[03:48] cjwatson: i think the debootstrap on gutsy have a missing dependancies [03:48] Missing debootstrap-required dmsetup [03:48] CD1 missing some packages needed by debootstrap [03:49] you've misunderstood that error message [03:50] I'll lower the priority of dmsetup to option per http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/jessica.txt, which will fix that [03:50] done [03:51] (wait 40 minutes for the publisher to run) [03:51] ok [03:51] thanks [03:53] s/option/optional/ === avoine [n=avoine@69.70.0.36] has joined #ubuntu-installer === blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-installer === superm1 is now known as superm1_ === xivulon [i=c2325681@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-1b37baedb0f2ac10] has joined #ubuntu-installer [05:12] evand I have m-a kind of working in wubi [05:13] evand, is there any deep reason for you to insist in mounting the device containing the files to be imported? I had a quick hack to skip that if the device is in mtab and it seems ok. [05:15] xivulon: I don't follow. You need to mount the device you're importing from, otherwise how would you get the files? Or are you saying unmount and remounting it? [05:15] cjwatson, I have a problem making suspend/hybernation work with wubi. I played with acpi-settings but did not get too far. Anyone in the know that might be able to help? [05:15] ah, I should've read that full thing :) [05:16] acpi-support [05:16] xivulon: ma-ask and ma-apply would have to be modified to take into account that the mount location isn't /mnt/migrationassistant [05:16] xivulon: mjg59, as a general rule ;-) [05:16] evand, olso in S20microsoft test, you check the fstype [05:17] #ubuntu-kernel, more generally [05:17] cjwatson thx [05:17] xivulon: well, os-prober does, but yes [05:17] oh [05:17] evand in the fstest os-prober skips if it's not fat/ntfs [05:17] I need to have fuse* in there too [05:18] err, it needs to be a bit more specific than that [05:18] fuse could be anything, it needs to check if it's ntfs-3g [05:19] anyway, this is all part of the lupin merge [05:19] I think the check is only to avoid wasting time [05:19] Does not look that there is any harm in running a test on a non windows partition [05:19] partly to try to reduce false positives too [05:20] no direct harm, but you might misdetect [05:20] people put all kinds of weird crap on filesystems :) [05:20] I'll submitt a proper patch in the coming days === evand is a big fan of multiple Windows installations on the same partition. [05:20] sure, it can go upstream easily [05:21] By the way you have any preference for the patches? Is bzr diff ok? [05:22] public branches are nice, but a readable diff works for me. [05:23] agreed [05:23] I prefer branches too [05:23] bzr diff --diff-options=-p is preferable to bzr diff for C code [05:24] cjwatson that is bash [05:24] huh? [05:24] ma-apply [05:24] and os-prober util [05:24] I didn't say it wasn't; I said that *for C code* -p is preferable [05:25] it was an informational comment [05:25] ok thx, any advantage in having -p in bash? [05:26] bzr help diff :) [05:26] err actually [05:26] that doesn't tell you much [05:26] nevermind then [05:26] -p --show-c-function [05:26] Show which C function each change is in. [05:26] guess man diff will do [05:26] so not particularly, no. It might manage to guess shell functions by sheer luck [05:27] I am not on linux machine right now though [05:27] by the way, neither ma-apply nor os-prober is bash; they're sh. The distinction is important [05:27] absolutely [05:27] bash is a particular implementation of sh with a lot of extensions which you cannot use in the installer [05:40] ps evand in my test I have tried to import firefox and ie settings, but only ie settings got actually imported [05:41] curious [05:41] a bookmarks.html file and /var/log/syslog from the install would be helpful there. [05:50] I'll have a look tonight [05:53] thanks === joshk_ [n=joshk@mailout1.vmware.com] has joined #ubuntu-installer [07:45] kickstart/preseed support is only available on desktop CDs, right? [07:50] joshk_: It's only on the alternate CD. Proper preseeding support for the desktop CD is being worked on in this release cycle. [07:51] err to clarify, s/desktop/live/ [08:05] ok, cool [08:05] just checking to make sure i wasn't missing something, because the wiki page doesn't clearly say [08:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility i mean [08:30] not sure kickstart will make it onto the desktop CD though [08:30] would take a lot more work for the desktop CD to be able to support it [08:37] hm, that's cool [08:37] i just had some kickstart-generating code already [09:34] joshk_: I imported kickseed into Debian yesterday ... === xivulon [n=arusso@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer [09:40] evand there are no logs relating to ff import, but I guess that is due to my convoluted set-up [09:41] xivulon: hrmm, it could be my fault. It's possible that I removed the relevent logging information to not flood syslog. [09:41] The bookmarks.html file should be enough. Just take out anything sensitive. [09:51] you mean the windows one? [09:51] it's quite large... [09:52] I think the issue is that my profile sits on a different drive [09:52] oh [09:52] I would not be too concerned about [09:53] that would definitely do it [09:53] it follows non-standard profile paths, just not when they're on something other than C: [09:53] of course [09:53] indeed [09:53] it's just that I have not used windows for so long that I forgot about it [09:54] heh [10:23] is it possible to use a desktop CD as an installation source for netboot? yes, right? [10:24] like, if i remaster the mini.iso with a ubuntu desktop iso in its filesystem [10:24] don't ask why [10:27] joshk_: No, the desktop CD does not contain packages. It installs by copying the RO filesystem to the target filesystem [10:27] aw, crap. === superm1 [i=malimonc@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer [10:35] evand, I was going through and cleaning up the templates in the patch that i'm using for the mythbuntu frontend, but encountered ubiquity/install/summary which we have changed to include more of our specific information. What is the cleanest way to ship ours in the package ubiquity-frontend-mythbuntu and override the one in the package ubiquity? [10:36] I was thinking maybe divert the whole ubiquity.templates in /var/lib/dpkg/info, but then thats a lot of code duplication for all of those templates, especially if you change one [10:37] hrm, that's not a static template either [10:37] right [10:38] i've got an extra script mythbuntu_summary in the scripts/ directory that is called instead to generate it with our information (using the same format that you've already started there) [10:38] there are a number of other areas with similar issues of code duplication (because I couldn't call the parent class), but those could be worked out later. === blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-installer [10:42] superm1: I'm really not sure the best way to approach that. I would think a diversion is your only option, but I could definitely be wrong. You might want to ask cjwatson or someone who knows more debconf tricks than I do. [10:42] well i thought of another dirty trick a few minutes ago.. [10:42] in one of those substitutions [10:42] like ${LANGUAGE} [10:42] I can substitute in *all* of our stuff [10:43] heh [10:43] with a bunch of \n's [10:43] not too sure how nice that would turn out, so I was hoping there was some debconf magic to learn about [10:43] there may very well be, I'm just not aware of it either [10:44] okay i'll keep poking around then. thanks :) [10:45] sorry I couldn't have been of more help.
