| nop | hey | 10:05 |
|---|---|---|
| nop | just tried to install 20.04.1 LTS on a ryzen workstation... installer crashed | 10:05 |
| nop | was trying to manually partition a ssd and hdd | 10:06 |
| nop | a 1tb NVME ssd with 650 mb EFI partition, 32 gb swap, rest / (ext4) | 10:09 |
| nop | we have a pretty intrusive firewall, could that be the reason? | 10:11 |
| gnrp | nop: What does it mean, the installer crahsed? What happened? | 10:13 |
| gnrp | did you try again already? | 10:13 |
| nop | i'm just trying again | 10:15 |
| nop | the GUI installer literally said that it crashed | 10:15 |
| nop | i'm just trying again with 1. safe graphics 2. not formatting / mounting the hdd 3. no 3rd party drivers | 10:15 |
| gnrp | the firewall should not cause the installer to crash | 10:16 |
| nop | now it worked | 10:16 |
| gnrp | and a 1tb nvme ssd should not make any trouble either | 10:16 |
| gnrp | ok, good^^ | 10:16 |
| nop | i had specified a mount point of /mnt/d for the hdd | 10:16 |
| gnrp | the usual "have you tried turning it off and on again" works apparently^^ | 10:16 |
| nop | is that a problem? because the usual mountpoints are all in root | 10:16 |
| nop | gnrp: that shouldn't be acceptable on linux tho | 10:17 |
| gnrp | if it is not root, why should that be a problem? | 10:17 |
| nop | idk maybe it fails to create the directory | 10:17 |
| gnrp | nop: Why not acceptable? We are talking about systems with millions of lines of code. Stuff crashes all the time | 10:17 |
| nop | on a production linux system nothing should be crashing | 10:18 |
| gnrp | I don't know if the installer does it. If not, your system will probably refuse to boot and you have to create the mount point | 10:18 |
| nop | e.g. a server | 10:18 |
| nop | the mount is not necessary its just a scratch disk | 10:18 |
| * gnrp tries to remember a server he had that never crashed. Nope, empty list... | 10:18 | |
| gnrp | nop: Doesn't matter if it is necessary, it depends on how it is entered in fstab. If it is marked as auto and the mount fails, the boot will fail | 10:19 |
| nop | oh ok | 10:19 |
| gnrp | the system does not know whether it is necessary, it just sees it fails | 10:19 |
| gnrp | if you want to make that user-controlled, don't specify a mountpoint and you can do it via thunar. Then it will be mounted in /media/$username, though | 10:20 |
| nop | for the very latest nvidia driver i still need to download the installer from nvidia right? | 10:20 |
| nop | na, i will enter it in fstab later | 10:20 |
| gnrp | nop: There are the nvidia driver packages, if you enabled using the non-free repositories | 10:22 |
| gnrp | the package nvidia-current is what you arel ooking for | 10:23 |
