| xnox | can armhf do gpt? | 17:33 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | why should amd64 & i386 still semi-default to msdos? | 17:33 |
| xnox | why don't we switch everything to gpt? | 17:33 |
| * xnox assumes that e.g. uboot supports gpt | 17:33 | |
| infinity | We don't switch x86 to GPT wholesale because most old BIOS implementations won't boot it. | 17:51 |
| infinity | Not all uboot implementations will either. | 17:52 |
| ogra_ | recent ones do though ... | 17:53 |
| xnox | ogra_, i think arm64 defaults to gpt, but not armhf. obviously one can override it. | 18:08 |
| xnox | infinity, why is lucid still on archive.ubuntu.com mirrors? | 18:08 |
| ogra_ | xnox, "defaults" is such a broad word :) | 18:10 |
| * ogra_ just booted an arm64 dragonboard via uboot with GPT ... | 18:10 | |
| ogra_ | i booted it with MBR before though ... its a matter of hacking ;) | 18:10 |
| xnox | ogra_, partman-partitioning default_disk_label() function. This is #ubuntu-installer =) we get to pick what we lay down by default =) | 18:12 |
| ogra_ | lol, right, i missed what channel i'm in ... for me itz was partition.sh and flash.sh :P | 18:12 |
| xnox | ogra_, hippie =)))))) | 18:13 |
| ogra_ | lol | 18:14 |
| * xnox ponders why popularity-contest is configured | 18:19 | |
| cjwatson | because otherwise all systems with it installed end up with the same "unique" id | 18:20 |
| cjwatson | at least for ones installed from a livefs base | 18:21 |
| cjwatson | one of several packages that require that kind of handling | 18:21 |
| xnox | lol | 18:23 |
| xnox | well, we had all machines using same dbus-id and systemd machine-id for quite some time =) nobody complained | 18:23 |
| cjwatson | err, yes they did :) | 18:24 |
| infinity | Quite. | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | though the result of that is fairly subtle | 18:24 |
| infinity | I vaguely recall the dbus thing being fixed a day or two before release in London. | 18:25 |
| infinity | May have been the same release sprint where some crazy person was debugging grub by attaching gdb to qemu. | 18:25 |
| cjwatson | That was a sad time in my life | 18:25 |
| xnox | well i recall complaining about machine-id but it was just a grumpy rpm loving intel employee pointing fingers rather than it being a real issue i experienced from. | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | Havoc Pennington complained about it, in fact :P | 18:27 |
| cjwatson | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/322830 | 18:27 |
| xnox | and this is the sort of thing that probably keeps re-occuring in e.g. touch, snappy, cloud-image variants, lxd, etc. | 18:29 |
| xnox | a class of $must-be-unique bugs | 18:29 |
| agrajag | anyone know what/who creates the officially released ISOs, and specifically the mini.isos? | 22:17 |
