[10:28] oh this is a fun situation, I can't apt-get upgrade because I have some old linux-image-VERSION-generic packages, they depend on their corresponding linux-modules-VERSION-generic packages which aren't installable; `apt --fix-broken install`'s solution is to uninstall those old linux-image-VERSION-generic packages which is reasonable, but after [10:28] removing linux packages apt wants to run update-grub; update-grub isn't working because it can't find libcrypto.so.1.1, because somehow libcrypto got updated to libcrypto.so.3 without grubcfg_proxy being updated to account for it [10:28] and I can't upgrade grub because I would first have to uninstall the two broken linux-image-VERSION-generic packages [10:29] in order to upgrade grub I have to let apt remove those linux packages, in order to remove those linux packages I need to upgrade grub [10:34] I solved it by adding `exit 0` to the postrm scripts for those two linux image packages, but that was a hairy situation [10:41] welp, seems like there is no update which fixes grubcfg_proxy [19:19] 22.04 is going to be a no-go on my T410, DMAR error issue when booting up and after clicking on the Try Ubuntu button the whole system freezes [19:19] not only the main Ubuntu desktop but other flavors too [19:20] :-( [19:21] maybe your fix too .. Use 'intremap=no_x2apic_optout' to override the BIOS setting. [19:21] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1331090/dmar-firmware-bug-broken-bios [19:21] not sure you want acpi=off too [19:22] not sure if it's even that [19:22] sure you have the latest bios? sudo dmidecode -s bios-version [19:22] weird thing is that other distro's with the same kernel or newer work well [19:23] oerheks: there's no newer BIOS available for this 12 year old machine [19:23] oke [19:29] "intel_iommu=igfx_off" is an other answer? disable igp totally [21:13] Hi, I would like to know if there's a means to revert an update from Jammy Jellyfish to 20.04; anything I might be able to do through firmware settings or BIOS? [21:14] Guest43, the answer in #ubuntu is correct, no downgrade, do a fresh install of 20.04 or the beta 22.04 [21:15] And I suppose that means that I won't be able to recover any files on my drive. [21:15] i think you can, boot a live iso? [21:16] From a USB? [21:16] yes? [21:16] and copy to an other usb device, or 2nd hdd something [21:16] you should have done this before upgrading, imho [21:16] This might be my last resort. It's worth a try. [21:17] I typically backup once every month. But that's on me. [21:17] major upgrades to beta releases with a backup are lame :D [21:17] I was careless. I didn't realize 22.04 was a beta. [21:18] My fuck-up [21:18] you must have used the -d option, development [21:18] the 04 in 22.04 stands for april, the 22 for 2022 [21:19] I blindly followed these instructions here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-to-22-04-lts-jammy-jellyfish [21:19] Lesson learned. [21:19] bad article :-/ [21:19] yep. really bad [21:20] uses all the wrong terms and no warnings [21:21] If booting from a live ISO works to recover my files, that'll make up for it. That's all I can ask for at this point. [21:52] ubuntu jammy is still in alpha; beta freeze 28-march, beta release is 31-march [21:54] i dont think the term we use for the next few days matters for his problem [21:55] no it doesn't (alpha/beta is just a label), but it's also an indication of the product; beta is more generally seen as more stable & it's not yet beta [21:57] there is no upgrade path from 20.04 to beta too. so really does not change anything here [21:57] it was just a bad idea in general [21:57] freeze exceptions/changes are more restricted once it's beta.. not all freezes yet apply - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-schedule/23906 [21:59] QA testing of the upgrade does occur; it's mostly 21.10 -> jammy currently (20.04 to jammy occurs after 22.04.1 is out months from now!) [21:59] you are preaching to the choir here :) [22:00] :)
