| JackFrost | arraybolt3: ...Bored? | 04:13 |
|---|---|---|
| arraybolt3 | More busy than bored, whatcha up to? | 04:14 |
| JackFrost | Meh, nah then. I was gonna give you a link for ISOs. | 04:14 |
| arraybolt3 | Which ones? I like new ISOs. :) | 04:15 |
| arraybolt3 | i EVEN HAVE A FAST ISO TESTER. | 04:18 |
| arraybolt3 | (semi-oops caps lock) | 04:18 |
| arraybolt3 | JackFrost: I literally thought you were a Xubuntu developer I hadn't seen before the whole time I've seen you here. It only just now dawned on me that you're probably Unit193 (which a /whois just confirmed). | 04:23 |
| JackFrost | Ahahahaa | 04:23 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright, that's just too funny. Where's the ISO? | 04:23 |
| arraybolt3 | I actually do have a bit of time to play with that sort of thing, and my vm-isotest script makes it fast. | 04:23 |
| JackFrost | Got something that can test UEFI+sec? | 04:24 |
| arraybolt3 | Yep. | 04:24 |
| JackFrost | There ya go. | 04:24 |
| arraybolt3 | Thanks, testing! | 04:25 |
| arraybolt3 | (Funny thing, my vm-isotest script actually *can't* do Secure Boot yet, but GNOME Boxes can... or I can add SecBoot functionality right now :D) | 04:28 |
| JackFrost | Funnily enough, I have a PowerEdge that needs bnx firmware for network, Debian's mini.iso of course was useless and had issues with the non-free installer too. But booting this and doing a debootstrap install worked like a charm. :P | 04:29 |
| arraybolt3 | Heh, advantages of being a Linux developer I guess? | 04:29 |
| arraybolt3 | (Oh that lovely feeling when you're lookking at code you wrote 6 months ago and have almost no idea how it works D-X) | 04:30 |
| JackFrost | Just feels weird booting a UI on server hardware... | 04:31 |
| JackFrost | My plan for the actual install will be to boot this on the old and new host, set up ssh, and rsync everything over to "install". :P | 04:31 |
| arraybolt3 | Out of curiosity, where are you running this PowerEdge at? I wanted to buy one to act as a build server some time ago, but then was scared off when I found out that running them in a residential area could be breaking FCC rules. | 04:32 |
| JackFrost | Not at home, and this is an old beast anyway. 1950. | 04:33 |
| arraybolt3 | o_O They had servers back then?! | 04:34 |
| arraybolt3 | Oh, wait, you mean it's a Dell Poweredge 1950, not a 1950' Dell Poweredge. My brain may not be working all the way correctly... | 04:34 |
| JackFrost | Computer years maybe. | 04:35 |
| JackFrost | Still though, older CPUs but 8 cores and 16G of ram is nice for a server. | 04:36 |
| JackFrost | It won't be a buildserver, anyway. | 04:38 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, here's hoping my new Secure Boot support works... | 04:50 |
| arraybolt3 | I mean it can boot Kubuntu anyway (waiting for the other one to download) | 04:50 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright, looks like it works! | 04:51 |
| JackFrost | I don't even have a nice way to test UEFI alone. | 04:52 |
| arraybolt3 | Well then you'll love this script. | 04:52 |
| arraybolt3 | You can do a UEFI test on a BIOS system even. | 04:52 |
| JackFrost | I don't have nor plan to use "Boxes" | 04:52 |
| arraybolt3 | I'll push my changes once I verify they work, then send you the link. It's just a script that runs QEMU. | 04:52 |
| arraybolt3 | But it's somewhat fancy :) | 04:52 |
| arraybolt3 | Like you can do "vm-isotest -live -nodisk -secboot -m 8G -cpus 4 l kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso. | 04:53 |
| arraybolt3 | (Argh, my connection to my IRC bouncer is lagging so I keep deleting characters I didn't mean to :P) | 04:54 |
| arraybolt3 | Like you can do "vm-isotest -live -nodisk -secboot -m 8G -cpus 4 -ll kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso". | 04:54 |
| arraybolt3 | Oh. My. Gosh. | 04:54 |
| arraybolt3 | Like you can do "vm-isotest -live -nodisk -secboot -m 8G -cpus 4 -l kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso". | 04:54 |
| arraybolt3 | ^ didn't typo it this time! | 04:54 |
| arraybolt3 | Anyway I'm happy to be the local UEFI and Secure Boot tester, it's kind of fun. | 04:57 |
| JackFrost | Thanks for checking it. | 04:57 |
| arraybolt3 | JackFrost: OK, finished downloading the ISO. When I booted it, I saw a ton of "Prohibited by security policy" messages scroll down, but it then let me proceed to boot the ISO properly. | 05:13 |
| arraybolt3 | Installation seems to be working. | 05:14 |
| arraybolt3 | Thanks to a boffo in my script, getting the installed system to boot was a challenge, but it boots and seems to work! I really am liking it. | 05:23 |
| JackFrost | \o/ | 05:23 |
| arraybolt3 | Firefox is working to stream media. For a second I thought audio was borked but then I figured out it was muted :P | 05:25 |
| arraybolt3 | I say it's a success. Also, very nice work on this, it's very comfortable and easy to use. | 05:27 |
| JackFrost | It's basically Xubuntu. | 06:45 |
| arraybolt3 | Well you and everyone else here did a really good job on Xubuntu too. :) | 06:46 |
