¿Y necesitas esa versión concreta por algún motivo? Quizá en la lista

¿Y cuál es el problema, exactamente? Si puedes enviar a la lista el

No, grub-pc is not the legacy version of grub, it is grub2 for legacy
computers without EFI.  The version of grub2 for modern UEFI systems is
grub-efi-amd64 which uses the framebuffer set up by the system's
firmware (hence, no traditional text mode).

At this apoint you might want to query your monitor for the resolution 
used, might be helpful in case you want to configure grub with a known 
working resolution (as per other suggestions).

Maybe changing some BIOS setting could help.

The suggestion to try a live image is also good.

As far as I know the Debian Installer is using very basic VGA graphics, 
for maximum compatibility, so result might be different than a full live 
system.

Kind regards,

Did you take the old card out and then reboot and save the CMOS settings?
Then put the new card in and ditto?

(I have in the long distant past had trouble swapping/moving cards
around when making too many changes in one step.)

OTOH this could be just a cargo-cult suggestion.

Re: acpi bios error: could not resolve symbol in Tuxedo Aura 15

2020-12-26 Thread Василий В
Hello Rainer!
I assume bios just doesn't support some functions that kernel is
trying to query.  You could try to update bios, if possible. But as
you say you don't see any real problems, maybe it's better not to fix
something that is working already. I get similar messages on boot
(Debian Buster), but in fact everything works perfectly.

It's almost certainly as up-to-date as it gets. This is a Sabertooth X58
motherboard, and is no longer receiving BIOS updates; its most recent
available BIOS update is dated 2012, and since I have a copy of the
downloadable file for that update in one of my archive directories with
a timestamp from 2014, if it's not long-since installed I'd be rather
surprised.

Honestly I'd like to run on a newer motherboard, but it hasn't been
worth trying to dig up one that's newer enough and has as many ports
(primarily SATA ports) as I need and still supports the CPU socket of
the existing CPU. Eventually I'll build a new system, but that's been
being postponed for some years now.

Reasonable. In my case, I have a Core i7 990x Extreme, which cost me
$1050 brand-new; it may turn out to be the bottleneck with the new GPU,
but the resulting performance should still be better than what I've got,
and at least the game should actually be willing to *launch*.

Thanks for the input, regardless of whether it winds up helping.

One I built from parts back when the 6870 was still in the sweet spot of
price vs. performance, with then-outsize specs in other regards,
including what was at the time the top-end non-server CPU in the world.
It's fallen well behind that standard, but is still far from the
bottleneck in my system.

The motivation for the GPU upgrade is that the card I have seems to be
literally the last model made that doesn't support the required baseline
for a game I've seen recommended. Based on the most recent
Linux-including reviews as of the time I made the choice, the 5700 seems
to be the current best option in terms of price vs. (performance /

OK, that makes sense. I just wanted to ask because I was once in a similar

I know it says grub-pc only, but all mine are uncommented. And, all mine are on
UEFI installations. All my legacy BIOS installations boot from a custom 
partition
with Grub Legacy, which is used to boot every installation on the disk. It may 
be
that what it really means is: not arm*, not sparc, not mips, not ppc

One I built from parts back when the 6870 was still in the sweet spot of
price vs. performance, with then-outsize specs in other regards,
including what was at the time the top-end non-server CPU in the world.
It's fallen well behind that standard, but is still far from the
bottleneck in my system.

The motivation for the GPU upgrade is that the card I have seems to be
literally the last model made that doesn't support the required baseline
for a game I've seen recommended. Based on the most recent
Linux-including reviews as of the time I made the choice, the 5700 seems
to be the current best option in terms of price vs. (performance /
future-proofing).

I'm not a hardware expert but I found the following on Internet:

PCIe 4.0 is backwards-compatible (down to at least PCIe 3.0, possibly  
further).



 - BIOS Support - Dual UEFI - I'm not sure what this means but is it
possible this card not to be supported by non-UEFI systems ?


(Unsure on this)

[...]

I have a RadeonPro W5500 which is also too new, to be supported on Debian  
stable out of the box. What I did to get it running for basic 2D  
graphics (enough for me most of the time) was to install the following  
packages from debian-backports:


* linux-image-5.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
* firmware-amd-graphics

Additionally, I tried to enable amdgpu in xorg.conf, although I am not sure  
whether that is actually needed:


$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection

This system is using UEFI to boot and I do not recall having the same issue  
(black screen) even before, though.


Here are some other suggestions:

As you mentioned GRUB not loading correctly, could there perhaps be an  
explicit graphics resolution configuration entry? I do not have any special  
configuration enabled there:


$ grep -E '(GFXMODE|TERMINAL)' /etc/default/grub
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

Apart from a live system, it could already be helpful to boot a Debian  
installer to see if it can load a Linux if GRUB is not invovled. If that  
works (i.e. presents language selection screen), checking with a live system  
seems to be a reasonable next step.


If you need the 3D accelleration performance (why buy an RX 5700 if not?),  
I'd suggest to setup a Debian testing environment for that. I managed to get  
some (fast enough for me) 3D accelleration working by creating a Debian  
sid chroot (testing did not have some dependencies I needed) and I can use  
it by logging in through TTY2 -> chroot -> startx. BUT: Please note that  
this setup is brittle -- dual-boot or testing-only configurations can be  
expected to run _more stable_ in this scenario :)

That's a good suggestion, except I don't see any way to do that in the
/etc/default/grub I have.

The closest thing I see is

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

but that says it's for grub-pc only, i.e. the "legacy" version of grub,
whereas I'm running grub2.

A bit of Googling suggests that

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

also supports a value of 'text' rather than a FOOxBAR resolution, but I
don't see that documented anywhere yet.

I don't expect such a change to be particularly risky, but I imagine if
I do somehow fail to boot after making it (e.g. if I specify a setting
that isn't actually supported), the solution would involve a live-boot
environment and possibly chrooting into the installed system.

> While in /etc/default/grub, if splash=silent is included, either

It isn't.

From the little I've read up on regarding this in the meantime, I'd
expect this splash setting to be only regarding the post-GRUB-menu boot
process, which is beyond the point I've reached. For what it's worth,
I've long since intentionally disabled all "quiet" boot settings I'm
aware of.

I'm not even getting to the GRUB command line; the hang is happening
before GRUB displays anything at all.

I may try specifying a resolution such as this to GRUB_GFXMODE, but I'm
not entirely certain that's relevant to the behavior I'm seeing,
although it would be plausible for it to be so.

I'd consider these plausible enough to pursue, except for the fact that
(as noted above) I do get display output just fine during POST and in
the BIOS. If the slot interface weren't compatible, I'd expect to not
get any video output from the system at all.

"Dual UEFI" I don't remember seeing in regard to this device; I'm not
sure what it'd mean for a GPU. It's normally something I expect to see
for a motherboard, where it would mean that the device supports having
two different UEFIs in place at once, so you can flash a new one and
still have the old one to fall back to if the new one fails.

Hi,

I'm not a hardware expert but I found the following on Internet:

 - the interface for this card is PCI-Express 4.0 and I guess that your
old computer doesn't support that

 - BIOS Support - Dual UEFI - I'm not sure what this means but is it
possible this card not to be supported by non-UEFI systems ?

I'd find it very disappointing if hardware as recent as that would be
already considered too old to support satisfactorily.

I can understand that the developers may not want to spend much time
improving support for that hardware, but it should at least stay about
as good as it was in the past.

That's why it's important to report it.

No GRUB with brand-new GPU

2020-12-26 Thread The Wanderer
I have for some years been running Debian with an older model of AMD GPU
(Radeon HD 6870) for graphics.

I recently purchased a relatively recent model of GPU (Radeon RX 5700
XT), and today swapped it in and attempted to boot with it.

I was expecting to get no graphics support (e.g., X, et cetera) until
after adjusting some combination of installed driver- and
firmware-related packages, module-blacklist settings, boot-time options,
initrd state, GRUB configuration, and possibly other (again, e.g., X)
config files. I'm generally fine with wrangling that, and based on my
pre-swap research, was expecting to be able to get up and running with
the new GPU today.

What I got, instead, was not even that far.

With the new GPU in place, I get video output during POST and in the
BIOS (yes, this machine is old enough that it doesn't have a UEFI)
without problems. That demonstrates that the GPU isn't dead on arrival,
and that signal is getting through to the monitor on a basic level.

However, as soon as the machine tries to hand over control to the
bootloader, I get a hard freeze; the screen goes black (albeit I think
still with backlight), the keyboard light toggle keys stop responding,
and the GRUB menu never appears. Waiting a long time doesn't change
anything; even after roughly half an hour of waiting, pressing the Power
button once (no press-and-hold) shuts the system off immediately, which
indicates that the system hasn't progressed much (if at all) past early
boot.

Thus far, Google has not been helpful. I find plenty about black screens
after GRUB, but very little about before GRUB and after POST, and what
little I find is from other distros - some Ubuntu (earlier versions,
mostly 2010-era), some Arch, some RHEL - which don't necessarily handle
either graphics drivers or GRUB in a way that will let their directions
reliably translate to Debian.


Any suggestions for what to try?

I'm back up now with the old GPU, since researching this on my
smartphone was going nowhere. I've dug into /etc/grub* and /boot/
looking for anything which seemed related, with no promising hits yet.

Barring other discoveries, my current next step is to dig up a suitably
recent Debian-based live-boot environment, boot to that, and see what it
does. If it gives me usable graphics, I want to see what it's doing at
bootloader time, and what parts I might be able to transpose into my
primary install.

However, given that live-boot setups don't always handle the early parts
of boot the same way as hard-drive installs do, I'm not positive this
will be fruitful. Also, given how relatively new this card is, I'm not
sure I'll be able to find a suitable environment which does work with it
to the level I need.

It might turn out to be pointless. Users of older hardware, particularly 
Southern
Islands and Sea Islands users, seem to get short shrifted with disappointing

De reden dat /bin/sh naar dash verwijst, en niet naar bash, is omdat:

- dash sneller opstart,
- je als je /bin/sh zegt, je alleen commando's zou mogen gebruiken die
  effectief door POSIX als onderdeel van de sh interface gedefinieerd is
  en er dus geen verschil zou mogen zijn,

Het gebruik van bash-specifieke functies in een /bin/sh script is niet
portable. Op elk systeem dat een andere shell gebruikt dan bash als
/bin/sh zal dat niet werken.

FreeBSD heeft in de default configuratie bijvoorbeeld bash zelfs niet
geïnstalleerd staan.

Op macOS is de default shell lang bash geweest, maar dat is nooit
geüpgradet geweest toen bash naar GPLv3 gegaan is (dus de default bash
op macOS is nu wel *heel* erg oud), en ze zijn daar recent op zsh
overgestapt.

Het "probleem" dat /bin/sh niet bash is, is dus zeker niet
Debian-specifiek.

Bij Debian is op een bepaald moment de symlink van bash naar dash
verplaatst geweest. Dat is expliciet gelimiteerd op de versie-overgang
waarbij dat aangezet is. Het is dus maar één keer, en het terugzetten is
ook een ondersteunde configuratie (i.e., als je dat nodig hebt mag je
het gewoon doen).

Reenable Secure Boot - Debian 10 should be able to boot with Secure Boot now.

How was Windows installed initially - if it was installed in UEFI mode and you 
are attempting to boot Debian in legacy mode, it will fail and 
vice versa.

What had you installed previously using Grub? 

Are you booting from a USB stick?

How did you write the Debian image to the USB stick?

Do you know what firmware your system is likely to need?

Getting a Windows system to dual boot Debian is (relatively) straightforward 
but knowing the answer to some of the above questions
may help us narrow down useful suggestions as to what to try next.

All the very best, as ever,

Problems with loadlin.exe

2020-12-26 Thread shadowmaker

Hello everybody:
I am new to this forum, but not to GNU/Linux. I am in a Windows 10 
Machine with an AMD x64 architecture. I am unable to install from a 
distro image (firmware-10.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso) because loadlin.exe is 
not working anymore in my OS. I want to dual boot the computer, but I am 
not sure of how to do it. I tried installing the OS from the USB. 
Everything was OK, but the system didn't boot... It was weird because I 
solved all the problems that it gave to me: a problem loading "uefi:db 
x.509 certificate (-65)" that was fixed by disabling Fast Boot and 
Secure Boot (it is impossible to use Legacy mode in new computers). 
There was a problem with IOMMU that was fixed disabling it too. Now I 
want to try to install it from the Windows system to avoid the weird 
problems it gave because of GRUB (I had GRUB already installed and it 
conflict somehow with the other installed by Debian).

Please, help me!!!
Thanks in advance ;)

(Neo)Vim can take advantage of such facilities, e.g. to change the

This is not 100% clear. For one, some terminal emulators do have escape
sequences to change "cursor style" on the fly (xterm [1], among others),
so a terminal-based application /could/ try to make use of that, for the
other, your app might be a graphical app (nano is not, but that has to
be established in the first place), then all bets are off.

Gràcies, Jordi

Això seria equivalent (si es volgués fes que al canvi arribés a
tothom) que canviar els valors associats a %b (mesos abreujats).
No m'agrada perquè trenca l'alineament amb el CLDR i perquè canvia les
abreviatures dels mesos que s'usen arreu.
Té el punt positiu (el gran pro) que facilita la presentació en
columnes en els programes de terminal, cert.

Aprofito i amplio la solució per a "date" que he comentat en el correu anterior.

En el mateix fitxer "/usr/share/i18n/locales/ca_ES" que es comenta més
amunt, caldria canviar la línia:

d_t_fmt"%A, %-d %B de %Y, %T %Z"

I posar-hi:
d_t_fmt"%A, %-d %B de %Y, %T"
date_fmt   "%A, %-d %B de %Y, %T %Z

Això és, es treu la zona horària de la variable d_t_fmt, i es defineix
una nova variable date_fmt que és la que usa "date".

Es guarden els canvis i, en el meu cas, sortir del shell no ha estat
suficinet, m'ha calgut tornar a generar el locale:
locale-gen

I ara date ja mostra la data correctament.

Faig una última reflexió sobre aquest fil.

La meva intenció en obrir el fil era fer-vos arribar la solució al
problema de «ls -l» que no té res a veure amb el canvi dels mesos del
català. És un problema que em estar tocant molt els nassos i a l'estiu
hi vaig dedicar una estona fins que vaig comprendre per què fallava
«ls -l». I vaig tenir el problema diagnosticat i reportat vaig poder
dormir tranquil. Havia ajudat amb un gra de serro a millorar Debian.
Fins que vaig veure que la causa del problema amb "date" era
completament diferent, ;)

El tema del canvi dels mesos és completament diferent. S'han trencat
coses? Sí. Però permeteu-me que deixí el tema de les abreviatures dels
mesos aquí. Portem un munt de missatges i hi ha arguments a favor i en
contra de les abreviatures actuals. Dubto que ens posem d'acord.
Prefereixo gaudir de les vacances de Nadal amb la família, :)

Dit tot això, retorno al meu "mode ràdio" habitual en la llista.
Gràcies a tothom pels comentaris i aportacions.

Bones Festes!
Joan Montané



Re: Format de data incorrecte de «ls -l»

2020-12-26 Thread Jordi Pujol
Hola,

feu un cop d'ull a aquestes ordres, la sol.lució fàcil és modificar el
locale ca_ES
Aquestes ordres son part d'un script molt llarg però en resum es fa:

# patch ca_ES locale
sed -i.bak -e '/^ab_alt_mon/,/^[^ ]/ {/"de /s//"/g
/"d/s//"/g }' \
-e '/^abmon/,/^[^ ]/ {/"de /s//"/g
/"d/s//"/g }' \
-e '/\bfebr[.]/s//feb./' \
-e '/\bag[.]/s//ago./' \
"/usr/share/i18n/locales/ca_ES"

update-locales

Salut,

Jo participo al CLDR aportant-hi dades, però no vaig demanar aquesta
funcionalitat. Els camps van aparèixer a la base de dades i els
col·laboradors els vam anar omplint. Habitualment els col·laboradors
per al català al CLDR som: un representant d'Apple, un representant de
Google, un representant de Microsoft i algun participant individual,
com jo mateix. El pes del vot dels col·laboradors individuals és molt
més petit que els dels membres d'Unicode. Curiosament, el cas català
ja apareixia en la documentació [1]. Interpreto que alguna de les
grans corporacions anteriors (membres de pes a d'Unicode) és qui ho va
promoure.

Estic d'acord amb tu en què hi ha feina de corregir problemes, i que
potser no es va preveure el cas de programes que usen fonts
monoespaiades i presenten el contingut en format taula. Caldria haver
fet un repàs més exhaustiu, especialment quan el canvi pot (i de fet
ho fa) trencar alguna cosa.

La comunitat d'usuaris també podem ajudar-hi. Per exemple, el problema
de l'ordre "mes dia" del "ls -l" no té res a veure amb el canvi de les
abreviatures, i portem mínim des de stretch. Han passat 10 anys fins
que algú s'ho ha mirat amb "carinyo", i això que afecta un munt de
llengües, no només el català! Sí, ja sé que tots tenim temps limitat,
però 10 anys ho trobo exagerat.

Ara que he remirat els apunts de quan em vaig mirar el tema de "ls
-l", hi ha un tema similar, però que té una causa diferent (tampoc
relacionada amb el canvi en les abreviatures dels mesos). L'ordre
"date" a buster mostra primer el mes i després el dia del mes. Per
què? Perquè al locale manca la variable date_fmt [2]. Interpreto que
en algun moment "date" va passar d'usar "d_t_fmt" a usar "date_fmt",
la informació no va arribar als mantenidors dels locales i ja tenim el
problema.

El tema és que les dades del locale no només s'usen des de programes
de terminal. S'usen en tot el sistema. Potser m'equivoco, però la
tendència és anar cap a interfícies gràfiques amb finestres i botons,
i també missatges de veu sintetitzats a partir
