A lot of lines appear on my screen (check the picture). I tried to reinstall and it works, until I update the system. I need your help and I must say I’m not too good with computers. You can ask me more info and I’ll try to give you the info.
Thanks a lot !
Can you boot from a previous kernel to see if that works? At the start menu you should see a line “Advanced options for OpenMandria LX”. If you choose it you will get a list of old kernels to boot.
It may be a different problem but I’m also about to report a similar problem. I also did all updates. I tried to configured my nvidia video card to use the proprietary driver. Then after reboot, the graphics was out. Then I tried XFdrake at the recovery boot to go back to nouveau. XFdrake had a problem with “undefined monitor” but nouveau was back. Then, already in graphical mode, I tried to configure the video card again and, at reboot the system refused to start even in the recovery mode!
However, after a few hours off, the computer started again as if nothing had happened!
It looks like it can not find the partition to boot from. Can you boot a live CD and run “blkid” as root to find out which partition has the UUID it can not find?
So it looks like it is having trouble with /dev/sda5 which is swap and /dev/sda7. Do you know which partition if your / partition. You should be able to mount /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 in live mode and have a look. If it is /dev/sda6 then you could comment out swap and UUID=a7b765fd-3274-4367-9b55-74211935f73d from fstab and see if it boots.
At some point it would be good to run the fsck on both /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 to see if either need repairs. This will have to be done from a live CD with the partition not mounted.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=a7b765fd-3274-4367-9b55-74211935f73d / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=ef0f4bf7-b753-4b7b-89b3-e5e9ed8607e3 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
I commented the lines
UUID=a7b765fd-3274-4367-9b55-74211935f73d / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=ef0f4bf7-b753-4b7b-89b3-e5e9ed8607e3 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
with # and rebooted but I still get the same errors when the computer starts.
I ran fsck on the 2 partitions and here is the return of the commands :
[root@localhost live]# fsck /dev/sda6
fsck de util-linux 2.28
e2fsck 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016)
/dev/sda6 : propre, 4080/4161536 fichiers, 972607/16640856 blocs
[root@localhost live]# fsck /dev/sda7
fsck de util-linux 2.28
e2fsck 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016)
/dev/sda7 : propre, 185089/788416 fichiers, 1675897/3148396 blocs
So I guess everything is ok. Do you have any other ideas ?
thanks for your help.
edit ~rugyada Please post your code as code in order to avoid the
#big bold text
given by the # at the beginning of the first line.
So you can not comment out the line for / as it will be need to boot. Can you mount that partition while running the live CD? If so do a ls -l /mount point/boot/initrd-desktop.img and ls -l /mount point/boot/vmlinuz-desktop. You may have to make a new initrd-desktop file.
Have you changed anything in the file /etc/systemd/journald.conf. It could be the cause of the Journal Service not starting. You may want to move that file to somewhere else and boot the machine. It should use the defaults then.
In the file etc/fstab, there were only 2 lines :
UUID=a7b765fd-3274-4367-9b55-74211935f73d / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=ef0f4bf7-b753-4b7b-89b3-e5e9ed8607e3 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
I edited them after launching the live install(in my case a live USB) and did put # in front of them then restarted the system. I get the same error.
I will restart the live USB, do a ls -l /mount point/boot/initrd-desktop.img and ls -l /mount point/boot/vmlinuz-desktop. I will make a new initrd-desktop file.
To be completely honest I’m not too good with computers, so I hope I will do it the right way.
Just one more thing that I repeat (sorry if I did it too much) but the problem comes from an update. I don’t know which one. I tried to reinstall 3 times, and everything works well until I do the updates. Is there a way to know which update cause the problem, so I can reinstall, avoid doing this update and maybe post a bugreport ?
Thanks anyway clb I really appreciate what you do !
I am not sure without doing each update separately if there is a way to figure out which one it is. That was the reason I asked if you tried on old kernel. I noticed on my machine that the initrd file for the new kernel was missing so I had to create a new one, but since it booted with the old kernel I doubt this is the issue. I am running out of ideas. May need someone else with more knowledge to help you out.
just to add that I first had the problem while having kernel 4.8.6. I waited some days to reinstall and it was the kernel 4.8.12 that was installed but the problem was the same.
Each time I installed, I tried to start with the 1st kernel 4.6.5, but I had the same error all the time.
I will now try to do do a ls -l /mount point/boot/initrd-desktop.img and ls -l /mount point/boot/vmlinuz-desktop. And I give you the result.
Are any testing repos enabled? To see what packages were updated when:
$ rpm -qa --last | more
Edit: What you need is the list of packages updated at the day/time problem occurred.
Edit 2: How are you updating? With Discover? Or OMCC>Update your System or from command line?
Thanks guys for your help !
Ben79, you ask What you need is the list of packages updated at the day/time problem occurred.
How to get that list ? As my OpenMandriva doesn’t start, should I reinstall it ? The same for the command line you ask me to type, I should reinstall or there is a way to be able to typ e them in the install where I get error messages ?
And to answer the other question I always update from command libe, typing urpmi --auto-update
Yes, that is exactly what I would do. Reinstall and stop at the point where it is still working. Don’t update system. Then you can provide the requested info.
To get the list of packages it would update run:
# urpmi -v --auto-update --test
and copy and paste the output to a file. Save the file to pastebin or a similar service and post a link to it here.
Also what is the URL for mirror you use for updates or do you use mirror list?
Since you haven’t said it is assumed you have a x86_64 system.
If you have x86_64 hardware use the x86_64 .iso. Only use i586 if you have hardware that can’t possibly run a 64 bit system.
Another thing to consider for a reinstall is to try the Lx 3.01 .iso which is a respin of Lx 3.0 with updated packages.
Thanks for your help. Sorry I didn’t mention it but I have a 32 bits laptop, so I use i586 version of OMV.
I will reinstall and give you the output.
Is there a link for OMV Lx 3.01 for i586. I can’t find it.
$ urpmi -v --auto-update --test
