[04:08] partman-auto (62ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=low [04:08] partman-auto (62ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=l * auto.d/initial_auto: If partman-auto/method is preseeded and [04:08] partman-auto/disk is not but there is only one disk, act as though [04:08] partman-auto/disk had been preseeded to that disk. This simplifies a [04:08] number of preseeding scenarios that had been complicated by the removal [04:08] of devfs path support. [04:08] -- Colin Watson Tue, 23 Jan 2007 09:46:39 +0100 [04:09] cjwatson: cheers! how did you get that information into the channel? [04:09] if it's just a copy and paste, where did you copy from? [04:12] you've seen changelogs before, haven't you? [04:13] cjwatson: it looked like it but, for some reason, it looked more like a feature request. sorry for the stupid question :/ [04:13] no, it's [04:13] just the partman-auto changelog [04:13] (modulo irssi paste damage) [04:13] that is very cool, intel will be very pleased to hear about it [04:14] 'd-i partman-auto/method string regular' is the other piece of the puzzle for normal setups (as opposed to lvm or what-have-you). They probably have that already [04:14] cjwatson: how can I know the values supported by partman-auto/method? I remember having to specify "regular" during feisty, but I didn't quite understand why. [04:15] see the installation guide [04:15] except that crypto is not yet supported in Ubuntu === CIA-19 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:06] cjwatson: when I only specify "d-i partman-auto/method string regular" without "d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda", I get prompted to partition disks. I guess I will read the installation guide more carefully === CIA-19 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:13] wow, the wubi build system runs on Unix with WINE [06:13] need to have NSIS installed though [06:13] hahaha [06:14] cjwatson: so partman-auto-method string regular doesn't seem to be picking up the only disk on the system, I'm about to send you the syslog and partman files [06:14] what even possessed you to try that? === superm1 [i=malimonc@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:16] cr3: ok [06:16] evand: I didn't try it, I was curious about where we would start with including wubi on the CDs and went to look ... [06:17] ah [06:17] looks like it has a bunch of code for allocating disk images that can be replaced by partman-auto-loop now [06:17] nice [06:18] well, once I get fuse and ntfs udebs done and such [06:20] cr3: that syslog shows four disks [06:27] cjwatson: but the installer doesn't prompt me to select on which disk I want to install, it only offers to partition sda [06:28] I never said there was UI for that :) [06:28] oh, er, wait === cjwatson rereads [06:29] cr3: what if you select "Guided - use entire disk"? you didn't in the logs you sent me [06:30] the auto-resize thing only ever offers freed space on one selected disk [06:30] you'll never get multiple "Guided - resize and use freed space" options [06:30] the partitioner has certainly noticed the existence of the other disks though [06:33] cjwatson: thanks for the explanation, I had assumed from the UI that there was only one disk but I should've paid more attention to the log file. that'll learn me === CIA-19 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #ubuntu-installer === avoine [n=avoine@69.70.0.36] has joined #ubuntu-installer === CIA-20 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #ubuntu-installer === cjwatson_ [n=cjwatson@82-69-40-219.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer === avoine [n=avoine@69.70.0.36] has joined #ubuntu-installer === blackskad [n=blackska@d54C4A53D.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-installer === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@trider-g7.fabbione.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer === Topic for #ubuntu-installer: Development of d-i and ubiquity in Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment === Topic (#ubuntu-installer): set by cjwatson at Fri Jan 5 15:12:40 2007 === Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-installer.log === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@ubuntu/bot/ubuntulog] has joined #ubuntu-installer === Topic for #ubuntu-installer: Development of d-i and ubiquity in Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment === Topic (#ubuntu-installer): set by cjwatson at Fri Jan 5 15:12:40 2007
