| fsmithred | ok, that sounds right | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | you don't need to change anything | 00:00 |
| fsmithred | you'll also have to select/highlight the swap partition before you OK it. | 00:01 |
| spac3r | In Root Partition Choose a partition to use for the installation of the os i select the 2nd partition? 1st partition would be the 500 mb fat32 | 00:02 |
| fsmithred | you said the third partition was the big one. | 00:03 |
| fsmithred | 230 GB | 00:03 |
| fsmithred | 2nd partition you said is swap | 00:03 |
| spac3r | hmm it shows 2 partitions on ssd and 2 part. of the usb | 00:03 |
| fsmithred | what shows that? | 00:04 |
| fsmithred | were any of the ssd partitions mounted before you started the installer? | 00:04 |
| fsmithred | they should not be | 00:04 |
| spac3r | Root Partition in the Install Devuan. I booted Chaimaera as live-usb | 00:05 |
| fsmithred | yeah, you're running the live system to reinstall to the ssd. | 00:05 |
| fsmithred | The partitions on the ssd should not be mounted by you. The installer will mount them when it needs to. | 00:06 |
| fsmithred | I have to go eat dinner in a few minutes so we need to get to the end soon. | 00:06 |
| fsmithred | where are you now? | 00:06 |
| spac3r | on the desktop no ssd partitions, so seem not mounted | 00:06 |
| spac3r | thanks you for your time | 00:07 |
| spac3r | *thank | 00:07 |
| fsmithred | we're not done yet | 00:08 |
| fsmithred | did the installer get to copying files yet? | 00:09 |
| spac3r | could it be Install does not display swap partition. Also it doesn't display partition sizes | 00:10 |
| fsmithred | installer should show you the output of fdisk -l | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | or /sbin/fdisk -l | 00:11 |
| spac3r | I'm still at Root Partition : Choose a partition | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | use 'su -' to become root. Not just 'su' | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | ok | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | choose the big ;partition | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | if you told me the order correctly, that should be sda3 | 00:11 |
| fsmithred | open a terminal and run /sbin/fdisk -l | 00:12 |
| spac3r | fdisk -l partition 3 is the 230 Gb one and is not displayed in Root Partition window of Install Devua | 00:14 |
| fsmithred | are you saying that /dev/sda3 is not a choice in the installer popup window? | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | what choices does it give you for the root partition? | 00:15 |
| spac3r | wait it is nvm | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | oh right | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | it should show you the partitions | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | ...p3 | 00:15 |
| fsmithred | I forget how they get numbered | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | anyway, I have to go | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | good luck | 00:16 |
| fsmithred | if it's not showing the big partition as a choice for OS, then something is screwed up. | 00:16 |
| spac3r | p3 is the 230 GB, yes. Selecting and on to filesystem type: that would be ext4 | 00:17 |
| spac3r | Proceeding with installation | 00:17 |
| spac3r | 'p3 contains a ext4 file system. Proceed anyway?' It suggests N, but selecting yes is ok? | 00:20 |
| spac3r | At the popup window Install Bootloader. Press Install bootloader or Continue? | 00:27 |
| spac3r | Pressed Install bootloader, completed installation, off/on and... 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device...' | 00:32 |
| spac3r | This is tiring | 00:33 |
| spac3r | Intel Boot Agent PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable | 00:35 |
| spac3r | maybe it's a hardware problem | 00:35 |
| spac3r | PXE-E61 is an error related to the boot order of devices. SSD is 1, usb 2, network 3, so seems correct | 00:53 |
| fsmithred | give me a four-letter acronym for a boot type. Something we would select instead of intel-raid. | 01:07 |
| fsmithred | I think it starts with A | 01:07 |
| fsmithred | hard disk controller type? | 01:07 |
| fsmithred | spac3r, check bios settings for hard disks. Don't use the intel raid. | 01:08 |
| spac3r | fsmithred this is the Intel visual bios interface https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006028/intel-nuc.html i don't see boot type | 01:17 |
| fsmithred | AHCI <-- if there's a setting for that in the bios, choose it. | 01:20 |
| spac3r | In the Boot tab no AHCI setting | 01:30 |
| spac3r | There is the tab Boot, sub-tab Boot priority: Enabled: UEFI Boot ☑️ , Disabled: Fastboot, BIOS Setup auto-entry, boot usb devices first, Secure Boot | 01:31 |
| spac3r | ahci doesn't show up in the search bar of intel visual BIOS | 01:32 |
| fsmithred | ok, one more thing I can think of that might work. That's to install the bootloader to the removable media spot in the uefi.There's a config file setting for the installer. | 01:34 |
| spac3r | what are the steps for this? | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | if you know how to chroot into the installed system, you could do that and then run... | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | grub-install --force-extra-removable | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | or else reinstall after editing /etc/refractasnapshot.conf | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | # UEFI Removable Media Path | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | # Uncomment to force installation to the removable media path also. | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | # This option is only available on EFI. | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | # Default is commented out. | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | #media_opt="--force-extra-removable" | 01:37 |
| fsmithred | ok, electrical storm is headed this way. I'm going to shut down. | 01:38 |
| fsmithred | bbl if there's no tornado. | 01:38 |
| fsmithred | you would edit that config file in the live system (booted from usb again.) | 01:39 |
| spac3r | thank you and take care | 01:39 |
| fsmithred | or else boot the usb and chroot the system if you know how. | 01:39 |
| fsmithred | yw, bye | 01:39 |
| fsmithred | back | 01:57 |
| spac3r | i will setup chroot with these steps tmrw, https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-chroot-linux/ and try that grub-install --force-extra-removable. Thanks for now | 02:26 |
| fsmithred | shit | 02:48 |
| gnarface | i wish celsius had mentioned what it was | 02:48 |
| leafwiz | Hey there. I'm running unstable , and i get an error with the linux-headers. Trying to install them, due to an update | 20:39 |
| leafwiz | https://paste.debian.net/1276113/ | 20:40 |
| leafwiz | This is the output from apt install | 20:40 |
| leafwiz | Anyone seen that before? | 20:42 |
| buZz | did you Consult /var/lib/dkms/panda/0.0.1/build/make.log for more information. | 20:47 |
| buZz | what even is 'panda 0.0.1' | 20:47 |
| buZz | > panda is the nicest universal car interface ever. | 20:48 |
| buZz | aha | 20:48 |
| buZz | bit bizar to require a kernel module just for a USB rs485 bridge :P | 20:48 |
| buZz | leafwiz: wait, is your -car- running devuan unstable? :O :O | 20:49 |
| leafwiz | buZz: hehe.. Tempted to say yes there, but no. Its my laptop. | 20:50 |
| buZz | ok, and what does dkms log tell you? | 20:50 |
| buZz | i bet that 'panda 0.0.1' just wasnt updated for your newer kernel version | 20:51 |
| leafwiz | https://paste.debian.net/1276114/ | 20:51 |
| leafwiz | Sure, yeah. I would think so to | 20:51 |
| buZz | maybe time to grab any newer version? :) | 20:52 |
| buZz | or just remove it, if you dont need it | 20:52 |
| leafwiz | yeah, I don't need panda anymore. So I could just remove it | 20:52 |
| leafwiz | So how can I remove this module? | 20:53 |
| leafwiz | The panda | 20:53 |
| buZz | eh, i bet my route would be ; chmod a-x /var/lib/dkms/panda/ | 20:53 |
| buZz | :P | 20:53 |
| leafwiz | Jupp just rm -rf it. All good now. | 20:56 |
| leafwiz | Lovely | 20:56 |
| leafwiz | Now on to get my samba share mounted. | 20:56 |
| systemdlete | USB3 seems to require iommu=on -- is that enabled by default, or do I need to add this to my boot line? Also, I get these messages while booting (sorry for a bit of channel spam): | 23:34 |
| systemdlete | [ 0.614344] iommu: Default domain type: Translated | 23:34 |
| systemdlete | [ 1.232287] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 functionality not available on this system - This is not a bug | 23:34 |
| systemdlete | Does this indicate I do, indeed, have iommu support? | 23:35 |
| systemdlete | (sorry, not sure where to get info on this. Web searches so far only.) | 23:35 |
| systemdlete | biosdecode did not tell me about usb, so I shutdown and went to the bios settings. I tried enabling xhci handoff--is that a bad thing to do for linux users generally? But anyway, I still don't have usb3 here. | 23:37 |
| systemdlete | And I tried plugging several different usb devices into the usb3 port(s). No luck so far. | 23:37 |
| systemdlete | Some posts I read indicate that SOME people are getting usb3, others not. | 23:38 |
| systemdlete | I should add that these usb3 ports are onboard (Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P. Yeah, I know. Kinda old. But that's me :) ) | 23:40 |
| systemdlete | I also have a usb3 addon mounted in the front of my box. It connects to that weird, larger usb connector on the mainboard. | 23:40 |
| buZz | i thought iommu was just needed for the tb3 stuff on usb3? not sure | 23:40 |
| systemdlete | Those don't work either, though. | 23:40 |
| buZz | havent had any issues with usb3 not working on any machine thusfar | 23:41 |
| systemdlete | You must be one of those lucky ones like the ones in the posts. | 23:43 |
| buZz | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 23:45 |
| buZz | i dont typically buy new hw to begin with :D | 23:45 |
| systemdlete | This board is only a few years old in terms of tech. It is AMD with a FX8350 8 core, 32GB of DDR3. (And, yeah, I know all the kewl kids have DDR5 so what's wrong with YOU?) | 23:47 |
| debdog | I have append = "intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" for iommu. that was for qemu regarding GPU and _not_ USB. so I suppose one has to enable it | 23:47 |
| systemdlete | since this is AMD, though, I doubt that will help in my case, right? | 23:47 |
| debdog | IIRC there is something similar for AMD | 23:48 |
| buZz | systemdlete: i'm using DDR2 | 23:48 |
| buZz | :) | 23:48 |
| systemdlete | ALL RIGHT! You be really cool man! | 23:48 |
| buZz | lol | 23:48 |
| systemdlete | Old hardware rocks! | 23:48 |
| buZz | at least not pressured by 'advancements' | 23:49 |
| debdog | or, iommu_intel is for AMD as well (as amd64 is for intel as well) | 23:49 |
| systemdlete | Oh, yes, those "improvements." Like the 5 Eyes/NSA backdoors and such. | 23:49 |
| debdog | amd_iommu=on | 23:50 |
| systemdlete | debdog, thanks. I will try that. | 23:50 |
| systemdlete | but, sadly, I will have to shut down and reboot to do that. | 23:50 |
| debdog | that is correct :) | 23:51 |
| systemdlete | debdog: Will that give me USB3? Or is that just how to fully enable IOMMU? | 23:51 |
| systemdlete | (if you know) | 23:52 |
| debdog | no clue. I just know I need this for GPU passthrough in qemu | 23:52 |
| systemdlete | right. | 23:52 |
| systemdlete | ok | 23:52 |
| systemdlete | see y'all in a bit, unless anyone else has any last bits of advice for me in pursuing USB3 | 23:52 |
| systemdlete | (USB3 has been around for, what, 10+ years, and I'm still trying to make it work here. Geeeps.) | 23:53 |
| debdog | it worked for me OOTB on any hardware so far. mayhap you're overthinking it? | 23:54 |
| buZz | systemdlete: are you sure the kernel you are running even has the right xhci drivers? | 23:54 |
| systemdlete | overthinking? overthinking what? | 23:54 |
| systemdlete | buZz, I am running the stock kernel that comes with chimaera, updated accordingly. | 23:55 |
| buZz | but dmesg | grep xhci shows nothing? | 23:55 |
| systemdlete | yeah, shows nothing | 23:55 |
| buZz | or lsusb isnt showing usb3 hubs? | 23:55 |
| buZz | bizar | 23:55 |
| systemdlete | lsusb does not show usb3 hubs. no | 23:55 |
| buZz | i guess its just too new a chipset | 23:55 |
| systemdlete | VL805? | 23:55 |
| buZz | first googlehit on VL805 is ~7 year old issues with usb3 not working | 23:56 |
| buZz | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214293 | 23:56 |
| systemdlete | kernel is 5.10.0-21-amd64 | 23:56 |
| systemdlete | buZz, yeah I saw that. I assumed that it had been handled by now. | 23:57 |
| buZz | ah hehe , their suggestion there is 'dont use native iommu' :D | 23:57 |
| systemdlete | link please? | 23:57 |
| buZz | 23:56:44 < buZz> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214293 | 23:57 |
| systemdlete | oh nvm | 23:57 |
| buZz | :) | 23:57 |
| systemdlete | (the links show up in light green and I don't see green or red too well) | 23:58 |
| systemdlete | they also want me to disable iommu | 23:58 |
| systemdlete | and I note that many people (in the posts) say that setting iommu=soft did not help them | 23:58 |
| buZz | > I managed to fix the issue by updating the firmware (using a proprietary software in Windows) of the VL805. | 23:59 |
| buZz | hehe | 23:59 |
| buZz | systemdlete: you could get a extra usb3 card that -does- work well perhaps? :P | 23:59 |
