Where are you seeing the error? [00:27] Yes i am.. [00:28] pronet_: It's possible that there's an issue with your disk. Can you pastebin all of the output that it gives you? [00:30] hi [00:30] [9861:9861:0406/033002.677259:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180. [00:31] Hi, I need help with a problem I have in the terminal [00:32] pronet_: You're running a web browser as root? [00:33] Well. im sorry but i dont even know how im doing that.. could you please elaborate [00:34] pronet_: I think there are a lot of things that could be wrong here... [00:35] If you're running things as root and don't realize it, that's not good and you may very easily hose your system (ruin it). === conjo is now known as justaddcoffee [00:36] Unable to open lock file "/ var / lib / apt / lists / lock" - open (13: Permission denied) [00:36] This is the problem I have, could someone help me? [00:36] How do i check whether im running applications on root or not.. because, on the terminal i usually input my password when going to root [00:39] wa: What are you trying to do when that happens? [00:40] pronet_: You can type "whoami" === Guest18528 is now known as Katnip- [01:28] guiverc: i'm just looking to update samba [01:28] main reason is the new vfs_fruit support === Katnip- is now known as Katnip [02:22] How to upgrade from 17.10 to 18.10 properly? [02:22] Should I edit the sources lists? What about ppas? [02:24] fling, Ubuntu 17.10 is now EOL and should have been upgraded before then. First you need to fully upgrade it (ie. point your sources to old-releases; then sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade) then do-release-upgrade to bump yourself to 18.04 LTS, then reboot, then if all okay, consider next move to 18.10. PPA's should be disabled/purged for max chance of success; but backup regardless [02:25] I don't have do-release-upgrade btw [02:25] guiverc: Is there a step-by-step guide on 'point your sources' part? [02:26] I'm also worried about these two ppas I have installed -> https://launchpad.net/~commendsarnex/+archive/ubuntu/winedri3 https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers ? [02:26] fling, all Ubuntu images I thought come with it; have you removed some of the default install? [02:26] mesa/drives/nine are from there [02:26] guiverc: this is the deafult lxd image [02:26] release-upgrades are tested without any PPA's active.. they are 3rd party sources that are your own choice, own responsibility to validate & test. [02:27] What would be the proper approach anyway? To just upgrade or to first remove any ppas and then readding them later? [02:28] fling, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades for info on 17.10 upgrades (due to it being EOL), but you need to go 17.10 to 18.04 (only tested path), reboot & with 18.04 running then to 18.10 (LTS can go to next LTS, non-LTS only to next release) [02:29] * fling reading [02:30] for max success; I'd suggest removing PPA's. With PPAs you need to check them yourself individuaully (ie. do they support the next release? is it even needed for next release? is it still supported to your satisfaction/security-concern etc); do-release-upgrade usually disables them anyway before upgrade.. [02:32] guiverc: I checked the pages and winedri3 has bionic and cosmic, graphics-drivers ppa has bionic, cosmic and disco [02:32] so I decided to upgrade to cosmic which is 18.10 [02:32] hello [02:33] anybody here? [02:33] i don't know of the PPA so cannot advise on how it would go during upgrade. I always remove (consider purging), then upgrade, then re-add back.. 17.10 to 18.10 direct is untested; non-LTS only upgrades to next release [02:33] guest-U3a8q4: hello.

[02:43] fling, i can't recall how ppa-purge works, if it removes files or just comments out lines.. (I'd opt for commenting out with additional comment saying when/why i did it) myself -- those files could be just comments inside [02:44] Nothing got commented out [02:45] Ok, dropped them for now [02:46] ppa-purge comments out apt sources, downgrades packages to versions in ubuntu proper. or tries to. [02:46] fling, others maybe able to help you more; but a look at my box (opened 'software sources' in menu) shows 'artful' PPA's still visible in my "other software" tab (unchecked so disabled).. it was a XFCE add-on that wasn't needed in 18.04 & up [02:50] guiverc: updated sources.list and getting 404 errors -> https://bpaste.net/show/05fdd5f9c094 [02:52] looks like 404 is the common thing here https://askubuntu.com/questions/999366/failed-to-release-upgrade-from-17-04-to-17-10 [02:54] yeah fling http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ doesn't have the artful directory .. exploring.. [02:55] apparently those are on security.ubuntu.com, not sure why [02:56] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [02:56] my local mirror still has `artful` (so old-releases change wouldn't be necessary - no idea why - it EOL ages ago and I thought was moved) [02:56] (by local mirror I meant archives. not old-releases) [02:57] that's just because you local mirror server failed to remove them, i think [02:57] ah no they're still on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ too [02:58] thanks ubuntu for mkusb :D === amosbird_ is now known as amosbird [03:00] fling: i'm not sure this was said, yet, but the only responsible thing to do if you let your ubuntu installation reach end of life is to do a fresh installation of a supported release and to restart backups / rsync your data (and to migrate configurations) [03:01] *restore, not restart [03:01] that is if you rand the system during those 9 months where it wasn't getting security patches [03:01] *ran [03:05] tomreyn: how do I upgrade this artful? [03:06] fling: so you're saying you want to upgrade, not install fresh? [03:07] i won't criticise, it's a just a decision you need to make on your own. [03:07] tomreyn: yeah this is just a small container only running nine. I've not turned it on for a year or so. [03:07] tomreyn: lots of wineprefixes there, don't want to migrate to new install. [03:08] ok, then make sure no services are reachabke on the internet on it. [03:08] None there [03:10] fling, tomreyn's suggestion was to download the 18.10 you want to be using, write to thumb-drive, validate-it (what I do anyway using option at menu), install (something-else & no-format is what I'd do) it'll take note of your added software (ubuntu sources only), wipe system dirs, install, re-add back additional software you added (main repos only) then allow reboot.. it doesn't touch user dirs (most of user configs will be here, but [03:10] ensure you don't select 'format') [03:10] fling, why not use a LTS release then - 18.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years (can be extended thru ESM use) - where as 17.10/18.10 are 9 month only releases? [03:10] then, point the default ubuntu apt sources to an archive mirror which still provides them, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get full-upgrade. then, personally, i'd just disable all third party repositories and use https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages to identify the packages i need to remove ("no longer downloadable") and i need to downgrade ("no version in archive"), and do so. [03:12] guiverc: i really meant a fresh install. i am not certain that what you describe works without a separate /home [03:12] guiverc: this is waaay to complex. [03:13] I installed this container with a single `lxd launch ...` command [03:13] tomreyn, i use it regularly (something-else only offers no-format & only wipes system.dirs) - backup always of course.. [03:13] but fling I'd trust tomreyn more than myself [03:13] Hey all. Trying to get an HP Win10 laptop to dual boot Ubuntu, for some reason Grub isn't booting Ubuntu up at all [03:14] guiverc: not lts because I want new llvm and mesa [03:14] okay, cool. then this can be an option. but you wouldn't benefit from, say, new file system defaults (but then i guess nothing changed there between 17.10 and 18.10 in terms of ext4). === OhSHeesh is now known as OhSheesh [03:15] I'm using zfs here… [03:16] uh oh [03:16] fling are using zfs for your root? [03:17] Tedward: yes. [03:17] * tomreyn does not know what preparatory steps may be needed when upgrading with zfs root. [03:17] that does complicate things a bit [03:18] ubuntu is running in an lxd container! [03:18] I am not sure for root, my data drives are zfs but my system drive is just ext4, which version of ubuntu are you running right now and what is your problem? [03:19] 17.10, wants to upgrade to 18.10 [03:19] Tedward: updated sources.list and getting 404 errors -> https://bpaste.net/show/05fdd5f9c094 [03:19] Tedward: and this https://bpaste.net/show/3414ecc06638 [03:20] Not sure how to and if should purge https://launchpad.net/~commendsarnex/+archive/ubuntu/winedri3 https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [03:21] fling looks like you are running 17.19 which supported ended on July 19, 2018 [03:22] I highly recommend you upgrade to a newer version [03:22] Tedward: this is what I'm trying to do. Want to upgrade to 18.10 [03:23] Tedward: but can't because `apt update` gives 404. [03:23] to get rid of the 404 errors, undo the change to "old-release", pointing apt urls to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [03:23] Tedward: ppa-purge failed to do it's job so I just dropped the sources.lists but the packages are still there. [03:24] (Away from home, usually on as Mr_Sheesh) Just plain high centered :/ [03:24] fling if you have backups I recommend doing a reinstall, as I have found upgrades past one version don't work well on ubuntu, maybe others have different experiences [03:25] Tedward: the container is only used for nine, I don't think I break anything really bad. [03:25] Tedward: also not going to upgrade skipping 18.04 [03:26] what is "nine"? [03:26] I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean by container is only used for nine? [03:26] tomreyn: Tedward: nine is patched wine/mesa/drives https://wiki.ixit.cz/d3d9 [03:27] oh gallium nine [03:30] upgrading to bionic now [03:30] you're late, fling [03:31] iodev: what do you mean?ㅖ [03:38] hey hye mo gs === daniel is now known as Guest39752 [03:39] what ppas are anyway? [03:39] Are they just mostly adding sources lists? [03:39] !ppa | fling [03:39] fling: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [03:40] Does this mean I got rid of ppas if I dropped sources.lists.d ? [03:40] fling: No .. as you said .. the packages are still present on the system when the source is removed :( [03:41] Bashing-om: I will be readding ppas again after I complete my upgrade to 18.10 [03:42] fling: 17.04 install . I can accept that ppa-purge will not work as the repo mo longer exists . [03:42] fling: 18.04 was released a long time ago [03:43] I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#SpecificOlder [03:43] fling: you should go to 18.04 so you don't run into this problem again so soon [03:43] I issued do-release-upgrade and it is upgrading to 18.04 [03:43] Ben64: what problem? [03:43] the unsupported release problem [03:44] Ben64: going to upgrade to 18.10 afterwards [03:44] 18.10 loses support in july of this year [03:44] which is why i'm saying you should stick to 18.04 [03:44] Ben64: but I want new mesa and llvm [03:45] fling if I remember correctly, before you reboot you will need to install zfs as it will need to compile against the updated kernel [03:45] fling: then stay on top of updates [03:45] Tedward: I'm running ubuntu in an lxd container. [03:46] Ben64: will try to do this. [03:46] fling, I can't help you there, I have no experience with lxd containers [03:47] Tedward: no help needed in this direction. lxcontainers are using host's kernel. [03:48] fling, what is the host then? [03:49] Tedward: host is what running lxd itself. In my case it is a gentoo running on real hardware but it could be another lxd/lxc/docker container in general. [03:50] ah gentoo my first love, if it is passing through the kernel then I think zfs will have to be compiled into the host kernel [03:51] Tedward: it is compiled in the host kernel yes. Not upgrading this one yet. [03:51] since I'm technically on 18.04 through neon anyone know why on mbp mid 2015 that it might keep inserting text randomly? like I've not been able to pinpoint a reason why it would be doing this... [03:52] inserting text randomly in what context? as in any program? kaosine? [03:54] kaosine: we only support ubuntu and its official flavors here, such as kubuntu [03:54] Tedward: yeah any program. I don't know if I'm leaning on it or what but never had the problem in macos, but now that I've switched(proton and other reasons) sometimes it just seems to either insert the last thing I copied or idk what [03:55] kubuntu did the same thing when I was on it too I think... [03:55] kaosine: when you run kubuntu and have this issue, you're welcome to come back with logs. [03:55] tomreyn, ah I didn't know that was the policy, my apologies [03:56] kaosine, or my guess is there is a kde neon room or forums somewhere [03:56] idk what the difference is since it's just newer kde packages on top of a LTS release....I've tried asking in the neon room but it's pretty dead in there [03:56] ok just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS [03:57] do-release-upgrade removed packages from dropped ppas [03:58] So how do I upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 properly? :P [03:58] Tedward: no worries [03:58] !upgrade | fling [03:58] fling: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:59] kaosine, Kubuntu is an official flavor, KDE neon isn't with differences made to use later KDE packages - thus it's not the same [04:00] yeah but their page itself says it's not a distro "Not quite, it's a package archive with the latest KDE software on top of a stable base. While we have installable images, unlike full Linux distributions we're only interested in KDE software. " [04:00] kaosine, there is a good chance that there isn't a difference on your particular issue, but my guess is this room is focused on answering questions pertaining to Ubuntu and it's offical flavors as that reduces the variables involved [04:01] eh, guess I'll redownload kubuntu and see what happens....not sure why it's doing this anyways [04:03] looks like it is just do-release-upgrade again [04:04] what's the best thing to use to burn the image as a bootable anyways? I'm kinda wary of unetbootin as I'm wondering that caused some kind of issue...(especially since I'm stuck waiting for a bit considering how slow my internet is) [04:04] kaosine, I have great luck with ddrescue -D --force iso_name /dev/drive_name [04:06] at least for the purpose I'm doing this, I have a drive formatted to ext4 with all the games I managed to download so far. Not hard to reinstall a few tiny apps beyond that XD [04:06] kaNy favorite from ubuntu: ' sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync ' . [04:07] kaosine: ^^ . [04:07] especially since I'm stuck at 500gb internally XD [04:07] kaosine: burn? an optical media writer such as brasero, wodim, cdrecord, bashburn [04:08] upgrading to cosmic yay!! [04:08] tomreyn: well I'm writing it to a partition I created on my drive XD [04:09] kaosine: don't use a laser there. [04:09] Bashing-om: I'll try that...and your name sounds familiar....I swear I ran into you the last time I tried doing this(back when proton didn't exist XD) [04:11] but I think back then we were on 12.04....I still have the disc I burned back then XD [04:12] yay time to delete what's on that parition and put this on there instead....and dang it I'm ready to be rid of this issue [04:14] kaosine: Possiblee - I have been around a spell :P [04:18] ok neither of those commands worked Bashing-om 's gave me "can't open is a directory" XD [04:18] ddrescue did the same thing [04:19] yo [04:19] kaosine sounds like you are either pointing it at a file that is not an iso or you are pointing it a drive that is not there [04:19] hi hi [04:20] well ddrescue says "ddrescue: Can't open output file: Is a directory" [04:20] so which is better kali or ubuntu [04:20] and all I did was run "ddrescue -D --force /home/kaosine/Downloads/kubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.iso /media/kaosine/INSTALL" [04:21] #kali [04:22] yo do i need to learn python? [04:23] heck, I'd just use etcher this now but since they changed the name apparently it sends info even when the box to not do that is turned off [04:23] kaosine, /media/kaosine/INSTALL is a directory not a device [04:23] you need to give it for example /dev/sdb [04:24] tedward whats happening? [04:25] hi, just chatting, but I would suggest if you are asking the question of Kali or Ubuntu, then you Ubuntu is the better choice [04:27] well then again how im i supposed to learn if i di=ont try [04:27] huh that time it did it when I changed it to /dev/sdc2 but I don't see anything in it's folder now XD [04:27] hi: make bootable drives and experiment *shrugs* [04:27] what are u installing? [04:28] kubuntu [04:29] kaosine: you don't normally write the iso file to a partition but to the full device, overwriting the partition table and all data stored on it. [04:29] wait kaosine what do u do? pen test or,social engineer or do u just hack in genaral [04:29] !chat | hi [04:29] hi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:30] kaosine you need you use the root drive, not a partition, so /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1 does that make sense? [04:32] well doesn't help that I don't exactly have a drive that I can just wipe and do this with(plus it's 12:31am, what would be on campus for me to get another one is closed) [04:35] upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10 !

[05:06] brb [05:06] whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu? [05:07] kubuntu is kde by default [05:07] what is kde? sorry for the newb questions [05:08] i have been using ubuntu now for a couple years but it is the first linux distro i have ever used [05:08] it's a desktop environment. Basically if you want something that looks similar to windows you'd use kde or xfce [05:08] and there's versions that come with that as default [05:08] oh ok [05:09] you would still need wine to run windows programs? [05:10] yeah....it's linux after all. It just gives the feel of those systems [05:11] it looks like windows [05:16] I can't find it -> https://duckduckgo.com/?q="%2Fusr%2Flib%2Fi386-linux-gnu%2Fd3d%2Fd3dadapter9.so.1" [05:16] but seriously, I can't seem to find a setting that might affect the keyboard backlight and I know it worked when under neon but definitely not now under kubuntu [05:16] is it libd3dadapter9-mesa ? [05:17] No, should be libd3dadapter9-mesa:i386 [05:19] linux mint looks alot like kubuntu [05:19] Ben_X: you are really comparing desktop environments. [05:19] Ben_X: all the distros will look the same if you will start kde on them. [05:19] Ben_X: or gnome on each of them or whatever [05:20] Ben_X: not only gnu but even bsd distros btw :P [05:20] You could probably run kde on windows [05:20] ewww windows [05:21] and gotta restart....updated and now I can't go to any new pages without restarting the browser >_< [05:22] Why had I been missing libd3dadapter9-mesa:i386?

[05:26] i mean: why do you think you need it [05:27] also found libncurses6:i386 is missing [05:27] tomreyn: Failed to load '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1': /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:28] tomreyn: Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncurses.so.6) [05:28] so I also installed libncurses6:i386 [05:28] I would really like the packages to get installed as deps… [05:29] those packages are optional, though [05:29] since you run an amd64 system [05:30] but still [05:31] "apt rdepends libncurses6:i386" lists packages which depend on it. pick one that you want installed, and this package will get installed as a dependency [05:32] or apt-mark auto a package to have it automatically removed when all packages which require it are removed [05:32] * tomreyn bbl [05:34] slackware looks different [05:34] then the other os' [05:35] bah, why are all these guides ancient for making this work properly....I don't want to use a guide that's meant for 16.04 when I'm on 18.10 and something break XD === moxes is now known as mouses [05:36] fling: did you install 'sudo apt install libd3d9-mesa:i386' [05:37] (it's literally how I broke stuff before in neon and kubuntu.....had to reinstall just to make wine install properly XD) [05:38] does anyone know how to set up a card reader/writter on ubuntu? [05:39] fling: if you do ---->'sudo mkdir /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d/' and 'sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/d3dadapter9.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d/d3dadapter9.so.1' [05:39] Sounds even worse!!! [05:44] Mikähän on, kun noi mirrorit on kovin hitaita nyt? [05:48] i jostled my laptop and it kind of locked up. hard rebooted, and now i'm in "emergency mode" with some really opaque instructions about "journalctl" [05:55] bigMouthCommie, if were me, I'd boot a live medium (eg. Ubuntu install media) and `fsck` (file system check) your disk as first step. without a clean shutdown (ie. power off) it'll look for and correct any fs errors.. [05:56] (with luck after this operation, it'll be back to normal..) [05:58] guiverc: according to google, this is the correct course. i'm looking for one that will fit on a CD-RW now [06:02] trisquel mini [06:02] err trisquel 7 mini. version 8 is over 700 mb [06:03] bigMouthCommie, trisquel is not Ubuntu, nor an official flavor of Ubuntu, thus off-topic here. [06:05] bigMouthCommie, lubuntu 14.04 is 628mb [06:06] (it's all EOL this month, parts are already EOL; but it'll be useful for fsck though no idea if it knows about xfs (encryption)) [06:06] no encryption [06:06] violates my security protocols :P === murthy is now known as murthy_ [06:19] uh... e2fsck: get a newer version of e2fsck! [06:20] bigMouthCommie, did you try just `fsck` ? (or were you using fsck & it called e2fsck?) [06:21] guiverc: i did try fsck, and it called e2fsck [06:21] also, i can't find the lubuntu 600mb image [06:22] nevermind on that last bit [06:22] bigMouthCommie, i went via my local mirror (where I normally download from) so http://ftp.iinet.net.au/dir.php?ubuntu/lubuntu/14.04/release [06:23] (i usually then validate checksums downloaded from ubuntu site) [06:25] well....this is going to be interesting. Now putting kubuntu on my inspiron 3847 I got as a hand me down.....hope that works....idk what to do about the backlight keys. I knwo it worked under neon but I don't know what driver I'm missing under kubuntu.... [06:30] kaosine_, if you have a kde neon thumb-drive; it has try-neon as I recall, you could boot it, if it works `lsmod` (list kernel modules) & look what is loaded on it... it usually helps on your chosen ...

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:45] oops, i mean: [06:45] !rootirc | root4 [06:45] root4: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm).

[07:05] you're most welcome bigMouthCommie :) [07:13] EriC^^: Thanks, I’ll have a look at tthe BIOS. === Xard_ is now known as Xard [07:42] is it weird ubuntu cannot find my bluetooth?

[08:15] spinningCat: It appears that you're using the snap distribution of bluez, if you're not using a Ubuntu Core system you should remove it. [08:15] spinningCat: `sudo snap remove bluez` [08:16] when using intel graphics in windows current memory allocation can be seen in the driver settings, what about in ubuntu? how do I find out how much ubuntu currently allocated for the internal intel graphics? === murthy_ is now known as murthy [08:18] Apachez: Theres a `Reserving Intel graphics memory at _memory_range_` line in the kernel log [08:19] Apachez: Also you should check out the `intel-gpu-tools` package [08:20] does ubuntu only support static allocation? [08:20] [ 0.000000] Reserving Intel graphics memory at [mem 0xdb200000-0xdf1fffff] [08:20] ill check out those gputools [08:23] those intel-gpu-tools didnt contain much [08:25] @Apachez I believe that is configurable in the mainboard firmware settings (e.g. BIOS/UEFI) [08:25] na [08:26] in there is only IGD minimum memory [08:26] not what it will actually use once the os is up and running [08:27] Apachez: I thought that is applied in the post booting phase as well? [08:28] well there is that reserving stuff [08:28] but I thought 4.18.0-17-generic by now would support increased use [08:28] and not only static allocation during boot [08:28] something like cat /proc/gpuinfo would have been handy [08:29] as with cpuinfo and meminfo [08:36] hello guys! since update gnome 3.32 the user logo in the system menu (top-right corner) is bigger then others ... is that normal ?

I need one that can also start a desktop environnement [10:23] hid: I use grml.org [10:24] Or just any ubuntu install iso. [11:16] Hello [11:16] Hi there [11:17] Anyone can help with LSB uShare? [11:17] https://imgur.com/67iCngr [11:19] hi guys, does anyone happen to know how to remove grub from a second hdd? I'm trying to dual boot windows (on a second hd) and linux (first hd) and screwed it up, was able to boot via bios before but now I've got grub installed on both disks and windows wont boot at all :( [11:20] most of the advice seems to be how to remove it from the windows side, but i cant get to windows right now [11:22] what does the windows advice suggest and can it be re-created in a linux form? === airqualitystanda is now known as airquality [11:25] mostly seems to be using the windows repair tools :P [11:26] ah okay, which one. [11:26] we can check it's function and then find an appropriate tool [11:26] i am interested in your question because i normally take the brute force approach and nuke windows. it would be useful for working on family's computers to help you solve this :) [11:27] looks like some people are using bootrec and bootsect [11:27] okay great [11:27] yeah i hope i dont have to just nuke the whole thing cause that will be a huge pain [11:27] a lost boot sector is no reason to nuke, you're fine [11:28] amazing that grub is so easy to install on a drive and so difficult to remove :P [11:29] haha. yea. boot is tricky.. that stuff needs to be formatted all sorts of special ways so some of the lowest level hardware can boot it and initialize the system! [11:29] it's exciting stuff. but yes. difficult to work with as it's "under" the OS [11:29] okay, i'm going to do some reading. brb === conjo is now known as justaddcoffee [11:29] see what i come across. [11:30] ok i appreciate your help, im gonna keep digging....efibootmgr seems to be an interesting lead [11:30] hopefully someone helps you while i'm gone and we both just learn simultaneously, hehe [11:30] i have used efibootmgr in the past in order to "queue" windows for the next boot, when switching from linux to windows. it's a good tool [11:32] okay. i have one lead. an article from august 2018 from maketecheasier.com suggests a tool called "boot-loader" which can be installed and run from a Ubuntu LiveUSB [11:33] i unfortunately have no test system, so i'll continue to read. [11:34] okay. this page had three linux suggestions. 1. boot-loader 2. syslinux 3. lilo [11:34] This is probably not a right channel, but I need help with ubuntu and virtualbox. I have EFI system and can't disable secure boot (company laptop don't have bios password). Can't install another ubuntu instance in virtualbox because of it. Any suggestions, google search is not helping [11:34]
