[Lubuntu-qa] PPC - Ran out of space on /boot -- is this a bug?

2013-04-16 Thread Charlie Ford
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'm not doing anything specific with having extra kernels or custom kernels, but by just doing updates like normal I've ran out of space. I manually removed unnecessary kernels to free up space. Could this be a bug in the installer? Not giving enough room t

Hi, one of the things that grub-legacy can do is limit the number of old kernels it keeps around. I've not seen this functionality in grub-2 and I manually remove the old kernel entries. I'm not sure if one of the "tweak" utilities can do this more easily. Regards, Phill. On 16 April 2013 18:09

Phil, I realize you weren't asking me, but the "install grub boot loader" step doesn't currently apply. (yet? Fedora is moving to grub2 on PPC. :) I'm NOT attempting to open that can of worms. :) ) I expect most PPC users are aware of yaboot vs. grub anyway. ? It may be useful for some to add a

Prairie Zephyr, I speculate many USB PPC boot troubles come from confusion because of two factors: 1. default devalias names change across different firmware versions and later versions include the disk in the alias path. (IE: usb@1/disk@1:2 vs UD:2, etc. ) Some don't even have an alias for the US

[Lubuntu-qa] New upgrade test - via live image

2013-04-16 Thread Lance
Just to catch everyone up on the basics; beginning with Maverick ubiquity began offering an upgrade path that's quite different than both the standard upgrade via the update-mangler or via the alternate image. Basically, based on my own experience, this option will only be offered if you have o

Just thought to add; If we move it to the desktop image testing it should possibly be "optional" rather than "mandatory". But my original point, which I did a poor job of explaining, is that upgrading via the live image is very much dependent on the date the image was produced rather than a "w

a week or so ago i did an alternate install with no network. it carried on like normal and i had no problems. today, using 20130416, selecting the option to not configure the network at this time leads to the installer asking to select a mirror. if a mirror is selected, it then attempts to

It would be nice if there were and easy way to set up persistence from within the Live CD session itself. Can that be done? Regards, /Lars -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help
