[00:00] Hibrit, The only method I know of is, you install the Ubuntu Live USB ISO from the official site, and you follow the instructions given from Canonical. [00:00] wedr_, yes me neither but really anything worked at all (including those changes i trtied to do in grub) [00:01] Hibrit: maybe a bios upgrade would help: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=twht5&oscode=wt64a&productcode=inspiron-15-7567-laptop&lwp=rt [00:01] wedr_, i have already tried that sir... [00:01] hmmm [00:02] tomreyn, i have upgraded my bios just this morning actually [00:02] Hibrit: so which version does it show now during POST? [00:04] tomreyn, so sorry but i don't know what the 'POST' is [00:04] Hibrit: do you know how to "enter bios"? [00:04] tomreyn, but in the link that you have just gave me it says this driver up-to-date [00:05] tomreyn, yes i know how to enter bios [00:05] tomreyn,i'm just not familiar with the term 'POST' [00:06] Hibrit: that's okay. actually let's try this: boot to grub, then select the "failsafe graphics" option [00:07] tomreyn, okey i'm trying [00:08] Hibrit: POST refers to power-on-self-test, it's the first screen computers used to show in the past when powering up. it also includes the bios version usually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test [00:08] however, nowadays most computers show just the manufacturer logo instead (by default). but you can ignore this for now. [00:09] Bashing-om: Thanks; worked like a charm. [00:09] tomreyn, ow okey thanks for information :) [00:10] tomreyn, the result is the same unfortunately [00:10] !bootlog | Hibrit: okay so try this [00:10] Hibrit: okay so try this: To get a more verbose log of the boot process, remove "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot parameters and add "debug systemd.log_level=info". For info on editing kernel boot parameters, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [00:10] tomreyn, im stuck with a black screen and there is no response to anything [00:11] is ubuntu have analog archlinux command pacman -Syyu? [00:11] tomreyn, okey give me a second to hard reset [00:11] sure [00:12] Yeah, the FF snap doesn't keep my settings [00:13] tomreyn,brb in a minute i neet to switch this to another device [00:14] skiboy, see softwarecenter > installed > snapname > settings [00:14] newuser444467899: they are quite different, maybe you want something like apt update && apt full-upgrade [00:14] * if any [00:15] tomreyn, sir if you may can you please resend that grub boot option [00:15] !bootlog | Hibrit: okay so try this [00:16] tomreyn no , want redownload all package, and better check all package and if they corrupted then reinstall them [00:16] Hibrit: okay so try this: To get a more verbose log of the boot process, remove "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot parameters and add "debug systemd.log_level=info". For info on editing kernel boot parameters, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [00:16] newuser444467899: debsums [00:17] how i can use debsums? [00:17] !man | newuser444467899 [00:17] newuser444467899: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [00:18] tomreyn ok [00:18] newuser444467899: you don't normally need to use this, nor to reinstall all packages. what makes you want to do so? [00:18] tomreyn seems my system have corrupted package [00:19] newuser444467899: what makes it seem so? [00:21] tomreyn application didnt launch [00:21] tomreyn, hey sir sorry for the interruption [00:21] newuser444467899: this could have many other reasons. have you tried to run it from a terminal? [00:22] Hibrit: you're not interrupting, but there's also no need to call me 'sir' [00:22] tomreyn, so i have added the boot option but i'm again stuck with a black screen with no responses [00:23] tomreyn yeah i try form terminal [00:23] Hibrit: so you edited the "linux" line, adding "debug systemd.log_level=info" after removing "quiet" and "splash"? and then did what? [00:24] newuser444467899: any was there any output there in the terminal? also which application are you trying to launch exactly, and which ubuntu version are you running? [00:24] tomreyn, and i pressed "ctrl+x" to boot with the option after that a black screen... [00:25] Hibrit: hmm, that's after removing "quiet" and "splash", right? [00:25] tomreyn, but tbh i guess my computers fans are faster for sure [00:25] tomreyn, yes i am certain that i removed quiet and splash [00:27] Hibrit: okay, can you try the same once more, but also add "nomodeset nvidia-smi.modeset=0 recovery". and after pressing ctrl-x, keep an eye on the disk light, if any, to see whether it'S actively flashing. [00:28] tomreyn, i dont have a disk light but sure let me try that [00:28] or maybe it's audible whether it's accessing the disk [00:29] tomreyn gnome-system-monitor didnt launch ubnut 18.04.4 [00:29] i'm trying to understand: does it get stuck very very early or just later on, after loading a couple things [00:29] tomreyn, should i add debug systemd.log_level=info too ? [00:29] ye Hibrit [00:29] tomreyn, okey let me try [00:29] newuser444467899: hmm isn't that a snap by default? [00:30] newuser444467899: does snap list list gnome-system-monitor [00:33] tomreyn, the result is the same i mean stuck with a black screen and also i didn't heard anything but the noise computer fans produced [00:35] Hibrit: okay, then once more but this time just remove "quiet" and "splash" and add "dis_ucode_ldr" [00:35] tomreyn, let me try fast [00:37] tomreyn, it is same again :( [00:38] Hibrit: sorry. :-/ did you make any changes in bios at some point? maybe it's a good time to reset it to defaults? [00:39] tomreyn, i did that too actually i have reset that to factory defaults ... [00:40] Hibrit: well, that's all i could think of for now, maybe someone else has another suggestion. something you can still try is to boot the server installer instead, or to try a different ubuntu release and upgrade from that. [00:40] tomreyn, at this point i really started to think that is a hardware issue but than why an windows 10 live usb works just fine i really cant explain [00:41] Hibrit: did oyu have linux running on it before [00:41] ? [00:41] tomreyn, thank you for your time really [00:42] tomreyn gnome-system-monitor [00:42] Gtk-Message: 04:41:14.062: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [00:42] Gtk-Message: 04:41:14.065: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [00:42] (gnome-system-monitor:28339): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 04:41:14.070: Settings schema 'org.gnome.gnome-system-monitor' is not installed [00:42] tomreyn, yes i actually have like 2 years ago it was linux mint 18.3 i guess [00:45] Hibrit: so you should be able to install ubuntu 18.04 and upgrade from that [00:45] !paste | newuser444467899 [00:45] newuser444467899: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:45] newuser444467899: i suspect without the gsettings schema it won't run. you're not running it as the root user by chance, are you? [00:46] tomreyn, i actually haven't tried that before i could really work O:3 [00:46] tomreyn is gnome-system-monitor is snap application by default? [00:46] Hibrit: Thought: I am not aware that all issues in 20.04 with Nvidia have been resolved - does 18.04 boot ? [00:47] newuser444467899: i think it is. [00:47] newuser444467899: does snap list list gnome-system-monitor [00:48] Bashing-om, i really don't know downloading the iso at the moment [00:48] Hibrit: :D Good man that you are. [00:49] there's this https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/dell-inspiron-7567-linux-kernel-support/7033 [00:49] tomreyn i try purge system mon but i got sysmon is not installed but i saw him in my application. So i just sudo install gnome-system-monitor and after that he work fine [00:50] newuser444467899: i'm not sure i full yunderstand but i understand that this issue is solved, that's nice. [00:50] Hibrit: FYI I too run nvidia graphics and to this time I have been unable to build the driver on 20.04. [00:50] tomreyn, yeah i have encountered with that article a couple of times but it didn't help really [00:51] Bashing-om, but this is so sad... :( i really really switch to ubuntu so hard.... [00:52] tomreyn yeah solved [00:52] Hibrit: actually maybe there is an option to set the primary graphics card in the bios, that's another thing you could give a try. [00:53] Hibrit: release 18.04 is also Long Term Support - support until April 2023. === pinpox- is now known as pinpox [00:54] tomreyn, i don't know but i wrote it down to check list [00:54] Is anybody here who use amdgpu-pro on ununtu 18.04.4 and dont have freeze? [00:55] Bashing-om, i wish that version installs successfully on my device [00:55] newuser444467899: please get support for the 'pro' overlay directly from amd [00:56] tomreyn i wrote on amd forum [00:56] Hibrit: Test and we see - if 18.04 installs we can point a finger at Nvivia/DKMS in 20.04 :P [00:56] !acpi_osi | Hibrit: this is yet another thing you can try (it seems to have helped others with this system) [00:56] Hibrit: this is yet another thing you can try (it seems to have helped others with this system): If your system is unstable or power management does not work well and logs show ACPI issues, you can try to make the Linux kernel pretend it was Windows during boot (which can help on hardware which was only tested with Windows): http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [00:57] Does anyone really use proprietary drivers from AMD? [00:58] newuser444467899: no polls here, please. you can try in #ubuntu-discuss [00:58] i need amd vce encoder on linux [00:58] Bashing-om, it almost done downloading just 2 mins left we will see soon if we can figure it out O:3 [00:59] newuser444467899: "Phoronix has done several articles that show the Radeon driver plus the MESA package actually perform BETTER than AMDGPU/PRO in almost all the cases that most people will be interested in. " [00:59] tomreyn, checking... [01:00] i know that mesa is better but i need amd vce, vaapi is not enough for me [01:00] Hibrit: please do test 18.04, though, and report your findings, so that others may benefit from it as well [01:01] tomreyn, it actually looks just a bit confusing to me for now i ll try 18.04 first actually i am done downloading let me create live usb quick ^^ [01:07] Anyone know how i can find a wifi adapter with ap suport in ubuntu ... ? [01:08] I have a Netgear A6210 and spent all day swapping kernals, drivers, ubuntu version with no success x.x so hoping i can just find one that just works in AP mode [01:08] tomreyn, i am using rufus to create live usb i have 2 questions first what should be the file system ntfs or fat32 and should i write in iso image mode or dd image mode [01:10] Hibrit: i'm not really familiar with rufus. i usually use balena etcher which has the ability to verify the data written and usually just works. [01:10] ISO mode [01:10] (its the recomended by the program) [01:10] and the format check the one that rufus suggests you [01:11] Munsko, okey thanks ^^ [01:11] I used it before, just need to leave these fields as they are by default if im not wrong [01:12] tomreyn, okay than if that doesn't work i'll try balena etcher [01:13] Hibrit: i'm sure it can be done with rufus with the proper settings (which i don't know, but Munsko apparently does) [01:13] I installed my SO with rufus [01:13] Always do it in that way and works good [01:13] Thats because i dont understand multisystem XD [01:14] Munsko, thanks i just changed mbr to gpt for uefi purposes [01:14] np === oneGun is now known as BTP === BTP is now known as btp === disillusion is now known as RubbleGate [01:18] tomreyn, and i am back where i start... ubuntu 18.0.4.4 doesnt boot from live usb either.... gives me same black screen... [01:19] tomreyn how i can safe delete all snap application from ubuntu and not destry my system? [01:21] Hibrit: :-/ well, i guess you can go over those options we discussed so far there again. [01:21] You can acces to grub screen? [01:21] tomreyn, im on it (already tried nomodeset... same result) [01:22] Munsko, yes i can access the grub screen but when i try to boot it gives me a black screen [01:22] well [01:22] check if u have the option to directly install from grub [01:23] Some OS have it too [01:23] newuser444467899: i don't know whether that's meant to work, but there are how-tos on this on the web [01:23] newuser444467899, snap list [01:23] Run that command in terminal [01:23] And you will se the snaps installed [01:23] Munsko, i have install ubuntu option in grub with ubuntu 18.04.4 [01:23] You could try unistall them [01:23] Hibrit, try go to that option [01:24] Munsko, im on it [01:24] If u suceed you could delete the partitions and start again [01:24] Unless you have some important info [01:24] Munsko, nope it doesnt work as same as the try ubuntu option it gives me a black screen [01:25] Oh [01:25] No idea of whats the problem [01:25] Maybe is the uefi thing [01:25] that dont recognize your usb of something like that [01:25] but no idea of that topic [01:25] newuser444467899: https://www.kevin-custer.com/blog/disabling-snaps-in-ubuntu-20-04/ [01:25] sorry [01:26] Munsko, thanks a lot i ll try once more with mbr option [01:26] Munsko core core18 gnome-3-28-1804 gnome-3-34-1804 gnome-calculator gnome-characters gnome-logs gnome-system-monitor gtk-common-themes <--- i have those snaps installed [01:26] is ti safe to delete them? [01:26] Whats your DE' [01:27] desktop enviroment [01:27] or lets say better, what distro are u using [01:27] Munsko ubunut 18.04.4HWE [01:27] hmm [01:28] tomreyn thx i will go to read it [01:28] I dont know if its safe delete some of those, if im not wrong Ubuntu comes with gnome desktop [01:28] yes, it's safe to delete those [01:28] tomreyn, i have tried most of those options we have discussed earlier but nothing worked really i ll try one last thing Munsko suggested as not going with uefi thanks a lot for your time [01:28] removing all snaps? time to hop distro. [01:29] * housecat shrugs [01:29] guess we'll see how things go. for now, i don't use chromium-browser or LXD anyway so i'm not missing much [01:30] for snaps there are tons of hidden settings; softwarecenter > installed > > settings appear [01:31] webcam/mic/files and more [01:37] Hibrit: you can still look for the gpu switch in bios. but sure, you could also try switching to legacy bios booting as a last resort, this would likely work, but it's not ideal. [01:39] tomreyn, i have actually already done switching my bios to legacy and now i can boot my live usb but i didnt installed anything yet if you suggest i can try looking that gpu setting [01:40] Hibrit: i would prefer giving this a try if it would allow uefi booting. [01:41] tomreyn, okey than i am looking that setting i'll keep you updated [01:47] tomreyn, i coudnt find any option in the bios to switch my default gpu :( [01:47] Hibrit: okay, bad luck, use bios booting, i guess. this may also work with 20.04 then [01:48] note *may* [01:48] tomreyn, so i guess i ll go try install ubuntu in legacy but i dont really know what is the differance between uefi and legacy... is that a bad thing for the performance [01:49] Hibrit: no, not really. it's just that legacy bios is ... legacy. uefi allows a few features such as a graphical startup... if it works. :) [01:50] but you'll be fine with 'legacy' / CSM. [01:50] tomreyn, ummmm i guess i will pass with those features "^^ [01:51] tomreyn, i ll try boot 20.04 in legacy now as soon as i create the live usb wish me luck === Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer[m] === E_Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer [01:52] Hibrit: There is a slight performance increase with UEFI in intensive use cases- larger blocks are used with UEFI - also there is not the 4 partition limit that is inherent with leagacy. [01:54] Earlier I was looking for ways to convert SVG to PNG, especially because ImageMagick failed to do so on xenial. Meanwhile I found the perfect program for this: rsvg-convert from librsvg2-bin. [01:54] Bashing-om, thanks for the information i guess i wont need more than 4 partitions but i hope there wont be that much of a performance loss [01:55] If u have windows too you will need maybe 4 or more [01:55] I mean, dual boot [01:55] If you will delete everything go with legacy [01:55] Munsko, nope i definitely switching from windows to ubuntu for good :) [01:56] Go easy so [01:56] You shouldnt have problem === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:57] Munsko, i am writing 20.04 iso to usb rn ^^ i'm so excited =D [01:58] As a recomendation, i would suggest you save the live usb [01:58] You never know when u need format [01:58] :) [01:59] Munsko, thanks for advice ^^ i always have a backup plan with those kind of things i already have a windows 10 live usb ready to go just in case :) [02:02] OMG I guess i just got it work uefi i dont know how ........ D: D: =$ =$ i .... i... did it with mbr and booted in uefi section i am looking at 20.04 s installer screen right now ... [02:04] Hibrit: "did it with mbr and booted in uefi section"? i'm not sure what this means. it'd be good to find out how exactly you booted now. you can run a terminal using ctrl-alt-t and type echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [02:05] tomreyn, right away im trying [02:08] tomreyn, it gives me this system booted via UEFI :D [02:09] Anyone have any experience with wifi adapters that work in AP mode [02:09] tomreyn How i can speed up my ubuntu 18.04.4? [02:09] Hibrit: so what had yo changed in bios, if you can still tell? [02:10] newuser444467899: install it on faster hardware [02:10] tomreyn, now the question is do i check the install third pary software it contains something about graphics and it got me wondering [02:10] newuser444467899, how many ram you have? [02:10] Hibrit, yes [02:10] Allow that thing [02:10] sry i dont have money for new pc, i have 8GB ram [02:11] That allows you to install non free drivers for example [02:11] newuser444467899, thats more than enough for ubuntu i think [02:11] Maybe you have a problem with drivers of something [02:11] non free dirves already included when you install ubuntu isnt it? [02:11] or something* [02:12] If you cancel that option you will not be able to adquise some of them automatically i think [02:12] tomreyn, i have canged in bios my secure boot option i turned it off but i guess it wasnt the actual change point i guess the big change is i used mbr table (for legacy and efi) in rufus when i creating live usb [02:12] Munsko, okey i checked it [02:12] in debian you need install firmware for amd video and fro amd cpu [02:13] Hibrit: hmm, actually it may have been secure boot all along, i don't know why i didn't think of that. at least it could be that (though normally systems would still boot fine). [02:14] so your system is "special" ;) [02:14] tomreyn, but let me say that i tried that before with secoreboot of it wasnt working either [02:14] how i can turn off all animation on ubuntu, disable compositor and etc? [02:14] Hibrit: i see. hmm, okay then i don't know either. [02:14] tomreyn, yes it is special now with all this work :D [02:14] i already set governor to performance and defragment my root partition [02:15] You see the animations very slowly? [02:16] i need fast response system, in debian i use xfce [02:16] tomreyn, but now my installer got stuck i guess i am looking cycling pointer for 5 minutes :( i can move it around but ubuntu doesnt seem to responding me at all... [02:16] You could try Lubuntu or Kubuntu, they are lightweight ubuntu flavors [02:17] Lubuntu have LXQT and Kubuntu KDE Plasma [02:17] tomreyn, clock even is stuck it is showing me like 5 mins ago [02:17] newuser444467899: "Fast" on limited harware is a minimal install, then only add what you truely need. [02:18] lubuntu and kde and xubuntu not siutable for me [02:18] why? [02:18] i have bugg with my mose [02:18] Afterwards, i think that the problem isnt Ubuntu [02:18] Hibrit: so it froze [02:18] You have 8gb of ram, and maybe a good processor [02:18] tomreyn, yes it froze unfortunutely [02:18] The problem is in sofware, some driver [02:19] Hibrit: but on windows it did not freeze? [02:19] tomreyn, i ll try a hard reset after try the install one more time tho [02:19] in debian xfce i disabel all animation and turn off compisitor vsync [02:19] Munsko: Lower overhaed with the mininmal - I do run real old hardware and the difference between a standard install and minimal is significant. [02:19] tomreyn, nope windows installation works just fine [02:19] how i can do it on ubuntu [02:20] Bashing-om Didnt know that, good tip [02:20] and this window shade is killing me [02:21] If you cant use the oter flavours you could install a new DE on your Ubuntu [02:21] Like those that Lubuntu,Kubuntu or Xubuntu have [02:21] Hibrit: it's getting too late for me now but since you are able to at least boot the system now this means you can also get a kernel log and share it here. doing so may help folks here to suggest workarounds for stabilizing the system during the installation. [02:22] i think this cause problem for my mose [02:22] newuser444467899, the DE? [02:22] Its just a graphical thing, i think [02:22] tomreyn, before you go if you can mention how could i get the kernel log it would be really apperaciated [02:22] Munsko yeah [02:22] Hibrit: i.e., from the installer, running in a terminal: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:22] You will not delete driver or those things [02:23] tomreyn, thank you so so much for everything [02:24] Hibrit: actually this is the full system log for the current boot. if you want just the kernel it's: dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:24] Hibrit: you're welcome, good luck. [02:24] tomreyn, Thanks :) [02:26] what i need to install gnome-tweaks or gnome-tweak-tool? [02:30] Munsko, hey i have managed to boot the live usb but now i have another issue which is installer is stucking at the point that i hit next after checking third party software and also it is stuck when i hit try ubuntu before installation what can it be.. [02:31] Have you connected to internet before do that installation in the pc? [02:31] Because i think that the 3rd party option will try to download the drivers that dont have [02:31] Munsko, yes i have connected [02:31] After that i dont have idea why, try wait some minutes [02:33] Munsko, okey ill try waiting but the part when it froze when i hit try ubuntu got me a little worried [02:33] Maybe is loading something, so try wait [02:34] Munsko, okey thanks [02:51] Hibrit, worked? [02:53] Munsko, nope it didnt worked but i'm trying something else now i have managed to start try ubuntu with nomodeset and now i have erased my entire ssd for the sake of the installation now i will try to install again [02:54] Ok, you could try to remake the ISO [02:54] the live cd [02:55] Maybe something went wrong there, but remember put the same options(if not you will not be able to bootit as before) [02:55] Munsko, yesssss i have managed to step forward with erasing the entire ssd i mean windows [02:55] Munsko, now i will select erase and install ubuntu without any options [02:55] Well [02:56] wait [02:56] For convenience you could create partitions [02:56] Munsko, okey i stopped [02:56] I mean, the "/" , the "/home" [02:56] And make the /swap partition(dont know if this one is needed btw, i made it always) [02:56] Munsko, well if you can guide me i culd try [02:57] *could* [02:57] You could find how make them properly, im not really sure of the options [02:57] Because i use a tutorial to do them always [02:57] But is in spanish [02:57] :D [02:57] Munsko, okey :D so ill look for a tutorial [02:58] You will find it very easy [02:58] Isnt a hard thing, but its very important to know the options [03:01] Munsko, okey i find a tutorial and did the partitioning with just a swap and root directory and now im installing [03:05] Munsko, installation is complete but im not sure if i have to use nomodeset again and how actually. now i am restarting the system as usual [03:06] Try restart withut the usb putted [03:06] and see whats happen [03:06] Munsko, trying rn [03:10] Munsko, well now im stuck with anther black screen with some information about nuveau says failed to idle channel 2 [03:10] *another* [03:10] Try to copy what it says [03:11] I dont have idea about that, but you could try to search it here: https://askubuntu.com/ [03:11] Or just in google [03:11] But save the info abou the error [03:12] I think that noveau is something related to graphics [03:13] Yes [03:13] Its the free sofware alternative to Nvidia drivers if im not wrong [03:13] Munsko, well the screen is gone after a couple of minutes and i get a login screen now when i try to log in i got a purple screen with no response [03:14] Munsko, i guess i should use nomodeset to avoid that untill i get a proper driver but i dont know how to use nomodeset without a grub [03:14] I found this : "https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4etbsw/nouveau_error_during_installation_of_ubuntu_gnome/" [03:15] Maybe it isnt the same problem that you [03:15] You could isable the noveau [03:15] disable* [03:16] With the command that the author added in one coment [03:16] Hibrit: Lurking over yall's shoulder. At the login screen try to activate a terminal - ctl+alt+F2; can you log into the system here with your username and password ( no response to the screen when password is entered)? If so we can do some poking about. [03:16] Bashing-om, i am waiting ubuntu to boot now as soon as it boot i ll try that [03:18] Hibrit: Should boot in a matter of seconds, else there is a problem. [03:19] Bashing-om, it is stuck in a black screen now but the last time it skipped this section in about 3 4 mins [03:19] Bashing-om, oww okey now i get a login screen [03:20] Bashing-om, okey when i press ctrl+alt+f2 i get a screen with god knows what says just a bunch of information [03:21] Hibrit: Laptop with dual graphics chips ? [03:21] and a blinking cursor but i cant write anything [03:21] Bashing-om, yes [03:21] so i did i did do-release-upgrade from 19.10 and im having some weird issues. i cant load up sshd etc how can i run a check or figure this thing out? [03:22] Bashing-om, i feel like i could workaround this with a nomodeset boot option but it boots without a grub screen showing so i dont know how to [03:22] Try enter in safemode [03:22] I mean safe graphic mode [03:23] Its a option in grub i think [03:23] Have to go now, hope you get solution [03:27] Hibrit: External keyboard ? No keyboard in terminal makes me consider what bios is passing to the operating system. Then, is there settings in bios for USB settings ? [03:29] Bashing-om, nope it is internal but problem is not the keyboard working the problem is the terminal screen [03:30] Bashing-om, i will try another method now i am wondering if i could get a workaround [03:31] Bashing-om, with a live usb i ll go try ubuntu and from there i will try to edit installed ubuntu's files and add nomodeset grub option [03:31] Hibrit: You are making progress, now untill we can get a working terminal there is not much that can be done :( [03:32] Bashing-om, if i can wor it around can you help me install proper drivers please :) [03:33] Hibrit: Yeah -- i know somewhat about Nvidia drivers. We must have a terminal for my procedure. [03:34] Bashing-om, okey working on it ^^ [03:37] Bashing-om, okkeeeyyy i have worked it around and opened ubuntu desktop ^^ now i have a terminal access [03:39] Bashing-om, now what do we do to install proper drivers [03:40] Hibrit: Great - in termianl do ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' the result is a URL back in terminl, Pass that link back here - will have the contents of that log file, [03:42] Bashing-om, https://termbin.com/iael [03:42] Hibrit: reading. [03:44] hello [03:44] Hibrit: Ouch ! "Error: can't access /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/driver". Is the nvidia card turned off in the firmware (bios ?) Secure boot disabled ? [03:45] So, i had three partitions on my laptop one for kali linux, one for ubuntu, and one for windows. I deleted the kali linux and the ubunut, and accidently deleted the system reserve partition for windows. [03:45] Bashing-om, yes i have disabled secure boot but it could be due to my nomodeset boot command which got me access to desktop and also terminal [03:46] Now, all i get is Error: no such partition. Entering rescue mode when I turn on my computer. [03:46] I cannot boot from a usb stick for some reason i think grub is blocking it or does not support booting from a usb to install an operating system === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [03:47] Hibrit: Good thought ! Yeah that is a possibility. [03:48] Anyone good with grub rescue? [03:48] Bashing-om, i guess that nouveau thing is what causing me problems [03:50] anyone able to help me please? [03:51] Hibrit: We can sure try and install the proprietary driver. In small steps: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' runs all clean ? [03:52] Bashing-om, i have runned commands now waiting [03:53] :( [03:54] Bashing-om, yes both command executed properly without any errors [03:54] *commands* [03:54] !patience | anonyous28174 [03:54] anonyous28174: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [03:55] Hibrit: Terminal command ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . where now did you set nomodeset ? As we need to revert that maybe. [03:56] Bashing-om, i can revert that easily but should i do that after or before i run ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' [03:58] Hibrit: Well, ideally would be great if you can boot the system without nomodeset. [03:59] Bashing-om, yes of course all in all with that in place i could not be able to use my nvidia gpu [03:59] Okay, new question. So, I am stuck at grub recovery. I have no way to recover a partition because I cannot find one. Is there are way to find a partition on a flash drive and recover my computer from the partition on a flash drive? [04:00] Hibrit: IF you can boot to the login screen without the nomoseset parameter - that wil suffice for our case. [04:01] Bashing-om, i have disabled nomodeset and waiting for ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' command to finish we will see in a min i guess [04:01] anonyous28174: You can, if and only if your boot firmware supports reading from USB and you have a USB drive with the same filesystem as your normally installed system, and containing a /boot/grub/ from an install of grub that's fairly close to the same version as you had installed for your system. [04:02] anonyous28174: But if your boot firmware supported reading from USB, it would also probably support booting from it. [04:02] Bashing-om, after ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' command finishes should i do anything at all ? [04:02] i mean like selecting new driver or so [04:03] Hello, Jordan. Is there a way to check that? I mean when i type ls with the usb plugged in It detects it ? [04:03] anonyous28174: That's exactly it. Run "ls" and see if your USB drive is listed. [04:03] another option would be to disable grub? Idk, if you can do that from grub rescue? [04:04] Hibrit: Nope, if the command completed with no errors - *and* nomedeset is removed - reboot the machine to see the effect, We hope we have a normal boot :D [04:04] because right now when i boot my computer with a flash drive it will not boot to a flash drive. [04:04] anonyous28174: Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based machine? [04:04] bios [04:04] Bashing-om, okey than wish me luck i'm rebooting [04:05] Hibrit: No luck here ---- All skill :P [04:05] Bashing-om, heeyyy i guess it worked just fine im looking at my desktop :D [04:06] what i originally tried to do jordan was ls into each partition. [04:06] says files system is unknown [04:06] Hibrit: Well - Ain't that nice :P [04:07] Bashing-om, how can we check if everything works with ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' this command again ? [04:07] Hibrit: Would ^^ be nice to know - sure ! [04:07] then i tried set boot=(hd0,msdos1) set prefix=(hd0,msdos1) insmod normal normal [04:07] and it failed [04:08] Bashing-om, https://termbin.com/uzdj [04:08] anonyous28174: That's because your rescue environment only has filesystem support for one filesystem, the one that was used with your root (or boot) partition. [04:08] anonyous28174: Most likely ext4. But you don't have any ext4 partitions anymore, and the ext4 driver can't read from ntfs. [04:08] Bashing-om, i ain't see any errors there =D =D =D =D =D i guess it finally worked ... [04:09] So, how do i get around this to get something on my computer unbuntu, windows? [04:09]
