[00:00] ok in that fs [00:00] Mark60: are you booted in efi mode currently? try a quick "ls /sys/firmware/efi" tell me if it says no dir or you get some dirs back [00:02] EriC^ i got: config_table efivars esrt fw_platform_size fw_vendor runtime runtime-map systab vars [00:03] Mark60: looks good [00:03] Mark60: type "grub-install" [00:04] ok its running [00:06] Mark60: nice [00:06] EriC^ is it normal to see alot of WARNING: ?? [00:07] Mark60: not really, but warning's usually aren't important [00:07] Mark60: once it's done, type "update-grub" [00:08] its WARNING: DEVICE ........ not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds. [00:08] odd, let's hope it's not important [00:09] its at each line for now :/ yeah hopefully [00:12] Mark60: has it finished yet? [00:12] nop seems like its going in a loop [00:13] Mark60: no worries try to kill it using ctrl+c [00:13] ok [00:13] worked [00:14] mean with killing the task [00:14] Mark60: ok, type "exit" at the chroot for a second [00:15] ok out of chroot [00:15] Mark60: once you get the original shell back, type "sudo mount -B /run /mnt/run" [00:15] ok mounted it [00:15] Mark60: then "sudo chroot /mnt" [00:16] Mark60: then try "grub-install" again [00:16] in chroot? [00:16] yeah [00:16] EriC^ finished. No error reported. [00:17] Mark60: great [00:17] Mark60: type "update-grub" [00:17] Mark60: then let's confirm stuff with "cat /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999" and see if it added the grub.cfg line [00:18] EriC^ second command in chroot? [00:18] yeah [00:19] EriC^ https://termbin.com/4njyb [00:19] Bashing-om, Nvidia works! [00:20] Mark60: great, it's there [00:20] Mark60: ok, type "exit" then try to reboot as usual and see if it works [00:20] :] === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [00:22] EriC^ i now get the purple screen but i cant get further to be able to log in [00:22] Bashing-om, I added a file. https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/4PZVBCnkv5/ [00:23] Mark60: you mean it's stuck at the ubuntu purple screen with dots? [00:23] Bashing-om, but still have no hdmi audio output :( [00:23] yeah purple ubuntu screen but no dots [00:24] Mark60: what happens if you press esc? [00:24] EriC^ nothing [00:25] Mark60: ok, try to reboot pressing alt+prntscrn+ s , then + u then + b [00:25] Mark60: then hold shift when the pc is starting up at the very start [00:26] EriC^ got the purple screen with a menu now [00:27] Mark60: aha, try pressing "e" over ubuntu [00:27] EriC^ ok now i see some gray text [00:27] Mark60: ok go down to the line that says linux /boot/vmlinuz ......blablabla quiet splash ... -- [00:28] EriC^ ok im at that line [00:30] Mark60: remove "quiet splash" and replace it with "debug ignore_loglevel" [00:31] Mark60: then press F10 to boot [00:32] EriC^like this? .... debug ignore_loglevel $vt_handoff ? [00:32] Mark60: yeah exactly [00:32] EriC^ just hit f10 [00:32] yup [00:33] it should boot up and show exactly what it's doing and stuff [00:33] EriC^ still at the purple screen with no other visualsation [00:33] dreamon: catching up :) [00:33] Mark60: hmm [00:34] !info linux-generic eoan [00:34] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.24.28 (eoan), package size 1 kB, installed size 16 kB [00:35] Bashing-om, nvidia-setting shows me all options.. works fine. :) [00:35] EriC^ was that !info meant for me? [00:35] Mark60: that's odd [00:35] Mark60: no i was just checking the kernel on 19.10, it's 5.3 which you had in your /boot [00:35] Bashing-om, but still no luck with hdmi audio output. [00:36] Mark60: try holding shift as before, then go to advanced > choose the recovery kernel for 5.3 [00:37] EriC^ so reboot? and then the wierd key combinations? [00:37] Bashing-om, any ideas what I can do? I think I set pavucontroll right. [00:39] Mark60: nah the weird key combinations are to reboot safely [00:39] EriC^ Ubunut, with Linux 5,3,0-19-generic or ^ Ubunut, with Linux 5,3,0-19-generic (recovery mode) or ^ Ubunut, with Linux 5,3,0-32-generic [00:39] dreamon: One cannot just assume now that the driveris at fault - have you checked your sound settings ? By the way your xcongig looks good to me// [00:39] !sound | dreamon [00:39] dreamon: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [00:39] Mark60: ah interesting, i dunno where it got 5.3.0-32 from [00:39] Mark60: try just the normal kernel with no recovery mode, Ubunut, with Linux 5,3,0-19-generic [00:40] Mark60: ah was that a typo on the last one [00:40] did you mean 5.0.0-32-generic [00:40] error: Unknown TPM error [00:40] ah yey 5.0.0.32 [00:40] sorry [00:40] oh ok [00:40] Mark60: hmm weird [00:40] my bad [00:41] Mark60: try the recovery mode for 5.3.0-19 [00:41] same error [00:41] Mark60: i wonder what it was attempting to boot by default [00:41] Mark60: press 'esc' to go back to the main menu [00:41] ok back there [00:41] Mark60: and press "e" over ubuntu to peak at its menu entry [00:42] Mark60: which kernel is next to linux /boot/vmlinuz [00:42] 5.3.0-19-generic [00:42] Bashing-om, found that old xconfig file and added it. it works fine. but not sure all option are right there. [00:43] Mark60: aha, it seems like some bug related to grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1848892 [00:43] Launchpad bug 1848892 in grub2 (Ubuntu Focal) ""error: Unknown TPM error." after upgrading to grub 2.04" [High,Fix released] [00:43] Mark60: some guy said he was able to work around it by disabling secureboot in his bio [00:44] EriC^ shell i try to disable secureboot? [00:44] Mark60: yeah [00:44] if it's already off, try disabling any TPM option [00:45] Bashing-om, hdmi sound option I think they are right. I can choose output to hdmi and play mpv to hdmi .. but no sound. but i will check your hints now.. [00:45] dreamon: I do not know what might have changed recently, but the file looks sane per my older experience. ( I no longer use a config file, rely on DKMS for all discovery). [00:45] Mark60: as a last resort, it seems downgrading grub to the earlier 2.02 would solve the issue [00:45] EriC^ there is also the option: CLEAR TPM (currently set to [NO]) [00:46] Mark60: hmm i dunno about that one, dont press it yet [00:46] ok disabled TPM and booting up again [00:46] Mark60: is secureboot on currently? [00:46] EriC^ no that was off already [00:46] ah ok [00:47] EriC^ same purple screen as before [00:47] Mark60: what happens if you go to advanced then choose ubuntu with linux 5.0.0.32? [00:48] EriC^ error: you need to load the kernel first [00:48] Mark60: aha what about ubuntu with 5.3.0-19? same tpm error stuff? [00:49] seems there's an easier workaround we can try in a min [00:49] EriC^ yeah [00:49] Mark60: ok, press "c" to get the grub> prompt [00:49] ok in grub [00:49] Mark60: type "rmmod tpm" [00:50] EriC^ unknown TPM error [00:52] Mark60: aha, try it again just to see if it worked [00:52] the rmmod [00:52] error: no such module [00:52] ok good [00:52] i think [00:52] Mark60: press esc to go back to the menu [00:53] then try pressing on ubuntu again [00:53] EriC^ same purple screen [00:55] Mark60: ok let's try 2 stuff, first try to boot an older kernel quickly since we're in grub already, 2nd we can boot the live usb again and try to get grub to use the non-secureboot efi cause it seems people are using that as a fix too [00:56] Mark60: go to advanced > ubuntu with 5.0.0-31-generic, press "e" over it [00:56] then add the line "rmmod tpm" right before the first line that says insmod ......... [00:57] EriC^ insmod gzio befor that? [00:57] yeah [00:58] EriC^ ok inserted [00:59] Mark60: ok, try pressing f10 [01:01] EriC^ it booted up. and i loged in. then i got prompted: Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. please log out and try again. [01:01] Mark60: ah great that's a start [01:01] Mark60: i gtg to bed though, hopefully you can sort it out if not i'll probably be on tomorrow (in like 10 hours or something) [01:02] EriC^ i should also go 2 bed now. can we plann in arround 11hrs or so as im completly lost and have no idea what you have done ? [01:03] ok [01:03] thank you :) [01:03] no problem :) [01:03] have a good night, see ya [01:04] you aswell. catch ya soon === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:38] hello [03:31] Hi, what's the most lightweight Ubuntu flavour [03:31] Lubuntu? [03:31] Once a week or so my computer gets into a state where the UI is nonresponsive except I can ctrl+alt+F# to a virtual terminal then back to ctrl+alt+f1 and the screen unlock prompt works normally but then I'm back to the same nonresponsive UI. Is there anything I might try to figure out what's going wrong then? [03:32] n-iCe: xubuntu and lubuntu are both pretty light, I wouldn't say either is a clear winner in that comparison [03:33] sparr will work in a 1GB laptop? [03:33] !flavours | n-iCe try one [03:33] n-iCe try one: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [03:33] I'm currently using slitaz [03:33] But community is poor [03:34] sparr: if you've got gnome extensions enabled, try disabling half of theem, see hwhat happens, disable the other half, see what happens, etc.. narrow down to find out which one(s) give trouble [03:34] n-iCe: another idea, is using the minimal option during setup, or choosing xenial based lightweight flavours [03:43] Hi. I don't understand by reading from Wikipedia the difference between monolithic and micro kernel. Can someone please enlighten me on this? Thanks. [03:44] martiansoul: a microkernel will use the cpu's memory management unit to run drivers in their process address space [03:44] martiansoul: a monolithic kernel runs all drivers in one address space [03:46] sarnold at what layer is cpu's memory management unit written on?. [03:46] I mean is it even lower level than kernel? [03:46] sarnold: where would I see them? [03:47] martiansoul: the enforcement of emmory mappings is performed on the CPU -- see for example the meltdown CPU flaws, where the memory mapping unit protections were being bypassed by improper CPU execution [03:47] sparr: sorry, I don't know [03:48] ok [03:48] I think I only had one on, desktop icons, and I've now turned it off [03:48] martiansoul: managing the MMU is a core functionality of the kernel in both microkernel and monolithic kernels [03:50] sarnold okay. But all processes are using memory. Why is there a distinction between their address spaces?. [03:51] martiansoul: the process is the fundemental unit of security on most operating systems -- eg your web browser shouldn't be able to just modify the memory of your tax software, and vice versa === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [03:51] martiansoul: (of course the ptrace debugging interface changes that calculation a bit, as there's ways for processes to directly modify the memory of other processes) [03:53] Okay. sarnold essentially it means that it's not a better option to use monolithic kernel, because it uses a single address spaces. [04:06] i'm trying to find the default network configuration file, i don't think i'm seeing it in /etc/netplan, am i in the wrong place? [04:31] martiansoul: I'm not sure it really makes a difference; the microkernels I've seen in use in practice (OS X, WinNT) don't really *do* anything with their microkernelness, and feel like they just pay performance penalty but don't see much security or safety benefits [04:32] martiansoul: but SEl4 sure looks neat... dunno. [04:39] anyone know what the hell's going on with Chrome on Ubuntu? [04:47] can I use netinstall and make a minimal installation as slitaz? [05:48] i have two usb cameras from the same manufacturer and i cant find any concrete identifiable properties to write a udev rule for each device. I decided on identify the cameras via the usb ports rather than the device now. I have a script that checks if the ports trigger v4l and then assign the camera to /dev/cam_left or /dev/cam_right etc. etc. [05:48] is there a way i can use dmesg to do it automatically when i plug in the cameras? I'd love to not run that script everytime before i launch my application [05:49] /dev/v4l/by-id and by-path, are they already unique? [05:49] https://askubuntu.com/questions/715333/assign-webcam-to-a-specific-dev-video/715417 [05:52] ooh, thats interesting [05:53] by-id shows only 1 device [05:53] by-path shows both [05:55] thanks alot [07:23] Is there any way to get 5.1 on netflix with ubuntu? [07:30] 5.1 sound? [07:30] no, html5 does not do that on linux [07:57] OerHeks: Interesting - do you know anything about the reason why? [07:59] elias_a, no, just that html5 is not that advanced for now [08:01] aren't those encodings proprietary? [08:02] OerHeks: Ok. Thanks. [08:02] DTS / Dobly 5.1/7.1 are proprietary [08:03] i guess that explains why they're not supported [08:06] Has anyone installer the MS Teams for Linux client released yesterday? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/Microsoft-Teams-is-now-available-on-Linux/ba-p/1056267 [08:07] I have problems with it - similar as with beta version. [08:07] The application just disappear somewhere after login. [08:07] on windows/edge there is Dolby 5.1 afaik [08:08] Teams also leaves several icons left to top bar of 18.04 even if I don't see a Teams instance running. [08:09] i guess you find a verry little support for those packages outside our repos [08:21] OerHeks: Yes, that is true. I wonder if the new release is on its way to Ubuntu repos? [08:22] I suspect that it is not... [08:41] Finally! I have managed to trick ubiquity to install the system onto an encrypted partition (/boot included)!!! [08:46] hi [09:55] do you know where I can report a CoC violation? [09:55] and or discuss privately with someone about a potential violation? [10:04] graingert: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/what-is-the-ubuntu-community-council/706 [10:05] makara: do you know who I could talk to privately about an issue? [10:07] your doctor [10:07] wow you want to literally "speak" to someone? ..that's rare in FOSS ecosystems [10:26] graingert: you can contact the community council privately: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/community-council [10:28] after the last few updates i just have lost my double screen setup on 18.04, what can i do to troubleshoot? [10:29] on screen display it shows only one unknown display [10:34] gebbione, install driver video [10:35] gigirock, i have touched nothing [10:35] it is not a new install, i have no clue what driver i need to install because as far as i know it should use built in with my card [10:36] gebbione: driver support is typically better with newer versions. Would you consider doing a release upgrade? [10:36] gebbione, in ubuntu you have additional driver in 'software source' [10:37] makara, last time i had to go from i think 14 to 18.04 i had a lot of troubles [10:37] why you guys suggesting driver stuff without even knowing the issue :| [10:37] btw my system is using llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 128 bits) [10:38] lol [10:38] gebbione: pastebin the output of 'lshw -C video' [10:38] i am wondering if i should switch to a previous kernel and see if that goes back to sanity [10:38] i ll paste it [10:38] could try that too [10:39] should i run lshw as root? [10:39] nah [10:39] https://la.wentropy.com/aFfc.png [10:39] I, can I make this as a default action? [10:39] it's chromium === coconut is now known as ricola [10:40] https://pastebin.com/3MnZCYF0 === ricola is now known as Ricola [10:41] huh weird [10:41] rbasak: who does that go to? and how do I get replies? === Ricola is now known as coconut [10:44] Ben64, any other non kernel skipping ideas? [10:45] just make sure you also have the lastest xorg-amd package installed [10:45] that's not the full name btw, i don't remember it right now [10:50] kinda looked up on the internet and i can see that there are no new radeon drivers for 18.04 [10:51] i ended up here https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-hd/ati-radeon-hd-5000-series/ati-radeon-hd-5770 [10:59] gebbione: have you ever set any custom config? Remove and purge drive packages and reinstall [11:00] graingert: details are on the page I linked. Replies will go to you since the receipients will be able to see the sender's address. [11:00] oh ok great thanks rbasak [11:00] makara, i had in the previous version of ubuntu, they were conflicting with the llvmpipe stuff, but i removed them long time ago [11:00] * gigirock hate amd gpu [11:01] do you only use nvidia? [11:02] gebbione, yes always, normally i have pc's with intel hd when some super gpu is requested.... i use nvidia [11:06] makara, no clue on what to look for in terms of drive packages, i tried installing something like flxrg common but made no difference [11:12] I don't have sound in ubuntu but it works in firefox, why? [11:12] chrome i mean [11:13] is it because im streaming to my chromecast? [11:16] cnnx, do you mean not in ubuntu, yes in chrome; or not in chrome, yes in firefox? [11:17] /part [11:18] cnnx: you haven't really explained that very well. what do you mean? You have sound in general in ubuntu, but not in chrome? you have sound in firefox and not in chrome? sound from what, are you playing a video? [11:18] my sound in chrome is not working, and my OS is ubuntu 18.04 [11:18] but im also streaming a tv station using chrome to my chromecast [11:18] and that is working [11:20] using an older kernel didnt get the monitors back :/ [11:20] EriC^ good morning [11:20] cnnx: usually when I plug in my earphones, it stops sound going to the speakers [11:27] any other thoughts on how to get ubuntu to display the dual monitors again? I have just done an update of the packages and reverted kernel to the previous but it has made no difference. https://pastebin.com/3MnZCYF0 [11:28] gebbione i use 3 monitors with ubuntu 18.04 and didnt have to install any other divers..... [11:29] Mark60, you might have a different GPU, mine was working fine without any custom drivers and currently has none. using default llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 128 bits) but this morning it decided to stop working [11:31] hi all [11:32] i'm using ubuntu 18 as a host for building ubuntu on disks [11:32] if i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm i get that the package does not exist, it is one suggestion online to install it [11:32] sgdisk -n1:0:0 -t1:BF01 $DISK [11:32] Could not create partition 1 from 0 to 33 [11:32] Could not change partition 1's type code to BF01! [11:32] Error encountered; not saving changes. [11:32] DISK=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB3daff0b5-4d2b147e [11:33] any clue ? [11:48] and i m back, dual monitor still not working on 18.04 .. tried switching to lightDM, resolution was better but monitors were still undetected. Also tried older kernel. No fix yet :/ [11:48] Generally newer kernels have better hardware support gebbione [11:48] gebbione: what's your GPU [11:48] I am using 18.04 and my hoster complains that I am running the `Portmapper service (portmap, rpcbind)' port 111... which I think is needed for nfs... They say it might be used for reflection attacks... but I am not sure how I could improve this :-/ [11:49] graingert, AMD Radeon HD 5770 -> https://pastebin.com/3MnZCYF0 btw this was working yesterday. I have obviously installed something new last night that broke the system but not sure what [11:50] dostoyevsky: I wouldn't open NFS to the Internet at large. Maybe run it over a VPN instead? [11:50] It's a kubernetes cluster that requires persistent storage... [11:50] gebbione: try a fresh 19.10 [11:51] so they all have nfs between them... [11:51] dostoyevsky, only allow nfs access from kubernetes [11:51] gebbione: how would I do that? [11:52] dostoyevsky, on the system running the nfs just allow incoming traffic on the nfs port from the k8s machines [11:52] gebbione: can you see where it loads in the driver in dmesg output [11:52] gebbione: so via firewall? [11:52] graingert, fresh mean hell unleashed, i am not structured for a fresh upgrade ... i could just upgrade but I am also worried [11:53] makara, i ll try to check [11:53] gebbione: fresh upgrade is always good [11:54] graingert, just to clarify ... fresh and upgrade for me are two separate things .. fresh is a new install, upgrade one on top of the other ... what do you mean exactly [11:54] gebbione: fresh: delete the partition and install a new os [11:55] graingert, definitely not feasible [11:55] makara, [ 28.708326] [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module! [11:55] gebbione: upgrade: install a version of software newer than an old one on a particular device or system [11:55] Mark60: hello [11:55] dostoyevsky, yes firewall is an option [11:56] EriC^ :) [11:56] h r u? [11:56] not to bad. wbu [11:56] good thanks [11:56] Mark60: alright, shall we continue? :D [11:57] yes please :D [11:57] (im kinda waking up as we speak) [11:57] if u need more time let me know [11:57] Mark60: ok, iirc it lastly worked when you booted the 5.0 kernel with the rmmod line right [11:57] nah im good [11:57] correct [11:58] and then ubuntu gave me the error screen when i logged in [11:58] Mark60: ok try to hold shift, press e over ubuntu, then add the line "rmmod tpm" before the insmod stuff [11:58] yup [11:59] could I setup the firewall like that: allow all traffic but don't allow connections to port 111 except from these four ips... [11:59] EriC^ ok line inserted. press f10? [11:59] yeah [11:59] purple screen again :/# [12:00] ok, so it only works with the older kernel [12:00] hmm interresting [12:00] Mark60: in the bug report they mentioned the non uefi grub working, maybe that;ll help it work with the newer kernel for some reason, lets just make a quick check cause using the proper kernel would be nicer [12:01] Mark60: try to boot the live usb, then run "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" [12:01] EriC^ just booting the live usb :) [12:02] :) [12:03] gebbione: what are you missing for a fresh install? [12:03] How about: ufw deny from any to any port 111 proto tcp // ufw allow from to any port 111 proto tcp ? [12:03] EriC^ https://termbin.com/u0y8 [12:04] and then: ufw enable [12:04] Mark60: which laptop/pc model is it btw? [12:04] its a HP specter x360 15" [12:04] i think its a 2016/7 model [12:04] graingert, i have a lot of custom software etc and i dont have a structured approach to port all files and configs over to a new install [12:04] > ufw deny from any to any port 111 proto tcp && ufw allow from $IP to any port 111 proto tcp && ufw enable [12:06] Mark60: ok, type "sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /mnt" [12:06] could someone remind me how to edit the grub configuration, i need to check if some options are enabled possibly causing problems with my monitor setup [12:06] gebbione: maybe try a new install on a new HDD? [12:06] gebbione: then you can see if it's a problem with your hardware or Ubuntu [12:06] EriC^ ok done [12:07] Mark60: sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi [12:07] graingert, i think i just need to check grub config, remember how to edit it? [12:07] EriC^: ok :) [12:08] Mark60: let's see which efi file it's using currently to boot, type "(sudo efibootmgr -v; ls -l /mnt/boot/efi/efi/ubuntu) | nc termbin.com 9999" [12:08] EriC^: the brackets? [12:08] Hi folks [12:08] Mark60: yup with them as well [12:09] EriC^: https://termbin.com/8rhq [12:10] Mark60: what about "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" [12:10] EriC^: also said sudo: efibootmgr : command not found [12:10] Mark60: oh, try sudo apt-get install efibootmgr [12:11] I wonder if this is the shortest way to setup a firewall to secure port 111: # ufw deny 111 && ufw allow from $IP && ufw enable [12:11] EriC^: ok installed. shell i run the first command again? [12:11] yeah pleASE [12:11] oops sorry for caps [12:11] EriC^: all good :) https://termbin.com/g9vu [12:12] Mark60: ok it looks like it's using shimx64.efi which is the secureboot efi [12:12] Mark60: let's try to get it to use grubx64.efi [12:13] Mark60: type "sudo efibootmgr -B -b 0000" [12:13] EriC^: done [12:14] Mark60: type "for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done" [12:14] gebbione: that's pure google [12:14] EriC^: completed [12:14] Mark60: sudo chroot /mnt [12:15] Mark60: then type "grub-install --no-uefi-secure-boot" [12:16] EriC^: this will not delete all the files i had on the system or? [12:16] Mark60: nah this should just install grub without uefi [12:16] i mean secureboot [12:16] EriC^: /proc/devices: fopen failed: No such file or directory [12:17] instalation finished. no errror reported. [12:17] Mark60: hmm odd, what does "ls /proc" give? dirs or empty? [12:17] empty [12:17] Mark60: oh, type "exit" [12:17] then type "sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc" [12:18] EriC^: done [12:18] Mark60: "sudo chroot /mnt" [12:18] EriC^: ok [12:18] Mark60: try "grub-install --no-uefi-secure-boot" again [12:19] makara, I can gedit /etc/default/grub or also SHIFT and press e at boot, whats the difference? [12:19] EriC^: that looked better [12:19] Mark60: ok, try 'sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" again [12:19] i think the nomodeset option might be causing the problem [12:19] EriC^: in chroot? [12:19] and it is at the end of the grub file [12:20] gebbione: /etc/default/grub is permanent, pressing e is a one time boot temporary [12:20] Mark60: yeah [12:20] EriC^, thanks [12:20] no problem [12:20] is it possible something added nomodeset on its own again? i see it disabled in a line above in the file [12:20] EriC^: https://termbin.com/2s19 [12:20] and then enabled again at the bottom [12:21] Mark60: ok great, it's added the grubx64.efi file [12:21] Mark60: i think we might as well run "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" so everything is up to date [12:21] EriC^: update the live usb? [12:21] Mark60: nah it will update the system in the chroot [12:22] EriC^: oh wow thats amazing [12:22] doen [12:22] Mark60: ok, let's give it a quick try just to see how it goes, type "exit" [12:23] then reboot and see what happens [12:23] EriC^: dpkg was interrupted, you must manualy run'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem [12:23] sorry just got that error :/ [12:23] Mark60: hmm try sudo dpkg --configure -a [12:24] if it still errors out, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:25] EriC^: ok no errors :) [12:25] Mark60: ok cool :) [12:25] type "exit" and try rebooting [12:26]
