| tepsipakki | cjwatson_: I've done the syslinux merge, can I upload it? | 10:00 |
| cjwatson_ | does it work? have you tested gfxboot? | 10:03 |
| cjwatson_ | that's the hard bit :) | 10:03 |
| tepsipakki | ah, right | 10:04 |
| tepsipakki | I need to build it on gutsy first | 10:04 |
| tepsipakki | build-deps on gcc-multilib | 10:04 |
| tepsipakki | which is not in feisty | 10:04 |
| tepsipakki | cjwatson: how do I test gfxboot? I merged 3.31 in December and at least it compiled fine :) | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | doko also merged it way back but gfxboot doesn't work | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | didn't | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/gfxboot-test.tar.gz is the hacked-up thing I use to test | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | it's, er, kind of customised for me ;-), but hopefully it should be obvious how to beat the Makefile into submission | 10:08 |
| tepsipakki | okay.. I'll try that, and look for updated patches from suse | 10:08 |
| cjwatson | needs gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, mkisofs, and qemu | 10:08 |
| tepsipakki | ..if they are publicly available | 10:09 |
| cjwatson | (if gfxboot can't be made to work, it's more important that it continues to work than that syslinux is merged) | 10:09 |
| tepsipakki | yeah, I understand | 10:09 |
| tepsipakki | 3.30 brought graphical menus :) | 10:10 |
| tepsipakki | actually I'm using it for our netboot | 10:10 |
| cjwatson | quite different graphical menus AFAIK? | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | I remember looking at them and I don't think they delivered what we're using gfxboot for | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | couldn't do the language/keymap menus etc. | 10:14 |
| tepsipakki | ah, it's for netboot only afaik | 10:17 |
| cjwatson | really? that seems odd | 10:17 |
| === cjwatson tries to upgrade enough of his system to gutsy to be able to build d-i | ||
| tepsipakki | pxeboot menus | 10:18 |
| tepsipakki | I mean, you just need to edit the pxeboot-file somewhat to have a basic menu. The graphical bit is only a backround image :) | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | sure, just seems odd not to support that in isolinux too | 10:19 |
| tepsipakki | sorry being vague, it's nothing like gfxboot | 10:19 |
| cjwatson | I know, but what I mean is that for people using the upstream syslinux menu system you'd think they'd want it for CDs as well | 10:19 |
| tepsipakki | yep | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | I don't think gfxboot has ever got round to supporting pxelinux :) | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | (conversely) | 10:20 |
| tepsipakki | heh, that would be nice | 10:20 |
| tepsipakki | I'd like it to support better authentication, but it's impossible from what I hear | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | what, pxelinux? | 10:20 |
| tepsipakki | yep | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | I don't know a lot about it, I must admit | 10:20 |
| tepsipakki | now it has a password protection | 10:21 |
| tepsipakki | -a | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | it's one of the pieces I sort of hope works and otherwise leave the hell alone | 10:21 |
| tepsipakki | hehe | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | you're more than welcome to maintain it :) | 10:21 |
| tepsipakki | I use it exclusively, so it does indeed work | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | let me know if any SuSE changes to gfxboot need theme changes | 10:22 |
| tepsipakki | syslinux?-) | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | as long as it's not like "rewrite theme, kthxbye", I'm happy to accommodate | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | well, the syslinux part of gfxboot | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | that's just hooks I guess | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | but I could conceive that it might need a newer gfxboot interpreter as well | 10:23 |
| tepsipakki | I'll take a look at the suse package if there are changes | 10:24 |
| tepsipakki | promising.. opensuse 10.2 has syslinux-3.31 | 10:48 |

| tepsipakki | cjwatson: ok, syslinux tested.. I get a xubuntu image in it but no menu.. | 02:11 |
| tepsipakki | so I guess it's broken | 02:15 |
| tepsipakki | hmm, it looks the same as with feisty (and syslinux 3.11) | 02:19 |

| saispo | cjwatson: it's possible to preseed in the partition scheme, the quota and acl extensions on ext3 ? | 02:33 |
| tepsipakki | cjwatson: hey, I got it to work :) | 02:45 |
| tepsipakki | cjwatson: it only lacked the theme, duh | 02:45 |

| cjwatson | saispo: you mean usrquota/grpquota and user_xattr? | 03:34 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: excellent, thanks | 03:34 |
| saispo | cjwatson: yes | 03:36 |
| cjwatson | saispo: I think you can put something like options/usrquota{ usrquota } options/grpquota{ grpquota } options/user_xattr{ user_xattr } in your recipe for the relevant partition | 03:41 |
| cjwatson | saispo: but that's just from code inspection and I've never tried it | 03:41 |
| cjwatson | caveat emptor | 03:41 |
| saispo | ok cjwatson thanks, i will try and say it to you :) | 03:42 |

| tepsipakki | cjwatson: the SuSE changelog says that your localboot and cpio-swab changes have been applied, but not 1:1. Should I just drop the remaining diff (now they are in patches, easy to leave there) | 04:15 |
| cjwatson | I think I looked at those and they were close enough | 04:16 |
| tepsipakki | ok, cool | 04:16 |
| cjwatson | but you might want to double-check | 04:16 |
| tepsipakki | I don't understand x86 assy that well :) | 04:16 |
| tepsipakki | maybe I'll put the debdiff somewhere for a review anyway | 04:17 |
| cjwatson | mine is distinctly rusty | 04:17 |
| cjwatson | took quite a while to come up with those changes | 04:17 |
| tepsipakki | I bet | 04:20 |

| tepsipakki | cjwatson: I see some malloc messages before the gfxboot menu is displayed (too fast to grab them), something to worry about | 04:29 |
| tepsipakki | ? | 04:29 |
| saispo | cjwatson: all work fine :) big thanks ! | 04:29 |
| cjwatson | tepsipakki: not sure ... | 04:30 |
| cjwatson | saispo: great | 04:30 |
| tepsipakki | hum, is there a way to make qemu slower | 04:31 |
| tepsipakki | acceleration is not used | 04:31 |
| === blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| tepsipakki | ok, I got the message.. "Initializing gfx code... \n static memory: 0x40020 - 0x9fc00 \n malloc 0: 0x56610 - 0x9fc00 \n malloc 1: 0x800000 - 0x900000 \n malloc 2: 0xa00000 - 0xb00000" | 04:41 |
| tepsipakki | but I'll look at it later -> | 04:41 |
| cjwatson | oh, I think that's deliberate debugging output | 04:44 |
| cjwatson | it's output by gfxboot, not syslinux, so can't be due to your changes | 04:45 |
| cjwatson | sigh, how predictable, a d-i build failure | 05:04 |
| thom | cjwatson: have you used digress much? are there any caveats or alternatives before i dive in? | 05:09 |
