status` to confirm what parts of your system are still supported.11:34
v0lZy77I asked there initially and they suggested I ask here11:35
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Is your VM Ubuntu or Lubuntu?11:36
guivercokay I note sm2's suggestion to come here   (I don't see why though)11:37
v0lZy77It's a Ubuntu11:38
kc2bezYou were in the right channel to begin with then. I suggest continuing there. 11:39
v0lZy77Not a lot of people seem to engage in the question there...11:40
v0lZy77Can I ask here perhaps, about this part of the boot process (is probably identical in newer versions)11:40
v0lZy77From what I understand, initramfs is supposed to be just enough OS to mount the partitions and start a login process...11:41
kc2bezYour setup doesn't look like our default setup. It looks like you have a BTRFS Raid. 11:41
guivercNo it isn't; Ubuntu now ensures boot processes are the same for all architectures for a single release; ie. 21.10 boots the same for s390x, amd64, arm64, ppc64el  -- but that's differently to 20.04 for example...11:41
kc2bezRead only usually implies unclean mounting and shut down.  11:43
v0lZy77kc2bez[m]: driver for raid6 is loaded during loading essential drivers, but system doesnt have raid ... I mean, I can't see how it could. theres only /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda1 (the first of which is ext4 and the second of which is bios boot)11:43
v0lZy77Theres a message 'Scanning for Btrfs filesystems' followed by 2 lines .. .one about print_req_error: I/O errror, dev fd0, sector'11:44
v0lZy77and the other floppy: error 10 while reading block 011:45
v0lZy77after that, there's a warning about 'fsck not present, so skipping root file system'11:45
v0lZy77and then it mountds ext4-fs (sda2) with ordered data mode. opts: (null)11:45
v0lZy77Then this /scripts/local-bottom11:45
v0lZy77And after that /scripts/init-bottom ... mkdir: can't create directory '/root/lib/modules': read only file system.... this root is obviously the /11:46
v0lZy77And if i do mount, i see that its in fact mounted RO... initramfs is trying to create /lib/modules on /, but because its RO it can't11:47
v0lZy77To me this suggests that the system should be mounted RW ... I dont know how to edit initramfs to do that.11:48
v0lZy77im looking at the /init script in initramfs ... and it has a piece of code that says: if ! validate_init "${init} ; then panic "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ; fi .... which is the error I get before dropping into initramfs11:50
v0lZy77function validate_init() { run-init -n "${rootmnt}" "${1}" }11:51

lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> how can I mount iso files in lubuntu 20.04?17:33
oerheksdouble click on the iso, it gets mounted in /media/  ?17:35
lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> doesn't work17:35
lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> i can open it only with ark, k3b and VLC17:35
lubot[telegram] <motorolae7> hello?18:11
fx__@oerheks I've changed the mirror, problem solved! why the official mirror `wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/...` after the `/f` directory `The connection was reset`?18:48
fx__@oerheks https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/ works fine 18:51
faLUKEhello. I need a text editor for C programming on Lubuntu. I tried "kate", which has a panel reserved for the terminal (konsole), on which I can execute the compiling commands. However, konsole is very buggy. Is there an alternative or a way to fix this? IDEs like code::blocks are overkill21:33
