[00:00] <kk4ewt> why not step up a default email address and let it email
[00:01] <kk4ewt> 3 button pushed
[00:08] <bumblefuzzz> my computer keeps disconnecting from the network...
[00:09] <bumblefuzzz> the network is fine
[00:09] <bumblefuzzz> but my computer keeps disconnecting randomly
[00:09] <bumblefuzzz> I need help diagnosing this
[00:10] <Texas> bumblefuzzz: When does it happen?
[00:11] <Texas> Is your computer falling asleep?
[00:12] <bumblefuzzz> it's happening right now
[00:13] <bumblefuzzz> every 20-30 seconds... complete interruption
[00:13] <bumblefuzzz> no incoming for outgoing
[00:13] <bumblefuzzz> then it resumes
[00:13] <Texas> bumblefuzzz: Try rebooting
[00:13] <bumblefuzzz> I did that first
[00:13] <Texas> My MacBook Pro does it all the time tbh
[00:13] <bumblefuzzz> this is after a fresh reboot
[00:14] <Texas> It's usually just that the network is busy or something screwy is going on in the router
[00:14] <bumblefuzzz> no, other devices are fine
[00:15] <bumblefuzzz> just this one device
[00:18] <bumblefuzzz> no ideas?
[00:20] <lokus> wireless?
[00:20] <bumblefuzzz> it's a bridge
[00:21] <lokus> what do you mean by 'disconnecting'? you mentioned it was happening 'right now', yet your irc connection persisted
[00:21] <bumblefuzzz> but this is happening on the machine, which is wired to the bridge
[00:21] <bumblefuzzz> and this hasn't happened before
[00:21] <bumblefuzzz> and, like I said, the rest of the network is fine
[00:21] <lokus> define bridge
[00:22] <lokus> is wireless? wired? when it's "disconnected", can you ping internal IPs e.g. the router? can you ping external IPs?
[00:23] <craigbass76> @kk4ewt, Hadn't thought of that (duh). The problem with the share was that there's already another one (so more button pushing) -- I don't think there are any email addresses set up on it though.
[00:25] <craigbass76> bumblefuzzz, Are there any IP conflicts? I chased my own tail the other day because the IPs that our firewall gave out to VPN clients was also part of the DHCP range. If you've got something set static, in the DHCP range, bada-bing.
[00:30] <bumblefuzz> any ideas?
[00:32] <lokus> bumbluefuzz not sure if you followed up before you got cut off. "disconnecting from the network" is not specific. when it's in that period of 'broken-ness'.. - what happened? presumably your machine didn't drop its IP address. is your destination to a local IP address on the network (router, other device..). is it ping-able? is it only internet addresses not reachable?
[00:40] <lokus> bumblefuzzz what's this bridge? is it connected to the more central router that the working devices are connected to?
[00:41] <lokus> if it's running a DHCP server additionally, depending how it's wired.. maybe you could have some issues. same problem craigbass76 mention
[01:19] <DarkTrick> Can someone tell me which package I need for debugsymbols? https://pastebin.com/2Ec39yxX ( I'd like to report XOrg crashings (yes, plural)) with proper information

[01:32] <lotuspsychje> Corey0550: not here please
[01:32] <ecbrown> bumblefuzzz: i don't know if this is an answer to your issue, but i have found screwy network, and even tmux sessions crashing after logout, because of double nat
[01:32] <ecbrown> or, bridge connected to bridge  (probably not double nat, but it seems like the same physical topology)
[01:33] <Corey0550> lotuspsychje IMMMMMMM DOWN MY MAN
[01:33] <Corey0550> I NEED ASSISTANT
[01:33] <lotuspsychje> Corey0550: try asking a question with caps off
[01:36] <gildarts> Is there a way to reset all networking modifications back to "factory" for lack of a better word? I appear to have messed stuff up rather completely on my server. Currently can access it from outside the network, but not inside the network it appears.
[01:37] <Texas> gildarts: Maybe this? https://askubuntu.com/questions/176351/how-do-i-completely-reset-network-settings
[01:38] <ecbrown> gildarts: sounds like iptables might be messed up.  you might want to "flush" them: as root `iptables -F'
[01:39] <ecbrown> (firewall)
[01:41] <gildarts> ecbrown: Yeah, I flushed them and rebooted a few times. Will check.
[01:41] <ecbrown> there are also options to just flush, e.g the OUTPUT `iptables -F OUTPUT'
[01:41] <gildarts> Figured out I can ssh in if I ssh to an external server first. XD
[01:41] <gildarts> So I'm not stuck in the basement.
[01:42] <ecbrown> wonder what a cross-over cable would tell you
[01:43] <ecbrown> i guess a more modern suggestion is: can you ssh in if you hook straight to the ethernet of the computer in question?
[01:43]  * ecbrown doesn't think cross-over cables are necessary anymore
[01:44] <Corey0550> OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[02:44] <jeffrey_f> I have a 1TB HDD hounted over a folder on my SSD.  How do I automatically mount this after login (on boot (fstab) caused the system to not allow me to login)
[02:51] <Bashing-om> jeffrey_f: What is the file system on that target 1TB HDD - and show us the fstab entry you made to mount it.
[02:52] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om, It is EXT4
[02:54] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om, I didn't make the fstab entry, it was doen through the Disks app
[02:57] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om, I didn't make the fstab entry, it was made through the Disks app gui
[02:58] <Bashing-om> jeffrey_f: ack; And the target file system ?
[02:59] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om, the target is a local secondary disk
[02:59] <Bashing-om> jeffrey_f: "local secondary disk" can be any file system - is it one that linux supports ?
[03:01] <jeffrey_f> The fstab entry is:
[03:02] <jeffrey_f> "/dev/disk/by-uuid/0e02048c-98d6-4995-bb2a-cf0d3f4ff3fe /home/jeff/hdd auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0"
[03:07] <Bashing-om> jeffrey_f: 1) what is the file system ? pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' 2) does the mount point exist ? pastebin ' ls -al /home/jeff/ ' ; does the UUID match ? pastebin ' sudo blkid ' .
[03:12] <karlpinc> Does ubuntu have a web interface to see the content of source packages or do you have to download the source yourself and unpack it?
[03:21] <jeffrey_f> I will pastbin that in a moment. The mount point exists and I currently have it mounted, but I have to manually do it.
[03:22] <Aaron> install automount and automounter
[03:22] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om here's fdisk "https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6YX3hwqsdr/"
[03:23] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om here's the ls  "ttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j77PV3gszm/"
[03:32] <jeffrey_f> Bashing-om. Still on??
[04:48] <Alexss> I'm really struggling with software RAID1 on NVMe drives. The installer works perfectly on SATA drives, but if NVMe is used and the wrong drive disappears... well, then I'm unable to boot and I get an "mdadm: error opening /dev/md?*: No such file or directory" error. Does anyone know that the issue is, and why it doesn't work properly with NVMe?
[04:48] <Alexss> The same issue exists when using Virtualbox. :(
[05:08] <Alexss> I've also created a thread on the forums: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/software-raid-wont-boot-if-using-nvme-drives/18585
[05:40] <conjo> hi all if one of you could help me with this id be most grateful ty =)
[05:40] <conjo> https://pastebin.com/pJKPT82P
[05:41] <matsaman> conjo: yes, unplug it and re-plug to see if it auto-mounts, or use 'mount' to mount it explicity
[05:42] <matsaman> mount LABEL=device-name /mnt/point, mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/point, etc
[05:42] <conjo> ty
[05:53] <conjo> if i mount the usb in a diff place like in the /tmp/usbz/ will the usbz be left behind if i remove the usb?
[05:55] <conjo> or should i stick with convention so i dont have to go looking all over to rm -r folders after removing usb drive;having manually mounted it to location x y z(assuming uplugging the usb wont automagically delete the usbz creation)
[05:56] <matsaman> conjo: yeah but an empty directory won't hurt anything
[05:56] <matsaman> you can safely 'rmdir' any directory you think might be empty
[05:56] <conjo> so prolly best to stick with convention
[05:56] <matsaman> if you replug it, it'll probably auto mount
[05:56] <conjo> nice
[05:56] <conjo> ty
[05:57] <conjo> with rmdir if its not empty it will flag a warning with out the recursive option/flag no?
[05:58] <conjo> if the folder im trying to delete isnt empty(clarifying)
[05:58] <matsaman> rmdir will only work on empty directories
[05:58] <matsaman> it's 100% safe
[05:59] <matsaman> test it out: mkdir testdir; touch testdir/testfile; rmdir testdir
[05:59] <conjo> just tested it cheer
[05:59] <conjo> cheers
[05:59] <conjo> nice
[06:00] <conjo> "rmdir: failed to remove 'testing/': Directory not empty"
[06:00] <matsaman> rm testdir/testfile; rmdir testdir
[06:01] <conjo> cool
[06:01] <macopython> If I use size based logrotate configuration, do I still need to use specification like daily, hourly etc ?
[06:02] <conjo> and if you didnt specify whats the default
[06:03] <conjo> after macopython has got an answer, just curious does anyone use ubuntu without a de
[06:05] <conjo> macopython, im just guessing but id assume it would just trim the earliest entry to comply with the size enforcement
[06:06] <macopython> conjo: Okay. But if I specify size then will it rotate as soon as size fits the criteria or it will rotate in the next round (which may be once in a day) ?
[06:08] <conjo> dunno but ill have a google for you and post if i find anything
[06:08] <macopython> conjo: Found the answer. Thanks
[06:10] <conjo> what was it
[06:10] <conjo> link it if easier
[06:17] <conjo> macopython, was it a matter of viewing the setting inside /etc/logrotate.conf and uncommenting or editing the settings there?
[06:20] <conjo> or would the changes have to be made at /etc/logrotate.d/custom.conf (anybody that has been following the above) please
[06:31] <ThinkT510> conjo: you certainly can run ubuntu without a desktop environment. there are likely many ubuntu servers out there.
[06:32] <conjo> ThinkT510, ty
[06:33] <ThinkT510> also if you are thinking more along the lines of personal use then sometimes a window manager and an app launcher are all you need. I use i3wm with i3status and dmenu.
[06:34] <conjo> is that pretty much a cli bash environment and a program that allows a gui for when required?
[06:35] <ThinkT510> it still uses X11 or wayland for graphical display
[06:35] <conjo> i am thinking along those lines im trying to learn how to do most of the things i do daily with the cli instead of the gui
[06:36] <ThinkT510> there are some options out there. I use weechat for irc (cli client)
[06:37] <ThinkT510> I use cmus for my music player (a good cli client)
[06:37] <ThinkT510> you can use screen or tmux for terminal mutiplexing (effectively a tiling window manager for a terminal)
[06:37] <conjo> i dont really understand what is meant by it still using wayland and x11 gonna have a read n ill be back
[06:38] <conjo> thats cool re tmux ty
[06:42] <conjo> after a quick read and reread of ur post's it all makes more sense, lol feel a bit slow on the uptake and ty for all the mentions of applications i can use to that end.
[06:42] <conjo> ThinkT510,
[06:43] <ThinkT510> no worries, it can be surprising what you can do and the options available
[06:43] <ThinkT510> for system monitors there are loads of cli options
[06:43] <ThinkT510> bpytop and glances are impressive
[06:44] <ThinkT510> htop is very popular
[06:45] <conjo> what do you do with ur os run a home server or other
[06:46] <conjo> why htop over top
[06:46] <conjo> any major differences
[06:46] <mgedmin> htop is colorful
[06:46] <ThinkT510> chat on irc and matrix, browse the internet with firefox, watch videos with vlc, some audio editing with audacity, video editing with openshot and many more things
[06:47] <ThinkT510> htop certainly looks better
[06:47] <conjo> winner ThinkT510
[06:47] <conjo> ty mgedmin
[06:48] <conjo> converted me
[06:48] <conjo> before i got initiated
[06:48] <conjo> lols
[06:48] <conjo> jst had a look side by side
[06:48] <ThinkT510> my preferred system monitor is called bottom (it is written in rust)
[06:49] <conjo> will have a look
[06:50] <conjo> o jesus thats sexy
[06:51] <ThinkT510> neofetch is a nice cli utility if you want to see some information about your system
[06:54] <conjo> reboot brb
[07:16] <luna_> Updated to Ubuntu 20.10 Beta 1 now :)
[07:24] <tuxakadjseb> Yeah !
[07:28] <tuxakadjseb> luna_: Have you a torrent download link ?
[07:28] <Whiskey`> Hellos. Having a issue configuring static ip/dhcp/vlan via 50-cloud-init.yaml
[07:29] <Whiskey`> anyone know of a working example? google gave me a few different ones with differnet syntax (false vs 'no', etc). this is 18.04
[07:30] <mgedmin> YAML allows both `false` and `no` for boolean values and treats them the same
[07:30] <Whiskey`> yes, im just noting that i havent seen consistancy in the examples
[08:08] <StyXman> I have a remote server that has focal installed but itś not booting. I can upload a 50MiB iso image via IPMI and boot from there, but where can I find or how can I make such an image?
[08:14] <jpds> StyXman: 'ubuntu netinst image' is the google term
[08:15] <StyXman> jpds: it's bigger than 50MiB
[08:15] <StyXman> hmm, I didn't expressed very well there
[08:15] <StyXman> IPMI allows me to upload a .iso image and boot from it, but it has a 50MiB limit
[08:16] <StyXman> s/has/imposes/
[08:16] <jpds> Hmm, was 42M last I checked, but that's changed
[08:17] <StyXman> meaning if I find an old one maybe is that size?
[08:18] <StyXman> mini.iso	2020-08-05 12:43 	76M
[08:18] <mgedmin> do you have a remote console so you could see why it fails to boot, maybe do something from the grub menu?
[08:19] <StyXman> that was bioninc, xenial is 68MiB
[08:19] <StyXman> mgedmin: I canhave a remote concole (IPMI) but grub does not light up
[08:19] <StyXman> I tried booting in legacy (BIOS) and UEFI modes, from all the disks available (it has 14)
[08:20] <StyXman> in legacy mode I only see 5 disks listed (???) and none boots
[08:20] <StyXman> at least it falls back to PXE, which is how I installed in the first place
[08:21] <mgedmin> in theory all you need is any linux iso that has a sufficiently recent kernel to recognize and mount your hard disks
[08:22] <StyXman> yes
[08:22] <StyXman> but only in 50 MiB
[08:22]  * mgedmin is googling for "small linux rescue iso"
[08:23] <StyXman> yeah
[08:23] <mgedmin> why do websites not put dates in them?  yes damn small linux is an iso that fits in 50 mb, but what year was it last updated??
[08:24] <StyXman> hehehe
[08:24] <mgedmin> (also who needs a _desktop_ in a rescue cd?)
[08:24] <StyXman> maybe the metadata?
[08:24] <mgedmin> http://www.giannone.ch/rescue/current/ looks promising, released 2020/06/30
[08:24] <StyXman> mgedmin: the same people who needs ubuntu, maybe?
[08:25] <mgedmin> sha1sums, why not sha256
[08:25] <StyXman> mgedmin: awesome, thanks
[08:26] <StyXman> stop complaining :-P
[08:26] <mgedmin> no https either
[08:26] <mgedmin> no mention of how big the iso is when uncompressed
[08:27] <StyXman> 100+MiB
[08:27] <StyXman> :(
[08:29] <StyXman> trying debos... https://github.com/go-debos/debos
[08:47] <conjo> mgedmin, "why not sha256", what u mean is sha1 crappy old legacy other?
[08:48] <conjo> or not worth the hash as it could be cracked in a second
[08:48] <mgedmin> sha1 is widely considered insecure: https://shattered.io/
[08:48] <conjo> ty
[08:48] <mgedmin> not a second, but it can be broken in practice
[08:49] <conjo> to when your getting your iso's offline what is a prefered hash algo to choose from if available
[08:49] <conjo> online lols
[08:49] <mgedmin> almost everyone uses SHA-256 nowadays
[08:49] <conjo> *to=so
[08:49] <conjo> anything better
[08:49] <conjo> commonly used
[08:49] <mgedmin> (technically it's SHA2-256, I suppose)
[08:50] <conjo> ty
[08:52] <conjo> is gpg signature more common with new images iso's etc, than hashes
[08:52] <conjo> its more secure or is that reletive
[08:52] <conjo> gpg i mean
[08:52] <mgedmin> gpg is hard to use correctly
[08:53] <conjo> lols
[08:53] <mgedmin> usually nobody gpg-signs images directly; they gpg-sign SHA256SUM files
[08:53] <conjo> why for the sake of checking an iso wouldn't it be rather simple
[08:54] <conjo> okay and that would be a much quicker process as well i assume?
[08:54] <mgedmin> I don't know why
[08:55] <conjo> hows the install going?
[09:15] <wawrek> hi there
[09:15] <ThinkT510> greetings
[09:16] <wawrek> I use rsync to copy files between 2 machines. I use an ssh key to authenticate. Does rsync encrypt data packets by default?
[09:16] <wawrek> What is my connection is compromised ?
[09:17] <mgedmin> rsync tunnels over ssh by default, so yes, everything is encrypted
[09:18] <wawrek> mgedmin: are you sure ? does it tunnel through ssh by default? or do I have to specify this in the command?
[09:19] <wawrek> mgedmin: thanks for the answer anyway
[09:20] <mgedmin> assuming you're not using the rsync daemon, then yes, it tunnels over ssh by default
[09:20] <wawrek> I use the command line - as it is installed on ubuntu. what is the rsync daemon?
[09:21] <mgedmin> the manual page is right here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/rsync.1.html
[09:22] <wawrek> thanks ;)
[09:23] <wawrek> I guess another way of securing it is to use the vpn while transferring.
[09:40] <amuro> Hi, how to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04?
[09:41] <ThinkT510> sudo do-release-upgrade
[09:41] <Maik> amuro: i should show up through the software updater by now
[09:41] <ThinkT510> backups are prudent
[09:41] <Maik> i/it
[09:42] <Maik> the upgrade option rolled out a few days ago
[09:43] <amuro> ThinkT510: But after I run that command, I got error saying no more upgrade
[09:44] <Maik> amuro: 32 bit?
[09:44] <Maik> if so, 32 bit isn't supported anymore since 19.10
[09:44] <ThinkT510> i think the upgrade is sent out in a staggered manner so some people have it available and others don't just yet
[09:45] <ThinkT510> not sure what determines whether it is available for you
[09:46] <Maik> ThinkT510: if it's a 32 bit install he can't upgrade so we need to find out what he is running, 32 or 64 bit
[09:46] <amuro> ThinkT510: https://pastebin.pl/view/13f07caa
[09:47] <ThinkT510> Maik: you were spot on, he is on 32bit
[09:47] <Maik> amuro: i386 = 3
[09:47] <Maik> 32 bit
[09:48] <Maik> hit enter too soon
[09:48] <Maik> ThinkT510: i remember having that issue on a old netbook of mine ;)
[09:48] <amuro> So, do I have to wait?
[09:49] <ThinkT510> amuro: you'd have to reinstall using a 64bit version
[09:50] <Maik> if the computer is capable of running 64 bit
[09:51] <ThinkT510> amuro: your 32bit 18.04 system will receive updates until 2023 (as your paste shows)
[09:51] <Maik> amuro: you can find out what your cpu is capable of by running lscpu in the terminal
[09:52] <amuro> I run lscpu I think it is 64bit capable
[09:52] <amuro> Its almost a ten years old computer, just for my mom watching TV shows. I am not gonna bother reinstall..
[09:52] <Maik> copy/paste the output on https://paste.ubuntu.com/ so we can make sure

[09:55] <Maik> yup, 64 bit
[09:55] <hejkki> ah there is a command "lscpu". Didn't know of it. i always do cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:55] <Maik> you can use that machine for the years to come if you install the 64bit version of Ubuntu amuro
[09:56] <amuro> I don't remember why I installed the 32bit ubuntu on it 10 9 years ago
[09:57] <Maik> probably because it was the first option to download nex to 64 bit
[09:57] <ThinkT510> amuro: less than 4gb of RAM?
[09:57] <amuro> It's 4GB ram
[09:58] <Maik> either i should press my keys harder or clean the keyboard, too much typos
[09:58] <amuro> 2x2GB ram I think
[09:58] <Maik> good enough for 64bit
[09:58] <Maik> i have a Thinkpad T410 which has 4GB of RAM and it runs fine
[09:59] <amuro> I dont use that computer anymore, just for my mom's media consumption'
[09:59] <amuro> It is placed in the living room
[09:59] <Maik> also 10+ years old by the way.
[09:59] <Maik> amuro: then 4GB is good enough
[09:59] <amuro> I rather use my rpi4 in the living room instead of this huge desktop
[10:01] <amuro> I just visit my mom once a while and do regular check or update on the computer
[10:39] <darrend> what's the right way to request an update to a package from upstream, is it a bug report with a label of "packaging" or is there some other channel?
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> darrend: can you elaborate a bit what the package/bug is about?
[10:40] <ThinkT510> what's the reason for the update?
[10:41] <ThinkT510> !latest
[10:41] <darrend> upstream has fixed an issue that makes the package work again :) The current version in focal and groovy no longer works as it attempts to use an authentication method deprecated and removed by google
[10:41] <darrend> so basically any version prior to the latest upstream is essentially useless
[10:42] <darrend> (the package exists solely to make google contacts available on CLI)
[10:43] <darrend> so definitely falls into the category of "high impact bug fixes"
[10:44] <mgedmin> !sru
[10:44] <mgedmin> ^ this is the right mechanism to request package updates in these situations
[10:46] <darrend> mgedmin: thank you
[10:57] <isene> Could you give me feedback on this: https://github.com/isene/conky (my conky information bar with all underlying scripts)
[11:01] <ThinkT510> isene: so you are using conky as a replacement for i3status?
[11:03] <isene> ThinkT510: Yes
[11:04] <isene> It has more features
[11:07] <ThinkT510> isene: i'm no expert but what sort of feedback are you looking for? suggestions on what to add or change?
[11:10] <ThinkT510> isene: in your annotations picture you might want to mention the units you are using (i'm assuming C for temp rather than F)
[11:20] <Maik> isene: is it a ubuntu related support question or just for conky? If it's for conky it might be better to join either #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:33] <Remy> for conky go to #conky
[11:34] <Remy> as you did..
[11:36] <isene> Remy: Yes, I did for the conky-specific feedback. Was looking for a broader view here as to what kind of info the average Ubuntu user may want to include.
[11:36] <isene> ThinkT510: Good feedback on the units. Will fix
[11:41] <isene> ThinkT510: Fixed
[12:04] <arunpyasi> Hi everyone, has anyone worked to change the cursor-theme in gui apps running with display-setup-script or greeter-setup-script
[12:47] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:49] <arunpyasi> BluesKaj, hi
[12:50] <BluesKaj> hi arunpyasi
[13:53] <jpmiller25> Hello, any way I can get help diagnosing my first ubuntu install not booting?
[13:53] <jpmiller25> I'm on a surface pro, installed ubuntu 20 on a USB3.0 SSD, but I cant get it to boot to the usb.
[13:54] <jpmiller25> usb is the first option in the bios settings, and it does boot to the live ubuntu OK when I have that usb key plugged in
[13:56] <jpmiller25> I do have a boot-repair dump at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pfKZHMYFbx/
[14:08] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: looking
[14:09] <jpmiller25> Thanks. The install I'm trying to get working is on SDB partition #2
[14:11] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: seems that it's installed in efi mode, i suspect in the bios you're choosing 'usb' and it's trying to boot it in legacy mode
[14:12] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: do you have a "uefi usb" option? perhaps if you can get to a one time (run time) boot menu it would list the usb and uefi usb options
[14:12] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: are you still in the live session though? cause there's something you should do for usb installs
[14:13] <jpmiller25> I am in the live session right now
[14:13] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type "ls -lR /media/ubuntu/FB76-CFD6 | nc termbin.com 9999"
[14:14] <EriC^^> it should give a link back to a paste, copy it here
[14:15] <jpmiller25> https://termbin.com/4cas
[14:16] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: hmm, that's not good, seems the efi partition is empty
[14:16] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type "sudo umount /dev/sdb*"
[14:17] <jpmiller25> umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb3: not mounted.
[14:17] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt"
[14:18] <jpmiller25> it didnt give a response
[14:18] <jpmiller25> but after that I did the umount
[14:18] <jpmiller25> umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb3: not mounted.
[14:19] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: does 'lsblk' show nothing under Mountpoint for sdb partitions?
[14:19] <jpmiller25> yeah nothing under mountpoints...
[14:19] <EriC^^> ok, type 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2'
[14:19] <jpmiller25> weird I did set up the mountpoints in the partition setup before the install
[14:19] <EriC^^> please only run commands i give you and dont jump ahead
[14:20] <jpmiller25> ok understood
[14:20] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type the following line word for word
[14:20] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done
[14:21] <amarok> hi
[14:21] <jpmiller25> ok.  after doing sudo mount it says: /dev/sdb2: can't find in /etc/fstab
[14:21] <jpmiller25> I'm running the next command now
[14:21] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: my bad, sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
[14:21] <EriC^^> wait dont runt he for command yet
[14:21] <jpmiller25> ok I havent
[14:22] <jpmiller25> should I do the sudo mount first?
[14:22] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:22] <jpmiller25> ok
[14:23] <jpmiller25> ok that's done with no respons
[14:24] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: also the for command?
[14:24] <jpmiller25> sorry I was waiting- doing the command now
[14:25] <jpmiller25> ok thats done with no response
[14:25] <EriC^^> alright, all good
[14:25] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type 'sudo chroot /mnt'
[14:25] <jpmiller25> im in
[14:25] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: 'mount -a'
[14:25] <jpmiller25> no response
[14:26] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: grub-install --removable
[14:27] <jpmiller25> installing
[14:27] <jpmiller25> Installation finished. No error reported.
[14:28] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: also run 'grub-install' so it'll add it to the uefi list in your pc
[14:29] <jpmiller25> ok I'm still running this as root@ubuntu?
[14:29] <EriC^^> yes
[14:29] <jpmiller25> Installation finished. No error reported.
[14:29] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: update-grub
[14:30] <jpmiller25> done
[14:30] <EriC^^> just as a sanity check, "ls -lR /boot | nc termbin.com 9999"
[14:31] <jpmiller25> should I exit root before that?
[14:31] <EriC^^> no
[14:32] <jpmiller25> ok I had a lot of error messages cannot open directory
[14:32] <jpmiller25> hold on
[14:32] <jpmiller25> https://termbin.com/y3bvk
[14:33] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: something is pretty weird
[14:34] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type 'rm -r /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu'
[14:34] <jpmiller25> lots of cannot remove errors - Read only file system
[14:35] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: something definitely seems skewed, if i were you i'd just reformat the efi partition
[14:35] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type 'sudo umount /boot/efi'
[14:36] <jpmiller25> done
[14:36] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdb1
[14:37] <jpmiller25> mkfs.fat: /dev/sdb1 contains a mounted filesystem
[14:37] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: ah i see what's going on, the efi partition on the usb isnt actually being used in fstab, it's using the nvme one
[14:37] <EriC^^> that's why earlier it was empty, but when we listed this it had a bunch of microsoft/windows files and stuff
[14:38] <jpmiller25> wow thats over my head sorry
[14:38] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type 'nano /etc/fstab'
[14:38] <EriC^^> you want to exchange the UUID's there to this
[14:39] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: you want it to look like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/swGwsdv6jv/
[14:40] <EriC^^> remove the extra /fatpartition line, and exchange the UUID there with the UUID in the /boot/efi line
[14:40] <jpmiller25> working on it
[14:41] <amarok> I got a question about gnome-software on ubuntu 20.04
[14:42] <amarok> It seems that gnome-software only accepts to install snap/debs from already added ppa/repositories
[14:42] <amarok> I mean, having a .deb/.snap which is not in the snap store or basic repos will not work, even if the .deb will install the wanted ppa
[14:44] <amarok> apt-get install will work tho
[14:46] <jpmiller25> EriC^^: I have done that
[14:47] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: ok, did you save and exit?
[14:47] <jpmiller25> ye
[14:47] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: ok, type 'mount /boot/efi'
[14:47] <jpmiller25> done
[14:48] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: grub-install --removable
[14:49] <jpmiller25> Installation finished. No error reported.
[14:49] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: also 'grub-install'
[14:50] <jpmiller25> done
[14:50] <EriC^^> jpmiller25: type 'exit'
[14:50] <EriC^^> then try rebooting
[14:50] <jpmiller25> k
[14:50] <jpmiller25> removing the live ubuntu drive of course?
[14:50] <EriC^^> yup
[14:51] <jpmiller25> ok great I'll log back in in a bit thanks!
[14:51] <EriC^^> alright, no problem
[15:45] <bumblefuzz> so, I went to bed last night and left my computer on... where it just runs a screensaver then turns the monitor off after some period
[15:45] <bumblefuzz> now, my audio device is disabled
[15:46] <bumblefuzz> how can I turn it back on?
[15:48] <[1997kB]`> Hey, I get errors while install any app from appstore. For eg. I was installing ElectronIM, I get, "Unable to install ElectronIM: snap "electronim" has "install-snap" change in progress".
[16:43] <kevin-oculus> hey i have windows10 machine downloaded ubuntu app for windows appstore now i want to download check rain i get erro "deb https://assets.checkra.in/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:43] <kevin-oculus> -bash: deb https://assets.checkra.in/debian /: No such file or directory
[16:46] <kevin-oculus> anyone in here
[17:10] <kevin-oculus> hi i get this error when  i run sudo checkra1n ERROR: WSL doesn't support USB, so checkra1n cannot be used here.
[17:10] <kevin-oculus> Exiting.
[17:11] <tomreyn> !wsl | kevin-oculus
[17:12] <tomreyn> and for support with checkra1n, talk to them.
[17:12] <kevin-oculus> yes but what do i need to install to run this
[17:12] <kevin-oculus> wsl
[17:13] <tomreyn> the message seems to suggest you are running ubuntu bash on windows, also known as windows subsystem for linux
[17:13] <tomreyn> (wsl)
[17:13] <kevin-oculus> yes
[17:13] <kevin-oculus> do i need to install full ubuntu version for this
[17:14] <tomreyn> we don'T support this software here, but the message you wuoted seems to suggest so
[17:14] <tomreyn> *quoted
[17:15] <kevin-oculus> so thats whats on windows appstore is crap
[17:16] <tomreyn> this channel is about ubuntu though, not windows or its appstore. you can run ubuntu in a VM, or install it on fixed or removable storage and boot off it.
[17:17] <kevin-oculus> https://multipass.run/  is this okish
[17:18] <tomreyn> /join #multipass    if you have questions about it
[17:19] <kevin-oculus> i will get  a real one https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=20.04.1&architecture=amd64
[17:33] <hejkki> kevin-oculus: good choise
[17:57] <__infinity> hi\
[17:57] <__infinity> hi
[17:58] <__infinity> I'm running ubuntu 20.04.1 on dell latitude 5401 and my notebook doesn't recognize external monitor, anyone willing to debug this with me?
[17:59] <__infinity> tried googling, executed this command `sudo update-initramfs -u` and only think that happened is that it switched from dedicated GPU to internal one I think
[18:06] <__infinity> trying to install `sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-435` and switching to this driver in `Software & Updates --> Additional Drivers`
[18:09] <__infinity> hope I won't completely fuckup my system as I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing
[18:30] <DeeJayTwo> Hi
[18:30] <hejkki> hi
[18:30] <DeeJayTwo> My NIC with default route is enp8s0
[18:31] <DeeJayTwo> I created a bridge
[18:31] <DeeJayTwo> and tried to put enp8s0 as a member of it..
[18:31] <DeeJayTwo> it says enp8s0 is already member of a bridge
[18:31] <DeeJayTwo> but it's not...
[18:31] <DeeJayTwo> any idea?Y
[18:32] <DeeJayTwo> "brctl show |grep enp8s0" gives nothing
[18:32] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: what does "bridge link" report?
[18:33] <DeeJayTwo> https://pastebin.com/V3iAAmbB
[18:33] <DeeJayTwo> this
[18:34] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: what command(s) did you use that reported it as a member of a bridge?
[18:34] <DeeJayTwo> brctl addif wanbr0 enp8s0
[18:34] <DeeJayTwo> after this command, I see some entries in the console logs
[18:34] <DeeJayTwo> wanbr0: port 1(enp8s0) entered blocking state
[18:34] <DeeJayTwo> and then disabled state..
[18:35] <jozefk> If I try to do the update, I am getting a message which says Cuda is going to be removed: https://imgur.com/a/3B3VSxS
[18:35] <jozefk> Is that normal?
[18:37] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: is enp8s0 being managed by something like NetworkManager or systemd-networkd? Is this a desktop or server install?
[18:37] <DeeJayTwo> desktop install so yes
[18:37] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: sounds like the currently active network manager is retaking control of the interface since you're trying to steal it away
[18:37] <DeeJayTwo> ok thank you for the explanation :)
[18:37] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: so I'm guessing you've got a connection that uses that interface
[18:39] <TJ-> DeeJayTwo: you may gain some clue from "journalctl -f -u NetworkManager" in a terminal whilst trying to create the bridge in another terminal
[18:43] <TJ-> jozefk: Doesn't look correct, as in, my bet is that the nvidia drivers are requiring the later cuda-drivers-450 which likely declares a Conflicts: or Replaces: fo cuda-drivers and as cuda-drivers is a dependency of those other CUDA packages, they have to be removed.
[18:44] <TJ-> !info cuda-drivers
[18:45] <TJ-> jozefk: looks like neither cuda-drivers nor cuda-drivers-450 is in the Ubuntu archive, so presumably a 3rd party source
[18:45] <jozefk> It's not a problem is cuda will be removed, but I need Cuda all the time. So if the update will remove it I need the new Cuda, for those new drivers. Why don't the update get the new Cuda in the same time while removing the current one?
[18:45] <jozefk> if*
[18:47] <jozefk> Maybe it's a matter of time. Maybe I should wait for a while and see what happens after few days
[18:47] <TJ-> jozefk: where are you getting these CUDA packages from?
[18:49] <jozefk> from: deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/
[18:49] <TJ-> jozefk: ahhh, so you'd need to ask NVidia about that
[18:51] <jozefk> on freenode?
[18:52] <TJ-> jozefk: whatever support options NVidia has - I suspect their community web forums
[18:55] <bigpic> hey guys how do i go about preventing a service from starting at boot?  i don’t want to outright disable the service
[18:56] <TJ-> bigpic: is it managed by systemd?
[18:56] <bigpic> i’m having issues with mysql at startup when the encrypted volume it sits on isn’t yet mounted
[18:56] <bigpic> yes
[18:56] <TJ-> bigpic: you can add a condition to the service (unit) file that prevents it starting if that mount isn't available
[18:57] <bigpic> any chance you can point me to some docs?
[18:57] <bigpic> everything i google is providing examples on totally disabling the service
[18:59] <TJ-> "man systemd.unit" then search for "ConditionPathExists= and friends (search using reg-exps, e.g. press /ConditionPathExits and the enter, then 'n' for moving to Next match and so on
[19:00] <TJ-> bigpic: to edit the unit you'd do "sudo systemctl edit mysql.service" (if that is the name) then add 2 lines "[Service]" and "ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/mysql/dump" or whatever a path *inside* the mounted file-system is called
[19:01] <bigpic> woot i’ll give that a try
[19:01] <bigpic> thx
[19:02] <TJ-> bigpic: correction! not "[service]", it would be "Unit"
[19:02] <TJ-> oops, or even "[Unit]" !!
[19:10] <bigpic> TJ-: Condition: start condition failed at Fri 2020-10-02 15:09:29 EDT; 33s ago
[19:11] <bigpic> thanks for the help
[19:12] <TJ-> bigpic: nice .... helps if I don't type in complete darkness when giving instructions :)
[19:12] <bigpic> :)
[19:47] <hotsoup> hello all. I hopefully have an easy problem to solve. I installed ubuntu 20.04 on an old macbook pro and my goal is to use as dlna mediaserver on my LAN. I have correctly configured samba to share my media directories. I wish to be able to access the shares directly via smb and add or remove files as needed.  My folder is in the root in a folder called /medialib. /etc/fstab mounts the drive correctly without any user having to log in.
[19:49] <hotsoup> My porblem is that when I map the share to my client laptop, it allows me to view but not move files to the shares. I think it is a folder permission issue and have tried to add a group called medialib with r/w access to the folder but it says "chgrp: changing group of '/medialib': Operation not permitted"
[19:52] <hotsoup> I have tried to do this as root. It seems like I should be able to do anything I want to the directory as root, including adding a group with r+w access...
[19:52] <hotsoup> just need a bit of guidance
[19:53] <hotsoup> I'm appreciative for any help or guidance you can provide
[19:53] <TJ-> hotsoup: not if the share is on the remote system - then your permissions are controlled by a combination of the remote file-system AND the local mount options
[19:56] <hotsoup> ok. I can paste my fstab and run any commands to clarify directory permissions...
[19:56] <hotsoup> thank you for response
[19:56] <pavlos> hotsoup: change perms of /medialab to 777 and in samba section of medialib have writable = yes
[19:57] <hotsoup> ok. wait a few. brb. Going to make changes and test with a file copy.
[20:01] <hotsoup> same error.  here is what the share looks like in smb.conf:
[20:02] <hotsoup> [movies]
[20:02] <hotsoup>         comment = Movies Share
[20:02] <hotsoup>         path = /medialib/movies/
[20:02] <hotsoup>         read only = no
[20:02] <hotsoup>         writable = yes
[20:02] <hotsoup>         browsable = yes
[20:03] <hotsoup> I didn't mean to flood the channel...
[20:04] <pavlos> hotsoup: can you change the share to [medialib] path = /medialib ... remember to restart samba after changes.
[20:05] <pavlos> hotsoup: if the share can be seen, you should see a dir, movies
[20:05] <pavlos> hotsoup: movies is also 777
[20:05] <hotsoup> here is the pastebin:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rQNfTTvVfs/
[20:06] <hotsoup> sorry. My IRC skills are a bit rusty
[20:08] <pavlos> hotsoup: mine is just https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XYGjqVP3gv/ and /repo and any dirs under are 777
[20:09] <hotsoup> hangon. I didn't -R my chmod.  testing that now...
[20:11] <hotsoup> so I can't see the share but I know it exists.  I use nautilus. and connect via smb://myip  and then the shares appear.
[20:12] <hotsoup> I mount one and attempt a file copy which still didn't work after sudo chmod -R 777 /medialib
[20:12] <pavlos> hotsoup: smb://myip/medialib
[20:14] <hotsoup> It opened up the share diretly. I can view but no file copy.  I'm going to modify my smb.conf entries to look like yours. brb
[20:17] <pavlos> hotsoup: what is your fstab line? mine, /dev/sdb1	/repo	ntfs	defaults	0	0
[20:17] <hotsoup> same as before. error copying ..... permission denied
[20:18] <hotsoup> UUID=5E9E-8BA0 /medialib    auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
[20:19] <hotsoup> oh. Ill pastebin the fstab
[20:20] <hotsoup> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MR6YyFm4ym/
[20:20] <hotsoup> better?
[20:21] <pavlos> hotsoup: what is the filesystem in that disk, ext4, ntfs?
[20:22] <hotsoup> exfat
[20:23] <pavlos> hotsoup: do you have exfat-fuse and exfat-utils installed?
[20:24] <pavlos> hotsoup: dpkg -l | grep exfat
[20:26] <hotsoup> no. this is a brand new install. I will install those but my goal is to get this working without a user logging in.  presently, I can get it to work as described only if I log in as one of the approved users. Right now, the machine is sitting at the choose user login prompt.
[20:27] <pavlos> hotsoup: as long as samba is running (smbd), you dont need to log on
[20:27] <hotsoup> I installed the packages you mentioned.
[20:28] <pavlos> hotsoup: does file manager see the share?
[20:29] <hotsoup> Only if I directly point to it like we did before in nautilus connect to server box at bottom of "other locations"  smb://10.0.1.4
[20:29] <hotsoup> then the shares show up immediately but not the name of the server
[20:31] <pavlos> hotsoup: since file manager sees the share, can you right click add to bookmarks
[20:32] <hotsoup> yes.
[20:34] <pavlos> hotsoup: that share should be available from another client as smb://10.0.1.4/medialib (assuming in the same subnet
[20:35] <hotsoup> I can test from another machine. is that what you are asking? hang on
[20:35] <pavlos> hotsoup: you want to make sure the share is available eventhough you did not login in the .4 system
[20:39] <pavlos> hotsoup: you can reboot the .4, then ssh to it and verify smbd is running. All clients in your subnet should see the smb://10.0.1.4/medialib share
[20:42] <hotsoup> ok. will reboot
[20:42] <hotsoup> by the way, the access from another client was same as the one I'm on.  read only access
[20:43] <pavlos> hotsoup: I'll test all the steps in a 20.04 VM and get back to you
[20:46] <hotsoup> hang on.  don't do it. I rebooted and that worked. Problem is I don't get why.  I did sudo service smbd restart after every change.
[20:47] <hotsoup> to be clear, I copied a file into the directory and it worked. Nobody is logged into the mediaserver. I'm ssh'd in but not pysically logged in
[20:47] <pavlos> hotsoup: that's good
[20:48] <pavlos> hotsoup: so the .4 can be in a corner running, nobody logged in, and provide shares
[20:49] <hotsoup> exactly. but I don't know why it worked when she was giving me hell earlier today. Thanks much. I'm going to do a deep dive and study my config so I can do it again if I need to
[20:50] <pavlos> hotsoup: study the configs -- you're all set.
[20:52] <hotsoup> Yeah. Last question I have is why can't I see them from "other locations: without directly calling the IP?
[20:53] <hotsoup> I appreciate all your help!!! Many Thanks!
[20:53] <hotsoup> Do I need to do some more voodoo on my smb.conf?
[20:53] <pavlos> hotsoup: that may be an issue with file manager
[20:53] <hotsoup> oh ok. I will reboot my laptop and see what happens
[20:59] <hotsoup> pavlos you were right. I rebooted and my server came up immediately in "other locations" thanks much again. I hope when I learn enough about linux I can help somebody like I got it today.  Have a good one.
[21:00] <pavlos> hotsoup: yw
[21:04] <jhutchins> hotsoup: Do you have dns set up?
[21:05] <jhutchins> hotsoup: Or if it's a small network it's not too hard to manage hostnames in /etc/hosts
[22:51] <ppq> Hi! Are there official VirtualBox appliances (OVA/OVF) of Ubuntu for desktop PCs? I only know of the cloud version at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/
[22:52] <ppq> MS offers .ovas with Win 10, which is pretty neat https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/
[22:54] <oerheks> there is an OVA on this server https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/
[22:54] <oerheks> easy to find, no?
[22:55] <ppq> yes, it is the link I mentioned.
[22:55] <ppq> this is ubuntu server, probably with all those cloud things preinstalled.
[22:56] <ppq> I am looking for an OVA for desktop use
[22:56] <TJ-> ppq: you want a 'desktop' pre-installed image?
[22:56] <ppq> TJ-, yes
[22:57] <TJ-> ppq: I've never seen any; most of Canonical's output is aimed at enterprise/cloud server customers
[22:58] <ppq> TJ-, there are many third-party websites offering VM appliances of all kinds of OS's, including Ubuntu, but I really don't want to use those
[22:58] <tomreyn> https://www.osboxes.org/ubuntu/ - not official though
[22:58] <ppq> like that one, exactly
[22:58] <oerheks> i think you want a .vdi ?
[22:59] <ppq> I'd rather take a complete VM "image", not just the HD image
[22:59] <ppq> Virtualbox can import and export whole VMs
[23:05] <ppq> It would be a really useful tool to have safe and trustworthy, up-to-date and ready-made VMs with Ubuntu Desktop, e.g. for quick testing of software in a fresh environment, or for cross platform dev stuff. Or even for windows users who want to try Ubuntu.
[23:05] <tatertots> just make your own VM
[23:06] <tatertots> and if you can't....maybe a more lucky tech savvy friend can make a VM for you to use
[23:06] <ppq> reinstalling or upgrading it every time a new Ubuntu release comes out is a hassle
[23:06] <ppq> with the guest additions also
[23:08] <ppq> importing a (lightweight) VM just takes a few seconds
[23:15] <hackinghorn> hi, I installed ubuntu dual boot with windows but got some problems. It is stuck with weird color lines on screen after booting into ubuntu. I suspect its due to the nvidia graphics card. What can I do?
[23:19] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: you could replace it by a graphics card where proper open source drivers are available.
[23:19] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: but i guess that's not what you meant ;)
[23:19] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: have you tried booting it with nomodeset?
[23:19] <tomreyn> !nomodeset
[23:19] <tomreyn> or to recovery?
[23:19] <tomreyn> !recovery
[23:20] <hackinghorn> ohh not yet
[23:20] <hackinghorn> let me try that
[23:21] <tomreyn> also, which ubuntu version are we talking about here? did you already install proprietary nvidia drivers, and if so, how?
[23:22] <hackinghorn> eh probably not
[23:23] <hackinghorn> tomreyn, I just installed ubuntu focal, how do I install proprietary nvidia drivers?
[23:23] <hackinghorn> maybe i need to check nvidia's site
[23:24] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: i think 20.04 LTS would install them by default
[23:25] <hackinghorn> heh, wut, maybe
[23:26] <hackinghorn> I had the graphics running well when installing but not after installing
[23:26] <tomreyn> looking for them on nvidias' website would be the worst thing you could do really.
[23:26] <tomreyn> there's the ubuntu-drivers command you can run from a terminal to manage them
[23:27] <tomreyn> which graphics card is it exactly, do you know?
[23:27] <hackinghorn> its a GTX 1650S
[23:28] <hackinghorn> wo wow
[23:28] <hackinghorn> maybe I need to reinstall
[23:28] <Gameboy> hi
[23:29] <hackinghorn> I got an idea
[23:29] <hackinghorn> see ya in a while
[23:29] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: you shouldn't need to reinstall, no. just boot with nomodeset or to recovery, drop to shell, and see what you can do with ubuntu-drivers
[23:30] <hackinghorn> ohh I see
[23:30] <hackinghorn> let me try that, thankss
[23:32] <tomreyn> hackinghorn: there's this bug report which can be related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-440/+bug/1871041
[23:33] <hackinghorn> ahh nice
[23:54] <zerocode> how can i install grub-efi only
[23:54] <zerocode> to /dev/sda
[23:54] <zerocode> to mount the win partition in /boot/efi
[23:54] <zerocode> but there is not grub-efi cmd [pkg] in system
[23:55] <zerocode> and /boot/efi is empty
[23:56] <tomreyn> if ubuntu was booted in uefi mode, grub-install will place grub and axiliary files on the efi system partiton
[23:57] <tomreyn> which is usually mounted at /boot/efi/
[23:58] <zerocode> no at now there is no grub/grub-efi in system, nothing
[23:58] <zerocode> not sure what to do
[23:58] <zerocode> and also os-prober
[23:58] <zerocode> i don't want to reboot:)
[23:58] <zerocode> not sure what to install
[23:59] <tomreyn> maybe you should provide some context
[23:59] <joaquinighost01> well
[23:59] <joaquinighost01> u did something wrong
[23:59] <joaquinighost01> !ask | zerocode
