kaarioerheks I just saw your message. Unfortunately I've hit a brick wall with mkchromecast. https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/issues/357 I have the same issue as the OP, but I'm a newbie when it comes to computers and I couldn't figure out the fix.00:39

Guest46I am trying to upgrade from ubuntu 18 to 20, but when I execute `sudo do-release-upgrade` it says "Please install all available updates [...] before upgrading."  The 2 updates are for libgnutls30 and libsrt1.4-gnutls02:00
oerhekssudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade # and reboot02:01
Guest46When I try to update/upgrade those, it just says they have unmet dependencies and recommends they stay at the current version.02:01
Guest46Hm ok, I will try that02:01
oerheksapt install -f # should be in that error message, no?02:01

F14t_LooksHey, channel.02:44
F14t_LooksIs there an Ubuntu package to install gdb with ARM support on an x86-64 system?02:44
F14t_LooksI'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1.02:44
oerhekssidenote: 20.04.3 is current, update properly please02:44
sarnoldbtw what does it mean for gdb to 'have arm support' when running on a non-arm platform?02:45
oerheks!info gdb-multiarch02:46

F14t_Lookssarnold, It means I want to debug a binary running on an external target, connected with a debugger.02:46
F14t_Looksgdb-multiarch reports "unknown architecture: arm"02:47
sarnoldafaik there's no 'arm' arch, there's armel, armhf, aarch6402:47
sarnoldubuntu doesn't do armel02:47

F14t_LooksUSB-connected debugger.  "single wire debug" protocol, SWD.  (The debugger connection works fine.  I can use it to program the target.)02:49
F14t_Looksoerheks: No info for gdb-multiarch.  And gdb-multiarch is installed (so says   apt -qq list gdb-multiarch).02:51
sarnoldman there's way fewer files in gdb-multiarch than I expected02:56
sarnoldthanks for the single-wire debug :) I've not heard of that before02:56
F14t_Looksuh huh...seems like, doesn't it?02:56
F14t_LooksI saw a report that cross-GDB now has to be installed by hand now.02:56
F14t_Lookshttps://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-install-arm-none-eabi-gdb-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-focal-fossa/02:56
F14t_LooksI was really hoping somebody in this channel would tell me that wasn't the case...02:56
F14t_Lookssarnold: yeah.  Know what's easier than hooking up 6 different connections to 6 IC-specific pins for debugging?  "single wire" is a serious selling point.  (it also needs a clock line.  truth in advertising only goes so far I guess...)02:58
sarnoldhrmph. I see 'set architecture arm' in this old bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/1233185 near the debian/rules that's doing the configure step..03:01

sarnold   configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu03:05
sarnold... but it doesn't seem to show up in the built binary?03:05
F14t_LooksRight.  I saw that.  I think the gdb command was "show configuration"03:07
F14t_LooksSo, what's the moral of the GDB story?03:22
F14t_LooksIf I want cross-GDB I have to install the arm.com binary package by hand?03:22
F14t_Looks    https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads03:22
F14t_LooksOr build it myself?  (Hmm.  There's no gdb-multiarch source package for focal.)03:22
sarnoldF14t_Looks: it's built from the gdb source package03:23
sarnoldF14t_Looks: it's probably worth a bug report, too; it sure doesn't feel like there's something simple that we're overlooking03:24
Guest68when checking for dependencies, what's the difference between Depends and |Depends?03:29

Guest71Hi Everyone, I have Dell XPS 15, Ubuntu 20.04, when I lock screen, the WIFI turns off, how can I disable this?12:20
gebbionetomreyn, using network manager (ie click on the right top) i have no ethernet connection or device showing. Also Wifi I had set it up in a previous session, added the password and it would not connect on its own when i re-enabled wifi. FYI it is a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 and i just updated the BIOS, the memory was not fully recognised before but now it is fine. As suggested by @alkisg i had already run sudo a12:24
gebbionept install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 and this had fixed the ethernet temporarily but it is not turning on again now12:24
gebbionebluetooth is on by default when i boot, so another thing i might disable in the future12:25
gebbionei wonder if something wireless related gets in the way12:25
TJ-gebbione: NM by default is disabled from managing wired ethernet devices !12:27
gebbioneTJ-, just for clarity. I have never had the ethernet disabled when i boot up unless a connection problem exists and it would auto-connect. I call the tooling that does this and shows its status network manager but I might be wrong ... it is just the on the top right where the networking information is displayed but not present right now12:30
TJ-gebbione: on desktops Ubuntu uses NetworkManager but on 'server' installs uses systemd-networkd. For NetworkManager Ubuntu ships a file that disables managing wired links:  /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf12:32
masberso , I googled and found this command `apt rdepends <pkg name>` I want to read about it to understand what it does. Neither man apt not apt --help shows that the rdepends switch? why?12:35
gebbionei just run - lash -C network and shows the Realtec controller as unclaimed, investigating12:35
gebbionemight need to install an extra driver12:36
TJ-masber: rdpends comes from and is part of "apt-cache" - see "man apt-cache" - it reports reverse dependencies of a package (that is, Depends, Recommends, Suggests)12:41
Guest71Hi Everyone, I have Dell XPS 15, Ubuntu 20.04, when I lock screen, the WIFI turns off, how can I disable this?12:41
TJ-gebbione: aha! that'd cause a problem for sure. You've likely got a DKMS out-of-tree driver package for it that didnt' build successfully with the latest kernel12:41
TJ-Guest71: That does sound abnormal but, it could be due to some power-saving settings12:42
TJ-Guest71: have you added any tools like laptop-mode-tools, or changed any power settings recently?12:42
gebbioneTJ-, should i install the driver? the driver says up to kernels 5.6 but i have a 5.11 now12:43
masberif its so clever than apt rdepends means apt-cache rdepends... then, why is it not so clever with man or --help? I just dont understand this nonesense12:43
gebbioneactually i have a 5.412:43
gebbionenot sure why12:43
gebbionei will rerun the kernel update12:43
masberit is just not consistent12:43
Guest71TJ- ok got it, I have TLP, i'll check, thanks12:43
TJ-masber: you'd have to ask the Debian apt team12:44
gebbionewould that be a wise thing to do? ie run - sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 - again?12:44
TJ-gebbione: no, first identify how it should be configured. Did that interface work under an earlier kernel for example? If so, that tells us there should still be a driver available12:45
gebbioneTJ-, it works only when i run a live usb disk, then i did run the install of the above package and it worked suddenly. But after i update the bios (and this to me is totally unrelated to the driver) it is back to not working and the kernel is 5.412:46
gebbionei could try installing the driver from reattach12:46
TJ-gebbione: does it have any networking, via Wifi for example, so we can collect some info from it?12:47
gebbionedriver installation worked12:48
gebbionei had yes but looks fine now with the driver from reattach12:48
gebbionei will just reboot that machine to double check it stays ok12:48

tomreynmabye hitting escape would work, though?14:08
tomreyni.e. entering it on the text screen14:08
tomreynif this also doesn't work: all you really need to know there is that you're definitely at the passphrase prompt, maybe there could be another way to signal that (LED, audio etc.)14:10
oerheksmerpnderp, does your BIOS give an option, what screen/ext screen to be primairy?14:10

puffGood morning.  I recently upgraded from xubuntu 18.04 to stock ubuntu 20.04.3. I seem to be getting this random "boop" sounds.  How do I figure out where they're coming from?14:57
mithrinHello, how is /tmp/ handled in ubuntu?14:59
TJ-puff: 'boop' ?!15:00
tomreynmithrin: quite well.15:02
tomreynmithrin: it's a tmpfs by default, if that's what you mean15:03
TJ-mithrin: systemctl cat systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer15:04
TJ-mithrin: systemctl cat systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service15:04
TJ-mithrin: basically, cleaned on a scheduel15:04
=== ^wuseman is now known as Guest8052
puffTJ-: Yup, just happened again. It's not the google chat notification sound, it's a bit deeper than that, maybe 2-3 tones but very quick/short/jammed together.  There's no popup that I can see.15:16
TJ-puff: probably a notification sound15:16
puffTJ-: When I get the boop whenI happen to be in this terminal window, where I can see the Ubuntu launch bar (or whatever you call it) on the left edge of the screen, sometimes I think I see a flicker of motion on the launch bar, but I don't know what.15:17
puffTJ-: Is there any sort of centralized spot where I can see all of the notifications?15:17
oerheksfor terminal, there is only the terminal bell  in its own settings15:18
TJ-puff: Not sure, I don't use Gnome. What IRC client are you using - it could be notifying you of something, like your nickname being mentioned in a channel that doesn't have the focus15:19
puffHm,g ood point.15:20
puffEmacs erc, running on a virtual server (in a screen session) via terminal window &ssh.15:20
TJ-puff: so not complicated at all then :P15:21
puffHm, okay,s o that's one, yeah... except that I just got a second boop.15:22
puffIt booped, I alt-tabbed back here to see your comment, and then it booped again, almost immediately.  So unless it's going off twice per comment or something.15:23
alkisgtomreyn: I haven't seen /tmp/ being tmpfs by default on debian/ubuntu, while I think it is in some other distributions. Is there a new default somewhere, e.g. in -server, that I"m unaware of?15:23
puffIs "launch bar" the right term for the menu bar at the left edge of the screen?15:25
tomreynalkisg: hmm, i just assumed that's a default because i have that on a (previously release upgraded) 18.04 LTS system, but i may actually have set this up on my own, let me check what a fresh install does.15:25
puffYeah, definitely getting boops from some other app.15:25
BluesKajboops?15:26
TJ-tmpfs isn't the default on /tmp/ - I always have to configure that myself. It was about 10 years ago I think15:27

jwhitmoreHello all, I have an issue with 'agetty' service on Ubuntu 20.04. It looks like a Hardware problem as everything checks out. I have a few devices and one has the issue throwing an error to /var/log/auth.log: "agetty /dev/console not a tty" I did an strace of the getty command and got an error "ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffcb52c1670)        = -1 EIO (Input/output error)"15:38
=== pah is now known as pa
TJ-jwhitmore: what is trying to start agetty on /dev/console?15:40
jwhitmoreThe driver doesn't like the TCGETS request,15:40
jwhitmoreTJ-, systemd I assume as the kernel parameter list in /boot/grub/grub.cfg has console=ttyS0...15:40
TJ-jwhitmore: hmmm, I have devices that do that and haven't see that error15:41
jwhitmoreI have multiple devices that are happy with exactly the same config but one is not happy... I can't see the issue so I'm assuming it's a Hardware issue. I'm only asking in case I've missed something not obvious to me15:43
TJ-jwhitmore: you've got a " systemctl status seria-getty@ttyS0.service " with a failure?15:43
TJ-jwhitmore: and similar for the problem device?15:43
TJ-hhhm, mistype there! serial not seria !15:43
jwhitmoreconsole-getty.service is showing the error15:43
jwhitmoreLike I say looks like the driver isn't happy with I/O request to TCGETS to get the serial port details15:45
jwhitmoreBut during boot syslog has "Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports IRQ sharing enabled15:46
TJ-jwhitmore: you could edit the console-getty.service and try removing the TTYReset=yes15:46
TJ-jwhitmore: as in "systemctl edit console-getty.service"15:47
jwhitmoreTJ-, Cheers I'll try that. And thanks for the "as in" suggestion that wasn't what I was going to do.15:47
cluelesspersonhow do I refresh the resolv.conf file?15:48
ioriajwhitmore, sy, why grub.cfg has console=ttyS0 ?15:48
cluelesspersonI've updated the dhcp options on the router15:48
cluelesspersonI need the system to regain them?15:48
TJ-ioria: serial port console on headless device15:48
ioriaoh, ok15:49
TJ-e.g. "  root=/dev/mapper/VG_OS-bullseye ro debug systemd.log_level=debug console=ttyS0,115200n8 "15:49
jwhitmoreTJ-, your "as in" systemctl edit console-getty.service gives me a blank file?15:51
tomreynno typo there?15:52
TJ-jwhitmore: yes, you add the entries you need (but it should show some # comments lead-in)15:52
tomreynoh actually that#s normal15:52
oerhekscluelessperson, systemctl restart resolvconf.service15:52
TJ-'edit' usually puts the original file in there, with each line commented out15:52
jwhitmoreso I should just add the line "TTYReset=no" and save that15:53
TJ-jwhitmore: add [Service]  and TTYReset=no  then save15:53
TJ-jwhitmore: it has to have the Section headers for the configs you override15:53
TJ-jwhitmore: when saved systemctl will do an automatic daemon-reload internally, so you just need to restart the service and check its log15:54
alkisgtomreyn: thanks for verifying! :)15:54
TJ-jwhitmore: "systemctl restart console-getty; systemctl status console-getty"15:54
TJ-FYI anyone wanting to know how to set up a headless boot with serial console, with GRUB and Linux accessible: https://termbin.com/9nhz15:55
cluelesspersonoerheks, that doesn't exist15:56
TJ-cluelessperson: you shouldn't be touching /etc/resolv.conf15:57
TJ-cluelessperson: that should be pointing to the systemd stub resolver. Whatever is managing the network should inform systemd-resolved of any changes15:58
cluelesspersonTJ-, "I've updated the dhcp options on the router and I need the local system to update them"15:58
TJ-cluelessperson: is it a Desktop (NetworkManager) or server (systemd-networkd) install ?15:58
TJ-cluelessperson: I saw that, so you need to tell the local network management tool to redo the lease15:59
cluelesspersonDesktop15:59
jwhitmoreTJ-, :( no joy still have the same error16:00
TJ-cluelessperson: if it is NetworkManager, then "nmcli con" to list the links, then "nmcli con down <id>" and "nmcli con up <id>"16:01
TJ-jwhitmore: hmmm! what is the device behind /dev/console for that?16:01
jwhitmorewell /proc/consoles ttySO -W- (EC p a) 4:64 and tty0 -W- (E p) 4:116:02
jwhitmoreso I assume ttyS0 is the default that /dev/console is using16:03
LordDoskiashello, i have a taichi x570 mobo and the usb type-c port on the rear panel doesn't seem to work. The other usb 3.2 type-a port does work16:03
LordDoskiasi'm testing with a cable which i verified works, what steps can i do to try and debug this?16:03
cluelesspersonTJ-, do you by chance know if there's a method to simply renew the lease without downing the entire connection?16:04
jwhitmoreand I assume the 4:64 is the 8250/16550 driver16:04
TJ-cluelessperson: I don't /think/ NM has a way, "nmcli con reload" only reloads the local configuration file. Have a look in "man nmcli" at the nmcli connection ... options16:04
jwhitmoreTJ-, Thanks a million for your help. Like I say this works on other Hardware so I'm assuming this is bad hardware and move on. Can't think of another reason why this unit be different16:05
TJ-jwhitmore: could this be beause another getty already has it exclusively?16:05
tomreynLordDoskias: lsusb to check which root hubs there are, and when you have a device connected, whether it's listed there. but this can also be just a hardware question - it sounds like one. join #hardware for those16:05
jwhitmoreTJ-, yes that's possible as systemd starts getty for each serial port16:06
LordDoskiastomreyn, the usb hub is there, i have 2 ports on it - type c and type a, type a seems to work - testing with an usb device, type c2 doesn't though16:06
tomreynLordDoskias: "not work" how?16:06
LordDoskiastomreyn, doesn't enumerate the device, doesn't deliver power either16:06
LordDoskiasthe device is my mobile phone :)16:07
tomreynLordDoskias: power supply or firmware issue, i'd guess.16:07
LordDoskiasbut it doesn't enumerate it either?16:07
LordDoskiasand of course this works on my laptop which also has a usb type c port...16:07
LordDoskiasand is running ubuntu 18.0416:07
LordDoskias(my pc runs 20.04 )16:07
TJ-LordDoskias: could it be disabled in firmware ?16:08
LordDoskiasTJ-, that's what i thought, updated my bios, looked around the menus i didn't see anything usb-related apart from boot order stuff which is irrelevant in this case o\16:08
TJ-jwhitmore: I'm intrigued as to why the console-getty.service is starting. On my headless units it isn't - is there something on the kernel command line other than the console=ttyS0 and so on?16:09
LordDoskiascan i derive the number of ports via lsusb -vv ?>16:09
jwhitmoreTJ-, actually doesn't look like it the services getty@ttyS0 is masked as is gett@ttyS6 service16:09
TJ-LordDoskias: there may be some clue in the kernel log.16:10
jwhitmoreboot kernel parameter line is - /vmlinuz-5.4.0-47-lowlatency root=/dev/mapper/vgdata-lvroot ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 rootdelay=5  ipv6.disable=116:13
jwhitmoreTJ-, my understanding was that if the kernel parameter list contains console then systemd auto starts the service to manage it16:14
TJ-jwhitmore: didn't you say that system is headless?16:14
jwhitmoreSorry I never said but yes this is headless16:15
TJ-jwhitmore: I'm comparing it against my own headless routers that also use serial console16:15
TJ-jwhitmore: then why the "console=tty0" ? there is no tty016:15
tomreynLordDoskias: do you have the 8-pin 12V power connector connected?16:15
TJ-jwhitmore: take a look at my config:  https://termbin.com/9nhz16:15
jwhitmoreyou can have two the second one is the default but I think kprintf will go to both16:16
LordDoskiastomreyn, i would have to open the case to see, but i'm sure i do because my videocard is somewhat power hungrey16:16
TJ-jwhitmore: but my point is there is no hardare device to provide /dev/tty0 is there?16:16
LordDoskiasthe thing is the usb a port works, and it's on the same root hub16:16
LordDoskiasthis leads me to believe the hub itself works ...16:17
jwhitmoreTJ-, Those two console commands are working on other units. Hold on I look at your config16:17
LordDoskiasi'm beginning to the thing the usb type c port is fucked i.e faulty solder ...16:17
LordDoskiashuhz16:17
TJ-jwhitmore: OK ... this area always makes me feel a bit fuzzy in the head! but I'm trying to spot obvious issues.16:17
TJ-jwhitmore: have you closely inspected the system boot log ("journalctl -b") for clues?16:18
jwhitmoreI'll go through it again thanks a million for your help again. I'll go through the logs with a strong coffee :)16:19
TJ-jwhitmore: I think I'll join you with the coffee!!16:22

ldshHi, it's been some times (happened around the 27 or 28 October I think) now that I can't properly boot, it's hanging before the logging screen. If I tap esc a bit before it hangs, it shows the lines as expected then at some points erase all and just let a _ and hangs again. I can go to command line through recovery mode, or even boot if I take an older kernel version (5.13.0-19, what is strange is that 5.13.0-20 worked at some time, but16:33
ldshnot any-more, and new update to 5.13.0-21 doesn't solve). I use Nvidia drivers. Does someone knows of any similar issue?16:33
tomreynldsh: how did you install nvidia drivers?16:42

ldshtomreyn, Update manager, extra drivers (sorry, not sure how they translate in english), when I open from kernel 5.13.0-19, it shows metapackage driver nvidia-driver-47016:44
Guest11hello16:45
tomreynldsh: okay, i guess that should have worked then, so it's probably a bug16:46
javaJakeI recently installed Ubuntu 21.10 with ZFS on a laptop with 8G of RAM. I know ZFS is memory hungry but from what I understand it should be scaling based on available memory. However, I had Firefox open and had some expensive tabs open using about 2G of RAM and saw my swap go to 100% usage and everything chug. When I closed everything I had open, my RAM usage hardly dropped. I'm now wondering if16:47
javaJakeUbuntu just requires 4-6G of RAM to run or if there's something else I should be looking at?16:47

Slartiba1tMy 21.10 install no longer boots, it just stops and plymouth/login never appears, no error messages(maybe in logs but haven't found any yet). If I boot to root shell and run systemctl status plymouth-start I get 'ConditionKernelCommandLine=splash was not met', can thaqt be solved?18:22

KolusionHi all. I'm using a router in Wi-Fi extender mode (B) between my computer (A) and my main WAN router (C) which is the gateway for the network. If I connect to B from A, does the connection go A-B-C-B because C is the gateway? Or does it just go A-B?18:35

euouaeHello is there a version of ubuntu that I can install that does not have a graphical installation?18:55
euouaeI'm trying to install ubuntu on a old macOS with 4GB ram and intel i3, but only lubuntu boots and only after ~30 mins18:56
euouaeI'm assuming that it works much better after installation but usb's simply don't boot! No idea why18:56
tarzeaueuouae: you can use debootstrap?18:59
tarzeaui have a rudimentary documentation that might be helpful: http://www.aiei.ch/gnustep/install.txt18:59
euouaetarzeau what is debootstrap?19:00
alkisgAfter you boot lubuntu after 30 minutes, run `dmesg` and check what's wrong, in order to avoid it and make things fast...19:01
tarzeauhttps://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap19:01
euouaetarzeau why should I use that? Do you want me to debootstrap on the macos?19:02
tarzeaueuouae: no you can debootstrap ubuntu or whatever debian based thing you want, you just need to boot any linux with the tool and get network to work19:02
euouaeSo you're saying that I could install any basic linux distro and then debootstrap?19:03
=== genii-core is now known as genii
euouaealkisg Do you have a suspicion of what it could be?19:05
tarzeaueuouae: no, debootstrap is the installing part19:05
euouaetarzeau I don't understand what you're saying, I have a macOS right now19:06
alkisgeuouae: no, it can be any number of issues. E.g. unhandled IRQs that may go better with irqpoll19:07
alkisgeuouae: another option would be to remove the disk, put it elsewhere, install there, then move the disk back to your mac19:07
euouaealkisg It's hard to do these things because I'm video chatting a friend and instructing them19:08

Sven_vBdoes focal have some middle ground between chroot and AppArmor profile? I have a config updater program that I want to run in lots of different directories, and it shall only be able to read/write in subdirectories of where I started it, and also read some selected additional directories. as I understand AppArmor, I'd need a separate profile for each project directory in which I want to run the config updater, right?19:52

SlartibartHow do I set the splash flag(switch?) so that 'ConditionKernelCommandLine=splash was not set' goes away?22:06
SlartibartI tried editing things in grub, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference at all..22:08
TJ-Slartibart: that messages comes from one or more of the plymouth services (plymouth is the start-up splash screen handler)22:09
TJ-Slartibart: what does "cat /proc/cmdline" show? does it have "splash" ?22:10
SlartibartTJ-: Exactly. It's shown when I run systemctl status plymouth-starat22:10
SlartibartChecking22:10
SlartibartTJ-: No, it doesn't22:10
TJ-Slartibart: aha! so now check if the GRUB config has it: "grep -n splash /etc/default/grub{,.d/*} "22:11
TJ-Slartibart: you'd expect to see it in a line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT22:11
SlartibartTJ-: /etc/default/grub has it: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="initctl_debug no_console_suspend acpi_osi= acpi_backlight=native RESUME=UUID=dbbe5783-b735-495f-8321-b4e06ad5a0ec splash"22:15
Slartibart..and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX22:15
SlartibartI added splash at the end there22:16
TJ-Slartibart: OK, so that should be added to /boot/grub/grub.cfg when "sudo update-grub" is executed. Check if it is there right now with "sudo grep -n splash /boot/grub/grub.cfg"22:16
SlartibartAh. *shrinks* I think I forgot about updating. But I'll check to be sure.22:17
SlartibartWell, look at that :). Maybe a bit too good, now splash appears twice in some lines in grub.cfg22:19
SlartibartIs it ok or should I fix that ?22:19
Slartibarttias, perhaps?22:20
TJ-Slartibart: that is because you've put it on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX as well as GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT22:21
SlartibartYeah, I guessed that :). But which one should be removed?22:21
TJ-Slartibart: the 1st is combined with the 2nd for 'default' entries, but only GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX is used for recovery boot entries22:22
TJ-Slartibart: usually it should only be in the DEFAULT entry22:22
TJ-you don't want a splash screen getting in the way of a recovery boot22:22
SlartibartTJ-: Good point. Interesting, now boot splash (that I thought belonged to bios?? The one with the logo of the computer manufacturer) remains during boot, that hasn't happened before. Would that be because of quiet option in grub? It still *seems* to be stopping for something, but since I didn't see any boot text I'm not certain. No login screen appeared, but plymouth-start has status "Active (exited)"22:34
Slartibartwhich is better than before.. Looking into removing quiet (from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, that's the last item in it)22:34
TJ-Slartibart: unless GRUB does a mode-change the mobo's splash can remain; on most Ubuntu installs GRUB's menu is set to hidden so GRUB doesn't try to draw anything22:35
TJ-Slartibart: but then I'd expect plymouth splash to take over once the initialramfs starts22:36
TJ-'quiet' controls the kernel log level22:36
TJ-the opposite is "debug"22:36
SlartibartCould it be useful to enable debug for now, to try and solve this? Removing quiet didn't bring back the text but instead an odd text about UEFI secure boot was shown, I've never seen it before.22:38
TJ-Slartibart: what is the issue now? you want the Ubuntu splash screen but aren't seeing it/22:41
pycuriousCan anyone explain me line 38 to 61 here on focal : https://github.com/eilandert/dockerized/blob/master/base/Dockerfile-focal ?22:43
SlartibartTJ-: I'd very much like the login screen. Currently Ubuntu never leaves text mode, and on this computer it used to do that.. The mobo splash does disappear now, but the 'OK this&that' lines haven' returned. Now I get 'EFI stub: UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.'. Maybe I should check bios settings??22:44
TJ-Slartibart: did you change the mode in /etc/default/grub ?22:45
TJ-pycurious: yes - it's all about the "usrmerge" program (where the previously stand alone /bin/ and /sbin/ directories are now all under /usr/ --- and Debian has also now merged those as well so those comments are out of date22:46
pycuriousTJ-: is there a reason to have those lines ? Or can i get rid of it? Or perhaps i should read more about "usrmerge"?22:47
SlartibartTJ-: I edited it so that there was just one splash. I tried changing quiet to debug, but it didn't show anything extra so I guess that's for the logs. Changed back from debug to quiet now, the mobo splash is back, the drive led flashes for a short while and then it stops doing so, the mobo splash is still there. Alt+F2 gives me a terminal.22:48
SlartibartWee! I disabled Secure boot in BIOS. Success! I have no idea how Secure boot was enabled a few days ago when this started though.22:53
SlartibartOK lines while booting still not back though, that's odd..22:54
SlartibartDoesn't plymouth(?) work with secure boot? ..or perhaps something before plymouth borked?22:56
jeremy31Slartibart: The splash screen should work in any config23:02
jeremy31I don't see it for very long running an SSD23:03
Slartibartjeremy31: Yeah, that's what I thought. So I guess something before plymouth in the boot sequence got stuck because of that Secure boot. I don't know what is was though.23:04
Slartibartjeremy31: I can imagine that ;)23:04
jeremy31Slartibart: Secure Boot only gets involved if you try to use out of kernel drivers23:12
dainierholas23:12
Slartibartjeremy31: Still weird though, I don't know what that driver was then, I tried booting without any devices connected to the computer. But I guess Secure boot was "force enabled" then, since it was set to Enabled(not "Auto" or anything) in BIOS?23:15
SlartibartTJ-: Thanks a lot for helping :).23:25
