| neutrinomass | bug 78225 - how can this happen ? | 04:12 |
|---|---|---|
| neutrinomass | (http://launchpad.net/bugs/78225 , an "installer crashed" that looks just like a dupe of 47046) | 04:13 |
| === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| cjwatson | neutrinomass: looking | 04:44 |
| cjwatson | neutrinomass: "I also have to change the validation.py file to be able to create | 04:45 |
| cjwatson | the root partition." | 04:45 |
| cjwatson | so who knows what he broke | 04:45 |
| tepsipakki | blah, it took a while to figure out how to install a udeb from a file.. turns out that udpkg -i $file is the easiest way :) | 04:45 |
| tepsipakki | oh, localudebs | 04:46 |
| cjwatson | neutrinomass: yep, dup of 47046 | 04:47 |
| neutrinomass | cjwatson: ahh, I missed that - thanks a lot | 04:53 |
| cjwatson | we'll be doing a CD image with ubiquity 1.2.6 soon, to get folks to test that fix | 04:55 |
| cjwatson | (67130) | 04:55 |
| cjwatson | which should hopefully lead to less in the way of custom nobbling | 04:56 |
| neutrinomass | cool.... btw, I couldn't install feisty and a number of people can't for similar reasons (my bug was 78080) - is there any simple workaround to that ? | 04:58 |
| tepsipakki | bah, udpkg configures the udeb immediately and doesn't pay attention to XB-Installer-Menu-Item | 05:11 |
| cjwatson | neutrinomass: I'll try to look at that this afternoon | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: udpkg --unpack | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | -i => --unpack + --configure | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | you will have trouble unpacking a udeb that contains templates, though, unfortunately | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | more later, on the phone | 05:21 |
| neutrinomass | cjwatson: Again, thanks a lot | 05:25 |

| tepsipakki | cjwatson: ok, thanks. I'll try to figure that out tomorrow | 08:41 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: so the problem with udpkg -i and udebs containing templates is that at present there's no (working) mechanism for udpkg to inform the running debconf instance of tty1 about the new templates | 08:59 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: you can deal with that in a few ways | 08:59 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: one I often use is to edit some postinst that I know is going to run soon, and put the udpkg command in that rather than running it directly | 08:59 |
| cjwatson | s/of tty1/on tty1/ | 08:59 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: alternatively, you can unpack it into the initrd if that's appropriate, or go to the effort of munging the Packages files on the installation medium, etc. | 09:00 |
| tepsipakki | eww | 09:03 |
| tepsipakki | good to have options :) | 09:05 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it's all nasty | 09:09 |
| cjwatson | long-term plan is to fix this with Tollef's cdebconf unix socket work | 09:09 |
| tepsipakki | oh, is there a spec somewhere? | 09:16 |
| cjwatson | no | 09:16 |
| === frafu [n=frafu@vodsl-8736.vo.lu] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| cjwatson | it's just something we've tossed around and that I think Tollef has mostly implemented | 09:17 |
| cjwatson | but we've never quite got round to rolling it out properly | 09:17 |
| cjwatson | we'll probably do it once the floodgates open in Debian after etch | 09:17 |
| tepsipakki | nice | 09:30 |
