• ubuntu-server installer borked today

    From Adrian Caspersz@2:250/1 to All on Thursday, February 05, 2026 19:52:12
    Latest live CD for ubuntu server 24.04.3 fails if ye have a live network connection... it's trying to download a kernel update that another
    downloaded meta file says is ready for it.

    Wonder how long it will take to fix, fetching some popcorn now....

    Imagine if ye are a network engineer timetabled to appear on a site at x o'clock, expecting your shiny new downloaded ISO to install. In the rush
    to keep the customer happy, do you proceed to install without taking
    immediate updates, after wasting an entire morning swearing at the
    blasted installer?
