| hyper_ch | Hi there, I noticed something strange. I did download the ubuntu mini iso for wily and wanted to do an install because I want to have a raid1 with 1 disk on my notebook. However it has issues with my intel gigabit ethernet and I had to attach an ancient usb wifi stick. However the problem I couldn't solve was that it did not detect my SSD. | 15:39 |
| hyper_ch | I tried then the same with current utopic mini iso. Same issues with wifi and again no SSD detected. I went to a different tty and check /dev/disk/by-id and only the usb stick was there | 15:39 |
| hyper_ch | any suggestion? | 15:40 |
| penguin42 | it's odd not to detect an ssd | 15:40 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: How is the ssd connected - just normal ssd? | 15:41 |
| hyper_ch | penguin42: samsung 840 pro attached on the notebook's internal sata 3 connector | 15:41 |
| hyper_ch | Sysinfo for 'subi': Running inside KDE Plasma 5 on Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) powered by Linux 3.19.0-22-generic, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz at 998-1656/2600 MHz, RAM: 4781/15489 MB, Storage: 355/469 GB, 259 procs, 0.11h up | 15:41 |
| hyper_ch | so I'm pondering to try the server install and then just add kubuntu-desktop | 15:42 |
| hyper_ch | but what else is changed in the server edition? | 15:42 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: OK, so hmm, so if you can get a shell on the mini iso I'd check cat /proc/partitions to see if the ssd is showing up that far, and also check lspci to see if the ether and sata controllers are visible | 15:42 |
| hyper_ch | penguin42: feeling like to troubleshoot it? if so, I boot up the other notebook and re-try... otherwise I might give the server edition a try | 15:43 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: I'm around, so feel free to ask | 15:43 |
| hyper_ch | ok, let's boot up the other notebook | 15:44 |
| hyperch | so, almost ready regarding the missing ssd | 15:52 |
| penguin42 | good | 15:54 |
| hyperch | veracrypt takes long to load | 15:54 |
| hyperch | it's doing hardware detection | 15:55 |
| hyperch | so, selected manual partitioning -> only the usb stick is shown | 15:56 |
| hyperch | ok, am in terminal, what should I check? | 15:56 |
| hyperch | lspci and /proc/partitions ? | 15:56 |
| penguin42 | cat /proc/partitions | 15:56 |
| hyperch | penguin42: only sda and sda1 listed which is the usb stick | 15:57 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: OK, can you do an lspci now and see if you can see the sata controller and ether controller? | 15:57 |
| hyperch | well, it did detect the ethernet (but not internal wifi) but couldn't get dhcp connection | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | ok, is the sata controller there? | 15:59 |
| hyperch | as for sata: SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series SATA Controller (AHCI mode) (rev 04) | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | hmm good, ok, then dmesg to search for messages from the sata controller | 16:00 |
| hyperch | also: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd RTL111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 16:00 |
| hyperch | and: Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 | 16:00 |
| penguin42 | excellent | 16:00 |
| hyperch | but installer didn't show internal wifi at all | 16:01 |
| hyperch | dmesg | grep -i sata | 16:01 |
| penguin42 | if you can pastebin the dmesg it might help | 16:01 |
| hyperch | ACPI: SSDT 0xa-lot-of-hex 000313 v01 hpqoem sataahci 00001000 intl 20110112 | 16:01 |
| hyperch | ahci 000:00:1f.2: ahci 0001.0300 32 slots 2 ports 6 gpbs 0x1 impl sata mode | 16:02 |
| hyperch | ata1: sata max udma/133 abar m2048@0xHEX... port 0xHEX.... irg 46 | 16:02 |
| penguin42 | best to pastebin | 16:03 |
| hyperch | ata 1 SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300) | 16:03 |
| hyperch | how to pastebin? | 16:03 |
| hyperch | ata1: limit sata link speed to 3.0 gbps | 16:03 |
| penguin42 | do you have networking? | 16:03 |
| hyperch | can't install pastebinit | 16:03 |
| hyperch | yes, networking works with the usb wifi | 16:04 |
| penguin42 | hmm pastebinit was what I was going to suggest | 16:04 |
| hyperch | it's mini install cd shell | 16:04 |
| hyperch | apt-get: not found ;) | 16:04 |
| hyperch | but I have another way | 16:06 |
| hyperch | http://images.sjau.ch/img/37e8dfb4.jpg | 16:07 |
| hyperch | penguin42: git it? | 16:08 |
| hyperch | got | 16:08 |
| hyperch | I'll try with server cd now | 16:09 |
| * penguin42 looks | 16:11 | |
| penguin42 | hyperch: Problem is it doesn't have the rest of the log | 16:12 |
| hyperch | well, what else to grep for? | 16:12 |
| hyperch | problem is I can't pastebin the file | 16:12 |
| hyperch | I can only take pics | 16:12 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: Can you get the whole of dmesg off by copying it to a usb stick? | 16:12 |
| hyperch | I could do that | 16:13 |
| hyperch | lets see how server acts | 16:13 |
| penguin42 | I mean that all looks good, it sees a sata controller | 16:13 |
| hyperch | no dhcp either on internal ethernet card | 16:14 |
| hyperch | intel wireless not recognized | 16:14 |
| hyperch | need again external wifi stick | 16:15 |
| hyperch | this is weird.... server didn't recognize either | 16:18 |
| penguin42 | that doesn't surprise me; if it's a kernel driver problem it's probably the same kernel | 16:19 |
| hyperch | well, trying to get the dmesg onto a stick | 16:20 |
| hyperch | but can't figre out hw | 16:20 |
| hyperch | copy syslog?7 | 16:21 |
| penguin42 | well if you've got the stick mounted then just do dmesg > /path/to/the/stick | 16:21 |
| hyperch | brb | 16:22 |
| hyper_ch | penguin42: hmmm, could the current raid1 setup be an issue | 16:25 |
| hyper_ch | pasting now | 16:25 |
| hyper_ch | penguin42: https://paste.debian.net/261923/ | 16:26 |
| hyper_ch | lines 761-774 look weird | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: Can you explain your raid1 setup? | 16:34 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: 648etc explain why your wifi isn't working - it's missing the firmware package | 16:36 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: And yes, 761-774 show your problem - it's found the controller but it's failing to perform the most basic sata commands on the drive | 16:38 |
| penguin42 | hyper_ch: So file a kernel bug for it | 16:47 |
| hyperch | penguin42: so, back again | 16:50 |
| hyperch | did you write anything? | 16:50 |
| hyperch | I tried to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda to get rid of the partition stuff | 16:51 |
| hyperch | and then I tried the mini again, still not recognized | 16:51 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: It looks like a kernel bug, just file it | 16:51 |
| hyperch | so now I'm dd-ing backup my previous backup | 16:51 |
| hyperch | penguin42: problem is same happened with utopic also | 16:51 |
| hyperch | s/dd-ing/dcfldd-ing/ | 16:51 |
| hyperch | and I did install utopic from beta mini | 16:52 |
| hyperch | file at ubuntu's launchpad? or linux kernel? | 16:52 |
| penguin42 | ubuntu launchpad | 16:53 |
| hyperch | hmmm, I wonder now how I can convert from ext4 to btrfs | 16:53 |
| penguin42 | oh I think there is a converter for that, haven't tried btrfs for a while | 16:53 |
| hyperch | it's encrypted raid1 | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | encrypted by what? | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | standard luks ? | 16:54 |
| hyperch | yes | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | ok, that's not related then since it's not got as far as finding the underlying disk | 16:55 |
| hyperch | -> /boot is just raid1 and / is encrypted raid1 (dmcrypt, mdadm) and no swap | 16:55 |
| penguin42 | hang on, you say raid1 - if it's only missing your ssd, where is your other half of your raid? | 16:59 |
| hyperch | it's raid1 with 1 disk usually | 16:59 |
| hyperch | I think I'll try again with 15.04 server image and then do upgrade to wily.... let's see if that works | 17:02 |
| penguin42 | so where is your disk? | 17:03 |
| hyperch | it's the ssd in the notebook | 17:03 |
| hyperch | but when I make hotcopies, I attach a usb 3.0 disk | 17:03 |
| hyperch | expand the raid to 2 devices | 17:03 |
| hyperch | let it sink | 17:03 |
| hyperch | mark the external disk faulty | 17:04 |
| hyperch | shrink raid again to 1 device | 17:04 |
| hyperch | s/sink/sync/ | 17:04 |
| penguin42 | oh ok, weird way of doing it, but ok | 17:05 |
| hyperch | why weird? that way I don't have to power the notebook off | 17:06 |
| * penguin42 tends to backup using the files rather than the disk, but it's ok | 17:08 | |
| hyperch | if I do a server install, what is different from when I do a minimal install and then select kubuntu-desktop or from the desktop cd? | 17:08 |
| hyperch | well, the goal of doing it that way would be, that if your harddisk in the computer fails, you can just boot from the external backed up disk | 17:09 |
| hyperch | stil have a few grub issues to sort out but gneerally it works | 17:09 |
| penguin42 | yeh, it's not that bad a way | 17:09 |
| hyperch | grub starts fine but it sort of complains then... haven't found out the reason yet :) | 17:09 |
| penguin42 | yeh it'll probably be because it's expecting it to be on the bios disk | 17:14 |
| hyperch | penguin42: http://paste.debian.net/261941/ | 17:15 |
| hyperch | trying now with ubuntu server 15.04 | 17:17 |
| hyperch | now I can't get wifi connection :( | 17:22 |
| hyperch | but ethernet works and ssd gets detected | 17:31 |
| hyperch | penguin42: that was now a fight... | 17:52 |
| penguin42 | so 15.04 sees the ssd but 15.10 doesn't ? | 17:53 |
| hyperch | well, the server cd from 15.04 sees the ssd... | 17:54 |
| hyperch | while 15.10 doesn't see it at all (neither server nor minimal) | 17:54 |
| hyperch | I'll test with 15.04 minimal in a bit | 17:54 |
| hyperch | well, my main reasons for the pain is change to btrfs and make /boot non-raid and also to get systemd 220 :) | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: You can do things like find exactly which kernel version broke it | 17:55 |
| hyperch | I mean what else is there to do on a hot sunny summer's day :) | 17:55 |
| hyperch | how would I find the exact kernel version? I will upgrade the 15.04 then 15.10 | 17:56 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ that's got a range of kernel versions - you find which one works, which one doesn't - once you've filed a bug, if you're lucky they'll walk you through it | 17:57 |
| penguin42 | hyperch: If you can build kernels you can use git bisect to find the exact code change | 17:57 |
| hyperch | that sounds scary :) | 17:57 |
| hyperch | hmmm, ubuntu server has also nice tasksel for openssh and kubuntu desktop | 17:58 |
| hyperch | maybe I have used ubuntu server install back in april | 17:58 |
| hyperch | no need to test the mini iso then but I can straight go ahead upgrade to 15.10 when I'm done | 17:59 |
| hyperch | as for the upgrade, I'd just alter the sources.list to wily and do dist-upgrade or is there a better option? | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | hyperch, 15.10 alpha image is released | 17:59 |
| hyperch | BluesKaj: as told before in #kubuntu, the installer doesn't find my ssd | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | ok , didn't realize it was the 15.10 verson | 18:00 |
| hyperch | no worries :) | 18:01 |
| hyperch | penguin42 thinks it's the kernel's fault | 18:01 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: dmesg shows it's finding the controller and spits a bunch of errors when trying to send the first command to the drive | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | penguin42, still on the mini cd? | 18:09 |
| hyperch | BluesKaj: errors were both on mini and server for 15.10 | 18:10 |
| hyperch | doing now install on 15.04 and will then upgrade | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | hope that works for you hyperch | 18:13 |
| hyperch | well, can't even boot the 15.04 install | 18:13 |
| hyperch | this is weird | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | how far do you get? | 18:14 |
| hyperch | well, I installed it | 18:14 |
| hyperch | but it just keeps rebooting | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | when booting | 18:14 |
| hyperch | not even sure if it gets to grub | 18:14 |
| hyperch | I set /boot to btrfs | 18:15 |
| hyperch | and / is encrypted raid1 with btrfs | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | try the tty/vt, grub might be 0 hidden time out | 18:16 |
| hyperch | (on my backup I have /boot as raid1 ext4 and / as raid1 ext4 | 18:16 |
| hyperch | how to try that tty? | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | ctl+alt+F1-F6 | 18:16 |
| hyperch | when? it just keeps rebooting | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | uhoh | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | at he blinking cursor | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | the | 18:17 |
| hyperch | no tty opens | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | btrfs...why? my understanding is that file system is unstable and buggy | 18:19 |
| hyperch | snapshotting | 18:19 |
| hyperch | probably can do on /boot without | 18:19 |
| hyperch | let's do another install :) | 18:19 |
| hyperch | it's a grub issue | 18:20 |
| hyperch | I entered the 15.04 server usb stick... and forgot to press to boot from it... now I ended up at the luks password entry screen | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | not familar territory for me, so not much help from this user :/ | 18:22 |
| hyperch | seems that grub go installed onto the usb stick instead of the ssd | 18:22 |
| hyperch | opening konsole sudo grub-install /dev/sda fixed the issue :) | 18:23 |
| hyperch | downloading now wily packages | 18:27 |
| hyperch | only 400mb | 18:27 |
| hyperch | ok, upgrade done with a few hiccups.. now lets see if it reboots | 18:50 |
| hyperch | ok, I'm back in | 18:51 |
| hyper_ch | so, restoring files and configs and stuff | 19:24 |
| hyper_ch | kernel seems to work fine... still curious why I couldn't install with it | 19:24 |
