do all ubuntu flavours support the same hardware?
Genuine 2017-01-29 20:55:03
if possible can someone direct me to which cpu architecture is supported by which ubuntu flavour?
hateball 2017-01-29 20:56:37
Genuine: The same kernel is used in all flavors
Genuine 2017-01-29 20:57:13
thank you very much. are ARM 32/64 architectures supported?
hateball 2017-01-29 20:57:21
Genuine: But you have the option of using alternative kernels, like lowlatency for audio work etc
hateball 2017-01-29 20:57:32
!arm
ubottu 2017-01-29 20:57:33
ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel.

hi there, I just installed ubuntu full installation on USB stick; installer made UEFI partition (fat32) with stuff on it. However, my USB stick doesn't show up on UEFI boot menu. I have secure boot on. How do I debug this?
Genuine 2017-01-29 20:58:38
what would you say the lightest ubuntu distro is?
Xz 2017-01-29 20:59:36
also, funny observation is that LIVE Ubuntu boots fine on the same system. And LIVE Ubuntu has different UEFI partition
hateball 2017-01-29 21:00:00
Genuine: Lubuntu or Xubuntu
hateball 2017-01-29 21:00:26
Genuine: You can just pick DE at login time, there's no need for reinstalls or such
hateball 2017-01-29 21:00:51
It's just a matter of what comes installed by default
Genuine 2017-01-29 21:01:39
sweet, i was thinking of buying a celeron based laptop then install a light ubuntu distro in this case xubuntu or lubuntu..
Genuine 2017-01-29 21:01:56
i've had a problem with this in the past though.

hey guys, I have a problem with OpenVPN on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, for some reason when I go to the top "VPN Connections" and select one, it does not even try to connect, and disconnect is not highlightable either :/
hateball 2017-01-29 21:03:31
Genuine: Google $model + ubuntu and you'll quickly see if people have had issues. With laptops it's usually crappy wifi drivers or things like backlight control, but in general you'll probably be fine with whatever
Genuine 2017-01-29 21:05:52
seems like a problem with the newer kernels
Genuine 2017-01-29 21:07:15
i will look into older ubuntu distros with older kernels.. is there a specific date for a new ubuntu release? not supported for nine months but for four years or around that.
ducasse 2017-01-29 21:07:35
Genuine: lts support is 5 years
hateball 2017-01-29 21:08:21
Genuine: the next LTS is 18.04
hateball 2017-01-29 21:08:34
So you'll be waiting a while
ducasse 2017-01-29 21:08:58
Genuine: also, version numbers are year.month, so 14.04 was released in april 2014
Xz 2017-01-29 21:10:01
is there anybody here who understands secure boot?

i'll stick with 16.04 for now
Genuine 2017-01-29 21:12:20
what's the difference between alternate installer and desktop edition? like 16.04.1 and 16.04

nukeu666 2017-01-29 21:12:24
i added some enc variables as a new sh file in profile.d, do i need to relogin for it to be read?

Genuine: the alternate installer is text-based, based on the debian installer. more options etc.

Hi, I have two HDDs on my 14.04.5 system, one now has 9 bad sectors so it should be taken offline. The bad disk has the system mounted and the active swap. I moved swap to the good disk with Disks ok. Is it possible to move the system onto the good disk?
ikevin 2017-01-29 21:44:03
CIclops, from a live session you can use dd to copy from the bad disk to the good one
ikevin 2017-01-29 21:44:17
just need to create an identical partition
