zakamehi cjwatson , just read your mail on d-i10:14
cjwatsonhm, not immensely useful for me to be told of new subscribers to ubuntu-installer; /me turns that off10:15

henocjwatson: when someone reports a bug in 6.06 and then tries it on 6.06.1 and finds it fixed do we simply mark is as 'Fixed' without fully understanding the bug? (no logs forthcoming) eg bug 4811701:06
cjwatsonheno: might as well mark that fix-released; freezes are typically kernel bugs or bad CDs anyway, and we won't be able to diagnose it any further01:30
henook, thx01:32
=== cjwatson imports partman-base into bzr
allmanjcjwatson: hey - still having difficulty running a command after users are created on a dapper install cd. I created a file in /usr/lib/finish-install.d but it doesn't appear to be run...02:03

cjwatsonallmanj: in dapper, you need to use /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d02:05
cjwatson/usr/lib/finish-install.d was introduced in edgy02:05
neutrinomassNot sure if this is the right place but I just want to double check that I didn't wrongly reject this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/6159802:06
allmanjcjwatson, thanks! hard to find that...02:06
cjwatsonneutrinomass: this is the right place. Your rejection seems fair to me.02:07
neutrinomasscjwatson: Ok, thanks :-)02:07
cjwatsonneutrinomass: it may not *necessarily* be a dead hard disk, though; the ubiquity/install/copying_error/hd_fault template in debian/ubiquity.templates in the ubiquity source package is roughly what I usually use for rejection messages in that case02:08
cjwatsonthere might be other reasons other than temperature as well; if you encounter any, do let me know ...02:08
cjwatsonhmm, I wonder if there's any way that I could arrange for bzr pushes of installer branches to the supermirror to have their commit messages logged here02:09
cjwatsonhttps://launchpad.net/products/bzr-cia looks interesting02:10
neutrinomassahh, I didn't know that ubiquity printed such errors nowadays ... neat :)02:11
cjwatsonyeah, I did that in edgy to try to reduce the number of bugs we got due to broken disks of various kinds02:11
cjwatsonand in general it seems like a good idea to try to print saner crash messages where possible, if the crash is unavoidable ...02:12
neutrinomassI take it that nothing similar can be done for faulty RAM, right ? (I rejected such a bug today thinking it's impossible)02:13
cjwatsonit's pretty hard since the bug could show up just about anywhere02:13
cjwatsonwhich bug was that?02:13
neutrinomassjust a sec, I lost it02:15
neutrinomasshttps://launchpad.net/bugs/7044102:18
cjwatsonno, I think you're right there02:22
cjwatsonok, hopefully we'll have the CIA bot here soonish; I've asked for it to track ubiquity and oem-config commits for now02:22
=== Riddell [i=jr@kde/jriddell] has joined #ubuntu-installer
Riddellcrivvens, a new channel for me02:24
cjwatsonhello02:25
Riddellcjwatson: a kubuntu live session should be enough (it just needs python-qt4) but there's a bug in python-qt4 where the user interface compiler only works with python2.5 so it may need python2.5 installed until I fix the package (top of my todo list)02:25
cjwatsonI can do that02:25
cjwatsonif my test machine hadn't decided that DISPLAYING ANYTHING was for wimps02:26
cjwatsonah, there it is02:26
Riddellcjwatson: I didn't look at the xembed stuff yet, so the qtparted window pops up externally for now02:27
cjwatsonok, hopefully I'll manage to make that go away anyway02:27
cjwatsonbooting kubuntu now, will take a while to build stuff etc.02:27
=== allmanj is still confused by dapper and prebaseconfig.d
cjwatsonhttp://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/cjwatson <- excellent, ubiquity commits02:52
allmanji've created a script in there with a late_command and the permissions are good (i intentionally put in a crappy command at the end so the system wouldn't reboot)02:53
allmanjthe script creates a directory for a user created earlier and copies a file from the cd into it02:53
allmanjbut it doesn't appear to be run...02:53
cjwatsonwhat's the script name?02:53
allmanj01ssh_keys?02:54
cjwatsonshould be ok. is there an "info: Running /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/01ssh_keys" or "error: Unable to execute /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/01ssh_keys" message in syslog?02:54
cjwatsonoh, hang on, you're creating the script with a late_command?02:55
allmanjyes?02:55
allmanji need it to be run after the user has been created...02:55
cjwatsonallmanj: that won't work, you need to create it with an early_command; by the time late_command is run, prebaseconfig has already decided what scripts in /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d to execute02:55
cjwatsonlate_command being run from a prebaseconfig script itself02:55
allmanj... oh. d'oh!02:56
allmanjthanks02:56
cjwatsonallmanj: you'll need to set the number appropriately02:56
cjwatsonallmanj: I suggest 07 rather than 0102:56
cjwatsonuser-setup is run at 0602:56
allmanjah groovy - much thanks. That definitely would have got me!02:57
cjwatsonsometimes I really wish I could update the dapper installer in non-trivial ways :) gets very confusing02:57
cjwatsonbut then I consider the pain that would cause, in turn ...02:57
allmanjaye. it's just a shame that just about all of the documentation is for edgy02:58
cjwatsonthere's the installation-guide package in dapper?03:00
cjwatsoninstallation-guide-i38603:00
cjwatsonsorry if I've mentioned it to you before03:00
cjwatsonit does have a few errors though - mentions base-config and such03:00

cjwatsonRiddell: "pyuic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.7)"03:02
allmanjthat did the job there anyway - thanks a mil03:11
cjwatsongood03:12
Riddellcjwatson: what says that?03:15
Riddellit may help to do:  cp -r /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/ /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/uic03:15
Riddellcjwatson: you don't need to copmile the .ui file any more, it does that at run time03:15

jerom1Hi all03:40
jerom1When i add theses packages in my kickstart linux-headers-server, linux-image-server, linux-source my initrd is failed after reboot. Have you an idea ?03:41
cjwatsoncould you please give more detail, e.g. exact error messages?03:41
jerom1unmoutable device ... kernel panic after reboot03:42
jerom1and my grub conf is ok03:42
cjwatsoncheck that the initramfs is being generated for the correct kernel flavour03:42
cjwatson#ubuntu-kernel will probably be better at this03:42
jerom1oki thanks03:42
cjwatsonmind you, you shouldn't be installing linux-image-server in the %packages section in kickstart03:43
cjwatsonjerom1: to use the server kernel, 'preseed base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-image-server' (or linux-server to include restricted modules as well) is better03:44
cjwatsonif you installed it in pkgsel it's entirely possible that the initramfs just wasn't generated03:44
Riddellcjwatson: I've not been making .debs out of it, only running it manually03:45
cjwatsonmy normal testing method is to use debuild to build a package; makes sure it keeps working ...03:47
Riddellpackaging updated05:14
cjwatsonnote I just did some packaging work on my side too05:14
cjwatsonto make desktop, pixmaps, po subdirs be built even if UBIQUITY_NO_GTK=105:14
jerom1how to install kernel image server with kickstart please ?05:33
jerom1i install generic, but i cannot install server, how to install this please ?05:34
cjwatson14:44 < cjwatson> jerom1: to use the server kernel, 'preseed base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-image-server' (or linux-server to include restricted modules as well) is better05:48
cjwatsonrequires edgy05:48
cjwatsonoh, no, I tell a lie05:48
cjwatsonI implemented base-installer/kernel/override-image in dapper05:48
cjwatsonso just put the above in the main section of your kickstart file05:49
cjwatsonRiddell: do we still need to build-dep on python-kde3-dev?05:57
cjwatsonsince kdepyuic isn't called in the build process any more05:57
Riddellcjwatson: no05:59
