Question (I know I should try this on my own, but unfortunately, not enough bandwidth for even downloading a CD): Does the Ubunu Live CD/DVD come with an installer, and what does it do exactly? [04:34] knopper: it comes with an installer, which installs the system when you want it to. [04:34] knopper: #ubuntu is more appropriate for this question. [04:34] HiddenWolf: Srry, you may have mistaken this for a beginenr question. ;-) I actually meant "what does it do", i.e., are you using apt-get/dpkg for a package-wise installation, or are you doing an rsync of the live system to harddisk? [04:35] knopper: The live system is somewhat copied in place [04:35] It doesn't use packages, so it's not suitable for upgrades [04:36] mjg59: That's what I thought, so it actually does what the older version of knoppix-installer did, format a harddisk partition and copy / from the live system to the harddisk, then creating a fstab and lilo.conf (or grub menu), right? [04:36] mjg59: So, do you know if anybody is working on a package-wise installer for the Ubuntu Live DVD? This would eliminate the need for separate Live vs. Installer DVDs. [04:37] mjg59: I have a proof-of-concept that shows it's working fine. You can update Debian from a Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD, package-wise including resolving of package dependencies. [04:37] <\sh> hmm..has someone an IBM T43 laptop at hand? [04:38] \sh: Sorry, just a few old IBM Thinkpads here. [04:39] <\sh> I wonder if it's just me and my installation or it's a bug that sometimes it's not halting correctly... [04:40] Btw, which would be the right channel to talk to a few people who are at the meeting in paris next week? [04:40] knopper: No idea, I'm afraid [04:41] knopper: The right person to talk to about this is Colin Watson (kamion) [04:43] mjg59: He's idle for 15 hours, so I guess I'll have to try later. Btw, he is the one working on the ubuntu installer, right? [04:45] Yup [04:45] He's probably on his way to Paris at the moment [04:46] mjg59: Oh, already. Unfortunately, I can travel on Tuesday first, and will miss the first two days. But good to know he's there, too. [04:46] knopper: the live DVD has both live and installer on it. [04:48] Mithrandir: Right, but can the live CD be installed _package-wise_, was my question. [04:48] Mithrandir: Or do you mean, the DVD can be booted in installer- and live-mode, with a different image? === phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:48] knopper: the latter is correct. [04:48] knopper: the live installer always just copies the read-only file system. [04:49] (and then munges it a little bit) [04:49] Mithrandir: My idea was to have a single-image live DVD (consiting of unpacked .deb packages) which can still be installed package-wise. [04:49] knopper: uh, how would you do that? dpkg-repack hacks? [04:50] Mithrandir: I see, that's what I guessed. So, if the installer could just handle _unpacked_ .debs from the livs system, we could have a simgle-image live+install system that can be used for both. [04:50] Mithrandir: Kind of. It already works on KNoppix 5.0.1. [04:50] Mithrandir: I.e. you can update packages on an installed system, from the live DVD, including dependencies. [04:50] it sounds brittle and slow at first thought. [04:51] but being able to upgrade off a live cd would be sweet [04:51] Mithrandir: There is just an intermediate dpkg-repack for each chosen/dependent package that I deen to get rid of, and I thought, this may be a nice proposal for a BOF session at the meeting next week. [04:52] I think we might be short on time, but please do jump onto IRC and remind us. [04:52] Mithrandir: Not only that, but in both cases, the installer and the live image, you share about 99% of the same data (except for configuration files), so it is a big waste of space to duplicate everything. [04:52] they're differently compressed, though === jane_ [n=JaneW@dsl-146-167-152.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:53] Mithrandir: I'll try to get ahold of Colin later, since he is working on ubiquity and could maybe add that feature for generic live DVD support. [04:53] I wonder if it'd be feasible to do something like compute a delta between what you'd get from dpkg-repack and the original .deb and ship that somewhere.. [04:53] which would give you trusted installs too. [04:53] he's not the only one working on the installer. :-P [04:54] Mithrandir: .debs are basically zipped, tarred, and ar'ed files, and the live CD consists f a blockwise (or filewise) compressed filesystem, so, about 1:3 compressin for both cases. [04:54] (I've hacked a bit on ubiquity and am responsible for the live cd, fyi) [04:54] Mithrandir: Oh, perfect. :-) [04:54] Mithrandir: So, is there already a BOF planned for stuff like this, where I could just drop in? [04:54] Mithrandir: so we blame you for breaking it! [04:54] yes, but differently compressed. squashfs compresses the image a directory at a time, .debs are a package at a time. [04:55] Hobbsee: what's broken? [04:55] I was just in the progress of adding a proposal, which is a little late now since the deadline was 12th of june, but anyways. [04:55] knopper: I'm not sure, there's a bunch of live cd discussions where we could possibly fit it in. [04:55] knopper: you're planning on attending? [04:55] Mithrandir: well, i discovered that the italian stuff wasnt auto-installed when it was picked as a language, i think [04:55] let me find which bug it was [04:55] Mithrandir: I already checked, but nothing yet that would really fit that idea of merging the installer and live parts. [04:55] Mithrandir: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/39483 [04:56] Malone bug 39483 in debian-installer "Kubuntu 6.06 final dvd doesn't install italian language for kde and other packages" [Medium,Confirmed] [04:56] Hobbsee: I mainly did the keyboard thingy, not langpacks.

I think Colin's going to be busy with ubiquity bugs this cycle. [04:57] there's this "too many bugs, too few developers" problem we're having..

[05:14] Mithrandir: On the other hand... Ok, I found the "Add to meeting" button. ;-) [05:20] rubso: It would be the first real Debian-installer that actually works. ;-) [05:21] knopper: uh. d-i works quite well and has for a long time. [05:21] knopper: can you give me debian-installer source code to build it for a LiveCD? :) [05:22] <\sh> knopper: plan to attend froscon on saturday/sunday, too? :) [05:24] <\sh> rubso: it's konversation..

[05:44] 1st === Mez [i=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:44] Mithrandir: (sorry for the delay, was writing another proposal), it's just me, I'm too much end-user to be able to use the regular debian-installer or synaptic. I think it's not suited for beginners. I'd rather use debootstrap and apt-get manually instead of any existing "graphical" installer for Debian yet. The only way I manage to install Debian with a graphical interface is booting KNoppix and running the knoppix-installer yet. [05:44] <\sh> Hobbsee: honestly, if I hadn't this personal break down in the last months, I would give everything to go to paris this month... [05:45] Mithrandir: But you can still convince me it's possible. ;-) [05:45] \sh: um, i never said anything about that... [05:45] jdub, jdub_: around? [05:45] rubso: You mean, of the knoppix-installer? It's a shell script on Knoppix, and I hate it, it's really awful and I would like to replace it by something better. [05:45] <\sh> Hobbsee: so...you should give it a try and leave uni for at least one week for this event ;) [05:46] i think next event i'm gonna go to is (other than LRL) aKademy [05:46] \sh: time is usually 2/3 weeks after the release.. release schedule will be done in Paris.. where... that's really up to how the sab wakes up in the morning [05:47] <\sh> fabbione: yeah :) I hope it's not too far away...let's say sweden, denmark or norway would be cold enough ;) [05:47] \sh: let me tell you, it *wouldnt* be worth coming home to, i assure you, if i were to miss a week of uni... [05:47] \sh: hah ubz2 [05:47] \sh: unlikely to be north EU.. too expensive [05:47] <\sh> Hobbsee: with approval of your profs and parents, of course [05:47] \sh: but i was hoping for dk at least once [05:48] \sh: yeah, the latter would be the issue :P and wouldnt happen. "you're a foolish girl" would be minor in comparison to what mum'd say....oh well. [05:48] knopper: synaptic has nothing to do with d-i. [05:49] \sh: Sorry, I won't make it for froscon. I have two exams to prepare till 26th. :-( [05:49] <\sh> Hobbsee: let riddell convince sabdfl to talk to your parents in person ;) [05:49] \sh: which would then scare the hell out of them. i havent dared tell them that riddell has my number :P [05:49] Hobbsee - lol :D [05:49] i know even that would send them thru the roof :P [05:50] Mithrandir: d-i is the thing that used to ask me if I want to install pcmcia support, and then fails the installation because of wrong dependencies (at least that was the case tw years ago, when I tried last, pardon my ignorance. ;-) [05:50] <\sh> knopper: I just asked, I missed your name on the agenda :) === puccio [n=puccio@host106-152.pool876.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:51] \sh: My name is on the list that Claire sent by mail, it's not in the web yet.

[05:51] knopper: I doubt you used d-i two years ago. [05:52] \sh: Yes, sorry, I got an email from the Froscon organizers and had no time to reply. For about a month now. :-( === puccio [n=puccio@host106-152.pool876.interbusiness.it] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [05:53] Mithrandir: I tried to install Debian with the supplied installer, honestly! [05:53] knopper: did you try to install Sarge or Woody? [05:54] Mithrandir: Woody, I think. [05:54] fabione and fabitwo [05:54] knopper: then you used boot-floppies, not d-i. === klugez [n=kluge@xob.kapsi.fi] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [05:54] fabbione and fabbitwo even [05:54] sladen: ?

[05:55] oh yeah [05:55] fabbione: yup :) [05:55] we need a new X maintainer :P [05:55] <\sh> lol [05:56] Mithrandir: I used a "Rescue-Floppy" (!) to load the kernel, and then an installer popped up and asked me some questions that I answered honestly. I had to copy a new kernel in the midst of everything, though, because the included one didn't work. [05:56] :) [05:56] i already have a thin client as present for him/her [05:56] <\sh> fabbione: edubuntu rocks ;) [05:56] fabbione: get one of those micro Japanese keyboards and the fingers should fit from day one === _ion would have many suitable computers for a thin client, but no adequate server for them. ;-) [05:56] knopper: that's totally irrelevant, the b-f codebase has been scrapped and d-i is designed in a wholly different way. [05:56] sladen: nah.. better they start to stretch the fingers :) [05:57] <_ion> sladen: And additionally {,s}he would learn Japanese! :-) [05:58] <\sh> fabbione: use old big heavy ibm keyboards ;) [05:58] Mithrandir: But the d-i is still looking like ncurses/dialog, right? Alexander Schmehl is frequently showing Debian installatins with this at Linux expos. Sometimes it works for him. [05:59] knopper: that depends on what frontend you use. [05:59] knopper: but yeah, slang is the default frontend. [05:59] <\sh> knopper: ubuntus d-i installation always worked without problems...(stable releases) [06:00] anyway, I'll see if I can find some coke here to stop my blood sugar falling completely through the floor. [06:01] \sh: Question: Would you let a person who has no computer skills whatsoever, use this installer? [06:01] <\sh> knopper: yes..I did already many times :) [06:01] <\sh> knopper: and we did it during linuxtag 2006 at our kubuntu booth :) [06:02] <\sh> knopper: less then 20 minutes including downloading updates and security packages [06:02] <\sh> knopper: breezy that was [06:03] \sh: So, chances are that we have met there in May. But I have seen people failing at the tast to just hit return on any question. The partitioner is probably the hardest part. What about that? [06:04] <\sh> knopper: well, that's the worst part...but we have a "resize windows partittion and partition automagically your hd" option, which is enough for people with no computer skills [06:04] \sh: I must admit that I mostly use Knoppix for Debian-installation, or plain debootstrap, as said before, so, I didn't take notice of any important d-i changes yet. I would like d-i to be able to install from an already installed partition rather than from a repository, then it would be worth considering an inclusion in KNoppix. [06:05] \sh: Automatically resizing Windows partitions, very adventurous... :-) [06:05] <\sh> knopper: with "already installed partition" you mean the live dvd? [06:06] <\sh> knopper: it works :) I promise..I did it many times :) [06:06] Kamion, ping [06:07] <\sh> Mez: he is on his way to paris I think :) === marcin_ant [n=marcin@194.114.146.122] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:07] \sh: For example, but more generic. Let's say you have installed a quite complete (12GB) Debian system on /dev/hda1, and now you want to use this installation, to install a small subset of it (a thin-client configuration, for example) on hda2. But, you do not have any .deb packages, just the hda1 installation. YOu have te data and the package lists in /var/lib/dpkg, so, why should the installer not be able to do that, instead of [06:07] \sh: building a repository first? === carlospc [n=carlospc@246.218.119-80.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:07] <\sh> knopper: but I can show you during essener linuxtage or linuxexpo in cologne...or you come to the LinuxHotel from the 21st to 23rd July to our FAI developer meeting ;) [06:08] hi, anybody at paris? [06:08] \sh: Alexander Schmehl always tried to convince me that the Debian installer works, but everytime he tried to show me, it failed. Must be me. ;-) [06:09] <\sh> knopper: hmm...you could do that, no doubt, but thinking of installing an unclean chroot (e.g. thin client). It's something which I wouldn't prefer as installation candidate [06:09] i've just arrived to Paris to go to the Ubuntu Developer Summit, i don't know if there is already somebody at the hotel, help!
