[ubuntu] I hate GPG

April 4, 2024, 9:39 pm

Recenly I knew that apt add-key was deprecated and in new Ubuntu version it will be replaced by GPG.
I started to study GPG and I realized what developers are user-unfriendly monkeys. The GPG is too complex, and here are not simple guides for it.
But I just want to install key for apt unofficial repository, no more. Why this is was made so complex? For what? For security? You don't need to know from where I took my packages.
I'm just a user, not IT-security specialist. And due of situations like this almost 90% users using only official repositories (and also they don't know about capability to install unofficial repo), and I can see the nginx 1.14 and 1.18, postgresql 14 everywhere.
Thanks a lot.
The main idea of Linux about what? This is about if I learn somethin 10-years ago, I can use it now. Or maybe this is because the developers too young and they're not have 10-year experience?
And, of course, I could learn GPG instead of write this messege, of course.

[ubuntu] No EFI System partition

Trying to install Ubuntu 22.04 on a new MB, with SSD drive. I get the issue with "No EFI System Partition found".
Have seen various discussions of this issue, but what I don't get is this: why doesn't the installer
have the option "Use the whole disk" ? You used to be able to select this and it would sort out the
partitioning for you. Now it's asking me to create a suitable partitioning...

Just did a update using Ubuntu 22.04LTS and I getting 3 error messages constantly, with the same ending as in the Title. First stupid question - do I need to update NVIDIA every time I get a notification, even though my hardware remains the same. If that's a yes, then that's the answer.

[ubuntu] Installer doesn't reboot: Failed unmounting cdrom.mount

April 8, 2024, 1:29 pm

Hello all. I've been working with Ubuntu Server for a while now and have been mildly annoyed by one issue during install.

On both physical and virtual machines, when installing from a USB drive, the installer produces an error after completing the install that says:
[FAILED] Failed unmounting cdrom.mount - /cdrom.

If you are on physical machines or connected via a serial console, you will also see:
Please remove the installation medium, then press ENTER:

Unless you press enter, it fails to reboot.

When doing installs on physical hardware or over a serial console, this is easy to ignore and you just hit enter. Despite this, it's also troubling when training other admins or writing install procedures to just tell people to ignore a big red "FAILED" message on every single interactive install, even though it is a non-issue. For DR and business continuity, we have to regularly go through bootstrapping our systems from scratch, so automation mechanisms are not in place for the first few installs and this shows up every time.

On VMs, if you are running through VNC or similar, you can't just hit enter. The installer hangs, and you are stuck with no feedback. Depending on the options you have set up, you can drop into the alternate TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and hit enter there, or you can console in and hit enter there. Neither option is apparent to someone who doesn't know this error occurs every install.

My base system is currently ubuntu-server-22.04. I've encountered this with both 22.04 and 24.04 beta installs. I'm running my VMs with this command:
virt-install \
--name testunit2 \
--os-variant ubuntu24.04 \
--hvm \
--vcpus 2 \
--cpu host \
--memory 4096 \
--location ./ubuntu.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd \
--network default,model=virtio \
--disk size=20 \
--graphics vnc

When doing autoinstalls, this issue doesn't become apparent. Reboots and shutdowns happen without issue. An error might get logged somewhere, but it does not interfere with the process. This only shows up during interactive installs.

So, what's going? Is there a proper fix to avoid this?

Help: Ubuntu won't boot after Saturday update

Using the latest release of Ubuntu (23.10 - I think) on older (8 years ?) HP Laptop. After proceeding with update (I had received a notification that an update was available on Saturday), the update appeared to have installed, but after rebooting (can't remember if I rebooted or it rebooted on it's own) I get a 'scull and crossbones' screen. I did try the limited GRUB menu 'repair' options available but no change. Just wondering if there's something obvious I can do before resorting to reinstalling ubuntu. I apologize for the limited specific information in this post but I'm posting this from another computer (and not currently at home).

HELP: how to install latest nvme-cli on 'Try Ubuntu'

Hi Gang,

When I run 'sudo apt install nvme-cli', I typically get nvme-cli-1.6 or earlier I think, whereas nvme-cli-2.8 appears to be latest. What command/s will install latest nvme-cli?

Having said that, the latest NVME Express Base Spec is Rev 2.0d (Jan 24), so if nvme-cli-1.6 or earlier comply with 2.0d, does latest version matter?

I know 'Try Ubunutu' means reinstalling nvme-cli on every reboot but I'm happy with that for the time being.

Thanks for considering

Hello, I am using a Lenovo Thinkpas L15 laptop, X86 X64, with Xubuntu 22.04.04 LTS installed.
The version I am using is:

Linux t-l15 6.5.0-1019-oem #20-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Mar 18 17:38:55 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Yesterday the system had a kernel upgrade and sind than I can't use the buildin keyboard of the laptop.
The mouse pad is still working and when I goto the BIOS the keyboard is also working.
At the moment I use a USB keyboard.

When I give the command, cat /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type, the system replys with '10'

Who can/will help to solve the problem?

[ubuntu] Installing Ubuntu: Error: file /boot/ not found

Hello,

I am currently a Cybersecurity student who is attempting to install Ubuntu to get more acclimated with Linux and using the terminal. I'm super new using the OS so I'm not quite sure how to resolve the error that I get in the title. It appears for a millisecond when first booting to Ubuntu. I can try Ubuntu and use the software, however I cannot install it on to my hard drive as I get an error. I've tried a few simple troubleshooting steps that I could find on forums and Youtube, but can't seem to come to a solution.

I am currently running on a Macbook Pro 2017 and am attempting to install the latest version available of 20.04.4 from a USB stick that I created using Balena Etcher. I am looking to completely remove the Mac OS from my system and solely use Ubuntu for training and studying.

I also ran a report using Boot-Repair https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YR7b2dktw9/. I've tried re-configuring the USB multiple times as well as using various USB sticks. I've also tried different versions of Ubuntu but still run into issues with the installation.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I need to do to get the OS fully installed?

[ubuntu] GRUB menu missing Windows entry

Hi All

After replacing one of the disks on my Ubuntu and Windows dual-boot system, I made several mistakes that made the Grub menu stop working. :( After using boot-repair from an Ubuntu LiveCD, I now have a system with a working Grub menu that lets me boot into Ubuntu. This is good! :P However, the Windows entry is missing from the Grub menu. Is anyone able to advise me or point me to information on what I should do to recover the Windows entry on my dual-boot system?
I have uploaded a boot-repair report: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/d9DRn94P4x/

Thanks

[ubuntu] apt upgrade problem - intel arc conflict

Hi, I'm having an apt-get upgrade problem with intel arc opengl related packages, newly happening this week.

Linux abrown-MS-7B86 6.5.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar 12 10:22:43 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
I have an intel arc and installed it's driver a while ago without issues using this method https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/client/overview.html

I normally have automatic updates, but I'm getting an error this week, i'm assuming because of the packages in the intel method versus something new available in ubuntu:

a handful of packages are showing some sort of conflict that I can't resolve. any advice would be appreciated
attached are the logs, but a sample of the issue is:
apt-get upgrade gives (truncated sample)
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libegl-dev : Depends: libegl1 (= 1.4.0-1) but 1.7.0-2101~22.04 is installed

...
with recommendations to run fix-broken


then when I run apt --fix-broken install i get this (truncated sample)

I tried using remove --purge with the entire list of broken but it doesn't seem to work because of other app dependencies. Thanks again for any apt advice. -Aaron

iMac 5,1 does not load Lubuntu 22.04.2 LTS from hard disk

Hi,

I try to revitalize my iMac 5,1 (Late 2006 version, Model A1207, Order No. MA589xx, Intel Core 2 Duo) with Lubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.
I can start Lubuntu from USB, when adding "noefi nosplash nomodeset" to GRUB vie the "edit" function.
This way, I managed to instal Lubuntu on the harddisk of the iMac.

When starting Lubuntu from the harddisk, the start-up hangs at the command "loading initial ramdisk":


The following shows GRUB starting OK from USB:


When starting the iMac from the hard disk, I edited GRUB in the same way (as via USB) - but after that, the installation stalls:


Do you have an idea, what I am doing wrong here?
What should be entered in the GRUB menu to get the start-up from Harddisk run through without issues?

I am adding some hardware information about the CPU, if it helps.


Let me know, what else you need to analyse this issue.
I can extract data from the system, after booting via USB.

Thx in advance and best regards,
Jochen
