| alkisg | Has anyone tried jammy-live-server-amd64.iso? I'm trying to install it with 2 "custom partitions" (ext4+swap), and it keeps crashing... | 07:10 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Meh, it appears it can't handle ext4+swap; by leaving the defaults partitioning, it continued | 07:14 |
| alkisg | ...and it created a GPT disk even though it was already formatted in MBR and booted in BIOS mode :/ | 07:26 |
| ravage | there is nothing wrong with GPT in general :D | 07:46 |
| ravage | i can test the live iso. but maybe you can just file a report with the logs it creates? | 07:47 |
| ravage | alkisg: swap 2G and rest ext4 works here | 07:56 |
| alkisg | ravage: thank you for testing; was that MBR/BIOS? | 07:57 |
| ravage | it only lets me select GPT buy es its not UEFI :) | 07:57 |
| ravage | *yes | 07:57 |
| alkisg | I also didn't like the part where it didn't allow me to reuse an existing partition, it wanted me to format it... | 07:58 |
| ravage | im not a big fan of the installer in general :) | 07:59 |
| alkisg | I ended up installing on a temporary disk, squashfs'ing it, then moving it to the proper destination | 07:59 |
| ravage | but i did not try that right now | 07:59 |
| ravage | my new jammy installer for my servers is a bash script from PXE to avoid it :D | 07:59 |
| alkisg | Yeah I think it's a long way from filing bug reports to fix minor issues... | 07:59 |
| alkisg | The old-style installer isn't available anywhere now, is it? | 08:00 |
| alkisg | E.g. mini.iso or netboot.iso? | 08:00 |
| ravage | it is not :( | 08:00 |
| alkisg | #$(#*&(#$*& if you'll allow me that language :D | 08:00 |
| ravage | :D | 08:00 |
| * alkisg has piled up several lines of code to undo all the new style stuff, from netplan to snap... | 08:01 | |
| ravage | im back to debootstrap :D | 08:01 |
| alkisg | ravage: what are you using for server networking? E.g. netplan, ifupdown, nm, networkd? | 08:01 |
| ravage | i left netplan in place for now | 08:02 |
| ravage | yaml is a good config format in general as long as you dont have to manually edit it on the console at the datacenter | 08:03 |
| ravage | and i dont have to do that myself often :) | 08:03 |
| alkisg | The reason for netplan to exist never made sense for me; a third "common" format as a layer above nm or networkd; eh, just choose one of them and create a converter, don't create a third format... | 08:04 |
| ravage | yes. most of my servers are debian anyway. they keep adding reasons to stay there :) | 08:08 |
| tarzeau | lotuspsychje: if you want to try photoqt ? | 12:04 |
| tarzeau | ravage: do you have some automatic for partitioning/filesystemwriting apart from debootstrap? | 12:04 |
| tarzeau | alkisg: we also have a pile of undoing all the new style stuff .. would like to compare/see yours </telepathy> | 12:05 |
| tarzeau | ravage: i wasn't able to persuade my management yet to move back to debian :'( maybe next LTS (24.04) | 12:06 |
| tarzeau | i was wondering if there's people using/buying ubuntu-advantage, who they are, and how they're happy with it? | 12:07 |
| ravage | tarzeau: for now it only does some basic partitioning. only dynamic part is that it will create a RAID1 if 2 drives of the same site are found | 12:36 |
| tarzeau | ravage: no md, lvm, xfs, btrfs support and any combination of them? | 12:36 |
| tarzeau | ^ because that's what i'll be needing, but i plan to do it myself anyways, and also release it as part of revised ruptime implementation | 12:37 |
| ravage | the raid1 is lvm | 12:41 |
| ravage | but i dont plan to replace all partitioning schemes of the debian installer | 12:41 |
| tarzeau | i have these two things: | 12:42 |
| tarzeau | https://github.com/alexmyczko/autoexec.bat/blob/master/diskcom (well not really related to the partitioning part, but i have fun with it) | 12:43 |
| tarzeau | http://www.aiei.ch/gnustep/install.txt hopelessly outdated, but i'd build on that | 12:43 |
| tarzeau | https://github.com/alexmyczko/ruptime for rdisks (not yet implemented) it'll print all storage devices, sorted by speed (read speed, but that's enough for me) | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | tarzeau: photoqt launcher is a default gear here | 16:11 |
| lotuspsychje | the app itself looks great | 16:12 |
| tarzeau | lotuspsychje: have fun :) | 18:26 |
