Thanks for the fast reply, I'm away from that computer for the next few
hours . . .


Anything in /var/crash? Did you try reporting?

I did look at some logs I think when I was able to get into Leap . . . but
for sure I didn't look at /var/crash . . . but I have clicked "send report"
numerous times when I was logging into Lu & U-MATE . . . .

I'll look into this, likely tomorrow . . . I have done the "pastebin"
process, but it has been awhile . . . can't remember if I have "apport"
re-installed in Lu 19.10 yet.

A "grub" list appears, but it is essentially now set for Lu eoan, so I
can't scroll/arrow through the list, although this am I just booted the
unit and I was able to use Grub as "normal" . . . but on several reboots
after that, using alt/option, not using it . . . Grub is "stuck" . . . and
couldn't use the "e" key or "tab" . . . .

Seems like one of them has been "wiped" . . . but two or three versions
show as "having data" in gparted . . . but, when I pulled all of the drives
were pulled out I was able to boot into an OSX installer flash drive, got
the Disk Utility, then slid the SSD drive with the now "vanished" OSX
system, to try to "repair disk" but, it wouldn't show up . . . and then
further problems when I tried to run an install into that disk . . .

I'll try to run "lsblk" later and report back.

[lubuntu-users] Donate to Lubuntu

2019-06-27 Thread Walter Lapchynski
Today we are excited to announce, after a long, long time coming, that
you can [donate to Lubuntu][1] and that includes buying merchandise!!

[As we announced on the blog][2], we've got Patreon, Liberapay, PayPal,
and Teespring all set up. Funds will go towards infrastructure costs,
conferences, and, with luck, funding development of Lubuntu. 

We will be transparently sharing the accounting. More info on that to
come.

You don't need to throw us hundreds of dollars. Set up a small $1/month
contribution on Patreon or buy a sticker. Every little bit helps. That's
how we make Lubuntu better together!

Can you get to GRUB at all?

 or back to Leap to see if somehow

Is one of the OS X options removed or all of them? What does `lsblk`
tell you?

[lubuntu-users] Error: "system program problem" . . . report now?

2019-06-27 Thread Fritz Hudnut
Folks:

Been having some "problems" in my multi-boot set up running a few different
versions of OSX with a few versions of linux . . . grub seems to have lost
the ability to select from among the choices in spite of running
"update-grub" a number of times . . . .

But, in both of the ubuntu systems I have recently re-installed, Lubuntu
19.10 and U-MATE 18.04 . . . when logging in I get an error saying "system
program problem" . . . "report now" or "cancel" . . . but it doesn't offer
a "show details" drop down arrow to take a look at . . . the details.

Running synaptic "fix dependencies" . . . it appears to "do something" but
it doesn't show any details . . . running "-f install" . . . also doesn't
appear to show anything.

The dsmeg?? window seems to show "initramfs unpacking failed" . . . but,
then it will load the GUI . . . right now I can only get into Lubuntu . . .
.

A week or so back I had some issues in Leap 15.1 where a kernel update
seemed to "break" nouveau and caused problems with grub, which I got help
to add "nomodeset" into the grub listing for Leap . . . and then I added
nvidia drivers . . . seemed to help over there, but, now seemingly there is
again an issue in ubuntu?  But, now I can't scroll through grub to get to
other options or back to Leap to see if somehow "nomodeset" is causing
conflict across the system . . . .

The OSX options will not show up, and seemingly one of them has been
wiped?  Anyway, this question is to find out if there is a way to "see"
what the "system program problem" might be?  The GUI error window isn't
providing that data, whereas it seemed like in the past error windows would
show some details to "give a clue"??
