[17:36] <CIA-7> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1427 ubuntu/ (5 files in 2 dirs): Move to 2.6.38-7 kernels.
[20:10] <_robbat2|irssi> despite my cloak, i am poking installing Ubuntu on some gear, and despite being in the expert mode, I cannot find how to do something I want
[20:10] <_robbat2|irssi> specifically, on some new Dell servers, I want GPT instead of the msdos partition table
[20:17] <charlie-tca> _robbat2|irssi: I think you switch to a tty, using Alt+F2, and use either gparted or parted to create the partition table and partitions then. Use Alt+F1 or F7 to get back to the installer screen and continue the install
[20:21] <_robbat2|irssi> i'm doing it via install over SSH, so no Alt-F2
[20:22] <charlie-tca> someone will step up soon, to help. I don't really know how to do it over SSH
[20:22] <_robbat2|irssi> err, and efter execute shell, there's no gparted or parted binaries
[20:22] <_robbat2|irssi> just a weird parted_server
[20:23] <_robbat2|irssi> ISO it's booted on it the 10.04 LTS server
[20:24] <_robbat2|irssi> maybe i should just reboot this to Gentoo, partition and LVM all of it, then reboot back to the installer and just assign the partitions
[20:25] <_robbat2|irssi> similarly in your installer, no way to get binary SI units, it seems to be decimal units only
[23:32] <_robbat2|irssi> charlie-tca: for reference: expert mode, add the parted-udeb, then parted is available, and you can do it manually and drop back into the partitioning ncurses UI for doing RAID/LVM if you want
[23:38] <_robbat2|irssi> and now GRUB2 refuses to install, without much output from grub-install either
[23:39] <_robbat2|irssi> suggestions welcome, i'll read backlog in 12-16 hours
