znfthe Ubuntu Server 22.04 installer is just... terrible 00:47
znfThe partitioning is... terrible00:47
znfI have 6 disks, I want to slap 1 x 500MB for EFI and 1 x 100GB for a md000:48
znfthe installer won't let me add multiple EFIs00:48
blahdeblahYeah - the old Debian installer was a lot easier for partitioning.  But I managed to get there eventually on the install I just did.  (Didn't need EFI parts, though, because it was an older server.)00:52
sarnoldheh, are you using my old laptop too? :)00:52
sarnold(I think that machine *can* do EFI, but I picked CSM back then Just Because)00:53
znfI partitioned manually00:57
znfI can't make it use the ESP partition00:57
znfdear god00:57
blahdeblahsarnold: No, I'm using your old HP Microserver Gen8, which was a sweet little box, and I wish they still made good servers like them. :-)00:57

sarnoldblahdeblah: ahh! yeah I keep hearing good things about those00:58
sarnoldznf: once it's installed, probably dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc  or whatever it is will let you select all the EFIs you want to use00:58
blahdeblahThey took away a lot of cool things in the Gen10 to make them more enterprise so they could charge more money, which turned me off.  I just use SFF desktops for my home servers now.00:59

znf:)00:59
sarnoldargh :(00:59
sarnoldznf: lol00:59
sarnoldznf: oh man00:59
sarnoldznf: I think in the upper right corner there's a menu entry to file a bug report? it's been years since I've seen it..01:00
sarnoldznf: if it feels like you ought to be able to proceed but can't, that's probably worth a report01:00
znfI'm assuming it doesn't allow me to proceeed because I don't have a mounted EFI partition01:00
znfbut I can't tell how to use it01:01
znflike nobody ever fucking tested this01:02
znfdo they just test this crap installer on "cloud" servers with 2 disks and call it a day 01:02
znfor wtf01:02
znfcan't even delete the partition https://i.imgur.com/piyCocZ.png01:03
znfthis is hilarious01:03
znfOOOH!01:04
znfI have to edit every disk01:04
znfand tell it to "use as boot device" and then "add as another boot device"01:04
znfAnd I end up with this: https://i.imgur.com/PdlfuLH.png01:05
znfnow let's see if it actually uses it as a "backup esp" and mirrors the contents01:06
znfhttps://i.imgur.com/vxqA0OR.png01:10
znfand it's taking 5+ minutes to... format 100GB? wtf01:10
sarnoldhmm, at 100 MB/s to usual hard drives, I think I'd expect around 17 minutes01:12
znfthey're 12G SAS drives, SSD01:12
znfactually SAS, not SATA01:12
znfhttps://i.imgur.com/QcKjBrv.png01:13
znfis this thing actually waiting for the resync01:13
znfwtf01:13
znfno idae why it's 100MB/sec 01:14
znfoh, it failed the install01:49

sarnold\o/01:50
blahdeblah;-(01:50
sarnoldit's a bit vague about what actually failed :(01:51
znfyup01:51
znfand it won't reboot lol01:52

derjanniI am currently running an Intel Atom-box (x86_64) in my basement and constantly look for possible arm64 replacements. Has anyone seen any small arm64 U1 boxes that work with Ubuntu Server for arm64?11:47
derjannisry, meant to say 1U rack mount11:48
blahdeblahI ran across some of those when I was doing a few web searches for gear, but I can't remember who made them. Maybe Supermicro?11:53
derjanniThe one I currently have is a supermicro, but couldn't find any arm64 boxes from them.11:54
derjanniI'll probably stick to the box I currently have.11:58
dannfderjanni: you might try gigabyte as well if you're looking for whitebox. you can check the certification site to see if the soc has been certified12:44
derjannidannf: awesome thanks12:44
patdk-lapgigabyte just makings huge arm servers13:54
patdk-lapthe only small arm servers (under 200cores) I know of is by solid-run13:54

smoseri pushed your suggested changes... now just curious on next steps.15:37
smosera.) merge into master (~motu/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot:master) .15:37
smoserI just do that, right? I push to there ?15:37
smoserb.) then i upload ?  I guess I should make a 'release' commit message before pushing, and then I just upload to lunar ?15:39
paridesmoser, yes I'd say so. What I'd do is: (1) merge to master (2) make "release version 0.20" pointing lunar in d/changelog (3) upload, wait for "Accepted" email (4) `git tag --signed 0.20` and push15:48
paridemake "release version 0.20" *commit* pointing lunar ..15:49
smoserok. doing '1' and 2 now15:49
parideI prefer to wait for the Accepted mail before pushing the release commit just in case the upload gets rejected for any reason15:50
paridesmoser, as we're speaking of that package, fyi I just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot/+bug/199620515:57

smoserparide: do you know how i make lintian aware of https://www.mit.edu/afs.new/sipb/project/debathena/lintian/www/tags/bad-distribution-in-changes-file.html16:06
