**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 09 02:59:58 2014 Jan 09 11:21:33 what's the recommended way to install ubuntu remotely on a machine (using a custom kernel)? Jan 09 11:22:09 just debootstrap onto the rootfs then stick the kernel and modules in place and re-run initramfs bits? Jan 09 11:23:13 (the machine is already booted so I can run debootstrap on it, with the root-to-be mounted) Jan 09 11:32:30 wookey: I basically do that, but without an initramfs. Jan 09 11:52:15 isn;t killing the initramfs tricky with plymouth etc? Jan 09 11:58:52 In my case I had a separate issue with plymouth so had to disable it anyway Jan 09 11:59:39 The only issue I had with turning off plymouth was that lightdm didn't start, since it was waiting on plymouth-done or something. Apart from that disabling plymouth didn't cause any issues for me. But this was a while ago. Jan 09 11:59:54 But since I had to disable plymouth anyway, I don't know if it would have caused issues. Jan 09 12:01:26 rbasak, until you have your first fsck errors :) Jan 09 12:01:54 it works fine without plymouth until mountall wants to talk to the user in any way ... then it breaks badly Jan 09 15:03:26 can anybody tell me where I can find the latest BCM40181 drivers? Jan 09 15:06:35 at broadcom perhaps Jan 09 15:06:38 (how is that related to ubuntu) Jan 09 15:08:54 not that I can find.... Jan 09 15:09:01 it is called casting a wide net Jan 09 16:29:35 ogra_: somebody here was asking for some kind of mirrors for system-image.ubuntu.com (it was slow for him) the other day, is that planned? Now it is just one http server server for everyone (or is it?), whereas normal desktop ubuntu images are hosted on several mirrors, torrents and they support zsync. Jan 09 16:31:35 currently it is only one server Jan 09 16:31:35 stgraber might know if there are any mirror plans Jan 09 16:31:35 (i assume once we actually have a million devices out there we seriously want mirrors :) ) Jan 09 16:31:35 (currently the user base is rather in the 4-5 digit area i guess though) Jan 09 16:32:28 * Tassadar realizes he selected the wrong channel Jan 09 16:32:36 :) Jan 09 16:32:45 well, still kind of related Jan 09 16:41:09 the current update system doesn't seem to be prepared for that at all, although I suppose it can be done on server level(?) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jan 10 02:59:59 2014
