SinaME 2017-02-22 11:45:16
but now when i do startkde it says "No chroots found in /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots"
SinaME 2017-02-22 11:45:25
thats my problem
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:45:47
Hm.... I don't think deleting the chroot is a good idea. That's essentially the OS.
SinaME 2017-02-22 11:46:17
how can i fix it
Zythyr_ 2017-02-22 11:46:26
I followed this guide, hoever i don't have a Remote Desktop option in my Ubuntu 16: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ubuntu-remote-desktop-builtin-vnc-compatible-dead-easy/
SinaME 2017-02-22 11:46:27
anyway to verify integrity of files?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:46:40
SinaME: I'd say removing it, and starting over.
SinaME 2017-02-22 11:46:50
how can i remove it

I need help please, my wifi adaptor froze the system 16.10 whenever I plugged it in, someone here just told me "check if a 16.10 live cd works with your wifi board and do a chroot", I just verified that works on a live cd, how do I do a "chroot" to restablish the system using this live cd???
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:47:48
I'v honestly never used a Chromebook or installed Ubuntu through Crouton.
k1l 2017-02-22 11:47:56
j4f-shredder: chroot into the installed ubuntu. then run the apt update and apt full-upgrade.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:48:05
SinaME: Maybe ask on the Ubuntu Forums.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:51:42
j4f-shredder: So, do you know what drive and partition the OS is installed on?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:51:55
I can step you through what k1l linked if you need help?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:52:10
no
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:52:14
sda1 is not
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:52:18
Open a command terminal.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:52:22

TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:55:55
sdb4 seems it may be the Ubuntu partition.
nacc 2017-02-22 11:56:10
TheNH813: would be my guess as well
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:56:17
anyway to verify the size
k1l 2017-02-22 11:56:18
linuxgecko: are you sure its 15.04?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:56:20
jf4-shredder: type "sudo mkdir /media/ubuntumount"
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:56:33
jf4-shredder: then "sudo mount /dev/sdb4 /media/ubuntumount"
k1l 2017-02-22 11:56:37
linuxgecko: can you put the output onto paste.ubuntu.com and link it here?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:56:43
And see if it looks like a Linux root partition.
nacc 2017-02-22 11:56:44
j4f-shredder: `lsblk`
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:57:02
Im in gparted
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:57:13
I can see that the sdb4 is the partition
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:57:28
ubuntu is on ext4
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:57:34
Is it the OS partition then? Ok, I'l tell you how to chroot now.
linuxgecko 2017-02-22 11:57:40
the GDM prompt says ubuntu 15.04, so pretty darn sure.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:58:01
Open a terminal/
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:58:08
type sudo -i
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:58:20

k1l: i'm not getting CLI output to paste yet..
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:58:33
j4f-shredder: Then "mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt"
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:58:51
done
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:59:01
j4f-shredder: "mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev"
k1l 2017-02-22 11:59:09
linuxgecko: then what are you doing there?
linuxgecko 2017-02-22 11:59:12
nacc: not yet, i am pretty out of touch with maintaining ubuntu. i will be soon
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:59:23
I cant see the partition mounted on the system explorer
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 11:59:26
is that normal?
k1l 2017-02-22 11:59:26
linuxgecko: "lsb_release -sd" to tell for sure what ubuntu that is
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:59:28
j4f-shredder: "mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc"
TheNH813 2017-02-22 11:59:41
j4f-shredder: "mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys"
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:00:09
j4f-shredder: "chroot /mnt"
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:00:34
j4f-shredder: And now, it should be chrooted.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:00:48
Which means anything you do int he command terminal, happends to the installation, and not the livecd.
linuxgecko 2017-02-22 12:00:57
k1l: i wanted to make sure i had my system up to snuff BEFORE the EOL upgrade to something modern, so i opened the software center in the gui, and it said there were issues with installed packages, gave me a repair button, i pushed it, and it failed to complete the repair task.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:01:19
ok
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:01:21
so now
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:01:28
which commands should I run?
linuxgecko 2017-02-22 12:01:49
k1l: it has yet to give me more verbose info, so i can start "really" solving the issue
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:01:59
j4f-shredder: Which issue were you trying to fix using chroot?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:02:05
Packages? Drivers?
k1l 2017-02-22 12:02:19
linuxgecko: is it still running?
nacc 2017-02-22 12:02:34
j4f-shredder: `apt update; apt full-upgrade`
linuxgecko 2017-02-22 12:02:59
k1l: the repair? sorta? i cycles back to telling me there is a problem, and prompts me to hit the repair button, or cancel
k1l 2017-02-22 12:03:11
cancel it.

the repos are down, so it cant load anything
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:03:34

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:03:39
it says it cant resolve
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:03:41
the downloads
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:03:47
its like when you dont have internet
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:04:01
Try connecting a ethernet cable instead of using wireless if possible.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:04:14
the ethernet board is burnt
k1l 2017-02-22 12:04:27

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:04:56
I have internet on the live cd

j4f-shredder: did you read the wiki page k1l said?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:05:37
should I add those two ips with nano?
k1l 2017-02-22 12:05:38
j4f-shredder: that doesnt matter for the chroot
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:05:58
Yes. Nano can be used to add those.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:06:00
or I can set them on the terminal?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:06:41

linuxgecko: then run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" since there is no other way to upgrade to 15.10. after that run the regular "sudo do-release-upgrade" to get to 16.04
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:09:13
so, this is what you generally do when you have a problem?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:09:14
j4f-shredder: You could try that if this doesn't work, yes.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:09:24
chroot
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:09:29
to the installation with a live cd?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:09:38
Yes, it can fix quite a few problems.
k1l 2017-02-22 12:09:50
j4f-shredder: yes. then run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:10:07
it would be nice for ubuntu to have a cloud service so you can recover all your stuff when reinstalling
pavlos 2017-02-22 12:10:16
is it still upgrading?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:10:21
j4f-shredder: Or you can reinstall it if it's too much trouble to sort out. But that's a last resort method, as most of the time it's easier to fix things in chroot the reinstall everything.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:10:35
ok
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:10:38
it has ended
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:10:43
should I reboot now?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:11:17
j4f-shredder: Which issue were you trying to solve, just a apt issue, or is they anything else that needs fixing?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:11:33
no, just the wifi freezing the OS

where should I run the "apt issue"??
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:12:11
on the chroot?
jaith 2017-02-22 12:12:21
am I correct in understanding that when apache creates files in some directory that the rwx settings of these files is determined by some umask value?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:12:42
j4f-shredder: Huh?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:12:52
you said to paste the output of apt issue
k1l 2017-02-22 12:12:52
j4f-shredder: on the chroot of course.
nacc 2017-02-22 12:12:59
j4f-shredder: yes, you should logout of the chroot (exit), umount the disk and reboot
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:12:59
but which command
nacc 2017-02-22 12:13:05
j4f-shredder: it wasn't a ommand
nacc 2017-02-22 12:13:12
TheNH813: j4f-shredder had a wifi problem
nacc 2017-02-22 12:13:17

TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:13:21
nacc: Ah, ok.
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:13:24
how do I unmount
nacc 2017-02-22 12:13:24
TheNH813: as they had no network without the wifi
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:13:34
umount /mnt
nacc 2017-02-22 12:13:43

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:14:02
target is busy
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:14:03
it says
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:14:04
Yeah, exit the chroot terminal, open a new one, and do "sudo umount /mnt"
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:14:29
Make sure the chroot is exited first, or it's "in use".
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:14:50
yes
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:14:57
I cn see ubuntu@ubuntu
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:15:11
Then type "sudo umount /mnt"
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:16:16
what happens if I reboot without unmounting?
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:16:38
It could potentially cause the same thing as unplugging a flash drive wihtotu ejecting.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:16:49
Filesystem corruption/errors.
TheNH813 2017-02-22 12:16:56
j4f-shredder: If that's not working, type "sudo lsof /mnt" to see what's using it.

yes, I'm having trouble opening the terminal on the live cd
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 12:17:19

wedgie 2017-02-22 12:17:34
shutting down or rebooting should sync all disks. That is what happens to your regular hard drives every time you do so.
