| nhaines | Is it? | 02:22 |
| DonkeyHotei | yep | 02:23 |
| nhaines | It was fine on 17 April. | 02:23 |
| nhaines | What do you mean by "on the mirror?" Ubuntu has hundreds. | 02:23 |
| * ianorlin thinks there was a mirror with skynet in its name | 02:24 | |
| DonkeyHotei | sha256sum for the iso matches but the md5sum.txt entry for ./casper/filesystem.squashfs doesn't, and while installing, there is a zlib error reading squashfs | 02:24 |
| DonkeyHotei | and by on the mirror i mean at the above url | 02:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | nhaines: ^ | 02:25 |
| nhaines | Not sure that counts as a mirror. Well, I'll test it, and I'll try and see if I can figure out who handles this. If pleia2 doesn't show up first. | 02:27 |
| DonkeyHotei | now doing a netinstall instead in the meantime | 02:30 |
| nhaines | Sounds like a good start. | 02:31 |
| nhaines | DonkeyHotei: did you md5sum your disc? | 02:32 |
| DonkeyHotei | i sha256sum'd it | 02:33 |
| nhaines | The install media you created? | 02:33 |
| DonkeyHotei | i did not create install media, this was on flash | 02:34 |
| ianorlin | might be bug in startupdisk creator | 02:34 |
| nhaines | Any medium prepared to boot from to install Ubuntu is install media. | 02:34 |
| DonkeyHotei | the ubuntu startup disc creator refused to take the iso because of the md5sum mismatch, so i used unetbootin, and upon trying to install, it found the mismatched file corrupt | 02:35 |
| ianorlin | try a torrent download? | 02:35 |
| DonkeyHotei | *disk | 02:35 |
| nhaines | Then something's wrong, because I did it several times over the weekend. | 02:35 |
| nhaines | Do a zsync download. It should be very quick. | 02:36 |
| DonkeyHotei | ianorlin: the sha256sum for the iso matched | 02:36 |
| DonkeyHotei | but the sha256sum matched | 02:36 |
| nhaines | check the md5sum. | 02:36 |
| DonkeyHotei | of the iso? | 02:36 |
| nhaines | For a start, yes. | 02:36 |
| DonkeyHotei | matches | 02:39 |
| nhaines | I'm about 2/3rds through an install at the moment. | 02:40 |
| nhaines | I'm almost certain we did a 32-bit install Saturday but I wasn't the one assisting. | 02:40 |
| ianorlin | yeah there was defintely someone with a 32 bit there | 02:40 |
| nhaines | ianorlin: two, but I think only one did an install. | 02:41 |
| ianorlin | yeah the other one had already installed mint with cinnamon and wanted something for vector graphics installed | 02:42 |
| ianorlin | also why did mint remove the mark all updates in synaptic | 02:46 |
| nhaines | Dunno. Mint does some really weird (and in my opinion dubious) things in terms of updates. | 02:48 |
| nhaines | Well, my i386 install is just cleaning up packages now. | 02:49 |
| nhaines | DonkeyHotei: congrats! You discovered you have a bad flash drive. | 02:49 |
| rww | because they think not all Ubuntu updates are reliable | 02:49 |
| nhaines | rww: too bad the the result turns out to be "well, guess no one can have updates then!" | 02:49 |
| rww | it's all very silly | 02:49 |
| rww | i mean, they're right, but the alternative is worse | 02:50 |
| DonkeyHotei | nhaines: the iso has a corrupt file | 02:50 |
| nhaines | I haven't seen updates be *that* unreliable. But yeah, they take a sub-optimal situation and make it worse. | 02:50 |
| * rww hums and downloads the x86 iso to mount it and test this | 02:50 | |
| DonkeyHotei | i'm md5sum'ing it now | 02:53 |
| nhaines | Install finished successfully with no errors. | 02:54 |
| nhaines | I'm going to start md5summing ./casper/filesystem.squashfs | 02:54 |
| DonkeyHotei | odd, it matched | 02:54 |
| DonkeyHotei | are flash problems that consistent? i tried this over and over | 02:55 |
| nhaines | They can be. The main symptom is that they're unpredictable. | 02:55 |
| nhaines | Or as I sometimes would explain to customers on the phone, "You're asking a potentially damaged device whether or not it is damaged." | 02:56 |
| nhaines | Yup, my copy's md5sum matches too. | 02:56 |
| nhaines | pleia2: emergency is cancelled. :) | 02:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | now try the usb startup disk creator | 02:57 |
| nhaines | I did on Saturday. Worked great. | 02:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | with that iso? | 02:57 |
| nhaines | Sold the resultant, working USB stick for $20. \o/ | 02:57 |
| nhaines | Yup, same file, same computer. | 02:58 |
| DonkeyHotei | well, now i know my most capacious flash drive is faulty | 02:58 |
| nhaines | DonkeyHotei: all things considered, it's one of the better ways to find out. | 02:59 |
| DonkeyHotei | good thing i didn't actually buy it, was one of those trade show things | 02:59 |
| nhaines | Oh, *those* go all the time. | 03:00 |
| DonkeyHotei | probably from arm tech con in 2012 | 03:00 |
| nhaines | Typically they are made in China for as little money as possible. | 03:00 |
| DonkeyHotei | i once had a 128MB one die completely, probably a loose connection | 03:01 |
| nhaines | My awesome and cute orange Ubuntu USB drive I got at SCALE from jcastro three years back died within hours. | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | ah, corrupt usb fun :) | 03:14 |
| DonkeyHotei | there was a gtk netinstaller for a while, what happened to that? | 03:18 |
| rww | the framebuffer one? Debian still has it, in the boot menu thing | 03:18 |
| DonkeyHotei | no, it looked like the normal installer | 03:19 |
| nhaines | I like the text installer. It makes me nostalgic. | 03:19 |
| DonkeyHotei | i know, but progress marches on | 03:20 |
| rww | nhaines: did you deliberately share that photo of meat with me? i got a notification about it | 03:20 |
| rww | instead of normal posts which just show up | 03:21 |
| nhaines | rww: no, Google probably just thinks I'm really important. | 03:21 |
| rww | ah | 03:21 |
| rww | i imagined you sitting there giggling. "muhahahaha, this picture involves meat, i will share it with rww because he is vegetarian" | 03:21 |
| rww | it was amusing, i'm going to pretend it happened | 03:21 |
| nhaines | I didn't know or care. :) | 03:21 |
| nhaines | Although G+ did add the "cooking" hashtag. | 03:22 |
| rww | also, i already told you to stop pretending to be jono ;( | 03:22 |
| nhaines | bahaha | 03:22 |
| nhaines | Well, this isn't really the smoking kind of barbecue he does. | 03:22 |
| nhaines | pleia2: so the good news is that Canonical is ready to wire me pizza money for the installfest. | 03:26 |
| nhaines | But the bad news is that my bank doesn't accept international wire transfers. :P | 03:27 |
| rww | did that report on use of community funds ever get released | 03:27 |
| rww | jono was all "this week!" and then quit | 03:27 |
| nhaines | Nope. And jono is probably preoccupied. | 03:27 |
| rww | lol | 03:27 |
| nhaines | rww: sounds like tomorrow's OMGUbuntu headline. | 03:28 |
| rww | headcannon: jono quit because he found out sabdfl has been using the community fund to buy bitcoins | 03:28 |
| nhaines | UBUNTU COMMUNITY MANAGER QUITS OVER FUNDS MISAPPROPRIATION | 03:28 |
| nhaines | Article: "These things are totally unrelated and probalby a coincidence. Here's a little about both." | 03:28 |
| nhaines | rww: I sold a thumbdrive for bitcoin and the price went up. | 03:29 |
| DonkeyHotei | banks that do accept international wire transfers typically charge around $35 to receive them | 03:29 |
| nhaines | That's fine. My bank doesn't charge anything. | 03:30 |
| rww | lol | 03:30 |
| rww | nhaines: how much is it? | 03:30 |
| rww | oh wait actually nvm, my bank fees | 03:30 |
| rww | i was gonna send it to you as bitcoins :P | 03:31 |
| nhaines | lol | 03:31 |
| nhaines | 0.03824 BTC was $20, now $21.41. | 03:31 |
| nhaines | Which coincidentally wipes out the transaction fee for the one I sold via credit card. | 03:31 |
