[00:11] Download snap "gnome-3-28-1804" (145) from channel "stable" (unexpected EOF) [00:11] where can i download this snap ? [00:15] Hi [01:08] so this is my partition setup for ubuntu 20.04; i notice i'm running out out of space on /opt/ i regret separating paratitions like this as i have plenty of room on /home/ but running out of space on /. what would you suggest to do at this point? its a 500 gb samsung ssd. i also have a 500gb internal platter drive i'm not really using for anything. [01:08] https://imgur.com/a/LjyEWBV [01:09] ext4 formats [01:12] arooni boot to live usb, rsync everything to the home partition as a proper filesystem, delete the other partitions, resize home and fix the fstab [01:12] arooni: make backups first [01:14] which is the proper filesystem? [01:14] xfs? [01:15] hello? [01:15] I mean rsync the other partitions to their proper location on your home. [01:16] when i boot, it goes into grub. im trying to fix it by following this https://askubuntu.com/questions/232215/stuck-in-grub-rescue-mode [01:17] when i type "ls [partition]" i found one that returns /efi/boot [01:17] for instance: mkdir {/mnt/{opt,home} && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/home && sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/opt && sudo rsync -av /mnt/opt/ /mnt/home/opt/ [01:17] ah so you're saying i can keep ext4 ; but make everything, root, swap, home all mount on the same partition? [01:17] does that mean that is my linux partition? [01:17] oh i see; put it all in /home [01:18] arooni: the home partition, not within the /home directory on the home partition [01:18] when i'm done can i combine the /home partition with the separate root partition and merge the space? [01:18] ah ok [01:18] arooni: the home partition is going to become root [01:18] arooni: make backups [01:18] ai, root is outside the extended part.. [01:18] yes definitely; i have that 500gb drive internal and also a 2tb network drive i could borrow [01:19] arooni: make backups and prepare to reinstall from scratch [01:19] i suppose i should make two backups ; one on the internal drive and on on the usb drive [01:19] before i do anything else [01:19] whats the best way to do the backup? rsync? [01:20] and rsync say all of home and in a separate directory all of / ? [01:20] thanks for all the advice btw [01:20] arooni: also, your users home directory is probably on the root of the home partition. You'll want to sudo mkdir /mnt/home/home # and move your users home directory from /mnt/home/$USER to /mnt/home/home/$USER [01:21] its partition surgery [01:23] would a re-install work better? or i could always resort to that if i'm a terrible surgeon? [01:24] arooni: been helping you for 12 years now :) [01:25] arooni: consolidating the partitions would be a good learning experience. But if you're not interested in that then yeah wiping and starting over will be a lot easier [01:25] i'm sorry that i still need the help ;P [01:25] would you go with ext4 again? [01:26] assuming i did the reinstall route [01:26] yes [01:26] no reason why not to trust ext4 [01:26] nope [01:27] oh theres the xfs thing; but i know nothing about it [01:27] i did some file system repair before with ext4; seemed to have the facility for it [01:28] what is my bigger error, picking separate mount points for root and home? [01:28] didn't that use to be accepted practice at some point? [01:28] it doesn't make a lot whole of sense to do these days [01:28] xfs does have advantages, but not for a single user system. [01:29] just use the whole drive, don't bother with manual partitioning [01:30] i don't remember what the rationale was for that decision [01:31] when you do the backup would you use rsync? [01:31] arooni: btw, your first request for help, as far as my logs go anyway: :Mar 31 00:28:47 help! i have ubuntu ibex on my thinkpad t61. when i restarted, the networkmanager applet is not visible and thus i don't know how i can connect to a wireless network. any ideas? [01:31] 2009 [01:31] hahahha you have a much better memory (and logs lol) than i do. [01:31] you think i'd be an expert by now [01:31] i learn just enough to get by lol [01:32] and i'm still using a thinkpad, but now a souped up t420 that has a 500gb ssd, 12gb of ram, and an upgraded quad core processor. it refuses to die [01:32] i would like a new lenovo soon but this keeps getting the job done [01:33] i appreciate all your help over the years very much [01:33] linux can be challenging at times [01:36] kkky [01:36] oops ; typo :( === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === medium_cool is now known as medium_cool[away [02:43] what anyone here use duplicati? having trouble getting it working with dependencies === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [02:53] ok i think im getting it solved [03:42] Hi all, I want to replace my old door intecom with a doorphone. I have a small pxb (grandstream) and an audiocodes mp-202 2fxs to connect an analog doorphone (2 wires). I managed to do the autodial inside the audiocodes but I need to nable some kind of autohangup when we hang up inside the house so the doorphone hangs up too. any ideas? [03:49] I am trying to set up NFS on a ubuntu server that is on an isolated LAN (by that I mean that is is not connected to the internet) [03:57] tux-cool great, is there a question? [03:57] @tux-cool [03:58] I am trying to set up NFS on a ubuntu server that is on an isolated LAN (by that I mean that is is not connected to the internet) [03:58] @tux-cool ok [03:58] how should I do that [03:58] the server is not connected to the internet of security reasons [03:59] internet is not required to have an NFS server [03:59] how should I install the required packages [04:00] for the setup can you connect the computer to the internet [04:00] ? [04:01] The computer in question can not be connected to the internet for security reasons. [04:01] do an installation at home, basic vanilla ubuntu [04:02] what do you mean [04:02] then do: sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server [04:02] take note of the packages installed [04:02] the server already has ubuntu studio installed and has and never will connect to the internet [04:03] there should be only one. [04:03] Surely you could dowload packages on another computer, move them to the server, or a location accessible to the server, and install them manually? [04:03] ubuntu studio? [04:03] are you allowed to connect a usb drive to the server? [04:03] what are the dependencies of nfs-kernel-server [04:03] I am allowed to connect a usb drive to the server [04:04] ok, replicate your installation on another computer and validate if there is any dependency [04:04] soy_el_pulpo: your question isn't an ubuntu support question [04:04] it's just the NFS kernel [04:05] ok, so can I just download the package and put it onto a usb drive and use DPKG to install [04:05] @leftyfb sorry, I forgot to change the channel. my bad. Apologies [04:05] It was intended for the asterisk channel [04:09] @tux-cool I don't see why you won't be able to do so [04:10] @soy_el_pulpo thank you for your help [04:10] ;-) [04:10] I think that I now understand what to do [04:10] question: after starting up, running `sudo journalctl` returns "no journal files were found -- no entries --" until i restart systemd-journald. the latter seems to be running fine if i check the status, and there are log files being generated in /var/log/journal. i can also see logs being sent out via rsyslog, so i assume something's just preventing journald from processing them. running ubuntu 20.04. [04:11] how do i mount a raid0? i just installed a server 20.04 and selected raid0 at boot with 4 disks, i see mdstat showing the array is built at /dev/md0 [04:11] been searching around but to no avail :( is there anything else i can try? [04:11] but i get an error when trying to mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0 [04:12] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0 [04:14] @billybigrigger try this: sudo mdadm --assemble --scan [04:16] soy_el_pulpo no output is good output? lol [04:17] i still can't mount after that command [04:17] mount | grep md shows nothing either so it's not already mounted [04:17] check the status of the raid [04:18] state: clean [04:18] disks 0-3 are active.... [04:18] listed as /dev/sda..b..c...d [04:18] ok [04:18] i dunno what you want me to see, it's all the same [04:18] the uuid has not change? [04:18] no [04:18] why they stopped working? [04:18] what changed? [04:18] fresh install....then never STARTED working lol [04:19] ah ok [04:19] this was created from the installer btw [04:19] ok [04:19] where is runsvdir-start usable for ? [04:19] but, all looks good to me, i dunno what's wrong, i haven't used ubuntu in ages [04:19] active devices: 4 [04:19] working devices: 4 [04:19] new machines do weird stuff with the boot [04:19] failed devices: 0 [04:20] but you got the the rescue terminal of the installation? [04:20] no i'm in the installed OS [04:20] it's just not finding the /boot [04:20] no no, i'm not trying to do boot raid [04:20] ok. so the raid is for data? [04:20] the os boots fine [04:20] yes correctt [04:21] you have a functional system on another disk? [04:21] yes [04:21] ah ok [04:21] i just can't mound /dev/md0 [04:21] s/mound/mount [04:21] well, destroy the raid and doi it by hand [04:21] lol [04:22] do a parted o fdisk to check the device [04:23] partitioned and formated? [04:23] the block device exist as /dev/md0 [04:24] need to create a partition and that's what you mount === Glassjoe is now known as Guest14602 === Glassjoe_ is now known as Glassjoe [04:33] total noob question, is it possible to run doh and dot and the same machine DOT https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/dns-over-tls-resolver-nginx & DOH https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/dns-over-https-doh-resolver-ubuntu-dnsdist [05:17] moo Glassjoe :) [05:18] :o [05:18] have xubuntu 20.04 will install [05:20] ö [05:50] total noob question, is it possible to run doh and dot and the same machine DOT https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/dns-over-tls-resolver-nginx & DOH https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/dns-over-https-doh-resolver-ubuntu-dnsdist [06:35] whats the defacto disk benchmarking util in linux/ubuntu? [06:35] i want to test my raid0 performance [06:42] i need some help with sssd [06:42] https://bpa.st/M4SJC [06:42] i have all the dependancies installed already [06:44] anyone here run lxd? how would i be able to configure a container behind a vpn [06:48] is anyone online? [07:08] me-sudoer-dentne, I would check your sources.. the versions in your paste don't match a single release; hiruste & focal?? [07:09] groovy [07:09] 20.10 [07:10] okay, yeah i was wrong, they do match groovy; except for `sssd-common | 2.4.0-1ubuntu3 | hirsute ` [07:12] groovy should read `sssd-common | 2.3.1-3ubuntu3 | groovy-updates` what do you see for `apt-cache policy ssd-common` [07:12] k wait [07:13] https://bpa.st/GJIOS [07:17] you have manually installed packages from hirsute? why? hirsute is not groovy; thus your issue? I'd remove the hirsute package(s) and use groovy ones [07:18] well i didnt [07:18] and of course `sudo apt -f install` to ensure you've caught them all [07:18] i installed from kali-rolling [07:19] the "Installed 2.4.0-1' matches the hirsute line I posted before.. it's not from a source in your paste (unless you edited it out), [07:19] then what should i do now exactly [07:19] same thing.. remove all kali packages [07:20] ok [07:20] then? [07:20] i thought lxd already installed on ubuntu as stock [07:21] guiverc: i removed them [07:21] I would check your system.. `ubuntu-security-status` for other packages that will create issues when you try to bump to hirsute... try and stick to official ubuntu packages unless you're willing to re-install often.. [07:21] `sudo apt -f install` should have no errors then [07:21] ok wait [07:21] no it doesnt show any errors [07:22] now what do i do [07:23] guiverc: please respond [07:23] if all unofficial packages are removed; installs from official sources should work again [07:23] ok [07:23] but how to det sssd working again [07:23] ? [07:24] get* [07:25] guiverc: and no i am not able to install sssd [07:27] if you provide a paste, me or others can look.. [07:28] !info sssd-common groovy | me-sudoer-dentne [07:28] me-sudoer-dentne: sssd-common (source: sssd): System Security Services Daemon -- common files. In component main, is extra.

[07:30] it'll apply to all "Depends:" lines [07:30] how do i do it [07:30] inc. the "sssd-ad" in front of the "Depends:" [07:31] you need to remove the kali-rolling packages you installed.. [07:31] i did [07:32] 193 packages removed [07:32] as I stated before, you could use `ubuntu-security-status --thirdparty` to get a list of all 3rd party you've added.. it may include other non-kali you've added too [07:32] ok wait [07:33] 1738 packages installed, of which: [07:33] You have no packages installed from a third party. [07:34] :) well done.. try to install again [07:34] again you have held broken packages [07:34] `sudo apt -f install` [07:34] did [07:34] that is the result [07:35] any detail show (ie. paste results) [07:35] https://bpa.st/ULXCC [07:36] `apt-cache policy sssd-ad` - i suspect that's still a kali package [07:36] ditto the other lines that have "Depends:" issues [07:36] idk [07:36] what to do? [07:36] I tried to allude to them before, but you missed it sorry; i'm distracted with other things [07:36] ok [07:37] sssd-ad is likely kali-rolling, as is sssd-ipa, sssd-ldap etc... [07:37] no it isnt [07:37] `apt-cache policy sssd-ad` should show the ubuntu source for it.. what do you get? [07:37] its there in groovy [07:37] okay sorry I misread your paste.. sorry [07:38] https://bpa.st/PMNH2 [07:38] `apt-cache policy libsss-idmap0` [07:38] oh ok wait [07:38] https://bpa.st/7Z7N4 [07:39] that's a KALI-ROLLING or (hirsute like) source - note the INSTALLED version is higher than any line which applies to a in.archive.ubuntu.com source for your groovy [07:39] ya i realised that [07:39] it needs to be removed;; it's wanting the kali/hirsute (later) packages than are available for groovy [07:39] so what do i do now? [07:39] * guiverc gotta go sorry [07:40] kk [07:41] the libsss-idmap0 (kali package) needs to be removed === spectrezh6 is now known as spectrezh [10:58] how does ubuntu protect against anomynous package upload [10:59] elaborate a bit AndroidDAW what are you trying to do? [11:00] like, how does ubuntu repo's ensure that a user cannot for example, upload a package that replaces another package created by another user? [11:00] for example, if a user tries to upload a fake/malicious glibc package [11:07] AndroidDAW: you could start the topic in #ubuntu-discuss if you like, and/or talk to the #ubuntu-mirrors & #ubuntu-release crew too [11:07] ok [11:07] as im thinking of creating my own repository that users can upload to, specifically for packages that are usable by my application [11:08] Regular users don't have permissions to just take and upload stuff to the universe/multiverse repos. [11:08] AndroidDAW: personal use or would you like to contribute to ubuntu? [11:09] personal [11:09] kk [11:10] And user repos (PPA) have to be set to override those explicitly. If you're doing this, you'll probably make sure that the repo is good [11:11] And if we're talking about devs uploading virus/spyware stuff, that's what Microsoft does, not canonical [11:31] how easy is it for a newbie to create a ubuntu .deb package from scratch? [11:32] how easy is it to create a .deb package from scratch? * [11:33] you were in the right channel in #ubuntu-discuss AndroidDAW [11:33] oof [11:41] pi0: seems lxd vpn is just like normal. The kernel could be old though so this shows a way around it https://d.sb/2019/07/wireguard-on-openvz-lxc [11:54] . === Critter is now known as handlebar [12:10] what command - app can I use to trim a flac file? I know there mkvtoolnix to trim mkv and mp4 files, but flac is audio [12:13] frad: audacity is nice for audio editing [12:13] ThinkT510, audacity will give me a huge file, 2.5x times the original size [12:14] I was hoping for something like mkvtoonix, which simply cuts the file [12:14] no size increase [12:14] cuetools? [12:14] https://danilodellaquila.com/en/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux [12:20] thatwon't work [12:24] frad: ffmpeg can cut flac without changing filesize ? Just set codec to copy. [12:24] frad: maybe you just need to tweak the quality output settings in audacity === semeion is now known as mnemonic [12:28] bibble, are you asking me or informing me? [12:30] Asking. Should definitely just slice away as you want then. No recoding etc. [12:32] ffmpeg -i song.flac -ss 00:12:34 -t 60 -c copy 1min.flac [12:57] Howdy folks [12:57] good morning [13:04] bibble, so, ss means starting cuepoint and t is the ending point? [13:04] not cue [13:04] just point [13:09] Yeah, start time the how many seconds duration. Can also do milliseconds: 60.3 [13:14] can I just dd the drive I'm booted from onto another drive, or would it be best to boot from live media instead? [13:15] bibble, if I trim files with both mkvtoolnix and ffmpeg, sometimes the resulting file will show as being, say 00:05:35, but play until 00:05:01. The file stops at 05:01, but those extra 4 seconds still appear in the media player. Why? [13:15] CrazyLikeAFox: best not clone a hd/ssd in curent use [13:16] lotuspsychje: fair enough, I intend to switch to using the desitination drive as the main one [13:17] CrazyLikeAFox: best to clone them both passive [13:17] why the ubuntu installer installs both the system / and /home on the same partition? this is painful in case of re-installation to the system, any thoughts on that?? [13:17] Not sure frad . ffmpeg probably has an option to cut by keyframe instead of real chop. Maybe something like that. [13:17] Yeah, I'll just pop a live dvd in [13:19] welldone: simpler for average linux user i guess [13:35] EriC^^ but ubuntu is used by average users as well as pro users and the issue is that you can't have disk encryption by installer if you used "custom" installation method unless you made that modification manually using the CLI [13:35] which is painful too [13:43] welldone: is it the same for both server and desktop edition ? Guess it makes sense as default desktop because of the average user installing apps that can add a lot of data in system. But server definitely better being separate for stability. [13:44] welldone: yeah, that's an issue [13:56] If I go to packages.debian.org and search for a package, where can I see the component that the package is in, like main or contrib? [14:06] hmm, it seems this can be seen at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opencv but not directly on packages.debian.org [14:07] This ain't #debian though..

Pick and choose as needed [17:11] leftyfb : I have done a apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-image , as soon as it's over i'll check your command [17:11] btw, I am using virtualbox [17:11] sylario: you should really just install the hwe kernel package I mentioned if it's not already [17:11] sylario: that is information you really need to provide [17:11] thanks leftyfb [17:12] upgrading a vm from 18 to 20 .. [17:12] It cannot find linux-hwe-20.04 [17:12] sylario: you probably want the linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 package then [17:12] sylario: linux-hwe-20.04 is not a package name [17:12] oerheks: I am not very skilled in Linux, can you elaborate. [17:12] ? [17:13] Yo, I'm having an odd issue with bluetooth controllers and pairing a bluetooth headset. It's a bit complicated because I have both a built-in bluetooth controller on my mobo and a USB controller and I dual boot windows 10 and Ubuntu. Whenever a boot into the other OS, I have to re-pair and it hasn't been working at all with Ubuntu recently. [17:13] sylario: if you're running Ubuntu 20.04 within virtualbox, then you probably want to install the linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 package [17:14] do i want to be rsync with; "rsync -av /home/ /otherplace/" or "rsync -av /home /otherplace/" [17:14] or does that not matter [17:15] arooni: do not put those quotes [17:15] I do not understand, cat /etc/issue show 20.04.2 LTS [17:15] oh i wasnt going to use qutoes [17:15] just was trying to give two different command examples [17:15] if the trailing / mattered or not [17:15] sylario: sorry, my fault linux-headers-virtual-hwe-20.04 is the package name [17:16] oerheks: why is it bad to update 18 to 20 in a VM ? [17:16] arooni: to make your life easier, always plan on using the trailing slash and make sure it's doing what you want [17:16] sylario: it's not bad [17:17] sylario: but it probably makes sense to have the hwe kernel installed before and after the upgrade [17:17] leftyfb: what can happen if i dont use the trailing slash?

For example, I'm on the physical box, I launch Firefox. I then go to another machine, VNC, and use that same Firefox instance [19:45] Requiring registration to join the problem instead of to speak is a real problem. It keeps the channel from connecting on startup while Nickserv is still processing the login. [19:47] Who would I contact to get it changed to voice requires a registered login status from join? [19:48] Ahoy! [19:48] ruedii: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl - just set your client to use this. [19:49] ruedii, or even better. Forget that annoying SASL configuration and use KiwiIRC @ https://kiwiirc.com [19:51] krytarik, Didn't FreeNode suffer a massive hack/attack several years back that made them blacklist ip's and use SASL? What was the source of all this madness? Why is FreeNode 'dead' now? There's no activity in the channels that use to be lively....

[19:56] There is no session on TTY1 (or 2,3 etc) although there's a glimmer like one is trying to start then goes away? [19:56] I've tried two different computers, and two different images (04.1 and 04.2) [19:56] I'm doing something wrong I think? [19:56] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-server#1-overview [19:57] furicle: maybe the guide has some answers, if not try asking in #ubuntu-server [19:57] I've read that -  it says, and I quote "After a few moments, you should see messages like those shown below on the screen… [19:57] " [19:57] krytarik, I didn't know that SASL was supported on Freenode. When I first used freenode they didn't support it. (Long time ago.) [19:57] And I did try ubuntu-server the other day, no one responded.. [19:58] krytarik, thanks. [19:58] But I can try again. [19:58] furicle: otherwise try asking on the forums or askbuntu [20:00] did you check the iso? [20:00] !md5sum [20:00] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which a checksum is provided), see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu [20:00] SHA256 is used these days iirc [20:02] and maybe some hardware specs, legacy mbr or UEFI [20:08] I tried it first on an (ancient) Q6600 desktop with 8 gig of ram (BIOS, blank drive) [20:08] When that didn't work I tried it on my daily driver laptop - 16G, UEFI Lenovo P series.   The two have nothing in common, and neither works. [20:10] furicle, have you verified the ISO? [20:10] Yes, the checksums match. [20:18] furicle, what exactly is it doing again? [20:18] furicle, what kinda GPU? [20:18] furicle, network card? type? [20:19] post hardware specs [20:21] InZaneGamer84: he's in #ubuntu-server now. Discussing it in two channels at a time is a bit overkill. [20:22] Maik oh ok. I curious, gonna listen in [20:30] OF: graph: no port node found in /i2c@ff3d0000/typec-portc@22 [20:34] Followup from a couple of weeks ago: I gave up trying to have multiple ESPs and stop grub from messing up the efi boot entries. I have one disk with an ESP and if it happens to be the one that fails _knock on wood_ I'll have to use a bootable drive or something. Kept all the /boot and whatnot though, so will just be a couple of commands in grub to boot from either of them. [20:42] gazby: What's the situation? Multiple drives? [20:43] Yeah a raid-1 and I wanted to boot from either drive. Got a bunch of suggestions from here but nothing worked nicely (mostly around the boot menu becoming a total mess), so I gave up :( [20:44] Hardware RAID controller or software RAID? [20:44] Software [20:45] That makes thing difficult... Running multiple OS's, or just Ubuntu? [20:46] I'm trying to find a copy of the ubuntu drums sound [20:47] all i can find are posts asking how to disable it :( [20:48] can someone send me their "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg" [20:48] JivanPal: Just Ubuntu [20:53] actually I think it is /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg that I need? [20:58] semitones, you could try apt-get source ubuntu-sounds [21:27] Hi! Was wondering if anyone with knowledge of EFI + grub could provide some help regarding grub reinstallation via chroot? (not entirely sure but it seems I installed new dell firmware on my laptop and it seems to have screwed the bootloader). Found fairly simple instructions online but I'm not quite sure about what needs to be mounted where in my particular setup. [21:28] Hello! You have Ubuntu installed, but can't boot from it? [21:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2 [21:29] Getting: no bootable drive found message when powering up. The drive seems fine. I booted from an external HD, can see my drive and partitions. I actually mounted the system partition and what I thought to be the efi one but then, got an error while doing grub-install. Came here so that I don't screw it further (I use this computer for work). [21:30] Since you have EFI, there's probably an entry in the EFI boot menu. Does pressing F12 on boot show an Ubuntu option? [21:31] Nope, under uedi boot I have: linux firmware updater and Windows Boot Manager. [21:31] *uefi [21:31] Okay — what OS are you booting externally? [21:31] kde neon [21:31] (the target computer is running plain ubuntu) [21:32] there is also bootrepair [21:32] !bootrepair [21:32] Boot-Repair is a simple tool to repair frequent boot issues you may encounter in Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for more info. [21:32] In KDE, can you mount the EFI system partition of the internal drive? [21:32] It's probably /dev/sda1 [21:32] oerheks: I tried boot repair but it didn't offered the option to actually repair the boot. [21:32] not sure why a uefi bios upgrade would affect the efi partition [21:33] Getting: no bootable drive found message when powering up. [21:33] JivanPal: I think I did it last time. (After that I ran grub-install and got the error (it failed to find the EFI folder). [21:33] oerheks: Just checking whether the `ubuntu` dir is still on the ESP or not; if not, we can use grub-install, but if it is there still, then we can use efibootmgr to add an entry to the boot menu [21:33] (just a sec, I'll boot with the external drive again) [21:34] maybe boot is set to the wrong disk? [21:34] oerheks: strav says that the machine is only showing Windows and Linux firmware updater options [21:34] strav: do you actually have Windows installed on the internal drive? [21:35] JivanPal: no. My suspicion is that the dell firmware upgrade I ran actually install windows mbr of messed with my boot partition somehow [21:36] It sounds like the Dell firmware assumes you have their OEM setup, i.e. Windows and nothing else, and that it's reset the EFI entries, detecting the `ubuntu` dir on the ESP, and added a default "Linux firmware updater" entry for that which doesn't actually do what it needs to [21:37] Anyway, once you're in KDE, mount the EFI System Partition (probably /dev/sda1), and see what's in the `EFI` folder [21:37] JivanPal: yep this is pretty close to how I assumed [21:37] contact dell? [21:37] JivanPal: yep on route to do just that. [21:38] oerheks: I contacted them, they bailed on me the moment I said it was for linux [21:40] JivanPal: gparted sees my /dev/nvme0n1p1 with name: EFI system partition, file system: fat32 flags: boot, esp. [21:40] If you're confident that nvme0 is the internal drive, then that's gotta be the right partition [21:41] JivanPal: yes I am pretty sure it is. [21:41] I have two other partitions on the internal drive: the main system (luks encrypted) and another ext4 where, I believe the kernel images are stored. [21:41] (trying to mount the encrypted partition and then will mount the EFI) [21:43] We don't need to worry about the LUKS partition, the other two concern us, mainly the ESP right now [21:46] JivanPal: ok. (sorry was busying with mounting the luks (done)) [21:46] No worries [21:47] just mounted the EFI/esp partition [21:48] it has a EFI folder and a grub folder at root (not sure the gurb is there from my previous failed attempt of grub-install) [21:48] EFI has: BOOT, Dell and ubuntu [21:49] Wonderful, ubuntu is there. Go ahead and delete the grub folder at the root of the ESP, we don't need that [21:49] done [21:50] I assume /dev/nvme0n1p2 is your unencrypted EXT4 partition? Have you mounted that? [21:50] My encrypted system partition is nvme0n1p3, I mounted it at /mnt [21:51] Unencrypted :-) [21:51] yes [21:51] Great, what's in that unencrypted partition? I assume it has a `grub` or `boot/grub` folder? [21:53] Yes I just mounted it as well (/dev/nvme0n1p2) it has a bunch of initrd.img[...] files efi and grub folders [21:53] efi is empty [21:53] Great, that's got your kernel images. The empty `efi` folder is where the ESP is normally mounted [21:53] (grub has some grub related stuff in it) [21:54] Nice! this is what I was trying to figure out when doing the chroot method. [21:54] Can you do `sudo efibootmgr -v` and pastebin.com the output? [21:55] so I guess I mount system at /mnt, then mount this partition (p2) at /mnt/boot and then the ESP (p1) at /mnt/boot/efi? [21:55] You don't need to do any manual mounting — we just need to add an EFI boot entry that specifies where the EFISTUB loader is (it's on the ESP in the ubuntu dir) [21:55] The when you reboot, UEFI will load the EFISTUB loader, which in turn will be able to read the EXT4 partition and boot [21:57] ok [21:58] Sorry, let me correct that explanation since you're using GRUB, not EFISTUB. We'll add an EFI entry specifying where `grubx64.efi` is (in that ubuntu dir), so that on boot, the UEFI can load GRUB [21:58] Anyway, let's see the output of `sudo efibootmgr -v` — take your time :-) [21:59] https://pastebin.com/nHNRUXRG [21:59] I'll be AFK for about 10 minutes [22:07] is there any mirror to download ubuntu 20 32bit? [22:07] lt: there isn't a 32 bit version [22:08] lt: as I know there is not supported anymore 32bit architecture but you can use this https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/i386/ it still exists and it's perfect for old devices [22:08] 5 [22:08] Standard Ubuntu flavour has dropped 32-bit installer for the 18.04 release aka Bionic Beaver (actually since the 17.10 release), but rest of the Ubuntu flavours still support 32-bit systems. [22:09] https://askubuntu.com/a/1127409 [22:10] same with version 18? [22:10] or the mini iso.. [22:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:15] 32 bit, you will have trouble finding a browser, like firefox [22:15] * as snap [22:16] hi [22:18] JivanPal: search for it a bit, so we'll be using something in the likes of: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 7 -L
