📀 Installation instructions - PNetLab v6 BETA release
⚠️ Read the full instructions and important notes before starting the process. After you finish reading them, follow the process step by step.
Step 1
Download the Ubuntu Server 20.04 ISO and install the OS on a VM or bare metal.
Step 2
Run the installation script as root (copy-paste the full thing):
curl -sL https://labhub.eu.org/api/raw/?path=/UNETLAB%20I/upgrades_pnetlab/Focal/install_pnetlab_v6.sh | bash
After the installation script finishes running, reboot the server.
ℹ️ Important notes
- Make sure to enable Virtualization on your system BIOS and make sure your hardware supports nested virtualization.
Check if you meet the requirements by running:
grep -cw vmx /proc/cpuinfo
Check if KVM was installed correctly after the installation script finishes running:
kvm-ok
- When installed on GCP, skip the setup wizard by pressing CTRL + C after the first reboot and if you're tired of having to do that at every login, ask how to disable in this chat.
⚠️ Remember this version is still on beta so you might encounter bugs and unfinished features.

I solved it by following these steps:
1- Restart the virtual machine from the VMware controls or Power-off and start again.
2- As soon as you see it light up (the VMware loading screen), click inside the screen and hold down the Shift key or repeatedly press the Esc key to force the GRUB menu to appear.
3- Make sure you are selecting the first option in the list (usually the normal Ubuntu kernel) and press the "e" key to edit the boot lines.
4- Look for a long line that begins with the word linux (it might say something like linux /vmlinuz-... root=/dev/... ro quiet splash).
5- You'll see several lines of code. Use the arrow keys to scroll down until you find one that begins with the word "linux". It will look something like this:
linux /vmlinuz-xxx-generic root=/dev/mapper/xxx ro quiet splash
6- Delete the words "quiet splash" (if they appear there) and write exactly the following, leaving a space after what was already written:
init=/bin/bash
The final part of that block should look something like this:
... net.ifnames=0 vga=788 $vt_handoff init=/bin/bash
7- Once you have typed init=/bin/bash at the end of the Linux line, press the Ctrl + X key combination (or the F10 key).
The system will load a terminal directly, ending with a # symbol. It will not ask for a username or password, and the reboot loop will be completely paused.
8- Once inside that black-background terminal, type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter:
To remount the hard drive with write permissions:
mount -o remount,rw /
If the previous command generate some error like "EXT4-fs (dm-0): Couldn't remount RDWR because of unprocessed orphan inode list." send the next command:
To force file system repair
fsck -y /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
And try again the command, verifying there's no errors:
mount -o remount,rw /
To delete the corrupted and locked MySQL logs:
rm -f /var/lib/mysql/ib_lo
