| sdhd-sascha | hello, are the any repos for "ubuntu-18.04.3-preinstalled-server" for raspberry pi ? | 18:27 |
|---|---|---|
| sdhd-sascha | there ? | 18:27 |
| === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB | ||

| RoyK | sdhd-sascha: try #raspberrypi | 19:41 |
| sdhd-sascha | RoyK: well, i found this blog post from ubuntu. With 19.10 there should be a offical ubuntu support for raspberry pi 4. Now i wonder where the source for this project is ? ... https://ubuntu.com/blog/roadmap-for-official-support-for-the-raspberry-pi-4 | 19:49 |
| RoyK | sdhd-sascha: I'd use 19.10 https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/raspberry-pi | 19:53 |
| sdhd-sascha | RoyK: thank you. I will have a look. I hope this image is able to boot over network. Currently i have booted Debian-Buster over network with pi4 | 19:55 |
| RoyK | sdhd-sascha: probably better to flash an sd card | 19:55 |
| sdhd-sascha | RoyK: oh, i already tried this image ... well, then i need to compile u-boot and/or the kernel myself. I also asked at @raspberrypi for the offical source repo... thank you | 20:00 |
| RoyK | sdhd-sascha: it's in the sources repos | 20:09 |
| sdhd-sascha | RoyK: awkward ;-) you are right ;-D | 20:10 |
| RoyK | sdhd-sascha: good luck :) | 20:23 |
| lopta | Does the installer help if I want to install onto a mirrored pair of SATA disks? | 21:39 |
| lopta | (md, not ZFS) | 21:39 |
| tomreyn | should. if you want it more customized, use the alternative installer. if you want it even more customized, use debootstrap. | 21:41 |
| tomreyn | i'm referring to ubuntu server 18.04.3+ | 21:41 |
| * lopta checks his iso directory | 21:43 | |
| lopta | Is 19.10 out yet? | 21:43 |
| tomreyn | which year and month is it? | 21:43 |
| lopta | November 2019 | 21:43 |
| tomreyn | so the year 2019, month 11, hmm | 21:44 |
| * lopta interprets that as a "yes" | 21:44 | |
| tomreyn | well done! | 21:44 |
| lopta | Sounds as though you chaps stick fairly rigidly to your release schedule. | 21:47 |
| lopta | Do I need a text installer to install onto a mirror or is the server installer always text? | 21:49 |
| tomreyn | lopta: it's always text. and it can create the mirror for you (in fact i think it will want to) | 21:50 |
| lopta | Thanks, that sounds great. | 21:51 |
| RoyK | lopta: the "alternate" installer should do fine here - that's the old one. the new one sucks outright | 21:53 |
| lopta | RoyK: That's handy to know! | 21:53 |
| RoyK | no idea why they made it - it's flashy, looks good, blablabla, but it stops there | 21:54 |
| lopta | Is that on a separate .iso? | 21:55 |
| RoyK | lopta: if I were you, I'd use LVM on top of md as well, but then, people sometimes disagree there | 21:55 |
| lopta | Ah, found it. | 21:55 |
| RoyK | goodie | 21:56 |
| mwhudson | RoyK: do you have specific complaints about the new installer? | 21:57 |
| RoyK | I just realised it must be right about now it's 25 years since I installed Linux for the first time :D | 21:58 |
| lopta | I'm an old fart, if that helps. | 21:58 |
| lopta | ...first installed Linux for a friend from a stack of 5.25" 1200K floppies. | 21:58 |
| RoyK | mwhudson: I had when I first tried it, and when I tried the v1.1, and then I didn't care, since either I used the alternate installer or just debian | 21:59 |
| mwhudson | RoyK: ok, well it is hopefully better now | 21:59 |
| RoyK | mwhudson: I hope so | 21:59 |
| mwhudson | hmm 21 years since my first install i think | 21:59 |
| mwhudson | rh5 | 21:59 |
| RoyK | lopta: are you sure? | 22:00 |
| lopta | RoyK: I'm sure they weren't 1.2M ;-) | 22:00 |
| RoyK | those 5.25 floppies went out of style in the eightees and the initial linux kernel came out in 1991 | 22:00 |
| lopta | RoyK: I didn't say we were fashionable. | 22:01 |
| RoyK | mwhudson: so just old buggers hanging around here, then :D | 22:01 |
| lopta | I haven't done a lot with Linux in the years since that first install. | 22:12 |
| lopta | ...but I do have an Ubuntu Server box in the office running a utility thing | 22:12 |
| lopta | ...and I'm about to try it on an actual server. | 22:13 |
| RoyK | probably works | 22:13 |
| RoyK | what are the plans for the server? storage or application? | 22:13 |
| RoyK | or just "misc"? ;) | 22:14 |
| lopta | RoyK: Short term storage and just to familiarise myself with Ubuntu Server, if possible. | 22:14 |
| RoyK | ok | 22:14 |
| RoyK | one advice - if you want to install things like a web server, perhaps nextcloud, something else, do it in a VM if you have sufficient memory | 22:15 |
| lordcirth_ | Or LXC container, they are lighter | 22:15 |
| RoyK | if something goes wrong in that vm, well, it's just a vm, not a big issue | 22:15 |
| * lopta nods | 22:15 | |
| RoyK | lordcirth_: same thing, really - but I stick to kvm still | 22:15 |
| lopta | brb, plugging in a USB flash drive to write the image to. | 22:16 |
| RoyK | kernel stuff is hard or impossible in lxc | 22:16 |
| lordcirth_ | Yeah, but nextcloud, etc don't need "kernel stuff" | 22:16 |
| lordcirth_ | I do have ip_vs loaded by the host so that HAProxy works in LXC. | 22:16 |
| RoyK | lordcirth_: I know, perhaps I'm just lazy or that I like to sometimes have different distros or versions installed, and the isolation is still far better on kvm - but hell - both work | 22:18 |
| lordcirth_ | Ubuntu 18.04 containers do run on 16.04 hosts, btw. | 22:18 |
| lordcirth_ | Quite handy at $WORK | 22:19 |
| RoyK | whatever you fancy :) | 22:21 |
| * RoyK sticks to kvm | 22:21 | |
| lopta | I suppose I should learn containers too, at some point. | 22:31 |
| lopta | Probably Ubuntu Server first though. | 22:31 |
| lopta | ...should be back tomorrow, hopefully. | 22:32 |
