[01:30] I have had this problem for the past few days (again). [01:30] kiwi_banal: Not seeing that here. [01:31] kiwi_banal: I don't think I've ever seen that; the more common problem is ISPs running proxies without telling customers, and the proxies failing [01:31] Hmmm, I've tried different mirrors, switched off ipv6, ... I am in Nepal at the moment [01:32] ... and they may be having 'issues' with India (bloody politics) [01:33] I've had it before. `sudo apt update` would fail to reach the servers with a 101 error. [01:33] kiwi_banal: nepal telecom runs two mirrors https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [01:35] Yeah, I've tried both ntc.net.np and ubuntu.ntc.net.np but still no update success. [01:39] Thanks @sarnold and @mason. I might just try patience... [01:39] kiwi_banal: Hope it resolves for you presently. [01:39] kiwi_banal: oh :( well, you could try the canonical instances, or pick mirrors from another nearby place? [01:40] kiwi_banal: yandex? docker.ru? [01:42] I've tried a few different mirrors but am still getting the 101 error. [01:43] I'm not familiar with yandex. [01:45] they're just a big internet company in russia [01:45] ahh, right. I found the yandex browser on search. [01:46] I'll keep looking but this problem has silently resolved itself in the past. [01:47] it might be a problem on the mirror your using, but it feels more likely to be an error of the web proxies that your ISP is probably using [01:47] good luck kiwi_banal :) [01:47] Cheers :) === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray === coetzeer1 is now known as coetzeer [03:20] sarnold: Are you still on? [03:20] RonWhoCares: yeah [03:21] sarnold: I've decided to do a fresh install. The new RAID1 has been created. [03:21] RonWhoCares: ha! certainly it's quick and easy... I hope moving your data over isn't too bad [03:22] sarnold: I don't have anything really to loose. The installation I did a week ago was a test. This is a new computer I'm commission for my home recording studio [03:22] RonWhoCares: oh! :D very nice [03:22] I should add this is for self employment. I am not asking you to help me in the context of some big corporation trying to get free advice [03:23] In very simple terms I have a physical disability. I'm now trying to make a go of self employment focusing on what I can do and not what I can't. [03:23] sarnold: So my question now is: Do I need to designate an EFI boot partition during the new installation? [03:24] I have the ability to select the RAID I just created ( /dev/md127 or something like that) [03:24] RonWhoCares: I haven't actually run through the desktop installer on an EFI system; I expected it to just create one automatically if the system booted to UEFI to run the installer [03:25] sarnold: The installer is cautioning that if I don't create an EFI partition it is to my own peril [03:25] But if I do this I'm going to wreck the RAID [03:25] aha, very handy check :) [03:26] RonWhoCares: so, that sounds a bit like a "manual partitioning" route? create a new partition on each disk, 1g or so, at the start, the rest to another partition, and select raid on just the big partitions.. [03:27] sarnold: This runs head long into the guidance of answer #2 you linked earlier. [03:28] RonWhoCares: hmm, does it? the idea is you'd wind up with two EFI partitions, one on each disk, no raid on them; and then one large partition on each disk, that you would raid together [03:29] OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [03:29] That means I need to re-do the RAID :p [03:29] I specified the whole disk [03:29] Unless I edit the partition [03:30] sarnold: I have an objective question: [03:30] sarnold: I am sure I saw in the BIOS that I had the option to use EFI or not [03:30] use EFI [03:31] the "legacy" or "csm" mode made sense a decade back (give or take) but support for EFI is a lot better these days, and probably better than the "legacy" mode offered by the system [03:32] sarnold: What you've said makes sense to me [03:32] It seems this comes down to the same idea as the single board computers I've purchased as my servers [03:33] sarnold: I either go the route of using an SD card for the boot partition and then use the SSD's for booting and recording [03:33] RonWhoCares: I [03:34] sarnold: Or the boot partition is on the SSD's themselves [03:34] RonWhoCares: I've used SD cards a few times on arm systems and all have died after only a few months -- I wouldn't want to make an sd card do anything important [03:34] even though I had gone to some effort to try to reduce the amount of write workload on those systems [03:35] sarnold: I don't know what you'll think of my next comment [03:35] I do have some mSATA's here I could use as a boot partition through a USB3.0 port [03:36] I know SD card's fail when they are wrote to [03:37] RonWhoCares: hehe, yeah, I've never tried booting to usb3, it might even work out okay, but I strongly prefer my systems to have as few 'moving parts' as possible.. [03:37] RonWhoCares: if the usb 3.0 is a header *inside* the machine, maybe that'd be okay [03:37] but I'd rather boot to drives [03:38] sarnold: Is EFI the "in thing" [03:38] RonWhoCares: yeah, I bet you'd have trouble finding a new BIOS-only computer these days [03:39] I purchased really good SSD hard drives [03:39] There is a real possibility of them outliving the computer [03:40] I need to be able to transplant them [03:40] I get what you are saying about "moving parts" [03:52] sarnold: Thank you [03:53] RonWhoCares: you're welcome, have fun :) [03:53] RonWhoCares: I'm about to head off to make dinner, but chances are good someone else will be around if you've got more questions [03:53] sarnold: I am. The part I'm really looking forward to is authoring books themed around living with a physical disability, making audio versions of these and them really making an impact for people who are struggling. [03:55] RonWhoCares: oh that sounds cool -- have you seen LaTeX yet? it's .. a bit old, a bit creaky in some ways, but the output is *beautiful*, and imho worth the effort of learning latex [03:56] RonWhoCares: I'm sure latex helped me through college, professors always said they liked reading my papers :) hehe [03:56] :) [03:56] lol latex [03:56] that learning curve is a bit steep, though. heh.

[10:12] jhan100: did you try sudo update-grub ? [10:13] EriC^^ That was supposed to be but didnt... [10:13] EriC^^, as I said it can not find a module fuse [10:13] "modprobe fuse" fails [10:14] hey guys [10:14] mra90: and as i said 'exact line' please [10:14] Generating grub configuration file ...grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. EriC^^ [10:14] jhan100: can you pastebin 'sudo parted -ls' output? [10:14] Probably because of ZFS pool as it's taking full / [10:15] https://pastebin.com/ShWLSvSD [10:16] jhan100: in nvme1n1 the 'esp' marked partition is ntfs, it should be fat32 for uefi [10:17] jhan100: actually, i misread the size, it's 418gb, not sure why it's marked as esp though [10:18] EriC^^ nvme1n1 is not a big deal right now.. It's a new partition that I've created just to save data from my Ubuntu Users Home.. [10:19] but everything is already backedup...

[10:32] The menu it's creating, Can see windows and everything... probably windows efi messed the Ubuntu's one. [10:36] EriC^^ As I am already have the backup, I am really thinking in get everything back to Old Boot (MBR) and reinstall everything, but to be honest that's painfull.. I was trying to overcome that and use only Linux (grub ) and not the Bios Boot Loader [10:41] jhan100: right now ubuntu is not booting in uefi mode? [10:41] jhan100: if you hold shift when you turn the pc on, do you get a grub menu? [10:42] Basically it boots ( I am using it ). Switch in the BIOS, it boots, shows me grubs menu and I can select it.. it works EriC^^ but I can not change it. [10:43] jhan100: you mean that you have to press a button each time you boot to get ubuntu menu [10:43] jhan100: ok, type 'sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999' [10:44] https://termbin.com/inzvEriC^^ [10:44] https://termbin.com/inzv [10:47] jhan100: right now when you boot the pc, i didnt understand exactly what is going on, you have to enter the bios and do what so it works? [10:48] The bios is just to set the boot order, I mean, my bios can select what is the driver that will be booting .. EriC^^ [10:48] jhan100: is the bios set to uefi mode only, with csm legacy disabled? [10:49] Yep, its disabled and security also...but its booting in UEFI [10:49] EriC^^ [10:55] jhan100: ok, one question is this ubuntu or debian? [10:56] Ubuntu.... cat /etc/issueUbuntu 20.04 LTS \n \l [10:56] EriC^^ [10:58] jhan100: ok, im trying to understand how you're booting currently cause sometimes the uefi list in the bios can be altered from there, other times the bios is stubborn and you have to manually choose ubuntu using the run time boot options menu, in that case we can do a workaround so the bios boots ubuntu thinking it's windows [10:58] so how exactly are you getting it to boot right now, so to know what's a good approach to the matter [11:02] @Eric Basically in the BIOS I can see those three you saw in efibootmgr 's outputs. Rigtht now in fact, it boots debian (but that is just Grubs console), so I press exit; and then it appears Ubuntu's grub menulist..So, it loads ubuntu. [11:02] @Eric [11:02] makes sense now ? [11:03] jhan100: ok, is this list in the actual bios (the main one with many menus etc) or is it just a screen that pops up when you start the pc and press a certain key [11:04] jhan100: there's the run time boot menu (it lets you choose an entry for that single boot) and there's the main uefi list in the bios (for some pc's), which is it? [11:04] the main one with many menus etc, I can see three, windows ubuntu and debian [11:04] i see [11:04] jhan100: ok, you should be able to get ubuntu to the top of the list, so it tries to boot that first [11:04] jhan100: in some bios, they dont allow you to modify the list until you set an administrator password for the bios, acer does that and others might too [11:05] Yes... that works... If I just press "f7" while booting the machine I can select that also.. EriC^^ [11:06] What I am afraid of, also, is that I will never be able to upgrade my kernel since I can not rewrite grub to MBR... [11:34] is there a way with the ssh command to define the location of your public key say for example its on a flash drive E:/ === coetzeer1 is now known as coetzeer [11:35] EriC^^ Thank you man...

[11:40] Rob_Jones -i [11:40] cheers quadrathoch2 [11:43] jhan100: we could try to switch the files real quick to trick the bios into booting it [11:44] Well .. Its up to you, just give me the path ..

Right now, I've got a VM running Ubuntu 20.04, and I'm using netplan for network configuration. I have specified two DNS servers, the first being my internal and the second being my gateway. Unfortunately, whenever I reboot my internal DNS server, resolved likes to mark it as offline and switch solely to the gateway, which results in it never switching back to my internal DNS server. Is there a way to get resolved to keep [14:40] retrying DNS servers it marks as offline? Or do I need to do something more drastic, like only supplying that VM with the IP for my internal DNS, so it has nothing to round-robin to?

What am I missing? === haasn` is now known as haasn [14:51] I have a problem trying to do "modprobe fuse" [14:51] this is the error message "modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+" [14:51] mra90: find /lib/modules | grep fuse [14:52] mason, I have done that already [14:52] and cp to that lib mod probe is searching [14:52] but it did not help [14:52] i have no fuse.ko in my pc [14:52] i have this though, not sure if it's related /lib/modules/4.4.0-154-generic/kernel/fs/fuse/cuse.ko [14:53] mra90: Just copying a module in isn't sufficient. You also need to run depmod against the proper kernel version. [14:53] EriC^^, same on my side [14:53] mason, how to do this? [14:53] mra90: sudo depmod 4.4.0-154-generic [14:54] mra90: this going to sound silly, but it says online you need to reboot possibly [14:54] mra90: It's worth questioning why you need to copy in a module by hand, though. That probably indicates a procedural error of some sort. [14:54] mra90: why are you messing with 5.8.0-rc1+ ? [14:54] EriC^^: Reboot won't invoke depmod. [14:54] mra90: try doing this 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo reboot' [14:55] mra90: if you only concern yourself with supported kernels (5.8.0-rc1+ isn't one of them) then you won't have this issue [14:55] EriC^^: That also won't necessarily invoke depmod. [14:55] leftyfb, I used this kernel for my dev work [14:55] mason: care to elaborate on 2nd answer here? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/363583/cant-mount-ntfs-on-arch-linux/364627 [14:56] EriC^^: What's it say? [14:56] mra90: I can almost guarantee you that the unsupported kernel is the issue [14:56] "Your issue is that you haven't rebooted since upgrading your kernel, so you cannot load any of the kernel modules you require." [14:56] Oh, that's only vaguely related. Yes, you can't load a module for a different kernel version. [14:56] EriC^^, simply NO [14:56] I have rebooted many times actually [14:57] mason, so how to fix this modprobe fuse error [14:57] mra90: If it says "not found" then run the command I gave you. [14:57] do you mean "sudo depmod 4.4.0-154-generic"? [14:58] That's the only one. [14:58] how did you come up with "4.4.0-154-generic"? [14:59] I don't have such [14:59] I am needing help with a "grub-install" syntax. The efi partition is /dev/sdd1 . The Ubuntu installation is on /dev/md127 . Could someone tell me the correct syntax for grub-install ? === mateen1 is now known as mateen [15:00] RonWhoCares: sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi && sudo update-grub [15:00] you'll need to mount /dev/sdd1 to /boot/efi first [15:00] mra90: Oh, I read EriC^^'s line as yours. Please tell us what the right directory is in /lib/modules, or simply use that directory name and run depmod against it. [15:01] mason, ok but what do you mean by "right directory"? [15:01] OK [15:01] mra90: the rc kernel [15:01] mra90: Please put "ls /lib/modules" up at bpaste.net or similar. [15:01] mra90: Your modules live in there, one directory per installed kernel. [15:02] mra90: You say "depmod foo" as root where "foo" is the correct directory name. [15:02] Robert_Zenz: the efi dir should be mounted already, but sudo mount /boot/efi won't harm [15:02] Robert_Zenz: ah nevermind, you're doing this from a chroot yeah? you have to mount it somewhere and use that dir in the command, as tespi suggested [15:03] i mean *chroot = live usb, not chroot [15:03] mason, one min, btw after apt-get dist-upgrade which EriC^^ recommeneded my OS is fuc** up [15:03] screen size is 200% no network no audio devices, ... [15:04] mra90: that's a standard update/maintenance line, your system is f... up not cause of that [15:04] can I revert it? [15:04] lol and never upgrade? [15:04] negative IQ chat here happening [15:05] because without network its hard for me to pastebin the output [15:05] so I wanted temporraly get back [15:05] mra90: boot a live usb and chroot [15:05] mra90: your driver issues (screen network, audio) is more than likely caused by having no modules loaded for that rc kernel you're running. [15:05] ok I managed to do it by kernel *reinstall* [15:06] mra90: boot into a supported kernel and you shouldn't have any issues [15:06] Reinstall is a bit heavy-handed but will work, yes. [15:07] mason, this is my /lib/modules/ output https://termbin.com/qqpa [15:07] mra90: A good rule of thumb, don't deviate from the defaults unless you can fix anything that is broken or breaks in the non-default set-up. [15:08] thats utopia [15:08] It's what I do. [15:09] so i have listed directories [15:09] EriC^^: I received an error. I put more details here: https://pastebin.com/xzncPFMP [15:09] should I do depmod 5.8.0-rc1+ now? [15:09] EriC^^: Do you have a minute to look? [15:09] mra90: Sure, so valid commands would include "depmod 5.3.0-28-generic" or "depmod 5.8.0-rc1+ [15:09] or similar, but if you reinstalled the kernel, you shouldn't have to do that again. [15:10] mra90: do you have the modules package installed for that rc kernel? [15:10] mason, I did it and then tried modprobe fuse again [15:10] no luck [15:10] mra90: I'm guessing, since you say you copied it in, that it's for another kernel, and won't work with that one. Just a guess. [15:11] why v5.8-rc1 and not v5.8-rc4 ???? [15:11] grinn [15:11] also find /lib/modules | grep fuse doesn't return fuse.ko [15:11] leftyfb, I may have missed that part [15:11] how should I do it correctly? [15:11] mra90: I thought "this is what I do" [15:12] mason, the point is I need fuse.ko file right? [15:12] mra90: This is newer, but: https://bpa.st/T43Q [15:12] mra90: also, are you sure you need a kernel module specifically called "fuse"? If so, for what exactly? There's no module called "fuse" loaded in standard installs of ubuntu [15:12] RonWhoCares: checking.. [15:12] EriC^^: Thanks [15:12] mra90: Pretty sure you want cuse.ko anyway. [15:13] https://bryanpendleton.blogspot.com/2011/02/fuse-cuse-and-uio.html [15:13] mra90: Sorry I missed that at the start. [15:14] Has anyone noticed on 20.04 (v5.4) the kernel loses significant time (days) and therefore the dmesg timestamps are way out, whereas the hardware clock, and the system time, are accurate? [15:14] mra90: so you're trying to follow a random article from 9 years ago? [15:14] leftyfb, if you haven;t noticed mason pasted it not me [15:14] RonWhoCares: can you set up a chroot? e.g mount the rootfs at /mnt, then type "for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done' then type "sudo chroot /mnt" then "mount -a" then from there just run "grub-install && update-grub" it should work [15:14] TJ-: Not here. Clocks across several systems are locked right in. Are you running ntpd? [15:14] mra90: fuse module is built-in [15:14] mra90: oh sorry, I didn't notice hat. [15:15] TJ- so why it fails for me? [15:15] leftyfb: I was *offering* a random article from nine years ago. :P [15:15] mason: it's kernel only, possibly due to suspend/resume cycles [15:15] mra90: If it's built in, you can't load it. [15:15] mra90: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [15:15] mra90: I haven't been following along; I was purely letitng folks know the fuse module is built-in [15:16] TJ-, okay good point [15:16] leftyfb, the problem is I can not mount external (500gb) hard drive [15:16] sorry not a hard driver usb flash rather [15:16] mra90: you really should lead with that [15:16] mra90: "grep FUSE /boot/config-$(uname -r)" [15:16] smaller usb pendrives are fine [15:17] mra90: that may be due to needing to load a USB mass storage kernel module, such as 'uas' [15:17] TJ-, config fuse is not seet [15:17] mra90: you have no kernel modules properly installed for your rc(unsupported) kernel [15:18] leftyfb, how to correct that? [15:18] mra90: also, rc(unsupported) the kernel you have installed isn't built the same way the supported kernels are [15:18] mra90: what kernel version? I see "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y" [15:18] mra90: Run a supported kernel. That is, FWIW, the only kind supported here. [15:19] mason, how to generate config for such a kernel? [15:19] mra90: mra90 sudo apt install linux-modules-$(uname -r) [15:19] mra90: hint: ^ this isn't going to work because you're running an unsupported kernel [15:20] EriC^^: So you are saying to isolate the new Ubuntu installation, have it mount the paths needed. Then grub will install correctly [15:20] mra90: why exactly are you running the unsupported kernel again? [15:20] TJ-, can i ask you someting about your script? (https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/acpi_osi.sh) [15:20] coconut: sure [15:21] leftyfb, I am developing some audio driver [15:21] mra90: maybe start with doing it against a supported kernel? [15:21] RonWhoCares: yeah 'chroot' into the install, and it would be as if you booted it, somewhat, and then the grub efi in the install will run and it should have all the efi stuff to distribute them in the dirs [15:22]
