Jan 09 07:45:37 <Tofe> Morning!
Jan 09 08:15:55 <Herrie|Laptop> Morning!
Jan 09 08:16:35 <Herrie|Laptop> Playing a bit more with the new machine yesterday, no luck getting KUbuntu 16.04/18.04/18.10 installed. All lock up at the same point during install :'(
Jan 09 08:16:47 <Herrie|Laptop> I guess I need to try plain Ubuntu or another distro..
Jan 09 08:33:45 <elvispre|cloud> Herrie|Laptop: FYI, I'm running Ubuntu MATE 16.04
Jan 09 08:34:15 <Herrie|Laptop> elvispre|cloud: My KUbuntu all lock up when I press continue on the network screen :S
Jan 09 08:34:31 <Herrie|Laptop> Disabled the Intel LAN in the BIOS, same result. Adjusted fans etc, same result
Jan 09 08:37:30 <elvispre|cloud> That does sound annoying.
Jan 09 08:39:14 <elvispre|cloud> I'm running MATE because vanilla Ubuntu kept crashing out back to the login screen so I couldn't get a build done reliably.
Jan 09 08:56:03 <Herrie|Laptop> Not really sure how I can debug since I only have GUI in KUbuntu installer
Jan 09 08:56:15 <Herrie|Laptop> No console with logging etc
Jan 09 09:09:46 <Herrie|Laptop> Seems I might need to try something like: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/73468-Kubuntu-18-04-64-bit-gets-stuck-at-Try-Kubuntu?p=419335&viewfull=1#post419335
Jan 09 14:57:51 <bbito> Herrie|Laptop: have you tried Ubuntu Server (text installer) + kubuntu-desktop? Seems the only non-graphical installers nowadays are Ubuntu Server or the Network Installer
Jan 09 15:30:24 <Herrie|Laptop> bbito: I guess I could try that one
Jan 09 15:48:36 <bbito> Herrie|Laptop: Unfortunately I don't have experience with that route, I run a Xubuntu desktop and a Ubuntu Server on different boxes. I've never added desktop to server but there seem to be lots of guides for that.
Jan 09 15:53:05 <Herrie|Laptop> bbito: I hope to be able to trace the source of the installer problems
Jan 09 15:53:16 <Herrie|Laptop> Win10 installs without issues and is ready to go within minutes
Jan 09 15:53:35 <Herrie|Laptop> I suspect it's a BIOS/driver issue, but Kubuntu installer only has GUI and no obvious terminal with logging
Jan 09 15:53:51 <Herrie|Laptop> So I guess there's some super secret key combo to use to get that
Jan 09 15:54:01 <Herrie|Laptop> But it's not very helpful
Jan 09 15:59:51 <bbito> Herrie|Laptop: The Server Install might either avoid the hang you're getting or at least show what
Jan 09 16:00:04 <Herrie|Laptop> True might give that a try
Jan 09 16:00:07 <bbito> is causing the hang...
Jan 09 16:00:22 <Herrie|Laptop> Got 2 nice new 10TB Helium drives yesterday which I'm going to get setup first then I'll toy with Linux again
Jan 09 16:00:29 <bbito> good luck!
Jan 09 16:00:43 <Herrie|Laptop> I'll get there :)
Jan 09 16:01:06 <Herrie|Laptop> Not forgotten about the Doctor bits, that's still on a long to-do list but will help when I have a builder
Jan 09 23:24:51 <elvispre> My tissot stopped setting its clock from the phone network. Odd!
Jan 09 23:25:57 <elvispre> I reflashed it to stock Android to check if I got my proper Wi-Fi MAC address back as noted by JaMa the other day. I did.
Jan 09 23:26:54 <elvispre> While I was there, I was notified that my SIM pay-as-you-go balance was zero.
Jan 09 23:27:14 <elvispre> What's the betting that that is why I was not syncing time in LuneOS any more.
Jan 09 23:28:20 <elvispre> (Establishing a Wi-Fi connection is also sufficient to pick up time automatically, incidentally.)
Jan 09 23:31:29 <elvispre> Also, android displays the same device serial number as LuneOS does. The one on the box it came is different. I wonder what that one refers to.
