[Touch-packages] [Bug 1931024] Re: BOOT fails on UEFI with 100MB initrd.img [Dell XPS 9550]

2021-07-26 Thread Domizio Demichelis
In my case it was random and appeared very recently. It would boot once
every 5-10 times.

The MODULE=dep seems to work so far.

Ubuntu 21.04 on Dell Precision 5750

Title:
  BOOT fails on UEFI with 100MB initrd.img [Dell XPS 9550]

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been working with a user for the last 2 days on a failure to even
  start the kernel when installing 20.04 or 21.04 (possibly other
  releases) with a UEFI boot.

  System is Dell XPS 9550 amd64 with Ubuntu Budgie.

  The symptom is that after GRUB successfully loads the kernel into RAM,
  it fails to return from loading the initrd into RAM. This was proved
  by adding guard 'echo' and 'sleep' around each stage n grub.cfg.

  After much investigation since this seemed initially related to a LUKS
  install I noticed the initrd.img files generated with MODULES=most are
  105MB. Most of that is unneeded firmware and other files so I changed
  to MODULES=dep. Resulting initrd.img's are around 55MB.

  System then boots correctly.

  This looks like a possible issue with the UEFI on these XPS models but
  as initrd.img sizes get ridiculously large this is likely to hit more
  systems and users.

  For several years I carry optimisation patches to initramfs-tools that
  don't add most firmwares except those specifically required (certainly
  not adding AMD GPU firmware when system has only Intel or Nvidia GPUs
  - and visa versa)

  My initrd.img's are a hybrid of MODULES=dep and result in less than
  20MB.

  My recommendation is to add optimisations to initramfs-tools or adopt
  MODULES=dep.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1682637] Re: during recovery mode, enable network failed due to /etc/resolv.conf not being present

2017-12-31 Thread Domizio Demichelis
None of the above worked here! Without the /etc/resolv.conf nothing
works obviously, then the dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf does nothing (i.e.
there is still no file after running it. Adding it manually solved a
part of the problem, but the Unknown group "power" still blocks starting
of the network. How to fix that one?

Bug description:
  Something went wrong that required me to boot to recovery mode via
  grub.  The important part here, is that while I got as far as the
  recovery screen asking to "Enable Networking" and other options fsck
  filesystems, drop to root shell, etc.

  and selected "Enable Networking":

  the result was:

  grep: /etc/resolv.conf: No such File or directory.

  Unknown group "power" in message bus configuration file.


  (Networking did not enable, leaving me stranded at root shell without
  network which would have made adding/removing packages to troubleshoot
  easier)
