[11:28] <v0lZy77> hello
[11:29] <v0lZy77> I 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.png
[11:32] <guiverc> v0lZy77, 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] <v0lZy77> it's a ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
[11:32] <v0lZy77> Vionic Veaver
[11:32] <v0lZy77> Bionic Beaver I mean
[11:33] <guiverc> The oldest supported release of Lubuntu is 20.04 LTS; 18.04 is EOL https://lubuntu.me/bionic-eol/
[11:33] <v0lZy77> I understand its EOL, i'd just like to get the machine to boot
[11:34] <v0lZy77> Seems 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 point
[11:34] <guiverc> we 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.
[11:35] <v0lZy77> I asked there initially and they suggested I ask here
 Is your VM Ubuntu or Lubuntu?
[11:37] <guiverc> okay I note sm2's suggestion to come here   (I don't see why though)
[11:38] <v0lZy77> It's a Ubuntu
[11:39] <kc2bez> You were in the right channel to begin with then. I suggest continuing there. 
[11:40] <v0lZy77> Not a lot of people seem to engage in the question there...
[11:40] <v0lZy77> Can I ask here perhaps, about this part of the boot process (is probably identical in newer versions)
[11:41] <v0lZy77> From what I understand, initramfs is supposed to be just enough OS to mount the partitions and start a login process...
[11:41] <kc2bez> Your setup doesn't look like our default setup. It looks like you have a BTRFS Raid. 
[11:41] <guiverc> No 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...
[11:43] <kc2bez> Read only usually implies unclean mounting and shut down.  
[11:43] <v0lZy77> kc2bez[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)
[11:44] <v0lZy77> Theres a message 'Scanning for Btrfs filesystems' followed by 2 lines .. .one about print_req_error: I/O errror, dev fd0, sector'
[11:45] <v0lZy77> and the other floppy: error 10 while reading block 0
[11:45] <v0lZy77> after that, there's a warning about 'fsck not present, so skipping root file system'
[11:45] <v0lZy77> and then it mountds ext4-fs (sda2) with ordered data mode. opts: (null)
[11:45] <v0lZy77> Then this /scripts/local-bottom
[11:46] <v0lZy77> And after that /scripts/init-bottom ... mkdir: can't create directory '/root/lib/modules': read only file system.... this root is obviously the /
[11:47] <v0lZy77> And 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't
[11:48] <v0lZy77> To me this suggests that the system should be mounted RW ... I dont know how to edit initramfs to do that.
[11:50] <v0lZy77> im looking at the /init script in initramfs ... and it has a piece of code that says: if ! validate_init "${init} ; then panic "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ; fi .... which is the error I get before dropping into initramfs
[11:51] <v0lZy77> function validate_init() { run-init -n "${rootmnt}" "${1}" }
 Everytime I try to use ATP... And I didn't manage to find a solution yet... : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/129599f0/file_4108.jpg
[16:42] <fx__> Hi, I've tried to install elinks, then I got
[16:42] <fx__> ```
[16:42] <fx__> Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 libfsplib0 amd64 0.14-1
[16:42] <fx__>   Connection failed [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8001::24 80]

[16:42] <fx__> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[16:44] <oerheks> fx try again in a few minutes, and run apt update again
[16:44] <oerheks> if that does not work, change mirror?
 how can I mount iso files in lubuntu 20.04?
[17:35] <oerheks> double click on the iso, it gets mounted in /media/  ?
 doesn't work
 i can open it only with ark, k3b and VLC
 hello?
[18:48] <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`?
[18:51] <fx__> @oerheks https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/ works fine 
[21:33] <faLUKE> hello. 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 overkill
