[01:12] how necessary is it for me to start the systemd-homed service? [01:30] hey. ive been using zenity to create GUI windows via a bash script on my Ubuntu installation. sometimes i want to do some more complex stuff that isnt possible so i found 'yad' (branch of zenity). The thing is that i dont want to use yad because it has to be installed and i believe zenity was pre-installed in Ubuntu. Buuut.. im considering it now and im asking: what type of GUI building would you use? right now im googling python3 gui windows. but since i [01:30] alreadu have a bash script its preffered to keep it there [01:46] Hi, is it possible to set the grub2 background depending on the computer's resolution? I set up a PXE server, and I would like to control the background, so it doesn't look stretched [01:52] FurretUber: One can set the grub resolution - see the hint in the /etc/default/grub file. [02:00] While it's possible, the problem is that if it's set, for example, 640x480 and the monitor is widescreen, then the picture will be stretched. Not like it has to be perfect, but if it's possible, it would look better :) [02:34] hi, im using ubuntu server 20.04, how can i limit my terminal colors to ones that are easier on my eyes? [02:38] snake: What terminal ' echo $TERM ' - xterm has a color picker in preferences. [02:40] Bashing-om, it just says "linux" [02:41] its not like a windowed terminal, just the regular ubuntu server terminal [02:41] the blue color is so dark it basically looks black [02:50] snake: Do not know but ---- ' dircolors --print-database ' give a hint for the way forward ? [02:50] this looks like its specifically for the `ls` program, is that right? [02:51] maybe the terminal for linux just offers generic colors with a wide range, and only the application can choose to not use stupid low-contrasting color combinations [02:51] meaning i need to configure each program indivudally to use good colors [02:52] It depends on the application. [02:52] snake: Also, as mentioned, which terminal emulator you use. [02:53] that stinks :( [02:53] jhutchins, none i think [02:53] i dont have any gui [02:53] im on ubuntu SERVER for the third time [02:53] snake: You want Microsoft where one company controls how everything works? [02:53] what? [02:53] snake: It's the historic diversity of Linux, Unix, and Open Source software. [02:54] i just want to be able to read my terminal easily [02:54] The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. [02:54] that's ironic lol [02:54] snake: So learn a little about what terminals are available, and what you can control in them. [02:55] can i just disable colors entirely [02:55] snake: Some people put a lot of time and effort into it. Other people just accept the defaults and get on with what they were doing. [02:55] snake: Depends on the terminal. Yes it's possible. [02:55] how? [02:55] snake: Depends on the terminal. [02:56] echo $term returns "linux" [02:56] snake: There is no universal answer. [02:56] that's fine, what's the specific answer then? [02:56] jhutchins, don't have a cow dude [02:56] you're acting all defensive [02:56] snake: The terminal emulation programs and termcap databases emulate the many different terminals that were built to interface with different computers. [02:57] how can i determine which terminal im using? [02:57] im just using ubuntu server so it should be the default [02:57] snake: GUI? [02:57] jhutchins, you're merely drowning out my question and thoughts by hitting enter frequently [02:58] if you dont have a desktop installed, you're using TTY [02:58] enigma9o7[m], thankyou [02:58] im using TTY then [02:58] and your shell defines the colors [02:58] most likely bash [02:58] enigma9o7[m]: Not termcap? [02:59] enigma9o7[m], meaning? [02:59] (i mean yes, i am using bash of course... that's what ubuntu server 20.04 comes with) [02:59] oh i dunno [03:00] that's fine if you don't know. i guess getting some kind of response is better than silence (tho silence is better than starting an empty argument for no good reason) [03:00] * snake looks at jhutchins [03:02] snake: https://opensource.com/article/19/9/linux-terminal-colors#:~:text=You%20can%20add%20color%20to,black%20screen%20is%20wholly%20optional. [03:03] https://www.faqforge.com/linux/change-terminal-color-theme-in-linux/ [03:04] https://linuxhint.com/ubuntu_terminal_color_scheme/#:~:text=Changing%20the%20terminal%20color%20scheme,the%20built%2Din%20color%20schemes. [03:07] 3rd article is entirely irrelevant. moving on to the others next. [03:07] 2nd article is irrelevant too [03:08] i told you im in tty [03:10] is this really ok to just export the term variable? [03:10] that seems a bit odd [03:16] jhutchins, ngl sometimes i do think its nice when there are devs to create fully featured, complete software for users, like with microsoft [03:16] i wonder if microsoft will buy ubuntu and fix it up [03:16] they could make one of the best distros (ubuntu) into an even better one [03:16] kinda like how they fixed up minecraft [03:18] i tried a bunch of the term variables my system listed and they all looked the same [03:18] wonder if i have to reboot each time i change a color LOL [03:22] WARNING: terminal is not fully functional [03:23] jhutchins, congratulations dumb ass [03:23] can't you just stay quiet if you don't know what to do? [03:29] wow. [03:30] good. [03:43] you can use this for future reference: https://askubuntu.com/a/153493 [03:45] i rather like this one myself - [03:45] for i in {0..255}; do print -Pn "%K{$i} %k%F{$i}${(l:3::0:)i}%f " ${${(M)$((i%6)):#3}:+$'\n'}; done [03:45] ednash, what is that supposed to do [03:45] one liner to print all colors [03:45] * snake rolls eyes [03:46] are you even paying attention xD [03:46] i don't really care about your problem snake [03:46] why would anyone care? [03:46] ednash, sure looks like you dont lol [03:46] well one person did [03:46] and that person was named dumbass apparently [03:46] anyway [03:46] and got trashed for it, yes [03:47] i rather like that one liner myself :) [03:47] because the linux community has a real toxicity issue [03:47] and you are it [03:47] it's like you're committed to misunderstanding people [03:47] ednash, i dont want to print all rgb colors, i want to change the appearance of text on my screen [03:47] i also found this site you guys could share if anyone has a similar problem: https://terminal.sexy/ [03:47] go google search or something [03:47] it's an easy problem to solve [03:48] thne you can export to the desired format easily [03:48] that one liner though [03:48] ednash, its MUCH easier than above users were letting on [03:48] they just wanted to debate [03:48] gold [03:49] All I know, is that if I ever see you asking for help anywhere, I am not interested in providing it. [03:50] rob0, nobody is entitled to help or to an answer [03:50] that's fine by me [03:50] GIGO [03:51] it only works on zsh [03:52] if someone comes in with a problem, it is preferrable to stay silent than to (OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE) start asking them if they like microsoft, and maybe they should just use windows [03:52] and then send them three articles that miss the point entirely of what the issue is [03:52] I'm sure if there were ops available, you'd be banned. [03:52] zsh is one of those things i didn't know i needed until i just chanced upon it [03:52] support receives a problem and provides a solutoion, otherwise just say you can't help, or say nothing, its fine [03:53] hey folks, I am using 20.04, the about section says I am using X11 for the windowing system, just wondering, are you aware of any plans to switch to wayland? not a fan of wayland but that seems to be the new flavor [03:53] the information i came back and shared is THE solution to what i was asking [03:54] rob0, yeah that's understandable, i am just so tired of taking crap from people that would rather hit enter 100 times to drown out my questions and responses [03:54] so i lashed out, but it was against the CoC because i was mean [03:54] also, is there a way to make terminal to copy the selected section automatically to the clipboard w/o having to type shift+ctrl-C? [03:55] esv, 21.10 uses wayland [03:55] kubuntu has a wayland option too but i didnt try it [03:56] k, thnx [03:56] that's pretty robust that you can switch to x11 or wayland at runtime [03:56] impressive software development going on there [03:56] yeah, but barrier does not seem to work well with wayland [03:58] yeah idk what that even is, sorry bud [03:58] in any case you can use x11 for the time being. i dont think its deprecated or anything === wolfdale83 is now known as wolfdale8 === kerfluffy_ is now known as kerfluffy [07:07] https://cryptobug.wordpress.com/2022/04/03/irc-of-the-world-host-at-internic/ .

How do I change users and group permission to external drives? [11:31] Guest98: what filesystem does your external drive have? [11:31] ext4 [11:32] then you have to change permissions like every other drive or directory [11:32] change permissions with chmod, or ownership with chown [11:33] isn't there a way like adding the user to a proper group? [11:33] sure [11:33] thats groupadd [11:34] to make a new groeup [11:34] or "usermod -a -G yourgroup youruser" [11:34] but thats really basic commands you should find online [11:34] like https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-user-to-a-group-or-second-group-on-linux/ [11:34] and how do I change the automount config to that group? [11:35] or where is the location of that file [11:35] if the filesystem has those permissions you dont have to change anything in your automount [11:38] ok, thanks [12:15] how do I find out which MSGBUFSIZE the ubuntu kernel is compiled with? [12:36] Hi all [12:37] Apachez: isn't it /proc/sys/kernel/msgmax ? [12:41] llutz: nope [12:41] llutz: seems to be the log_buf variables found in /boot/config-xxx [12:41] looks like ubuntu defaults to 256k bytes of dmesg === st13g is now known as crisdel [12:53] hello guys. I'm having some issues trying to understand this and how yo disable it. according to my hosting "The server seems to have a sleep mode option enabled, please disable this option to prevent the server from stopping the ping", but I don't remember enabling anything like that. [12:53] (that was translated from French to English) [12:54] i dont think a default ubuntu server installation has any aggressive power management enabled [12:55] you can check these services: https://linux-tips.us/how-to-disable-sleep-and-hibernation-on-ubuntu-server/ [12:56] I'll give it a try, thanks! [12:59] PeGaSuS: so you've got dedicated hosting and you personally oversaw the installation of the Ubuntu 'Server' edition in particular? [13:00] wow, hi everyone [13:01] I mean, I din't oversaw the install [13:02] hi usa [13:02] PeGaSuS: okay... but... you asked someone to install the Ubuntu 'Server' edition in particular? [13:02] hi matsaman. I hope you're having a nice Sunday [13:02] mine just started [13:03] I found a theoretical fix for my POS gas water heater, so in a week or so after I've tried it, I'll know whether it's useful [13:03] so... I guess I should be positive [13:03] _electric_ water heaters, folks. Cheaper, safer, easier. Use'm [13:03] it's a hosting company (Kimsufi, in this case). I just chose what ubuntu version to install and then it's all automated [13:03] PeGaSuS: dude [13:03] PeGaSuS: and which version did you choose? [13:04] haha, great! definitely, life itself is a miracle [13:04] PeGaSuS: nevermind you should probably just check by running: cat /etc/*version* /etc/*release* [13:04] usa: you make a good point [13:04] I've choosen 20.04 LTS [13:04] PeGaSuS: cat /etc/*version* /etc/*release* [13:05] it was been running fine until I've rebooted it today. I'm wondering if I've messed up somewhere when installing something [13:05] So almost 1000 people in this irc chatroom in 2022? This is incredible. I thought irc days were overs. Viva la Linux [13:06] output of `cat /etc/*version* /etc/*release*`: https://pastebin.pixelizez.com/view/f61ac576 [13:10] hey, ive been using zenity to create some GUI dialogs. right now im trying to build a list where i can re-order the items. this doesnt seem possible. ive also tried yad (zenity's bigger brother/branch). any suggestions would be nice. but its probably to specific [13:28] DR-007, try to use checkboxes to mark items and then forward to new screen with changed view setting if i recall correct [13:31] thelounge5469, thanks. i dont see how a checkbox makes the next screen know if to make it go up or down though. the "stupid" thing is that ive got it all set up. and the save button gives the column value but the extra-button="Up" just returns the value "Up" instead of the column value [13:33] <079AAAL91> Hi! When will Ubuntu Masturbating Monkey be released? [13:33] Dr-007; i am speaking create separate view in script for each of the selected option on checkbox, like checkbox 3+4+5, new script contains only 3+4+5 [13:34] yeah, thats not what i need / want. i think ive found something in yad tho [13:34] If ID [13:34] have a non-numeric value it treats like a command and click on such button doesn't close the dialog. [13:35] so maybe i can --listen for a file that gets modified or something [13:36] in zenity i always used separate screen for each new option display, never did extra commands for UI [13:36] <079AAAL91> Hi! When will Ubuntu Masturbating Monkey be released? [13:37] Yesterday ? [13:37] 079AAAL91: dude [13:37] you don't have _anything_ better to do? =P [13:37] !ops | 079AAAL91 up to no good [13:37] 079AAAL91 up to no good: Help! Channel emergency!

[13:42] last function: https://dpaste.com/358NHVVP5 [13:43] checking === blb1716827 is now known as ako [13:45] --button="Move Up":"touch /tmp/frisotest" [13:45] makes that file [13:46] so now im going to try and see if it pipes any stuff trough, and hopefully the selected column [13:46] so this is basicly for making menu like option ? [13:47] basicly, yeah [13:47] i want to be able to move a partition up and down [13:48] and add one (but this can happen in another GUI window) [13:48] i understand [13:48] but as i tell you, i used for each situation separate screen option [13:48] so main screen have 4 options [13:48] you chose 3+4 [13:49] create button to lead to new script which shows only 3.4 in view [13:49] understand [13:49] ? [13:49] yeah, but how do you make it go up or down..? [13:49] with that setup [13:49] you dont [13:49] you show check selected options only on screen 2 [13:50] right [13:50] you understand ? [13:51] screen 1 = 4 options > select checkbox 3+4 , button next > new script view only display only 3+4 ... [13:53] yes, i understand but its very impractical [13:53] i know :) [13:54] the way you want to do it i do not think zenity can do it , please prove me wrong ;) [14:30] Hello? [14:31] hi [14:37] I am having this strange problem with Firefox and Thunderbird on Ubuntu. The Application Font of both is not the same as the desktop. Both program use a strange Font(I do not know wich one is) that no one program of my desktop are using. [14:38] ANY TIPS FOR ME? [14:42] And this is nothing about web pages. They load the pages with the right Fonts. [14:42] I am talking about the Fonts of applications itself. [14:54] Hey all. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I disabled IPv4 from the network settings in the top right hand corner and now IPv6 isn't working and I get the message activation of network failed. Anyone know whats up? [14:55] Kolusion: you are on a network setup that has ipv6 dhcp leasing? [14:55] I am using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox. I would think VirtualBox would have DHCP leading for IPv6 by default like it does IPv4. But maybe it doesn't, I will check out its manual now. Great question mate! [15:14] Sorry jushur I got distracted by a girl. Checking now... [15:15] Kolusion: don't worry, this is IRC. [15:15] Delays are expected :) [15:19] Ok, I can confirm VirtualBox's DHCP server supports IPv6 leases. [15:20] Kolusion: your host OS has IPv6 enabled? [15:21] Yes, I am able to connect to IPv6 servers from the host. [15:22] Everything is stock so I am really confused. [15:24] IPv6 method is 'Automatic' from Network Manager. [15:25] thelounge5469, i think this might work: { echo "friso"; sleep 2; echo "awesome"; sleep 2; echo -e '\f'; echo "new"; } | yad --height=300 --list --listen --column test 4 5 6 [15:27] I am going to restart the host. VirtualBox can be unreliable at times when it comes to networking. [15:32] anyone know why git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-disco.git has gone? [15:35] specifically no, but generally it has been EOL for over two years [15:35] Still not working [15:36] matsaman: i thought the code would stay there though. [15:36] is it at ubuntu-stable/ubuntu-stable-disco.git instead? [15:38] https://i.ibb.co/2N6WM1t/Untitled.png [15:38] i'll check out the focal code instead [15:39] Kolusion: https://askubuntu.com/a/1303065/1151311 [15:41] lefty I think you are onto it [15:41] What is strange though, NAT works fine for IPv4 but there is nothing in that menu. [15:43] I am doing what you showed me now..... [15:48] leftyfb I am going to restart my computer and then try it. If you don't see me again it means it works, so I'm saying thanks now. [15:48] So thanks [15:49] aradesh: wasn't at ubuntu-stable ? [15:51] matsaman: maybe it's moved there but previously i checked out ubuntu-disco.git [15:52] I believe you [15:52] maybe it's just moved [15:52] if you have an old copy, you should be able to tell from the git log whether it's likely the "same" [15:54] aradesh: the more important question is why do you care about a repo for an EOL and unsupported release and kernel? [15:58] leftyfb: no particular reason. i was just using it to study the repo, and i wanted to update it. so probably for the best now i've checked out focal [15:59] was just using it to learn about how the kernel works [16:02] ubuntu-disco.git belonged to 19.04 disco dingo? [16:06] aradesh: ah =) [16:09] leftyfb unfortunately it didn't work out [16:09] I did exactly as it said. [16:35] question. i want each button to be able to call a script supplying the selected list option in this GUI yad bash script: https://dpaste.com/AEBWLMPWJ it'll show you your partitions on sda1. my goal is to make the items moveable via the up / down buttons. [16:35] Dr-007: did you try asking in #bash? [16:36] it's pending [16:36] but yad is like zenity [16:36] and zenity is kinda ubuntu specific (i believe) [16:36] so that's why i'm also asking inhere [16:37] Dr-007: the functionality doesn't exist in yad or zenity so you need to script it with bash, or some other language like python [16:37] it's driving me nuts. ive been also exploring other GUI options. (preferrable pre-installed linux stuff like zenity) [16:37] zenity is not preinstalled [16:38] leftyfb, yeah thats what im walking into each time. it seems impossible. so thats why i started asking around. python, i believe it is preinstalled in Ubuntu (right @ oerheks?) [16:38] and. what GUI tool should i use then? [16:39] or if i had to rebase my entire bash / zenity script to something else what would you recommend? [16:39] given the fact that i'm a noob so i have to google everything === Guest88 is now known as oneplus7proman [16:39] Dr-007: without mentioning buttons, zenity, yad, scripting or code, what exactly is your end goal here? [16:39] so dont say c :P [16:40] Dr-007: put another way, with your perfection application, what is the use case? [16:40] perfection/perfect [16:42] well, the details im showing you now in https://dpaste.com/AEBWLMPWJ are targetted at moving the order of partitions around. i want this because ive been making bootable usb sticks and sometimes i end up with the fdisk warning "partitions are out of order". this can be fixed via sfdisk -r i believe but .. well, thats my end goal [16:42] Dr-007: so you want a tool to move partitions on flash drives around? [16:43] no i want a GUI environment where i can list stuff then change the order of the items in that list. something like zenity [16:43] Dr-007: why not focus on building them correctly to begin with? If the partitions are wrong, rebuild it correctly. You do understand that usb flash drives have a limited life span of writes and moving partitions around certainly doesn't help that [16:44] Dr-007: python/glade to develop, then it works out of the box in most ubuntu live cds, libraries for that are preinstalled [16:44] leftyfb, yeah that's not answering my questions at all. [16:44] https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/builder.html# [16:44] alkisg, thanks [16:44] It's a GUI, it supports designing forms with drag 'n' drop etc [16:45] Dr-007: your question is specific to your current proposed solution to a problem. I'm suggesting a different solution to the problem [16:45] do you know if python3 is pre-installed? i believe so. but .. i also thought this about zenity [16:46] hi! [16:46] hi [16:47] watching 'how to use irc' === Miles9of9 is now known as Miles8of9 [16:49] leftyfb, yes but then sfdisk -r, --reorder fix partitions order (by start offset) would fix my problem magically. but without the power of me adding stuff in the blank spaces if i delete a partition. fdisk will created a partition on an earlier sector but assign it a latter /dev/sdaXX id then give you the "disk out of order" bs. so my GUI tool should prevent this in the first place. these bootable USB's ive been making ive been collecting all the mount [16:49] stuff under scripts. this part ive arrived on and we're talking about now is the part where you gain some control over how and what partition is created. dont mind my lifespan of the USB.

[19:06] backthen1: what do you need repaired? [19:07] for boot problems you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [19:18] ravage: the page linked has 500 error [19:20] ravage: My problem is when I boot there is a network name resolution error of some sort, and can't finish booting. Previously I installed an nVidia driver maybe that's the cause [19:21] Now I want to try undo what I did, or have Ubuntu repair the system to a factory default state without erasing my files [19:22] those damn Nvidia drivers break everything lol [19:23] do you have an exact error message? name resolution should not prevent your system from booting === crucifyy is now known as Crucifyy [19:26] ravage: same error as https://www.linux.org/threads/failed-to-start-network-name-resolution.30467/ [19:28] are you able to switch to another console at that point? [19:28] like ctrl-alt-f3 [19:34] that brings me to a console that prints a dozen lines with 'audit', 'profile load'. Still proceeding whatever its doing currently [19:35] do you get a login at any console when you press enter? ctrl-alt-f4 and so on [19:41] as with ctrl atl f3, screen clears with only cursor on upper left. No response with enter, esc. [19:45] can you boot in rescue mode from the grub menu? [19:45] should be able to [19:46] yes I can get in there [19:46] ok. then we could try to disable that service for now and maybe even remove your nvidia driver [19:47] . [19:48] ok at the 'grub>' prompt [19:48] you dont have to go that far [19:49] when you see the menu choose "Advanced options for Ubuntu" [19:50] and then you should have a recovery boot option with your current kernel version [19:50] https://i.stack.imgur.com/01e8n.png [19:51] https://i.stack.imgur.com/UP5j7.png [19:52] if this happened after installing nvidia drivers, is this an UEFI system? disable secureboot.. [19:52] im not sure what the actual error is. did not get a screenshot of his actual screen [19:53] he says that systend-resolved prevents the boot process to continue [19:53] and no login prompt [19:53] and, make sure you boot in xorg, not a wayland session [19:54] i believe this is nvidia causing issues [19:54] he does not get that far [19:57] get actual error could help ? [19:58] he posted an example..

It checks for 8 mins and then eventually fails, and then it retries === control is now known as Guest823 [20:13] fsckd - check disk [20:14] ctrl-c does not work ? [20:14] backthen1 ^^^ [20:14] if resolvd is your problem you can add "systemd.mask=systemd-resolved.service to your kernel parameters in grub [20:15] that should prevent the service from being started at all [20:15] ravage , look pic of error [20:15] its fsckd error [20:15] that is not his actual screen [20:15] oh , sry ok [20:15] he found that on the internet [20:15] lol [20:15] we still have no actual screenshot of his error [20:16] got it === mjacqmin is now known as mjacqmin_ === mjacqmin_ is now known as mjacqmin [20:20] photo https://pasteall.org/media/a/5/a556c23c15c7f86b51bc6b1e4a7ac9e5.jpg [20:20] ok thats a totally different service [20:21] the other error from other service also occurred before [20:22] add "systemd.mask=systemd-timesyncd.service" to your kernel parameters [20:22] press "e" when you see the Ubuntu grub selection [20:23] then add the parameter and press (i think) its F10 to boot with this parameter [20:23] its not permanent [20:23] the key to boot is show at the bottom of the screen [20:24] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [20:25] "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" [20:31] I see quite a few blocks of config texts, each enclosed by a {} block. Should I add the systemd line to the end of the first {} block? [20:32] the first block is not recovery and seems to have the highest version # === Guest5 is now known as herackle [20:46] do you see anything wrong in this command? Im trying to recursively convert wma to flac: find -name '*.wma' -print0 | parallel -0 ffmpeg -i {} {.}.flac. CLI returns: parallel: invalid option -- '0' === dstein64- is now known as dstein64 [22:27] I'm preparing to move my OS and data to a new system. My disk is set up with LVM and encryption, per the ubuntu defaults. What would be the best way for me to copy everything to my new disk without rebooting into clonezilla or such? [22:28] I've already got the new disk connected btw. === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [22:41] I'm hoping someone can help me understand what is wrong with my setup. I have a new computer with an NVMe SSD as my primary drive and I wish to build Ubuntu on it with the ZFS filesystem. I am able to set it up but upon first boot, it always ends with a failed boot in "Emergency mode" or something to that effect and I can go no further. [22:44] As an alternative, I tried following the instructions from OpenZFS about installing Debian 11 Bullseye root on ZFS and also failing on boot. On the Debian side, it ends up pausing with "(intramfs)" on the screen. I'm not sure how to get beyond that. I really want ZFS as the filesystem to make incremental snapshots as needed. [22:45] RonRN18: ZFS is totally overkill for snapshots. the default ubuntu installs to LVM which supports snapshots [22:46] RonRN18: as for why your configuration doesn't work, this page says, "currently only MAAS allows ZFS to be installed as a root filesystem. [22:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/ZFS [22:56] Prior to trying to build this machine on a "bare-metal" machine, I made a test-run using a VM on XCP-ng. In my VM, I gave the VM five "hard drives". I installed Ubuntu 22.04 using ZFS and making the first drive a single vdev. It installed flawlessly. I then made the other drives function as a raidz pool. All went exactly as I expected it to. With this success on a VM, I figured it would be [22:56] easy to do on a bare-metal machine and it has been nothing but failures. [23:00] RonRN18: Nothing but failures!? Have you considered asking for a refund on your ubuntu OS?
