[05:11] tmarble: yes please and tell the people to either show up here or report via email [05:12] will do... [05:12] the final image should be available in 9/10 hours.. same contents (hopefully!) but different build time and therefor md5sum [05:14] tmarble: btw.. you can also invite people here, if they like to join [05:15] it's not a s3cr3t c4b4l channel ;) [05:15] I've already done that (and remember, there is no c4bal !) [05:15] ok.. yeah i know there is no cabal... [05:17] thanks for adding me to the team (btw)! [05:19] oh no problem :) [05:24] tmarble: you want to tell people that access to a security repository or a fully updated mirror is mandatory [05:24] or that thing will never work [05:24] well they will notice because they won't be able to see even a floppy disk on the box :) [05:25] so what you mean is they really need to have [05:25] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted [05:25] in sources.list (as a minimum)? [05:25] the installer automatically detects if a security mirror is available [05:25] either that or [05:26] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted [05:26] the installer will do it automatically [05:26] but if for any reason (like proxy) that thing is not reachable [05:26] it will not work [05:28] ok [05:34] fabbione: 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' [05:35] tmarble: one sec.. it's preseedable [05:37] http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/i386/apb.html [05:37] tmarble: never mind that it is for i386 docs [05:38] it's valid for sparc too [05:40] got 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-mirror [05:40] yes [05:40] that's like preseeding info [05:40] you can get to an entire handless install with that preseed thingy :) [05:40] which is really awesome! [05:41] it's good for large deployment [05:41] and that's why we took special care in preparing the sun-java5 packages such that the license acceptance could be preseeded [05:43] hehe [08:19] does anyone have experience running code in hyperviser (hyper-privileged) mode on T1000 or T2000 ? [08:39] tmarble: any report yet? [08:40] fabbione, no... but I did broadcast the message [08:40] ok [08:41] the likely candidate to do this is in Dublin and I may not hear back until tomorrow [08:43] no problem [08:43] if my evil plans to conquer the world will work, by tomorrow we will have a release [08:51] i guessed as much from your comments... I cannot guarantee to have install reports (good or bad) in time for your release decision, however [09:05] does anyone know, off hand, if there are any kernel module packages in the dapper repository for sparc? [09:05] I'm looking for best practices on developing, packaging kernel modules (note this is generic to Debian and Ubuntu and not specific to SPARC) === shinmen [n=alvaro@200.122.148.115] has joined #ubuntu-ports [11:16] fabbione: is this the same image you've tested on my t2000 or should I give it a whirl tonight? [11:17] just out of curiousity.. has anyone installed Ubuntu in a zone and run Solaris in another zone? === shinmen [n=alvaro@209.200.139.85] has joined #ubuntu-ports
