[00:47] <znf> the Ubuntu Server 22.04 installer is just... terrible 
[00:47] <znf> The partitioning is... terrible
[00:48] <znf> I have 6 disks, I want to slap 1 x 500MB for EFI and 1 x 100GB for a md0
[00:48] <znf> the installer won't let me add multiple EFIs
[00:52] <blahdeblah> Yeah - 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] <sarnold> heh, are you using my old laptop too? :)
[00:53] <sarnold> (I think that machine *can* do EFI, but I picked CSM back then Just Because)
[00:57] <znf> I partitioned manually
[00:57] <znf> I can't make it use the ESP partition
[00:57] <znf> dear god
[00:57] <blahdeblah> sarnold: 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. :-)

[00:58] <sarnold> blahdeblah: ahh! yeah I keep hearing good things about those
[00:58] <sarnold> znf: once it's installed, probably dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc  or whatever it is will let you select all the EFIs you want to use
[00:59] <blahdeblah> They 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> except: https://i.imgur.com/6JPYkOh.png
[00:59] <znf> :)
[00:59] <sarnold> argh :(
[00:59] <sarnold> znf: lol
[00:59] <sarnold> znf: oh man
[01:00] <sarnold> znf: 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] <sarnold> znf: if it feels like you ought to be able to proceed but can't, that's probably worth a report
[01:00] <znf> I'm assuming it doesn't allow me to proceeed because I don't have a mounted EFI partition
[01:01] <znf> but I can't tell how to use it
[01:02] <znf> like nobody ever fucking tested this
[01:02] <znf> do they just test this crap installer on "cloud" servers with 2 disks and call it a day 
[01:02] <znf> or wtf
[01:03] <znf> can't even delete the partition https://i.imgur.com/piyCocZ.png
[01:03] <znf> this is hilarious
[01:04] <znf> OOOH!
[01:04] <znf> I have to edit every disk
[01:04] <znf> and tell it to "use as boot device" and then "add as another boot device"
[01:05] <znf> And I end up with this: https://i.imgur.com/PdlfuLH.png
[01:06] <znf> now let's see if it actually uses it as a "backup esp" and mirrors the contents
[01:10] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/vxqA0OR.png
[01:10] <znf> and it's taking 5+ minutes to... format 100GB? wtf
[01:12] <sarnold> hmm, at 100 MB/s to usual hard drives, I think I'd expect around 17 minutes
[01:12] <znf> they're 12G SAS drives, SSD
[01:12] <znf> actually SAS, not SATA
[01:13] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/QcKjBrv.png
[01:13] <znf> is this thing actually waiting for the resync
[01:13] <znf> wtf
[01:14] <znf> no idae why it's 100MB/sec 
[01:49] <znf> oh, it failed the install
[01:50] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/WizjI2n.png
[01:50] <sarnold> \o/
[01:50] <blahdeblah> ;-(
[01:51] <sarnold> it's a bit vague about what actually failed :(
[01:51] <znf> yup
[01:52] <znf> and it won't reboot lol

[11:47] <derjanni> I 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?
[11:48] <derjanni> sry, meant to say 1U rack mount
[11:53] <blahdeblah> I 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?
[11:54] <derjanni> The one I currently have is a supermicro, but couldn't find any arm64 boxes from them.
[11:58] <derjanni> I'll probably stick to the box I currently have.
[12:44] <dannf> derjanni: 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 certified
[12:44] <derjanni> dannf: awesome thanks
[13:54] <patdk-lap> gigabyte just makings huge arm servers
[13:54] <patdk-lap> the only small arm servers (under 200cores) I know of is by solid-run

[15:37] <smoser> i pushed your suggested changes... now just curious on next steps.
[15:37] <smoser> a.) merge into master (~motu/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot:master) .
[15:37] <smoser> I just do that, right? I push to there ?
[15:39] <smoser> b.) then i upload ?  I guess I should make a 'release' commit message before pushing, and then I just upload to lunar ?
[15:48] <paride> smoser, 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 push
[15:49] <paride> make "release version 0.20" *commit* pointing lunar ..
[15:49] <smoser> ok. doing '1' and 2 now
[15:50] <paride> I prefer to wait for the Accepted mail before pushing the release commit just in case the upload gets rejected for any reason
[15:57] <paride> smoser, as we're speaking of that package, fyi I just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot/+bug/1996205
[15:57] -ubottu:#ubuntu-server- Launchpad bug 1996205 in sbuild-launchpad-chroot (Ubuntu) "-proposed schroot not really using -proposed in >= Lunar" [Undecided, New]
[16:00] <smoser> did '3'. 
[16:06] <smoser> paride: 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.html
[16:06] <smoser> i'd have hoped it would reasd distro-info-data, but that has been updated.
