[17:46] <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
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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 
[17:50] <Krusher> s/ubuntu specific/ubuntu server specific
[17:52] <lotuspsychje> 24.10 is a non lts, not ideal for production purpose if you not already know
[17:53] <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
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <lotuspsychje> Krusher: the developers will usualy ask for /var/log/installer logs to debug
[17:56] <Krusher> if I ever get to at least save the log :(
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> Krusher: you got fastboot/secureboot enabled in bios?
[17:57] <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...
[17:58] <lotuspsychje> never used a firebat before
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> but bios options might matter indeed
[18:04] <lotuspsychje> check your device manual Krusher but if windows can be installed, ubuntu should too
[18:05] <Krusher> yeah, it's so odd
[18:05] <lotuspsychje> is it a classical sata ssd, or nvme?
[18:07] <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)
[18:08] <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 
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> or via launchpad itself
[18:18] <Krusher> aaand now it's stalled on "subiquity/Late/run:"
[18:18] <Krusher> what a day
