| cjwatson | bdmurray: it's not that it's dangerous not to but it's a hell of a lot faster to format it than to check it | 12:33 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | bdmurray: it's actually annoyingly tedious to fix that bug due to the way the backend works. I've known about it for a while though and it's on my list | 12:33 |
| cjwatson | there's definitely a bug about it already | 12:33 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: Right I read about that in bug 83166 which seems to be the one you are talking about | 12:34 |
| cjwatson | that's the one | 12:35 |
| bdmurray | I was just quite surprised to see swap not checked and then have it formatted. | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | indeed, it's a known deficiency | 12:40 |

| xivulon | cjwatson, at the moment if a CD is detected I do not copy that on HD (I only extract the kernel/initrd). I was reconsidering that. | 03:17 |
| xivulon | The issue is that the above implies that you have to reboot with the CD inserted, which then forces the users to select "boot from first hard disk" | 03:18 |
| xivulon | If I copy the CD to the HD, I can simply eject the CD and ask the users to remove the CD and reboot. | 03:18 |
| xivulon | This to me is a more elegant solution (but it wastes 700MB). | 03:19 |

| xivulon | cjwatson, any opinion on my previous comments? | 09:09 |
| evand | xivulon: he's out for the day | 09:09 |
| xivulon | ah | 09:09 |
| xivulon | your opinion? | 09:09 |
| xivulon | evand, that you know, can ubiquity resize a partition if the device is mounted (r/o)? | 09:09 |
| evand | copying it to the HD sounds fine to me. I think the boot process is complicated enough as it is, no need to make them jump through yet another hoop by selecting another menu option. | 09:09 |
| evand | xivulon: it should try to unmount it first if memory serves | 09:09 |
| xivulon | The reason I am asking is because I have now a "dedicated partition" mode | 09:09 |
| xivulon | which simply starts ubiquity with a preseed, but without any partitioning preseeding | 09:09 |
| xivulon | but that might happen when the ISO is on the HD | 09:09 |
| xivulon | I guess it's ok since that how hd-media works | 09:09 |
| xivulon | but wanted to make sure | 09:09 |
| evand | well, still check with cjwatson | 09:09 |
| xivulon | sure | 09:09 |
| evand | great | 09:09 |
| xivulon | how is unionfs doing? | 09:09 |
| xivulon | is the latest build working +/-? | 09:09 |
| evand | I haven't checked today's build, but we have a bug to track: | 09:09 |
| evand | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/138915 | 09:09 |
| xivulon | evand, what is a good way to extract distro name/version from a cd that works across different ubuntu flavors? | 09:15 |
| xivulon | also, how difficult would it be to avoid the last reboot? | 09:17 |
| evand | .disk/info? | 09:18 |
| evand | last reboot? | 09:19 |
| xivulon | I mean if it would be possible to boot straight into the newly installed system without having to reboot | 09:26 |
| evand | from the livecd? | 09:27 |
| xivulon | well we will be use the livecd iso, even if we boot from hd, so in a sense yes | 09:28 |
| evand | no, I imagine for a number of reasons, but the one that sticks out is that you have unionfs running from the initrd. | 09:30 |
| xivulon | thx | 09:42 |
