=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [10:05] hey [10:05] just tried to install 20.04.1 LTS on a ryzen workstation... installer crashed [10:06] was trying to manually partition a ssd and hdd [10:09] a 1tb NVME ssd with 650 mb EFI partition, 32 gb swap, rest / (ext4) [10:11] we have a pretty intrusive firewall, could that be the reason? [10:13] nop: What does it mean, the installer crahsed? What happened? [10:13] did you try again already? [10:15] i'm just trying again [10:15] the GUI installer literally said that it crashed [10:15] i'm just trying again with 1. safe graphics 2. not formatting / mounting the hdd 3. no 3rd party drivers [10:16] the firewall should not cause the installer to crash [10:16] now it worked [10:16] and a 1tb nvme ssd should not make any trouble either [10:16] ok, good^^ [10:16] i had specified a mount point of /mnt/d for the hdd [10:16] the usual "have you tried turning it off and on again" works apparently^^ [10:16] is that a problem? because the usual mountpoints are all in root [10:17] gnrp: that shouldn't be acceptable on linux tho [10:17] if it is not root, why should that be a problem? [10:17] idk maybe it fails to create the directory [10:17] nop: Why not acceptable? We are talking about systems with millions of lines of code. Stuff crashes all the time [10:18] on a production linux system nothing should be crashing [10:18] 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] e.g. a server [10:18] 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... [10:19] 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] oh ok [10:19] the system does not know whether it is necessary, it just sees it fails [10:20] 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] for the very latest nvidia driver i still need to download the installer from nvidia right? [10:20] na, i will enter it in fstab later [10:22] nop: There are the nvidia driver packages, if you enabled using the non-free repositories [10:23] the package nvidia-current is what you arel ooking for === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello
