| feliwir | hey, my ubuntu 15.04 gets stuck at "creating ext4 partition" | 20:51 |
| feliwir | help is appreciated | 20:52 |
| feliwir | (during installation) | 20:52 |
| feliwir | i also made sure my ssd doesn't have any bad sectors | 20:53 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: are you getting a notification that it needs formatting for example ? | 20:53 |
| feliwir | no, it just doesn't make any progress anymore | 20:53 |
| feliwir | could it be due to me having 2 ssd's and one hdd? | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | fel which partitioning mode did you cjhoose , guid4e3d, auto or manual ? | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | oops guided | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: ^ | 20:55 |
| feliwir | i used auto on my old ssd with ubuntu 14.04 (which was broken thats why i couldnt upgrade it^= | 20:55 |
| feliwir | but if it helps i can try to format it before i try installation | 20:56 |
| elfy | I had some issues like that a while back, did the partitions before installing with gparted | 20:56 |
| elfy | heh :) | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | have you manually partitioned hdds/sdds in the past ? if so it's best to use that | 20:56 |
| feliwir | well, i still have the old partitions | 20:56 |
| feliwir | back from ubuntu 14.10, | 20:56 |
| feliwir | no, i've never done that before to be honest :D | 20:56 |
| elfy | try that then | 20:57 |
| feliwir | right now i am on my liveusb and have gparted opened, no idea what to do with it though | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | 'then you have to format them as well when choosing ext4 | 20:57 |
| elfy | well feliwir if you've never done it before - make sure you do it right ;) | 20:58 |
| feliwir | elfy: haha very good advice | 20:58 |
| elfy | measure twice - cut once ... | 20:58 |
| elfy | you might even have where it 'tried' to create one | 20:59 |
| feliwir | i am not quite sure why i need to make new partitions at all :( i thought the old ones would be ok | 20:59 |
| elfy | and you're using 'Something Else' as the option ? | 21:00 |
| elfy | and just marked the old one for formatting and as / ? | 21:01 |
| BluesKaj | yes , they are you just need to reformat them to get rid of the data | 21:01 |
| feliwir | http://i.imgur.com/jExbYAp.png | 21:02 |
| feliwir | where would i reformat anything here? | 21:02 |
| elfy | I would be extremely careful about reformatting that partition unless you are completely positive that 68Gb used is all old and unused | 21:03 |
| BluesKaj | thw yellow portion of the partition is the data from the old install , it needs to be erased by formatting to nsetup the partition for installation of the new OS | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | unless you want to rpreserve the dat from the old install | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | preserve the data , that is | 21:06 |
| feliwir | okay | 21:07 |
| feliwir | but where to put my / ? | 21:07 |
| elfy | right - so you're going to be resizing it one way or the other | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: the whole partition will be / if you choose not to create a /home as well | 21:09 |
| feliwir | http://i.imgur.com/D9F5nkI.png?1 | 21:09 |
| feliwir | it says it has no root | 21:09 |
| elfy | feliwir: if you do that - it WILL remove any data in that partition - all 68Gb | 21:10 |
| feliwir | no problem | 21:10 |
| feliwir | all my data is on my hdd | 21:10 |
| feliwir | do i need to set a mount point for swap aswell? | 21:11 |
| elfy | no swap will deal with itself | 21:11 |
| feliwir | alright, can i ignore the warning? | 21:12 |
| elfy | what warning? | 21:12 |
| feliwir | http://i.imgur.com/eIS72fM.png?1 | 21:12 |
| k1l_ | what? no you need to direct the swap partition to be used as swap | 21:12 |
| k1l_ | if you dont to it, it will not use swap | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | the swap warning is most likely di=ue swap being turned off | 21:13 |
| elfy | k1l_: no - I have never in the last 3 years once told the installer anything about swap | 21:13 |
| jtaylor | k1l_: you just whatever swap is available | 21:13 |
| feliwir | it says: use as swap anyways | 21:13 |
| elfy | that warning is what I normally see | 21:14 |
| k1l_ | elfy: i dont use swap since 3 years or so. | 21:14 |
| elfy | ) | 21:14 |
| elfy | :) | 21:14 |
| elfy | I don't use it - I just have some for Justin Case | 21:14 |
| k1l_ | the live cd uses any swap it finds. i am not sure about the install. | 21:14 |
| feliwir | starting now | 21:14 |
| feliwir | it seems to reenter the old step -.- | 21:15 |
| elfy | k1l_: in my experience - live uses what it finds, then uses same for the install | 21:15 |
| feliwir | nvm it makes progress :D | 21:15 |
| feliwir | how long is that step supposed to take? | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: are you using gparted atm ? | 21:18 |
| feliwir | no, i am installing atm :D | 21:18 |
| feliwir | but i used the manual way | 21:19 |
| feliwir | and told it to format ext4 | 21:19 |
| feliwir | got stuck again though -.- : http://i.imgur.com/4bAnXr0.jpg?1 | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | , did you choose the partition as the / moiuntpoint | 21:19 |
| feliwir | ye | 21:20 |
| feliwir | you saw the screenshot | 21:20 |
| feliwir | http://i.imgur.com/D9F5nkI.png?1 | 21:20 |
| elfy | feliwir: the 2nd to last screenie is the slideshow :) | 21:20 |
| feliwir | :D | 21:21 |
| feliwir | well, time for a new try i guess -.- | 21:21 |
| elfy | if the installer keeps hanging on that stage - which is what I had a while back, just do the format in gparted | 21:22 |
| feliwir | okay | 21:22 |
| elfy | then start up the installer - choose the same 'Something Else' option | 21:22 |
| elfy | then when you set it up - just do the mountpoint - don't format it again | 21:22 |
| elfy | it'll say you're not formatting - ignore that warning | 21:23 |
| feliwir | The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. | 21:23 |
| feliwir | gparted keeps telling me that warning^^ | 21:23 |
| elfy | but I'm not that comfortable saying format a drive that's half full ;) | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: don't worry about that either | 21:23 |
| feliwir | how can i stop the setup from always going back to its old step? | 21:24 |
| elfy | you need to cancle the install | 21:24 |
| elfy | then start gparted from whatever menu your version uses | 21:25 |
| feliwir | yeah i just did that | 21:25 |
| feliwir | but i am not sure if installation will go back to the same step | 21:25 |
| elfy | oic - no it will start from the beginning again | 21:25 |
| feliwir | bootloader will go into sdc or sdc1 ? | 21:25 |
| elfy | wherever you tell it to when doing Something Else - not sure | 21:26 |
| k1l_ | are you sure the ssd is working properly? | 21:27 |
| elfy | not going to be much help there - as I put them in different places here ;) | 21:27 |
| feliwir | yay | 21:27 |
| feliwir | Almost finished copying file it says | 21:27 |
| feliwir | i just started :D | 21:27 |
| feliwir | the ssd is working properly 100% SMART tells me that | 21:28 |
| jtaylor | does smart even have any meaning for ssds? | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir in the future use gparted to create a / partition around 15 G at the beginning of the drive, you st the mountpoint as / when installing, then the remainder of the partition can used for a /home partition that contains all your data and config files etc , so reinstalling to / only will then take about 20 mins and you /home mountpoint just needs to be set during installation thus preserving all your previous data | 21:29 |
| feliwir | BluesKaj: alright thanks. The thing is that my previous ubuntu installation was really broken and i wanted to get rid of everything :) | 21:30 |
| feliwir | installation finished | 21:31 |
| feliwir | time to restart | 21:31 |
| feliwir | i'll reconnect and tell if it worked | 21:31 |
| jtaylor | I wish the installer was somewhat smarter about swap size | 21:31 |
| jtaylor | did a server install today, gave it 70GB for root, ended up with 64GB swap ._. | 21:31 |
| jtaylor | was to be expected as it has that much ram, but still kind of dumb for a server | 21:32 |
| jtaylor | given the 70gb limit | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | feliwir: understood , but when you find a stable install but just want to upgrade to next version keep the idea in mind | 21:32 |
| feliwir_ | DAT BOOTTIME | 21:33 |
| feliwir_ | amazing :D thanks guys | 21:33 |
| feliwir_ | is grub starting by default? | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | jtaylor: that's waaay too much , you'll never use any of it if you have more than 16GRAM | 21:34 |
| jtaylor | I know | 21:34 |
| jtaylor | luckily shrinking is simple for swap + lvm | 21:35 |

| BluesKaj | well that's it for today , my old eyes are getting tired | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | later gents | 21:35 |
| jtaylor | after installaton I had some 200mb left in root :) | 21:35 |
| elfy | jtaylor: surely that's enough :) | 21:37 |
| feliwir | how to make new tabs in the ubuntu 15.04 terminal? | 21:44 |
| jtaylor | not ctrl+shift+t anymore? | 21:44 |
| feliwir | ah that does work, i used to use rightclick :P | 21:45 |
