=== superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer
yokgibiplease ...12:58
superm1yokgibi, did you have a question?12:59
yokgibiyes01:00
yokgibii had a trouble with feisty installation01:00
yokgibiwhen i trying the install01:00
yokgibiinstaller ask username-password01:01
superm1Right01:01
yokgibiin forums, people said may be 'ubuntu'01:01
yokgibibut i try it and the others01:01
yokgibire-download iso01:01
yokgibithen retry, no result01:01
yokgibimay you help me ?01:02
yokgibisorry for bad english01:02
superm1well you haven't said your question yet :)01:03
superm1you make it to the installer username/password and what happened?01:04
btmI think he is getting a login prompt at some point and doesn't understand what to enter.01:04
yokgibiyes01:04
yokgibibefore, i install feisty succesfully01:05
yokgibibut now, when i try install, like btm said, a prompt seen01:06
yokgibiand i don't know about username/password01:06
superm1well those are normal questions01:09
yokgibiresult ?01:09
superm1you choose a username and password to use for the install01:09
yokgibihow ?01:09
yokgibii burn iso to cd directly01:10
yokgibihow i choose in this process01:10
yokgibihow i choose username/password in this process01:10
superm1well what'ever you would like to use01:11
superm1they are just for personalizing the install01:11
yokgibii want to be personalize ubuntu, not ubuntu installation01:12
yokgibiwhatever, so how i set username / password for installation01:13
superm1in the installer it asks you for both, you just type them in and hit "next"01:15
yokgibi:)01:15
yokgibiit ask username / password before starting install script01:16
yokgibibefore boot livecd01:16
superm1before booting?  Then that is somethign in your client os01:16
yokgibiboot from cd, choose 'Start or Install Ubuntu', wait sometime and login prompt :)01:17
superm1okay that's making more sense here with your issue then -01:17
superm1try to choose safe graphics mode01:17
yokgibii tried01:17
yokgibinot work01:18
yokgibiit start with terminal directly01:18
superm1sounds as though its having trouble booting up to X then.  Not exactly an installer problem then -01:19
yokgibiin the tty1, it said : User not known to the underlying authentication module01:20
yokgibii guess, cd may be corrupt, re-download iso01:21
yokgibiburn it again01:21
yokgibiand same as before01:21
yokgibibo result01:21
superm1you can check the cd consistency in that menu01:21
yokgibiyes01:21
yokgibiin the first downloaded cd, there are 30 errors, re-downloaded cd 28 error01:22
yokgibibut i'm installed 3 months ago with this cd01:23
btmyokgibi: you may want to burn at a slower speed and see if you can get a good cd. Or your cdrom could have problems and you may want to try on another machine.01:23
superm1well having anything >= 1 will likely cause troubles01:23
superm1you can consider cleaning that cdrom drive01:24
superm1with some isopropyl alchohol or something similar01:24
yokgibii ll try both solutions01:24
yokgibithanks for alla01:24
yokgibiall01:24

metaxyy__fwIs this an inappropriate venue to ask a question that's not directly dev-related, but addresses a behavior of the installer so obscure that probably only you guys would know?09:24

btmwhat package decides the /dev entry used by a block device? is it the kernel/module or udev?11:01
cjwatsonbtm: the kernel nominates defaults, but udev rules can (and often do) override them. Most udev rules are provided by udev, but some are provided by other packages.11:15
btmi'm trying to track down a bug where certain sd devices are coming up as eth devices in /dev in the feisty installer but work fine in feisty installed. I think I'm missing where that decision is made as I don't see anything relevant in /etc/udev/rules.d11:24
cjwatson*eth* devices?11:25
cjwatsonyou mean like eth0? that's impossible, they don't have device node11:25
cjwatsons11:25
cjwatsonanyway, if there's nothing applicable in /etc/udev/rules.d, then the kernel default is used11:26
btmHaha. Well, I agree it's absurd, but the disks all show up in /dev/disk/by-id and they're all linked to /dev/eth2. Of course there shouldn't be a eth nodes in /dev, but somehow that's what it's getting named.11:27
btmNote that these are 3ware 9650se disks, and I don't see this issue on the 3ware 9550's.11:28
cjwatsonudevinfo may help11:29
cjwatsone.g. udevinfo -n /dev/eth211:30
cjwatsoner11:30
cjwatsonudevinfo -q all -n /dev/eth211:30
cjwatsonshould be possible to use that to trace through udev rules by hand to figure out where it's coming from11:30
cjwatson(I would say it's pretty unlikely to be an installer bug as such though, even if it's biting the installer)11:31
btmright. (lp 127404). I don't know where the issue is, so I'll track it down myself. thanks for the hint.11:32
cjwatsongood luck ...11:39
cjwatsonI've dumped it onto udev for now11:40
