| [00:47] <znf> the Ubuntu Server 22.04 installer is just... terrible | |
| [00:47] <znf> The partitioning is... terrible | |
| [00:48] <znf> I have 6 disks, I want to slap 1 x 500MB for EFI and 1 x 100GB for a md0 | |
| [00:48] <znf> the installer won't let me add multiple EFIs | |
| [00:52] <blahdeblah> Yeah - the old Debian installer was a lot easier for partitioning. But I managed to get there eventually on the install I just did. (Didn't need EFI parts, though, because it was an older server.) | |
| [00:52] <sarnold> heh, are you using my old laptop too? :) | |
| [00:53] <sarnold> (I think that machine *can* do EFI, but I picked CSM back then Just Because) | |
| [00:57] <znf> I partitioned manually | |
| [00:57] <znf> I can't make it use the ESP partition | |
| [00:57] <znf> dear god | |
| [00:57] <blahdeblah> sarnold: No, I'm using your old HP Microserver Gen8, which was a sweet little box, and I wish they still made good servers like them. :-) | |
| [00:58] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/blH5Wpt.png | |
| [00:58] <sarnold> blahdeblah: ahh! yeah I keep hearing good things about those | |
| [00:58] <sarnold> znf: once it's installed, probably dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc or whatever it is will let you select all the EFIs you want to use | |
| [00:59] <blahdeblah> They took away a lot of cool things in the Gen10 to make them more enterprise so they could charge more money, which turned me off. I just use SFF desktops for my home servers now. | |
| [00:59] <znf> except: https://i.imgur.com/6JPYkOh.png | |
| [00:59] <znf> :) | |
| [00:59] <sarnold> argh :( | |
| [00:59] <sarnold> znf: lol | |
| [00:59] <sarnold> znf: oh man | |
| [01:00] <sarnold> znf: I think in the upper right corner there's a menu entry to file a bug report? it's been years since I've seen it.. | |
| [01:00] <sarnold> znf: if it feels like you ought to be able to proceed but can't, that's probably worth a report | |
| [01:00] <znf> I'm assuming it doesn't allow me to proceeed because I don't have a mounted EFI partition | |
| [01:01] <znf> but I can't tell how to use it | |
| [01:02] <znf> like nobody ever fucking tested this | |
| [01:02] <znf> do they just test this crap installer on "cloud" servers with 2 disks and call it a day | |
| [01:02] <znf> or wtf | |
| [01:03] <znf> can't even delete the partition https://i.imgur.com/piyCocZ.png | |
| [01:03] <znf> this is hilarious | |
| [01:04] <znf> OOOH! | |
| [01:04] <znf> I have to edit every disk | |
| [01:04] <znf> and tell it to "use as boot device" and then "add as another boot device" | |
| [01:05] <znf> And I end up with this: https://i.imgur.com/PdlfuLH.png | |
| [01:06] <znf> now let's see if it actually uses it as a "backup esp" and mirrors the contents | |
| [01:10] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/vxqA0OR.png | |
| [01:10] <znf> and it's taking 5+ minutes to... format 100GB? wtf | |
| [01:12] <sarnold> hmm, at 100 MB/s to usual hard drives, I think I'd expect around 17 minutes | |
| [01:12] <znf> they're 12G SAS drives, SSD | |
| [01:12] <znf> actually SAS, not SATA | |
| [01:13] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/QcKjBrv.png | |
| [01:13] <znf> is this thing actually waiting for the resync | |
| [01:13] <znf> wtf | |
| [01:14] <znf> no idae why it's 100MB/sec | |
| [01:49] <znf> oh, it failed the install | |
| [01:50] <znf> https://i.imgur.com/WizjI2n.png | |
| [01:50] <sarnold> \o/ | |
| [01:50] <blahdeblah> ;-( | |
| [01:51] <sarnold> it's a bit vague about what actually failed :( | |
| [01:51] <znf> yup | |
| [01:52] <znf> and it won't reboot lol | |

| [11:47] <derjanni> I am currently running an Intel Atom-box (x86_64) in my basement and constantly look for possible arm64 replacements. Has anyone seen any small arm64 U1 boxes that work with Ubuntu Server for arm64? | |
| [11:48] <derjanni> sry, meant to say 1U rack mount | |
| [11:53] <blahdeblah> I ran across some of those when I was doing a few web searches for gear, but I can't remember who made them. Maybe Supermicro? | |
| [11:54] <derjanni> The one I currently have is a supermicro, but couldn't find any arm64 boxes from them. | |
| [11:58] <derjanni> I'll probably stick to the box I currently have. | |
| [12:44] <dannf> derjanni: you might try gigabyte as well if you're looking for whitebox. you can check the certification site to see if the soc has been certified | |
| [12:44] <derjanni> dannf: awesome thanks | |
| [13:54] <patdk-lap> gigabyte just makings huge arm servers | |
| [13:54] <patdk-lap> the only small arm servers (under 200cores) I know of is by solid-run | |

| [15:37] <smoser> i pushed your suggested changes... now just curious on next steps. | |
| [15:37] <smoser> a.) merge into master (~motu/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot:master) . | |
| [15:37] <smoser> I just do that, right? I push to there ? | |
| [15:39] <smoser> b.) then i upload ? I guess I should make a 'release' commit message before pushing, and then I just upload to lunar ? | |
| [15:48] <paride> smoser, yes I'd say so. What I'd do is: (1) merge to master (2) make "release version 0.20" pointing lunar in d/changelog (3) upload, wait for "Accepted" email (4) `git tag --signed 0.20` and push | |
| [15:49] <paride> make "release version 0.20" *commit* pointing lunar .. | |
| [15:49] <smoser> ok. doing '1' and 2 now | |
| [15:50] <paride> I prefer to wait for the Accepted mail before pushing the release commit just in case the upload gets rejected for any reason | |
| [15:57] <paride> smoser, as we're speaking of that package, fyi I just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbuild-launchpad-chroot/+bug/1996205 | |

| [16:00] <smoser> did '3'. | |
| [16:06] <smoser> paride: do you know how i make lintian aware of https://www.mit.edu/afs.new/sipb/project/debathena/lintian/www/tags/bad-distribution-in-changes-file.html | |
| [16:06] <smoser> i'd have hoped it would reasd distro-info-data, but that has been updated. | |
