johannhp | Hello | 18:45 |
---|---|---|
wxl | what up | 18:45 |
johannhp | Does anyone know how to solve the "boot device not found" problem? | 18:46 |
wxl | fresh install i assume, or perhaps this is the first time booting the live iso? | 18:47 |
johannhp | fresh install | 18:47 |
wxl | did you check the integrity of the installation media ahead of time? | 18:47 |
johannhp | yep | 18:47 |
wxl | how did you partition the device? | 18:48 |
johannhp | im typing from the live iso rn | 18:48 |
wxl | just because the iso runs doesn't mean it's good | 18:48 |
wxl | you could have one bit of information that's flipped and it could lead to all sorts of weird problems | 18:48 |
wxl | so to be sure: you checked the hash of the image against published hashes AND ran the "check disc for defects" option at the boot screen? | 18:49 |
johannhp | I ran the 3 tests there were to run before launching the installer | 18:49 |
wxl | ok i'll take your word for it. that said...... | 18:50 |
wxl | how did you partition the device? | 18:50 |
johannhp | Im lay so I choose the erase hd option | 18:50 |
kc2bez | On some machines it is necessary to set the boot flag, the automatic partitioning doesn't do that. | 18:51 |
johannhp | how do I do that? | 18:51 |
wxl | @kc2bez: is that true? that seems like a bizarre-o bug | 18:51 |
johannhp | I have an old HP probook, the BIOS page is horrible, there isnt even an option do turn secure boot off | 18:51 |
kc2bez | It is a bizarre bug. Not every machine needs it. | 18:52 |
wxl | do you know an upstream bug report on that? | 18:52 |
kc2bez | EFI should work but legacy may not | 18:52 |
kc2bez | Yes, let me dig it up. | 18:52 |
kc2bez | https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1175 | 18:53 |
kc2bez | You can use KDE partition manager to set the flag. | 18:54 |
johannhp | where do I find that? | 18:54 |
kc2bez | KDE partition manager is in the menu under system tools | 18:55 |
lubot | <lynorian> https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.1/3.1.7/kde_partitionmanager.html | 18:55 |
johannhp | how do I set the flag? | 18:56 |
kc2bez | Do you have a legacy boot system or is it EFI? | 18:57 |
kc2bez | What do you see for partitions in KDE parttion manager? | 18:58 |
johannhp | I dont know, Im sorry | 18:58 |
johannhp | is UEFI legacy? | 18:58 |
kc2bez | no | 18:58 |
johannhp | Then I guess I dont have legacy | 18:59 |
kc2bez | so you should have a `/boot/efi` partition | 19:00 |
kc2bez | it should be fat32 | 19:01 |
diogenes_ | ls /sys/firmware/efi/ | 19:02 |
diogenes_ | if you get output then uefi. | 19:02 |
wxl | ^^^ that | 19:02 |
wxl | [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS | 19:03 |
wxl | if you want to be really fancy :) | 19:03 |
johannhp | Okay, I opened the KDE manager, there are six devices. 4 are unknown, 1 is the usb and the other my HD. In the HD one there is only one partition named /dev/sda1, with type being ext4 | 19:04 |
wxl | which is to say that either it's legacy/BIOS or it's not properly partitioned for EFI | 19:05 |
kc2bez | right | 19:05 |
wxl | the tests diogenes_ and i suggested will confirm which you are actually USING | 19:05 |
johannhp | ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi/': No such file or directory | 19:06 |
johannhp | the other one returns BIOS | 19:07 |
wxl | then you've got BIOS | 19:07 |
kc2bez | So you can right click on the partition you see and set the boot flag. | 19:07 |
johannhp | how do I set it? | 19:08 |
kc2bez | if you right click and select properties there should be a box that says flags | 19:09 |
johannhp | done | 19:09 |
kc2bez | One of them is boot. Tick it on and select ok. | 19:09 |
johannhp | Thank you very much | 19:09 |
johannhp | I will restart my pc and see if it works | 19:10 |
kc2bez | You did apply it right? | 19:10 |
johannhp | yeah, checked the box and clicked Ok | 19:10 |
kc2bez | Apply in the upper left under File might be necessary too. | 19:11 |
johannhp | I see now | 19:11 |
johannhp | Hopefully it will work | 19:11 |
johann22 | thanks guys, worked fine now | 19:22 |
kc2bez | YW, enjoy! | 19:22 |
