| [07:18] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> When starting up laptop i get this message | |
| [07:21] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Any way to fix it without losing data? | |
| [07:25] <IrcsomeBot> <blooalien> @Kris Tjan, If you're patient, careful, and do your research well, you can actually fix such errors without risk to your data, but prolly easier to boot from a Linux LiveDVD and back up your important data to an external drive and then reinstall. Fixing broken boot (on ANY operating system) does require some skills and knowledge (and as mentioned, patience and caution). | |
| [07:26] <IrcsomeBot> <blooalien> If done right, the reinstall might not even touch your data (depending on how the system was initially set up, and how you go about the reinstall). | |
| [07:34] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Thank u | |
| [07:35] <lordievader> Like blooalien says, start by salvaging data through a live-usb/cd. Then you can figure out what the problem is. | |
| [07:36] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Thanks | |
| [07:38] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Tried to boot from live dvd but it wont start to load, even when i set it first on boot order, i can hear dvd is running and it load something but nothing happens | |
| [07:39] <lordievader> How did you create the live dvd? | |
| [07:40] <lordievader> (Live-usb drives are typically easier, as you can reuse the one if things go wrong) | |
| [07:46] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Downloaded, burned and installed | |
| [07:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Tried usb first but it wont load eader | |
| [07:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Then i went to dvd | |
| [08:12] <lordievader> How did you burn it, just the iso, or the contents of the iso? | |
| [08:48] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Dont remember | |
| [09:21] <lordievader> Putting the iso on disc directly will not work 😉 hence the question. | |

| [11:02] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/BCNsXexL/file_23142.jpg hi, I was trying to make work a hard disk with no success, I made the mistake to try to mount it on the mount point "/home/disk2" and then rebooted the computer. Now the system isn't loading anymore and I get to emergency mode. Any help would be appreciated | |
| [11:02] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/IqXpi8ys/file_23143.jpg | |
| [11:06] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> I tried rebooting the system with and without the hard disk but the problem persists | |
| [11:07] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> after the line "a start job is running for /dev/sdb2" the computer goes to emergency mode | |
| [11:12] <tomreyn> !emergency | salvaconnome | |
| [11:12] <tomreyn> !recovery | salvaconnome | |
| [11:12] <ubottu> salvaconnome: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | |
| [11:15] <lordievader> salvaconnome That looks like your disk is broken. | |
| [11:17] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> yeah but the disk I was trying to mount is not the Kubuntu disk | |
| [11:21] <lordievader> I'd say the Kubuntu drive is broken. | |
| [11:21] <lordievader> Start a live-usb and run `smartctl -a` on the drive (possibly after installing the `smartmontools` package) | |
| [11:24] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> I'm trying to load the Recovery Mode now, now is doing some disk control (it may take some time since the computer have many disks actually) | |
| [11:25] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/LcgOTvfJ/file_23146.jpg | |
| [11:25] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> haha that's funny | |
| [11:27] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> @lordievader, will try thanks | |

| [12:15] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> okay I did a "smartctl -a" on the drive after installing smartmontools | |
| [12:16] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> now what? | |

| [12:46] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> I tried to reboot in recovery mode again with only the system hard disk attached and it says this | |
| [12:47] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/H7w0U9k0/file_23154.jpg | |
| [12:47] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> a start job is running for /dev/sdb2 | |
| [12:48] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> and then it breaks to half emergency mode half recovery mode without letting me use recovery mode | |
| [12:48] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> but the weird thing is that there is no sdb2 so why is waiting for it to start? | |
| [12:50] <lordievader> sda is showing three pending sectors... and a few errors during smart tests. I'd replace it if I were you. | |
| [12:50] <lordievader> Is sdb2 still defined in `/etc/fstab`? | |
| [12:50] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> how do I do that? | |
| [12:50] <lordievader> Do what? | |
| [12:51] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> both things | |
| [12:51] <lordievader> Replacing a disk is a physical action. Buy a new one, connect both, transfer data, remove old one. | |
| [12:51] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> replace pending sectors | |
| [12:51] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> ah ok | |
| [12:51] <lordievader> `grep sdb /etc/fstab` will show you if it is still referred to | |
| [12:51] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> then the second one lol | |
| [12:52] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> grep: /etc/: Is a directory … grep: fstab: No such file or directory | |
| [12:53] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> or do I have to do this in emergency mode? | |
| [12:54] <lordievader> `/etc/fstab` contains no spaces. | |
| [12:54] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> I tried the commands on the liveusb now | |
| [12:54] <lordievader> In that case you need to check the `/etc/fstab` from the "Kubuntu" drive. | |
| [12:56] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> do I have to mount all the partitions of the disk? | |
| [12:57] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> im a n00b for this kind of problems I have no idea of what I have to do | |
| [13:02] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> how do I remove this bastards | |
| [13:02] <IrcsomeBot> <daniel9411> Hello everyone! I would like to know if any of you have encountered problems with sharing the screen via Chrome and using 2 monitors simultaneously. I have been for several months that every time I share my screen, I share both monitors as if it were one. | |
| [13:03] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> that-s the output of sdb /etc/fstab | |
| [13:04] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> sorry daniel but I-ve never used that option | |
| [13:06] <BluesKaj> Howdy all | |
| [13:07] <lordievader> salvaconnome: Yes, you have to mount the root partition of your Kubuntu install. | |
| [13:12] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> yeah I figured that out, I then edited the fstab file and commented the lines I believe are wrong, trying a reboot now | |
| [13:14] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> yes it worked, thank you so much for your patience and help lordievader, you're a life saver | |
| [13:15] <IrcsomeBot> <salvaconnome> I know this computer needs a new hard drive but I needed to make it work for now | |
| [13:16] <lordievader> No problem 😉 | |

| [22:00] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Can i make kubuntu live usb with Windows computer? | |
| [22:00] <oerheks> sure | |
| [22:00] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> What program should i use | |
| [22:00] <oerheks> !usb | |

| [22:01] <oerheks> rufus is preferred | |
| [22:01] <IrcsomeBot> <Kris Tjan> Thank u | |
| [22:36] * keithzg-M vaguely remembers there being a bug open for using `dd` in WSL, though it looks like it's still open and very unlikely to ever be resolved: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/689 Maybe with WSL2? | |
| [22:37] <keithzg-M> One can also purportedly use Cygwin's `dd`. I mean it's definitely a better plan to just use Rufus or other such native tools, but :D | |
| [23:25] <mparillo> And Rufus has dd mode.] | |
| [23:25] <mparillo> What I have not tried is dd in WSL | |
| [23:26] <mparillo> keithzg-M: Do you know anything about WSL2? | |
| [23:28] <mparillo> Pretty much all I do with WSL is zsync and perl | |
| [23:49] <keithzg-M> mparillo: dd definitely won't work in WSL since there's no actual block device access, WSL2 is actually using the CPU hardware virtualization extensions so miiiiight work? Although I'm not sure it's even out yet. | |
