fabbionehey guys05:06
fabbionehttp://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/sparc/boot.img05:08
fabbionethis should be the final netboot image for sparc release05:09
fabbioneplease test :)05:09
tmarbleI'll forward the message internally (Thanks!)05:10
fabbionetmarble: yes please and tell the people to either show up here or report via email05:11
tmarblewill do... 05:12
fabbionethe final image should be available in 9/10 hours.. same contents (hopefully!) but different build time and therefor md5sum05:12
fabbionetmarble: btw.. you can also invite people here, if they like to join05:14
fabbioneit's not a s3cr3t c4b4l channel ;)05:15
tmarbleI've already done that (and remember, there is no c4bal !)05:15
fabbioneok.. yeah i know there is no cabal...05:15
tmarblethanks for adding me to the team (btw)!05:17
fabbioneoh no problem :)05:19
fabbionetmarble: you want to tell people that access to a security repository or a fully updated mirror is mandatory05:24
fabbioneor that thing will never work05:24
fabbionewell they will notice because they won't be able to see even a floppy disk on the box :)05:24
tmarbleso what you mean is they really need to have05:25
tmarbledeb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted05:25
tmarblein sources.list (as a minimum)?05:25
fabbionethe installer automatically detects if a security mirror is available05:25
fabbioneeither that or 05:25
fabbionedeb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted05:26
fabbionethe installer will do it automatically05:26
fabbionebut if for any reason (like proxy) that thing is not reachable05:26
fabbioneit will not work05:26
tmarbleok05:28
tmarblefabbione: how can one specify a proxy for the netboot?  normally I do this as the environment variable before apt-get, for example, export http_proxy='http://webcache:8080'05:34
fabbionetmarble: one sec.. it's preseedable05:35
fabbionehttp://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/i386/apb.html05:37
fabbionetmarble: never mind that it is for i386 docs05:37
fabbioneit's valid for sparc too05:38
tmarblegot it... so the trick is to do "d-i mirror/http/proxy string" according to http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/i386/apbs03.html#preseed-mirror05:40
fabbioneyes05:40
fabbionethat's like preseeding info05:40
fabbioneyou can get to an entire handless install with that preseed thingy :)05:40
tmarblewhich is really awesome!05:40
fabbioneit's good for large deployment05:41
tmarbleand that's why we took special care in preparing the sun-java5 packages such that the license acceptance could be preseeded05:41
fabbionehehe05:43
tmarbledoes anyone have experience running code in hyperviser (hyper-privileged) mode on T1000 or T2000 ?08:19
fabbionetmarble: any report yet?08:39
tmarblefabbione, no... but I did broadcast the message08:40
fabbioneok08:40
tmarblethe likely candidate to do this is in Dublin and I may not hear back until tomorrow08:41
fabbioneno problem08:43
fabbioneif my evil plans to conquer the world will work, by tomorrow we will have a release08:43
tmarblei guessed as much from your comments... I cannot guarantee to have install reports (good or bad) in time for your release decision, however08:51
tmarbledoes anyone know, off hand, if there are any kernel module packages in the dapper repository for sparc?09:05
tmarbleI'm looking for best practices on developing, packaging kernel modules (note this is generic to Debian and Ubuntu and not specific to SPARC)09:05
