tepsipakkicjwatson, evand: I noticed that if universe/multiverse are enabled, the generated sources.list does not contain an -updates entry for them12:10
tepsipakkiI'll make a patch for apt-setup to fix that12:10
cjwatsontepsipakki: I noticed the discussion in #ubuntu-devel and already fixed it in my tree12:13
cjwatsontepsipakki: did you file a bug?12:13
tepsipakkicjwatson: heh, no :)12:13
tepsipakkithanks12:13
cjwatsonok, sorry, beat you to it then ;)12:13
cjwatson(will leave it to you next time)12:14
tepsipakkihaha12:14
tepsipakkithe result is what matters ;)12:14
glledouops, I've got ubiquity to install with partman-crypto, but obviously doesn't boot :P02:21
cjwatsonif 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 CD02:26
glledoIm checking that now02:28
glledoI think dmsetup is removed at the end of the installation, for instance02:29
cjwatsonquite possible unless something apt-installs it02:30
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
glledoanyway, ill try now to chroot to the system, install the needed stuff and see if it can boot02:31
glledook, thanks for the info02:32

tepsipakkihmm, gutsy install fails with gnupg-doc claiming "can't read doc-base file 'gnu-privacy-handbook'"03:39
cjwatsonsilly gnupg-doc.03:40
=== avoine [n=avoine@69.70.0.36] has joined #ubuntu-installer
tepsipakkiso there's a bug in gnupg-doc postinst?03:59
tepsipakkior in doc-base04:04
cjwatsonsounds like it, but haven't looked04:05
tepsipakkiyep, debian bug 42535104:06
tepsipakkiseems like the files should generally have full paths now04:08
tepsipakkimind if I upload a new version?04:14
tepsipakkidoesn't seem like it's going to be fixed in debian anytime soon :)04:15
tepsipakkiuploaded04:21

cr3when making build_monolithic in the gutsy debian installer, I get a bunch of missing *-modules packages04:42
cjwatsonif you're building against any set of kernel images other than gutsy, that's expected04:52
cjwatsonthe kernel udebs get rearranged every so often and I can only track whatever's current04:52
cr3cjwatson: I'm building against 2.6.22-9-generic04:56
cr3cjwatson: 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
cr3cjwatson: evand mentionned that the *-modules might've been replaced by fs-core-modules04:58
cr3however, the partman-basicfilesystems package depends on ext2-modules which can't seem to be found anywhere04:58
cjwatsonProvides05:01
cjwatsonthough you're right, it's not provided by anything right now, that's a bug05:01
cjwatsonI'll send a patch for the next kernel release05:02
cr3cheers, 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-modules05:06
cjwatsonshould be fine05:07
cjwatsonrescue-mode too if monolithic uses that05:07
cjwatson(this is just one of the many reasons I recommend against monolithic though05:07
cjwatson)05:07
cr3you'll now have to modulo fabbione and me on monolithic :)05:16
cjwatsonanyway https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2007-August/001617.html should fix it when it gets applied05:17
cjwatsonbut only for filesystem modules; if there's anything else that's breaking then maybe d-i needs to be fixed05:17
=== superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has left #ubuntu-installer ["Leaving"]
cr3that's weird, I just modified the preseed file of the installer and now I'm getting 'cdrom-detect' failed. maybe a faulty burn06:36
cr3yep, faulty burn. hate it when that happens :(06:40
cr3I'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
cr3might 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
cr3hm, I removed preseeding of the partitioning and manually selecting "All files in one partition" worked. something seems to be wrong with the preseed on feisty07:09

evandargh08:51
evandDisabiling 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
evandI'll start working on fixing m-a in a bit.  I want to finish that Vietnamese bug first.08:53
cr3evand: do you happen to run debian-installer against gutsy repositories sometimes?09:24
evandcr3: what do you mean?  I use the Gutsy alternate CD images often.09:24
evandwhich is d-i09:24
cr3evand: heh, nevermind, I'm confused in my own little world :)09:33
evandhaha09:34
cr3turns out I was encountering problems building the install initrd.gz and vmlinuz because of the corruption in the gutsy repository09:34
cr3but the problem was that my apt-cacher was corrupted09:34
cr3I suspect the problem might be that the operations of apt-cacher aren't atomic so interrupting the process corrupts the cache09:35
cr3instead of wgeting directly to the cache, it might be safer to wget in a temporary directory and the mv to the cache09:36
evandhrm09:36
cr3I should contribute to the project just to get back into perl after a few years of deprivity09:36
cr3developing against gutsy is a pain :(09:41
evandnah, you just have to dogfood it.09:44
cr3fucking hell, the repository is consistently broken09:45
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 weekend09:46
evandyikes09:53
cr3W: http://192.168.2.60/apt-cacher?/ubuntu-archive/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz was corrupt09:55
cr3and, 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 done09:57
cr3and in the hope the intel xorg driver and mesa library backports are sufficiently stable09:57
=== cr3 apologizes for this venting
evandno worries, it's amusing :)09:58
cr3evand: heh, makes me feel better there's a positive side to it :) thanks10:00
cr3evand: 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
