[11:28] hello [11:29] 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] 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] it's a ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS [11:32] Vionic Veaver [11:32] Bionic Beaver I mean [11:33] The oldest supported release of Lubuntu is 20.04 LTS; 18.04 is EOL https://lubuntu.me/bionic-eol/ [11:33] I understand its EOL, i'd just like to get the machine to boot [11:34] 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] 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] I asked there initially and they suggested I ask here [11:36] [telegram] Is your VM Ubuntu or Lubuntu? [11:37] okay I note sm2's suggestion to come here (I don't see why though) [11:38] It's a Ubuntu [11:39] You were in the right channel to begin with then. I suggest continuing there. [11:40] Not a lot of people seem to engage in the question there... [11:40] Can I ask here perhaps, about this part of the boot process (is probably identical in newer versions) [11:41] From what I understand, initramfs is supposed to be just enough OS to mount the partitions and start a login process... [11:41] Your setup doesn't look like our default setup. It looks like you have a BTRFS Raid. [11:41] 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] Read only usually implies unclean mounting and shut down. [11:43] 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] Theres a message 'Scanning for Btrfs filesystems' followed by 2 lines .. .one about print_req_error: I/O errror, dev fd0, sector' [11:45] and the other floppy: error 10 while reading block 0 [11:45] after that, there's a warning about 'fsck not present, so skipping root file system' [11:45] and then it mountds ext4-fs (sda2) with ordered data mode. opts: (null) [11:45] Then this /scripts/local-bottom [11:46] 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] 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] To me this suggests that the system should be mounted RW ... I dont know how to edit initramfs to do that. [11:50] im looking at the /init script in initramfs ... and it has a piece of code that says: if ! validate_init "${init} ; then panic "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ; fi .... which is the error I get before dropping into initramfs [11:51] function validate_init() { run-init -n "${rootmnt}" "${1}" } [15:03] [telegram] 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] Hi, I've tried to install elinks, then I got [16:42] ``` [16:42] Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 libfsplib0 amd64 0.14-1 [16:42] Connection failed [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8001::24 80] [16:42] E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fsplib/libfsplib0_0.14-1_amd64.deb Connection failed [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8001::24 80] [16:42] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [16:44] fx try again in a few minutes, and run apt update again [16:44] if that does not work, change mirror? [17:33] [telegram] how can I mount iso files in lubuntu 20.04? [17:35] double click on the iso, it gets mounted in /media/ ? [17:35] [telegram] doesn't work [17:35] [telegram] i can open it only with ark, k3b and VLC [18:11] [telegram] hello? [18:48] @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] @oerheks https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/ works fine [21:33] 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
