Is any other flash lib still supported? [00:52] there is a flash player snap, also a hack and a prop blob https://snapcraft.io/flasharch [00:53] support with the maintainer [00:54] DumbLDoor: flash isn't supported by anyone, including Adobe, it's creator.

[01:08] html5 is the bomb [01:08] sorry, no idea what edge dev means, and not seriously interested to find out [01:09] oerheks: Microsoft Edge (dev edition). anyways!

How can I install ubuntu on my desktop using it? Boot options don't seem to recognize it as a USB device [07:48] I don't have a flash drive on me* [07:49] are u sure it doesnt get recognized? [07:49] I dunno I get an error every time I try to choose it in the boot options [07:49] the hard drive is attached via usb as well isnt it? [07:50] yeah [07:50] what kind of error u get [07:50] another option would be to install it over network if u have a second computer of some sort [07:51] I do have a second computer but I don't know how that works [07:51] is on that computer a linux installed? [07:51] No, windows [07:52] on windows i have no idea either how to install a pxe environment :D [07:52] can u format the external hard drive or did u already? [07:53] I used rufus on it but I had to check list usb hard drives [07:53] just to extract that iso onto that external hard drive isnt enough. u need a boot sector directing to a grub on there [07:53] okay. stilll no luck with it? [07:54] Under boot device menu I see onboard or USB CD-ROM drive, onboard network controller, and USB device. If I choose either of the USB options it says selected boot device not available [07:56] i would check ur bios for some wrong settings... may be try disable secure boot? [07:56] hard to say whats wrong without knowing more details [07:57] but im using usually flash drives which i have plenty laying around here :D [07:58] which components is 21.04 using for Active Directory joining and GPOs? Is it just realmd with a GUI slapped on top? [07:59] and what specific GPO can be used with Ubuntu workstations? === ayr-ton is now known as court_jester [08:01] KittyTrouble: by any chance do you have ubuntu or any other OS that uses grub installed on the internal hdd you're trying to install to? [08:02] No I do not. It's a new desktop I just bought that has windows 10 [08:02] optiplex 760 [08:03] I wondered if theres' any silly secure-boot problem [08:03] KittyTrouble, is it viable to carry a desktop as a portable machine? [08:03] maybe rufus didn't make the live usb right? [08:05] KittyTrouble: i'd see if there's a fat32 partition with the efi dir inside and try to disable secure boot and boot the usb in uefi mode [08:05] for uefi mode all you need is a fat32, and the contents of the ubuntu iso in it [08:06] pikapika not sure what you're asking [08:06] but if you have at least efi/boot/bootx64.efi in there it should give you at least a grub shell [08:06] KittyTrouble, lug around a desktop in your bag [08:06] No I don't think so, why? [08:07] KittyTrouble, laptops are regressing these days [08:07] Very limited options [08:07] I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a desktop, so I don't get your line of questioning [08:07] he's trolling [08:08] KittyTrouble, its an unrelated matter [08:09] I don't see any secure boot setting, the SATA operation does list AHCI, ATA and legacy though [08:09] is there a uefi mode/csm legacy for booting? [08:10] Nothing that I can see [08:10] googling it [08:10] regardless that shouldnt affect booting off USB [08:10] when you used the boot options menu earlier, did it say "uefi usb" or just usb? [08:10] right [08:11] just usb [08:11] KittyTrouble: yeah it can boot in legacy mode [08:12] I just need a way to install ubuntu on this, and I don't particularly want to keep windows [08:13] I guess maybe I can buy a flash drive there has to be a way to use my external hard drive [08:14] if i were you, i would create a fat32 on it, extract the contents of the ubuntu iso there, and boot it in uefi mode [08:14] and possibly checksum the iso before doing so, just to know it's all intact [08:15] I don't know how to boot off a specific partititon [08:15] if you can point the dell bios to boot it in uefi mode, it should boot, or maybe if you have a 'browse for efi file' option you could manually browse to hdd/efi/boot/bootx64.efi and boot grub [08:16] KittyTrouble: when you select the hdd to be booted in uefi mode, it'll search for any fat32 and boot that specific file, it's the standard [08:16] if you boot the hdd in legacy mode, it will look in the mbr for a bootloader and run that [08:17] KittyTrouble: actually i think the fat32 partition has to have the efi partition flag as well [08:18] This is a lot of info and I don't know how to do the things you're saying, nor am I sure it would work [08:19] KittyTrouble: ok, when you plug the usb hdd in your other desktop, do you see a fat32 partition show up? [08:20] I dunno if it's a partition or not [08:20] It shows up in explorer [08:20] ok browse the files [08:20] do you see a 'efi' dir? [08:20] yes [08:21] inside it 'boot' then bootx64.efi ? [08:21] yeah [08:21] ok good [08:21] well it's capitalized but yes [08:21] ok so the file uefi uses by standard to boot is there [08:22] So what are you suggesting that I do on my desktop to get it working? [08:22] well im trying to understand the situation, just the basics, like car isnt starting, is there fuel in the tank? sort of [08:23] but since the file is there and the bios says no bootloader found or whatever, i'd guess maybe it has a problem booting usb hdd's or something in uefi mode? maybe if you could attempt to let it boot it in legacy mode that might work? [08:23] I have this external hard drive which I'd like to just work as a flash drive would, but I don't think it actually works that way [08:24] The only setting for AHCI/ATA/LEGACY is for SATA Operation [08:24] KittyTrouble: there are other options you could do to go about it, ultimately [08:26] i think it should work though, it's like as if you had ubuntu installed on the usb hdd, it would use the same file to boot [08:26] 1 sec [08:28] KittyTrouble: do you have options like these? https://youtu.be/5TtFuHTjRME?t=53 [08:29] No. [08:29] It's a little bit different. That screen doesn't have the option that video mentions [08:30] I could try updating bios [08:30] KittyTrouble: if you are unable to create USB installation media, you have the option to burn a DVD/-RW but you probably don't have that either [08:31] KittyTrouble: what options do you have when you go to the bios menu? [08:31] KittyTrouble: look for anything relating to secureboot, enabling usb booting, uefi/legacy [08:31] I already told you, there's nothing like that [08:32] There is a usb device thing [08:32] Everything is already enabled [08:32] can you screenshot? [08:32] Just it won't load off USB [08:33] Ok, itll be a second I'll have to take pictures of it [08:38] I started setting up windows was gonna try updating my bios I'll take a picture of the errors in a bit [08:44] Okay about to take pictures [08:48] They're uploading [08:50] https://imgur.com/a/ayDkAaV is all there is EriC^ [08:50] Hi! I am trying to run qt4 and qt5 on the same machine (ubuntu 20.04) but I cant find a package for qt4... how do I install it? I need it to build an app with qmake that is written in qt4. [09:10] I guess I can just try unetbootin [09:10] I didnt really wanna dual boot though === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [09:29] Hi. Is this correct for forwarding port `65432` on eth0 to port `65432` on eth1 to 192.168.1.2 : `ufw route allow in on eth0 out on eth1 to 192.168.1.2 port 65432 from any port 65432 comment "SSH Sea"` ? [09:37] is there a way to add a VPN to network manager without a password? I cannot get past the configuration unless a password is specified [09:48] KittyTrouble: sorry im back [09:48] np [09:49] KittyTrouble: what happens if you try to enter "System setup" ? [09:49] thats just the bios thing in the other screen [09:49] yup, that's what's needed, there should be a secureboot setting, uefi/legacy, usb booting related options there hopefully [09:49] im installing unetbootin on drive c and seeing if that works [09:50] KittyTrouble: also it could be worth it to try a different usb port as well [09:50] I showed you the available options in the album there [09:50] KittyTrouble: ok cool [09:50] oh ok, didnt see the rest of the pics below [09:51] I don't really want to take up space to keep windows on the computer but seems too much of a headache to do it otherwise [09:52] you can erase windows completely if you boot the live usb made by unetbootin too [09:53] KittyTrouble: still though there should be some secure boot setting somewhere in the bios i feel [09:53] I did it on drive c [09:54] KittyTrouble: one of the best ways to make a live usb is using dd on linux, you really just need to copy the image to the drive as whole [09:55] It's probably just a compatibility issue with the drive and the computer, or something like the drive isn't treated as a flash drive, I dunno [09:56] if you want you could try using dd equivalent for windows, it's because dd is the more fool-proof sure way of doing it, also think rufus has an option to just use dd, there's some info here on using dd on windows https://superuser.com/questions/839502/windows-equivalent-for-dd [09:56] KittyTrouble: yeah it's odd, but really it doesnt have to be treated as a flash drive, like if you had an actual install on the hdd, it should also be able to boot it i guess [09:57] (it's basically the same in the end, for uefi as i mentioned earlier it will use bootx64.efi, for legacy booting it will try to load the bootloader in the MBR master boot record) [09:58] KittyTrouble: did you try another usb port? [09:58] yes [09:59] how did you download the iso? torrent? [09:59] no off the website [10:00] I already said I'm installing it based on unetbootin on the c drive [10:00] Is there a way I can delete my windows partition after the fact? [10:00] And make this one bigger? [10:00] Or it can't work that way? [10:00] not sure what you mean, i thought unetbootin only makes live usbs [10:01] https://askubuntu.com/questions/484434/how-can-i-install-ubuntu-without-cd-and-usb [10:02] oh ok great, what step are you at, it's still installing or you reached the try/install menu and booted the live session? [10:03] I'm at the step where it asks the installation type. If I choose erase disk and install ubuntu is it gonna glitch out since the installation stuff is on drive c? [10:03] I have to just do it on a new partition, don't I? [10:03] yeah that's what i think as well [10:05] KittyTrouble, you haven't said what release that I can see; if you've plenty of RAM & a very recent release; the validation of media causes the whole installation media to be loaded into ram cache (as long as you've RAM available to keep it there... but that is dependent on unstated release) [10:05] hello [10:05] can anybody help me to boot into my system? [10:05] It's the latest long term release [10:05] I have ubuntu on my laptop, last night ran apt upgrade [10:05] then rebooted and it boots only into memtest [10:06] KittyTrouble: do you also have a desktop environment right now? or just the installer? [10:06] adding complexity: it's zfs on root with native encryption on [10:06] guiverc, you think if I erase disk and install ubuntu that it should be fine? [10:06] That's what I'd prefer [10:06] KittyTrouble, nope, it does the verify before cache is active so what I suggested doesn't apply (fully) in focal [10:07] guiverc: shouldn't it be using 'toram' as a kernel parameter for that? [10:07] I'm confused by what you're saying [10:07] You gotta spell it out for me, I'm not good with OS stuff [10:07] * guiverc the changes I was referring to where started in groovy (20.10) & completed in hirsute (21.04) so focal didn't have that yet [10:07] ah [10:08] EriC^^, toram may work; I've no experience with it and installs in a LONG time [10:08] aha [10:09] i think the safest approach is to delete the windows partition create an 'empty partition of size of the iso' and then install to the remaining space [10:10] But isnt the installation media ON the windows partition [10:10] what do you think guiverc ? or he could reboot, edit grub's line with toram, but then it's a little risky [10:10] I'd agree with what you said EriC^^ ; create partition for ISO & install with that (small amount of disk space is lost; easily reclaimed if you can be bothered) [10:10] KittyTrouble: yes but it's actually written there in the 'space' and right now it's loaded, so even if you remove the partition it would continue [10:11] as long as you dont overwrite it with the new install or any other data in that 'space' [10:12] no custom settings. it'sthe way ubuntu installer has set it up [10:12] 20.10 [10:12] KittyTrouble: so basically, you can either lose 4-5gb at the start, and then later try to reclaim it, or you can try to reboot, and in grub add in 'toram' so it loads everything to ram and try your luck with that [10:12] (just chose zfs and full disk encryption opntions in the installer) [10:13] When I load the computer, it says choose an operating system, windows or unetbootin [10:13] Choosing unetbootin allows me to install ubuntu etc [10:13] KittyTrouble: when you press unetbootin though it gives a grub menu with try or install ubuntu though right? [10:13] yes [10:14] i'd just go with the safer route of losing 4-5gb and reclaiming later [10:14] so you know your install is 100% and not corrupted somehow [10:14] You say that but I don't know the steps to do what youre staying [10:14] I need a step 1 do this, step 2 do this, etc [10:15] do you have any suggestions on what i can do to fix this error ? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5vFdXSqSjP/ [10:15] KittyTrouble: gotcha, are you in the desktop right now or just the installer? [10:15] i.e can you open a terminal? [10:15] I was in the installer. I tried resizing a partition and it gave an error [10:16] what was the error? [10:16] When I get back into the partitions I'll tell you [10:16] It's doing a disk check [10:16] ok, if you can get a desktop it'd be better (the try ubuntu option) [10:16] It was just an error resizing it and then there was some unknown stuff about the artition [10:17] ok [10:19] Once I get into the desktop then what [10:19] open a terminal and type 'sudo parted -ls' [10:19] do you have an internet connection in the live session? [10:20] I should [10:20] ok, type 'sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999' it will give you a link back to the paste, share it here please [10:21] It's taking a bit to load so when it does I'll do tha [10:22] i keep downloading files and they keep disappearing WTF [10:23] download done .. folder is empty [10:24] V|A, you probably download to a different folder [10:26] ok im in [10:27] https://termbin.com/bnlf [10:28] EriC^^ [10:29] KittyTrouble: ok, that's interesting, there seems to be an ext partition at the end, which is the same size as the ubuntu iso [10:29] maybe it's not actually using the first windows partition? [10:30] Yeah maybe [10:30] KittyTrouble: type 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' [10:30] then what [10:31] highlight the 500mb partition and delete it [10:31] done [10:32] KittyTrouble: can you open another terminal as well and type "mount | nc termbin.com 9999" ? [10:32] it should show what's actually mounted right now, if it's not using the ntfs one at all, maybe we can just delete it fully [10:33] https://termbin.com/02l6 [10:34] nevermind, it's using it /dev/sda2 on /cdrom type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096) [10:35] KittyTrouble: ok, in cfdisk, try to highlight the 316gb ntfs partition and delete it [10:35] There's not a 316gb theres a 294g [10:36] delete that one? sda2? [10:36] yup [10:36] That's deleted [10:36] ok, now create a new partition [10:36] primary? [10:37] yes [10:37] Ok, done [10:37] wait did it not ask for size? [10:37] Oh it did, I just chose the full amount [10:37] Was that wrong? [10:38] ok, delete it and create again using the size 4G [10:38] Ok, done [10:39] ok "write" the new partition table [10:39] Done [10:39] ok, quit the program [10:40] You mean quit the terminal? [10:40] no, just cfdisk if it hasnt already [10:40] Okay, what next? [10:40] KittyTrouble: type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" [10:41] does it say no such dir, or does it list a bunch of dirs? [10:41] ls /sys/firmware/efi [10:41] no such [10:42] ok great, that means the live usb is booted in legacy mode, which is great cause windows was in legacy mode and your bios is using that [10:42] KittyTrouble: ok, start the installer from the desktop icon [10:44] The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sdb Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing? [10:44] no need [10:45] Okay now I'm on the page install alongside windows 10, erase disk and install ubuntu, and something else [10:45] What should I put [10:46] Something else I assume? [10:46] yup go for it [10:47] Okay, what now? [10:47] I'm on the list of partitions [10:47] Plus button on the free space/ [10:47] ? === ghoti_ is now known as ghoti [10:49] KittyTrouble: yes press that and create a partition after the 4gb one [10:49] make it mountpoint "/" and fs type "ext4" [10:49] Primary or logical? [10:50] also at the bottom of the screen to the left, make sure it says location to install bootloader "/dev/sda" not sda1 or anything else [10:50] primary [10:51] it defaulted to my external drive, changed it to sda [10:51] ok great [10:52] The installer needs to commit changes to partition tables but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted: /cdrom [10:52] Please close any applications using these mount points [10:54] Window says failed to unmount partitions [10:54] yeah, that sucks, the ntfs one was mounted there [10:55] What should I do? [10:58] KittyTrouble: ok, new plan, try to use "dd" in ubuntu right now make the live usb on the ext hdd just in case (since right now it looks kind of skewed from parted's output earlier), 2nd reverse the changes we made to the partition table, boot into windows and from there shrink the windows partition and then boot again and install to the unallocated free space [10:58] What? [10:59] KittyTrouble: was the iso located on the C: drive? [10:59] Originally yes, idk what unetbootin did [10:59] ok, type in a terminal "nautilus /cdrom" see if you can browse to it and find it [11:00] Yes, I'm there [11:00] ok right click somewhere and press "open in terminal" if that's available [11:01] Okay [11:01] in terminal [11:02] ok, type md5sum ubuntu [11:02] mds5um ubuntu-desktop-blabla.iso [11:02] There's no .iso in that folder [11:03] where's the iso located? [11:03] The iso was located in my downloads folder before running the unetbootin on it [11:03] you saw it there in nautilus still? [11:04] There is a cdrom folder...it doesnt have an iso folder, it has the files and folders inside of it [11:04] doesnt have an iso file [11:05] no windows files? users dir? [11:06] imgur.com/a/OyzhrY0 [11:06] KittyTrouble: ok, go to users > your user > downloads [11:08] oh [11:08] I didnt download an iso [11:08] I hope you guys are planning to move to OFTC where #Debian is :) [11:08] unetbootin downloaded it for me [11:08] I can go download it though [11:09] Should I do that? [11:10] KittyTrouble: sure why not [11:11] we can at least get a 100% sure working live usb on the ext hdd, in case we end up needing it [11:12] I mean it's not gonna help if my computer can't detect the hdd [11:15] I guess it's not downloading [11:15] downloads in the live ubuntu use RAM, right [11:16] thats probably why [11:16] i only have 4 gb ram [11:16] no you should be able to save to "/cdrom" [11:16] it's mounted read-write [11:17] KittyTrouble: type in a terminal "wget -O /cdrom/ubuntu.iso https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso" [11:19] I'm downloading it using firefox already [11:19] Anyways, 1 minute left on the download [11:19] ok [11:22] doing the md5sum thing [11:22] it's doing whatever it's doing [11:22] ok actually do sha256sum instead [11:22] I aleady did md5sum is that ok? [11:22] it should give back 93bdab204067321ff131f560879db46bee3b994bf24836bb78538640f689e58f [11:22] yeah thats fine [11:23] seems fine to me [11:23] starts with 93 ends with 8f? [11:24] yes [11:24] ok great [11:24] KittyTrouble: type "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" [11:24] k [11:25] KittyTrouble: then type "sudo dd if= of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress && sync" [11:25] note that it's /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1 [11:26] if=ubuntu........iso of= ... right? [11:26]
