[02:40] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[02:47] <arraybolt3> Holy smoke the chaos in #ubuntu again.
[02:49] <lotuspsychje> weekend trolls
[02:49] <lotuspsychje> always the same nicks inventing new issues
[05:11] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: I think they probably have some configuration option in the server blocking LAN devices.
[05:11] <arraybolt3> Because if the setup is as simple as they say, having their server be WAN-accessible but not LAN-accessible makes zero sense.
[05:12] <leftyfb> they've been known to come in with ..... uncommon problems
[05:12] <leftyfb> I'm done for the night anyway. Good luck with them
[05:12] <arraybolt3> Thanks, I'll try :P
[23:08] <Jeremy31> oerheks, leftyfb I saw the writable labelled partition on my flash drive after a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 and now it is updated after installing 22.10, the date now is from a week ago
[23:09] <leftyfb> uh
[23:09] <Jeremy31> Looks like a small version of /var/logs
[23:09] <leftyfb> you have a flash drive that you installed both ubuntu 20.04 and 22.10?
[23:09] <leftyfb> from*
[23:09] <Jeremy31> A flash drive that I wrote the ISO to, to install to my HDD
[23:10] <oerheks> Jeremy31, that is new to me, what tool did you use?
[23:10] <oerheks> see no mention in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/kinetic-kudu-release-notes/27976
[23:10] <leftyfb> Jeremy31: if you wrote the iso to (dd?) then how did it keep the writeable partition on it through both installs?
[23:10] <Jeremy31> I used the Mint ISO USB writer
[23:10] <Jeremy31> I could look through the code for that
[23:12] <oerheks> rufus and mkusb can do that, maybe it enables it standard when the usb is 8gb or more?
[23:12] <leftyfb> ok, so this is not an ubuntu usb installer, it's a mint usb installer that happens to utilize ubuntu iso's on the flash drive. So this whole thing has nothing to do with ubuntu other than maybe ubuntu recognizing the removable media has a writeable partition or the mint installer is doing some sketchy stuff and monitoring the ubuntu install

[23:14] <Jeremy31> It is just the Mint ISO USB writer used, not Mint installer
[23:16] <oerheks> ok
[23:17] <Jeremy31> It looks like it happens with Ubuntu ISO writer, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1442045/how-to-access-writable-partition-on-ubuntu-booted-from-usb-flash-drive
[23:19] <oerheks> I think that statement is false.
[23:24] <oerheks> Kubuntu iso is 4.257.404.928 bytes, 4gb 4,294,967,296 bytes. so there is technically 37562368 left.
[23:31] <Jeremy31> I booted into ubuntu 22.10 and am writing iso to flash, it could be ubiquity making the writable partition during install
[23:48] <Jeremy31> No writable partition after using the Ubuntu System Image tool
