[06:23] <okdana> hello, i'm getting a subiquity crash every time i try to install 18.04.4
[06:23] <okdana> i've reported it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1844118/comments/3
[06:23] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1844118 in subiquity "crash on edit logical partition" [Undecided,Expired]
[06:23] <okdana> but i was hoping someone might have some work-around ideas...?
[07:01] <mwhudson> okdana: ugggh can MBR please die
[07:01] <mwhudson> okdana: looks like a bug, hopefully a simple fix
[07:06] <mwhudson> okdana: commented on the bug but could you try a focal daily from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/pending/? it will probably fail to but the crash file should be saved to the usb stick you are installing from with focal
[07:25] <okdana> oh, sorry, i was experimenting with it
[07:25] <okdana> i've been using a dvd, but i'll find a usb stick somewhere
[07:27] <mwhudson> okdana: oh wow you actually wrote the iso to optical media?
[07:28] <mwhudson> okdana: i've been assuming noone does that any more, good to know that's not true i guess
[07:28] <okdana> yes, i have been reliving the bad old days trying to get this set up to triple-boot with xp
[07:28] <okdana> it's been an ordeal
[07:29] <mwhudson> okdana: did you try the desktop installer?
[07:29] <mwhudson> not sure if that's going to be better for this, different at least
[07:29] <okdana> yes, but the desk-top installer's partitioning thing uses base-10
[07:30] <okdana> so when i try to edit the partitions, it thinks i'm trying to resize them, because they're not exactly the same
[07:30] <okdana> or at least that's how it seems
[07:33] <okdana> now that i finally have my two windows partitions installed correctly, all of the alignment is right, &c., i don't really want to say yes to the scary warning it gives me about resizing them to find out if it's actually trying to do that or if it just says that
[07:34] <mwhudson> ah
[07:35] <mwhudson> yeah that doesn't sound fun
[07:35] <mwhudson> okdana: alternative approach, switch to a shell and run sudo probert | pastebinit
[07:37] <okdana> had to apt install probert
[07:37] <okdana> then when i run it it crashes
[07:38] <okdana> 'NetworkInfo' object has no attribute 'ip'
[07:39] <mwhudson> oh sorry subiquity.probert
[07:41] <mwhudson> hm no
[07:41] <mwhudson> probert should work in a live session
[07:45] <okdana> subiquity.probert works but i don't see any of the crash information
[07:45] <okdana> is that expected
[07:46] <mwhudson> no
[07:46] <mwhudson> but i see the same and i don't quite know what's going on
[07:47] <mwhudson> probert is installed (and working) in the focal iso though
[07:47] <okdana> k
[07:47] <okdana> almost done with that
[07:47] <mwhudson> anyway, i've read the code now and i think https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/subiquity/pull/640 is the fix
[07:48] <okdana> that does seem promising
[07:49] <okdana> i also noticed in the filesystem model that it unconditionally subtracts GPT_OVERHEAD
[07:49] <okdana> idk if that's an issue
[07:49] <okdana> https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/subiquity/blob/master/subiquity/models/filesystem.py#L616
[07:49] <okdana> it's only 2 MiB or whatever so maybe it doesn't matter
[07:50] <okdana> is there any way i can apply your patch to a running system? i was trying to figure out how to overlay-mount over the snap thing but i didn't have any luck
[07:52] <mwhudson> oh yeah i guess that's possibly an issue
[07:52] <mwhudson> you can bind mount things over /snap/subiquity or whatever but it's very tedious
[07:53] <mwhudson> okdana: i'm building a snap, i'll publish it to a branch and you can refresh to it, will take a couple minutes
[07:53] <okdana> cool, ty
[07:55] <mwhudson> okdana: snap refresh --channel edge/lp1844118 subiquity
[07:55] <okdana> i should do that on the focal one?
[07:56] <mwhudson> either
[07:58] <okdana> it doesn't crash any more
[07:59] <okdana> i had already deleted my final 'remainder' partition to see if that'd clear the issue
[08:00] <okdana> so i don't think that confirms anything about GPT_OVERHEAD
[08:01] <okdana> i think it's good with the way i had it though, it's taking me through all of the package settings and stuff
[08:01] <mwhudson> okdana: yeah i guess the mbr overhead is lower, should probably account for that too
[08:01] <mwhudson> (this is all a bit stupid because we don't allow editing the size of the partitions or even adding more partitions to an existing one)
[08:02] <mwhudson> anyway sounds like this PR helps (and it makes sense too)
[08:03] <okdana> yeah i have to say it's been a bit frustrating with the base-10 thing and having to set it up separately with parted and stuff
[08:03] <okdana> normally when i install ubuntu i use up the whole disk so i haven't had to deal with it before
[08:03] <okdana> i agree that it helps though
[08:04] <okdana> thank you very much for helping me so quickly
[08:04] <mwhudson> okdana: thanks for testing the fix!
[08:05] <okdana> for sure
[08:10]  * mwhudson afk for a while
[10:45] <sanekmin> pls, help!
[10:46] <sanekmin> I need disable apt-get because he autostarting and use cpu
[10:46] <sanekmin> i starting webmin and webmin starting apt-get -_-
