| Krusher | hello! I'm having trouble installing linux on a Firebat T8 N100 mini PC, something very weird is going on | 17:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Krusher | if I boot windows or windows installer I can see, create or delete partitions without any problem | 17:46 |
| Krusher | but with ubuntu server or ubuntu live I can't read the disk, it fails one way or another, usually with "input output error" | 17:47 |
| Krusher | can't diskpart or fdisk it | 17:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: please also mention your ubuntu release you are trying on your device, so the volunteers can think along with you | 17:47 |
| Krusher | sure, i'm trying to install latest ubuntu server, but I have the same problem with latest lubuntu too | 17:48 |
| Krusher | I'm going to test it now with LTS ubuntu server just in case | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | latest as in 24.04 server? | 17:48 |
| Krusher | 24.10 | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | oh | 17:48 |
| Krusher | now I think, it might not be ubuntu specific, should I ask on #ubuntu instead? | 17:49 |
| lotuspsychje | no its ok, you're in the right place Krusher | 17:49 |
| Krusher | s/ubuntu specific/ubuntu server specific | 17:50 |
| lotuspsychje | 24.10 is a non lts, not ideal for production purpose if you not already know | 17:52 |
| Krusher | i'm aware of it, it's not a mission critical server | 17:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: ok great | 17:53 |
| Krusher | I read in some forums it might be because it's locked in the BIOS... but it works on windows | 17:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: the 24.04 and higher have a new installer, you might want to look here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-provision/+bugs?orderby=importance&start=0 | 17:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: the developers will usualy ask for /var/log/installer logs to debug | 17:55 |
| Krusher | if I ever get to at least save the log :( | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: you got fastboot/secureboot enabled in bios? | 17:56 |
| Krusher | i wish I could answer that, but the bios in this computer won't let me modify the secure boot option | 17:57 |
| Krusher | it says [Enabled] Not active | 17:57 |
| Krusher | not very clear... | 17:57 |
| lotuspsychje | never used a firebat before | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | but bios options might matter indeed | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | check your device manual Krusher but if windows can be installed, ubuntu should too | 18:04 |
| Krusher | yeah, it's so odd | 18:05 |
| lotuspsychje | is it a classical sata ssd, or nvme? | 18:05 |
| Krusher | nvme | 18:07 |
| Krusher | interesting, it works with 24.04 LTS | 18:07 |
| Krusher | but it didn't with 24.10 | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | oh | 18:07 |
| Krusher | (i was burning the ISO to a USB drive) | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | you might wanna file a bug for that then | 18:08 |
| Krusher | welp, LTS version it is | 18:08 |
| Krusher | I'll try to get the log copied to the USB drive | 18:08 |
| Krusher | thanks a lot for trying to help anyway | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | no worrys Krusher glad you found the culprit | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Krusher: in case you wanna file the bug, ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop-provision | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | or via launchpad itself | 18:10 |
| Krusher | aaand now it's stalled on "subiquity/Late/run:" | 18:18 |
| Krusher | what a day | 18:18 |
