| 21:06.17 | yaMatt | Ski2016, I doubt I can solve it tonight, but what distro? |
| 21:06.30 | Ski2016 | Mageia |
| 21:07.35 | yaMatt | wow, going niche |
| 21:08.22 | Ski2016 | Something like that |
| 21:09.01 | yaMatt | and it's on hardware? The first reference I've found to that error is for a VM |
| 21:10.07 | Ski2016 | Its the primary OS, I have vm but desktop not loading |
| 21:10.22 | Ski2016 | can't even get to login screen |
| 21:13.05 | Ski2016 | Running system log, it shows failed to start UTMP about system boot / shutdown |
| 21:14.08 | yaMatt | seems to be a fairly common message, does it have a number at the end? |
| 21:15.27 | Ski2016 | No number showing |
| 21:16.02 | yaMatt | weird |
| 21:16.33 | yaMatt | I'm afraid I don't know, there may be messages higher up that may be more relevant |
| 21:16.37 | Ski2016 | can't seem do do anything useful in safe mode. |
| 21:16.58 | Ski2016 | I don't re all command useful. |
| 21:17.10 | yaMatt | so this is something that works ok on other kernels? |
| 21:19.17 | Ski2016 | If I type the REISUB it shuts down and reboots with no errors |
| 21:19.50 | Ski2016 | The other kernels I have are all showing the exact same problem |
| 21:20.58 | Ski2016 | startx gets a connection refused |
| 21:22.25 | yaMatt | yeah, was thinking it's going to affect X |
| 21:22.44 | yaMatt | I was wondering if X was causing it, but I don't think so |
| 21:26.51 | Ski2016 | if I try booting init3 I get to Chichester then it stops |
| 21:27.16 | yaMatt | wtf is Chichester? |
| 21:27.24 | yaMatt | you get on a train? |
| 21:27.49 | Ski2016 | strong thing is, if you insert a sun stick, it shows up the kernel connecting and disconnecting, it just refuses to finish booting |
| 21:28.57 | Ski2016 | Chester lol, autocorrect.... VBoxNetAdp |
| 21:29.23 | Ski2016 | USB stick. |
| 21:31.01 | yaMatt | those autocorrects are messing with my head :D |
| 21:31.34 | Ski2016 | lol. |
| 21:32.47 | Ski2016 | Is there any hardware that could be a problem? Up to the point the boot stops, it isn't showing errors. |
| 21:41.29 | yaMatt | so the first answer I saw was a VM issue that seems to be ACPI related |
| 21:41.38 | yaMatt | but could be totally incorrect :) |
| 21:41.44 | yaMatt | but it is a very weird one |
| 21:42.04 | yaMatt | could be a flipped bit on disk or something annoying like that |
| 21:42.16 | yaMatt | could possibly try the same disk on other hardware? |
| 21:42.24 | Ski2016 | I tried acai off in grub, but it just gets to a blank screen an have to do a reboot |
| 21:42.40 | Ski2016 | acpi |
| 21:43.45 | Ski2016 | I could try the drive in another machine, will it complain about not finding /home ? |
| 21:47.11 | yaMatt | I suppose it might, but I would hope that's pretty obvious |
| 21:47.24 | yaMatt | and easy enough to fix, just make sure you backup your fstab |
| 21:48.26 | Ski2016 | I always keep a backup of that :) |
| 21:52.28 | yaMatt | very sensible |
| 22:01.19 | Ski2016 | drive in different pc just dumps me Into debug shell |
| 22:09.11 | yaMatt | heh. Worse! |
| 22:11.07 | Ski2016 | Just swapping graphics cards to see if that does anything |
| 22:11.43 | yaMatt | worth trying |
| 22:15.35 | Ski2016 | It made no difference, still stops booting in the same place |
| 22:41.28 | Ski2016 | systemd log shows quite a lot of "failed mounting /usr" while booting. don't know if that means anything. |
