Hello everyone, I was trying to install ubuntu on a disk that has w10 already installed, I made a partition for Ubuntu but when I was trying to make the partition table after making the first partition the rest of the space got unusable, so I couldn't continue. Any clue why is this happening? I attach a picture of the HD status.

Installed Ubuntu mate 20.04 Lts and everything went fine until it loaded with the screen stair stepping and all garbled. I did updates through cmd line rebooted a few times and screen was fine a powered laptop off turned back on not fixed I have tried a few things with no fix. I know it’s an amd gpu issue.

Blank screen at random intervals, all operating systems (xubuntu 20.04, Windows 10)

Hi,

I bought an Asus Vivobook laptop a few days ago (AMD 4700U with Vega 7) and installed Xubuntu 20.04 in dual boot with windows. After some issues with brightness that led me to update the kernel to mainline (5.7), everything was working fine for a couple of days, until it started to give me a blank screen randomly, where the only way out was to force a reboot. After doing that twice, it started blanking even earlier, on boot (after the grub) in any operating system (Xubuntu, in recovery, older kernels, and Windows). Occasionally the computer boots fine up to the login screen or even beyond, then blanks out. I don't see any trigger or commonality.

On the few occasions where it didn't blank out but instead gave me some console lines, this is what I got, where it either blanks out or just freezes. Sometimes it will also reboot on its own. I have no idea what any of this means:


Can anyone help me figure this out?

Hey guys, so I am bit stuck trying to dual boot ubuntu on an Aurora r10. I followed some tutorials, shrunk my partitions, and created the bootable usb, pressed f12 on start up and selected to install ubuntu, and I am seeing a crazy screen that looks like everything is broken. I have tried with 18.04 and 20.04 and both have given me the same result. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any help would be super appreciated

[ubuntu] 20.04 LTS installed - Have questions to prep for Halium development

$

I want to ensure caution before acting. The 20.04 installation progressed without issue. I added the i386 architecture and verified its presence. My questions begin with updating packages immediately afterward. These are most likely associated with the i386 architecture correct? I receive a message indicating 12, or 14 the second time, packages can be upgraded and run the following instruction to determine this list of packages

apt list ---upgradable

My concern is first with determining the correct packages to upgrade/update then performing the process.

installation of ubuntu 20.04 on an encrypted laptop

Dear all,

my laptop is(was??) encrypted (I've the password). I wanted to install ubuntu 20.04 on it from a usb drive. During the installation process I get an error saying something like "input/output error : I cannot write on dev/sda". The installation process never goes beyond "Choose your country"

I've used testdisk to check the disk and the short version ends without any error ("tests passed"), while the long version never reaches the end (10% remains after several hours).
I have tried the command :
Code:

sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sda
and got, after few seconds :
Input/output error during test data write, block 1280 (and many other block numbers)
The output looked like (0/0/XXX <- a high number)
I have tried :
Code:

sudo hdparm --read-sector 1280 /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
reading sector 1280: succeeded

0710 8c0e 02bc 8203 0007 1094 0e02 001d

and repeating the command it gives always the same output.
I then tried to write on it with :
Code:

sudo hdparm --write-sector  1280 --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
re-writing sector 1280: SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 04 51 00 01 21 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
succeeded

But we lunching again
Code:

sudo hdparm --read-sector 1280 /dev/sda
the output is the same and also
Code:

sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sda
gives the same output as before for the block 1280

Can someone give me a hint please to go up to the end of the ubuntu installation despite this issue?

Thank you very much
Cheers

System hangs at shutdown

$

I bought a new (for me) Dell Optiplex 9020 with windows 10 installed. I installed Xubuntu 16.04 form a CD I have,and then upgraded to 18.04.4. everything was working fine, but shutdown paused at the end. I looked up this problem and follow instructions to fix this from this page:
https://medium.com/@sbyang/slow-shut...4-e5fcc31255e2

I did not take out the # sign at the beginning of the line--I'm not sure if I needed to do that. I changed
#DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s to #DefaultTimeoutStopSec=4, and I also changed the line above it which I think was DefaultTimeoutstartSec=90s as well.
I read at the top of the file, at that if I wanted to undo my changes I could delete the file and the defaults would be restored.
I assumed that a new file identical to the original would be created in its place, but now there is no such file at /etc/systemd/system.conf.
When the shutdown finishes, the computer does nothing for a while then I start getting error:
revalidation failed (errno-5) and this goes on until I power off the system by holding the power button.
I tried changing the file back to it's original state--no change
I tried deleting the file--no change. of course i rebooted the system sever times in the process and since.

The last lines before the pause are:
[OK] Reached target shutdown
[OK] Reached target Final step
Starting Power-off
After pause the first few lines are:
[] ata3.00 exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 action 0x0 frozen
[] ata300 cmd a0/00:00:00:00:08 00/00:00:00:00:00:00/90 tag 27 pio 16392 in
Get event status notification 4a 01 00 00 10 00 00 00 08 00 ics 40/00:00:00:00:00:/00 /100 Emask 0x4

There are a few more lines like this then the revalidation errors start.

How can I fix this and not have a delay in the shutdown/restart process?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

[SOLVED] Lubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop - Intallation Failed - filesystem.squashfs

I'm an average Linux user. Been using Lubuntu since 14.04... Now trying to install Lubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop using VirtualBox 5.2.40r. (correct, this isnt 6 as it had some issues at the beginning when it came out).

I manage to get the installation running, however, midway though installation i get the following error:

Lubuntu.20LST.installation.error.jpg
"Installation Failed
Failed to unpack image"/cdrom/casper/filesysm.squashfs
rsync failed with error code 2"

I remember having similar issues in the past but that was on the machine where i just relugged the USB. Here is the VM.

I'm under the impression that 20.04 is stable/long term. Is there a work around for this error?

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.


This was likely caused by:
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge
package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and
try the upgrade again.


If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If
you want to investigate this yourself the log files in

specifically it seems the problem:

so the culprit is here ?

[ubuntu] 20.04 live usb on desktop, black screen freeze after grub menu

$
0
0
Hi,

I own an Asus Pro Art PA90 station, and I tried to boot on a Ubuntu 20 USB Key, I get the Grub menu.After the pressing enter, the screen is just black. Nothing, no log, nothing. Everything is freeze.


Even with the compatiblity (recovery) option, this is the same. Black, without anything.

Fast boot, and Secure boot are disabled. AHCI and EFI activated (no legacy).

Note : This key is working great on my laptop.

I tried with Ubuntu 18.04 and this is booting. But after installing on disk, and upgrading to Ubuntu 20, the installation do not boot anymore, like the USB Key, freezing after "Loading initial ramdisk"

I tryied to "nomodset" option without any success. Try with "nouveau.noaccel=1" instead of "nomodeset". Try with "noapic noacpi nosplash irqpoll" instead of "quiet splash".


I update the Bios firmware to the last version, but do not help

[ubuntu_mate] RAID 1 file compare errors

I have a Ubuntu mate installation with 2 raid 1 arrays of 4GB each (total 4 4GB drives, Raid arrays were created with mdadm)

When I copy l(using caja) arge files from either raid array to another disk and then compare the original files to the copies, meld and diff report many compare errors. It seems unlikely that both raid arrays would have bad disks. And I get the same results with more than 1 disk.

Is there any way to diagnose or fix the problem is, or should I just build another $2K machine and salvage the hardware in this one?

Installing Ubuntu isn't going well...

$

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this. I've been attempting to install Ubuntu for a couple days now. It's not going well. The problem is, I find tidbits of advice all over the internet saying 'try this it worked for me' and a couple of times I've had to completely restore the computer to factory settings because I almost bricked my laptop.

So here I am... asking for mercy to get this project over with.

My specs on the laptop:

HP Omen laptop 15-ek0013dx
Intel i7 - 10750H processor
512gb Intel SSD
32gb Intel optane
16gb ddr4
Windows 10
Nvidia GeForce 2060 RTX 6gb vram
Bios vendor: AMI
Bios Revision: F.01

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04

I've tried a lot of different things in quite a few install guides. I've tried shrinking the volume and it finally installed, but couldn't get the grub menu and nothing I did to enable grub, including boot-repair from the live usb fixed that. Currently, I've removed the volume created for Ubuntu and have fatory reset everything. If there's an install guide out there that I haven't seen that addresses issues that I might run into with my particular laptop, I'd appreciate a pointer to that article as I haven't found one yet. I've installed Ubuntu along side Windows several times before but I've never had any issues. This time I couldn't get Ubuntu to see that I had Windows installed no matter what tricks I tried and the only time it did show up as an option was when I shrank the windows volume and suddenly after reboot Ubuntu saw the Windows installation and allowed me to 'install alongside Windows'. However, grub was no where to be found and it booted straight to Windows regardless of how many articles and supposed solutions I tried.

I'm taking a couple classes that require me to use Linux and I'm really in need of getting this done. There's obviously something I'm doing wrong and it seems to be specific to my computer. Any solid help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[xubuntu] 19.10 Software Updater says 20.04LTS avail, but Update fails

$

I apologize if this is posted anywhere else, but I did search diligently. I recently upgraded from 18.04 to 19.10 eoan and all seems to run okay, but now the software updater says "18.04LTS is available - you have 19.10". When I click the Upgrade button absolutely nothing happens. I waited for an hour, yet nothing seemed to do anything toward upgrading. When I watched the Task manager, there were two entries popping up every five or six seconds in green, turning red, then dying. They were:

/user/lib/gvfs/gvfs-smb --spawner:1.7 /org/stk/gvfs/exec-spaw/1274
/user/lib/gvfs/gvfs-smb --spawner:1.7 /org/stk/gvfs/exec-spaw/1273

The 1274 and 1273 are incrementing with each appearance. Not sure if these two entries are germane to the problem.

When I run the updater in a terminal, I get this:

Code:

bill@bill-UBU:~$ sudo apt update

The following packages have been kept back:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

What does "kept back" mean, and how do I fix this? I can see it has to do with 'libsnmp30', but beyond that, I don't know what to do. Is 20.04LTS actually out there and ready to be downloaded? I get conflicting answers, one of which tells me it isn't ready yet and won't be until August.

So bit of a conundrum/rubik cube/catch 22/maze situation


Got there from 18.04 through 19.10 >>


Code:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:    focal


but quite a few dependencies moaning: [forgot to say when upgrading to 20.04 it only went 10% in then some kink appeared reloaded with fingers crossed]




Code:

Most things "work" but I would like a clean system

I did a few things as can be seen below but caught in a maze so not sure how to proceed

[ubuntu] usb flash drive stops ubuntu from starting

If a flash drive is connected the startup fails

New install of Ubuntu MATE version 20

Hardware wakes up, Boot screen comes up. Then the screen goes black, no borders, blinking cursor and no response to keyboard.

Testing with a different flash drive, black screen states 'error loading operating system'. There is no os or boot on either flash drive.

I went into the BIOS and set hard drive to first and usb to last. Well it did go good. Well I never thought it would. Right said Fred ...

[ubuntu] Settings App Not Opening After Fresh Install Of Ubuntu 20.04

Hi Friends,

On Dell XPS
Did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 (Dual Boot Windows 10)

Settings app hasn't opened even once after installation.
I tried this but it didn't help.

I am crippled without the Settings App GUI.

Any solutions?

[lubuntu] EFI woes

Hi, I just hit this nagging problem and hope one of the efi gurus can point me in the right direction to resolve it.

I have a HP Stream notebook with Win10 and Lubuntu 20.04 dual booting without any issues.

Yesterday, I installed another 64GB microsSD card and installed UbuntuStudio on the new microSD card. Interestingly, during the installation process, I was asked to provide a password when I clicked on the option of wanting to install third party applications. The installation process went off without any issues.

When I rebooted, uefi menu popped up and asked to provide the password to continue which I did. Then after a few seconds, I was presented with the grub prompt.

When I do a ls command at the grub prompt I get shown only the partitions on the emmc card on the Stream laptop. The newly inserted microSD card does not get listed.

I then thought of manually booting into Lbuntu but still I get thrown back to the grub prompt. I disabled secureboot and tried to boot again without success.

Any pointers to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

Dual Booting issue

I have windows 10 on one operating system on one SSD and I have Ubuntu 20.04 on another SSD. I dont plan to keep this SSD drive with Ubuntu in this PC so I would like to give it its own bootloader. When I hit F9 to load boot devices i have UEFI option for windows boot manager but I dont see grub. Legacy options I see the Windows SSD and the Ubuntu SSD but when I load the Ubuntu it takes me to the GRUB terminal. The command "boot" says "must load kernel first". Using Boot-Repair on a live USB doesn't really help it freezes up on one part.

I'm on a live USB now.

Windows is on /dev/sda
Ubuntu is on /dev/sdb
Live USB is on /dev/sdc


~$ sudo file -s /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xee, start-CHS (0x0,0,2), end-CHS (0x3ff,255,63), startsector 1, 234441647 sectors, extended partition table (last)



Going into GParted I have these partitions:

/dev/sdb1 EFI SYSTEM PARTITION fat32 512.mb 35.61mb(USED) 476.39(UNUSED) boot,esp
/dev/sdb2(!) ext5 1.00MiB -- ----- bios_grub
/dev/sdb3 FAT32 513.mib 1.04mb(USED) 511.96mb (UNUSED) msftdata
/dev/sdb4 ext4 110.79gb 8.90gb(USED) 101.89gb(UNUSED)


During the Windows Installation I'm assuming it installed its Boot Loader on /dev/sdb3 which I am not afraid to remove. Windows bootloader works fine and that SSD will stay on this PC.

I'm trying to have 2 functioning bootloaders that work independent of each other with Windows working first and Ubuntu loading if I hit the f9 option and choose which device to boot. I've been at it for about 4 days now so any help is appreciated.
