| lirodon | My friend is having some issues installing any sort of OS on their laptop (it's an Acer laptop with Insyde H2O UEFI if that matters); it never seems to properly install a bootloader. The partition table on the drive seems to have an EFI partition and a single ext4 partition as specified, but it never actually gives an Ubuntu boot option in the UEFI settings | 04:20 |
|---|---|---|
| lirodon | they had a similar issue installing normal Debian as well | 04:20 |
| lirodon | nm figured it out; wound up being that their UEFI has a weird requirement that you enable secure boot AND manually mark UEFI executables as "trusted" before it will detect them. Yet it booted from the USB just fine | 04:52 |
| Unit193 | Cool that you got it! | 04:52 |
| lirodon | Linux on UEFI either works like a charm or you get thrown into vendor-specific rabbit holes like this :P | 04:54 |
| lirodon | my old Asus laptop worked like a charm but I have to do pci=nomsi | 04:55 |
| Unit193 | I thought the bigger brands were usually better at...not being weird, but since that's an Acer... | 04:55 |
| lirodon | Acer is its own special category | 04:55 |
| lirodon | Insyde H2O is funky. At least Asus prefers just a typical American Megatrends UEFI | 04:55 |
| nikolam | I moved /home/user folder from one PC to another and in another Xubuntu 22.04 installation , when I used to clicked on Xfce launcher menu in panel, whole Xfce was freezing and machine couldn't regularly shut down, too. | 07:05 |
| nikolam | How some but in application launcher in panel could have so devastating affect on the whole machine.. | 07:06 |
| nikolam | Scratch that, I think it is abut external ZFS pool on USB, that /home/user folder exists. If pools goes offline.. | 07:30 |
| gabriel | [xubuntu 22.04] Hi. I have a problem with Fn keys to increase/decrease brightness. Brightness control slider is working ok in Power manager, even notification pop-up shows when Fn keys are pressed, but no control at all. googled a lot, but couldn't find same case as mine. Where is the appropriate board to put this question? Thanks in advance. | 15:06 |
