[00:50] <lubot> <heysoundude> Uh oh...help!  What command do I issue in rescue mode to start my system?
[00:51] <wxl> grub rescue??? oh man what did you do?
[00:52] <lubot> <heysoundude> I have no idea. I’m looking at a terminal screen with  … grub rescue>
[00:53] <lubot> <kc2bez> is your drive full disk encrypted?
[00:54] <lubot> <heysoundude> 🤔 possibly. It’s been a few years - I can’t remember
[00:54] <guiverc> @heysoundude,  i usually stop at that point, sysrq-reisub & boot a live system & inspect for issues (`fsck` or file-system check; if it detects & fixes something I'd expect it to normally boot next time...)  I'm assuming unencrypted though
[00:55] <wxl> agreed. you shouldn't just randomly end up in grub rescue
[00:56] <lubot> <kc2bez> I am not sure which version of Lubuntu you are running but if you incorrectly type (or fail to enter in time) your password on FDE you land at grub rescue
[00:56] <lubot> <kc2bez> at that point you can reboot and try to enter your password (assuming FDE)
[00:56] <guiverc> Good point kc2bez ; my most comomn grub-rescue on laptop is b/c I mistyped the encryption key !!
[00:57] <lubot> <heysoundude> I did have a problem booting, and it told me to run fsck /dev/sda1 and I hit option a (yes to all). When it finished, I typed reboot, then it asked me to “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key”
[00:57] <lubot> <heysoundude> It was 18.04.3
[00:58] <lubot> <kc2bez> ^that sounds like a disk problem.
[00:58] <lubot> <heysoundude> It’s a ~2yr old ssd.
[00:59] <lubot> <heysoundude> An HP
[00:59] <lubot> <heysoundude> Is there something to try before we call it DOA?
[01:00] <guiverc> my suggestion (as before) would be boot a 'live' system (eg. Lubuntu install media & use 'Start Lubuntu') and `fsck` your ssd.  The reason for using 'live' is so your ssd is unused when you boot, thus is easily checked & issues fixed with `fsck`
[01:00] <lubot> <heysoundude> Ok. Let me see where I put the USB stick...
[01:01] <lubot> <heysoundude> If it’s missing, I have other machines I can use to DL lubuntu. Can I maybe go to 19.04?  Or should I?
[01:02] <guiverc> the 'live' system need not be the same version; ideally pretty modern but I'd use anything 18.04 or later myself
[01:02] <lubot> <kc2bez> 19.04 is EOL, if anything you should use 19.10
[01:03] <lubot> <heysoundude> Hmm. Ok. Standby.
[01:03] <lubot> <heysoundude> (And thank you!!)
[01:04]  * guiverc got a fright; I'd not posted 19.04's EOL to fridge; but still a few days left of life..
[01:05] <wxl> don't feel bad, when i posted to the list, one of the dates i gave was in the past XD

[01:08] <lubot> <kc2bez> ^ Pinned in Telegram now.
[01:08] <guiverc> yep 23rd fitting with https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-January/000252.html - notice of coming EOL (thursday 23)
[01:13]  * kc2bez realizes that he never mentioned that in the stand-up
[01:24] <lubot> <heysoundude> Having a hard time getting the torrent of 19.10 to start...
[01:24] <lubot> <heysoundude> The USB I found has 17.04 iso on it
[01:28] <lubot> <heysoundude> Forgot this machine has avast on it...got it going now.

[11:06] <lubot> <kc2bez> @devikri [execuse me, is there any rdp client recomended for lubuntu 18.04 ?], I use remmina, it works well for me. I haven't used the version that is in 18.04 in a while but it worked the last time I tried it.
[11:15] <lubot> <devikri> (Photo, 1280x719) https://i.imgur.com/EvpPByQ.jpg thx, it works well
[11:15] <lubot> <kc2bez> Happy to help.
