ubuntu 18.04 beta libva1 #114

Open ubuntushop opened 6 years ago

ubuntushop commented 6 years ago

Did a test with ubuntu 18.04 beta iso but fails with: ./isorespin.sh: Package 'libva1' not found and this package is not installable in ubuntu 18.04 (only with downloading deb and dpkg-i) is this package needed?

You do not need create isorespin ISO. Use regular daily build ISO and add manually boot parameters in grub.After install, download this rep and install kernel update-kernel.sh and update.sh. After reboot, all will be in same state like install from modified ISO. I am testing it and only sound have some problem, check my bug from start of this week.

I am also trying to install ubuntu 18.04 beta. But when using the regular daily build ISO i end up with a blank screen after choosing either to live-boot or to install off the usb directly. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

petrmatula190 commented 6 years ago

@YetiElvis Pres ESC when start boot from untouched ISO and search key for edit boot cmd line (if I boot in virtualbox, key is F6. If you have EFI boot directly on Pocket HW, it can be E. Add this oprions on cmdline and boot

Build 18.04 iso passing bionicbeaver parameter to respin script like:

./build.sh <iso filename> gnome bionicbeaver

(don't forget the gnome required parameter for default Ubuntu 17.10+)

So for 18.04 beta 2 iso it should be something like:

./build.sh ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso gnome bionicbeaver

Or if you want to package a Unity version this should work:

./build.sh ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso unity bionicbeaver

Installation is working ok, but fails on grub efi installation. Maybe because it is still beta. Installer does not see that there is efi boot. gd

stockmind commented 6 years ago

Are you installing Ubuntu on live environment with internet connection enabled and working?

Are you installing with “Check and install updates” enabled during install?

I had sometimes problems like that installing from Live environment without a working internet connection, It seems that sometimes the installer needs internet to download some packages to let GRUB install correctly.

Yes, internet is working,updates during install checked and also when unchecked. Log files from installer are minimal, i am trying to install with debug-ubiquity to get better logs.

syslog has also info: http://95.211.190.99/syslog

ubuntushop commented 6 years ago

I can confirm that the same iso is working ok on a uefi enabled laptop (ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso)

stockmind commented 6 years ago

@ubuntushop i had time to look better into logs, great job! The only odd thing is that GRUB output error show that it doesn't recognize the EFI system. Are you sure you booted as EFI and not legacy?

EFI variables are not supported on this system.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.

I should have time in the next days to test a clean install.

ubuntushop commented 6 years ago

It was on the GPD, i do not think you can disable Uefi. But i cannot reproduce: i have respinned the official ubuntu 18.04 but the installer crashes very early. I will look for the error

ubuntushop commented 6 years ago

it's a ubiquity xwindows error: http://95.211.190.99/debug http://95.211.190.99/syslog

@ubuntushop I had the ame isues with installer crashing very early. I have now been able to respin ubuntu and xubuntu 18.04 ISOs. The fix? A reboot.... I didn't see anything different in the respin logs, but ISOs created are making it to the EFI install error again...

hryamzik commented 6 years ago

@ubuntushop did you manage to solve this?

I face the same error but my disk setup may be a bit unusual, I've shrinked windows volume, added /boot ext4 512MB to a free space as a primary partition and added another primary partition, crypt, ext4 at /.

I'm also not sure if turning off fast startup and/or secure boot in windows could make difference.

hryamzik commented 6 years ago

Tried with gnome version – no lock as well, installer crashes. However original Ubuntu ISO works fine with the same options, looks like it's the best way to get system installed.

elcuervo commented 6 years ago

I ended up here as well the solution it's just adding bionicbeaver somewhere in the args:
