[00:29] Thanks for the help [00:29] lamiastella, most image apps can set compression, this can touch image quality, gimp can do this pretty neat. [00:30] what about using terminal oerheks I need to do this for like 20 images [00:30] probably imagemagick can do it [00:30] lamiastella, maybe imagmagick is your tool, not that easy to use [00:31] or graphicsmagick, whatevver you've got installed [00:31] oerheks, yes, I specified in a pervious post. [00:31] and how would you check for quality on comandline? [00:33] do i need to install pkg-config:i386 or something? === mooses is now known as mouses [00:33] kwhat4, no, just run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [00:34] then you can install whatever you want [00:34] yah thats what i did [00:34] if you are pointing to :i386 as extention, yes.

This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d [01:39] k_sze: t should have been available with the release of 20.04.1 but it's still not ready for some reason.

[03:18] Actually in any ubuntu flavor, how to make desktop temperature green (like redshift makes it yellow/red)? [03:18] Intelo: why? [03:18] gnome3 has that build in. [03:18] oerheks: green? [03:19] leftyfb: good for eyes? [03:19] leftyfb: same reason why people use redshit [03:19] Intelo: that would be red/yellow, not green [03:19] leftyfb: or warm temperature mode [03:19] leftyfb: yes, green is also good for eyes. Its a matter of taste maybe? [03:19] not sure what colour you get.. [03:19] oerheks: what do you mean? [03:20] oerheks: what color I get from where? [03:20] Intelo: since blue light is bad for your eyes and green is closer to blue than yellow or red, I'm going to go with green is not all that good for you [03:20] leftyfb: correct, blue is bad [03:20] the nightshift thingy in gnome makes colours softer, not green, red or whatever [03:20] but green is good I heard. Its of trees. Doctors say watch greenery [03:21] oerheks: I seek a command line tool as it would work for all desktop evns [03:21] envs [03:21] oerheks: or one that works with xfce and kde [03:21] Intelo: you heard wrong [03:21] thats what I use [03:21] leftyfb: are you 'sure'? [03:22] Intelo: not for a computer screen [03:22] https://iristech.co/what-is-the-best-color-temperature/ [03:22] "Thus to select the best value we will need to select the value with lowest blue light and highest green light, but green light should also be reduced for best eye protection and sleep." [03:22] leftyfb: can you share any authoritative link [03:22] leftyfb: some medical one like pubmed /nih.gov [03:22] etc [03:22] leftyfb: oh so it says 'higest greenlight' [03:23] so, how to make thing green ? :O [03:23] :) === CaptainCringe is now known as disillusion [03:23] install a green theme? [03:24] Intelo: whatever, do what you want. I'm going with it's a bad idea, based on an article from experts on light and how it affects the eyes and some common sense. You're going based on doctors telling you to watch folliage [03:24] -l [03:26] leftyfb: ok, well why not try and see the effect? if eyes get tired soon, green is bad. [03:26] omg [03:26] leftyfb: oerheks good discussion though but as for the tech question, what are the ways I can make color green instead of yellow/red (like with redshit)? [03:27] Intelo: because I know enough about the problem to understand your test isn't valid since eye fatigue is only part of the problem/symptoms from staring at a computer screen [03:27] some choose a dark theme.. [03:28] oerheks: already have, with yellow redhift. Facing headaches [03:28] well was facing. Not now [03:28] but want to experiment further [03:28] this dark yellow is good so far [03:28] though. [03:28] Intelo: then go do something else, away from a screen. Changing to green is going in the wrong direction [03:29] let me try [03:29] how can I do it green? [03:29] Intelo: changing to green is going closer to blue and away from red [03:29] Ok. what other colors are good for eyes? [03:32] leftyfb: ? [03:32] Intelo: the closer to red the better [03:33] hm. [03:33] Intelo: hence the name, redshift [03:33] how about gryscale? [03:34] alternativeto.net gives lots of options for redshift [03:34] Intelo: the point is to take the blue out of the whites. If you are greyscale, you still have bright white(blue) [03:35] leftyfb: good point [03:35] oerheks: ok [03:35] leftyfb: if we exclude blue from grayscale, what will be left? [03:43] oerheks: cannot find a valid thing that makes color change to another color than yellow/red [03:46] i have no idea either, gnome3 just alters the Kelvin value. [03:49] oerheks: how can I alter things my self? like the gammar or xrandr or something (whatever its called)? [03:50] look at alternativeto.net for a commandline tool that works on all linux version? [03:56] oerheks: yes [03:56] oerheks: cannot find a valid thing that makes color change to another color than yellow/red < [04:00] leftyfb: https://imgur.com/3mnr6ij.png [04:04] Intelo: just develop your own custom redshift like application, and share it with the open source community. You'd be like a national hero. [04:07] hi all -- are there any ubuntu-based apps (or stacks of apps) people recommend for building an easy-to-manage firewall/router on Ubuntu, to replace a VyOS router? VyOS is ok-ish, but I'd prefer to have a box that does the routing, but can run other software [04:08] !ufw [04:08] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [04:09] oerheks: I'm not sure how well ufw can be used to manage gateway services [04:10] aum: https://medium.com/@exesse/how-to-make-a-simple-router-gateway-from-ubuntu-server-18-04-lts-fd40b7bfec9 [04:10] a simple netplan as router https://www.ascinc.com/blog/linux/how-to-build-a-simple-router-with-ubuntu-server-18-04-1-lts-bionic-beaver/ [04:10] I want to set up PPPoE VLAN connection direct to ISP, basic firewall, routing based on ports, NAT based on origin and/or destination IPs/ports [04:10] oh, maybe the same info [04:11] aum: buy Unifi gear [04:12] aum: Pfsense [04:12] thanks folks [04:21] tatertotz: so in short, there is no way existing that makes green instead of warm desktop? === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [05:47] Intelo: it'll exist after you develop it, name it "greenshift". [05:49] tatertotz: ok :) [05:50] oerheks: leftyfb redshift -g 2:4:0.1 ? works but does not changes the white screen. `redshift -O 2000 does makes it yellow though. === oerheks is now known as DT_oerheks === DT_oerheks is now known as oerheks [07:34] Hi, in my laptop I was able to enter into bios by f2 key while booting... But after installing Ubuntu and then windows, now I couldn't get into bios, now if I press f2 key while booting it shows only os selection option... Could anyone help me to sort it out??? [07:34] ravisankar: what laptop model? [07:35] Hi there, i would like to change my default file manager in ubuntu 20.04 which is nautilus i believe, now the thing i am curious about how i change the window which pops up when i need to select a location for another application, for example when i select a download directory or a place where my program should save something [07:35] Samsung np300e5x [07:36] thyriaen, changing filemanager is easy. the window where to put files is basicly the same [07:36] ravisankar: try to make a bios update [07:37] oerheks, so how do i change the default file manager ? ( i checked "default applications" in the settings, and there is no spot for it ) [07:37] ravisankar: also try pressing esc, f10 or f4 [07:38] more info here ravisankar https://superuser.com/questions/656956/i-can-t-access-the-bios-setup-using-f2-key-on-samsung-np270e5v-laptop [07:38] thyriaen, tons of guides online, from nautilus > nemo ; https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/07/how-to-replace-nautilus-with-nemo-file.html [07:38] oerheks, i did this: with xdg-mime https://askubuntu.com/questions/84929/how-to-set-up-dolphin-as-default-file-manager but it didn't change it [07:38] or dolphin; xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory [07:38] basicly the same [07:38] after this, logout/login [07:39] oerheks, ah, damn i am dumb [07:39] ok thanks ill relog :p [07:39] :-) [07:40] @EriC^^: if I press esc it shows minimal bash like line editing [07:40] Other keys shows only the options to choose os [07:58] turns out i cannot really remove nautilus without removing gnome-desktop is there a way around that ? [08:14] thyriaen: nautilus is nicely integrated in ubuntu-desktop these days, if you dont like nautilus, dont use it, or choose another !flavour of ubuntu? [08:15] lotuspsychje, yea, i keep clicking around and it is integrated all over the place - i think im gonna get used to it [08:16] thyriaen: another way around is installing another DM ontop your existing ubuntu-desktop and use the file manager there [08:17] lotuspsychje, i really enjoy gnome, i just didn't like nautilus and the terminal :) [08:17] thyriaen: but we usually advice when liking a flavour, to install it clean [08:17] guys? what should i do with no system tray and "this plugin is compiled against incompatible Plasma version 346368 This build is compatible with 5 .0.0 ( 327680 ) to 5.72.0 ( 346172 )"? [08:19] remove plugin, reboot [08:21] BaltecoTroll: restore from the backup you took yesterday [08:29] another bright ideas? [08:30] reinstall the operating system [08:32] or use virtualbox and create a VM taking advantage of snapshots that way next time you get yourself in a similar situation you can revert to a snapshot [08:32] tatertotz: or just downgrade the package needed [08:33] BaltecoTroll: good luck with that [08:42] Hi, I've tried to use this preseed, and it is totally ignored! Have something happened with how you use pre-seeding to partition disks in 18.04? https://askubuntu.com/questions/694395/partman-preseed-partitionning-error [08:43] how can you locate a process by its name? [08:43] ouyes: are you using 20.04 [08:43] ouyes, top or htop ? [08:43] ouyes: What do you mean "locate"? Do you want to know if it's running? "ps -ef | grep " shows it if it's running. [08:43] tatertotz, 18.04 I am an old school [08:44] Cymew, a 4 year old preseed, pre systemd era.. [08:44] ouyes: use the GUI system monitor [08:44] ouyes: its in your menu [08:45] did you try the top preseed, or the 1st answer with green icon? [08:45] oerheks: Exactly, so many things maight have changed. Has it? How do you do now? [08:45] Cymew, here is the real situation, I am using Python multipleprocess.Process to create a process with name parameter(say "myprocess") how can locate this process ? [08:45] oerheks: The answer, as that was confirmed to be working. Back then at least. [08:46] ouyes: If you want to find it using python, I'm of no help. Sorry. [08:46] Cymew, thanks [08:48] Cymew, if the partman LVM example should work, compare it with outher ones, like https://gist.github.com/lorin/5140029 [08:48] and/or https://gist.github.com/CalvinHartwell/f2d7f5dedbfee2d7d47c583539a10859 [08:51] oerheks: I tried Calvin's example, but it wont boot after install. I will test the other link and see if that work better. Never examples are always preferable. It feels like subtle things have changed lately, which makes some d-i attributes not work, and I can't find any good docs on it. It's all end-user facing... [08:52] s/Never/Newer/ [08:55] oerheks: Thanks for the links. Rebooting my vm now with the first example, will see how that goes. [09:04] *sigh* that one does not boot, either. :( [09:04] Something about grub seems to have changed, but what? [09:05] Cymew: what's the problem? [09:16] tatertotz: done with 4:5.19.4-0ubuntu1 [09:17] BaltecoTroll: awesome [09:18] indeed [09:20] EriC^: After the system installed, it rebooted fine but then it wont come up. It looks like something is wrong with grub, as it's not even showing the boot menu. [09:21] Cymew: what happens if you hold shift when you turn the pc on? [09:30] EriC^: It's a vm, so I don't know if that's special, but nothing differs. [09:30] EriC^: i.e. it still wont boot or even show grub. [09:35] It seems different attributes for d-i stops working in different ubuntu releases, and I see no rhyme or reason to it. [09:47] Has anyone else have problems with 20.04 claiming that bluetooth chip does not exist? [09:47] Hmm. Adding "grub-installer/bootdev=/dev/sda" to the kernel line did force it to actually install grub. It did also actually create a lvm volume, but skipped one lvm. Odd. But, it's progress! [09:48] I'm using a thinkpad T450s and it mos definately has a BT chip... [09:48] I really get the impression very few ubuntu users use debian installer to do anything but automatic partitioning... [09:48] elias_a: that doesn't mean it's got a "supported" bt chip [09:50] tatertotz: Quite right! Is there a list of supported chips somewhere? [09:54] elias_a: post URL from terminal for> lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:55] jeremy31: Here you go! https://termbin.com/i3u4 [09:56] internal would be lspci [09:58] lspci output here: https://termbin.com/2yik [09:59] elias_a: did BT work on a different OS? [09:59] Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 is a double chipset, wifi and bt [09:59] so, i wonder.. [10:00] jeremy31: Not yet. Will test in a minute. [10:00] what gives: rfkill list all [10:00] They make the 7265 with or without bt [10:00] I think this has to do with the problem: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/365395/linux-bluetooth-driver-for-lenovo-thinkpad-t470s [10:00] sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth [10:00] 3 years old, forget that post [10:01] elias_a: The forth item listed in lsusb results on that question is the bluetooth chipset [10:01] jeremy31: So I thought. [10:02] huh ? this one? Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04f2:b449 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Integrated Camera [10:02] I'll test with proprietary OS... [10:02] Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp. [10:03] From unix.stackexchange link [10:03] elias_a: see what oerheks wrote.. try the rfkill commands [10:05] https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/8087 Integrated Hub [10:06] list of Intel BT devices supported by kernel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/tree/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c#n337 [10:23] After having a lot of trouble with radicale (CalDav server), which caldav server do you recommend? I'm on ubuntu 16.04 LTS, no webserver installed [10:25] agopo, 16.04 only has 1 year support left, i would switch to 20.04 .. some tutor https://wissel.net/blog/2020/01/running-a-caldav-server-on-ubuntu.html [10:26] oerheks, I fear breaking my server apps (Minecraft server, TeamSpeak server, Syncthing) by upgrading. Or is that an irrational fear? [10:27] those are doable .. but you need to make the switch to systemD and Netplan and such [10:28] considering autostarts? [10:28] yes, managing services and networking [10:29] if I do dist-upgrade, won't it use my current config? [10:29] if so everything should work right away shouldnt it [10:30] that's why having a backup is so important [10:30] read the releasenotes first https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes [10:30] if disaster strikes, restore from backup [10:30] lots of things changed. [10:32] jeremy31, oerheks - Seems like this laptop does not have BT chip after all. Windows could not find it either. [10:34] That is really odd as manufacturer spec lists BT in all configurations... https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T450s/ThinkPad_T450s_Spec.PDF [10:36] And Lenovo has BIOS whitelist, you just can't drop any wifi card with BT in it [10:50] Good day. I've a dual boot Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 on two separate disks. Upon boot up, my machine loads directly into Ubuntu and isn't picking up Windows - The grub installation didn't fail? [10:52] I initially had Windows 10 as the primary drive with the boot menu on its disk. Then when I swapped disks and put in a new one for ubuntu I set it to the primary, installed and then added in the windows drive and updated grub through the terminal. [10:52] did you update grub yet? [10:53] Yes I rebooted and updated grub [10:54] i think windows ( on UEFI) does not like to be changed [10:55] Bluewolf: in terminal> sudo update-grub2 &> ~/nip.pir [10:55] Bluewolf: you may not see any output let me know when done [10:57] oerheks: I've always had windows as the primary drive. But because I was installing on two different drives, I wasn't sure how to run the installation. I was told to do the above instead. [10:57] tatertotz: Its completed and no output [10:59] so, if windows is installed in UEFI mode, i would change back. [11:00] good luck! [11:00] Bluewolf: in terminal> sudo update-grub &>> ~/nip.pir [11:00] Bluewolf: you may not see any output let me know when done [11:01] oerheks: This is beyond my expertise unfortunately. [11:01] tatertotz: Done [11:05] Bluewolf: in terminal> cat ~/nip.pir|nc termbin.com 9999 [11:05] Bluewolf: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [11:05] tatertotz: https://termbin.com/12cf1 [11:07] Bluewolf: don't see windows anywhere [11:07] tatertotz: Just to clarify, I've an 18.04 boot loader on the windows drive and the 20.04 boot loader on its drive - Because I switched they physical order. [11:08] tatertotz: I assure you, the windows drive is on and I can access it through 'Disks' [11:08] Bluewolf: you'll have to play with "physical" switching more until you get your desired results [11:11] tatertotz: My linux is an EFI system if that causes any issue? [11:11] tatertotz: And you mean switch my linux sda to sdb and windows sdb to sda? [11:12] tatertotz: This isn't the same system as with our previous discussion the other day. This is my main machine now. [11:12] FYI [11:13] Bluewolf: you'll have to just experiment with switching by finding the same motivation that led you to do any form of switching in the first place [11:13] Howdy all [11:13] now you learned; don't switch drives in an UEFI machine [11:13] grinn [11:13] lol [11:14] oerheks: Keep grinning - I'm still learning :P [11:15] tatertotz: Okay, I will do that. In the even I fail, would you be prepared to assist with setting up partitions for ubuntu. I don't mind doing another reinstal? [11:15] *reinstall [11:27] oerheks, tatertotz updating to 20.04.1 at the moment. will report if it worked out [11:33] tatertoz: Sorry, I'm back to bother :( [11:33] No surprise it didn't work. I've returned the drives back to the physical slots and will just simply reinstall and place the boot loader on the Windows drive. [11:33] I'm using this site for reference - https://www.linuxtechi.com/dual-boot-ubuntu-20-04-lts-along-with-windows-10/ [11:35] Bluewolf: let the installer defaults do all the partitioning [11:36] tatertotz: I did the first time and it didn't install the boot loader on the windows partition / drive. The issue I've found is because both OS are on separate drives or perhaps I'm missing something? [11:36] hello [11:37] i have replace gnome with cinnamon on ubuntu 18 [11:37] how do i uninstall gnome now? [11:37] to get rid of all unused packages [11:37] erdem, that is pretty hard to do. [11:38] adding a desktop is no problem, removing one is interesting [11:38] I think it may be better to just reinstall ubuntu with just cinnamon. backing up configs. Otherwise your system will likely break in mysterious ways somewhere in the future. [11:38] Bluewolf: if you cannot get successful dual boot, you can use virtualbox to play with multiple operating systems, much easier to manage and administer [11:38] okay then i will leave it as it i [11:38] *is [11:39] thank you for the advice [11:39] erdem, that is a wise choice. [11:39] Next time when you want to upgrade do a fresh install with just cinnamon. [11:39] sudo apt remove ubuntu-desktop -d # where -d is dry run, just a test, nothing gets deleted [11:40] tatertotz: Unfortunately that won't work for me. I had 18.04 installed just fine along side Windows 10. 20.04 seems like a pain. [11:40] tatertotz: I don't know what to do at this point [11:41] Bluewolf, is your hardware EFI? then it doesnt matter. grub will go on a different boot partition than the windows one and you could boot windows from the linux efi partition or boot windows directly from the BIOS [11:43] Bluewolf: like aiena mentioned, you may have to settle for manually booting the disk you want to boot [11:43] aiena: I think it is EFI, the new one to UEFI (Little confused). [11:44] tatertotz: I did have a boot menu before, that's fine. [11:44] oerheks, tatertotz upgrade succesful. now back to getting a CalDav server to run :P [11:48] I am trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 via PXE and it is working great with the installation, cloud-init and such. However, I use a static user-data file because the PXE will not necessarily know where the server is placed etc. without user interaction. Is there a way to implement an interactive script in the installation process, that will be executed on the console? Ask the user to input certain information. I know how to write script. etc, my missing li [11:49] tatertotz: aiena: These are my options - https://pasteboard.co/Jm17mxZ.png [11:55] Bluewolf, I think the best thing to do would be to use the last option. Manual install. But for that you need to be a bit careful. Take out a piece of paper and use lsblk and write down which partition corresponds to what and then make the linux efi partition and choose to reformat only the root partition (assuming root and home are separate) not touching the windows EFI and other windows partitions (C drive e drive etc.) [11:56] It would be best to do this from the live boot of the OS you cannot investigate partitions if they are mounted [11:57] Bluewolf, but before you reinstall ubuntu, I am wondering if you are using the windows efi parition and therefore not getting the grub menu to boot into linux [11:59] or you are experiencing some other issue booting [12:06] aiena: I'll add context - I've just gotten new hardware and a little unfamiliar with it. I've two separate hard drives, Windows 10 on the first drive (sdb1) and Ubuntu 18.04 on the second (sdc1). I then removed the 18.04 drive and put in an SSD and intended to install 20.04 (Which I did, selecting the option "Erase Entire Disk and Install Ubuntu [12:06] 20.04) [12:06] pon restarting it just booted into the new Ubuntu. I think I made a mistake by not selecting "Something Else" to manually install Grub to the windows drive. [12:07] I'm struggling with the partitioning because its not the same as I remember it in previous Ubuntu versions [12:08] Let alone the complications of the newer hardware - Which also differs from the old :D [12:09] I was informed to not have the drives installed on Sata port 0 and 1 because of the motherboard firmware (Better for running or something alone those lines ) [12:10] hi. I was here with an issue yesterday that is unresolved. We thought it may be on my vps provider's side but it apparently is not. [12:11] I migrated through mount and rsync the partition from one box to another. There is a configuration problem wherein the new box does not accept any traffic externally [12:11] I do not know where to begin to solve this config prob [12:18] aiena: Does that all make a little more sense? [12:21] aiena: I am currently in a live session and following this site for reference, although a bit more guidance would be appreciated. https://www.linuxtechi.com/dual-boot-ubuntu-20-04-lts-along-with-windows-10/ [12:25] Bluewolf: erase disk and install, the last thing you need is additional complexities [12:27] tatertotz: Just so there's no confusion, this one? - https://pasteboard.co/Jm1n9M6.png [12:28] Bluewolf: erase disk and install Ubuntu [12:29] tatertotz: Yes that would be it. What about the grub loader now? [12:29] Or look at that problem after? [12:29] Bluewolf: grub is N/A until installation is completed [12:32] tatertotz: https://pasteboard.co/Jm1pfLw.png [12:33] Installing now [12:36] how do I get rid if linux-image packages showing un status in dpkg [12:37] e.g. [12:37] Note, selecting 'linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic' for regex '^linux-image-4.15.*' [12:37] Package 'linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic' is not installed, so not removed [12:37] un linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic (no description available) [12:56] tatertotz: Okay the installation is done and successful. Shall I go ahead and restart? [12:57] Okay brb [13:03] tatertotz: Okay I'm no in the new install, still not boot menu upon start up? [13:10] bluereally, did you think windows would show up, without putting the disk back in order? [13:12] oerheks: I put the disks back to how they were. Windows is primary and Ubuntu is secondary [13:12] Hey Guys, I am still using Ubuntu 18.04. What do you guys think that which new version I should switch to? 19.04 or 20.04? [13:12] Bluewolf, oke, else windows would not start [13:12] Is it possible to upgrade directly from 18.04 to 19.04 or 20.04? === SysGhost is now known as SysGh0st [13:13] lalitmee, not now, upgrade path 18.04-20.04 is not released, [13:13] !ltsupgrade [13:13] Regular upgrades from the last but one LTS release to the latest LTS release, 20.04 "Focal Fossa", are enabled days or weeks after 20.04.1 is released. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d [13:14] oerheks: Don't mind me asking though - How do i get the grub menu up. sudo update-grub? [13:14] lalitmee, you can upgrade directly using the LTS only flag in your package manager and the command oerheks posted above [13:14] hold shift or esc during boot [13:15] lalitmee, to 20.04 [13:15] BluesKaj: What are you using? [13:16] oerheks: I'll try that quick [13:16] i would wait, not using -d [13:18] lalitmee, 20.04, but I did a clean install === SysGh0st is now known as SysGhost [13:21] oerheks: shift or esc didn't work either :( [13:22] !grub [13:22] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:22] it should .. tap it repeatedly? [13:23] oerheks: I'll try it 1 more time. But I'm really lost now. [13:23] Bluewolf: some cases you might need to edit grub timeout [13:24] lotuspsychje: Lemme try once more then I'll get back to you [13:29] oerheks: Nope didn't work. Came up with a black screen but no boot menu [13:29] lotuspsychje: Sorry you were saying before? [13:31] Bluewolf: check your etc/default/grub and the values of grub timeout and grub timeout style [13:31] lotuspsychje: Would you mind guiding me through that? [13:31] I'm not sure how to go about it [13:32] Bluewolf: timeout style= menu timeout= 5 save, and sudo update-grub and reboot [13:33] lotuspsychje: Enter that as is in terminal? - timeout style= menu timeout= 5 save [13:34] Bluewolf: no, edit your etc/default/grub file with gedit [13:34] GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu [13:34] GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 [13:37] lotuspsychje: Sorry where do I find it? [13:37] Bluewolf: etc/default/grub [13:43] lotuspsychje: Okay done i think.I'll reboot and return here [13:43] Bluewolf: did you sudo update-grub? [13:44] lotuspsychje: Yes I did. But the grub file I edited didn't save [13:44] Just rechecked [13:44] GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hiddenGRUB_TIMEOUT=0 [13:44] That's what it is npw [13:45] Bluewolf: you need to open the file in admin mode, in nautilus ctrl + l and admin:/// [13:45] you need sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub [13:46] EriC^: Thank you [13:47] But it still didn't save [13:47] what happens when you attempt to save [13:49] EriC^: It saves. When I run the command again, the changes are saved [13:49] I've updated grub [13:49] So now to restart? [13:54] Okay. The boot menu appears, but the windows partition doesn't. [13:54] But the windows disk is there [13:55] what package/script modifies /etc/os-release for point releases? [13:56] g3poandlsl: dpkg -S /etc/os-release [13:58] EriC^, thanks [13:58] g3poandlsl: no problem [13:59] lotuspsychje: The grub menu appears, absent the Windows 10 option [13:59] Bluewolf: can you paste "(ls /sys/firware/efi; sudo parted -ls) | nc termbin.com 9999" [13:59] Bluewolf: can you paste "(ls /sys/firmware/efi; sudo parted -ls) | nc termbin.com 9999" [13:59] okay [14:00] EriC^: https://termbin.com/qozb [14:01] Bluewolf: ubuntu is installed in uefi mode, windows is in legacy mode, so it wont pick it up [14:01] you can reinstall or convert one of them so the booting modes match [14:02] EriC^: Re-installing Ubuntu works better. But I'm not sure how to specify legacy installation [14:03] Bluewolf: you have to boot the usb in legacy mode, usually in the boot menu there will be 2 usb enties, USB UEFI and just USB: name here, use the latter for legacy mode [14:04]
