[04:13] (http://launchpad.net/bugs/78225 , an "installer crashed" that looks just like a dupe of 47046) === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-installer [04:44] neutrinomass: looking [04:45] neutrinomass: "I also have to change the validation.py file to be able to create [04:45] the root partition." [04:45] so who knows what he broke [04:45] 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 :) [04:46] oh, localudebs [04:47] neutrinomass: yep, dup of 47046 [04:53] cjwatson: ahh, I missed that - thanks a lot [04:55] we'll be doing a CD image with ubiquity 1.2.6 soon, to get folks to test that fix [04:55] (67130) [04:56] which should hopefully lead to less in the way of custom nobbling [04:58] 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 ? [05:11] bah, udpkg configures the udeb immediately and doesn't pay attention to XB-Installer-Menu-Item [05:21] neutrinomass: I'll try to look at that this afternoon [05:21] tepsipakki: udpkg --unpack [05:21] -i => --unpack + --configure [05:21] you will have trouble unpacking a udeb that contains templates, though, unfortunately [05:21] more later, on the phone [05:25] cjwatson: Again, thanks a lot === neutrinomass [n=pandis@ppp128-80.adsl.forthnet.gr] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-installer === avoine [n=avoine@modemcable068.14-82-70.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-installer === mpt [n=mpt@121-72-135-240.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer [08:41] cjwatson: ok, thanks. I'll try to figure that out tomorrow [08:59] 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] tepsipakki: you can deal with that in a few ways [08:59] 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] s/of tty1/on tty1/ [09:00] 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. [09:03] eww [09:05] good to have options :) [09:09] yeah, it's all nasty [09:09] long-term plan is to fix this with Tollef's cdebconf unix socket work [09:16] oh, is there a spec somewhere? [09:16] no === frafu [n=frafu@vodsl-8736.vo.lu] has joined #ubuntu-installer [09:17] it's just something we've tossed around and that I think Tollef has mostly implemented [09:17] but we've never quite got round to rolling it out properly [09:17] we'll probably do it once the floodgates open in Debian after etch [09:30] nice
