| jayjo_ | I'm trying to install ubuntu server onto a small machine, but I only have a wireless usb keyboard available. The keyboard doesn't seem responsive. I also have a COM to USB port - can I connect to a terminal with screen on my main machine and install from there? | 19:59 |
| sarnold | jayjo_: try adding something like console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/serial-console.html | 20:05 |
| RoyK | sarnold: you probably should run a getty on that serial port as well | 20:14 |
| sarnold | RoyK: can you do that from the installer? I haven't got a clue if serial console 'works' for installing these days; I hoped this would 'just work', you know? :) | 20:16 |
| tomreyn | someone whose first name is mark filed a bug about serial console support being complicated around 18.04, and i think it got improved since. haven't gotten around to try, yet, though. | 20:25 |
| RoyK | sarnold: never done it from the installer - dunno | 20:25 |
| RoyK | sarnold: but the console won't normally start a getty, just spit out kernel messages | 20:26 |

| sarnold | "No feedback, no party. That's bug comment of the week, for sure :)" :D | 20:32 |
| jayjo_ | I can access the serial port OK on the machine through the bios and through selecting "Install Ubuntu Server" but that's as far as it goes. I think I'll have to go source a wired USB keyboard. | 21:55 |
| sarnold | jayjo_: bugger :( thanks for reporting back | 21:55 |
| sarnold | jayjo_: it might be worth a bug report, though, since I think we thought this was supposed to work | 21:55 |
