| Boxxertrumps | i have ubuntu finally! | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Boxxertrumps | but for some reason it goes to cmd line with batch commands... | 01:24 |
| Boxxertrumps | any ideas? | 01:26 |
| cjwatson | that means it failed to install the desktop environment for some reason; get /var/log/installer/syslog to me in a bug report (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug) and I may be able to help | 01:33 |
| === cjwatson -> bed | ||
| cjwatson | (or on second thoughts, maybe paste.ubuntu-nl.org it or something ...) | 01:33 |
| Boxxertrumps | no var/log in ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| cjwatson | sure is | 01:34 |
| cjwatson | starts with a / though | 01:34 |
| Boxxertrumps | nothing there | 01:34 |
| Boxxertrumps | onesec, ill get screenshot... | 01:34 |
| cjwatson | you have about two minutes until my wife drags me away :) | 01:35 |
| Boxxertrumps | http://boxxer.mooo.com/ubuntu.jpg | 01:38 |
| cjwatson | um, you used the Windows-based installer or something? | 01:38 |
| Boxxertrumps | i tired toi look at the .img files with bbnote, if your wondering about the icons | 01:38 |
| Boxxertrumps | yes, i used the windows based one | 01:38 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry, I have no involvement with that and can't support it | 01:39 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure whom to contact, but perhaps they provide an e-mail address | 01:39 |
| cjwatson | as far as I know the developers don't hang out here | 01:39 |
| Boxxertrumps | oh... mkay | 01:39 |
| cjwatson | .img files are probably disk images and you'd need to mount them somehow to get at log files | 01:39 |
| Boxxertrumps | thanks, ill look for another channel | 01:39 |
| cjwatson | best of luck | 01:40 |
| cjwatson | FWIW, the official installers we support are on the CD images on releases.ubuntu.com | 01:40 |
| cjwatson | those ones I can help with, although not now - aforementioned being dragged off :) | 01:40 |
| Boxxertrumps | seeya | 01:41 |

| cr3 | what does the following line mean for the partman-auto/expert_recipe string: 40 50 100 ext3 | 03:25 |
| cjwatson | minimum size 40 MB, maximum size 100 MB, priority 50 MB (that's used to determine relative sizes to allocate if more space is available), use ext3 | 03:53 |
| cjwatson | see doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt in the debian-installer source package for a complete specification | 03:53 |
| === secureboot_ [n=lstclair@coriakin.cse.psu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| secureboot_ | looks like i have to change the kernel image on the ubuntu install cd (server or alternate) | 03:57 |
| secureboot_ | http://dsplabs.utt.ro/~juve/blog/index.cgi/01147559232 is what i've found | 03:58 |
| secureboot_ | except i dont' see linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6 anywhere | 03:58 |
| secureboot_ | is there some equivalent or replacement? | 03:58 |
| cjwatson | our kernel package does that directly | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | if you start with our kernel package and use the regular Debian-style build system then you'll get both debs and udebs out the other end (eventually) | 04:05 |
| secureboot_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22999 | 04:11 |
| secureboot_ | that's the best i've found - thanks cjwatson | 04:11 |
| secureboot_ | is it possible to use a totally custom kernel, with no ubuntu patches? like 2.6.20? | 04:11 |
| secureboot_ | i do seem to see a kernel-source that is installable for my custom kernels | 04:12 |
| secureboot_ | my biggest problem is that i dont' see any instructions for how to go from the .debs/.udebs to having a CD that boots, other than netinstall | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | secureboot_: er, maybe, but for obvious reasons I've never tested it :) | 04:42 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: obvious reasons? | 04:42 |
| cjwatson | why would I spend time on non-Ubuntu kernels? | 04:42 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: ah - i figured someone might have needed to build a newer kernel at some point | 04:43 |
| cjwatson | they get to try it themselves :-) | 04:43 |
| cjwatson | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization may help | 04:43 |
| cjwatson | you can set up debian-cd but that's Hard Work | 04:43 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: ah - that's how to take the .deb and .udebs and make a CD, rather than building the monolithic image? | 04:45 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 04:53 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: or can you just copy the udebs and debs over to an extracted cd directory, copy them in, do the regeneration of packages/release/md5sum and boot? | 04:53 |
| cjwatson | that's roughly what InstallCDCustomization describes, only in more detail | 04:54 |
| cjwatson | "that's how to take the .deb and .udebs and make a CD"> that's debian-cd | 04:54 |
| secureboot_ | basically, I'm wondering if i can take the .debs and .udebs from building a kernel, and apply the InstallCDCustomization stuff, which i'm very familiar with at this point, to including those .debs and .udebs somehow | 05:00 |
| secureboot_ | can i just mount/modify the initrd, cp a new vmlinuz in, and boot from that? | 05:16 |
| secureboot_ | how does one mount the initrd? | 05:16 |
| secureboot_ | http://ioctl.org/unix/debian/x4100 doesn't work - it needs a type | 05:16 |
| secureboot_ | ext2 doesn't work, cramfs doesn't work... | 05:18 |
| cjwatson | it's a gzipped cpio archive | 05:42 |
| cjwatson | a.k.a. initramfs | 05:42 |
| cjwatson | zcat /path/to/initrd.gz | cpio -id in an empty directory to extract it, find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9c > /path/to/initrd.gz in a modified copy of that to recreate it | 05:43 |
