| jjosh | is there a different way to scale my resolution for high DPI displays? The method I found only accepts integers (which is too much for my uses) | 15:38 |
|---|---|---|
| brainwash | jjosh: but anything in-between will give you a blurry result | 15:44 |

| TheMadDrizzle | HOping someone can help me build a bootable USB stick. I need to install a file into the /BOOT/EFI/ directory to get my laptop to register for EFI booting (using a 32bit UEFI file to boot a 64bit OS) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to push this file into the directory - Can't even ' sudo cp **file** /media/**USER**/**OS**/BOOT/EFI/**file** ' It marks this directory as read only. | 17:08 |
| diogenes_ | TheMadDrizzle, i can give you a script to make a live usb where you can put anything you like, but first tell me what distro you runing. | 17:14 |
| TheMadDrizzle | diogenes_, I'm running this all from UbuntuStudio 20.04 and have the usb drive already burnt for Xubuntu 20.04 to install onto my old laptop. | 17:16 |
| TheMadDrizzle | diogenes_, I just need to install boot32ia.efi into the /BOOT/EFI/ directory of the USB stick but I can't figure out how to change the owner of this drive - it just tells me that the usb drive is a ' read only file system ' | 17:17 |
| diogenes_ | TheMadDrizzle, you can't modify a usb drive like that because it's read-only that's why you need a live usb multiboot. | 17:18 |
| TheMadDrizzle | diogenes_, So do I just need to reburn this usb stick? | 17:20 |
| diogenes_ | no, you need to erase it, create partitions, install grub on it and copy the iso then create a menu entry for it. | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | diogenes_: i just used usb-creator-gtk to write an ubuntu (not xubuntu) 20.04.1 amd64 iso to a usb stick, then unomunted all of the mounted file systems off it, then used sudo mount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*-part2 /mnt to mount the ESP writable (to root only), and wrote a file there (as root). | 18:08 |
| tomreyn | so at least placing another efi boot loader on the ESP should be possible. | 18:08 |
| tomreyn | i'm not sure whether this would apply to xubuntu, though | 18:09 |
| diogenes_ | tomreyn, no clue i've never tried that method. | 18:10 |
| tomreyn | it wouldn'T work for any of the data ont he first partition, though, which contains anything that's not on the efi system partition | 18:11 |
| diogenes_ | also what size is there by defaulf for the efi partition? like 10Mb? | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | fdisk reports 3.9MB, indeed this could be a problem | 18:17 |
| tomreyn | diogenes_: good point, there are only 10 KB available, so this approach wouldn't work without repartitioning. | 18:18 |
| diogenes_ | yeah no go. | 18:19 |
