| stamasd | hi there | 10:54 |
|---|---|---|
| stamasd | I'm trying to install xubuntu on an older HP thin client (VIA Nano 1GHz, 4GB, ViaChrome GPU). The install went fine, but after booting into the system I only get a CLI, not a GUI. | 10:55 |
| stamasd | The installer worked fine in GUI mode, and after rebooting I do get the Xubuntu logo with the spinning circle for a few seconds, then it drops to text mode. | 10:56 |
| stamasd | I have the Xorg.0.log but I'm not sure how to attach it here. It looks like it's trying a number of drivers and failing. | 10:57 |
| stamasd | okay here we go: https://pastebin.com/ri5CG59d | 10:59 |
| stamasd | that is the Xorg log | 10:59 |
| xu-irc32w | Hi, I am trying to install xubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64 on VirtualBox-6.1.40-154048-Win and right at the end of installation, I get the message: installed linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic package post installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1. I'm not sure what's going on. I have recently reset my laptop, so this is a brand new | 12:56 |
| xu-irc32w | installation, but I had installed it previously (prior to reset) with no problems at all. I'm installing using all the default Xubuntu settings. Let me know if I need to provide any other details. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. | 12:56 |
| gnrp | xu-irc32w: you install it in a virtualbox? | 13:14 |
| gnrp | could be it's failing to install the bootloader. | 13:14 |
| gnrp | honestly, since it's a vm, I'd just try rebooting and doing a new installl in case. Worst case is losing five minutes | 13:14 |
| xu-irc32w | Thank you for your response - unfortunately, I've tried that a few times and I'm still getting the same error. | 13:15 |
| gnrp | what happens when you reboot? | 13:25 |
| gnrp | the vm, I mean | 13:25 |
| xu-irc32w | If I keep the .iso file in the drive, the VM will reboot and go through the process of reinstalling xubuntu | 13:31 |
| gnrp | and if you don't? | 13:32 |
| xu-irc32w | I get the message: end Kernel panic: not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block | 13:35 |
| gnrp | hm. I don't have enough insight how the installer works. but it seems as if the initrd has a problem. next time you install, you should start a shell and try reconfiguring the packages to regenerate the inird | 13:41 |
| xu-irc32w | That's about as much as I gleaned from my searches too - I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your help, I'll give that a go! | 13:45 |
| gnrp | with dpkg-reconfigure -a | 13:49 |
| gnrp | but I don't know if they get installed in a chroot or how this works exactly | 13:49 |
| stamasd | well the situation with the HP thin client has got worse. :) | 13:55 |
| stamasd | originally right after install and reboot, it would drop me to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I was still able to switch to a different virtual console (ctrl-alt-f1, f2 etc), login and do stuff in the CLI. But after I did a system update (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade - which BTW completed fine) and reboot, it won't let me login | 13:58 |
| stamasd | anymore. It still goes to a blank screen with blinking cursor, but now when I switch to a different virtual console, it automatically switches back to the one with the blinking cursor within one second. I don't have time to type in my username/password before that happens so I can't login. | 13:58 |
| stamasd | And it looks like SSH access is turned off by default so I can't remote login either | 13:59 |
| stamasd | At this point I don't have access to the OS anymore. I may have to pull the drive off, conenct it to another machine and chroot into it to try and salvage things | 13:59 |
| stamasd | ... or use a live CD to chroot | 14:05 |

| tomreyn | consider installing a proper irc client and getting a better nickname, too. | 18:25 |
| PrinceRYlan42 | Hello I'm using a VM with Xubuntu installed and my second monitor isn't working properly when I drag applications over my cursor is misaligned with the program. And when I try to click on things in a program it doesnt function. How do I get my second monitor to operate ? | 19:46 |

| patrick_ | Hello? | 21:13 |
| gnrp | patrick_: hi | 21:13 |
| patrick_ | any craic | 21:14 |
| patrick_ | Guys how do I move a window between monitors using the keyboard? I've tried some scripts that I downloaded using pip but they weren't working properly, or at least I didn't set them up correctly. Some windows were moving, but not all of them. | 21:19 |
| gnrp | patrick_: There is no built-in way for that | 21:37 |
| gnrp | patrick_: https://github.com/jc00ke/move-to-next-monitor - this one works for me (22.04) | 21:40 |
| gnrp | I put that on a hotkey and it does the job | 21:40 |
