[00:01] Hmm, any reason when using Etcher to burn to USB thumbdrive, FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20201224-3cc0c0d66a0-255241-memstick.img and FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img are read and boot from USB thumbdrive on my machine, but debian-10.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso and ubuntu18.04mini.iso aren't read when trying to boot from flashdrive?

[02:39] they should give answer, we don't get paid for their prop blob [02:42] Oh good idea.. I'm hoping it's not because the monitor is disconnected. I'll check the settings. [03:13] Hi. I've just updated to ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04. My resolution is stuck at some resolution set that looks like it's from the 1980's [03:14] I have an nvidia card. [03:14] How can I fix the resolution? [03:14] bobdobbs: check if your graphics driver is installed properly [03:14] Hi lotuspsychje. How do I do that? [03:14] bobdobbs: sudo lshw -C video [03:15] How do I disover what my driver is [03:15] bobdobbs: and to see wich version, if the driver is loaded; nvidia-smi [03:17] ok... the output of that latter command tells me that it failed because it can't connect with the driver, "make sure the latest nvidia driver is installed" [03:17] I guess that tells me something [03:17] bobdobbs: ok, check ubuntu-drivers list then and pick a version for install [03:18] thanks [03:18] yaaaay thanks Ubuntu for making headless remoting impossible without a HDMI Dummy Plug -.- [03:29] illmortal: i'd say you're mistaken then [03:29] although not sure what "remoting" is exactly [03:30] Pretty much to use a VNC client to remote into a ubuntu box that doesn't have a monitor. Apparently this requires a monitor or a dummy plug in order to view the desktop. Otherwise it's a black screen. [03:31] you can always have a dummy screen [03:37] lotuspsychje Thank you so much!

[08:36] I've found a git repo for it. But the instructions for how to install it don't work: it gives generic instructions on how to use 'configure', but there's no configure script in the repo. [08:37] I used this guide https://www.snel.com/support/install-vnc-ubuntu-16-04/ to install vnc on my ubuntu server 16.04. when I create a session with root user and connect to server thro vncviewer it can see my normal gnome desktop but when I create a vnc session as a regular user I see only a gray screen after connecting with a vnc viewer. any advice? === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [08:58] hi guys [08:59] is there any env var for TEMP ?

[12:53] I really want to use Linux now instead of windows, but if i cant even load DavinciResolve with my Navi10 GPU then im dead in the water... [12:53] anyone know wjhat steps i can take to get this working? [12:55] sputnik369: you can check out this site. https://linuxconfig.org/amd-radeon-ubuntu-20-04-driver-installation [12:55] sputnik369: did you try these: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-20-45 [12:55] thanks taking a look now [12:57] I have a rx560 with official amd drivers, and rocm also works (maybe not any more in future but atm) [12:57] @Ky0sh1r0 i downloaded the Linux drivers from AMD and tried to do the install which failes right at the end and then on numerous support forums i see others have the same issue and the only resolution i found was with one support listing where a guy had to downgrade his uname -r from x.x.x.56 to x.x.x.54 or something, but i am using x.x.x.58-generic and so i found this solution to far distanced from my case. [12:58] Looks like NFS is locking up my filesystem. [13:00] @Ky0sh1r0 perhaps my understanding of the process is insufficient, since i was raised in a microsoft space. but this Rocm is a concept i dont think i understand, as well as the concept of some firmware installation that may/maynot be required for getting this all to work... [13:00] my understanding is i download the driver from AMD, extract it to a normal folder, open terminal from it and sudo amdgup-pro-install and from there i just assume it would be enough? but it fails [13:01] *amdgpu-pro-install* [13:01] i also tried a varient of the install command that uses some headless switch [13:02] also fails at the end [13:04] im using a RX5700 card, so to be fair it isnt even that new anymore the RX6800s are out now so i cant imagine the drivers should be a problem still for my older gen 5700 that im struggling with [13:06] sputnik369: I followed exaclty these steps: https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-installing.html#installing-the-pro-variant [13:06] short version: ./amdgpu-pro-install -y [13:07] yeah i started with that [13:07] :) [13:07] im just trying @cjoke's manual quick again now [13:07] rocm is just for machine learning purposes, so if you don't do that, you won't need it ;) [13:08] ok cool yeah i just need video card GPU to be detected on DavinciResolve [13:08] the default Ubuntu20.04 Radeon drivers dont work for the Application [13:20] why ubuntu preserves the /etc/init.d folder? [13:20] it uses systemd, right? so ... why this sysvinit folder? [13:22] wyre, https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/systemd-sysv-generator.8.html [13:23] so even old software that has never been ported to systemd can be supported ... === goddard_ is now known as goddard [13:30] Hi, why if I run on terminal: `xfce4-terminal --maximize --hold -e "sudo renice -n -20 -p $(pidof twinkle)"` works, but if I run same command inside a [Desktop Entry] not works! [13:30] xfce4-terminal --maximize --hold -e "sudo renice -n -20 -p $(pidof twinkle)" [13:32] ogra, so cron is old software? there is some newer projects like cronie [13:36] wyre, systemd timers are supposed to eventuall replace cron i think [13:36] +y [13:43] wyre: hello [13:43] iola, hi [13:43] What version of ubuntu are you using or wondering about? [13:43] iola, 20.04 [13:44] Certain versions have cron utilities preinstalled, namely version BEFORE systemd-timers was implemented. [13:45] Ubuntu's `cron` package is the debian package `cron` which is forked/patched version of Vixie Cron 3.0 [13:45] well, it will surely still be a while til cron is completely gone from a default install [13:46] and once that happens i'd expect some transition to happen too (i.e. automatically turning cronjobs into systemd timers at release upgrade time) === spiri_ is now known as spiri [13:49] ogra, iola, I see, so .. cron is still installed in a default install, right? [13:49] That being said, the default installation installs cron 3.0p11-1236ubunt1 and anacron 2.3-29 for ubuntu 20.04 [13:49] Yes. [13:49] yeah [13:50] and it's a forked version of Vixie Cron 3.0 [13:50] Now, wyre... why were you asking about this is arch? [13:50] ? [13:50] Yes [13:50] and the earliest it would drop wuld be with 22.04 [13:50] iola, I was comparing both cron implementations, cronie with cron implementation used in Ubuntu [13:50] *Dropped from the default install, that is. [13:50] right [13:51] Unless you are looking for _very_ specific tooling differences, they are essentially managed in the same manner. [13:53] iola, I know, but the point is that cronie does work with systemd, while cron implementation in Ubuntu uses https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/systemd-sysv-generator.8.html to generate its corresponding systemd units [13:54] well, thats only for starting the cron daemon [13:54] it wont translate cronjobs [13:55] cron itself will still work exactly the way it always did ... it will just be started by a generated systemd unit instesd of a sysv script [13:56] *instead [14:03] ^++ [15:11] my scanner (samsung c480w) does not work with simple scan. it is found as WSD device and it starts scanning but i get an error when it should save the scanned document [15:12] it says (in german, translated to english by myself): scanning failed. error with the communication with the scanner [15:13] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DK8qwdMFxD/ [15:25] Is it already possible to upgrade to ubuntu 21? [15:25] my default application for http/https links is chromium, but firefox opens when i click in thunderbird on any link [15:27] I want to upgrade, because in 21, ubuntu will make the home folders private, inaccessible to unwanted users. [15:27] anyway, is this rigth? [15:29] depending on what you understand under "private", you can already do that [15:31] why not issue a chmod command now to do that [15:31] a user folder under /home should be accessible only to that users, anyone else. If I create a second user, I can access the home folders of other users on the same machine. [15:31] I would expect it to be protected by access rights deffault [15:33] I would expect the home folder to be protected by deffault [15:34] I mean only the owner, should be able to access it [15:34] if I execute a command with sudo, my computer waits 20 seconds before I am prompted to write a password. What's wrong with my computer? [15:36] When I look at echo $DISPLAY, I get :1, when I suspected I'd get :0. Is there a way to inspect all available x servers running? I only seem to have the one process, is there something else at :0? [15:37] wawrek: IIRC Ubuntu changed it in a way that other users can access (Read only) other user's home directory. This includes subfolders and files as well (Ofcourse as Read only) [15:38] well by default that is [15:39] jayjo-: :1 isn't wrong.. [15:40] Your_Dog: I don't want other users to access my files by default. In this case, is it safe to play with chmod on the level of home folders? [15:42] hmmh, this is indeed a tricky question, tricky because I'm assuming most distro-level applications will expect this behavior or has been modified in a way to take advantage of this behavior. [15:42] Then again I don't think there are apps that really do that now. [15:43] I guess, I have to be careful while changing access permissions on a home folder... [15:43] I have heard that ubuntu 21 will change the implementation of home folders. Is that so? [15:44] I don't think so but perhaps I am wrong [15:46] I found this here: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/01/private-home-directory-in-ubuntu-21-04 [15:46] Maybe I am wrong [15:49] well that would be certainly an interesting one, IIRC there where alot of people that hated that they changed how default permission works for home folder. I mean I think only Ubuntu (and majority of its derivatives) have this as their default permission. [15:55] other Linux distros don't share the same permissions system for user's home folders? [15:56] I thought it was implemented that way accross all of the linux ecosystem [15:58] wawrek: usually home dirs are 755 but seems that with 21.04 they will be 750 [15:59] if I execute a command with sudo, my computer waits 20 seconds before I am prompted to write a password. is this normal? [15:59] 20.10 [15:59] Yes [16:00] wawrek: You have nothing to worry about. [16:00] wawrek: linux doesn't care about the permissions you set for your homedir [16:00] wawrek: The rest of us linux users defaul to 700. 750 from 755 will cause you zero problems. [16:00] thanks for the info [16:00] chmod -R o= ~ [16:00] This is because sudo is bloat. Get doas here: https://github.com/slicer69/doas [16:00] can I use 700? [16:01] Doas is just a faster sudo alternative [16:01] wawrek: why? [16:01] the primary group should be your own group [16:01] Yep, so 7770 [16:01] I just thought I want it to be more restricive [16:01] it's not more restrictive [16:01] Oh wait 770 [16:01] No not 770 [16:01] Stop with the rediculousness. [16:01] With this Linux... Are there a VPN that is free that has a GUI? [16:02] iola: how do you mean? [16:02] 750 will allows users assigned to YOUR group to be able to read and execute files in your home directory. But only users assigned to YOUR group. [16:03] 700, and only YOU and root can see, enumerate, read, write, and execute files in your home direcory. [16:03] @iola Ubuntu comes with gnome-control-center preinstalled, this is called "settings" [16:03] MLKVA51-: VPN is a protocol (or a collection of protocols really), you'll need a server and a client to use it. what you arer referring to is a hosted vpn, usually sold as a (software as a service). ubuntu only provides software, not services. [16:03] (the only user in your group is you) [16:03] Changing from 755 -> 750 or even more restrictive 700 is perfectly fine. [16:03] thanks [16:03] @iola you can add ovpn files there [16:03] < looking for a BSD chan, that people are really talking in, other than waiting in line [16:03] that's what I wanted to know [16:03] It wont even effect gnome [16:04] sounds good ;) [16:04] And you should never put ovpn files anywhere other than /etc/openvpn/client [16:04] if you run the command I showed you, you'll make it restrictive [16:04] without all the octal nonsense [16:04] !alis | MLKVA51- [16:04] MLKVA51-: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [16:04] agvantibo66: You are incredibly misinformed to standard practices for securing and safely operating a single user system.

[16:06] frad: check your logs, i.e. run journalctl -f in a temrinal window, then run a sudo command in another, and post the output added to the journal to the ubuntu pastebin [16:06] (and share the link here) [16:08] frad: do /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname have the same hostname? [16:12] frad: i have to leave for now, will be back later, but there are others here who can help when you provide actionable info, such as error messages from the logs. [16:18] * agvantibo66 Begs for +o [16:19] Is uninstalling sudo and using doas a good idea on Ubuntu 20.04 [16:20] Huh? [16:21] * agvantibo66 Waits nervously [16:21] agvantibo66: I'd guess many packages/apps depend on sudo [16:23] agvantibo66: no, it is not a good idea. Unless you are keen on modifying your distribution beyond what is supported here. [16:23] mefistofeles Does apt prompt that this package is a dependency, or it just grinds everything silently? [16:23] agvantibo66: why do you feel the need to replace sudo? [16:24] It's quite slow. Doas is faster. I already installed doas and aliased sudo to it, but I just don't want anything not needed laying around [16:26] agvantibo66: doas is not supported here. You would be on your own [16:26] thanks leftyfb. I'll just leave it as is. [16:27] * agvantibo66 Waves to TheFu and recognizes him as an Ubuntu Forums moderator [16:27] if sudo is slow for you, you probably have other problems [16:27] since it is not slow in general [16:27] Haha maybe [16:29] When I use up 4gb of ram for VMs, and run pycharm, firefox, and zoom symultaneously (On 8 gb total), everything is quite slow [16:29] :/ [16:30] just built a new system, 64 GB RAM... was surprisingly cheap [16:30] I can't [16:30] only around 320 CHFr for DDR4-ECC DIMMs [16:30] (4x16) [16:30] I am actually 14 yrs old. And live in Russia. Figures... [16:31] So no ram upgrades [16:31] then maybe VMs might not be the optimal thing to run [16:31] Yep [16:32] maybe something like lxc containers are cheaper, if they work for you [16:32] But I need android x86 for games, like free among us [16:33] I have thought changing the hypervisor from Virtualbox to something lighter, like QEMU, but i've never had the time [16:34] I have tried the AQEMU GUI once, but didn't like it. And I just don't want to mess with one-page long qemu commands (If I don't use the GUI) [16:36] agvantibo66: among us is $4.99 USD on Steam on Ubuntu [16:37] I'm a total cheapskate. If I can save a few bucks for the "inconvenience" of 5 minutes of vm lag a day, I'll save. [16:42] pavlos, wow, no... different hostnames...

Do you think I would get better performance using LVM to make a JBOD, or mdadm to make a software raid0 ? [16:52] frad: yes and restart to make sure all is well, then sudo should be immediate [16:57] pavlos, we don't understand each other. I dont know ho to change /etc/hosts [17:01] frad: cat /etc/hostname what is your hostname? [17:02] frad: then sudo edit /etc/hosts, 127.0.1.1 thesamename [17:02] frad: use an editor you're familiar with (nano, vi, ...) [17:02] pavlos, would it work with geany? I open /etc/hostname with geany and save it [17:03] frad: sure [17:03] but I need to do it as sudo pavlos ... [17:03] correct?

[17:31] I don't know whether anyone here read the conversation between me and Jeremy31 here yesterday about a non-bootable 20.04.1 after upgrading packages on a new install of the desktop iso? [17:31] I wanted to let you know that i could fix the broken boot on apt upgrade after a new install of 20.04.1, by doing the following: [17:31] Removing the package "linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-hwe-20.04" first, then apt update && apt install --reinstall linux-generic, then reboot, then apt update && apt upgrade, then reboot again. [17:31] After this there is no 5.8 installed anymore, and 20.04.1 can just reboot again normally. [17:31] Probably a lot users here know how this works already, and don't need it, but i just wanted to let you know that it /does/ fix this problem. Thank Jeremy31 for the help. Bye! [17:31] :) [17:32] Never has any problem with Ubuntu so far [17:32] I have multiple monitors that are in extended mode on 20.04. All is well until the system times out and goes to the lock screen. When I unlock the desktop the monitors act like they are in "mirror" mode. Display settings still shows "extended" and I have to apply "mirror" mode and revert the change to bring them back. Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix? [17:35] Each time I boot I see ir checks the disk (bootable usb by rufus) all is good [17:35] Any solution ? [17:36] pavlos, thanks, it worked [17:36] anibic: try looking in your BIOS and see if there's a RAID enabled. Or try toggling EFI [17:36] I have made it MBR not GPT. [17:37] I disble URFI in bios and CSM always and Boot legacy only [17:40] I have made the bootable usb by rufus as MBR and have CSM support=always, Storage Boot =Legacy only, [17:40] frad: good [17:42] anibic: I would not use rufus. Try etcher.io [17:45] cbreak: zfs on raid0 of jbod? [17:45] is that non-journaled? [17:45] or* [17:59] octav1a: zfs on raw disks [17:59] zfs has its own version of "journal" [18:27] what am i screwing up with this command? cat < /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list\n deb https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal nginx\n deb-src https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ focal ngin\n EOF [18:30] i am not familiar with the cat command [18:33] c0fe: what are you trying to accomplish? [18:38] c0fe: you can just open that file in a text editor and add those lines yourself... [18:38] you don't have to use shell IO redirection and here-files [18:39] or if lazy, use echo -e [18:50] c0fe: you need sudo [18:55] pavlos: i figured it out, with echo -e but i am running as root anyways [18:56] ok, bizarre: my machine does not reply to ping. iptables: accept/accept/accept (ufw status: inactive). /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all is 0. and I can see icmp echo requests coming in tcpdump [18:57] sed s/in tcpdump/via tcpdump/g [18:59] Mava42: pls describe your network, is the machine local? is it over vpn? [19:00] pavlos: local, [19:01] Mava42: so machine could be 192.168.1.10 and you ping this ip from another local machine 192.168.1.20 and ping fails [19:01] true, other way round it works nicely [19:01] so from .1.20 to .1.10 works, 1.10 to 1.20 fails, both can ping .1.1 [19:03] Mava42: are both linux systems? [19:03] both [19:03] 1.10 deb and 1.20 ubuntu 20.04 [19:05] can you ssh deb and paste 'ip addr' and 'ip route'? [19:05] no I wont, its meaningless [19:06] this feels like a firewall or so problem in the Focal [19:07] how do i tell if my ubuntu server issues are kernel related, my kern.log going back to december 27th are riddled with NMI, MCE, stalled CPU, etc errors. There's not really a reason this should be happening, the computer is clean, it runs stress tests, but when it starts handling guest VMs it starts freaking out [19:08] it's running 4.4.0-200 [19:08] hmm, also it seems that if I open e.g. port 12345 using nc on the focal, I cannot connect to it. only seeing "TCP syn" flags in the tcpdump [19:09] genewitch: MCE usually means hardware is failing [19:10] genewitch: the rasdaemon package has a ras-mc-ctl command that might be able to tell you more about your MCEs [19:16] BRB DC doing a reboot of this hyper [19:17] sarnold: thank you [19:23] Mava42: https://termbin.com/0xuw [19:35] Trying to figure out why my Lenovo P620 will boot from any FreeBSD .img burned to a flashdrive but not an ubuntu ISO... I'm using etcher to burn [19:35] And of course the box is set to boot USB flashdrives before the HDD [19:36] gartt: did you verify the checksum of the downloaded ubuntu install .iso against the website? [19:37] etcher is good for ensuring the iso you have properly lands on the installer media, but that's step #2, first you need to verify the download is in a good condition. [19:38] tomreyn: I verified that a macbook booted from the same ubuntu thumbdrive fine, so it shouldn't be an integrity issue [19:40] gartt: that's not a proper test, though [19:42] tomreyn: Agreed, but when downloading one of the ISOs such as https://ubuntu.com/download/server ubuntu server, it just prompts me to download, and there's no hashsum visible to match against [19:43] I retract that, sorry. Big fat button that says Verify === agvantibo67 is now known as agvantibo66 [19:49] Is somebody using Windows 10 here? Is there a window manager to get rid of the unspeakable start menu? [19:49] o.k. wrong channel [19:50] lol [19:50] there is, but we dare not speak its name [20:04] tomreyn: Just downloaded the latest server ISO, and ubuntu-20.10-live-server-amd64.iso: OK <-- verified fine === gelswippe is now known as gelswip [20:36] is good plesk for ubuntu ? [20:41] Hi! [20:42] When I install the NVIDIA driver 460 (latest) and reboot I get a black screen. I already disabled the nouveau driver, that isn't it. I have no Optimus. No 2 GFX cards, only one that is supported officially by the NVIDIA driver (from the nvidia website). It's a GTX 2070 SUPER mobile / Max-Q [20:43] When I boot into livecd (usb stick) and chroot into my disk and remove all nvidia packages it is fixed again and I get my GUI back [20:43] When I install version 390 then I get a 800x600 display and I dont know how to change that to native resolution. [20:43] What now? [20:44] I have tried most solutions but they end up telling you to reinstall the latest version of the nvidia drivers [20:44] I can not get into a TTY with Ctrl + Alt + F1-F7 [20:44] So I can not check my log files to see why it is giving me a black screen [20:45] I also do not own a monitor so I can't check if other displays work :( (a suggestion on askubuntu.com) [20:45] I also tried the driver from the nvidia website but it told me to use the ubuntu one instead [21:08] How can I easily rename a file to include the creation date (not the modification date)? === Aavar_ is now known as Aavar [21:13] Aavar: are you sure that your filesystem supports recording the creation date? not all filesystems do [21:14] sarnold: This is Ext4... i'm not sure. I figured out a way to not change the date after unpacking the file, so now it's the same date :) [21:15] woot [21:15] (Actually, that was on NTFS before the upload. Anyway, Problem solved ;)) [21:17] Aavar: stat(1) emits "Birth: -" for my systems.. depending upon how many of these things you need to do, a bit of awk / grep / sh / kind of stuff around stat might work okay. but if you've got hundreds or thousands, it'd probably be better to write a tool in python or rust or go or something [21:36] Anyone know of a launcher where I can run bash scripts from the menubar [21:37] hi, how do install debug symbols for libsdl2? [21:41] wow... ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ## wants to remove "libnvidia-compute-450 mesa-vulkan-drivers ubuntu-mate-core ubuntu-mate-desktop xorg". [21:42] janisozaur: hopefully these has something useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages [21:42] which probably is a mess by me removing "linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-hwe-20.04". Which i did to fix a boot issue... [21:44] i don't want to install the 5.8 kernel on 20.04.1... anything i can do to fix this? [21:46] seems i can install 5.8 and configure grub to boot the 5.4 version [21:47] coconut: try this: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04- linux-generic [21:47] i do think someone needs to fix the repo though if you ask me [21:48] it was an intentional choice to upgrade to 5.8 kernels, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes#Ubuntu_Desktop [21:48] sarnold, yeah but with that the 5.8 kernel gets installed right? Well if i do that and boot it too, my system does not boot.... [21:49] coconut: note the - at the end of linux-generic-hwe-20.04- [21:53] sarnold, yeah but that edge version does not work with my laptop [21:54] coconut: note that when you use apt install foo- apt will *uninstall* foo. [21:55] sarnold, yeah but i do not have that kernel installed [21:55] and linux-generic already is [21:55] coconut: oh. I thought it was installing that kernel that broke you :) [21:59] sarnold, it did... and so i fixed that by a reinstall and removed linux-generic-hwe-20.04 before apt update && apt upgrade. [21:59] but now ubuntu-drivers does not like to do its stuff [22:01] It means that from 20.04.2 release Ubuntu Desktop will gain new major kernel versions every 6 months through to summer of 2022. [22:01] A bit confusing since it mentions the second point release and it hasn't been released yet [22:03] yeah [22:05] jeremy31, so if install that kernel and configure grub to boot the 5.4 it will fix itself? [22:07] coconut: What is wrong with the driver manager? [22:08] jeremy31, it installs essential packages [22:08] libnvidia-compute-450 mesa-vulkan-drivers ubuntu-mate-core ubuntu-mate-desktop xorg [22:08] *uninstalls [22:10] coconut: You might be able to reinstall that nvidia hwe package and see what happens. I did a dependency check and it only depends on itself [22:11] jeremy31, ok will do that tomorrow, my bed calls now [22:11] thanks jeremy31 [22:16] Put both ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso on usb thumbdrives, and nothing - didn't read at boot and booted to HDD. ubuntu-20.10-live-server-amd64.iso did boot from usb thumbdrive, but I got a TPM interrupt not working, polling instead error.
