[13:17] <rapid16> Distro doesn't seem to have synthesis software included, any good software for creating music?
[13:33] <OvenWerks> hu, they left... maybe they found all the syth software that wasn't really hiding ;)
[20:43] <RickWohlschlag[m> Hi guys
[20:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> Trying to install from the newest installer and it seems to die at the end and do nothing
[20:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> it was installing, I went to take a shower and came back. Installer quit itself
[20:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> 21.04
[20:46] <corrinado[m]> Are you using the US images? Or the installer script on top of a standard Ubuntu install?
[20:47] <RickWohlschlag[m> US image, I guess from bootable USB
[20:48] <RickWohlschlag[m> It gets theough the disk partitioniong and starts installing packages, but screws up at the end stage
[20:48] <corrinado[m]> Interesting. On what hardware?
[20:48] <RickWohlschlag[m> HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2176z
[20:49] <RickWohlschlag[m> Ryzen 7
[20:49] <RickWohlschlag[m> NVIDIA RTX 3060
[20:50] <RickWohlschlag[m> Drive is an M2 flash
[20:50] <RickWohlschlag[m> Windows on it runs fine
[20:50] <corrinado[m]> Does the Install process Verify the Media as a 1st step?
[20:51] <RickWohlschlag[m> Hmmm... I did not see that step
[20:51] <RickWohlschlag[m> I could try again and get back....?
[20:51] <oerheks> enabled secureboot, disabled fastboot?
[20:51] <corrinado[m]> Ubuntu does that standard these days. But I'm unsure if US also does that by default
[20:52] <RickWohlschlag[m> Not sure about bios setting. Just got system today and did not mess with anything there. I believe fast boot may be on, as I get no feedback when booting from HDD
[20:53] <RickWohlschlag[m> Was not aware it should be off for Ubuntu
[20:54] <oerheks> see the uefi manual
[20:54] <oerheks> !uefi
[20:54] <ubottu> UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[20:55] <RickWohlschlag[m> his desktop is replacing that one and I thought I should get with the whole Plasma thing because I cannot directly upgrade to next version
[20:55] <oerheks> if grub cannot be written to the efi folder, it crashes indeed
[20:55] <RickWohlschlag[m> That is making sense to me. Probably what is happening
[20:59] <RickWohlschlag[m> How can i tell if the pre-installed Windows is in Legacy or UEFI mode?
[21:40] <RickWohlschlag[m> So here is what I get:
[21:41] <RickWohlschlag[m> Install freezes for a long time at 78% doing "Contextual Processes job"
[21:41] <RickWohlschlag[m> then I get an error:
[21:42] <RickWohlschlag[m> Installer failed
[21:42] <RickWohlschlag[m> External command failed to finish.
[21:43] <RickWohlschlag[m> Command apt install -y -no-upgrade -o
[21:44] <RickWohlschlag[m> Acquire::gpgv::Options=--ignore-time-
[21:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> conflict shim-signed failed to finish in 300
[21:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> seconds.
[21:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> There was no output from this command.
[21:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> Only close button and installer exits when it is hit
[21:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> ...
[21:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> Any ideas?
[21:53] <RickWohlschlag[m> I think I found the answer. Secure boot is probably enabled. I missed where the option was when I initially looked for it.
[21:54] <Iamthehuman1> I hope you make it RickWohlschlag[m. Ubuntu Studio is a really nice OS and has tons of wonderful software
[21:56] <RickWohlschlag[m> Yes - I am long time user in previous versions
[21:57] <RickWohlschlag[m> It is ideal for me, as I am musision, 3d artist, and photographer. This OS sums me up well.
[21:57] <RickWohlschlag[m> *musician
[21:57] <RickWohlschlag[m> I will dissable the secure boot after I eat dinner and give it another go
[22:24] <RickWohlschlag[m> Well - that did work. Install finished gracefully and on reboot, I get GRUB
[22:25] <RickWohlschlag[m> I choose to boot Ubuntu and I get the HP logo on my screen and nothing else...
[22:31] <corrinado[m]> Does Ctrl-Alt-F1 OR F6 OR F7 get you anywhere?
[22:39] <RickWohlschlag[m> Let me check
[22:42] <RickWohlschlag[m> F6 just put me at a command prompt...
[22:43] <Eickmeyer> I suspect it's the Noveau driver not liking such a new GPU. You might need the Nvidia proprietary drivers, RickWohlschlag[m.
[22:43] <Eickmeyer> !nvidia
[22:43] <ubottu> For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[22:44] <Eickmeyer> TL;DR: Get a command prompt, "sudo apt install nvidia-drivers-460".
[22:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> Why 460?
[22:45] <RickWohlschlag[m> I have a 3060
[22:45] <Eickmeyer> 460 is just the driver version number and has nothing to do with the model.
[22:45]  * Eickmeyer works on Linux laptops with Nvidia GPUs for a living
[22:46] <Eickmeyer> 460 is the latest in Hirsute.
[22:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> Got you - yeah, I just googled it
[22:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> let me try
[22:46] <RickWohlschlag[m> will update all packages first
[22:46] <Eickmeyer> Good call.
[22:47] <RickWohlschlag[m> bbl later with news - good I hope
[22:49] <RickWohlschlag[m> As soon as I figure out how to get an internet connection from the command line
[22:49] <RickWohlschlag[m> lol
[22:49] <Eickmeyer> You need a wired connection for now, getting wifi is going to be a hassle.
[22:50] <RickWohlschlag[m> Not going to happen the location of router and desktop
[23:07] <RickWohlschlag[m> Connected wireless - updating now
[23:15] <RickWohlschlag[m> Up and running!
[23:15] <RickWohlschlag[m> Thank you so much guys!
[23:16] <RickWohlschlag[m> Eickmeyer: nmtui is your friend for wireless connections in terminal
[23:24] <Eickmeyer> RickWohlschlag[m: Good to know!
