  System hangs in " Starting Bridge socket events into upstart"
Posted by: Netuzist - 11-23-2015, 01:28 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (1)

Hi guys;

My Linux Lite 2.4 system has been hanging at boot.  So when I pressed F4 to see what the problem was it read " Starting Bridge socket events into upstart.

I searched for a possible solution and found a post by Stéphane Graber (stgraber) in the launchpad.net site that said that in order to resolve the issue I have to edit /var/lib/lxc/<container>/config and make it look like something like [this]:
"""
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-download
# Parameters passed to the template: -d ubuntu -r trusty -a amd64
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.conf(5)

# Distribution configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf
lxc.arch = x86_64

# Container specific configuration
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME/rootfs
lxc.utsname = YOUR-CONTAINER-NAME

# Network configuration
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = lxcbr0
lxc.network.hwaddr = YOUR-CONTAINER-MAC-ADDRESS

But how can I do that when I can't even boot into the damn system !

  Restoring a single file
Posted by: torreydale - 11-23-2015, 12:29 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (11)

How does one restore a single file or directory in Linux Lite?  I was going through the restore process using the Backups utility (aka Deja Dup), and it appeared it was going to restore everything I backed up, when I only need to retrieve one file.

  Kernel Panic- not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
Posted by: Netuzist - 11-22-2015, 07:27 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

Hi I have another boot issue this and it's this when I boot my modified chromebox with Linux Lite as standalone os it boots slower than usual then when I pressed f4 the system hangs at "starting enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices".  I googled that phrase and discovered a forum post in the Linux Mint bugs.launchpad.net site that said that in order to resolve this issue, I had to drop into recovery mode on boot, remount the root partition as read/write if necessary, edit fstab to fix or comment out the offending entry, save it and reboot. 

So rebooted my modified chrome-box and went into the grub menu and booted this distro's kernel in recovery mode and tried to edit fstab by remounting the root partition as read write and couldn't do it.  Along the way, I also discovered that terminal no longer works when pressing ctrl-alt-F1 nor does ctrl-alt-F2 nor with F3.  After trying to run fstab in recovery mode several times and discovering that it just sits there I googled this problem I found a workaround at this forum post http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...rect-fstab whereby I see the contents of the fstab file add init=/bin/bash to the end of the kernel command line.  So I did what is on that post and got into the fstab file and saw the phrase which is the title of this post. 

Therefore, I googled "Kernel Panic- not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" to find a likely solution for this error and found this post in the Ubuntu forum dating back to 2012 a user by the name of lemon squeeze states that If you cannot get a root prompt at all, then get a LiveCD (the cd / usb key you used to install ubuntu should work) and boot from it. Then you have a useable system from which you can access the broken one.  http://askubuntu.com/questions/116635/ke...oo-swapper.  So my question to you guys is this should I follow Oli's instructions to Boot to a LiveCD, select Try Ubuntu and then open a a terminal. Run the following:
sudo fdisk -l etc, etc in other words try to fix this my installed distro with an ubuntu live usb as shown in the you tube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jIAvs5bFU

  NUC Install Issues - nvme pcie drive

[size=1em]Hi,[/size]

[size=1em]I started new thread instead of using the other thread.[/size]
[size=1em]I think this is possibly disk related..??[/size]
[size=1em]I booted a live gparted, and prepared partitions in advance. (see below)[/size]

[size=1em]"IMPORTANT" the NUC contains a "Samsung nvme pcie ssd"[/size]
[size=1em]So gparted detected drive O.K, and allowed me to create partitions.[/size]
[size=1em]Linux kernel gives an odd, but normal: /dev/nvme0n1p1[/size]
[size=1em]I decide to install LL2.6 1st and make sure everything works.[/size]
[size=1em]I ran LL2.6 Live boot USB, installed it, and it all ran O.K, no errors.[/size]
[size=1em]On re-boot I get the "grub screen"[/size]

[size=1em][img height=600 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/J4ZR8pT.jpg[/img][/size]

[size=1em]I checked Win7 still booted O.K, and it booted fine.[/size]
[size=1em]Then I re-booted and selected "Linux Lite",[/size]

[size=1em]Couple of observations/notes:[/size]
[size=1em]1. The NUC Bios is set to Legacy & Safeboot "disabled", and the nvme pcie drive is recognised in BIOS[/size]
[size=1em]2. For the Win7 install I needed to install it initially to 2nd drive, add 2 NS hofixes, then "clone" to nvme drive.[/size]
[size=1em]    This is because Win7 does not recognise nvme pcie drives.[/size]
[size=1em]3. I think the disk order is due to the nvme pcie card being plugged direct on Mobo, and 2nd disk is on SATA port[/size]
[size=1em]4. The nvme pcie disk "Model Unknown."..?? and it's sector size 512B/512B vs other disk is 512B/4096B ??[/size]

[size=1em]Googling shows nvme pcie drives appear to be problematic in terms of setting up for Linux Boot[/size]
[size=1em]I got confused, when discussions centred around UEFI & GPT started to be discussed, no mention of "Legacy scenario"..!![/size]
[size=1em]So more research needed, but any comments welcome Smile [/size]

  Pass Variable To URL
Posted by: Duckeenie - 11-20-2015, 07:23 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)


[size=1em]Below we have some code that I expected would evaluate the variable %t before loading the relevant web page. It doesn't work it simply uses %t as a literal string.[/size]

Code:
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%t

[size=1em]I know the variable itself works fine so I'm wondering if the code is just badly formatted or the problem needs to be approached differently.[/size]

[size=1em]Thought this would be easy but now it's driving me mad. A green glow for the first one with a solution.[/size]

  More on themes
Posted by: jeffneedle - 11-18-2015, 07:20 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi.  Using Lite 2.6, 64-bit.

I'm still spinning on the themes issue.  Here's my problem.

The manual tells us to search the Gnome Look website for our desired theme.  In my case, it's Adwaita-Xfce.  Found it, clicked through.  I'm supposed to download the theme.  But when I click on the download link, it takes me to github.  Clicking through the links, you get a long list of files that apparently are contained in the adwaita archive, but I can't figure out how to download the archive, as instructed.  It's so frustrating!!!!  Why isn't this easier?

I would really appreciate some help here.  Many thanks.

  Are donations to Linux Lite from the US tax deductible?
Posted by: torreydale - 11-18-2015, 06:16 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

Are donations to Linux Lite from the US tax deductible?

I don't know, but this link from the Debian Site says contributions to SPI (Software in the Public Interest) are.  And this link from the Linux Foundation says contributions to them are not.

If, like SPI, Linux Lite needs to register as a non-profit organization in the US for donations to be tax deductible, then the paperwork might be worthwhile.
