Spo8Hi, is this the right place to ask an installation question?08:23

cjwatson... sure, it would be if you didn't leave two minutes after asking whether you could ask09:53

CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1865 ubiquity/ (3 files in 2 dirs):12:41
CIA-4ubiquity: * Try harder to stop the new partitioner interfering with autopartitioning12:41
CIA-4ubiquity:  (LP: #84597).12:41
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1866 ubiquity/ (configure configure.ac): bump to 1.3.2101:45
thomcjwatson: partman-auto-md is in main for fiesty, i presume?01:46
cjwatsonpartman-auto-raid |          3 | feisty/universe/debian-installer | all01:46
cjwatsonsorry, no01:46
thomber :(01:47
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1867 ubiquity/ubiquity/components/partman.py: even more effective protection against new partitioner interfering with autopartitioning01:55
=== cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-installer
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1868 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/partman.py): * Ignore parted exceptions presented with priority medium or below.02:04
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1869 ubiquity/debian/changelog: reorganise changelog02:05
evandyikes, the latest reply to the m-a thread on -devel is not what I wanted to wake up to this morning.02:13
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r1870 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.3.2102:16
cjwatsonevand: I suspect it isn't your problem though02:17
evandcjwatson: I think he's not dual-booting.02:17
evandI replied and asked him a few questions.02:17
evandis that the conclusion you came to?02:17
cjwatsonoh, you think he erased the disk?02:17
cjwatsonI haven't really read it, just scanned it while moderating ubuntu-devel ...02:17
=== cjwatson goes to read it now
evandpossibly.  I can't see it not even showing the partitions at all.02:18
evandUnless they're marked to be formatted.02:18
evandthough the crash is obviously of concern02:19
evandI think I'm going to start making liberal use of log-output for the time being, just to make debugging easier.02:19
evanderr, just use more verbose output02:20
cjwatsonyeah, it's kind of unclear02:21
cjwatsonmore logging is always helpful02:21
cjwatsonalso, if he uses ubiquity --debug, that should get a debconf trace02:21
cjwatson(/var/log/installer/debug)02:21
cjwatsondid you mention that in your followup? I don't see it yet02:22
evandah, I followed up off list.  I asked him to run it with debug, attach that file, run os-prober, and run grep migration-assistant /var/log/messages02:22
cjwatsonhmm, I'd generally suggest just getting people to attach whole files02:24
cjwatsonI find it more reliable (bug reporters don't always follow instructions to the letter) and sometimes necessary02:25
evandok.  At the time I figured /var/log/messages might be a bit large.02:25
evandBut I shall do that in the future02:25
cjwatsonI've never used /var/log/messages for this - /var/log/installer/debug (--debug mode), /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman02:25
cjwatson/var/log/messages looks to provide roughly the same information as /var/log/syslog, so fair enough02:26
evandah02:36
saispohi all04:18
evandhello04:18
saispocjwatson: i solve my problem, all work fine now with a local repository, all my personnal metapackages install and work :)04:19
saisponow i do cosmetic art ;-)04:19
saispocjwatson: how i can i change at login "Ubuntu 6.10 ubuntu tty1" to other things ?04:20
cjwatsonbase-files04:20
saispook, must recompile it ? :/04:20
cjwatsondefault hostname (the lower-case "ubuntu") is netcfg/get_hostname04:20
saispook04:20
saispothks04:20
saispocjwatson: when all done, i will make patch and send you if you want04:20
saispoand write some docs about that...04:21
saispothe next big work for me, it's for partitioning and the detection of the first disk...04:21
cjwatsondoesn't sound like the patch would be applicable04:21
saispoi think i must backport partman no ?04:21
cjwatsonpartman-auto04:22
saispocjwatson: it's for the project i work04:22
saispoi don't think ubuntu needed it :/04:22
cjwatsonyou can extract the individual patches using bzr from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/partman-auto/ubuntu04:22
saispoyep and rebuild the udeb ?04:22
cjwatsonright, what I mean is there's no point sending me a patch for branding for a derivative distribution04:22
cjwatsonyes04:22
saispook, thanks cjwatson, will work on this now :)04:23
saispocjwatson: it's possible not to create a user just root ?04:54
cjwatsonsee the preseeding appendix of the installation guide04:55
