HI @maphew - apologies on my slow response of late. I'm trying to tidy up the last of the v15.0 lose ends... But I just spotted this and it jumped out at me as particularly concerning...
TBH, I'm not really sure how that could be possible.
Our build process should make that a completely impossible outcome. I won't go into why that is, but if you're interested, I'm happy to. TLDR is that looking through the buildcode I can see numerous reason why that just should not be possible...
Are you 100% sure that you downloaded and wrote the v15.0 LXC appliance onto your USB stick? I.e. turnkey-lxc-15.0-stretch-amd64.iso
?! If so, then the contents of /etc/turnkey_version
should exactly match that (without the .iso on the end). FWIW both the name of the ISO and the contents of /etc/turnkey_version
come from the same place!
Anyway, I've just downloaded the ISO and will double check myself as in the unlikely event that is true, that's a major stuff up!
Even if you definitely downloaded the right one, I think you must have accidentally written the wrong one to your USB?! I just downloaded via this link: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/download?file=turnkey-lxc-15.0-stretch-amd64.iso
I installed it to a VirtualBox VM and it's definitely v15.0:
Can you please double check the name of your file and perhaps rewrite it to your USB? Or perhaps even launch it in a VM?
Sorry for all the work I caused! So embarassing. Eep.
I think I know what must have happened. I burnt v14.2 to disc and that was still in the tray from previous day. I instructed BIOS to boot from USB but it fell back to disc.
In my defense: there's no version reported in the boot menu. I tried to boot into Live mode to verify version but that failed; see #1223. There's nothing in the filesystem or partition label to show version either.
Ah ha! That'll do it...
You raise a good point though. Rather than closing this issue, let's re-purpose it as a feature request to make the version obvious during the install?!
Repurposing the issue is perfect. It's what I came here to do today :-)
@JedMeister status?
This should be a pretty easy one, so I might try to bundle this in when I do the UEFI stuff.
Update by @JedMeister - This issue has been re-purposed to request that the appliance version be displayed during the install process (the earlier and/or the more obviously the better). That will reduce the chances of the below scenario reoccurring.
The downloadable ISO image for LXC v15 appears to actually be v14.2, from https://www.turnkeylinux.org/comment/30389#comment-30389
This what was installed:
and the isolinux folder files in the boot-usb:
