| andypandy | Hello. I am trying to upgrade my EOL Ubuntu Server according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades but when I attempt to run the ./impish upgrade script I get errors messages. | 11:11 |
|---|---|---|
| andypandy | Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused | 11:11 |
| andypandy | (impish:4244): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 13:09:11.291: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed | 11:11 |
| tomreyn | --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText (as suggested in #ubuntu) seems to have helped | 11:45 |

| aaal | how to re-install / recover (default) grub? | 13:29 |
| aaal | is it apt install grub-common or grub2-common? | 13:29 |
| tomreyn | aaal: depends on how you're booting / which architecture. is this amd64 with uefi booting? | 13:33 |
| tomreyn | which ubuntu release? | 13:33 |
| aaal | amd64 | 13:34 |
| aaal | not sure if uefi, it's kvm | 13:34 |
| tomreyn | echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS | 13:34 |
| aaal | release is 1804 or 2004 | 13:34 |
| tomreyn | lsb_release -ds | 13:34 |
| tomreyn | if you'll run these commands you'll have the exact answers | 13:35 |
| aaal | bios | 13:35 |
| aaal | 1804 | 13:35 |
| tomreyn | just a notice: free support for 18.04 will end mid last year | 13:36 |
| aaal | im not sure but the culpit may be me installing ubuntu-server which replaced grub with grub-ec2 and then maybe some error, yes i will jump to 2204 | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | is this an ec2 instance then? | 13:37 |
| aaal | it's not aws so no? | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | okay, i was just wondering because you mentioned grub-ec2 | 13:38 |
| aaal | yes, it was my mistake doing any of it | 13:39 |
| aaal | i tried to install grub2-common but got some error /dev missing (im in chroot | 13:39 |
| tomreyn | i think it'll be best to purge all grub* packages and install grub-pc | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | then grub-install to the boot disk | 13:41 |
| aaal | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) | 13:47 |
| aaal | but it should be | 13:47 |
| aaal | anyway grub-pc is what i was looking for | 13:48 |
| aaal | nvm about the error | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | aaal: well that's not a good sign if grub can't find the root device | 13:55 |
| aaal | mount -o rbind /dev /mnt/dev etc | 13:56 |
| aaal | there's hope | 13:56 |
| tomreyn | ? is this a chroot? | 13:56 |
| aaal | yes | 13:57 |
| tomreyn | then you probably don't need grub in the first place | 13:59 |
| aaal | i mean i have to chroot to rescue my install | 14:00 |
| aaal | no? | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | oh this system currently won't boot. i wasn't aware of that. | 14:00 |
| aaal | yes i dungoofed | 14:00 |
| aaal | grub install to drive NOT partition yes? | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | yes, grub no longer supports installation to partitions other than a dedicated bios_grub partituon on gpt. | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing | 14:03 |
| aaal | ok done no errors | 14:03 |
| tomreyn | i forgot to tell you to also run update-grub. | 14:04 |
| aaal | ok | 14:04 |
| aaal | https://bpa.st/4IEQ | 14:04 |
| aaal | looks like it should boot yes? | 14:05 |
| aaal | https://bpa.st/VTXQ | 14:06 |
| tomreyn | it doesn't say that it won't | 14:06 |
| aaal | https://bpa.st/2CHA | 14:07 |
| aaal | did update-gr | 14:07 |
| aaal | i think that was it..? | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | if grub.cfg actually refers to these kernels and grub is installed on the bios boot device then is should work | 14:08 |
| aaal | quit chroot but can't umount /dev/ says it's busy | 14:12 |
| aaal | unmounted sys and proc fine | 14:13 |
| aaal | nvm | 14:16 |
