[15:42] <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?
[15:43] <diogenes_> GreatEmerald, it should install just fine
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <GreatEmerald> It would be nice if there was an option to continue regardless, but I'm not sure where to look
[15:46] <diogenes_> maybe insert the drive into a different pc, install there then put it back
[15:47] <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
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <diogenes_> then you should modify the installatiion script
[15:49] <GreatEmerald> diogenes_: What do you mean
[15:50] <GreatEmerald> Hm, subiquity is available in universe
[16:00] <JohnDoe_71Rus> GreatEmerald: netinstall?
[17:39] <GreatEmerald> JohnDoe_71Rus: I don't think there's an ISO for netinstall either
[17:40] <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
[17:41] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <wxl> qa testing probably
[17:47] <wxl> it's so fun, once you start you can't stop
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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
[17:58] <alkisg> GreatEmerald: what's the exact message about 1 gb not being enough, so that I look into the sources?
[17:59] <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?
[18:00] <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?
[18:05] <alkisg> GreatEmerald: well, for alpha versions, you could always install 18.04 and update sources.list to 18.10 :)
[18:06] <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
[18:08] <alkisg> I don't think do-release-upgrade works that early in the cycle
[18:09] <lyn||orian> it does I think
[18:10] <lyn||orian> hang on I may launch an 18.04 VM and try it
