| mpmc | fossfreedom_: Mind if I pick your brain? Simple question =D Will UB 18.04 have the minimal install option? :) | 10:18 |
|---|---|---|
| fossfreedom_ | mpmc, the announcement of a minimal install option came a bit too late for use to-do something - 18.04 freeze is in a couple of weeks and there isnt enough time to understand what it is, how to implement it, test etc etc | 19:00 |
| fossfreedom_ | s/use/us/ | 19:00 |
| iNeedHealing | Hi | 20:27 |
| iNeedHealing | Anyone able to assist me ? | 20:27 |
| iNeedHealing | I have a problem with installing | 20:27 |
| iNeedHealing | Its stuck on the loading splash for the last hour | 20:27 |
| fossfreedom_ | iNeedHealing, how far through the installation process are you? | 20:28 |
| iNeedHealing | I just said its stuck on splash screen | 20:30 |
| iNeedHealing | That would mean I'm not far past pressing the on button | 20:30 |
| fossfreedom_ | after installation on the reboot - or you just booting the USB for the first time? | 20:30 |
| iNeedHealing | I'm just bottling the USB for the first tine | 20:31 |
| iNeedHealing | Time | 20:31 |
| iNeedHealing | Booting | 20:31 |
| fossfreedom_ | press esc - it should switch to text mode - what is the last couple of lines that you see? | 20:32 |
| iNeedHealing | Nothing happens | 20:32 |
| fossfreedom_ | please describe the splash screen - want to know if you booting UEFI or bios | 20:32 |
| iNeedHealing | Its like Ubuntu's been for years | 20:33 |
| iNeedHealing | Except its purple-blue with Budgie logo | 20:33 |
| fossfreedom_ | k - that is a bios boot | 20:33 |
| iNeedHealing | The 5 dots are there and stuck with all 5 on | 20:33 |
| iNeedHealing | Could have just asked if bios or uefi | 20:33 |
| fossfreedom_ | is this 17.10? | 20:34 |
| iNeedHealing | It's the latest available so yes probably | 20:34 |
| iNeedHealing | Not 1604 | 20:34 |
| fossfreedom_ | what is the m5 hash value of the iso? | 20:34 |
| iNeedHealing | I'll check | 20:35 |
| iNeedHealing_ | I have a picture | 20:38 |
| iNeedHealing_ | https://i.imgur.com/XgP0Su0.jpg | 20:40 |
| fossfreedom_ | k - look at the top of the picture | 20:41 |
| iNeedHealing_ | Yes? | 20:43 |
| fossfreedom_ | you have windows in hibernation - you can't install that way | 20:43 |
| iNeedHealing_ | I don't, I just installed Ubuntu 17.10 | 20:44 |
| fossfreedom_ | well that's the message the installer is saying - you need to resolve that first. | 20:45 |
| iNeedHealing_ | Well I've not booted any other OS since installing Ubuntu | 20:45 |
| fossfreedom_ | you have windows also installed? | 20:45 |
| iNeedHealing_ | Yes, and wouldn't it have affected my Ubuntu and arch install too? | 20:46 |
| fossfreedom_ | At the moment the installer is looking at your NTFS partition for whatever reason - you need to boot back into windows, turn off quick boot/hibernation and shutdown windows cleanly | 20:47 |
| iNeedHealing_ | I remember I had this problem mounting NTFS in Arch and I resolves that months ago | 20:47 |
| iNeedHealing_ | Its already turned off | 20:47 |
| iNeedHealing_ | I'll send a pic of my windows power settings | 20:48 |
| iNeedHealing_ | https://i.imgur.com/Fv5q9Rg.jpg | 20:50 |
| iNeedHealing | my phone died, I'm on my laptop now | 20:50 |
| iNeedHealing | I should also note that I don't get option to try Budgie like I do in 17.10 | 20:52 |
| iNeedHealing | it's buggy on the choosing screen | 20:52 |
| fossfreedom_ | is this your issue with windows ? https://superuser.com/questions/1010084/windows-is-hibernated-refused-to-mount-but-fast-startup-is-disabled-on-window | 20:53 |
| iNeedHealing | I don't have an issue with windows, all my other Linux installs went perfectly and I can mount/operate on my NTFS drives with ease | 20:53 |
| iNeedHealing | I used to have that issue months ago which is now resolves | 20:54 |
| fossfreedom_ | you were getting me the md5 hash for the ISO - what is it? | 20:54 |
| iNeedHealing | I already checked and it's the same as on the website | 20:54 |
| iNeedHealing | I can boot back into Windows and check again | 20:54 |
| iNeedHealing | it should be noted that when I switch to text boot I get complaints of GPU lockup and it freezes after/while loading services | 20:59 |
| iNeedHealing | it's stuck after/in systemd-hostnamed.service | 21:00 |
| iNeedHealing | well looks like I will definitely not be supporting this distro seeing as it doesn't even want to install | 21:08 |
| iNeedHealing | how do you even release something that doesn't work | 21:09 |
| iNeedHealing | ENOTTY errors like really | 21:10 |
| TJ- | Is there an LP project tracking Budgie-specific bugs? specifically the (ubiquity) installer mods? | 21:31 |
| fossfreedom_ | TJ-, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug | 21:32 |
| TJ- | fossfreedom_: Yes, I know that, but I'm looking for specifics for the budgie installer. I'm helping a user who is suffering problems with the 17.10 budgie install that don't affect vanilla ubuntu | 21:34 |
| fossfreedom_ | TJ-, apart from the cosmetics - the installer is exactly the same | 21:34 |
| TJ- | Hmmm, that's reassuring, thanks. Makes identifying the cause more difficult though :) | 21:35 |
| fossfreedom_ | what's the issue TJ- ? | 21:36 |
| TJ- | fossfreedom_: symptom is apparently related to GPU, getting a "NOTTY" error which doesn't affect the /Ubuntu/ 17.10 installer. User confirmed they'd verified the ISO and did the on-media verification check so unlikely to be installer corruption. | 21:39 |
| fossfreedom_ | hmm - regular Ubuntu and UB share the same graphical components TJ- i.e. mutter - so yeah - very odd that there are differences - the screenshot the OP gave just now had windows hibernation cannot mount issues | 21:41 |
| TJ- | That's pretty much expected though; the partition/file-system scan shouldn't affect it. | 21:42 |
| TJ- | I've suggested they use the Ubuntu 17.10 install and then "apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop" so might not get any further data on this | 21:43 |
| fossfreedom_ | TJ-, well - thats a reasonable approach | 21:44 |
| TJ- | I've been hacking on ubiquity for over 10 years so I was hoping to get enough data to figure out the cause and a fix :) | 21:46 |
| fossfreedom_ | ah - 10 years?! wow. dedication - congrats :) | 21:47 |
