Eickmeyerarraybolt3: In my testing in a VM, installer crashed on my first try. Can you confirm?19:47
arraybolt3Will try once it finished downloaded (which could take a while).19:51
arraybolt3Currently 54% done.19:51
EickmeyerLooking at the logs, it looked like a permission denied issue.19:58
EickmeyerBTW, expect no Ubiquity slideshow. I need to revive the old one yet, but that only needs to be done prior to UIF.20:00
arraybolt3Got it.20:00
arraybolt3(btw I managed to make a sort of alternative to that IODD device you mentioned to me the other day, by making a multibooting USB stick with a bunch of Ubuntu ISOs on it. Works great except for the fact that my drive is sloooooow.)20:01
EickmeyerVentoy?20:02
arraybolt3Nope, GRUB2 direct ISO booting.20:02
EickmeyerOh, cool.20:02
arraybolt3https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot20:02
arraybolt3So far it successfully booted Lubuntu 22.04.2 and Kubuntu 22.04.1 w/ KFocus Suite.20:03
arraybolt3Only real problem is that the Plymouth screen doesn't show up during ISO bootup, but oh well.20:04
arraybolt386% downloaded.20:04
arraybolt3(Well, only real problems are that and the boot speed.)20:04
EickmeyerOk, so using a VM, Ubiquity is reproducibly broken.20:05
Eickmeyerbug 2008731 filed20:09

-queuebot:#edubuntu- Unapproved: cloud-init (bionic-proposed/main) [22.4.2-0ubuntu0~18.04.1 => 23.1-0ubuntu0~18.04.2] (edubuntu, ubuntu-cloud, ubuntu-server)20:10
arraybolt3Flashing for verification on bare metal, and also doing a VM test.20:12
* arraybolt3 plays with the Live Environment since I expect installs to fail20:14
arraybolt3Install in the background, live-test in the foreground.20:14
arraybolt3huh? The keyboard doesn't work while the installation is active...20:16
arraybolt3No keypresses do anything.20:16
arraybolt3Except in the application menu search bar, which works just fine, strangely.20:16
arraybolt3Is Ubiquity somehow able to "grab" the keyboard?20:18
arraybolt3Also, yes, the installer crashes.20:18
arraybolt3OK so this is really weird. The keyboard works in Firefox, Ubiquity, and the app menu, but does absolutely nothing in the terminal and text editor.20:20
Eickmeyerarraybolt3: I didn't have that problem.20:21
arraybolt3I'm in GNOME Boxes.20:21
arraybolt3Using the live environment.20:21
EickmeyerI used Virtualbox. Didn't have a problem in the terminal.20:22
EickmeyerBTW, edubuntu is based on ubuntu-desktop-minimal.20:22
EickmeyerSo, literally no difference in the environment.20:23
arraybolt3:shrug: well I'll try and reproduce on Ubuntu Desktop too.20:23
arraybolt3I don't decide the bugs, I just find them :D20:24
arraybolt3btw this is a really beautiful OS so far, loving it!20:26
EickmeyerThanks!20:27
arraybolt3OK so I can't reproduce the keyboard weirdness on Ubuntu Desktop so far, but it's not using Ubiquity so that might not be the best test method.21:33
arraybolt3Also physical hardware didn't seem to reproduce it.21:33
arraybolt3Hopefully it's just a random GNOME Boxes glitch.21:33
arraybolt3I was able to reliably reproduce a failure to detect my Broadcom card on baremetal though, is that worth reporting or should I wait for the installer to be otherwise unbroken first?21:34
