Software Issues / Re: SG6 install - zfs

« Last post by Darin on June 15, 2020, 10:16:33 AM »

I agree it is, this is based on Ubuntu 20.04 with the core of it and the installer being part of the core. The Ubiquity installer is the issue. I am moving away from it and towards a different installer in future releases and they might not even be based on Ubuntu. I found out that Ubuntu's patches mess up the Nvidia drivers and worked to fixed them until I just built my own kernel. I went round and round with the amdgpu open source driver until I found a fix for some of the onboard graphics. They rushed this release out and there are issues. I actually prefer the 16.04 release as it is polished but progress has to go forward, I just wished they put the same amount of time into it. I will do some testing to see if I find a simple fix but I am guessing that the mkfs program is the issue or gparted as I have not dived into the install scripts yet.

I belive, it is not a ZFS problem. I used ZFS on fedora more than 5 years without any problem. it is problem of the  install script, in the case of ZFS selection.

That is the Ubiquity installer that is standard on Ubuntu 20.04 base distros. I have plans on removing it completely and either finding a different installer or move on from Ubuntu as this release drove me crazy trying to fix things. ZFS is still experimental on Ubuntu no matter what they say.

Software Issues / Re: SG6 install - grub

I completely agree the Ubuntu installer is not the best but was easier than to rewrite an installer. I am ditching the Ubiquity Installer to move towards something more reliable and user friendly. I suggest looking into alternate methods to install on a different hard drive. If you installed via UEFI then this tool might help fix things and possible be able to install to any hard drive.

The grub installing to the  /dev/hda

Release Announcements / SuperGamer V6 Release

« Last post by Darin on June 02, 2020, 08:27:24 AM »

I will be uploading a new release shortly. Here is the description of the changes......

I am proud to announce the release of the SuperGamer v6. This is using the new 20.04 base. I have included some Games as well as Game Manager Installers. This release is going forward with the 5.6.14 kernel built for Low Lattency and unpatched. Nvidia drivers work from the Installer on this Kernel. I also included some more wallpapers and fixed some of the Ryzen 3 onboard graphics issues.  This should work for both Legacy and UEFI but as always your mileage may vary with different motherboards and BIOS's.
