[04:13] <JackFrost> arraybolt3: ...Bored?
[04:14] <arraybolt3> More busy than bored, whatcha up to?
[04:14] <JackFrost> Meh, nah then.  I was gonna give you a link for ISOs.
[04:15] <arraybolt3> Which ones? I like new ISOs. :)
[04:18] <arraybolt3> i EVEN HAVE A FAST ISO TESTER.
[04:18] <arraybolt3> (semi-oops caps lock)
[04:23] <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.
[04:24] <JackFrost> Got something that can test UEFI+sec?
[04:24] <arraybolt3> Yep.
[04:24] <JackFrost> There ya go.
[04:25] <arraybolt3> Thanks, testing!
[04:28] <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)
[04:29] <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?
[04:30] <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)
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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.
[04:33] <JackFrost> Not at home, and this is an old beast anyway.  1950.
[04:34] <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...
[04:35] <JackFrost> Computer years maybe.
[04:36] <JackFrost> Still though, older CPUs but 8 cores and 16G of ram is nice for a server.
[04:38] <JackFrost> It won't be a buildserver, anyway.
[04:50] <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)
[04:51] <arraybolt3> Alright, looks like it works!
[04:52] <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 :)
[04:53] <arraybolt3> Like you can do "vm-isotest -live -nodisk -secboot -m 8G -cpus 4 l kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso.
[04:54] <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!
[04:57] <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.
[05:13] <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.
[05:14] <arraybolt3> Installation seems to be working.
[05:23] <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/
[05:25] <arraybolt3> Firefox is working to stream media. For a second I thought audio was borked but then I figured out it was muted :P
[05:27] <arraybolt3> I say it's a success. Also, very nice work on this, it's very comfortable and easy to use.
[06:45] <JackFrost> It's basically Xubuntu.
[06:46] <arraybolt3> Well you and everyone else here did a really good job on Xubuntu too. :)
