| GreatEmerald | How do I install Lubuntu 18.10 on a device that has less than 1 GiB RAM? The graphical installer doesn't allow proceeding, there is no alternative ISO produced for it yet... I guess I should use the terminal? | 15:42 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | GreatEmerald, it should install just fine | 15:43 |
| GreatEmerald | diogenes_: I know (I have 16 GiB of swap on an SSD, for one), but the installer doesn't allow continuing | 15:44 |
| GreatEmerald | It says it requires exactly 1 GiB of RAM, and my device has 768 MiB | 15:44 |
| GreatEmerald | It would be nice if there was an option to continue regardless, but I'm not sure where to look | 15:45 |
| diogenes_ | maybe insert the drive into a different pc, install there then put it back | 15:46 |
| GreatEmerald | It's a netbook, so that's not going to happen | 15:47 |
| GreatEmerald | Hm, if I can run ubiquity with --only, it says it requires less RAM | 15:47 |
| GreatEmerald | But even if I select the "install" option from GRUB, it starts LXQt rather than just Ubiquity | 15:48 |
| GreatEmerald | Otherwise, maybe I can use subiquity or Debina Installer | 15:48 |
| diogenes_ | then you should modify the installatiion script | 15:49 |
| GreatEmerald | diogenes_: What do you mean | 15:49 |
| GreatEmerald | Hm, subiquity is available in universe | 15:50 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | GreatEmerald: netinstall? | 16:00 |
| === lynn_ is now known as gryphon | ||
| GreatEmerald | JohnDoe_71Rus: I don't think there's an ISO for netinstall either | 17:39 |
| wxl | mini.iso? | 17:40 |
| GreatEmerald | I tried to run both calamares and ubiquity, but they do eat more RAM than there is available, so it just gets swapped out indefinitely, hmm | 17:40 |
| GreatEmerald | wxl: I don't think there is one for Lubuntu 18.10 either | 17:40 |
| wxl | GreatEmerald: the netinstall/mini.iso is not for any flavour. you install the core system and then metapackages | 17:41 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | wxl: yes | 17:41 |
| GreatEmerald | wxl: I didn't see one for 18.10 though | 17:41 |
| lyn||orian | GreatEmerald, not on cdimage | 17:45 |
| wxl | GreatEmerald: if you're looking on cdimage, it's the wrong place | 17:45 |
| wxl | gmta | 17:45 |
| wxl | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu546/images/netboot/ | 17:45 |
| GreatEmerald | Oh | 17:45 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/main/ | 17:46 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | inside installer | 17:46 |
| wxl | just pick the rich arch | 17:46 |
| lyn||orian | how did I know about this | 17:46 |
| wxl | qa testing probably | 17:47 |
| wxl | it's so fun, once you start you can't stop | 17:47 |
| GreatEmerald | Also, subiquity almost worked, it just somehow didn't manage to see partitions on disk | 17:48 |
| GreatEmerald | It thought the disk was not partitioned | 17:48 |
| lyn||orian | hmm does cosmic take a while to install or has it not been that long it was rebuilding when I logged on and is still rebuilding | 17:49 |
| alkisg | GreatEmerald: what's the exact message about 1 gb not being enough, so that I look into the sources? | 17:58 |
| GreatEmerald | alkisg: That's from Calamares, first screen where it checks whether it's connected to the internet, etc. | 17:59 |
| alkisg | GreatEmerald: ah, you're not using ubiquity? ok | 17:59 |
| GreatEmerald | alkisg: Calamares is default in the 18.10 LiveCD | 17:59 |
| alkisg | I thought all ubuntu flavours used ubiquity.. is that for lubuntu only? | 17:59 |
| lyn||orian | I think Clamares is checking | 18:00 |
| alkisg | 18.10? Is there an alpha for that already? | 18:00 |
| lyn||orian | daily | 18:00 |
| lyn||orian | is there a reason thie is not in -devel? | 18:00 |
| alkisg | GreatEmerald: well, for alpha versions, you could always install 18.04 and update sources.list to 18.10 :) | 18:05 |
| lyn||orian | I never upgrade that way I think do-release-upgrade -d for the development release I never edit soruces directly if I don't have to | 18:06 |
| alkisg | I don't think do-release-upgrade works that early in the cycle | 18:08 |
| lyn||orian | it does I think | 18:09 |
| lyn||orian | hang on I may launch an 18.04 VM and try it | 18:10 |
