[00:38] <tomreyn> that's lovely!
[16:47] <fatbrain> Hi, is there a way to install 18.04-lts server on mbr instead of gpt?
[16:54] <tumbleweed> boot via legacy BIOS, not UEFI
[16:57] <fatbrain> my system doesnt support UEFI
[17:08] <tomreyn> fatbrain: so it'll be straight forward, i guess
[19:12] <foo> I migrated from old digital ocean droplet to a new one. Same server specs. Ubuntu 14.04 to 18.04 (fresh install). I'm having a strange issue where some of my processes are hanging and building up (eg. ones that run every minute). I see this when I strace it, wait4(-1, ... until it dies: https://paste.ofcode.org/EHDvp2N6Y9cpbt2yNVAJ2v - can anyone else here make sense of this?
[21:55] <fatbrain> tumbleweed, tomreyn: problem is that when I install the installed automatically partitions the disk using GPT instead of MBR. My system refuses to boot the using the "legacy bios" 1M grub core.img partition.
[21:56] <tumbleweed> is that the new installer? I don't know much about that
[21:57] <tomreyn> fatbrain: try the alternative server installer then. this, however, will also default to gpt partition tables if storages are >= 2 TB
[21:57] <fatbrain> tumbleweed: probably, haven't installed since 16.04 don't remember what that looked like
[21:58] <fatbrain> tomreyn: my system storage is 120GB, I'll try the alternative installer.
[21:58] <tomreyn> also be sure to create msdos/mbr partition tables before you start the installer. it would not replace the existing gpt's
