[02:48] There's some problem with the handoff from my machine's EFI to GRUB. So I'm using the GRUB of a live disc to chainload my machine's GRUB. I've gotten that far, but it gives me my machine's GRUB prompt instead of its menu. Does anyone know how I can access its menu instead? [02:52] Or just make it execute the first menu entry's commands [02:54] if it's not loading the menu it's usually because it can't [02:54] maybe the file doesn't exist where it's looking or the filesystem isn't supported [03:04] The EFI system partition's filesystem and .efi file location within it haven't changed since it worked. What's changed is that I had to reinstall Ubuntu, and opted to change my /boot filesystem from ext4 to btrfs. Anyway, I'm not really trying to troubleshoot that yet. There're some Mac-specific concerns potentially involved. I just want to get my system booted using my installer USB [03:16] what does this error message mean on ubu 22.04? [03:17] "/system.slice/vncserver-akik.service is not a snap group" (i'm trying to start firefox) [03:18] dabbler: i had /boot on btrfs for fedora so it should be possible [03:19] dabbler: try "insmod btrfs" and start browsing the files with "ls" [03:19] dabbler: so for example: ls (hd0,gpt1)/ [03:20] dabbler: when you find grub.cfg, use "configfile (hd0,gpt1)/.../grub.cfg [03:23] akik: is that file within /boot? [03:24] I see a grub.efi, but no .cfg [03:24] dabbler: there's one in the efi esp that's kind of a stub file that references the one in /boot/grub [03:25] dabbler: maybe that's your problem if you don't see grub.cfg at all [03:30] I've got a /EFI/grub/mach_kernel and a /EFI/ubuntu/.../boot.efi . (The exact path for the latter is just to satisfy the Mac UEFI firmware.) My GRUB used to work in this condition [03:30] dabbler: you can try booting by manually loading the kernel and initramfs [03:31] dabbler: you need to find the right partition for those files first [03:32] I know the partition. I'm just not sure the commands necessary to deal with my / being in a LUKS container and btrfs subvol within that [03:32] then in grub> linux (hdn,gpt1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXN ro [03:32] then in grub> initrd (hdn,gpt1)/boot/initrd [03:32] then in grub> boot [03:32] i don't know on which partition they're for you [03:33] for btrfs it might be rootflags=subvol=@ instead of root= [03:33] My second partition contains /boot [03:34] i have root=UUID= but i don't know how to get the uuid in grub [03:34] so maybe root=/dev/sdXN would work too [03:35] so maybe in grub> linux (hdn,gpt1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXN rootflags=subvol=@ ro [03:35] I have to decrypt / first [03:35] argh :) [03:36] Looking at GRUB's cryptomount command now [03:37] dabbler: somebody says that "ls -l" in grub> shows the uuid [03:40] dabbler: "ls -l" didn't work for me [03:43] akik: Good to know. I just remembered: I don't think GRUB can decrypt my LUKS2 container, only the kernel can. When I try cryptomount on it with the correct password it tells me it's wrong. I think it's because it doesn't support the key derivation function it uses [03:44] It does print the UUID (of the partition, I assume), though. Maybe that's what I have to pass to the kernel? [03:45] dabbler: i have the encryption setup on my laptop at work, not here at home [03:45] dabbler: ls -l worked for you? [03:47] akik: it looks like it prints filesystem UUIDs, but not partition UUIDs [03:48] dabbler: isn't the filesystem uuid the thing you want? [03:48] akik: GRUB can't see the / filesystem because it can't decrypt it [03:49] I'm looking at the kernel documentation to see if I can figure out what must be passed to tell it to decrypt / [03:59] Hmm I wonder if the instruction to decrypt is baked into initrd. [04:21] Anyone else here have a LUKS-encrypted / with a separate /boot? I'd like to know the right form of the grub commands and yours could be a reference [05:06] akik: I got it! Thanks for your help! :) [05:07] dabbler: how ? [05:08] these things should be documented in the ubuntu wiki [05:21] akik: where (hd3,gpt2)/1 is the btrfs subvol containing /boot and, once the kernel is loaded, /dev/sda3 will contain my encrypted / ... [05:21] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/sDiEoKqq [05:22] For some reason it drops me into an initramfs shell and I still have to decrypt with cryptsetup then 'exit' to continue, so there's something not quite right about the above, but altogether it works haha [05:22] nice [05:23] how did you open the encryption? [05:24] Once someone's installation works, they can always just get their tailored commands from grub.cfg (?) for future reference, but it would be nice to have it in the wiki too [05:24] cryptsetup open --allow-discards /dev/sda3 system [05:24] exit [05:25] That's it [05:25] It prompts you for the password in between, of course [05:25] cool [05:26] The --allow-discards is optional [05:26] Arch wiki to the rescue again haha [05:28] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/kernel_parameters#GRUB and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/System_configuration#cryptdevice [05:29] bookmarked :) [05:29] Now to get grub working properly...

[09:37] zaggynl: I'll try to diagnose it with smartctl [09:41] It's not so much a faulty file as a damaged filesystem or damaged hdd Bardon [09:42] You need to either repair the filesystem or even replace the hdd, depending on what diagnostics say [09:44] Ok, would I repair the fs with fsck.ext4? [09:44] (it's an ext4 fsà [09:44] )* [09:47] Bardon: 'System Volume Information' is a directory Windows creates on NTFS and ExFat file systems. you would not usually have such a director yon an ext4 file system.

[09:54] yes-ubuntu: make sure you have backups, have removed any third party packages and apt sources. [09:54] (and package versions) [09:58] tomreyn: :| ... ahm... as time goes on, I do install and uninstall stuff, without keeping track of them for such reasons? I was wondering, would it ever happen that an upgrade is installed on the system, with the grub allowing to boot into the previous version if anything malfunctions? [10:00] yes-ubuntu: grub does not keep a backup of the previous grub version installed, no. [10:01] given a working boot to grub, you can boot to a previous kernel, though [10:08] Is there a way to persist lingering of a user service across reboot?

[10:21] vbmade2000: instead the usualy numbers (see man 5 crontab) you just use @reboot in EDITOR=yourchoice crontab -e [10:21] i believe you want to edit /etc/inittab (it is similar to autoboot.ncf from the old old days). [10:21] tarzeau Does that require root/sudo access? [10:22] i thnk so, but let me look [10:23] weedmic Sure. Is there any way using loginctl?

[15:13] u8353v[m]: apt list --installed # will list all packages installed [15:13] "where they are installed" is ..... not really worth the effort [15:15] locate , which [15:16] apt-cache show gives detailed info, you can find in softwarecenter too [15:16] u8353v[m]: mind you, the first command only lists packages installed using apt/dpkg. Not snap, appimage, flatpak, tarball, etc [15:17] +1 [15:17] u8353v[m]: what is the exact goal you are trying to achieve and why? [15:19] How frequently is the ubuntu kernel updated? 6.4 is in rc, but the latest version I see is 6.3. Will the Ubuntu kernel be skipping straight to 6.4? [15:20] nathan-web, on what ubuntu version? [15:20] 23.02 [15:21] Err, .04 [15:22] i think not, lunar gives 6.2, next mantic will have 6.3, [15:22] it will get pached, but not jump to 6.4 [15:24] Where can I find that roadmap? [15:24] releasenotes? [15:25] !23.04 | nathan-web [15:25] nathan-web: Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) is the 38th release of Ubuntu and the current regular release – Download at https://ubuntu.com/download :: Release notes at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lunar-lobster-release-notes [15:25] it is by design,. not to jump to newer packages in LTS versions, and the in-between versions have a lifespan of 9 months [15:25] but do get patched, so it basicly is the same security [15:25] nathan-web: every ubuntu release sticks to its kernel version, at final release + the !HWE kernel (when available) as choice [15:26] nathan-web: is there any reason you want a latest kernel? [15:26] I see. [15:28] lotuspsychje: Yeah, I have a newer AMD card but I get occasional GPU crashes that require a reboot to be work correctly again. I am hoping there are driver improvements in 6.3 that will help. [15:28] nathan-web: you got a bug ID for your issue yet? [15:29] you could test next mantis 23.10 beta for that [15:29] I haven't reported it because I wanted to first see if it was fixed in 6.3 [15:29] nathan-web: how would it get fixed if it hasn't been reported? [15:30] AMD GPU drivers were getting frequent updates because of new cards that may fix things that were never reported. [15:33] nathan-web: reporting bugs is a good thing to yourself and the community, i would strongly advice it when one arises on a fresh ubuntu install [15:33] "u8353v: what is the exact goal..." <- unfortunately i think i'll have to re-install kubuntu because i messed up the system tray where you have your apps. [15:33] i just don't have the time to figure out how to get things the way i did previously. as kde plasma can be a bit complex to figure things out.

[17:31] I have run the command suggested in 1717878 to fix that issue. [17:32] RickyRat5005: but thats not related to your online accounts? [17:32] No, not that I can tell. [17:33] lets not mix several issues at once then [17:33] tried it on a fresh 23.03 VM and i could login to my google account [17:33] ravage: on wayland? [17:33] whatever LXD uses for VMs :) [17:33] i need to check [17:34] seems like there are several reports; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-online-accounts/+bugs?orderby=importance&start=0 [17:35] RickyRat5005: if yours isnt listed there, maybe consider filing a new bug [17:35] yep. wayland [17:35] tnx ravage [17:41] Sorry, Internet went down for a moment [17:42] On backup internet now! [17:56] Is there anything else I can do or to check? [17:57] RickyRat5005: i would file a new bug, if yours isnt listed here yet; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-online-accounts/+bugs?orderby=importance&start=0 [18:02] Submitted, thank you! [18:04] Thanks so much for your help! [18:06] RickyRat5005: can you run; apport-collect 2023322 from your terminal please [18:14] Why are there leftover .uuid files with the contents "1" leftover after almost all font packages are removed? [18:33] after almost all font packages are removed? can you elaborate please? === CodeMouse84 is now known as CodeMouse92 [18:47] Remove any font package. For example sudo apt purge tlwg* then ls -a /usr/share/fonts/truetype/tlwg [18:48] wontfix[m]: that's just something to help fontconfig/fc-cache [18:49] so that fontconfig can tell applications that new fonts are available or fonts were removed [18:50] So the 1 means uninstalled? [18:51] Shouldn't dpkg be suppressing warnings for this in the font dir? [18:52] if you run fc-cache then those are removed, no? [18:52] I don't think there should be a "1" (or is that for empty directories or something?) [18:52] the .uuid files all contain the character "1" [18:53] Which is the same thing removing the bolt package does with the "version" file. [18:56] oerheks fc-cache does not remove the files [18:57] What that does do however is change the "1" to a hash. [18:58] is there a problem with those files being there? [18:59] i find no info when they would be wiped, after logout/login? [18:59] and an update run? [19:02] connect irc://irc.420-hightimes.org [19:02] server irc://irc.420-hightimes.org [19:05] wontfix[m]: there is a Debian bug report about this; it seems like removing them should be fine (as well as otherwise empty directories if they are in one) [19:05] Ok great. Sorry I didn't check that first. I checked launchpad and assumed there may have been a reason. [19:11] wontfix[m]: there is a reason why the files are there (fontconfig makes them in all directories it monitors, even empty ones); and there is a reason why the directory is not removed (it is not empty as dpkg expects) [19:13] anyway, those files shouldn't really hurt either [19:14] maybe they get removed with the next update run. [19:16] no, the problem is that the empty directory should be removed when you purge a package, but the directory is never empty because fontconfig creates that file in it [19:19] basically, fontconfig & dpkg are "sabotaging" each other :P [19:25] and there has been some discussion about solving it, but it seems complicated for various reasons (e.g. without those files the caching would not or not always work for flatpacks & such) [19:34] clear [19:34] exit [19:37] Worse, dpkg doesn't even catch all of the dirs. I wonder if some of the dirs exist from fonts that were never installed or due to the process of a minimal installation. [19:41] hi [19:59] Wow what a day... power was out for a couple of hours. But I have a bug report on this filed now. Thanks!

[20:07] Nothing i can think of, thanks for reporting. [20:07] Thank you for helping me. === shokohsc1 is now known as shokohsc [20:57] small support question, in doing a routine check for updates, i receive a note saying updates cannot be installed and I need to run a "partial upgade" - not sure what this means or what caused it?  any help? [20:58] of course partial upgrade does not succeed [21:09] ver 23.04 === shokohsc4 is now known as shokohsc [22:08] Guest53: what's a "partial upgrade"? pastebin the output of "sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade" ? [22:18] sarnold: "partial upgrade" is reported by update-manager when packages are held back and wouild normally be cured by a "apt full-upgrade". [22:18] Eickmeyer: is that part of phasing or is that apt not wanting to remove packages to satisfy dependencies? [22:19] Hi, am frustrated [22:19] sarnold: Not likely, update-manager is aware of those. [22:19] sarnold: I suspect they have repository conflicts. [22:19] during update snapd requested to update from software center, and from then software center does not work. Even by purge and reinstall, not even in recovery mode, cannot be fixed. [22:20] the sweet ubuntu software center wont open anymore [22:20] anyone can help me out ? [22:21] devilboy: run: sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo snap refresh -- pastebin the results of that, and maybe someone will have an idea [22:21] thank you sarnold [22:25] sarnold, https://pastebin.com/v2scW8vc [22:26] huh [22:27] devilboy: Considering you purged snapd and the ubuntu software center is a snap, I'm not at all surprised. 99% of the time in Linux, removing and reinstalling packages doesn't help much (as opposed to Windows). Have you restarted your computer since? [22:28] devilboy: curious, it looks like everything updated just fine, what's showing an error message? [22:28] I'm reinstalling now gnome-software from Synaptic Package Manager - to see if it will work. [22:28] I tried everything, rebooted even in recovery, in recovery I managed to make it work. [22:29] but not in ubuntu normal boot [22:29] Not what either of us asked. [22:29] Eickmeyer, to enter recovery mode you reboot [22:29] snap refresh [22:29] I was asking for normal reboot, never asked about recovery. [22:30] oerheks: That's already been diagnosed. [22:30] Eickmeyer, done that [22:30] it's like a broken package [22:30] devilboy: Did you address what sarnold asked? [22:31] no error message shown guys, I open Ubuntu Software icon, it tries to load, nothing shows and force close. [22:31] I installed gnome-software and a new software center appeared in my ubuntu with a different icon [22:31] That's because ubuntu-software-center is not gnome-software. [22:31] that one opens, but ubuntu software center with the classic orange icon, wont open [22:32] Eickmeyer, I can find it by ubuntu-software-center ? [22:32] * Eickmeyer going afk [22:32] sudo snap install ubuntu-software-center [22:32] As I said before, it's a snap. [22:32] you are a life saver :P [22:32] i searched all over google nobody mentioned ubuntu-software-center [22:34] unfortunately after the command: error: snap "ubuntu-software-center" not found [22:34] It might have a different ame, hold on. [22:35] devilboy: sudo snap install snap-store [22:35] (that's its name) [22:35] * Eickmeyer now afk gotta drive [22:35] thank you all guys [22:36] I will try what Eickmeyer said by remove/install [22:36] and see if it work [22:37] it still doesnt load, but never mind, thank you all have a wonderful day/night [22:55] sarnold Eickmeyer it seems to have straightened itself out - for now anyways - thanks for the responses [22:58] Guest53: I don't like not knowing what happened :( but it'snice you're back up [23:00] sarnold me either - i depend on places like this for help when i run into something strange [23:02] Guest53: heh, me too === CalculusCats is now known as Calico === Calico is now known as a === a is now known as Guest849 === CalculusCat is now known as CalculusCats
