[19:47] <Eickmeyer> arraybolt3: In my testing in a VM, installer crashed on my first try. Can you confirm?
[19:51] <arraybolt3> Will try once it finished downloaded (which could take a while).
[19:51] <arraybolt3> Currently 54% done.
[19:58] <Eickmeyer> Looking at the logs, it looked like a permission denied issue.
[20:00] <Eickmeyer> BTW, expect no Ubiquity slideshow. I need to revive the old one yet, but that only needs to be done prior to UIF.
[20:00] <arraybolt3> Got it.
[20:01] <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.)
[20:02] <Eickmeyer> Ventoy?
[20:02] <arraybolt3> Nope, GRUB2 direct ISO booting.
[20:02] <Eickmeyer> Oh, cool.
[20:02] <arraybolt3> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[20:03] <arraybolt3> So far it successfully booted Lubuntu 22.04.2 and Kubuntu 22.04.1 w/ KFocus Suite.
[20:04] <arraybolt3> Only real problem is that the Plymouth screen doesn't show up during ISO bootup, but oh well.
[20:04] <arraybolt3> 86% downloaded.
[20:04] <arraybolt3> (Well, only real problems are that and the boot speed.)
[20:05] <Eickmeyer> Ok, so using a VM, Ubiquity is reproducibly broken.
[20:09] <Eickmeyer> bug 2008731 filed
[20:09] -ubottu:#edubuntu- Bug 2008731 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity crashed on first test installation of Edubuntu" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2008731
[20:10] <arraybolt3> Download finished \o/
[20:10] -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)
[20:12] <arraybolt3> Flashing for verification on bare metal, and also doing a VM test.
[20:14]  * arraybolt3 plays with the Live Environment since I expect installs to fail
[20:14] <arraybolt3> Install in the background, live-test in the foreground.
[20:16] <arraybolt3> huh? The keyboard doesn't work while the installation is active...
[20:16] <arraybolt3> No keypresses do anything.
[20:16] <arraybolt3> Except in the application menu search bar, which works just fine, strangely.
[20:18] <arraybolt3> Is Ubiquity somehow able to "grab" the keyboard?
[20:18] <arraybolt3> Also, yes, the installer crashes.
[20:20] <arraybolt3> OK 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.
[20:21] <Eickmeyer> arraybolt3: I didn't have that problem.
[20:21] <arraybolt3> I'm in GNOME Boxes.
[20:21] <arraybolt3> Using the live environment.
[20:22] <Eickmeyer> I used Virtualbox. Didn't have a problem in the terminal.
[20:22] <Eickmeyer> BTW, edubuntu is based on ubuntu-desktop-minimal.
[20:23] <Eickmeyer> So, literally no difference in the environment.
[20:23] <arraybolt3> :shrug: well I'll try and reproduce on Ubuntu Desktop too.
[20:24] <arraybolt3> I don't decide the bugs, I just find them :D
[20:26] <arraybolt3> btw this is a really beautiful OS so far, loving it!
[20:27] <Eickmeyer> Thanks!
[21:33] <arraybolt3> OK 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] <arraybolt3> Also physical hardware didn't seem to reproduce it.
[21:33] <arraybolt3> Hopefully it's just a random GNOME Boxes glitch.
[21:34] <arraybolt3> I 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?
