| EuaD1 | i was trying to install owncloud on my xubuntu 14.04.2 install and apparently i messed up my apache2 install because now my MythTV web interface doesn't work | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| EuaD1 | i now get The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. when i try to connect mythweb | 01:57 |
| Jeremy26 | Hi. We're switching all our servers to Ubuntu-servers. I'm setting up my 1st one -- currently in the middle of install. It's a UEFI-mobo, with disks partitioned with a 300MB EFI partition in addition to the usual install locations. Started the install, going OK, until it gets to the GRUB install. It fails @: "[1] Install the GRUB bootloader on a hard disk" just telling me an "Installation Step Failed". I can continue with no no bootloader | 02:03 |
| Jeremy26 | apparently, but I figure there should be a way to do this right from the installer. | 02:03 |
| Jeremy26 | How do I get the installer to install UEFI+Grub2 stuff? | 02:03 |
| sarnold | EuaD1: note that some apache config7uration diredctives changed bwtween the apache in 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS... ifyou were following a guide, make sure it's for the right version.. | 02:04 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: wild-guess time, maybe grab a terminal and run grub-install by hand? I can't recall if it just does the right thing based on your configs or not.. but it'd be one potential starting point | 02:07 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: which install disc are you using? apparently 12.04.1 and earlier didn't do uefi so well... | 02:08 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: Hi. Using vivid-server 15/latest, atm | 02:11 |
| EuaD1 | sarnold, i had mythtv and apache2 running for years and was running fine on 14.04 but as soon as i installed owncloud the mythweb web panel is no longer accieble | 02:11 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: oh, that really ought to work :) | 02:12 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: by "grab a terminal", from where I am @ installer step? or continue without bootloader, and "do it" later? | 02:12 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: I was thinking from where you are in the installer.. hopefully enough is installed at that point to have a useful shell available | 02:13 |
| sarnold | EuaD1: aha. try checking apache's logs for erro messages.. | 02:13 |
| sarnold | there are probably more details there | 02:13 |
| EuaD1 | sarnold, ok, according to the error.log, it says authtype digest configured without corresponding module | 02:17 |
| sarnold | EuaD1: auth changed the most in apache 2.4.. lookhere for starting point http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_auth_digest.html | 02:20 |
| EuaD1 | sarnold, ok, thanks. i just removed and purged owncloud and it still says internal error. so i'll read this over, thanks | 02:21 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: ok. i need to figure out what to DO to get the grub-uefi done right once I'm in the shell ... | 02:28 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: I'm hoping that a plain "grub-install" would do it :) but that's blatant hopefulism on my part | 02:28 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: i'm sure you're nice to kittens and puppies and all, but I'm hoping for some docs ;-) | 02:30 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: looks like you're right, it looks like it requires the destination device name and probably --uefi-secure-boot parameter http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/grub-install.8.html | 02:31 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: more here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#UEFI, but still rather thin. You'd think an installer would handle this for you. | 02:38 |
| Jeremy26 | Well, s|think|hope|g anyway. | 02:38 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: yes, yes I would, and I suspect it often does :) | 02:39 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: That's what has me a bit hesitant. There's nothing weird here. It's a standard partition setup with the UEFI bits. Wondering if something 'sick' here that's preventing the install. | 02:41 |
| Jeremy26 | Oh, Arch's docs come thru a bit more: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Alternative_install_method | 02:41 |
| Jeremy26 | So, I'm at the "Installation step failed". Do I *first* drop to shell, then install? or 'continue' past this without installing grub, and invoke the shell in a step or two? | 02:45 |
| sarnold | I'd try it now.. you know where you stand right now, hehe | 02:45 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: You presume a lot with that "know" biz, but ok ... | 02:47 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: who knows what the next screen will bring? a big failure of some sort that refuses to contuinue? or salvation? or a lengthy package install that's pointless because youy can't boot it anyway? :) | 02:50 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: minor problem ... atm, at shell, there's no 'grub-install' available. hmmm . | 02:52 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: grumble. sorry. | 02:53 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: time for me to bail.. good luck :) | 02:53 |
| Jeremy26 | re-grumble. thx. | 02:54 |
| Jeremy26 | Well, the next step was, effectively, 'finish the installation', then reboot. @reboot, I get dropped to a Buaybox/ash shell, at prompt "(initramfs)", with absolutley no keyboard responses. I.e. hosed. | 03:03 |
| Jeremy26 | Not exactly a stellar "first time" | 03:03 |
| Jeremy26 | wow. 'rescue' mode is even worse :-( | 03:23 |
| Jeremy26 | What to do now? Do I have to start over and reinstall? | 03:24 |

| OpenTokix | nivv: There is an issue, that was discussed last week actually. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/797544 <-- this very strange default in 14.04 - I have changed it in my config managment now, so I always have a timeout set. | 08:08 |

| amarcolino | Hi, I am running a clean install of ubuntu 14.4 with bonding (bonding-mode 4), the system can update and access the internet via w3m, however, I can't seem to ping other computers on the local network and vice-versa, anyone can help me? | 08:35 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: your switch is configured to handle 802.3ad? | 08:37 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: Can you ping the hosts if you unbond the interfaces? | 08:37 |
| amarcolino | ... hmmm... haven't tried to unbound the nics and no since I ain't using a switch , it connects directly to the router, give me a sec. | 08:38 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: router is also a switch | 08:40 |
| OpenTokix | I assume its your home router? yes? Or is a commercial router? | 08:40 |
| amarcolino | plain home router and I wouldn't know whether it can handle 802.3ad, it works accessing the internet but the local network :s, that's a pain not being able to connect to it | 08:41 |
| OpenTokix | ok, doubt it support 802.3ad, and if it does you have to enable it probably. | 08:42 |
| amarcolino | nope just unbound the nic, so using only one and I still can't ping | 08:43 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: ok, - is the host you're trying to ping also a linux machine? | 08:43 |
| amarcolino | nope it is a windows machine, tried both ways and neither can ping, I suspect it is the linux instead of the windows | 08:44 |
| OpenTokix | ok, no firewall enabled? | 08:45 |
| amarcolino | nope | 08:46 |
| === kickinz1|afk is now known as kickinz1 | ||
| OpenTokix | so, run tcpdump on the interface when you ping, to see if you get anything back | 08:46 |
| amarcolino | how do i use tcpdump, i.e. tcpdump [ping address],? | 08:48 |
| OpenTokix | on your local machine | 08:50 |
| OpenTokix | if your interface you are ping:ing from is eth0 | 08:50 |
| OpenTokix | as root: tcpdump -i eth0 icmp | 08:51 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| amarcolino | OpenTokix: once I use tcpdump and ping on the windows machine it works | 08:53 |
| amarcolino | so there must be something blocking it | 08:53 |
| OpenTokix | yes | 08:53 |
| OpenTokix | probably the default firewall on the windows machine | 08:53 |
| amarcolino | weird now the windows machine can ping but the ubuntu cant ping the windows, any suggestions? | 08:54 |
| OpenTokix | windows firewall | 08:54 |
| OpenTokix | Enabled by default and blocks everything | 08:55 |
| amarcolino | going to try another laptop and see if the same happens, it is weird to not be able to ping a clean ubuntu install | 08:56 |
| OpenTokix | since for me at least, that folder is not handled by my git repo | 08:56 |
| OpenTokix | wrong window | 08:56 |
| amarcolino | OpenTokix: for some reason my windows 7 laptop is blocking ping connection, yet windows 8 laptop is fine, grrr. Need to find out why, I most likely did something when I setup this laptop since it is the one I use often. | 09:02 |
| amarcolino | OpenTokix: thanks for the help it was driving me insane | 09:02 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: depends on what you select for the network setup. Like "home network" or "public network" That will set other settings in the firewwall on windows. | 09:02 |
| OpenTokix | Why do I even know this? I dont use windows. | 09:02 |
| amarcolino | it is setup as home, it is probably one of the services I disabled or something I enabled/disabled in the administrator config, sigh, this will take a while :'( | 09:05 |
| OpenTokix | amarcolino: Not like ping is crucial to the function of your ipv4 network | 09:06 |
| ReScO | hey peeps | 09:09 |
| ReScO | I'm having some trouble setting up my firewall... | 09:09 |
| ReScO | i have fail2ban, but i want to close pretty much every port except 22,80,443,587,993 and 3000, how can i do this in such a way, a portscanner will think it's offline? | 09:11 |
| ReScO | and i want to open port 22 for certain IP's only. | 09:12 |
| amarcolino | OpenTokix: so far I can ping from windows 7 to windows 8 but not the other way and if I use bonding ubuntu cant receive or send pings on the local | 09:16 |

| Spyidonas | quick question , if a folder served by apache is on www-data group and user, and its file permissions are 777 shouldn't the folder be writeable by php? | 10:45 |
| rbasak | Depends on directory permissions all the way up - the php user must be able to get to the directory in question. | 10:46 |
| OpenTokix | Spyidonas: You should geneerally never have a folder set to 777, unless its a upload folder or such. - if www-data owns it. - 775 whould be enoigh | 10:46 |
| rbasak | Also, check for apparmor denials | 10:46 |
| Spyidonas | i set it to 777 because 775 doenst work | 10:47 |
| rbasak | (not sure what the default is there) | 10:47 |
| rbasak | Spyidonas: that's fine for debugging a test deployment but be sure to change it back before going to production | 10:47 |
| Spyidonas | i havent modify any apparmor, does the ubuntu 12.04 default denies write? the thing is folder above the one i want have read/write access | 10:48 |
| Spyidonas | for example /var/www/uploads is readable-writeable | 10:48 |
| Spyidonas | and the /var/www/upload/test isn't | 10:48 |

| Spyidonas | Kartagis: no, its an existing site and im adding a webmail | 11:09 |
| Spyidonas | Kartagis: the existing site has upload options and php reads/writes to folder | 11:09 |
| Kartagis | because php doesn't run under a different user | 11:10 |
| Kartagis | whereas php-fpm does | 11:10 |
| Spyidonas | Kartagis: i created a new folder throwed everything the webmail has and i have the error i cant read/write | 11:10 |
| Spyidonas | Kartagis: it's the standard php/apache that comes with ubuntu 12.04 | 11:10 |

| yossarianuk | I have created an upstart file -(for starting a meteor app) - it works fine via 'service meteor start/stop' | 17:13 |
| yossarianuk | but doesn't start on boot | 17:14 |
| yossarianuk | I can 'cheat' and add the line 'service meteor start' to rc.local and that starts on boot | 17:14 |
| yossarianuk | but how can I work out why the upstart job /etc/init/meteor.conf doesn't start on boot ? | 17:15 |
| yossarianuk | do you have to tell upstart somehow taht the service should start on boot ? i.e the equivalent on 'update-rc.d ... ... ' | 17:16 |
| rbasak | yossarianuk: are you aware of http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/? | 17:16 |
| rbasak | You need to tell upstart what other event to start your job on. | 17:17 |
| rbasak | For example: | 17:17 |
| rbasak | start on runlevel [2345] | 17:17 |
| rbasak | stop on runlevel [!2345] | 17:17 |
| rbasak | Then it'll get started on when the runlevel changes to 2. | 17:17 |

| an3k | After I manually ran fbset -xres 1024 -yres 768 -match the console was finally in 1024x768 but after the next reboot it's again in 800x600 | 17:29 |
| genii | an3k: If the fbset worked manually you could just add that command to your rc.local file | 17:30 |
| hallyn | rbasak: ah, ok. you don't mind if i step in then? oh wait, i'm out the next two days, so i woudn't be speeding it up much... | 17:30 |
| hallyn | rbasak: are you around on friday? can i ping you then to get the status of your debdiffs, and I'll take it fro mthere? | 17:30 |
| rbasak | hallyn: sure, I'll be around. | 17:31 |
| hallyn | rbasak: thanks! i appreciate it. | 17:31 |
| an3k | genii: thanks, I'll do that. Howver, shouldn't be th there a configuration for setting the resolution? | 17:31 |
| hallyn | i should be albe to finish it up fri/sat then | 17:31 |
| yossarianuk | rbasak: thanks I already have 'start on (started mongodb and started nginx and runlevel [2345])' | 17:32 |
| an3k | like GRUB_GFXMODE= in /etc/default/grub | 17:32 |
| yossarianuk | off now anyway - i'll look tomorrow... | 17:32 |
| genii | an3k: Instead of the GFXMODE or GFXPAYLOAD methos you could try the old way of VGA=xxx in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 17:32 |
| genii | an3k: You'd need to look up the 3 numbers to use for the mode you want | 17:33 |
| an3k | genii: tried that. All it did was keeping grub in 800x600 and console in 800x600 (1024x768) but kernel log in 720x400 ... | 17:33 |
| an3k | 791 which is 1024x768x16 | 17:34 |
| genii | an3k: I'm out of immediate ideas on the issue. | 17:35 |

| genii | hackemate: Check /var/log/auth.log for brute-force password attempts, and /var/log/apache2/error.log for people trying to reach admin pages for applications. You might want to install fail2ban which will limit attempts | 19:00 |
| sarnold | hackemate: wouldn't hurt to try some ping or mtr or smokeping to find out your latency, packetloss, etc | 19:03 |
| hackemate | i see many lines like this Mar 24 17:43:09 datatec CRON[9587]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root | 19:04 |
| hackemate | Mar 24 17:43:56 datatec CRON[9615]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root | 19:04 |
| hackemate | fail2ban is installed | 19:04 |
| hackemate | but seems does nothing really | 19:04 |
| hackemate | pam_unix is ssh? | 19:04 |
| hackemate | i did, average is ime=178.513 ms top was 300 | 19:04 |
| sarnold | the important bit there is that that's a cronjob, probably not a big deal | 19:05 |
| genii | hackemate: For fail2ban maybe check here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 19:06 |
| sarnold | 130 ms to where? | 19:06 |
| sarnold | I can get from west coast of the united states to japan in 100ms | 19:06 |
| hackemate | ping 37.187.42.205 | 19:07 |
| sarnold | west coast US to UK is 190 ms | 19:07 |
| hackemate | right now is under 100ms | 19:07 |
| hackemate | from spain to france | 19:07 |
| genii | hackemate: Is the ping time from the remote machine to the server or from the server to some other machine? | 19:07 |
| hackemate | from remote machine to the server, this is what i see in localhost 64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.099 ms | 19:08 |
| genii | ping time to localhost is meaningless | 19:08 |
| sarnold | yeah, but from spain to france, 100ms seems tolerable | 19:10 |
| sarnold | I got 163 from west coast us, it's closer than uk for me :) | 19:10 |
| genii | hackemate: From ssh session on the server, if you do ping -c 10 google.com ... what sort of lag on that? | 19:11 |
| hackemate | wow i got stuck 5 minutes | 19:13 |
| hackemate | i mean 4 minutes | 19:13 |
| hackemate | now works fine, again | 19:14 |
| hackemate | but sometimes is like cpu is 100% | 19:14 |
| hackemate | the google ping is this 64 bytes from muc03s07-in-f6.1e100.net (173.194.44.6): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=17.1 ms | 19:15 |
| sarnold | how about all ten pings? | 19:19 |
| hxm | 64 bytes from muc03s07-in-f5.1e100.net (173.194.44.5): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=17.4 ms | 19:20 |
| hxm | all like this | 19:20 |
| hxm | i think is not networking problem, looks like cpu 100% | 19:20 |
| hxm | i have 2 ssh connected and sometimes i cant write on them | 19:20 |
| hxm | and suddenly it starts to respond again | 19:20 |
| hxm | auth.log is filled of pam_unix sessions from cron | 19:21 |
| genii | hxm: How far apart is your most often cron job? For instance, sometimes you see a problem like a cronjob running every 5 minutes that actually takes more than 5 minutes to do | 19:23 |
| hxm | i go check that | 19:24 |
| sarnold | "filled"? that;s not good.. they shuold happen periodically... | 19:24 |
| hxm | im talking about 5-10 per second, | 19:25 |
| sarnold | WHAT?? | 19:25 |
| hxm | dont scare me | 19:25 |
| hxm | i removed all cronjobs | 19:25 |
| sarnold | and did you look through the /etc/cron* files and directories? | 19:26 |
| hxm | man type a cd takes eternal, im getting paranoid | 19:27 |
| hxm | there are some files in cron.d, nothing in else cron.* | 19:29 |
| hxm | in cron.d i have apache2 aptitude and logrotate, roundcube updatenotifier | 19:30 |
| genii | Hm | 19:31 |
| hxm | norfix.es is still getting minutes to load | 19:31 |
| sarnold | hxm: how about /etc/crontab? | 19:32 |
| hxm | 47 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly and 12 30 1 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) same for weekly and monthly | 19:32 |
| hxm | i candisable them too | 19:33 |
| sarnold | hxm: those are fine.. | 19:33 |
| sarnold | I suggest reading this.. it might be jumping to conclusions, but .. https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/02/anatomy_of_a_brutef.html | 19:34 |
| genii | Is there anything abnormal like i/o errors if you do: dmesg | tail -n 50 | 19:34 |

| sarnold | .. _nothing_ in dmesg? odd | 19:36 |
| genii | Waht? | 19:36 |
| hxm | i said sme: waht | 19:36 |
| genii | That is highly unusual | 19:36 |
| hxm | screenshot shows it | 19:36 |
| hxm | it is a virtualmachine of a dedicated server, maybe that | 19:36 |
| hxm | about bruteforce fail2ban could just ban them no? | 19:36 |
| genii | hxm: It's better to deny them for a period of time than to ban because some failed login attempts may be from valid ssh attempts | 19:37 |
| sarnold | if this is a container of some sort maybe dmesg is not available, but this is feeling like it may be a compromised machine with a rootkit installed | 19:37 |
| hxm | not visible in top? | 19:37 |
| sarnold | yeah | 19:38 |
| hxm | lsof could give a clue no? | 19:39 |
| sarnold | depends on the rootkit | 19:39 |
| teward | can someone look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1336713 and see if they can test/replicate? (I wasn't able to on a production instance that has `php5-fpm` installed but not the `php5` metapackage) | 19:40 |

| sarnold | teward: the transition is far harder than I expected | 19:57 |
| sarnold | hxm: I believe it's wildly unmaintained. | 19:57 |
| sarnold | hxm: .. and fighting a problem thats nearly impossible to solve anyway. | 19:57 |
| hxm | i know, but i wont get this tomorrow again | 19:57 |
| teward | sarnold: the alternative is radical implantation of cybernetic technologies which facilitate data entry via neural signals | 19:58 |
| * teward is a crazy, yes. | 19:59 | |
| teward | or, go get your old keyboard :) | 19:59 |
| sarnold | teward: heh, I switched to this one because my old one caused significant pain in my hands and arms | 19:59 |
| sarnold | teward: or, well, I suspected it was involved. three weeks with a different keyboard have helped immensely | 20:00 |
| teward | rbasak: ping - have you seen anything else similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1336713 that affects the `php5` packages? (I can only find that they have the `php5` metapackage on there which could potentially cause this if `apt` or some other system is not detecting `php5-fpm`, but...) | 20:03 |
| rbasak | teward: I've not seen it apart from in that bug IIRC. Need steps to reproduce to do anything about it :-/ | 20:21 |
| teward | rbasak: yeah, I set it back to 'incomplete' - even tested a dist-upgrade on a production server I know for a fact hasn't been updated since January cause I"m insanely busy. | 20:22 |
| teward | rbasak: wasn't able to replicate with *just* php5-fpm (and there's been no updates to the nginx package that'd trigger this) | 20:22 |
| teward | rbasak: the only thing i can think that would do this is a case where `apt` derps and ignores php5-fpm being installed, and then installs Apache | 20:22 |
| teward | rbasak: since `php5` meta package | 20:23 |
| teward | (it was said in the description that it was present, I believe, but again, we need more info) | 20:23 |
| rbasak | teward: thanks. I updated the description to make it completely clear. | 20:23 |
| teward | rbasak: the only reason i'm on the bug is 'cause bdmurray pinged me (see -bugs for that discussion) | 20:25 |
| teward | rbasak: bdmurray said "Hey, they're using the PPA" maybe on the assumption that causes it (because nginx was mentioned on the bug), but I"m 99.99% certain that nginx, PPA or repository or otherwise, would not be the cause | 20:26 |
| Jeremy26 | Is there detailed documentation for *installing* ubuntu-server on UEFI? Every attempt I've made fails -- whether allowing the installer to try to auto-figure-it-out, or dropping to apt shell and manually installing the grub-efi packages. Fails 100% of the time. As a test of my h/w and partitioning, no issues installing Fedora ... | 20:27 |
| teward | rbasak: the *only* way it could happen is if `php5`'s dependencies list was in a "php5-fpm not present with regards to compatibility and depends" state - that's the only real way it'd trigger this, 'cause php5-fpm doesn't depend on apache components, and nor does nginx | 20:31 |

| dmsimard | Hi. Any idea why installing the linux-generic-lts-utopic package in pkg_include (preseed) yields a kernel panic ? Is this a bug ? It looks like the initramfs doesn't run - the initrd for 3.16 isn't generated | 22:01 |
| dmsimard | Someone else's reported the issue and hacked together a update-initramfs in a late_command but that doesn't sound like an ideal solution | 22:01 |
| dmsimard | http://askubuntu.com/questions/526193/preseeding-3-16-hardware-enablement-kernel-requires-manual-update-initramfs | 22:01 |
| Jeremy26 | One last try -- anyone successffully installed ubuntu-server to UEFI? preferably Vivid? | 22:02 |
| dmsimard | We have precise installs that run fine when installing the trusty lts kernel in preseed, without having to resort manually running update-initramfs | 22:02 |
| teward | !vivid | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 | 22:02 |
| teward | Jeremy26: ^ | 22:03 |
| teward | you should probably start in #ubuntu+1 ( just sayin ) | 22:03 |
| Jeremy26 | teward: Been there on & off for 2 days . The only response to any question I got was to come back here. | 22:03 |
| rbasak | Jeremy26: maybe try the ubuntu-server mailing list? UEFI is still not common enough that many people who happening to be watching IRC at the time you ask will have experience with it. | 22:04 |
| teward | Jeremy26: well then I suggest patience - but as with all QA and iso testing, you should consider filing an issue against the image if it's not working as it should be with efi installations | 22:04 |
| teward | i also agree that the ubuntu-server mailing list will yield better results | 22:04 |
| teward | (I force my systems to use legacy if efi is an option) | 22:05 |
| rbasak | dmsimard: that sounds worthy of a bug report to me. | 22:05 |
| dmsimard | rbasak: Thought so too.. Will file one. Thanks. | 22:05 |
| rbasak | dmsimard: maybe against the initramfs-tools package in the first instance? | 22:05 |
| rbasak | I'm not sure where else would be relevant. | 22:05 |
| dmsimard | Yeah I was about to ask where to file it | 22:05 |
| dmsimard | I haven't exactly pinpointed where the problem occurs | 22:06 |
| rbasak | I think a missing initramfs makes initramfs-tools a reasonable first guess. It can always be reassigned later. | 22:06 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: dang, still no luck? :( please file a bug against ubiquity, I think that's the most logical next step | 22:08 |
| Jeremy26 | sarnold: Hi. Nope. Terrible installler experience. Grub's just non-functional. UEFI's barely usable without manual intervention. DHCP doesn't manage to configure the network at all -- all other installers do. A USB-key install still insists on a CD being attached. | 22:10 |
| Jeremy26 | Yeah, really terribly frustrated atm. Looking at Fedora. | 22:10 |
| sarnold | Jeremy26: damn. I haven't needed a cd for installing for.. uhh.. many years. :/ | 22:11 |
| Patrickdk | what is a cd? | 22:12 |
| Jeremy26 | Patrickdk: it's what ubuntu-server apparently requires to install itself | 22:12 |
| Patrickdk | since when? | 22:12 |
| Patrickdk | I've been using pxe boot install since 2007 | 22:13 |
| Jeremy26 | Tried a Vivid Server install on UEFI from a USB key? | 22:13 |
