Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | not more of a hack than adding a partition for MBR though | 15:19:16 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | nevermind it didn't | 15:20:34 |
Alison Jenkins | not got full context on the convo but it should just use the EFI executable not the MBR | 15:21:06 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | and what do I set as the device? | 15:21:54 |
lassulus | usually disko sets the devices for you if you have EF02 partitions, otherwise you can set it to [ "nodev" ] | 15:22:40 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | ah oke, I'll try that | 15:23:25 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I don't have any EF02 partitions, and my question is if that's required even with EFI, to be clear | 15:25:01 |
lassulus | no they are only needed for MBR | 15:29:48 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | nodev worked fine :) | 15:30:18 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | but now uuuuhh | 15:30:20 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | it's still booting using systemd-boot somehow lol | 15:30:27 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I was pretty sure I had deleted the efi executables | 15:30:38 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | unless the thing that's being booted is EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI | 15:32:00 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | oooh, I forgor to canTouchEfiVariables | 15:32:42 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | that explains part of that lol | 15:32:48 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I think I might have to trigger this manually now 🤔 | 15:37:06 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | grub-install says it's needed for anything with RAID | 15:44:03 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | time to reinstall 😅 | 15:44:11 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ |  Download sigh | 16:02:36 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | maybe I should just give up on this and give in to lennart | 16:07:06 |
lassulus | seems the installer was booted without efi? | 16:14:53 |
lassulus | like with MBR? | 16:14:56 |
Alison Jenkins | Sylvie (any) 🏳️⚧️: go in your UEFI's config and make sure that CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is disabled | 16:15:40 |
Alison Jenkins | might be forcing you over to the old MBR based booting | 16:16:19 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | 🤔 | 16:16:43 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'll check | 16:16:45 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | but like | 16:16:50 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | idk, I feel like giving up by now | 16:17:12 |
Alison Jenkins | Sylvie (any) 🏳️⚧️: maybe take a break from it then for now and do something else. You have been at it a while based on the chat history | 16:17:36 |
Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I don't actually know if this device even supports MBR booting | 16:17:59 |
