Replace --migration-assistant [01:01] ubiquity: option with --no-migration-assistant.

[02:58] I'd be more than happy to install protection against the ENOSPC class of bugs for Feisty [02:59] ok, I should have time to play around with that this weekend [02:59] cool [02:59] adding the check itself in scripts/install.py would be trivial; the reason I haven't done it is that I also wanted to track down why some of the ENOSPC bugs were happening, because some of them seem to be due to bogus application of partitioning [02:59] (e.g. /boot being mounted under / rather than over it) [03:02] ah [03:03] ENOSPC covers the no space left on the device bugs, but what about the read only filesytem ones where syslog shows signs of a bad drive. Can we handle those as well? [03:05] we do ... [03:05] Really? Are the bugs I'm seeing just in Edgy then? [03:06] unless it manifests as IOError (in which case you need feisty to detect that) or unless the first thing to hit EROFS is a subsidiary script rather than something in ubiquity itself [03:06] ah [03:16] whoa, I just saw that commit message === evand puts on helmet, awaits the massive flood of bug reports [03:25] ubiquity: cjwatson * r1905 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.3.23 [03:26] evand: Mithrandir asked me to either turn it on by default or defer it for feisty [03:26] evand: guess I should have talked to you first though :-) [03:32] no, it's a-ok [03:32] I figured it'd be coming up [03:33] I'll be getting 0.4.1 out today or tomorrow in response though :-) === pkt_ [n=pantelis@athedsl-94078.otenet.gr] has joined #ubuntu-installer === secureboot_ [n=lstclair@coriakin.cse.psu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-installer === secureboot [n=lstclair@coriakin.cse.psu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-installer [07:34] i'm working on a partman recipe for ubuntu... [07:36] http://pastebin.ca/375918 [07:36] i get that i don't have enough room for something... [07:36] i wanted a 1G /boot, 2.5G /, and the rest unused [07:38] please don't paraphrase error messages; what exact error do you get? [07:38] the reason why you should never paraphrase error messages is that it prevents developers from searching for them in order to find a starting point for investigating your problem [07:38] yeah - i was waiting to get it again - one sec [07:39] you need a . at the end of that recipe or it won't work properly [07:40] can't have a parition outside the disk [07:40] the . terminates partitions, it doesn't separate them [07:40] assuming that adding . doesn't fix it, does your disk have an HPA (host protected area)? [07:41] yeah, i missed the last . when i copied [07:41] cjwatson: i don't know what that is, unfortunately - they're very standard scsi disks, however, with no special stuff [07:42] HPA isn't all that special these days [07:42] SATA? [07:42] or real SCSI? [07:42] the next error screen said that the error was probably because I had too many primary partiions, which doesn't seem true [07:42] cjwatson: SATA, actually [07:42] ok, kyle's recent work might sort it out then, in theory [07:43] but if I'm to investigate it properly, I'd need a bug report on partman-auto with syslog and partman attached [07:43] ideally, run the install with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 [07:43] (on the kernel command line) [07:44] cjwatson: but in general, the recipe looks reasonable? [07:44] other than having /boot be 90-200M instead of 900-2000M? [07:44] i had a recipe before that actually did work [07:45] namely, the example in https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt [07:51] secureboot: I think it's OK [07:51] though ironically I don't actually use preseeding myself much :-) [07:51] cjwatson: okay - i looked over it pretty carefully and read http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt pretty carefully [07:52] cjwatson: ha, too bad - i've found it to be really handy [07:52] yeah, that's canonical [07:52] oh, I'm sure I'd use it if I needed to deploy lots of machines :) [07:52] too much of my time gets sucked into ubiquity [07:57] I'll cross my fingers and say I'll have more time to contribute to areas in it outside of the m-a code for the next release. [07:57] you'd be very welcome [07:58] since I've started managing a team within Canonical, my hacking time in general has been reduced === cjwatson -> dinner [07:58] speaking of Feisty+1, where is UDS this time? [07:58] Seville, Spain [07:58] ah [07:59] I'm surprised it's not on the wiki. [07:59] it's still in the planning stages I think [07:59] ah, then that'd make more sense [08:00] I remembered them mentioning Spain at Mountain View, but I couldn't recall exactly where. [08:00] Hrm, I need to work on getting my passport and whatnot in order as that's quickly creeping up. [08:06] cjwatson: Congratulations on the promotion, by the way. [09:32] thanks [09:32] it's a mixed blessing in some ways ;-) === philwyett [n=philwyet@bb-87-81-146-45.ukonline.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer === chrisj [n=tortoise@82.152.245.136] has joined #ubuntu-installer === mpt [n=mpt@121-72-128-237.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer === stgraber [n=stgraber@client80-83-51-125.abo.net2000.ch] has joined #ubuntu-installer === mpt_ [n=mpt@121-72-128-237.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer
