Thank you @Thomas Schmitt (scdbackup) & @sudodus Using today's Lubuntu groovy ISO 2020.10.12, I ran (based on @sudodus' comment #15) -- #!/bin/bash original=groovy-desktop-amd64.iso test -f test_mbr.iso && rm test_mbr.iso xorriso \ -indev "$original" \ -outdev test_mbr.iso \ -boot_image any replay \ -boot_image any appended_part_as=gpt \ -boot_image any mbr_force_bootable=on -- to create new 'test_mbr.iso'. It was written with `sudo dd if=test_mbr.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M oflag=sync
it booted fine on (not impacted by this bug) hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600) dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt) (it appeared to boot slow on 755-8 or 2nd 755, but subjective) dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350) HOWEVER it did NOT boot on hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290) hp dc7900 (c2d-e8400, 4gb, intel 4 series integrated i915) Please feel free to verify what I did & highlight any mistakes. (keep instruction dead-simple for me please) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899308 Title: failure to boot groovy daily (again) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1899308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
