Firstly, thanks to the devs for such a great suite of tools.
As for my hardware I have the (12 core) i7 model with 64GB RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD drive.
Install was basically painless with just a few issues.
- The onboard ethernet is not supported.
Checking the latest ubuntu 16.04.6 (which was my base install) shows that the eno driver was updated to support this card, maybe the eve kernel can be updated to support it.
I got round this by using a USB ethernet adapter.
(in the debug output in the attachment the other network card that doesn't attach to any driver is the wireless) - The display isn't supported (and during the install there are warnings about missing firmware for the i915 driver)
This means the console is completely black as linux boots which was confusing at first. (added to the ethernet not working). I ended up editing my /etc/default/grub so that grub isn't silent and I could tell at least when the boot had started. I intend to mostly run this headless but it would be good to be able to have console incase something messes up my system or if I need to change how my network works before plugging it in.
I have attached the output of:
Code: Select all
sudo lshw -json -c system -c display -c network -sanitize
Code: Select all
sudo journalctl -b --utc --dmesg -a
Let me know if any other data is needed, and I'm willing to test any changes etc.
Thanks.
