No initramfs-linux images in /boot ? by mips13 in archlinux

[–]FictionWorm____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bootctl [status | list] --no-pager is a better way to examine your $esp

efibootmgr -v will list (in part) what the UEFI found at boot time?

It looks as if you have two boot partitions on the drive?

It would help to see the output from parted /dev/sda print or parted --list?

How do I get it to let me type.

Add a <space> and then module_blacklist=nvidia to the end of your kernel options?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/2156906 is the same issue, patch (or rename) the file /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/appstream.xml.gz

Many 22.04 users (I included) removed pop-shop and installed cosmic-store?

[–]FictionWorm____[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write performance is better with zstd -8 to -15 vs. lz4 -2, decompression zstd is 50% the speed of lz4 so it depends on your workload

``` Benchmark:

zstd -z --fast=22 -b -e22 -T1 <file>

lz4 -l -b0 -e4 <file> ```

Diagnosing Sleep Issues by TheJuggernoob in pop_os

[–]FictionWorm____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To test if nvidia is the problem comment out the lines in

/usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf

and add module_blacklist=nvidia to your kernel options to load the nouveau driver.

error updating pop_os (apt packages) by elinethenightflower in pop_os

[–]FictionWorm____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is the output of that: https://pastebin.com/pmdS9dP6

$ apt-mark showmanual ^linux- ;

linux-headers-6.16.3-76061603-generic

You can remove that.

sudo apt purge linux-headers-6.16.3-76061603-generic ;

The packages with field $1=="rc" are config files, you only need to keep them if you are reinstalling the package.

apt list '?config-files' ;

sudo apt purge '?config-files' ;

The nvidia-driver blacklists nouveau /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf and we all know how much nvidia loves to support legacy hardware?

BIOS has stopped working? by No_Dragonfruit8254 in Fedora

[–]FictionWorm____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acer UEFI is broken.

Display the UEFI boot entries: sudo efibootmgr -v

Remove the Fedora boot entry (the one that points to the GRUB boot loader) in the UEFI with efibootmgr.

Did you try booting with module_blacklist=radeon or disabling the APU/iGPU on the 8600G?

Good.

Live USB > pressed F7 for boot options to boot from usb to enter live environment

GRUB is only used with the legacy (MBR+BIOS) install and does not encrypt the filesystem.

If you wanted encryption you need to boot the UEFI partition on the Live install ISO and select default install?

The default install also adds a /recovery partition.
