[07:24] <fabbione> morning
[07:26] <braddr> hiya
[05:06] <fabbione> hey guys
[05:08] <fabbione> http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/sparc/boot.img
[05:09] <fabbione> this should be the final netboot image for sparc release
[05:09] <fabbione> please test :)
[05:10] <tmarble> I'll forward the message internally (Thanks!)
[05:11] <fabbione> tmarble: yes please and tell the people to either show up here or report via email
[05:12] <tmarble> will do... 
[05:12] <fabbione> the final image should be available in 9/10 hours.. same contents (hopefully!) but different build time and therefor md5sum
[05:14] <fabbione> tmarble: btw.. you can also invite people here, if they like to join
[05:15] <fabbione> it's not a s3cr3t c4b4l channel ;)
[05:15] <tmarble> I've already done that (and remember, there is no c4bal !)
[05:15] <fabbione> ok.. yeah i know there is no cabal...
[05:17] <tmarble> thanks for adding me to the team (btw)!
[05:19] <fabbione> oh no problem :)
[05:24] <fabbione> tmarble: you want to tell people that access to a security repository or a fully updated mirror is mandatory
[05:24] <fabbione> or that thing will never work
[05:24] <fabbione> well they will notice because they won't be able to see even a floppy disk on the box :)
[05:25] <tmarble> so what you mean is they really need to have
[05:25] <tmarble> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
[05:25] <tmarble> in sources.list (as a minimum)?
[05:25] <fabbione> the installer automatically detects if a security mirror is available
[05:25] <fabbione> either that or 
[05:26] <fabbione> deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
[05:26] <fabbione> the installer will do it automatically
[05:26] <fabbione> but if for any reason (like proxy) that thing is not reachable
[05:26] <fabbione> it will not work
[05:28] <tmarble> ok
[05:34] <tmarble> 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] <fabbione> tmarble: one sec.. it's preseedable
[05:37] <fabbione> http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/i386/apb.html
[05:37] <fabbione> tmarble: never mind that it is for i386 docs
[05:38] <fabbione> it's valid for sparc too
[05:40] <tmarble> 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] <fabbione> yes
[05:40] <fabbione> that's like preseeding info
[05:40] <fabbione> you can get to an entire handless install with that preseed thingy :)
[05:40] <tmarble> which is really awesome!
[05:41] <fabbione> it's good for large deployment
[05:41] <tmarble> and that's why we took special care in preparing the sun-java5 packages such that the license acceptance could be preseeded
[05:43] <fabbione> hehe
[08:19] <tmarble> does anyone have experience running code in hyperviser (hyper-privileged) mode on T1000 or T2000 ?
[08:39] <fabbione> tmarble: any report yet?
[08:40] <tmarble> fabbione, no... but I did broadcast the message
[08:40] <fabbione> ok
[08:41] <tmarble> the likely candidate to do this is in Dublin and I may not hear back until tomorrow
[08:43] <fabbione> no problem
[08:43] <fabbione> if my evil plans to conquer the world will work, by tomorrow we will have a release
[08:51] <tmarble> 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] <tmarble> does anyone know, off hand, if there are any kernel module packages in the dapper repository for sparc?
[09:05] <tmarble> I'm looking for best practices on developing, packaging kernel modules (note this is generic to Debian and Ubuntu and not specific to SPARC)
[11:16] <Brad_> fabbione: is this the same image you've tested on my t2000 or should I give it a whirl tonight?
[11:17] <tmarble> just out of curiousity.. has anyone installed Ubuntu in a zone and run Solaris in another zone?
