[opensuse] My home server (leap 42.3) crashed during a yast online update.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, My home server (Leap 42.3) crashed during a yast online update, and I can't boot it up. I need help diagnosing what happened, but more importantly, how to recover it. The machine is UEFI and _had_ secure boot enabled. I simply get black screen after the bios logo, no grub display. Black, no response to the keyboard that I can see. On my desktop machine I downloaded: "openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Rescue-CD-x86_64-Snapshot20180318-Media.iso" and burned to an usb stick. I managed to boot it up after disabling secure boot. I can't convince YaST to enable the Spanish keyboard. Has no joe nor mc, only "vi" (vi is a pain with US keyboard layout on a Spanish keyboard). Network manager does not respond to clicks (responds once in a time, then goes silent for a minute or two). I had to tell yast to use wicked instead. So I got network, killed the firewall, started ssh, created a root password (1234, if you ask me), and got in via ssh with decent keyboard. The last thing I see on the log (thankfully I had syslog on the machine, I would not know how to read journal of dead system) is os-prober running: /var/log/messages: ... <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.938415+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/10freedos <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.954019+01:00 Isengard 10freedos - - - debug: /dev/sdc1 is not a FAT partition: exiting <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.960368+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/10qnx <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.975764+01:00 Isengard 10qnx - - - debug: /dev/sdc1 is not a QNX4 partition: exiting <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.981400+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20macosx <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:57.994089+01:00 Isengard macosx-prober - - - debug: /dev/sdc1 is not an HFS+ partition: exiting <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.003571+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.020164+01:00 Isengard 20microsoft - - - debug: Skipping legacy bootloaders on UEFI system <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.025907+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/30utility <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.040597+01:00 Isengard 30utility - - - debug: /dev/sdc1 is not a FAT partition: exiting <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.046488+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/40lsb <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.058352+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/70hurd <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.069980+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/80minix <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.084577+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/83haiku <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.099056+01:00 Isengard 83haiku - - - debug: /dev/sdc1 is not a BeFS partition: exiting <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.104596+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.123799+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90solaris <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.135526+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: running subtest /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.177568+01:00 Isengard os-prober - - - debug: running /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests on /dev/sdc2 <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.200879+01:00 Isengard 50mounted-tests - - - debug: /dev/sdc2 is a LUKS partition; skipping <1.5> 2018-03-20T22:27:58.205838+01:00 Isengard os-prober - - - debug: os detected by /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:19.866697+01:00 Isengard dbus 1148 - - [system] Reloaded configuration <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:19.877465+01:00 Isengard dbus-daemon 1148 - - Unknown username "systemd-network" in message bus configuration file <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:19.889628+01:00 Isengard dbus 1148 - - [system] Reloaded configuration <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.385417+01:00 Isengard dbus-daemon 1148 - - Unknown username "systemd-network" in message bus configuration file <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.395558+01:00 Isengard dbus 1148 - - [system] Reloaded configuration <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.401848+01:00 Isengard dbus-daemon 1148 - - Unknown username "systemd-network" in message bus configuration file <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.414031+01:00 Isengard dbus 1148 - - [system] Reloaded configuration <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.579689+01:00 Isengard systemd-sysusers 26699 - - Creating group systemd-network with gid 470. <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.580433+01:00 Isengard systemd-sysusers 26699 - - Creating user systemd-network (systemd Network Management) with uid 470 and gid 470. <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.587314+01:00 Isengard nscd - - - 1129 monitored file `/etc/group` was moved into place, adding watch <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.589487+01:00 Isengard nscd - - - 1129 monitored file `/etc/passwd` was moved into place, adding watch <3.5> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.762900+01:00 Isengard systemd 1 - - Reexecuting. <3.6> 2018-03-20T22:28:20.874619+01:00 Isengard systemd 1 - - systemd 228 running in system mode.

Hi,
My home server (Leap 42.3) crashed during a yast online update, and I can't boot it up. I need help diagnosing what happened, but more importantly, how to recover it.
What do I do to recover this machine?

Boot from a USB device, hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 , login as root, replace 'sdx#' with your 42.3 root device. Then do mount /dev/sdx# /mnt mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc chroot /mnt zypper ref zypper up Just to make sure everything's back in place again, run yast and force a reinstall of the bootloader Question remains, why this happened -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

Thanks. I was thinking on those lines precisely, after having something to eat... :-)
Question remains, why this happened
Indeed. I think it happened before, but not that bad. It did not crash, just did not boot IIRC. Yes, I found the thread: <https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2017-01/msg00569.html>
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 00:12:43 +0100 (CET) Subject: [opensuse] My mini server fails to boot after yast online update
That time it was that "efibootmgr" said that the default boot entry was "opensuse" instead of "opensuse-secureboot". But there is no "opensuse-secureboot" to be seen this time, so the same solution can't work. Trying the "zypper ref" fails, because name solving fails inside the chroot. Ok, solved: normally local dns is on the server being repaired (127.0.0.1). zypper up says 245 packages to update. ... Yast boot module - oops, fails, no valid EFI partition. So I have to mount and bind it first. localhost:/ # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0006 Timeout: 6 seconds BootOrder: 0006,0001,0005,0002,0003,0000 Boot0000 Windows Boot Manager Boot0001* opensuse Boot0002* UEFI: IP4 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Boot0003* UEFI: IP6 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Boot0005* opensuse Boot0006* UEFI: TOSHIBA TransMemory 1.00, Partition 1 localhost:/ # The "opensuse-secureboot" entry has disappeared. I guess I have to setup in the bios first one opensuse, and if it fails, the other. ... It boots in non secure boot mode. Let's try secure boot... (In this machine it is under Advanced, Windows 8/8.1/10 configuration) Secure boot, fails to boot. No error message, just black screen. Another test. On Boot, UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities there are two entries: Boot option #1 opensuse Boot option #2 opensuse I'll select the second one on each. [...] Nope, doesn't boot. Ok, I'll just disable secure boot and live on... Sigh. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

And died, suddenly. Black screen when I looked. The system has a new UPS, so power did not fail.
I determined that the UPS was not connected that instant, it was being replaced. The procedure was going to be: update power off connect new UPS boot on and boot. Boot failed, secure booting was and remains broken. Nevertheless, there was no power failure because the same power strip has other machines: a phone that beeps when power returns, and it did not beep, and a TV recorder that is essentially a very small computer, and it id not reboot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Carlos (or anyone really), what executable did this come from? (1) It looks not good, and (2) I'm having much the same problem as you currently and suspect a missing boot loader is the problem. On 03/20/2018 07:21 PM, Carlos E. R. wrote:

This information is created by a script, "bootinfoscript", currently maintained by Andrei Borzenkov. su - cd ~/bin wget \ "https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript" bootinfoscript It generates RESULTS.txt with a lot of useful information about the boot system. However, in my case the problem was not missing boot loader (MBR not used with EFI loader), but that the EFI code is not signed or the signature is broken and the machine refuses to boot it, or that the code crashes. The symptom is that it does not boot and a blank screen (maybe related to the machine video being HDMI). I had to disable secure boot in the machine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Thanks, Carlos, That script looks great. I'll probably be putting it to further use... but later. As said, I'm having similar boot problems with the same version, but didn't want to hijack your thread. So I'll just start a new one. But before I do even that, I've got another problem to fix first... which I've already posted. Hopefully I'll be back to the boot issue soon. :P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Good! In that thread, attach the RESULTS file, because it saves asking questions ;-)
