[03:20] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> smoltalk: wich subiquity did you try
[08:57] <smoltalk> lotuspsychje I'm using the version installed with the 24.04 desktop release I flashed a couple of days ago
[08:58] <smoltalk> I'm following the Curtin documentation to delete all of the path keys (since they're apparently ignored anyway) and instead rely on the device serials, which I've already pulled from `/dev/disk/by-id`
[08:58] <smoltalk> I read that there's a way to tweak udev to assign devices in a fixed order, but that seems like overkill for what I'm doing
[09:02] <smoltalk> If I get some time, it would be fun to submit some Subiquity PRs to add better support for multiple disks (either a UI update in the default mode, or adding support for LVM/LUKS in the manual partitioning UI). Also the source looks like it's not great with validating the storage config via Curtin. It would be cool to find a way to improve that.
[09:03] <smoltalk> a UI update to install across multiple disks in the default mode*
[09:04] <smoltalk> But I guess that's not really possible if creating a LUKS-encrypted partition and then putting LVM on top of it, rather than the other way around.
[09:05] <smoltalk> lotuspsychje any idea why later Ubuntu versions switched up to LVM over LUKS? IIRC, it used to be the other way around?
[09:50] <lordievader> IIRC ubuntu put the pv on a luks encrypted volume for years. Has that changed?
[09:58] <smoltalk> lordievader not sure... I thought I remembered the 18.04 installer setting it up for me as LUKS over LVM when I enabled encryption on /home (no secure boot / FDE), but I could be mistaken
[12:05] <smoltalk> So after running both the 24.04 and 22.04 graphical installers, I'm confident in saying that I was wrong about my issue being specific to 24.04. It's not straightforward on either version to set up encrypted partitions and secure boot on a multi-disk system.
[12:05] <smoltalk> One thing I've learned from this is that it might be worthwhile to submit a Subiquity PR to add a third installation option aside from "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" or "Do something else": "Customize defaults" or something equivalent. It would have an "Advanced options" button like the first option, but take you to the manual partition UI after
[12:05] <smoltalk> to customize the partition table that would have been created by default.
[12:05] <smoltalk> Any thoughts/feedback/suggestion here before I move this to an issue and verify so I can move towards a PR?
[12:38] <jp__> is openstack user friendly?
[12:38] <jp__> i am noob, me want to make big server. me only know a little python. me succeed?
[12:59] <ravage> Openstack is not user friendly at all
[13:00] <ravage> Also one big server does not make a stack
