[ubuntu] Realvnc issue after upgrade

August 26, 2018, 8:42 am

I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04. I had realvnc server installed during the upgrade. Now when i reboot the system and try to connect with vncviewer i get a very tiny black window. When i expand the display it shows "Cannot show the display". Once i log in locally realvnc then works and i am able to connect. Not sure where to go to fix this issue to have it work after reboot like it was before in 16.04.


Thanks

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Blank Screen install

Hi all,

I am having difficult installing ubuntu. I created a bootable USB and cannot get past the GRUB menu when trying to install. If i select install or try ubuntu I am left with a blank screen. I have tried implementing nomodeset but it makes no different. I have also tried downloading the ISO file again and tried different USBs but end up with the same problem. My laptop currently has windows 10 which I am trying to replace with a clean Ubuntu install.

Any solutions?

thanks

at the end of the new of ubuntu 19 I got he message "grub-efi-amd64 signed not installed in /target". The same ocurred at the installation of the new Linux Mint. Is there somebody who can explain me the reason for that? My machine is a Dell optiplex 7010, which I shortly bought as used after a totally core-meltdown of my old computer during a hot summerday.
Thanks in advance for any answer.

[ubuntu] Why no 'merge' option with config files in upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 LTS?

This afternoon I ran the upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS on my network gateway machine. I was distracted during the upgrade procedure or I would have been smarter, but for three config files (sysctl.conf, named.conf and dhcpd.conf) I was prompted to keep or replace my local copies.
The upgrade procedure allows the user to see a diff (and on the basis of the diff I updated sysctl.conf and kept the other two files), but it does not allow the user to merge their local changes into the new file, which would have been a useful option I think.
Because overwriting the named and dhcpd configs would have led to a great deal of inconvenience I chose to keep them but I would now like to review the distro files and possibly edit my local copies. At least with sysctl.conf I can refer to my backups, but where does the upgrade process put the proffered versions of the config files when the user opts not to replace them?

cheers

I'm using my own mail server for incoming mail and use amazon as the outgoing mail server
I've configured postfix and amavis about four years ago and evertything has been working fine.
After upgrading the server to 18.10 LTS recently I found that I cannot send emails from a mail client to myself as the mail is no identifie as spam

It looked successful but near the end of install I got logged out couldn't log back in so waited for hard disk activity to end. then closed comp. I got grub but on load all I got was a black screen and no mouse pointer.

There were some errors speeding by one of couldn't load network manager, if that is important.

Is this a graphical issue or something more serious?

Helllpppp!! please.

I tried to start Network manager and got an error relating to this:

[ubuntu] My Windows Boot Manager is gone!

Hi all!

I am setting up a dual boot system (Win10 & Ubuntu) in a 2 year old desktop pc.
I had Windows 10 reinstalled just a couple days ago. In my 1 Tb HD.
Then I installed Ubuntu in my 120 Gb SSD.
Then Grub was not found, so it would boot straight to Windows 10. Which I was expecting.
Then I disabled fast startup in Windows 10, I forgot to disable fast boot in UEFI settings. I can't do the latter now because WBM is not available to boot from.
Then I used bcdedit to set a new entry for Ubuntu:
Code:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi
(I can't recall where I got it from, but here they have a very similar tutorial). I had used this trick before and it worked.
Then I rebooted, but instead of showing me Grub, it was a black screen with two lines of text:

"Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected device and press any key."

Then I went in the BIOS, and that's when I no longer saw Windows Boot Manager as an option!
I booted off from Boot Repair Disk, and supposedly fixed Grub, but I still can't see WBM, and even though I do see Ubuntu in Bios, it still yields the above line of text (Reboot and Select...). But BRD generated a report, here it is
Presently, and temporarily, I am only able to boot into Ubuntu or Windows 10 as long as I first boot off from a rEFInd Live USB drive. The rEFInd finds them both and allows me to choose.

Hopefully the BRD report can help you to see what's going on.
The way I see it, I need to either remake/repair the MBR for Win10, or have it in the right disk. Something along those lines, I guess.
I just don't know which should be the booting disk (sda1 ?).

For now, I'll try to disable fast boot in UEFI settings of Win10. I don't know if it'll work because that requires to reboot with Shift, and hope that it'll be back. Like I said, at the moment I can only load either OS with the rEFInd Live USB.

Thanks in advance!

Ubunto with W8.1 via a boot menu

Hi

I run an Acer E15 E5-521 65DE laptop that runs Windows 8.1 and uses UEFI. I want to be able to dual boot via a menu (grub?) so I can select which OS to start at boot time. The hard disk is partitioned into two main sections and I wish to use space on the D:/ drive for Ubuntu. Or would I be better off using a 64GB USB SDXC memory card? What steps do I have to take to enable that and set up Ubuntu 18.04? I have an ISO of Ubuntu but the Windows 8.1 was ore-installed so I do not have an ISO for that.
I am not familiar with settings in a UEFI system so clear steps would be much appreciated, please?

Could you please explain to me how to answer the question in the Gnome Extension web site when the drop down menu asks for the extension number.

I am installing GSConnect. To dL the first question is Shell version which in my case 3.28.3. On answering the first question it then asks for the extension version and gives me two choices 11 and 12. How do I find which is the correct version to choose?

I have looked at the directions for upgrading from LTS to LTS but in my case I have Server installed (first) because I wanted mdadm for RAID and then installed Desktop for the GUI. Given I have both, should I follow the Desktop directions for the upgrade or Server? Or is there a different path I need to follow? It is, of course, critical that my RAID set up not be upset. Thank you for any advice the community can give.

dual boot no longer working after crash

Here is my boot-repair info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p9hPH8FvfK/

I had my system dual boot working like a charm. One 2TB disk.
- 300 GB partition for windows 10
- 175 GB partition for ubutu 18.04
- the rest an ntfs partition for shared data between the 2 os's

I had disabled Fast Startup in Windows 10 already (maybe some windows update turned it back on without me knowing?)

Windows and Ubuntu were installed with UEFI boot, grub would always load up and default to Ubuntu.

Today, a game froze on the Windows OS. I did a hard restart and now the system will not boot.

It goes to a "EFI Shell Version" info screen.

Starting up my live session ubuntu via dvd drive, boot-repair fails with an error:
- GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag).
However, I don't want bios mode booting.. I want EFI back.

I tried to repair windows with the windows installation DVD, but it just says 'Cannot repair windows'.

I notice in the boot-repair info from the pastebin above, it says:
- Grub-efi would not be selected by default because: no-win-efi
So is this because efi booting is all messed up for my windows installation? Is there a way to fix this other than reinstalling windows?

Thank you for any help you can give

[ubuntu] Several upgrade paths blocked

Hello,

My wife's laptop is still running 14.04; it might be a good idea to upgrade. But I have 3 issues:
- the update manager, even if I run it with -d parameter, doesn't offer the next LTS (I guess this is because we somehow skipped 16.04);
- (in case of reinstall) the laptop (a Dell XPS 13) now refuses to boot from USB (though it did before). Maybe it doesn't like the bootable USB stick created with another PC, but then...
- its own USB disk creator fails to complete. After pointing it to the desired ISO, it gives an error message telling that it cannot create the USB stick.

Now, I know these are different issues, but it's almost checkmate here. What would be my best option? I know that the upgrade can be triggered from the command line, but I have never tried that.

I would rather not break anything, so any insight welcome. Regards, Daniel

[ubuntu] apt upgrade stuck during install (not during download)

I'm actually shocked I have never seen this before, but I'm wondering what the procedure should be to get it fixed. There were some pretty critical packages in this upgrade, so I'm a little concerned. After performing an upgrade, the install hung. I was unable to kill the process with ctrl-c, but the system functions. I'm just wondering what I can do at this point to minimize damage.

The system hung during the install at 97% while it was performing the following:

[lubuntu] wifi network not detected during installation on GPD

I have a GPD pocket PC. I use to run Ubuntu 16.04 on it without any major hassle, but then I upgraded to 18.04 and the orientation no longer works.
I thought I might try Lubuntu instead, since the issue is with Gnome.

While installing Lubuntu the following message appears:
"Attempting to find an available wireless network failed.

w1p1s0 is a wireless network interface. Please enter the name (the ESSID) of the wireless
network you would like w1p1s0 to use. To connect to any available network, leave this field blank

Wireless ESSID for w1p1s0:
VM999999"

When using Ubuntu the Wifi is detected automatically without any issues.
All my other gadgets detect the Wifi.

Any idea why Lubuntu fails to detect and what I can do about it?

Dual Booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu

I have tried quite a few different combinations of partitions from online tutorials on the "Something Else" menu when trying to install Ubuntu and so far none of them seem to work. Each one results in the following error message when the installation program tries to install the GRUB2 Package: "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into / target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot."

I have tried using both RUFUS and Universal USB Installer to put the disc image of Ubuntu onto a pen drive which I have been using to try and install the operating system.

My BIOS mode is Legacy.

The partitions I set up when installing Ubuntu:
  • 21GB, Primary, Beginning of this space, Ext4, Mount Point: "/"
  • 33GB, Logical, Beginning of this space, swap area
  • 46GB, Primary, Beginning of this space, Ext4, Mount Point: "/home"


The partitions I have before I attempt installation:
  • 100MB, NTFS, Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)
  • 830.72GB, NTFS, Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
  • 100.69GB, Unallocated


I am beyond confused as to which partitions I should use, especially since I can only use up to four primary partitions (I already have two used for Windows 10). Does anyone have any suggestions as to which partitions to use?

gnome flashback doesn't come up after 16.04 to 18.04 upgrade

I just upgraded to 18.04. At the login screen I can select gnome flashback (compiz), and synaptic says that gnome-sessions-flashback is installed, but when I login, I just get the new gnome interface. Can someone demystify me?
