| SkaMan814 | Hi all! Has anyone here ever dealt with, or heard of, an Asus mobo not recognizing USB drives (trying to boot from one)? | 02:33 |
|---|---|---|
| SkaMan814 | I've installed linux multiple times on several laptops, and I also have an Xubuntu server with a 3 disk ZFS pool which we connect to with sshfs and smb. I can't for the life of me figure out why my brothers mobo bios isn't showing the usb drive as a boot option. | 02:35 |
| wxl | well, i've heard of bad hardware..... | 02:37 |
| SkaMan814 | I've enabled legacy support and disabled secure boot. | 02:37 |
| SkaMan814 | lol, well the usb was recognized in Windows, and the mobo seems to work since it boots windows from the ssd | 02:38 |
| wxl | i'd probably search the manufacturer's manual and see if you can get any idea from that. there may be is some special switch or something | 02:38 |
| wxl | mobo working doesn't mean the usb bus and/or usb port and/or usb drive actually works | 02:38 |
| wxl | although the usb being recognized is somewhat telling | 02:39 |
| SkaMan814 | I did take a look at the mobo manual, the documentation within the bios was more verbose. | 02:42 |
| SkaMan814 | just for shits and giggles, I turned secure boot back on and booted up winblows. It's still recognizing the usb and letting me browse the files. | 02:44 |
| wxl | i'd say maybe you did the copy bad, but then it would just fail to boot. the problem is you're not seeing it as a boot option. maybe you should upgrade the bios? could be an error? | 02:45 |
| SkaMan814 | maybe, I was hoping to not have to do that. To be honest, I think it's really a pebcak issue | 02:47 |
| wxl | i mean is it an option in the bios settings? | 02:48 |
| SkaMan814 | Well, I've been searching the Bio settings for about an hour looking. So, if I go to the USB Configuration, it shows both flash drives that are plugged in. | 02:51 |
| SkaMan814 | There's an 'emulation type' option that I can set. I tried setting them both on Auto and HDD, to no avail. I'll see if emulating them as CD-Rom works | 02:52 |
| wxl | that might work | 02:52 |
| wxl | the isos are cdroms essentially | 02:52 |
| SkaMan814 | oops, almost saved and exited without turning of secure boot, lol | 02:53 |
| SkaMan814 | nope, no dice :-( This is becoming a real head scratcher. | 02:56 |
| wxl | you should update the bios | 02:56 |
| SkaMan814 | wxl, I appreciate you entertaining my dillema btw | 02:56 |
| wxl | heh np | 02:56 |
| wxl | another thought: try ##linux and see if there's anyone else around that maybe has a similar problem. perhaps if you call out the specific model (and perhaps the bios version) someone might be able to say something about it | 02:57 |
| SkaMan814 | I asked in ##linux, though no one responded ;-( Though I didn't mention the model and bios version, I'll give it another shot. | 02:58 |
| wxl | also try #ubuntu | 02:59 |
| wxl | i mean the more you can spread things out the better | 02:59 |
| wxl | hell try #freenode (j/k; they'll probably tell you to go away) | 02:59 |
| SkaMan814 | Although, you should google 'how to update bios' and see what comes up (it made me chuckle anyway) | 02:59 |
| wxl | aw hail no | 03:00 |
| SkaMan814 | Lol, I thought I was in #Ubuntu Please don't tell me I'm at an age where I need to turn the font size up everywhere! | 03:00 |
| wxl | seems like it :) | 03:00 |
| SkaMan814 | haha, well I just went from 9 to 10, so I don't feel too old just yet! | 03:02 |
| wxl | XD | 03:02 |
| * wxl checks and is relieved to find he's still at 8 XD | 03:03 | |
| SkaMan814 | Lol, rub it in why don't you! | 03:04 |
| wxl | well, i haven't hit official mid-life crisis age, at least according to wikipedia | 03:05 |
| wxl | i'm CLOSE though :) | 03:05 |
| SkaMan814 | In my defense, I'm on a 1080p 13" screen. I got an Acer chromebook the other day and decided to try GalliumOS on it (Xubuntu with the proprietary touchpad drivers) | 03:06 |
| SkaMan814 | Best $200 laptop I've ever bought | 03:06 |
| wxl | right now i'm looking at one of my two screens and it's 24" running at 1920x1080 | 03:07 |
| wxl | well i'm off. good luck | 03:10 |
| SkaMan814 | I used to have two 24" panels, I miss that setup. I got rid of them when I moved from Hawaii. Then here in PA I got a 40" 4k tv as a monitor. The screen real estate is great, but it gives me migraines, unless I wear my dorky blue blockers | 03:11 |
| SkaMan814 | ty, have a good night | 03:11 |
| egy | Does anybody know what Ctrl+E does in pacmanfm ? It says "Filtering" but I can't figure it out | 07:31 |
