[01:56] <Slartibart> Guys? I'm on 23.04, and I'm getting a desktop notification saying that an upgrade to 23.10 is available, and that this version will stop receiving updates in 72 days. But when I click on it I get a window titled 'Upgrade failed' and an empty textbox in it('Upgrade failed with the following output') :-[. Anyone experienced it? Solved it?
[02:04] <rfm> Slartibart, first thing to do is make sure you're completely up to date (in a terminal, "sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade")  then run the release upgrade in a terminal with "sudo do-release-upgrade".  That might give  a more helpful message (which you could pastebin here for further ideas..)

[06:37] <hwpplayer1> Do I need swap ?
[06:39] <CosmicDJ> hwpplayer1: sudo apt install zram-tools
[06:40] <hwpplayer1> CosmicDJ: then
[06:40] <hwpplayer1> What should I do then ?
[06:41] <CosmicDJ> hwpplayer1: configure zram swap in /etc/default/zramswap and then start the zramswap.service or reboot
[06:42] <hwpplayer1> Zram or swap ? Are these terms same ?

[08:05] <Unit193> Don't use 'sudo' with wget, but with the 'tee'.
[08:05] <Unit193> Also, you don't need to dearmor as apt understands asc files.
[08:05] <elias_a> Unit193: Ok. Thanks!

[15:59] <jStefan> baobabobao, did you try with: /dev/disk/by-uuid/...   those are symbolic links

[16:06] <enzotib_> I installed Ubuntu 22.04 on a MacBook Air, along with macOS, it went OK and I used both for a while. Now I did an update of macOS and it broke boot loader. Tried to grub-install from a livecd, but it gives "failed to get canonical path of `/cow'"
[16:09] <jeremy31> Roey: It must be something with the Bose SL3 as my Sony headset works fine with the same bluetooth adapter on 23.10

[18:02] <en1gma> i just got my m2 nvme (key m) to key e usb adapter today for my 512gb m2 nvme. i formatted a gpt ntfs partition and speed tested it over the usb 3.2 gen 1 port. 500MB read and write. i want to use this for my ubuntu install. how do i make it not interfere with my m.2 nvme (windows 11) bootloader? does the mb m2 need to be removed?
[18:03] <en1gma> when i do my ubuntu updates in the past it always wants to take over the windows bootloader
[18:03] <en1gma> i dont think there is a way in my asrock bios to hide the mb m.2 nvme
[18:04] <ravage> use a single EFI partition and nothing will overwrite anything usually
[18:04] <ravage> just adds your OS
[18:05] <ravage> your windows install needs to be an EFI install too then of course
[18:05] <ravage> never mix that
[18:07] <en1gma> ravage so during install i tell ubuntu to use the usb m2 to put the bootloader there it will not interfere with the windows 11 bootloader?
[18:07] <enzotib_> jeremy31: unfortunately your suggestion didn't work, but I found a simpler solution, during the boot I could choose RecoveryHD, EFI boot, MacintoshHD and EFI USB, with EFI boot I was able to boot the installed Ubuntu and from there grub-install worked
[18:07] <enzotib_> jeremy31: thanks anyway for your time
[18:07] <ravage> en1gma: there is no such thing as a bootloader that can be overwritten on EFI. there is one EFI partition and that will have all your boot entries for your OSes
[18:08] <ravage> ubuntu does not remove OSes on install
[18:08] <en1gma> so if i pick the usb m2 during install for ubuntu it will move the windows 11 bootloader there too?
[18:08] <en1gma> so if i dont have the usb drive connected i wont be able to boot into windows?
[18:09] <ravage> it does not move anything. if windows is already installed and in EFI mode then it stays where it is
[18:09] <en1gma> during the ubuntu install it asks me where to put the bootloader
[18:10] <en1gma> yea win11 is already installed with secure boot/gpt/ntfs
[18:13] <ravage> i am not familiar with the dual boot options. i dont have windows installed atm
[18:14] <ravage> maybe someone else has experience how it looks exactly
[18:14] <en1gma> k
[18:16] <toddc> dual boot install to the M2 drive and grub will find and point to the windows install on the other drive
[18:16] <en1gma> toddc so what happens if i remove the usb drive and try and boot windows 11?
[18:17] <toddc> grub replaces windows bootloader   I do usually turn off fast boot in windows
[18:17] <en1gma> if i tell ubuntu to install grub to the usb stick it deletes windows 11 bootloader?
=== [[R]] is now known as rbox
[18:18] <toddc> en1gma: when grub pops up there will be a option to boot windows11 grub will also add a delay so you have time to pick which OS you want
[18:18] <ravage> that is not how UEFI boot works
[18:18] <en1gma> again. if i remove the usb drive
[18:18] <en1gma> which has the bootloader
[18:19] <jStefan> i've had a similar setup before, but I don't remember if I had to repair the windows bootloader after install. Worst case scenario, it's not hard to do
[18:19] <en1gma> what happens when i turn my computer on without the usb drive which has the bootloader (grub)
[18:20] <en1gma> jStefan you are correct my friend. windows 11 iso on another usb drive to repair bootloader
[18:20] <en1gma> i am trying to avoid this :)
[18:20] <toddc> in a normal dual boot ubuntu and windows windows bootload remains but is bypassed by grub assuming ubuntu was installed last
[18:20] <ravage> if you remove the drive that has the EFI partition it will not boot
[18:20] <jStefan> not even that, worst case you boot one time using grub, eject the usb, and you can run the repair commands within windows
[18:20] <ravage> if there is an efi partition and you boot from that drive it will work
[18:21] <en1gma> yes so in this case it does not replace the windows 11 bootloader it deletes it or moves it to the usb drive when i select where to put it during ubuntu install
[18:21] <en1gma> so i would need to put grub on the windows drive if i ever want to remove the usb drive and boot windows
[18:21] <en1gma> crap
[18:21] <en1gma> might as well have a dual boot
[18:21] <en1gma> with no usb drive
[18:22] <jStefan> all I remember was In the end, I had two boot loaders, the windows one where it always was, and on on the USB, and I had to the use the quickboot menu provided by the bios when I inserted the USB
[18:22] <jStefan> But what I don't remember is if i had to run any repairs on the bootloaders when I did it
[18:22] <ravage> you can have multiple EFI partitions
[18:22] <en1gma> what happens when grub updates
[18:23] <ravage> but then you have to select the drive in your bios
[18:23] <en1gma> its during the grub-update that things get screwy
[18:23] <jStefan> I didn't have issues with any grub updates after everything was setup
[18:24] <Roey> <jeremy31> Roey: It must be something with the Bose SL3 as my Sony headset works fine with the same bluetooth adapter on 23.10 <- all this worked normally for me until the upgrade from 23.04 -> 23.10.  The SoundCore Life Q30 bluetooth headphones also no longer work
[18:25] <jStefan> you can probably trick the ubuntu installer to not touch that disk at all, by blacklisting the device within the ubuntu install environment
[18:26] <ravage> or just remove it and select the usb drive from bios
[18:26] <ravage> after you finished your installation
[18:26] <jStefan> removing an m2 can be troublesome on some setups, depending what's in front
[18:26] <en1gma> i think thats how i used to do it but if grub-update does its thing and reboots computer then it messes with it
[18:27] <ravage> grub does not modify your system on boot
[18:27] <en1gma> if you move the usb drive to a different usb port i think it wont boot or something
[18:27] <ravage> unlikely as it ussed UUIDs to identify it
[18:27] <ravage> *uses
[18:28] <en1gma> ok im going to install ubuntu 22.04 amd64-desktop to the usb drive and just put grub there?
[18:28] <ravage> yes
[18:28] <jeremy31> Roey: try disabling PulseAudio
[18:28] <en1gma> and then i have to remove the usb drive and insert a windows 11 iso and do a repair?
[18:28] <jStefan> if you remove the usb device, your bios would likely fail to boot to the "saved" uuid and try to recover, that recover may include setting the uuid of the windows drive and saving it
[18:29] <en1gma> for its bootloader?
[18:29] <ravage> probably not
[18:29] <jStefan> therefor everytime you put the usb back in, it probably won't automatically boot to it, unless you re-select it in the bios, or quickmenu
[18:29] <en1gma> ahhh
[18:29] <ravage> i mean im sure you have a full backup of your windows drive anyway. or at least your data
[18:30] <en1gma> ok let me try that method. ive already installed win11 like 3x in the past few days anyway. whats once or twice more.
[18:30] <jStefan> and that will likely happen even if each disk has it's own bootmgr
[18:30] <ravage> so go for it
[18:30] <en1gma> nah i just barely got it setup again
[18:30] <en1gma> cool cool and thanks you guys. will report back when i get done
[18:30] <jStefan> fixing windows boot mgr is a simple task
[18:30] <Roey>  <jeremy31> Roey: try disabling PulseAudio  <- how?
[18:31] <en1gma> i used to do a /fixmbr but now im gpt
[18:31] <en1gma> so not sure how that works now
[18:45] <Roey> jeremy31: I issued "systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse" and it works now, thanks
