[01:44] Woot! (x)ubuntu core 18.04 installs with no issues :)) [03:03] my Xen VM failed to boot when my initrd.img was 49 MB, I went most -> dep in initramfs.conf, the initrd.img now was 20MB and boot worked. The initrd.img still seems very large for a virtual machine [03:04] pygrub can grab too much memory and fail === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [05:28] lotuspsychje: " sysop@x1804mini:~$ " on the core install . [05:32] cool [05:34] Bashing-om: xubuntu or desktop? [05:35] lotuspsychje: This time on a new SSD the core install went smooth as butter - no issues either with 18.04 in this version :) [05:36] df -h ? [05:36] lotuspsychje: Presently have both standard ubuntu and xubuntu-core installed . [05:37] cool [05:38] lotuspsychje: http://termbin.com/ml38 . [05:39] Bashing-om: wow, tight n clean! [05:41] lotuspsychje: Look'n good : http://termbin.com/9vdv . [05:44] lotuspsychje: Wonders why the lables ^^ did not carry over .. humm .. a bit nore futzing to do yet . [05:44] sweet :p [05:46] madghost: see topic for daily iso's [05:47] madghost: 18.04 still in development, but already in a stable stage [05:47] madghost: and we always seek testers/buggers [05:49] ChmEarl: yeah my 18.04 initramfs here is 160 MB uncompressed, so I imagine the system won't boot with less than 200 MB RAM anymore... [05:49] The amdgpu firmware is to blame for a lot of this [05:50] nice ) cool, this is a good day :-) [05:50] morning alkisg [05:50] Good morning guys === est31 is now known as est === pesari_ is now known as pesari === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar === cybik_ is now known as cybik === stryx`_ is now known as stryx` [10:24] is there a server/netinstall daily .iso I could fetch for 18.04? [10:24] ah there it is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ [10:25] no i386 :-( === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer === marathone is now known as marathon [11:51] thresh: you probably want the ubuntu-server-live instead. but there is probably no i686 iso for this either (have not checked though) [11:53] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/ [11:54] right, just amd64, arm64 and ppc64el [11:54] I don't need a live cd no; that iso will go to a packer json file, to generate a golden image I'll use in my cloud [11:54] (I'll update it to GA version when it's out) [11:55] and yeah, seems like server i386 images are dropped like desktop ones in the previous versions [11:55] I don't mind really, less packages to build for me :) [12:24] thresh: daily-live is the new ubuntu server installer, the one you downloaded is the classic one and did not work for me when i tried it a few days ago. [12:24] it was inherently broken [12:25] the daily-live one, however, worked fine [12:25] oh [12:25] it worked here [12:25] okay, so i just hit a bad daily then i guess [12:26] still i'd recommend considering to use the new one, since it will replace the old one sooner or later [12:26] it is also a lot nicer to use for manual installations (i do not know about the automation POV) [12:27] yeah, good to know [12:27] I'm relying on a horrible mess of inputing chars char by char via VNC now to automate the install :-) [12:27] omg [12:27] you know about pressding, right? [12:27] *preseeding [12:27] sure, and that's what I use [12:28] why do you still need to input characters on vnc then? [12:28] when you boot up the iso on kvm you need to tell it where to fetch the preseed from [12:29] https://github.com/kaorimatz/packer-templates/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.json [12:29] see boot_command [12:29] does kvm not support netbooting? [12:29] I know the proper solution is to use ipxe [12:29] that's what i'd think, yes [12:29] but I have no idea if it's implemented in kvm or in packer [12:30] i dont know packer, but i bet there's netbooting in kvm [12:30] I would think so too [12:33] https://serverfault.com/questions/850853/private-pxe-boot-network-with-kvm [12:33] the question is irrelevant, just read the answr [12:34] yup so it works with kvm [12:35] and is really easy to use :) [12:39] yes, I do have it set up for baremetal servers provisioning === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [13:26] Is it Gnome 3.28 in Ubuntu 18.04? [13:26] yes [13:26] Cool. [13:27] akem: and nautilus 3.26 [13:27] !info gnome-shell [13:27] gnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): graphical shell for the GNOME desktop. In component main, is optional. Version 3.28.0-0ubuntu2 (bionic), package size 675 kB, installed size 7395 kB [13:31] I hope they will fix the gnome-shell mem-leak bug quickly or it could really impact user experience for next LTS. [13:32] In 3.28 they fixed a gnome-system-monitor bug, reversed infos on disk read/write, i still got it here on 17.10. [13:33] Not that important this one, just wrong infos displayed. [13:34] !info vlc [13:34] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.1-3 (bionic), package size 31 kB, installed size 153 kB [13:34] There is something wrong with package size on the bot? :) [13:35] akem: article i readed says they taking care of memory bug [13:35] akem: package size and install size is a different thing [13:37] akem: and with all the dependecys, even more [13:38] lotuspsychje, yea i know it's like compressed when packaged, but only few Kb there? [13:41] I use gnome-shell-extensions also, i didn't know about them, they are great for customisation, installed via the browser on the website / at first i tought it would something be based on the browsers' engine or something. [13:43] akem, https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/vlc/filelist [13:43] it's just a virtual package [13:43] well, poor wording [13:44] it's not virtual, but "common" stuff with depends on other packages [13:44] Ha ok, it's just the description of some sort, nm. === zanshin_ is now known as zanshin === Toledo is now known as croberts === phoenix_firebrd is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as phoenix_firebrd === phoenix_firebrd is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as phoenix_firebrd === simonquigley is now known as tsimonq2 [16:55] Here is my version of the gnome-shell workaround if anyone is interested https://pastebin.com/dzPa1bid [17:06] anyone using touchpad-indicator? === knitt1_ is now known as knittl === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [20:30] hello, have you noticed poor flash player performance on firefox? [20:34] Flash player in 2018? [20:34] some pages still require it [20:35] I didn't know. [20:35] :) [21:16] Do you know why Ubuntu switched from Unity to Gnome btw? because Unity seemed well functionnal and integrated in previous versions. [21:17] akem: it was costing Canonical too much to maintain [21:19] Ok, so because of costs. I didn't know it could be costly for them. [21:20] akem: employing all the developers is expensive [21:22] TJ-, i though it was a decentralized project with maybe just a little team on top guiding stuff, like some other projects. [21:24] akem: no [21:25] akem: see e.g. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/06/canonical_cuts_jobs_with_unity_bullet/ [21:29] Interesting. [21:54] would anyone feel like helping me understand how to make any of the 18.04 installers boot properly on a GPD pocket, and how to install ubuntu there so it'll boot? [21:56] with the extra difficulties of FDE and internet access thorugh usb<->ethernet device [21:57] i got 18.04 running there (upgraded from a respun installer found on the internet) but not encrypted, and i can't tell which modifications were made. [21:58] any of the default 18.04 installers just run into a black screen when leaving single user mode, i think [21:59] nomodeset does not help, vga=791 does not help [22:01] i guess i could debootstrap it from a recovery iso or something [22:19] how can i download prerelease [22:22] any mirror of daily build? [22:22] marquezini: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/HEADER.html [22:23] nacc, tk [22:23] ask a question for me [22:24] if i update this daily build after the lts is released i get the latest system without the bug that come in pre-release versions? [22:24] marquezini: 'the bug'? [22:24] bugs [22:24] marquezini: well, presuming those bugs are fixed, sure [22:24] not "the bug" "bugs" [22:25] ok [22:25] ok [22:25] marquezini: obviously not all bugs are fixed [22:25] working well, fine for me [22:30] actually the (new) server live-installer starts fine on the gpd [22:30] it doesn't detect existing partitons, though [23:21] Sometimes on 17.10 when i reboot i got my login screen upside down, i'm using the NVidia drivers, i wonder if i should report it. [23:22] I rebooted and my screen is back normal without changing anything. [23:22] akem: 17.10 is in #ubuntu [23:23] Oh right sorry.
