Star OSQuestion: What is the meaning of the Ubuntu boot options? I have added a note to correct the "too broad" issue on my question. However, it was closed anyway (incorrectly) as "too broad", but it is not too broad anymore. Is it still "too broad" or it's incorrectly closed (like i thought)? By the ...

@michael you should post your problem here. Live boot ubuntu and post your partition details

ok give me a second, whats a kernel panic by the way?
 
edward torvalds
edward torvalds
@michael kernel panice is when your kernel crashes, there are many reasons for it. you have to reboot your computer
 
michael
michael
this is when its booting before it finishes loading ubuntu
 
edward torvalds
edward torvalds
@michael you should probably mention this too in your question, it will be helpful if you post the photo of your screen when kernel panics
@michael more details on kernel panics

Q: install of 14.04.03 cause kernel panic before boot complete

michaelI have just re-installed 14.04.04 LTS for perhaps the fifteenth time. I have had much tro uble getting it to install and have played around with formatting and partitions quite a bit. here is the output from lsblk -f sda sda1 sda 2 sda5 ubuntu--vg-...

hope thats enough info???
sorry the output from lsblk i wrote out manually so seem to have lost the branching structure

@michael output of lsblk is hard to read, you should copy paste it

sorry edward but im looking at one machine and typing on another. seems someone else has fixed it.... thanks for that

@michael you can also boot a live Ubuntu from USB on your broken machine. By this you can still browse Ask Ubuntu, look at your machine, copy & paste stuff, and more. ;)

@michael Boot repair may give you some insights by creating a BootInfo summary, and it can also try to repair common issues: askubuntu.com/questions/226061/… - it may just be a misconfigured Grub issue.
 
michael
michael
alright will do
 
Takkat
Takkat
@michael if in doubt don't let it do anything before asking somebody ;)
 
michael
michael
just installed running the BootInfo summary
 
Takkat
Takkat
2:35 PM
@michael apparently there is an issue with your LVM partitions...
but I am not so good at debugging LVM.
The Boot repair suggest to re-install Grub to enable LVM but I have no idea, if that will help in your case.
 
michael
michael
ok, how about just going from scratch. No important data on HD, all has been backed up.
 
Takkat

You should add the BootInfo paste link to your question.
@michael naaah - no sports no fun ;)
 
michael
michael
its there in between the screen shots, accidentally. "no sports" ????
 
Takkat
Takkat
No sports is doing the obvious without trying to learn by tackling it the hard way. If your bold you can give BootRepair a try... but don't blame me if it makes things worse

@Takkat eh, I've never played with LVM. So I won't be that much helpful either. But the kernel panic message on @michael 's screenshot in the question suggests there's no working ( or maybe corrupt ) /boot/initrd.img file
 
Takkat
Takkat
2:48 PM
@Serg I guess this is located in his non-accessible LVM partition. But nice to see that I am not the only one who did not yet play with LVM :)

> Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
from BootInfo - this should not be related to the USB installer.
 
michael
michael
what should I do about all those strange partitions? I dont know much about partitions but they have looked either very strange or wrong since I began trying to re-install
 
Takkat
Takkat
@michael yeah, that's it to the point.
 
Serg
Serg
2:54 PM
@michael so you've created one and only usb for installation, and tried to install multiple times, right ?
 
michael
michael
yes just the one usb, although have tried different options for installing and for either formatting or partitioning either with the installer or gparted
 
Serg
Serg
@michael here's an idea, try using different software and different usb drive. For example, I used UNetbootin to create my usb versions. Try jumping to a different version of Ubuntu, maybe 15.10. I would prefer 12.04 because it's long term support, but 15.10 will run out of support i think this year. If that fails, take out the hard drive, and connect it to different computer and use that other computer to install, then take out the hard drive and install it back into your lenovo laptop
 
Takkat
Takkat
^^ 12.04 should say 14.04 ;)
 
user139252
Yay.... Back to work....
 
michael
michael
removing hard disk might be a bit beyond me.The thing is that I had the same version on the same computer, cant remember if i used the same usb drive initially. I will try a different path to installing BUT what partitions if any do I need to adjust/delete/create first?
 
Serg
Serg
3:05 PM
@michael I didn't see any ntfs partition there, so that means there's no windows. Do you wanna keep any files there ? If nothing worth keeping on the hard drive, then do a full nuke - erase it all and install Ubuntu anew
@HeatherBrown on behalf of your work, i say welcome back
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
ugh
 
michael
michael
no windows no data. I love the full nuke but its probably where i have already gone wrong. Should I just do one unallocated space (no partition) with ext3 or ext 4 file format and leave the rest to the installer? writing to zeros (full erase) seems not to work with "Disk" program
Hi Heather, Hi Journeyman was that a grunt of helloor disgust?

Serge I just fixed my install. Finally after 3 days of hell and ageing 5 years. It was the Cruzer Blade after all. Very different when booting the Live from USB even, and had a different menu asking to install or try. Installer fixed partitions too, which at the end were being treated as seperate HDs that gparted couldnt deal with. Cruzer Blade is going to be executed tomorrow at dawn.

@michael eh . . .i've been playing with it when i was in teen years. It was pretty easy for teens to get smokes in my hometown - just come over to any kiosk and buy the pack you want. . . i stopped around 16 because i came to the US and couldnt buy anything here till 18 . . . started again when i was 22 or so . . . I was working in viet restaurant at that time

find someone creepier, haha, life's adventure. I've never had any luck in all the normal places like bars or clubs. Always in the street, shopping, somewhere unexpected for me or her.
 
user136984
@Serg: Well, I have heard of a machine invented by the Japanese (I think) which allows you to send kisses over the internet (you kiss it and it sends the kiss to a robotic mouth which kisses the other person visa versa), so perhaps there is hope for you yet (I understand that they also have more intimate machines which I won't go into)! ;P
 
Serg
Serg
Actually, i found my best friend while in school cafeteria . At that time i would just come over to any chinese person i see , and ask to practice with them . . . or draw portraits . . . cuz that's what i used to do a lot back in the day
@ParanoidPanda means that i need to buy a robotic mouth . . . which might get expensive . . .

in Korea they have those people watching other people binge eat or eat together but through live streaming video. Single living is now the norm.

Thanks for everything Serge great help good talk and thanks everyone else here too, in good company.
 
Serg

@ParanoidPanda You're implying making a girl fall in love with me is easy . . .1) I have none of the Don Juan skills 2) I am a poor college student 3) I smoke ( @HeatherBrown can confirm this is a deal breaker for a lot of females )
@michael always welcome and hope to see you again soon !

em. . . . .that's like . . . a language site there, not dating site there . . .my question would be off topic there . . .
and why did i say "there" 3 times ?

Do you want to continue this somewhere else for security reasons?

They will come with the core (tox), you don't install that separately.

Hello guys I need some help.
I need to read a file in bash as a parameter to command while removing from the file all newline characters and replacing them with white-spaces.
[code]clang -std=c11 "$(tr " " "\n" < source_files)" -g -static -nostdinc -nostdlib -I/usr/local/musl/include -L/usr/local/musl/lib /usr/local/musl/lib/crt1.o /usr/local/musl/lib/crti.o /usr/local/musl/lib/crtn.o -lc[\code]
The above is my shell script.
But it doesn't work for some reason.

@Serg: The lead signer is very beautiful (in my opinion), I understand that she is a model, and also part of 2 other bands (one of which she started). I still haven't figured out the lyrics though (or who writes them)! So that will probably be the next thing that I do... Then I'll move to Japan! ;D

@kos Because SE doesn't like swearing ;)
link to the post, so I can keep an eye on it?
@kos Certain keywords trigger an auto-delete as soon as they reach 1 flag. 5-6 comment flags also removes the comment.
