| Ilario | Hi all! | 17:51 |
|---|---|---|
| Ilario | Today I tried to install Trusty daily on my laptop and on my tower pc. On laptop no problem, on tower the boot process of the live usb (made using unetbootin) hangs. | 17:52 |
| Ilario | You can see the tower pc specifications here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1266807 | 17:55 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1266807 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "[NV44] Glitches in dash with GeForce 6200 SE TurboCache" [Low,Triaged] | 17:55 |
| CarlFK | Ilario: did you try the (i forget the exact terms) fail safe boot modes? | 17:55 |
| infinity | Ilario: Try to dd the iso to the stick instead of using a fancy tool. | 17:56 |
| Ilario | @CarloFK, ok I'm going to try | 17:56 |
| Ilario | fancy tool? Unetbootin? Ok... | 17:57 |
| infinity | Ilario: "sudo dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdd BS=4M" | 17:57 |
| infinity | Where sdd is your USB stick... | 17:57 |
| infinity | Err, and bs, not BS. | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | bs rather than BS, I think .. | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | yeah :) | 17:57 |
| infinity | My fingers hate me today. | 17:57 |
| infinity | We really should do a sweep of all USB media creation tools in the archive and add a simple "if not trying to do fancy things like persistence && image is Ubuntu; then just use dd; fi" | 17:59 |
| infinity | (And, of course, actually fix whatever they do wrong some day too, but given that 99% of people just want a dd image anyway...) | 17:59 |
| Ilario | lol, btw ok, I'm going to overwrite my usb key with dd, then I'll try again | 17:59 |
| Ilario | (btw some days ago the daily + unetbootin worked) | 18:00 |
| ogra_ | infinity, the one that did exactly that was ripped out last cycle (usb-imagewriter) | 18:00 |
| Ilario | In the meanwhile, another question: could the installer install also some ugly but useful package like "linux-firmware-nonfree" when the user checks "Install this third party software" during the installation? | 18:04 |
| Ilario | (and also some java plugin for firefox?) | 18:05 |
| Ilario | and another question: shouldn't "account-plugin-irc" be installed by default as it is required to ask for help here? | 18:11 |
| Ilario | Ok, the usb key made with dd hangs in the same way as did the one made with unetbootin: | 18:21 |
| Ilario | [5....] Switching to clocksource tsc | 18:21 |
| Ilario | [17...] random: nonblocking pool in initialized | 18:22 |
| Ilario | then nothing | 18:22 |
