| suntong | Hi, so I DL the ISO QA Tracker from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/429/builds, but found I cannot boot from the .iso with my usual method any more. Is this a known issue? | 19:36 |
| suntong | Basically they way I boot all my live .iso are documented at https://dev.to/suntong/maintenance-free-system-multi-booting-1dpk#iso | 19:36 |
| suntong | loopback loop "$iso_path" | 19:38 |
| suntong | menuentry 'Live (amd64)' { | 19:38 |
| suntong | bootoptions="boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$iso_path noeject noprompt" | 19:38 |
| suntong | linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz $bootoptions | 19:38 |
| suntong | initrd (loop)/casper/initrd | 19:38 |
| suntong | } | 19:38 |
| suntong | is the main part *that I* has always been using | 19:40 |
| suntong | "Cannot send to nick/channel" | 20:50 |
| suntong | is it for somebody else, or for my several messages above? | 20:50 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> dont multiline paste or you get rate limited | 20:52 |
| teward | you were temporarily muted for spamming lines. use a pastebin instead for multiline pasting. | 20:53 |
| teward | !pastebin | suntong | 20:53 |
| ubottu | suntong: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 20:53 |
| suntong | gotcha, will do... | 20:54 |
| teward | so you said it isnt working "like it normally does" - the beta release is just that, a beta, but what is "normal" and what are you seeing are the real questions. | 20:55 |
| suntong | I understand what beta means, but booting from the .iso has been a standard practice for years. | 20:57 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> i'll have to do a test later to see if i can repro your approach here but i dont think Ubuntu ISOs are guaranteed especially at this point in the xycle to boot in this way. what errors DO you see or get when you try? | 20:58 |
| suntong | it is very unlikely to fail, both from .iso generation part, or from .iso booting part, unless something has dramatically changed. | 20:58 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> because its not clear here what actually happens and what errors you get vs. your normal approach | 20:58 |
| suntong | my normal approach is documented at https://dev.to/suntong/maintenance-free-system-multi-booting-1dpk#iso | 21:01 |
| suntong | and I post the main part in https://paste.debian.net/1236315/ | 21:01 |
| suntong | when boot from .iso, it keeps saying cannot read from `/dev/sr0`, which should have been pointing to .iso content instead. | 21:02 |
| suntong | Thanks for trying out booting from the .iso, or to repro my approach. | 21:04 |
| teward | will take a while 'cause i'm busy. i know direct ISO boot (a-la the Direct Boot from the USB stick or DVD) works, even in VMs, so you'll have to wait a while since i have work | 21:05 |
| suntong | OK. NP. | 21:08 |
| suntong | Just booting from an .iso file would be a better approach for most people I'd assume, as they don't need a spare USB stick, or consume a DVD just for one-time testing. | 21:08 |
| suntong | is there a telegram group that I can join instead? | 21:11 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> I think the link is in the topic. | 21:53 |
