[07:06] <slave_blocker> hello
[07:06] <slave_blocker> i have a 250 gb ssd, on a desktop in my lan with a xeon e3 1270.
[07:07] <slave_blocker> i downloaded ubuntu server 22.04, flashed a usb stick with that iso. 
[07:08] <slave_blocker> i boot from the usb stick on the machine start the install .
[07:08] <slave_blocker> It is giving me the error that it can't install the grub
[07:08] <slave_blocker> installing xubuntu desktop works 
[07:09] <slave_blocker> please help
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> pastebin the errors you getting and share with this channel slave_blocker 
[07:10] <slave_blocker> how?
[07:11] <slave_blocker> put the logs to another usb stick?
[07:11] <arraybolt3> slave_blocker: That would work.
[07:12] <slave_blocker> is that option available during the install?
[07:13] <slave_blocker> could it be that i activated "native hdd instead of ahci in the bios?
[07:14] <arraybolt3> slave_blocker: Hmm, actually I don't know exactly how that works. You might be able to drop to a terminal to extract the logs (try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3).
[07:17] <slave_blocker>  could it be that i activated "native hdd instead of ahci in the bios?" and thats why it is not working?
[07:17] <arraybolt3> Like Intel RST?
[07:17] <arraybolt3> Yeah, Intel RST could cause problems.
[07:18] <slave_blocker> ?
[07:18] <slave_blocker> ok i will change it to ahci on the internal peripherals on the sata i dont know what
[07:19] <slave_blocker> ommmm
[07:28] <slave_blocker> so
[07:29] <slave_blocker> i deleted all partitions delete unmount bla bla
[07:29] <slave_blocker> i created / with 230 gigs and there is one /boot/efi that was required
[07:29] <slave_blocker> am i missing something?
[07:29] <slave_blocker> waiting
[07:30] <slave_blocker> changed native hdd to ahci
[07:32] <arraybolt3> /boot/efi is normal.
[07:33] <arraybolt3> You should have at least /boot/efi, /, and maybe some others, but at least those two.
[07:33] <slave_blocker> great
[07:33] <slave_blocker> thanks for the reply
[07:34] <slave_blocker> so
[07:34] <slave_blocker> the install failed again
[07:35] <slave_blocker> i dropped to a terminal 
[07:35] <arraybolt3> What is the exact error message?
[07:35] <slave_blocker> where is the log so i can copy it
[07:35] <arraybolt3> Try "ls /var/log" and that might show you those things.
[07:35] <arraybolt3> /var/log/syslog might have interesting info.
[07:39] <slave_blocker> syslog has lots of stuff in it
[07:44] <slave_blocker> https://pastebin.com/7q0Qx2k3
[07:44] <slave_blocker> i saw windowse there somewhere 
[07:44] <slave_blocker> kill hates was spotted
[07:44] <slave_blocker> only saying
[07:45] <arraybolt3> Eh, that looks like the problem, but the meaning of the error is beyond me. Hopefully someone here will be able to decipher it.
[07:46] <slave_blocker> there is not one drop of windowse on that ssd 
[07:46] <slave_blocker> i ran dd if /dev/zero on the entire thing
[07:47] <slave_blocker> just another question
[07:47] <slave_blocker> do nvme's run directly on pci x4?
[07:47] <arraybolt3> Windows Boot Manager is something in the firmware, if I'm understanding correctly. It shouldn't affect your ability to run Ubuntu.
[07:48] <arraybolt3> I don't know for a certainty if NVMe's run directly on PCIe x4 or not, but I *think* so.
[07:48] <slave_blocker> well i installed xubuntu desktop on it
[07:48] <slave_blocker> all good
[07:48] <slave_blocker> i have no idea what im doing in the partition manager
[07:48] <slave_blocker> boot efis and stuff
[07:49] <slave_blocker> im a noob in partitions
[07:49] <arraybolt3> /boot/efi is where your bootloader will install to, / is where the rest of the system goes.
[07:49] <slave_blocker> when it gets to that he is making 100 gb
[07:49] <slave_blocker> on one partition
[07:49] <slave_blocker> dont know why
[07:49] <arraybolt3> What are the settings you're installing Ubuntu Server with?
[07:50] <slave_blocker> i deleted that then
[07:50] <arraybolt3> And what version of Ubuntu Server is this?
[07:50] <slave_blocker> ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso
[07:51] <slave_blocker> minimal install
[07:51] <slave_blocker> only ssh server selected
[07:52] <slave_blocker> and i let the lvm thing selected
[07:52] <slave_blocker> now its halting at grub install
[07:52] <slave_blocker> as a side note my bios seems sort of funky
[07:53] <slave_blocker> sometimes it does not recognize the hard drives
[07:53] <arraybolt3> Hmm, that might be the problem, perhaps your firmware is being problematic.
[07:53] <arraybolt3> Try installing without LVM and see how that works, maybe? Xubuntu doesn't use LVM as far as I know.
[07:53] <slave_blocker> ok
[07:54] <slave_blocker> the only problem for me is that the fucking fan of the graphics card is too loud for a sunday
[07:54] <slave_blocker> but hey 
[07:54] <slave_blocker> lets ommmm
[07:54] <slave_blocker> it away
[08:00] <slave_blocker> im going out to the recycling point its installing again
[08:00] <slave_blocker> brb
[08:27] <slave_blocker> it failed agian
[08:27] <slave_blocker> i have the install log from the crash
[08:28] <ravage> slave_blocker, please watch your language. thanks
[08:29] <slave_blocker> oh ok
[08:29] <slave_blocker> sorry
[08:30] <slave_blocker> is there a pastebin that accepts huge amounts of data
[08:30] <slave_blocker> ?
[08:39] <slave_blocker> here is the error of my install
[08:39] <slave_blocker> https://pastebin.com/jPedYx96
[08:39] <slave_blocker> please help
[08:39] <slave_blocker> thanks
[09:29] <arraybolt3> slave_blocker: That doesn't look right, that looks like some early initialization data. Maybe you only pasted part of the file?
[09:30] <slave_blocker> is there a pastebin that accepts huge amounts of data ?
[09:30] <arraybolt3> slave_blocker: Not that I'm aware of, can you pastebin a solid chunk from the end of the file?
