[Trisquel-users] So Linux-Libre Kernel 4.7 fails to boot properly
I've already downgraded my kernel back to the Linux-Libre LTS but it was a slightly annoying way to start off my day. The text message on the screen said some weird errors about mdadm and not being able to create groups. Anyway, has anyone else had this glitch? I really don't need to upgrade now and can afford to wait until a patch is released so I'm not super concerned.
[Trisquel-users] I can't seem to find a user-mode-linux package.
I need it to run pbuilder as nonroot.
[Trisquel-users] Is the Universe and Main distinction meaningful in Trisquel?
I noticed that many of the recommended packages depend on Universe packages. Presumably, the distinction between Universe and Main is an artifact of Ubuntu or not as clear as should be simply because the work to do that hasn't been put in yet (which is fine, there's only so much a limited effort can do).
[Trisquel-users] So today I figured out a new way to brick my system
Simply, run the command chmod -R g-rwx,o-rwx /root as root. Of course, I few minutes later I booted back up in with a recovery USB stick and set the permissions back to normal but now I'm curious why would this brick my system?
[Trisquel-users] Are debugging symbols similar to Ubuntu's ddebs planned?
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Debug_Symbol_Packages The reason why I am asking is because the old style debug packages are hacky and bad. For example, the package libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg does not provide debugging symbols for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
The system should really install the bootloader before installing software after minimal so that a basic level of functionality is there in case of an accident.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
So I didn't restart the installer but I did everything manually. Simply, mount the hard drive you have Linux on. mount /dev/sdfoo /mnt Mount special directories mount /dev /mnt/dev mount /proc /mnt/proc mount /sys /mnt/sys Chroot into the mount chroot /mnt Install grub apt-get install grub Install the basic stuff /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdfoo Update the menu.lst file update-grub And you're done

So I tried the unreleased 7.01 version and it works.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
Yeah, my machine has 4GB of space. I suspect the actual reason the kernel crashed was that I booted the machine in legacy mode and the legacy BIOS code wasn't tested with Linux so the kernel mapped special hardware memory as usable memory which caused bad things.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
So for other reasons (EFI support is flaky) I need to redo the above stuff with grub-efi but I also need to install grub-efi first. I need to get some network stuff running so I can do DNS inside the chroot and apt-get can resolve the archives. How do I get the net stuff working as well inside the chroot?

Nope, gNewSense does not appear to work either.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire V 11 Touch fails to boot off a USB LiveInstall
For some reason the workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/55 does not work for me. At the prompt I cannot find a device for my USB stick. The only device found is my harddrive at /dev/sda.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire V 11 Touch fails to boot off a USB LiveInstall
So I finally setup a CD drive and a CD and it doesn't work like it does in the guy's video. First of all it is not recognized in the Boot Manager menu in UEFI mode and second of all it fails with the same Unable to find a medium containing a live file system error in legacy mode.
[Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire V 11 Touch fails to boot off a USB LiveInstall
I can navigate the initial menus of the installer but when I try to go further the system errors out into single user mode. No real filesystems are mounted, the only thing there is the initramfs. I have an error saying that no mountable filesystem could be found. There is no /dev/sdb file that should correspond to my USB stick. In the dmesg there is the following suspicious text. [ 13.468952] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110 [ 24.014678] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110 [ 24.126528] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd [ 39.667308] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 3, error -110 [ 39.779207] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd [ 50.201067] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -110 [ 50.313166] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd [ 60.734697] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 5, error -110 [ 60.734719] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 I know someone has been unable to boot Linux using a CD drive but setting that up would be annoying for me. I'll probably have to do that though. The person who booted Linux on the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWlNAccsBY0 .
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire V 11 Touch fails to boot off a USB LiveInstall
Nevermind. It seems that legacy boot mode was buggy but that UEFI boot mode with secure boot disabled was not buggy and works.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire V 11 Touch fails to boot off a USB LiveInstall
So the problem only appears to affect Ubuntu based distros https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/61 Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian? In any case, I guess I can use GNewsense for now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which packages have the debug symbols for these libraries?
Isn't Trisquel based on Ubuntu and so shouldn't it have dbgsym packages somewhere (Ubuntu did this thing where they automated debug symbol package generation)?
[Trisquel-users] Which packages have the debug symbols for these libraries?
Hello I want to debug a program that I was developing better so I ran
it and checked /proc/${PID}/maps for the libraries it was using.
So far I couldn't find any symbols or debug packages for the following
libraries (apt-cache search udev | grep dbg returns nothing):
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1.5.2
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0.13.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-3.0.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpciaccess.so.0.11.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtxc_dxtn_s2tc.so.0.0.0
I have found debug packages for the following but they don't actually
put a normal entry in /usr/lib/debug (not sure if that actually
matters as entries are still in /usr/lib/debug/.build-id).
libxcb-dri2-0-dbg
