| OvenWerks | did you check the downloaded iso checksum? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Kiui | yeah, it matched | 00:00 |
| OvenWerks | The fact that it runs live would make me think it dl properly | 00:00 |
| OerHeks | if nouveau gives an error, i presume, this might fix it, | 00:00 |
| OerHeks | https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-nouveau-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 00:00 |
| Kiui | I previously installed this exact same one on an iMac with no trouble at all | 00:00 |
| OvenWerks | right, so iso is ok | 00:01 |
| Kiui | and my SSD with Windows works | 00:02 |
| Kiui | but I don't get GRUB either | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | how did you install the nvidia driver? | 00:02 |
| OvenWerks | nouveau is default, no install needed | 00:03 |
| OvenWerks | once you are up with that, The software and updates tool has an "additional Drivers" tab | 00:04 |
| Kiui | I.... didn't? | 00:04 |
| OvenWerks | Kiui: grub will only show if there is more than one OS on the drive | 00:05 |
| OvenWerks | however, if you hold the shift key down while booting the grub menu should show. | 00:06 |
| OerHeks | sometimes ESC .. | 00:07 |
| OerHeks | i would try nomodeset. | 00:08 |
| OvenWerks | once you get to the grub screen | 00:08 |
| OvenWerks | ... | 00:08 |
| Kiui | neither gets me to that screen | 00:09 |
| Kiui | oop | 00:09 |
| Kiui | there is goes, got grub | 00:09 |
| OvenWerks | F1 gives help | 00:09 |
| OvenWerks | one of the other f keys should do video options | 00:10 |
| Kiui | nope, F keys do nothing | 00:11 |
| OvenWerks | huh, what does it say along the bottom of the grub screen? Maybe things have changed with grub | 00:15 |
| Kiui | nothing | 00:15 |
| Kiui | just | 00:15 |
| Kiui | Grub> | 00:15 |
| OvenWerks | grub used to have oh, so it has gone past the menu | 00:16 |
| OvenWerks | That is the grub prompt which normally only happens if it found no kernel to load | 00:16 |
| Kiui | uhhh | 00:16 |
| Kiui | should I re-install it then? If I type exit, it loads windows 10 | 00:17 |
| OvenWerks | so you have two partitions, studio and win10. That should be possible. but I don't know how it works | 00:18 |
| Kiui | well...one SSD is windows, and my HDD is linux | 00:18 |
| OvenWerks | I would think in that case the grub menu should always show up. | 00:19 |
| OvenWerks | two partitions one on each drive should still have grub show up because when grub installs it checks all the drives it can find for a stratable o9s | 00:20 |
| OvenWerks | *startable | 00:20 |
| Kiui | maybe I should wipe the HDD, re-do linux | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | There are very few people here, but this sounds like it would be the same for any ubuntu flavour and there are a lot more people on #ubuntu. | 00:21 |
| Kiui | even the live Usb states Nouveau - "unknown Chipset' | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | that is always some thing you can try | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | how old is the graphics card | 00:22 |
| OvenWerks | is it either really new orolder? | 00:22 |
| Kiui | Gtx 1660 6Gb. so..less than a year I think | 00:22 |
| OvenWerks | So maybe too new for 18.04 | 00:23 |
| Kiui | oo | 00:24 |
| OvenWerks | 19.10 may be a better choice | 00:24 |
| Kiui | didn't know that was a thing that could happen | 00:24 |
| Kiui | no music oriented distro I've tried today has worked properly on this desktop so far x.x | 00:25 |
| OvenWerks | The nvidea drivers (kernel modules) are made by nvidea and I don't know if they make those for anything older than the newest kernel. | 00:25 |
| OerHeks | driver ppa perhaps.. | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | or HWE | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | have to be able to boot first | 00:28 |
| OvenWerks | so far we haven't got to the grub screen (menu) | 00:28 |
| Kiui | true | 00:30 |
| Kiui | x.x had to pop over to a bigger screen, phone was killing me | 00:31 |
| Kiui | but nah, can't get grub menu either | 00:31 |
| Kiui | I think I'll download 19.10 and see what it does | 00:36 |

| ubottu | 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 | 22:33 |
