| jthan | waltman: just seeing this. did you get it? I can plan to be around tomorrow if you want to talk through it som emore. | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| waltman | still not working :( | 02:25 |
| waltman | I updated my partition description: https://gist.github.com/waltman/bb0a3279731b488221e480acb953aae8 | 04:12 |
| waltman | The error I'm getting is 'volume group "ssd-vg" not found' | 04:12 |
| jthan | waltman: you can /get/ to the installer now, right? | 04:20 |
| waltman | with some difficulty. | 04:21 |
| jthan | but you haven't actually installed yet | 04:22 |
| waltman | I set the partition type for /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 to eft and went through the entire install process again. | 04:22 |
| waltman | efi | 04:22 |
| jthan | I had a hell of a time with efi + raid1 on centos 7 | 04:22 |
| waltman | I've installed it like a dozen times now. | 04:22 |
| jthan | haven't done w/ Ubuntu, but I could probably spin up a VM and try | 04:22 |
| jthan | if you think that'd be helpful. | 04:22 |
| waltman | The efi isn't on raid | 04:23 |
| jthan | and your efi is fat32? | 04:23 |
| jthan | and is the right size? | 04:23 |
| waltman | please see the gist I posted :) | 04:24 |
| waltman | I mean, I told the installer to make it fat32. | 04:24 |
| waltman | I have no way of telling if it actually did so. | 04:24 |
| jthan | Sure, unless you used fdisk or (gdisk) later. | 04:25 |
| jthan | okay h/o lemme grab the gist | 04:25 |
| jthan | And so what's not working now? Do you get to grub or no? | 04:27 |
| waltman | It tries to boot up and complains "volume group ssd-vg not found | 04:28 |
| jthan | I don't know much about LVM, admittedly. | 04:29 |
| jthan | But it seems likely to me that it's an lvm issue and not an efi/boot issue | 04:30 |
| jthan | Could be completely wrong there. | 04:30 |
| jthan | I think you could avoid this by not using LVM on top of a raid potentially, but I also don't know the Ubuntu installer well to suggest where it might be "confused" | 04:32 |
| jthan | You could just do efi, /boot, and / | 04:35 |
| jthan | obviously not solving your issue, but just avoiding it altogether | 04:36 |
| waltman | I got the pairs of drivs to raid them. I don't care as much about the lvm part | 05:04 |
| waltman | I didn't think efi was going to be an issue | 05:04 |
| jthan | I mean even on the centos installer you can just say "efi + raid" and it takes care of putting it on both drives | 05:07 |
| jthan | so I'm not quite sure how to tell Ubuntu to do it | 05:07 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, critters and everything else | 11:08 |
| waltman | morning | 13:36 |
| waltman | i finally got it to install! | 16:36 |
| waltman | So now…do I install a desktop first, or the nvidia driver first? | 16:36 |
| waltman | Ye gods, that's a lot of packages to install ubuntu-desktop! | 16:57 |
| jthan | waltman: what did you do differently? | 20:40 |
| jthan | nvmd. saw in #plug | 20:41 |
| waltman | yup | 20:58 |
