Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

I believe that what it is:

device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-75b328c7\x2d80bd\x2d4ef0\x2db24f\x2d30fcdb2d1e36.device

I got this by eventually getting the netbook to boot into recovery mode and running journalctl -xb to try to trace through what the computer did during boot.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-75b328c7\x2d80bd\x2d4ef0\x2db24f\x2d30fcdb2d1e36.device

Does that match the UUID of any drive on your sytem? (the "\x2d" means "-")

You could post the `journalctl -xb` output in a pastebin.

journalctl -xb > log.txt

will pipe the output to a "log.txt" file that can be exported.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

So I have no clue as to where the

journalctl -xb > log.txt

was put in.

Should the chroot method be done through a live-ISO?

Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

It should have gone into your home directory if that is where your PWD was sitting when you ran the command.
To find it you can do:

whereis log.txt

in the terminal and/or console.

Edit: Anytime I have fonky stuff going on at boot, I check dmesg. Is Debian now setting up journald to work out of the box? I always had to set it up before it would work. Usually had to do stuff the old syslog way that early in an install.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

So I was pretty much on the edge of giving up on trying to get BL working, and so I installed Linux Mint onto my netbook...

Then I decided to install BL alongside it, because hey, why not?

And now, it plays a bit more nicely with my netbook so far... No more hanging on trying to have a job started on the swap UUID; the only issues that I ever run into on boot is now the occasional:

Not quite sure what it means or what I have to do; but hopefully I can iron this issue out somehow.

Re: [Solved] Can't boot without being plugged in.

so is the "Without being plugged in" part now solved, at least partially?
i think we lost sight of that...

Yeah, just going to mark it as solved; I'm probably going to end up trying to modify a different linux distro to function as closely to BL as possible as I really like the aesthetic and minimalism. Needless to say; I don't think I'll completely get rid of it; it's not a bad idea to keep it around as a puzzle to help me unravel the mystery of linux
