| lubot | <ancha41> Why some application detected my Lubuntu as "Ubuntu"? | 04:42 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @ancha41 [Why some application detected my Lubuntu as "Ubuntu"?], Lubuntu is built on a rock-solid Ubuntu base. | 04:55 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> So while we do a lot of customization, at the core it's an Ubuntu system. | 04:55 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Hello folks | 12:59 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I just installed Lubuntu 18.10 but now my SSD disappeared from BIOS boot order | 13:00 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/gkkOr7q.jpg | 13:00 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I guess I should not panic | 13:00 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> RIGHT? | 13:00 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> my pc is telling me: ... `No bootable device -- Please restart system` | 13:02 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I found some stuff online about this error but it mentions UEFI and secure boot. This is not my case, in fact the problem is manifesting on a Acer Aspire 4810 from 2009 | 13:05 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/0EQdwYI.jpg | 13:09 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> although both hard drives are correctly detected | 13:09 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [although both hard drives are correctly detected], It' s a UEFI installation? | 14:23 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> no | 14:23 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], go to security tab and check if legacy boot is enabled | 14:25 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> let me show you there is no legacy boot | 14:25 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> the whole computer is a legacy machine 😆 | 14:26 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/XCVy58v.jpg | 14:27 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [the whole computer is a legacy machine 😆], do you remember if you have changed the partition of grub installation? (it must be /dev/sda by default) | 14:27 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> it should be, let me double check booting from the usb again | 14:28 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [it should be, let me double check booting from the usb again], I don't know if boot-repair PPA is ready for 18.10 version. It' s a GUI tool to recover your GRUB and can be installed on Live USB | 14:29 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I recall I installed the boot loader on /dev/sda | 14:39 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> trying to install again, will let you know. thanks for replying | 14:44 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [I recall I installed the boot loader on /dev/sda], Boot the live USB to try the grub-install command | 14:48 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> From qterminal, type `sudo fdisk -l` | 14:48 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> ok no luck | 14:55 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> @leandroramos [From qterminal, type sudo fdisk -l], how do I get into there? | 14:56 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [how do I get into there?], you can type "terminal" in menu | 14:56 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> oh sorry I didn't make it clear. I cannot even log into Lubuntu | 14:57 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [oh sorry I didn't make it clear. I cannot even log into Lubuntu], Log into live USB? | 14:57 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> oh, right | 14:57 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> We will try 3 commands with live USB terminal | 14:58 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> ok i'm ready | 15:07 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> @leandroramos [From qterminal, type sudo fdisk -l], should I start with this? | 15:07 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [should I start with this?], yes | 15:08 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> Let me see the result | 15:08 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> shall we switch to pvt? | 15:08 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [shall we switch to pvt?], It's better to do it here, so we can help the others | 15:09 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> o | 15:09 |

| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], sda is the disk where you're installing lubuntu? | 15:13 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> yeah | 15:13 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> i've got 1804 in sda1 and 1810 in sda2 | 15:13 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [i've got 1804 in sda1 and 1810 in sda2], Right. your boot partition is /dev/sda2 (the flag * on boot column). ... We will mount that partition with the command `sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt` | 15:15 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> Next step - install grub in the mounted partition: ... `sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda` | 15:16 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> ok | 15:18 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> `lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt ... lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda ... Installing for i386-pc platform. .. | 15:20 |
| lubot | . Installation finished. No error reported.` | 15:20 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2/mnt ... lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo grub …], Right. Now reboot | 15:21 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> ok | 15:21 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> no luck | 15:22 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> still no bootable device | 15:22 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/f8EQdBoD/file_4276.mp4 | 15:22 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/buqI34Xi/file_4277.mp4 | 15:24 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [still no bootable device], maybe some bios configuration | 15:25 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> i tried that, let me go through that again now | 15:25 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> thank anyway | 15:25 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [thanks anyway], You can try the same steps on 18.04 partition too, then the grub will be generate from there | 15:27 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @leandroramos [You can try the same steps on 18.04 partition too, then the grub will be generat …], switching from sda2 to (probably) sdb1 | 15:28 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [thanks anyway], With a 18.04 live USB, yout can use this GUI tool: ... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/11/install-boot-repair-ppa-fix-boot-problems/ | 15:32 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> @leandroramos [switching from sda2 to (probably) sdb1], 1804 is on sda1 | 16:44 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [1804 is on sda1], Oh, sorry :) | 17:13 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> anyway I tried doing the trick on sda1 but no joy | 17:16 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> @leandroramos [With a 18.04 live USB, yout can use this GUI tool: ... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/in …], trying this now | 17:16 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [trying this now], The boot-repair PPA doesn't work with 18.10 (missing updates), but you can generate the 18.04 grub to fix (with luck) | 17:18 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> i am creating the startup disk with 1804 | 17:19 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [i am creating the startup disk with 1804], 🤞🏼 | 17:19 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> what's the next option? new partition table with only 1810? | 17:20 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> and if it fails, same but with 1804? | 17:20 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [what's the next option? new partition table with only 1810?], I could not figure out why "no bootable devices" appeared, but you can mount the grub partition (sda1 or 2) and check if there's a grub file in /boot folder | 17:22 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @leandroramos [I could not figure out why "no bootable devices" appeared, but you can mount the …], after the "mount" command - `cd /mnt/boot` and `ls -la` | 17:24 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> got it | 17:31 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> running boot repair now | 17:32 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> `an error occurred during the repair` | 17:36 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> wanna see the log? | 17:36 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [wanna see the log?], yes | 17:42 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/Tu6soNLX/file_4279.txt | 17:43 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], according to the log, the errors refers to sdc, and you can reboot | 17:58 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I did but does not work as before | 18:11 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [I did but does not work as before], The problem is here: ... `You can now reboot your computer. ... Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda (ATA Samsung SSD 850) disk!` | 18:36 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @leandroramos [The problem is here: ... You can now reboot your computer. ... Please do not forget to …], The grub was installed, but SSD doesn't appear in boot option, and I don't know why | 18:37 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I've researched a bit and noticed it happens with Acer and Toshiba apparently. Could it be a bios-related problem? | 18:39 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Amway, if the problem is grub I could avoid it by just keeping a single is on the pc | 18:40 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> Your disk is connected to sata or ide? | 18:40 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Sata | 18:40 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Both | 18:40 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], Can you show the main tab? | 18:42 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/w8IVQfZ.jpg | 18:42 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Probably deleting serial numbers was stupid | 18:43 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], the next tab, MAIN | 18:44 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> (Photo, 640x480) https://i.imgur.com/mijsYMr.jpg I am looking for it | 18:44 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Sorry | 18:45 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [Sorry], ok, I don't know if your bios has this option | 18:45 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/AsjUUgI.jpg | 18:46 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], You can access the boot menu pressing F12 during Acer logo screen? | 18:48 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Yes but displays no optiins | 18:49 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> :( | 18:49 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/4Yt106A.jpg | 18:49 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I did it | 18:53 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I reset the bios settings and the drives were there again | 18:54 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Simple as that | 18:54 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [<reply to image>], change the sata mode | 18:55 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [Simple as that], oh | 18:55 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [Simple as that], worked now? | 18:56 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> I can log into 1804, now restarting to test the 1810 | 18:57 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Grub is there | 18:58 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> 1810 operational! | 19:02 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> Thanks a lot for the assistance | 19:02 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/E8Z2sAk2/file_4295.mp4 | 19:03 |
| lubot | <leandroramos> @AlFXLogic [Thanks a lot for the assistance], So the problem was BIOS config 😂 | 19:03 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> So the solution for disappeared drives from the boot order was simply reset bios settings, for anyone who might ever need it in the future. | 19:03 |
| lubot | <AlFXLogic> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/KNfSGHVi/file_4296.mp4 | 19:04 |
| wxl | wth. that is the weirdest thing i ever heard of. | 19:10 |
