[02:54] hello ... any suggestions to fix this problem? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1519517/fix-boot-device-compatibilities-for-zenbook-14-on-ubuntu [03:25] hello ... any suggestions to fix this problem? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1519517/fix-boot-device-compatibilities-for-zenbook-14-on-ubuntu [03:25] echo? [03:35] what is fortran code [03:36] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran [03:37] bye [04:24] Hi, everyone. I'm running into an issue dist upgrading from 23.10 to 24.04. When configuring the updated grub-efi-amd64-signed package, I get the message "The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason. It is important to make sure that the installed GRUB core image stays in sync with GRUB modules and grub.cfg. Please check again to make [04:24] sure that GRUB is written to the appropriate boot devices." Then it lists "GRUB install devices" and gives me one option, a partition on an external disk I have attached. The devices holding my /boot and /boot/efi aren't listed. I've run grub-install and update-grub, but it still gives me that message when configuring that package. Anyone know why that might be? [04:25] run update-grub first then grub-install [04:27] both steps completed without issue, but I still get that message [04:27] in the specified order, updated changes the grub file, install does what is says [04:28] sudo grub-install /dev/sda <--- change the last part to be where you want the grub installed to [04:30] short instructions writeup --> https://gcore.com/learning/how-to-install-grub-bootloader-in-linux/ [04:31] Yeah, disk not present means it's gone or was assigned a new UUID, so you gotta find which one it is now, see the link [04:33] ArchDave: https://pastebin.com/gkagaGcb [04:39] This should install it per your pastebin: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot --efi-directory=/boot/efi --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda [04:40] I don't know why you would do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed [04:41] do you have the source web page for the directions you used? [04:41] Might be able to figure out given that webpage to read [04:42] To me it appears the last command reconfigure the grub packages, but if you needed that I would think you would do that first then the others [04:45] ArchDave: I'm not following a webpage. I'm trying to get that package configured because that's that configuration step derailed the do-release-upgrade script, leaving me 99% through the "installing files" step with a "your system may or many not be stable"/"good luck" message. Following the suggestion of someone here last night I ran `apt-get -f install` to hopefully take care of the other packages, but configuring that package [04:45] still seems to indicate something is wrong [04:46] * it's that configuration step that derailed [04:49] IF you don't do that step, does it work? IF so, don't do that last step [04:51] does what work? booting the machine? I haven't tried because I stand to lose my currently operable running system. [04:51] Initial thought is that grub-efi-amd64-signed can not be found. It might be grub-efi-amd64-bin [04:52] what do you mean that package can't be found? [04:52] dpkg -l | grep [04:52] followed by that -signed package name? [04:53] dpkg -l | grep "grub-efi-amd64" [04:53] sorry, mistyped it [04:54] cannot be found means it isn't a valid package in your distribution [04:54] https://pastebin.com/MkG4s0Q9 [04:54] that grep command will show you what grub-efi-amd64 are actually currently installed [04:54] please don't use pastebin.com [04:55] bparker: how come? [04:56] non-free/corporate/ads/tracking/pick a thing :p [05:00] bparker: noted [05:00] bparker, is there a channel recommened one? [05:00] recommended [05:01] bpa.st is in the topic [05:02] i think that paste shows both packages are installed [05:04] Ubuntu has it's own on it's website" https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:07] I don't see a reason to reinstall grub unless you mucked with it a bad sort of way [05:07] in a bad sort of way [05:07] to eliminate any potentially old UUIDs anywhere in its configuration. that's the reason i re-did it [05:08] again, it's the configuration that was attempted by the dist upgrade script that i'm trying to complete [05:08] oh yeah [05:09] hmm. the upgrade got confused ... wondering [05:10] the weird thing is I upgraded from 23.04 to 23.10 just hours earlier and got no such message in the process, so it seems to be version-specific or something [05:11] did you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in 23.10 prior to upgrading to 24.02? [05:11] yes [05:12] It's recommended to always keep backups for just this kind of circumstance [05:12] because it had only been a couple hours since 23.10 was installed, nothing was out of date [05:13] I can try to reboot. I have the grub commands to boot my system memorized at this point haha. But if something has become corrupted or misconfigured, the usual linux and initrd lines may not be enough. I have backups of / and /home on my external. I'm just trying to avoid the hassle of restoring from them if possible only to have to deal with this again later [05:16] otherwise all I can think to do is use strace to see what's being read from during the package configuration, but I expect that'd be like drinking from a fire hose [05:16] I get it, I myself just went through a few days of repeated backup recoveries ... it's not that much fun [05:17] Redo that series of commands but don't do that last one that reinstalls and reconfigures grub. Reboot then, that'll probably work out [05:19] ok. well, if I can't boot my system, I could use my 23.04 live "disc" (thumbdrive) to mount and try to recover. I just know it'd be easier to recover from the system itself while it's still running. [05:19] fortunately i can chat here from my phone :) [05:22] I usually fix grub errors/problems using the liveusb stick [05:23] Once it won't boot [05:24] maybe i should upgrade my usb stick to 24.04 first. that may make fixing easier by avoiding version issues [05:24] use gparted to find the right disks/partitions, then mount those disks/partions, chroot etc etc [05:25] ArchDave: great to hear you have experience with it :D [05:25] hopefully I won't need it, but... [05:25] once you're in the chroot, you would be using the new 24.02 to do the repairs [05:29] the binaries would be of the right version, but the running kernel would be 6.2 instead of 6.8. not sure whether that might cause issues [05:39] Naw, don't think so [05:40] you could always just download the 24.02 iso, write it to a usb and just live usb install it from scratch. Recover any user files to a safe place first, of course [05:41] To me it sounds easy, but I have 16TB of storage space to use [05:44] But, I still do remember those days of 8GB usb sticks === EriC^^52 is now known as EriC^ === EriC^ is now known as Guest4611 === EriC^^75 is now known as EriC^ [06:11] repeated backup recoveries due to the backup program used not being able to successfully recover both a windows 11 nvme and a ubuntu nvme concurrently. Took me a while to realize the backup program was the problem.

I even fixed my EFI vars so I don't have to type anything into GRUB [07:53] After entering my password on the login screen it seems to be hanging though :( [07:54] The mouse cursor moves, but I can't switch to a console with, for example, Ctrl-Alt-F2 [07:55] Oh wow. Spoke too soon. It finally proceeded. Maybe plasma was migrating my user config [10:08] hey === sebastian is now known as Guest3667 [11:40] Hi all [12:06] Did some new firmware update bork the latest kernel or something?

[12:07] "latest kernel wouldnt boot" does not look like a firmware or wifi issue [12:08] "the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire..." [12:08] .. [12:08] also what kernel and version of Ubuntu? [12:08] i got the 6.8 hwe kernel yesterday on my 22.04 [12:09] One sec. I'm not a guru but I do have a journalctl log [12:09] How do I list all kernels that are available at boot? [12:09] Guest88: ls /boot/* ? [12:10] sudo update-grub [12:10] also lists them [12:10] OK, the kernel that wouldn't boot is initrd.img-5.15.0-113-generic .

Is there a way for me to dump the filename of the firmware or something?

Is anyone able to help please? [16:16] moving firefox over to snap caused a couple of problems. 1. i can't launch the url from keepassx and 2. this morning the font changed to italics. i don't know if this is a mozilla issue or ubuntu issue [16:16] mozilla does its own theming and font setting [16:17] unless you accept something systemwide, but then you should look in gnome settings > applications > firefox > permissions [16:17] and keepassx and belgium EID is a known issue indeed [16:17] and corp plugins [16:18] both ppa's are behind, 128 https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next?field.series_filter=noble https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=noble [16:40] hi [16:42] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions offers the latest version === robert_ is now known as Guest6353 === Guest6353 is now known as rembi === rembi is now known as _R3mb1 === _R3mb1 is now known as ^R3mb1^ === he1 is now known as hel [18:32] E ai === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [20:57] Hello. What is everyone's favorite IRC client? [20:57] polling is useless, these are the supported clients https://libera.chat/guides/sasl [21:02] mmm [21:17] Evening. [21:18] I just upgraded to 22 LTS and workspaces changed. Got that figured out, now they're at the top instead of at the right. But now I'm plugging my HDMI into an external monitor and when I click "Activities" the workspaces don't show up at the top at all. [21:19] maybe your laptop? has a FN key + screen/external/both [21:21] I used Settings/Displays to configure it to just mirror the displays. [21:21] 2nd screen works? [21:24] Yes.s [21:24] Just no workspaces show up and I have a bunch of open windows in thesame workspace. [21:27] Interesting, windows-alt-left and windows-alt-right work, and so does windows-mousescrollwheel. But I only have two workspaces and all my windows are on the first workspace, and I have no way to move them over to the second workspace. [21:27] oh oke, not set as primairy screen then [21:29] I have the laptop display and external display set on mirror, so both are showing the same thing (which I assume means both are primary). I also have workspaces set to show on all screens. When I click "Activities" the workspaces aren't showing up on either display. [21:33] on 22.04 it is stand on the window, hold 'windows' key, right mouse, move to work space right [21:33] or move monitor right [21:34] but this happens when you join displays [21:40] Ah, hm. [21:41] Hm, odd, windows-right just makes the window shrink towards the right until it's half the width of the screen, windows-right again makes it expand again. [21:42] jups, down and up releases full screen [21:42] Why isn't Polari (gnome irc) on the supported list https://libera.chat/guides/sasl? [21:42] Albeit this on a supwer wide LG screen, 3440 x 1440, though right now since I have the displays mirroring, the external display is at the max resolution the built-in laptop display can handle, 1920x1080. [21:43] you might want to reask in #libera === nshirelaptop2 is now known as nshirelaptop === sid_ is now known as BleedingEar [21:48] oerheks: turns out, that's not a list of supported clients [21:49] proven support for SASL, maybe polari works? [21:49] https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Polari and only noble gives .46 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/polari [21:49] Yeah I dunno what sasl is, that's why I was asking, maybe it doesn't have that. [21:49] authentication method [22:26] hey all, have two NVME drives, one with win11 other with Fedor and Kubuntu, I am using Kubuntu to control Grub. However it only finds Fedora and does not placed itself in the Grub menu. Any thoughts? [22:29] Hey Fudge. Did you try with os prober? What PC Is this? [22:30] hey wuseman yeah os-prober is enabled by default, doesnt find windows either but not concerned about that. it's an AM5 Ryzen 9 b650m chipset [22:32] Fudge: Ok. I don't know then. [22:34] wuseman yeah it's bugging me, my motherboard boot menu f12 shows Windows bootloader, UEFI and Ubuntu options, also the UEFI bios ofc. both UEFI and Ubuntu show fedora 40beta, advanced options and UEFI bios. I might have to try and manually add to grub.cfg see if it boots that way. [22:40] Fudge: it sounds like fedora is controlling grub and not finding kubuntu [22:42] Fudge: sudo efibootmgr -v might give more info about whats loading [22:42] Fudge: you have three OS, windows, fedora and kubuntu? [22:47] EriC^^ yeah can give it a try [22:48] bprompt sry for delay yes three OS. but they are new drives so I used gparted and copied the two ext4 partitions to the new drive which is where the wheels started to fall off. [22:48] the second drive for nix now has three partitions, I made a 500mb boot EFI partition and moutned it in fstab also wusing UUID [22:49] Fudge: so you never really installed any of the OS, only windows, you only made partitions for fedora and kubuntu and copied them over to the new SSD? [22:50] I mean, I'm assuming you installed windows, otherwise windows will give you a major hassle [22:50] bprompt knowing I would have to fix grub yes copied them from my previous disk whedre tehy were installed Fedora then Kubuntu finally. [22:51] [00:30:43] hey wuseman yeah os-prober is enabled by default, = not true [22:51] yeah mate installed windows [22:51] in 24.04? [22:52] oerheks maybe I enabled it, I'm aware os-prober can play havoc on some OS, probably misspoke [22:52] Fudge: can you boot to fedora or kubuntu using the UEFI menu? as in, make either one as 1st in the boot sequence [22:52] Fudge: I mean, are the copied installations working? [22:53] efibootmgr -v would tell what to do [22:53] same in fedora [22:54] bprompt nah not successfully, probably easier at this point to re-install them. I am not very good with Fedora installer as its accessibility is not great. I use a svreenreader [22:54] oerheks I'll boot into live and get back to you shortly [22:57] Fudge: hmmmm I'd consider doing a liveUSB session, then chroot to either fedora or kubuntu, and do an "update-grub" from there, the liveUSB session chroot will update the grub info [22:57] !chroot | Fudge [22:57] Fudge: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [23:00] Fudge: though sometimes, unless the HDD are the same "geometry", just coping alone may not work to have an installation work right out of the box, because installations of apps, and that's the case I'd think here, you want your apps installed as is, but those installations probe hardware and installs drivers only required by the hardware and OS they're installed at that instance, so if you installed something for some different HDD, those drivers may not [23:00] work for the new SSD and the app may not work on the copied version [23:03] Fudge: installing on an OS on SSD these days is a matter of 20 minutes, then you have to slug through the installations of the apps, however, they way I do is, I always back up my $HOME folder, is where all configurations are, and that's the one I copy over to a new installation, I install all apps, and then I copy $HOME over, and my configurations are as I had them, so I don't have to change much anything really, however I do install the apps, but is [23:03] mostly configured already from my back up [23:07] Fudge: you may want to consider as well, RescueZilla for those things [23:07] !rescuezilla | Fudge [23:07] crap, got the name off hmmm [23:07] !find rescuezilla [23:07] Package/file rescuezilla does not exist in noble [23:07] hmm [23:08] Fudge: anyhow -> https://rescuezilla.com/ [23:09] Fudge: rescuezilla does "imaging", and imaging is very very different than copying, imaging carries over keys, certificates, passwords, accounts, apps, configurations, the whole enchilada [23:11] bprompt: thanks mate, I'll check it out but often have roadblocks if apps are accessible.
