(no logs forthcoming) eg bug 48117 [01:30] heno: 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 further [01:32] ok, thx === cjwatson imports partman-base into bzr [02:03] cjwatson: 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... === cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-installer === neutrinomass [n=pandis@ppp128-80.adsl.forthnet.gr] has joined #ubuntu-installer [02:05] allmanj: in dapper, you need to use /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d [02:05] /usr/lib/finish-install.d was introduced in edgy [02:06] Not 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/61598 [02:06] cjwatson, thanks! hard to find that... [02:07] neutrinomass: this is the right place. Your rejection seems fair to me. [02:07] cjwatson: Ok, thanks :-) [02:08] neutrinomass: 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 case [02:08] there might be other reasons other than temperature as well; if you encounter any, do let me know ... [02:09] hmm, 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 here [02:10] https://launchpad.net/products/bzr-cia looks interesting [02:11] ahh, I didn't know that ubiquity printed such errors nowadays ... neat :) [02:11] yeah, I did that in edgy to try to reduce the number of bugs we got due to broken disks of various kinds [02:12] and in general it seems like a good idea to try to print saner crash messages where possible, if the crash is unavoidable ... [02:13] I take it that nothing similar can be done for faulty RAM, right ? (I rejected such a bug today thinking it's impossible) [02:13] it's pretty hard since the bug could show up just about anywhere [02:13] which bug was that? [02:15] just a sec, I lost it [02:18] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70441 [02:22] no, I think you're right there [02:22] ok, hopefully we'll have the CIA bot here soonish; I've asked for it to track ubiquity and oem-config commits for now === Riddell [i=jr@kde/jriddell] has joined #ubuntu-installer [02:24] crivvens, a new channel for me [02:25] hello [02:25] cjwatson: 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] I can do that [02:26] if my test machine hadn't decided that DISPLAYING ANYTHING was for wimps [02:26] ah, there it is [02:27] cjwatson: I didn't look at the xembed stuff yet, so the qtparted window pops up externally for now [02:27] ok, hopefully I'll manage to make that go away anyway [02:27] booting kubuntu now, will take a while to build stuff etc. === allmanj is still confused by dapper and prebaseconfig.d [02:52] http://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/cjwatson <- excellent, ubiquity commits [02:53] i'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] the script creates a directory for a user created earlier and copies a file from the cd into it [02:53] but it doesn't appear to be run... [02:53] what's the script name? [02:54] 01ssh_keys? [02:54] should 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? [02:55] oh, hang on, you're creating the script with a late_command? [02:55] yes? [02:55] i need it to be run after the user has been created... [02:55] allmanj: 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 execute [02:55] late_command being run from a prebaseconfig script itself [02:56] ... oh. d'oh! [02:56] thanks [02:56] allmanj: you'll need to set the number appropriately [02:56] allmanj: I suggest 07 rather than 01 [02:56] user-setup is run at 06 [02:57] ah groovy - much thanks. That definitely would have got me! [02:57] sometimes I really wish I could update the dapper installer in non-trivial ways :) gets very confusing [02:57] but then I consider the pain that would cause, in turn ... [02:58] aye. it's just a shame that just about all of the documentation is for edgy [03:00] there's the installation-guide package in dapper? [03:00] installation-guide-i386 [03:00] sorry if I've mentioned it to you before [03:00] it does have a few errors though - mentions base-config and such === neutrinomass [n=pandis@ppp128-80.adsl.forthnet.gr] has left #ubuntu-installer [] [03:02] Riddell: "pyuic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.7)" [03:11] that did the job there anyway - thanks a mil [03:12] good [03:15] cjwatson: what says that? [03:15] it may help to do: cp -r /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/ /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/uic [03:15] cjwatson: you don't need to copmile the .ui file any more, it does that at run time [03:15] compile === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-installer [03:23] Riddell: kdepyuic; you left that call in debian/rules [03:40] Hi all [03:41] When 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] could you please give more detail, e.g. exact error messages? [03:42] unmoutable device ... kernel panic after reboot [03:42] and my grub conf is ok [03:42] check that the initramfs is being generated for the correct kernel flavour [03:42] #ubuntu-kernel will probably be better at this [03:42] oki thanks [03:43] mind you, you shouldn't be installing linux-image-server in the %packages section in kickstart [03:44] 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 better [03:44] if you installed it in pkgsel it's entirely possible that the initramfs just wasn't generated [03:45] cjwatson: I've not been making .debs out of it, only running it manually [03:47] my normal testing method is to use debuild to build a package; makes sure it keeps working ... [05:14] packaging updated [05:14] note I just did some packaging work on my side too [05:14] to make desktop, pixmaps, po subdirs be built even if UBIQUITY_NO_GTK=1 [05:33] how to install kernel image server with kickstart please ? [05:34] i install generic, but i cannot install server, how to install this please ? [05:48] 14:44 < 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 better [05:48] requires edgy [05:48] oh, no, I tell a lie [05:48] I implemented base-installer/kernel/override-image in dapper [05:49] so just put the above in the main section of your kickstart file [05:57] Riddell: do we still need to build-dep on python-kde3-dev? [05:57] since kdepyuic isn't called in the build process any more [05:59] cjwatson: no [06:00] excellent === jerom1 [n=jeromeb@LSt-Amand-152-32-6-178.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === jerom1 [n=jeromeb@LSt-Amand-152-32-6-178.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:14] cjwatson> thanks i test tomorrow, bye === jerom1 [n=jeromeb@LSt-Amand-152-32-6-178.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === stgraber [i=stgraber@unaffiliated/stgraber] has joined #ubuntu-installer [08:44] hi === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === d1gital [n=admin@pool-71-240-24-140.pitt.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer === d1gital [n=admin@pool-71-240-24-140.pitt.east.verizon.net] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === cjwatson [n=cjwatson@82-69-40-219.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer === zakame [n=zakame@ubuntu/member/zakame] has joined #ubuntu-installer
