The led shows it is still "on" but I can't turn the keyboard backlight on or off, and plugging my phone into the USB port doesn't trigger the "Would you like to give access to this device?" message, it only charges at a very low voltage. Is there anything I can try to recover? [00:05] As far as I can tell the screen is off, as in, the display is not even powered on. [00:07] parrotlover: also consider ubuntu core and snaps; they're designed around doing this kind of bespoke hardware uspport [00:07] robertparkerx: welcomeback, any luck? [00:07] robertparkerx: I don't see anything wrong with the screenshot you sent :/ [00:10] I also need to ship software with [00:10] with features to use this coprocessor card instead of CPU or CUDA, which it was designed to replace completely [00:11] like all the AI/ML frameworks need to be available with added support for my hardware so people can get software that uses the coprocessors instead of CPU, CUDA, or TPU [00:12] i have them packaged, i made all the packages, just need to host them all [00:15] parrotlover: aha, so it's a bit late to look at doing your own branded snapstore, hehe [00:15] sarnold, I just do things on impulse while manic or high and it always works out and makes big money... I've mastered the art of pulling off completely insane [00:16] I have no idea how I run successful businesses, but I do [00:18] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/eDu9dqNj [00:18] I do hope those torrents are legally distributable content if you're on a linode node [00:18] vultr and they are [00:18] This is personal [00:19] This is a personal server [00:19] parrotlover: hahaha, that's awesome :D [00:19] I use torrents too, but I don't pirate with them, I use them to share things with low bandwidth usage on the server [00:20] robertparkerx: what's in journalctl when you try to start the rtorrent service? [00:20] like custom linux ISOs, data sets from academic sources for AI work... anything that I am hosting on a low budget system or vps, I use torrents and offer an option which I ask not to use for direct download [00:20] I don't do it really that much, but sometimes, every couple months maybe [00:21] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/Jru7rdzq [00:21] My friend started torrenting a album of music on my nanode and I lost it on him and made him promise nothing illegal until I start hosting a server for him at home where I don't care [00:23] I notice now lot of failed password for root. [00:24] robertparkerx: if it's an sshd live on the internet, there's *constant* username/password guessing attempts [00:24] robertparkerx: OH. I think I heard %h was *removed* [00:24] robertparkerx: try changing WorkingDirectory=/home/rtorrent/ instead [00:26] I think that worked [00:26] I had to systemctl daemon-reload [00:28] I don't see rtorrent in ps aux [00:28] journalctl again? [00:28] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/8LuwLRJA [00:29] robertparkerx: heh, the root login attempts pushed the useful stuff off screen [00:30] wait [00:31] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/2NurNg5q [00:31] This is right above it [00:32] hi, i plugged a usb stick into my laptop and it is not recognizing it [00:34] killall[1365]: /usr/bin/rtorrent: no process found [00:34] i tried lsusb but it still isn't showing when i look at file manager [00:34] robertparkerx: if you use sudo -u rtorrent -s to start a shell, then run cd /home/rtorrent ; /usr/bin/screen -d -m -fa -S rtorrent /usr/bin/rtorrent does screen seem to run okay? [00:35] barg: does anything show in dmesg? [00:35] sarnold: yes! sdc1 [00:35] i will experiment with mount [00:36] barg, what filesystem, exfat? [00:36] yes [00:37] sarnold killall[1321]: /usr/bin/rtorrent: no process found [00:37] then you need exfat-fuse and exfat-utils, and restart nautilus [00:37] The process /usr/bin/screen could not be executed and failed [00:37] robertparkerx: don't worry about killing the thing just yet :) you have to figure out why it isn't starting first.. [00:37] thanks i'll look into that [00:38] Those are the errors I see sorry sarnold [00:38] robertparkerx: alright how about just this then? sudo -u rtorrent -s to start a shell, then run cd /home/rtorrent ; /usr/bin/screen -d -m -fa -S rtorrent bash [00:40] nothing [00:43] robertparkerx: "nothing" as in the bash worked perfectly? or "nothing" as in "it failed"? [00:43] I don't know. Nothing happened. [00:46] wait [00:46] I see three of these in ps aux [00:46] 4 [00:46] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/eDu9dmng [00:46] Do y'all know a way to remount a ro root partition as rw without a reboot? [00:47] thenori: remount -orw,remount may do it [00:47] sudo mount -n -o remount,rw /dev/sda6 doesn't work for some reason [00:47] sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point [00:48] robertparkerx: oh good now you've got a few of those to kill :) "killall SCREEN" *might* do it [00:48] yeah I killed 3 of them [00:48] Should I kill the other too? [00:49] while you're at it, is there a faster way to check ro/rw than refreshing gparted? actually I could just try to copy something right [00:50] yeah I guess 'touch test' works just fine [00:50] tyvm [00:57] robertparkerx: yeah kill all those screen/bash sessions :) [00:57] done [01:02] sarnold https://termbin.com/aeb0 [01:03] robertparkerx: alright, try this series of steps again: sudo -u rtorrent -s to start a shell, then run cd /home/rtorrent ; /usr/bin/screen -d -m -fa -S rtorrent bash [01:03] robertparkerx: then try 'screen -RAD' and see if you attach screen to that session or not [01:05] sarnold I'm looking at a blank screen now [01:05] just with a prompt in the middle [01:07] robertparkerx: alright, try: echo $$ ; ps auxw | grep [01:08] sarnold I don't understand what number you're talking about. [01:08] robertparkerx: echo $$ shows the current shell pid [01:09] sarnold https://termbin.com/r1ek [01:10] humph. I was hoping to see the screen i nthe thing. oh well. try pstree -h and see if your shell really looks like it's running inside screen? [01:11] sarnold https://share.getcloudapp.com/E0uEkG54 [01:11] it says "screen bash pstree" [01:12] robertparkerx: cool cool; so, next step, lets try rtorrent :) run /usr/bin/rtorrent [01:13] rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:13: Command "peer_exchange" does not exist. [01:14] YAY [01:14] finally [01:14] https://termbin.com/j2bh [01:14] this is my rc [01:14] should I not have 'no' [01:15] I'd try just commenting that line out [01:18] wow this config was bad [01:18] I got another error [01:19] HAHAHAHA it's working! [01:20] sarnold, you're the best! [01:20] Thank you for taking the time with me to figure it out. [01:20] I truly appreciate it. [01:20] robertparkerx: whoohoo! [01:21] now I have to figure out flood [01:21] I'll do that later though [01:25] yikes, that starts with "run this shell script as root" [01:25] I hate those [01:28] It seems those config settings were just deprecated https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/rTorrent-0.9-Comprehensive-Command-list-(WIP) [01:30] cripes that's a lot of things removed [01:30] It would have been nice to see those errors from the start [01:30] no kidding [01:31] it'd be nice to have a real torrent daemon rather than "well you can kinda run this torrent client in screen" [01:33] install the transmission webgui thingy .. [01:52] how does known-hosts work? will the fingerprint itself change if the ip changes? [01:52] trying to figure out why I'm getting a fingerprint error [01:53] no. but if the IP address changes it won't have a fingerprint associated with it [01:54] it sounds like the IP address may have changed to something that you already had in your known-hosts. that or you are getting MITM'd [01:57] I'm on LAN which is why I'm confused [01:58] I'm looking at known_hosts and I don't see any entries that have an IP associated with them [01:58] Is the IP you're getting an error for on the LAN? [01:58] yes [01:59] it's been assigned a static private IP for a year and I *think* I've connected to it that way before [01:59] is there a way to try logging in without checking it against the ip? [01:59] just see if the fingerprint matches anything in known hosts [02:00] has anyone used flood with rtorrent? I have the process running but I cannot connect. 'err_connection_refused' this site can't be reached [02:00] well you can just delete the offending record [02:00] crablab, idk which one is valid [02:00] I'm trying to verify that the server hasn't been changed somehow [02:02] I think ssh-keyscan is what you want :) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest81038 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:05] looking into it [02:05] thx crab [02:06] how can i set UTC to local [02:06] etc? [02:08] Settings [02:08] openface [02:08] hey room has anyone had problems w/ dell dockign stations? mine won't let me run any USB through it === zareem9891019807 is now known as Pelle` [02:30] has anyone here used fpm to build a deb file? [02:33] fpm is not in our repos, one could use ruby for that https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-fpm-to-easily-create-packages-in-multiple-formats [02:34] I use checkinstall to build packages because I don't care about being proper and conforming when I just need to share packages I develop or build from source... Like, I need to make a proper package for my kernel with custom modules for custom new hardware, but I don't think checkinstall will update grub and initramfs and such [02:35] checkinstall is great for installing from source, but isn't proper for making packages to distribute, as you mostly all already know [02:36] I think I recently learned checkinstall fails badly if there's a symlink in the 'package' [02:37] looking at checkinstall [02:38] sarnold, I have known for a long time that installing packages in ways other than the package manager can break your install in a way that is so time consuming to track down and successfully recover from that I keep a seperate home partition and when I do something that causes such a state I do a fresh install keeping the old /home folder [02:39] If you try to install newer or older versions of software over top of ubuntu's packages, and the package manager can't maintain the package the package manager can under many conditions refuse to do anything with no way to fix it besides manually undoing everything you did [02:39] heh, I haven't screwed up a system that bad for over two decades.. [02:39] Ubuntu is great if you just want easy install and setup and the best repo package selection around, but trying to modify upgrade, or replace things it depends on without the package manager can break things [02:39] I love Ubuntu, I'm not complaining, just pointing this out [02:43] checkinstall needs sudo - wish it would do that without installing and just give me a deb file to install [02:44] Well, you can always be stupid and run everything as root [02:44] kek [02:46] parrotlover, checkinstall gives this error: mv: cannot move '/usr/sbin/nginx' to '/usr/sbin/nginx.old': Permission denied [02:47] cgi, use sudo, and try again. if still an issue, I'm not sure what you should do [02:48] apt purge nginx before trying to install the new version? [02:58] sarnold, thanks [03:02] Evening. Anyone have a moment for a stumper? [03:03] What might be tying up permissions on a folder that would supercede the traditional chmod settings? [03:04] I have a folder that reads 755 but even as root I cannot change it to anything nor can I browse the contents [03:05] Slyw: apparmor or selinux or other MAC system; seccomp controls to prohibit syscalls for enumerating directory contents; hardware error or filesystem corruption [03:06] Slyw: what errors do you get? do you see anything in dmesg or /var/log/audit/audit.log (if you have auditd installed) [03:06] don't have auditd installed ... and no error other than Operation not permitted [03:06] don't believe I have selinux or apparmor installed (at least not intentionally) [03:07] I didn't think filesystem corruption (because I am blindly optomistic that I am not going to lose my music collection) [03:08] all ubuntu users have apparmor installed by default [03:10] ah, okay.. let me have a looksee [03:19] Has anyone used flood with rtorrent? I have rtorrent installed and the process is running. I installed flood and the process is runnning but stops. I get connection refused in the browser when ps aux shows it running. [03:21] sarnold - alas, got auditd installed and no messages when I chmod or sudo chmod - both return Operation not permitted [03:21] I am leaning toward filesystem failure [03:21] better get to backing up [03:22] Slyw: how about dmesg? [03:25] nothing obvious (to me) ... audit type=1305 but am uncertain if that is my chmod effort [03:26] it sure could be [03:26] dmesg | grep DENIED would be most illuminating [03:27] operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" ... [03:31] and comm=? does it show the denials are your mysql server? or your shell? [03:32] sorry sarnold - comm="mysqld" [03:33] so if your mysql server can't access something, now you know why :) [03:33] if it's something else, well, you'll have to keep digging [03:34] Heh.. indeed. spun up mysql many moons ago for S&G ... haven't messed with it ... I am guessing filesystem. Had corrupt blocks a few years ago... laptop itself is closing in on 10 years old [03:35] anyone familiar with ssh-keyscan? I'm trying to have it compare the key received from a server to some I have on file [03:36] I'm using the -f switch followed by the address and then it says no such file or directory [03:40] nshire: try an ls -l on the file you told it to open [03:42] rw r r [03:43] sarnold, but the problem is It's getting file not found on the address I'm trying to read from [03:43] I've probably got it wrong [03:44] ssh-keyscan -t rsa,dsa,ecdsa,ed25519 -f 192.168.1.10 -p 22022 | sort -u - ssh_known_hosts | diff ssh_known_hosts [03:44] and I cded into the /.ssh/ directory beforehand [03:44] nshire: and what's ls -l 192.168.1.10 ? [03:45] ls -l 192.168.1.10 [03:45] wow wrong window [03:45] ..ignore that [03:45] cannot access, no such file or directory [03:45] there we go :) [03:46] where did you put that file? [03:46] that is an ip address [03:46] hrm [03:47] the manpage says to use -f before the address [03:49] hmm, which release are you on? I'm on focal and it has: [03:49] -f file [03:53] I want to say my problem with flood is http:// but I don't know. znc is on https:// [03:53] it's listening on port 4000 [03:53] maybe I read it wrong [03:53] robertparkerx: does it show up in sudo ss -tlnp output? [03:56] no it doesn't [03:56] wait [03:56] It's there as 'node' [03:58] I got it [03:58] changed 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 [03:59] careful, that opens it up to all hosts on the network, not just localhost [03:59] should I use my IP [03:59] I mean the IP of the server [03:59] okay, realized that make deb-pkg is a thing\ [04:00] Yea that worked [04:02] robertparkerx: that probably opens it up to everything on the network *except* for localhost [04:02] What if it's a private ip [04:03] it won't run with localhost [04:03] it's up to you to know what that means and if it's good enough :) [04:06] sudo ss -tlnp has two rtorrent. They're different ports too. I need to enter my rtorrent host and port to flood. [04:06] I found out the source of my SSH problems, I was used to connecting from outside of the network so the address associated with known_hosts was different [04:06] Should I use 127.0.0.1:5000 or 127.0.0.1:50000 [04:07] It has two entry for those [04:08] nshire: aha! yeah that'll give you a new entry message [04:08] robertparkerx: either's fine [04:12] 5000 worked [04:12] I <3 you guys [04:16] yay :) === Leion1 is now known as Leion [04:39] I got popped by my ISP last week, for having an old torrent seeding. What was the name of the program that monitors who is sniffing around? I remember there was both a GUI and a version that ran in the Shell. But I remember seeing “ Sony pictures” and “Paramount Studios” being some of the snoopers ... I forget the program === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T [06:45] https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/think-workstations/thinkstation-p-series-towers/ThinkStation-P520/p/33TS3TPP520 [06:45] shipping with ubuntu [07:39] hello, I have libreoffice on (k)ubuntu, but there is problem saving files on desktop [07:40] Error saving the document:Object not accessible.The object cannot be accessed due to insufficient user rights. [07:40] I have given 755 for desktop folder [07:41] 777 also does not work [07:47] hey all. I cannot change screen resolution on a Lenovo T490s with Ubuntu 18.04. It seems to be fixed to the native resolution 2560x1440. I had a T470 before where a bunch of modes was available. Is that a hardware thing? [07:48] Not being able to lower screen res on a hidpi is pretty limiting [07:48] xrandr -s [07:48] RonaldsMazitis, XXXxXXXX not found in available modes [07:48] then it's not available [07:48] I tried: xrandr -s 1920x1080 [07:49] bad [07:49] RonaldsMazitis, who or what defines what modes are available? [07:49] rdz: you might be able to add the mode you want [07:49] i can change the resolution of any attached screen, just not of the built-in one [07:50] ducasse, ok.. i'll try [07:50] ducasse, you mean also with xrandr? [07:50] rdz: calculate it with cvt and add it with xrandr [07:51] ducasse, thanks. i'll try [07:51] 2560x1440 seems so big [07:51] rdz: you could also try to set scaling [07:52] ducasse, yes., but the grid is way too coars [07:52] 100%, 200%, 300% [07:53] why can't we scale only by full integers? [07:53] that doesn't make sense to me [07:53] 100% looks good tough, with large text enabled in "universal access" [07:53] 200% is way too big [07:54] however, some applications don't deal well with hidpi and it would be much more confortable to use a lower screen res [07:54] some desktops can scale with fractions, iirc [07:57] ducasse, RonaldsMazitis, amazing. adding a new mode and using it, worked!! [07:57] ducasse, thanks a lot [07:57] you're very welcome [07:58] i must say i'm pretty happy about this.. i was beginning to think the new hardware wasn't that usable after all.. [07:59] glad you got it sorted :) [07:59] if Your hardware supports such a large res, it can't be bad === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [08:25] Hi! What is the best channel for ask questions regarding Ubuntu installation in a laptop? [08:26] here, probably [08:29] So I have a new Alienware, and the different guides I tried yesterday don't quite match my BIOS options and it seems I can't boot from the USB with UEFI and I can't see the disks partitions with the RAID0 setting, however, since I would like to have a dual boot installation, I can't make Windows 10 work at the same time. Are these parameters (UEFI [08:29] and the RAID0) the ones that are really preventing me to install Ubuntu? Are there an install that could work with those parameters? [08:32] you should be able to install in uefi mode, but you will probably have to switch from raid to ahci. use mdraid if you want raid [08:34] mmanta: you also need to turn off intel rst, iirc [08:34] !uefi | mmanta see this [08:34] mmanta see this: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [08:34] ah, I didn't changed that === MibixFox2 is now known as MibixFox [09:01] Hi guys, I've just did a clean install of ubuntu 19.10 as the previous one was "outdated" and needed upgrade. Doind the upgrade crashed everything so I did a clean install. After the install I always get a lot of "Sorry, ubuntu 19.10 has experienced an internal error" do you guys also see 19.10 as really unstable? [09:02] Also i see "Architecture" is amd64 even though I have I7 [09:02] Bootlog: Error 13 permission denied /var/log/boot.log [09:03] toffe: amd64 is correct for modern intel chips, there's a fun bit of history there if you're interested [09:03] Shoot ! :D [09:03] toffe: try to press on details to see what the error is about [09:03] toffe: there might be some info in /var/crash about them too [09:04] I'll do that on the next, another problem I have which I had in 18.04 and the earlier 19.04 I think. When I login after boot. The login screen appears again. So I have to login minimum two times.. [09:07] It was fixed the two - three first reboots then it came back. Really annoying. Also when I start IntelliJ software my two external screens freezes, the laptop screen is on but i cannot click anything. Doing CTRL+ALT+3 opens the terminal going back to tty2 gives the screen again and after a while gnome crashes. Aswell as the "CPU Throttle messages in dmesg I think Ubuntu hates Thinkpad L580! [09:13] https://imgur.com/a/SeFPz0B - Wee here, why is all the throtteling happening :P [09:32] Hi! Does Ubuntu publish official USB images that can be burnt into a USB drive and used straightaway, with something like an initial boot screen where the user sets their username and password? Assuming it'd be a persistent installation. [09:36] !persistence [09:36] To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [09:40] wingedrhino: there's the OEM install, but i dont think it's burnt straight away,you'd have to install it first then run something so on the next boot the user sets his username and password [09:40] !oeminstall | wingedrhino [09:40] wingedrhino: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [09:41] i suppose you could install once and then make an image of that to dd to other pc's [09:42] I'll be giving these away to interns who bring their own laptops to work. Any way to ensure that all images have drivers for all popular graphics cards and the like? [09:43] I tried installing Ubuntu Studio 18.04 on a Pavilion 15-ab522tx and it just stayed at the third party drivers stage of the installation process for an hour before I gave up. But the Live USB version just boots fine. [09:49] On that subject, what's a good 32GB or 64GB USB drive to buy for this purpose? Thinking about ordering a whole bunch. Needs to be durable while still somewhat affordable. [09:50] And it sounds like the name of a project already. Ubuntu Dev Bootcamp Edition :D [10:01] i broke my digitalocean droplet :( [10:03] wingedrhino: i think that's difficult cause many laptops different gpu and it needs a particular driver and sometimes it can need tweaking to get right, but you could put something that runs "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" after they turn it on or so, so that it installs the recommended driver (which may or may not work) [10:03] *have different [10:03] there's a command like that? :O [10:03] (they'll need an internet connection obviously) [10:03] daedeloth: if you want help fixing it, please provide details [10:03] yeah wingedrhino [10:03] I'll add it to my setup script. Dang! [10:04] wingedrhino: you also might need to have some repos enabled, such as multiverse, not sure [10:04] ducasse, yea sorry about that :D right after stating my problem i got into grub shell and now i'm trying to see if I can boot from there :) [10:04] EriC^^, already did that in my scripts to setup my own laptop. I just need to add the driver thing at the very end I suppose! [10:04] I didn't realize how painful non-Intel GPUs are to setup [10:05] Until I had to fix a friend's HP with nVidia :x [10:05] ( [10:05] wingedrhino: seems the nvidia stuff is in the "restricted" repos fwiw [10:06] wingedrhino: yeah, sometimes it can need a little work to get running i guess [10:06] And this will _probably_ need to run on those skinny new macbooks. [10:07] wingedrhino: amd gpus mostly have the right drivers available on a standard install, not true of nvidia [10:07] ducasse, that's good to know! My next laptop might be a Ryzen [10:09] wingedrhino: certain nvidia gpus need drivers from the graphics-drivers ppa, you might need to take that into account [10:09] ducasse, aah! okay [10:12] ducasse, this one? https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [10:13] yep, that one [10:14] also, does that ubuntu-drivers program have something like an -y option? [10:15] I assume I need to enable that PPA before running that autoinstall command? [10:15] i'm not sure it would take the ppa one into consideration [10:16] hello. what's wrong here. I did install some very outdated package successfully: "dpkg -i --ignore-depends=python-central xxx.deb", but system stop update with that: Unsatisfied dependencies. Try “apt --fix-broken install” without specifying a package name [10:16] wingedrhino: no -y option that i know of, but it can create a package list. you could use that to install with apt [10:16] when i do "apt --fix-broken install" it removes package [10:17] wingedrhino: autoinstall might not ask for confirmation before proceeding too, test and see [10:17] ducasse, guess I'll shove that command at the very end for now! [10:17] i don't need fix broken package, course it's work for me [10:18] i need possibility to make apt upgrade [10:18] yuradoc: you'll just screw up apt if dependencies aren't satisfied [10:19] i'm sure with that depandancy. it's very outdated and not supported [10:20] apt still needs them to be happy [10:20] Hey guys, is this the correct channel for microstack questions ? [10:20] app works without it [10:20] apt doesn't [10:21] can i make apt ignore that package dependancy? [10:21] i know what i'm doing [10:22] no. you could install it outside of apt entirely, though [10:22] hm so i am able to chroot into my system from a digitalocean recovery disk [10:22] i already did: dpkg -i --ignore-depends=python-central xxx.deb [10:22] but now i need to figure out how to fix the boot sequence [10:22] it's installed outside apt [10:23] yuradoc: i mean install from source or similar [10:23] hm, so it's not possible? [10:24] yuradoc: using dpkg will register it in the package database, and apt will require dependencies [10:24] daedeloth: after chrooting try "grep efi /etc/fstab" to see if it's uefi or legacy installed [10:24] but dpkg has --ignore-depends... that's means someth [10:25] and it helps me to get app work [10:25] yuradoc: you could modify the status file [10:25] and erase the dependencies from Depends: [10:26] yuradoc: it will only help you install the package, dependencies in the database will still be broken [10:26] yuradoc: /var/lib/dpkg/status [10:26] or just unpack the .deb and copy files into place [10:26] ok, thanks, i'll check [10:27] yuradoc: you could unpack it in /usr/local and add that to your PATH [10:27] that way nothing will overwrite it's files or conflict in the future, and apt is happy [10:27] /usr/local/bin is in the PATH by default [10:28] I cann [10:28] ah right, nice [10:28] LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 [10:29] daedeloth: ok so it's using uefi, type "dpkg -l | grep grub" [10:29] EriC^^: thank you! I did remove package depandancy here: /var/lib/dpkg/status [10:29] daedeloth: also see if the current session is in uefi mode, type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" [10:29] now working [10:29] no such file or directory [10:29] yuradoc: cool, no problem [10:30] packages seem to be installed (ii) [10:30] daedeloth: ok, so it's booted in legacy mode [10:30] daedeloth: that'll hinder you from editing the uefi list of the motherboard [10:30] why there is no cli possiblity to ignore dep... weird [10:30] it's a digitalocean droplet [10:31] yuradoc: because it's entirely unsupported [10:31] daedeloth: well the virtual motherboard :D [10:31] daedeloth: which grub packages are installed? [10:32] daedeloth: if you have internet connection in the chroot you can do "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" to upload a pastebin [10:33] https://termbin.com/5dby [10:34] as for context, i think this was an ubuntu 17.10 droplet that was upgraded to 18.04 [10:34] daedeloth: type "apt-get purge grub-pc grub-pc-bin" [10:34] and i guess that failed months ago, but i just now rebooted it [10:35] do i want to have all grub 2 files removed from /boot/grub? :) [10:35] daedeloth: is it asking that? [10:35] yes :) [10:35] i didn't think their droplets used uefi, mine doesn't [10:35] that might be the problem? :D [10:35] ok purging those files, right? [10:36] yeah, thought it's pretty odd, but it's present in fstab [10:36] daedeloth: yeah, the line in fstab for /boot/efi wasn't commented out, right? [10:36] no [10:36] yeah, but will loading efivars work? [10:36] ok [10:37] ok, let's confirm more, daedeloth type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:37] /etc/fstab => http://termbin.com/16zc [10:37] http://termbin.com/cilt [10:38] with a warning: unable to poen /dev/s0 read-write ... [10:38] well that's not what i'd like to see [10:38] and error: /dev/sr0: unrecognized disk label [10:38] it's using gpt, has an ef partition, but also has a bios_boot for legacy grub to work with gpt [10:39] daedeloth: my guess is that maybe it started as efi, since it has it in fstab, then at some point was converted to work with legacy? [10:39] that'd explain the 2 grub packages, efi in fstab, and it being gpt in the first place [10:39] honestly i have no idea, i think i started out from a default image and then ran upgrade to 18.04 but i don't remember doing that [10:39] other way around, i think [10:39] pretty certain they use legacy by default [10:40] but then again, the partition table looks made well and not mmodified later, i think it was designed to work with both grub efi and legacy [10:40] ducasse: yeah, i think it was initially setup with both, i guess he should go for grub legacy package since the live session got booted in legacy mode, likely it boots in that mode [10:41] daedeloth: type 'apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc grub-pc-bin' [10:41] it's not like it would need uefi for anything [10:41]
