Umeaboydevslash: I think I have a solution that MIGHT work.........00:01
Umeaboysudo grub-install /dev/sda --force and then run sudo update-grub00:01
UmeaboyThen reboot.00:02
UmeaboyThat MIGHT work. It's been talked about here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1161746/grub-install-error-will-not-proceed-with-blocklists00:02
devslashok thanks. lol I did try --force but that made things slightly worse00:06
devslashnow it boots directly into memtest00:06
devslashI did not do update-grub after doing grub-install00:06
devslashso I have decided to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch00:06
leftyfbdevslash: I would recommend sticking with LTS00:07
devslashI am in the process of flashing the iso to a usb00:08

th34lch3m1stHi all01:18
gryhi th34lch3m1st01:23
rusermmmm, why would debootstrab be failing with different erros, when i try to install it on a  RaidZ1 :/ but when i point it to a subdir, no issues.   the errors are usually either unpacking a tar file or creating a softlink :/01:27
ruserverbose is not useful either01:30
ruserI want to poke around the system via live ISO and see how it marks things up for a disk. I'm booted via a live iso, what's a good  VM that i can run to try the intaller01:41
rboxhuh?01:42
ruserrbox:  i did a manual setup for luks/zfs for 22.04 via LiveISO, however debootstrap is failign with wierd errors.  I want to run  a VM  to try to install 22.04 with installer into the VM so I can compare what i did by hand vs what installer does.   What's a good VM manager to do that.01:44
rboxvirtualbox01:44
ruseris it normal that key signing key is from 2016 for virtualbox?01:45
rboxsounds like a question for oracle01:45
toddcit should download a current key01:46
rusertoddc: 2016 appears to be the current key01:51
toddcit could be Its been a while since i checked01:52
SquareI thought Wayland was the default setting in 22.04 but apparently I was wrong.03:03
toddcSquare: depends on video drivers ---nvidia?03:06
Squareyep03:07
SquareI'm starting to realize nvidia and linux aren't best of friends03:07
toddcthen X11 for those  altho there are some new drivers that claim to work but pretty new so try at your own risk and only for certain cards03:08
Squaretoddc, oh. Do you have any search terms finding those drivers?03:11
toddcI think it was CUDA03:13
SquareOh, i thought CUDA was only for GPU interaction. Like for computation03:17
toddcSquare: no idea I do not need much resolution in a terminal03:19
Apachezany of you who have a ixgbe network card with 3rd party transceivers? How do you properly load "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1" on newer kernels? Is it supposed to work by adding to the grub or must the initramfs be rebuilt for it to work?03:45
rboxwhat do you mean "on newer kernels"?03:46

SquareIt's a bit confusing. First ubuntu base settings has some "theme" settings. Then "Tweaks" has yet another theme setting. Then a lot of application seems to have some theme capabilities (hexchat, terminal, etc...).04:26

devslashwhen I run os-prober it shows no output. I have Windows on /dev/sda and Linux on sdb. At the moment, I see a grub prompt that only has 1 entry for Ubuntu which boots fine05:13
Bashing-omdevslash: Just a thought - Windows boots UEFI - is ubuntu also installed in that mode ?05:15

webchat23wow, the new 23.10 iso still isn't available? how hard can it be to swap out some text07:22
SwedeMikewebchat23: what don't you do that, then?07:32
tomreynwebchat23: The Ubuntu desktop release is done by Canonical. They have (sound, and common) policies in place not to do releases on Fridays or the weekend. And business hours just started in UK (and not everyone involved in the release will work by UK time, I assume). This said, I don't see how it has a major impact.07:35
DumbLDoorHi All! I am upgrading to 23.10 and I see text in a script that I do not recognize07:39
tomreynDumbLDoor: do you want to provide more information?07:40
DumbLDoortomreyn - I can put a screenshot on pastebin07:40
tomreynimgur.com would work07:41
tomreynor a textual copy on a dpaste07:41
DumbLDoortomreyn : https://ibb.co/QpNdn9M07:49
ravagei think you need to translate that to almost everyone here07:50
DumbLDoorLooked like Greek script to me initially but then... I think the cyclical symbol is to restart, hope it is.07:51
ravageif that is not the language you use on your system that is a bug07:51
webchat23Looks like an encoding issue to me07:52
DumbLDoorravage: this started midway during the upgrade - it is quite annoying.07:52
tomreyndid you already report a bug on this?07:52
DumbLDoorNope! Don't know what happened here. Yes, you are right on encoding, it does not seem like a valid script.07:53
DumbLDoorI guess I am going to restart using the 1st button.07:54
ravagegoogle translate cant make anything useful out of it07:54
tomreynthere is bug 203939407:54

tomreynsee the screenshot on the bottom, i assume you are running into the same issue.07:55
ravagelanguage seems to be a thing with 23.10 :)07:55
tomreynnote that release upgrades aren't available yet unless you choose to circumvent it07:56

ice9I set DNS servers in systemd-resolved but when I do dnsleaktest.com it's using the servers I set plus the ISP DNS server too; how is that?09:05
jailbreakice9: stick around someone might know. Or try the forums. Asking a question then leaving isn't good; at all.09:07
jailbreakSwear ice9 you have been asking the same question for days now......09:08
webchat23ice9: is that a desktop?09:10
jailbreakwebchat23: he asks a question then leaves. Tomorrow he will do the same...09:12
webchat23he seems to be still here09:12
jailbreakYes, that's what he does.09:12
webchat23well, then it's just pure spam09:12
jailbreakHe's already been k-lined from Libera.09:13
jailbreaklol09:13
jailbreakWe're going offtopic now. Sorry.09:13
ice9jailbreak, I don't leave, why are you saying so?09:15
jailbreakice9: you've been asking the same question for days now......09:15
webchat23ice9: i have some ideas, if you're willing to poke around a few things.. is this on some desktop edition or is it a server?09:16
ice9jailbreak, I have been asking another question not that for days because I got no replies, today's question is different btw; and most of the people when they reply, they don't mention the nick so their message is lost as I don't get notification; btw I use IRC bouncing service so I try to follow the replies when I was offline09:19
ice9webchat23, it's a desktop09:19
webchat23does it use networkmanager?09:19
jailbreakYawn. Anyway, back to support...09:20
ice9webchat23, yes09:20
webchat23ice909:20
webchat23oops09:21
webchat23check in /etc/netplan for a .yaml file that has a line with "renderer: NetworkManager"09:21
webchat23see which nameservers you have on there09:21
ice9webchat23, I think this one should overrides DNS /etc/systemd/resolved.conf09:23
webchat23you're using networkmanager, so check there first09:24
webchat23see if the dns servers there match the ones that you get on your dnsleaktest09:25

gebbionehi folks i just run a smart test and it says failed, the ux doesnt seems to have an option to export it to a file and I realise the disk is very old hence the problem. Anyhow is there a way to understand why it is failing? I see a bunch of numbers but would like a better understanding than https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/disk-check.html.en12:34
