#196918 — Help need in a Debian Based Project

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Dear all,

We at FOSSASIA working on project Meilix (https://github.com/fossasia/meilix <https://github.com/fossasia/meilix>), a Debian based distribution.

We are facing an issue with the OS that it just boots into a blank screen. We documented the errors occurred and the steps performed in the issue #270 <https://github.com/fossasia/meilix/issues/270>.
Meilix is based on 32 bit and we are now trying to convert it into 64 bit. We tried replacing the image file of 32 version with 64 bit, but it actually didn’t work. We documented every step performed in the issue #24 <https://github.com/fossasia/meilix/issues/24>.

It would be great if we get your valuable response regarding the issue.

Thanking You

Tarun Kumar

not clear how your setup looks like, but I would try to enable text mode on
boot and see how far it goes instead "quite" and "splash" set "text"

next thing I would do is pass init=/bin/sh

I had this similar situation many times. You go through the boot process and
find out what is not working. Sometimes it is missing devices under /dev
Sometimes it is a wrong script or missing module, or module not loaded, or
missing library, or missing command.

You need to look into the initrd - your problem is there in the scripts that
build the initrd

Please also note that you are on the debian forum and your screenshot reads
ubuntu

regards

Really? Looking at https://github.com/fossasia/meilix/blob/master/sources.list
I see no mention of Debian at all (unless you count "deb"):

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial restricted main multiverse universe

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

#Lubuntu Repository
#deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-desktop/ppa/ubuntu xenial main

It might be worth trying the ubuntu forums.

Cheers,

This the brainless ubuntu generation, but they tend to document extensively.
I admired it. I wish I could have such team members.

My totally unhumble opinion on anything like this is that.. once a
completely different team of developers puts their tweaks all over a
base product, that kind of puts any questions about that product into
the hands of that secondary team of developers.

Maybe yes, maybe no, but those secondary tweaks may be the root cause
of whatever is occurring. It seems logical to start an inquiry
there... and then move back up the food chain after all possible
causatives have been ruled out by the last creative Minds that touched
a product before it hit the cyber shelves....

Ditto on the documentation. They've got it going on when it comes to
hitting the front page of web searches.. #hsfmodem *COUGH!*
