[02:33] Hi all! Has anyone here ever dealt with, or heard of, an Asus mobo not recognizing USB drives (trying to boot from one)? [02:35] 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. [02:37] well, i've heard of bad hardware..... [02:37] I've enabled legacy support and disabled secure boot. [02:38] lol, well the usb was recognized in Windows, and the mobo seems to work since it boots windows from the ssd [02:38] 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] mobo working doesn't mean the usb bus and/or usb port and/or usb drive actually works [02:39] although the usb being recognized is somewhat telling [02:42] I did take a look at the mobo manual, the documentation within the bios was more verbose. [02:44] 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. [02:45] 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? [02:47] maybe, I was hoping to not have to do that. To be honest, I think it's really a pebcak issue [02:48] i mean is it an option in the bios settings? [02:51] 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. [02:52] 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] that might work [02:52] the isos are cdroms essentially [02:53] oops, almost saved and exited without turning of secure boot, lol [02:56] nope, no dice :-( This is becoming a real head scratcher. [02:56] you should update the bios [02:56] wxl, I appreciate you entertaining my dillema btw [02:56] heh np [02:57] 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 [02:58] I asked in ##linux, though no one responded ;-( Though I didn't mention the model and bios version, I'll give it another shot. [02:59] also try #ubuntu [02:59] i mean the more you can spread things out the better [02:59] hell try #freenode (j/k; they'll probably tell you to go away) [02:59] Although, you should google 'how to update bios' and see what comes up (it made me chuckle anyway) [03:00] aw hail no [03:00] 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] seems like it :) [03:02] haha, well I just went from 9 to 10, so I don't feel too old just yet! [03:02] XD [03:03] * wxl checks and is relieved to find he's still at 8 XD [03:04] Lol, rub it in why don't you! [03:05] well, i haven't hit official mid-life crisis age, at least according to wikipedia [03:05] i'm CLOSE though :) [03:06] 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] Best $200 laptop I've ever bought [03:07] right now i'm looking at one of my two screens and it's 24" running at 1920x1080 [03:10] well i'm off. good luck [03:11] 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] ty, have a good night [07:31] Does anybody know what Ctrl+E does in pacmanfm ? It says "Filtering" but I can't figure it out === ChunkzZ is now known as FatB0yy
