[04:20] <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
[04:52] <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!
[04:54] <lirodon> Linux on UEFI either works like a charm or you get thrown into vendor-specific rabbit holes like this :P
[04:55] <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
[07:05] <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. 
[07:06] <nikolam> How some but in application launcher in panel could have so devastating affect on the whole machine..
[07:30] <nikolam> Scratch that, I think it is abut external ZFS pool on USB, that /home/user folder exists. If pools goes offline..
[15:06] <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.
