| inexact | I attempted installing xubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso on a Lenovo ideapad 1, installation succeeds, but I can't boot the installed system | 14:37 |
|---|---|---|
| inexact | it goes into a boot loop, shows a black screen, apparently prints "Reset System" and then reboots | 14:37 |
| inexact | the live system (booted from USB stick) works | 14:38 |
| inexact | what are my options? | 14:39 |
| inexact | I've found similar problems online but none with solution | 14:40 |
| KBar | inexact: was it an "erase and install" or "install alongside Windows"? | 14:57 |
| inexact | KBar, erase and install | 14:59 |
| inexact | from the live boot I can see that the installed filesystem exists on the SSD | 15:00 |
| inexact | I think it's a grub problem since grub never shows up when booting from SSD | 15:01 |
| inexact | (that is, when trying to boot from SSD) | 15:01 |
| Maik | grub doesn't show by default | 15:01 |
| KBar | inexact: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 15:01 |
| KBar | install it from within Live session and let it run/repair GRUB | 15:01 |
| KBar | and see what happens | 15:02 |
| inexact | I don't generally have network access from the live boot | 15:02 |
| inexact | let's see | 15:02 |
| KBar | inexact: you can also try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Info | 15:03 |
| KBar | first before proceeding | 15:03 |
| KBar | it will generate text files either locally or online | 15:03 |
| KBar | inexact: is the SSD in good conditions? Can you see and select it from BIOS/UEFI? Try running SMART tests on it from within the Live session. | 15:09 |
| inexact | found a nice way to get network access and installed bootinfoscript, this is RESULTS.txt: https://0x0.st/oHa9.txt | 15:09 |
| inexact | KBar, the laptop is new | 15:09 |
| KBar | KBar: that doesn't say much. The SSD could still be faulty. | 15:09 |
| Maik | secureboot disabled inexact? | 15:10 |
| inexact | Maik, yes | 15:10 |
| inexact | wait a moment | 15:11 |
| inexact | this is a report about the live system... | 15:11 |
| inexact | the SSD is a nvme, and /dev/sda is then USB stick | 15:11 |
| inexact | so the grub info in there is about the USB stick | 15:12 |
| inexact | ok that was confusing, it's a different bootinfo package... | 15:13 |
| inexact | KBar, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/sKCPkXcPMs/ | 15:16 |
| inexact | I can't see this report (asks for login), but I think the status messages in the GUI said at some point that secureboot was enabled | 15:17 |
| KBar | inexact: disable it and let boot-repair reinstall grub-efi | 15:22 |
| inexact | is it actually enabled according to the report? | 15:23 |
| KBar | inexact: yes. | 15:23 |
| inexact | rebooted and got into the bios, it was enabled | 15:24 |
| inexact | that's really annoying because I remember disabling it... | 15:25 |
| inexact | KBar, nothing changed, it still gets into a reboot loop | 15:26 |
| inexact | entering BIOS again shows secure boot is disabled | 15:26 |
| KBar | inexact: did you run boot-repair? | 15:27 |
| inexact | yes | 15:27 |
| inexact | I can run it again and make it upload a new report | 15:29 |
| KBar | inexact: click on Recommended repair | 15:32 |
| inexact | it sure is spending a lot of time in the create summary step | 15:33 |
| inexact | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/kmrrdkJNKD/ | 15:37 |
| inexact | and it works | 15:37 |
| inexact | so secure boot was the entire problem?? | 15:37 |
| inexact | this really pisses me off because it was the first thing I thought about and disabled | 15:38 |
| inexact | oh well at least it's working now | 15:38 |
| inexact | thanks for the help | 15:38 |
| KBar | inexact: yeah, it has a tendency to reenable itself, especially on lenovo devices | 15:39 |

| centHOGG | Hiya. Has anyone else had any difficulties with that latest nvidia driver update and xfwm4? I've started having some slowdowns & freezups come about as of late. Jez curious, tia. | 18:57 |
| cloudcell | hello, I have 4 monitors and I keep losing settings after each restart. How can I fix this? | 23:47 |
| doc | cloudcell: how are you setting your settings? | 23:53 |
| cloudcell | i set my settings using nvidia control panel | 23:54 |
| doc | did you write them out to an xorg config? I had that at one stage, it wouldn't remember them until I did. After that it picked them up on reboots. | 23:55 |
| cloudcell | I actually did write them, but that did not help | 23:55 |
| doc | that's me out of ideas | 23:56 |
| cloudcell | no worries | 23:56 |
| doc | maybe double check that they're getting picked up, the path is right, etc? | 23:56 |
| cloudcell | yeah, maybe they are being written to a wrong path.... let me check... i will also need to restart | 23:57 |
