tepsipakki | cjwatson, evand: I noticed that if universe/multiverse are enabled, the generated sources.list does not contain an -updates entry for them | 12:10 |
---|---|---|
tepsipakki | I'll make a patch for apt-setup to fix that | 12:10 |
cjwatson | tepsipakki: I noticed the discussion in #ubuntu-devel and already fixed it in my tree | 12:13 |
cjwatson | tepsipakki: did you file a bug? | 12:13 |
tepsipakki | cjwatson: heh, no :) | 12:13 |
tepsipakki | thanks | 12:13 |
cjwatson | ok, sorry, beat you to it then ;) | 12:13 |
cjwatson | (will leave it to you next time) | 12:14 |
tepsipakki | haha | 12:14 |
tepsipakki | the result is what matters ;) | 12:14 |
glledo | uops, I've got ubiquity to install with partman-crypto, but obviously doesn't boot :P | 02:21 |
cjwatson | if it needs to install tools not in the live filesystem then you need to make sure they're at least in the apt archive on the CD | 02:26 |
glledo | Im checking that now | 02:28 |
glledo | I think dmsetup is removed at the end of the installation, for instance | 02:29 |
cjwatson | quite possible unless something apt-installs it | 02:30 |
cjwatson | (apt-install is a d-i command to have packages installed in the target system; in ubiquity, there's a shim to have it arrange to keep packages from the live filesystem installed even if they aren't in desktop, or install them if they weren't in the live filesystem) | 02:31 |
glledo | anyway, ill try now to chroot to the system, install the needed stuff and see if it can boot | 02:31 |
glledo | ok, thanks for the info | 02:32 |

tepsipakki | hmm, gutsy install fails with gnupg-doc claiming "can't read doc-base file 'gnu-privacy-handbook'" | 03:39 |
cjwatson | silly gnupg-doc. | 03:40 |
=== avoine [n=avoine@69.70.0.36] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
tepsipakki | so there's a bug in gnupg-doc postinst? | 03:59 |
tepsipakki | or in doc-base | 04:04 |
cjwatson | sounds like it, but haven't looked | 04:05 |
tepsipakki | yep, debian bug 425351 | 04:06 |
tepsipakki | seems like the files should generally have full paths now | 04:08 |
tepsipakki | mind if I upload a new version? | 04:14 |
tepsipakki | doesn't seem like it's going to be fixed in debian anytime soon :) | 04:15 |
tepsipakki | uploaded | 04:21 |

cr3 | when making build_monolithic in the gutsy debian installer, I get a bunch of missing *-modules packages | 04:42 |
cjwatson | if you're building against any set of kernel images other than gutsy, that's expected | 04:52 |
cjwatson | the kernel udebs get rearranged every so often and I can only track whatever's current | 04:52 |
cr3 | cjwatson: I'm building against 2.6.22-9-generic | 04:56 |
cr3 | cjwatson: I suspect this is the directory where the packages should be retrieved from and *-modules aren't there: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/ | 04:57 |
cr3 | cjwatson: evand mentionned that the *-modules might've been replaced by fs-core-modules | 04:58 |
cr3 | however, the partman-basicfilesystems package depends on ext2-modules which can't seem to be found anywhere | 04:58 |
cjwatson | Provides | 05:01 |
cjwatson | though you're right, it's not provided by anything right now, that's a bug | 05:01 |
cjwatson | I'll send a patch for the next kernel release | 05:02 |
cr3 | cheers, I'll be using feisty in the meanwhile which has the same problem but which I hopefully fixed by creating my own partman-basicfilesystems udeb which depends on fs-core-modules | 05:06 |
cjwatson | should be fine | 05:07 |
cjwatson | rescue-mode too if monolithic uses that | 05:07 |
cjwatson | (this is just one of the many reasons I recommend against monolithic though | 05:07 |
cjwatson | ) | 05:07 |
cr3 | you'll now have to modulo fabbione and me on monolithic :) | 05:16 |
cjwatson | anyway https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2007-August/001617.html should fix it when it gets applied | 05:17 |
cjwatson | but only for filesystem modules; if there's anything else that's breaking then maybe d-i needs to be fixed | 05:17 |
=== superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has left #ubuntu-installer ["Leaving"] | ||
cr3 | that's weird, I just modified the preseed file of the installer and now I'm getting 'cdrom-detect' failed. maybe a faulty burn | 06:36 |
cr3 | yep, faulty burn. hate it when that happens :( | 06:40 |
cr3 | I'm getting "No root file system is defined" for feisty even though I have this line in my preseed: d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select All files in one partition (recommended for new users) | 06:46 |
cr3 | might a potential reason be that I don't have the right modules to format the partition since I removed partman-ext* packages to install fs-core-modules instead? | 06:47 |
cr3 | hm, I removed preseeding of the partitioning and manually selecting "All files in one partition" worked. something seems to be wrong with the preseed on feisty | 07:09 |

evand | argh | 08:51 |
evand | Disabiling m-a for the time being when using --automatic wont work as m-a mucks with FilteredCommand.cleanup() and that doesn't work with the graceful page skipping code. | 08:53 |
evand | I'll start working on fixing m-a in a bit. I want to finish that Vietnamese bug first. | 08:53 |
cr3 | evand: do you happen to run debian-installer against gutsy repositories sometimes? | 09:24 |
evand | cr3: what do you mean? I use the Gutsy alternate CD images often. | 09:24 |
evand | which is d-i | 09:24 |
cr3 | evand: heh, nevermind, I'm confused in my own little world :) | 09:33 |
evand | haha | 09:34 |
cr3 | turns out I was encountering problems building the install initrd.gz and vmlinuz because of the corruption in the gutsy repository | 09:34 |
cr3 | but the problem was that my apt-cacher was corrupted | 09:34 |
cr3 | I suspect the problem might be that the operations of apt-cacher aren't atomic so interrupting the process corrupts the cache | 09:35 |
cr3 | instead of wgeting directly to the cache, it might be safer to wget in a temporary directory and the mv to the cache | 09:36 |
evand | hrm | 09:36 |
cr3 | I should contribute to the project just to get back into perl after a few years of deprivity | 09:36 |
cr3 | developing against gutsy is a pain :( | 09:41 |
evand | nah, you just have to dogfood it. | 09:44 |
cr3 | fucking hell, the repository is consistently broken | 09:45 |
cr3 | ... and I don't have the bandwidth to make my own non-broken repository. this is insane, I'll have to work over the weekend | 09:46 |
evand | yikes | 09:53 |
cr3 | W: http://192.168.2.60/apt-cacher?/ubuntu-archive/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz was corrupt | 09:55 |
cr3 | and, a few minutes ago, the problem was with universe. so if it's not one archive, it's another. I'm reverting to feisty in the hope I'll get some work done | 09:57 |
cr3 | and in the hope the intel xorg driver and mesa library backports are sufficiently stable | 09:57 |
=== cr3 apologizes for this venting | ||
evand | no worries, it's amusing :) | 09:58 |
cr3 | evand: heh, makes me feel better there's a positive side to it :) thanks | 10:00 |
cr3 | evand: I'm actually running the build process for gutsy in parallel and I'm being amused myself at the different parts of the repository that spontaneously fail :) | 10:01 |
evand | heh | 10:01 |
