| xivulon | cjwatson ping | 12:28 |
|---|---|---|
| xivulon | cjwatson the patched version of autopartition-loop goes a bit further but it stops when doing mount -o move /isodevice /target | 12:35 |
| xivulon | error is: mount: /isodevice is not a block device | 12:35 |
| xivulon | evand mentioned it might be a problem with the version of mount used | 12:38 |
| evand | well, that it might be the same bug that cjwatson is seeing | 12:41 |
| xivulon | any good reason not to use mount --bind? | 12:44 |
| xivulon | I ma using it right now and it is moving forward... Let's see if I hose anything | 12:45 |
| xivulon | zeroing the image file (not the spediest thing I have seen) | 12:46 |
| === xivulon [n=ubuntu@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-installer [] | ||
| evand | the current version of wubi does not seed ubiquity/summary, but xivulon is adding this to build 296 shortly | 01:09 |
| cjwatson | evand: still around? | 01:42 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorting out xivulon's issues | 01:42 |
| cjwatson | evand: I found a couple of m-a bugs | 01:43 |
| cjwatson | evand: aside from ubiquity/summary not being preseeded, the Install button shows up disabled | 01:43 |
| cjwatson | evand: any idea why? | 01:43 |
| cjwatson | for the beta, I'm going to change the zeroing to just create a sparse file | 01:44 |
| cjwatson | it'll probably fragment like a bastard and it won't preallocate space properly, but it's SO SLOW at the moment it's unbearable | 01:44 |
| evand | cjwatson: yes, brb though | 01:44 |
| cjwatson | also found another partman-auto-loop bug and an os-prober bug | 01:47 |
| cjwatson | but I'm getting there | 01:48 |
| === cjwatson preseeds stuff by editing /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | ||
| evand | cjwatson: sorry about that, I would be very interested in the m-a bugs. I'm not sure about the install button, but I recall seeing it before. I just haven't noticed it in a long while as I've been preseeding that question. I seem to recall going back a page and going forward fixes it, but that wont work here | 01:54 |
| evand | as we disable the back button | 01:54 |
| evand | I'll look into it tonight though | 01:54 |
| cjwatson | I'm in an awkward state for sending patches at the moment | 01:54 |
| evand | heh, I can imagine | 01:54 |
| cjwatson | but basically the windowsxp special case in mount_os gets it a bit wrong | 01:54 |
| cjwatson | need to kill the /etc/mtab stuff because that isn't accurate (or at least move it below /proc/mounts) | 01:54 |
| evand | it's detecting vista as xp, isn't it? | 01:54 |
| evand | ok | 01:55 |
| cjwatson | and stick a head -n1 in those pipelines | 01:55 |
| cjwatson | and remove the backslashes at the ends of those lines 'cos I'm not quite sure why they're there :) | 01:55 |
| evand | line continuations? | 01:55 |
| cjwatson | but the next lines are separate commands | 01:55 |
| cjwatson | so it doesn't make sense to continue the lines there | 01:55 |
| evand | oh, yeah, curious | 01:56 |
| cjwatson | it's the sequence that goes grep /etc/mtab, if that failed grep /proc/mounts, etc. to find the mountpoint | 01:56 |
| cjwatson | after that though we still have a problem | 01:56 |
| cjwatson | wubi preseeds migration-assistant/partitions to "Windows XP Professional (/dev/sda3)" | 01:56 |
| cjwatson | but it actually needs to be "Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) (/dev/sda3)" | 01:56 |
| evand | that shouldn't matter | 01:56 |
| evand | It doesn't actually do anything with the first part | 01:57 |
| cjwatson | well, the m-a page pops up ... | 01:57 |
| evand | that might just be a bug in the ubiquity m-a code | 01:57 |
| cjwatson | /dev/sda3 is in choices | 01:57 |
| evand | what question is it asking? | 01:57 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure, I'll have to rerun with --debug | 01:57 |
| cjwatson | I'm getting used to the pkill parted_server; rm -rf /var/lib/partman /var/run/parted_server.pid; losetup -d /dev/loop2; losetup -d /dev/loop3; losetup -d /dev/loop4; rm /host/ubuntu/disks/*.disk; umount /host dance | 01:58 |
| evand | hahaha | 01:58 |
| cjwatson | you're not really meant to do this ... | 01:58 |
| evand | it's a good thing you know what you're doing, or I'd consider that brand new windows partition a goner | 01:59 |
| evand | s/or/otherwise | 01:59 |
| cjwatson | I *think* I know what I'm doing | 02:00 |
| cjwatson | there's a subtle difference | 02:00 |
| cjwatson | oh fuck, no no no | 02:00 |
| cjwatson | framebuffer died | 02:00 |
| cjwatson | remind me how I suspend from a shell, assuming the shell is listening? | 02:01 |
| evand | haha, you're asking the wrong person | 02:01 |
| evand | btw, if you'd like to skip m-a for now, you can always preseed partitions to nothing, though I imagine you know and have done this | 02:01 |
| evand | I'm going to grab some programming dinner in the form of taco bell, and I shall return to release a new version of m-a with the fixes you suggest. Feel free to keep me up to date. | 02:02 |
| cjwatson | damnit, had to give up and power off | 02:03 |
| cjwatson | there go all the in-place customisations | 02:03 |
| cjwatson | evand: I'll make a branch of m-a with the fixes I tested in-place | 02:03 |
| evand | ...months, if not years, of vmware has taught me to scp at every possible free moment | 02:04 |
| evand | though you probably don't have a network device | 02:04 |
| evand | cjwatson: thanks | 02:04 |
| cjwatson | oh, I mounted my normal root filesystem for a bit and stuck the changes in there | 02:04 |
| cjwatson | and I remember the rest | 02:04 |
| cjwatson | it's just that I have to apply them all to the live filesystem again by hand | 02:04 |
| evand | so then it's just the painstaking process of reapplying them | 02:04 |
| evand | indeed | 02:04 |
| cjwatson | d-i hacking is pretty much the same story | 02:05 |
| evand | gah, I can imagine | 02:06 |
| cjwatson | evand: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kamion/migration-assistant/wubi-fixes - please review | 02:15 |
| evand | reviewing now | 03:09 |
| evand | looks good, thank you | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: evand * r61 migration-assistant/ (debian/changelog ma-script-utils): | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: * In the Windows case in mount_os: | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: - Look in /proc/mounts, not /proc/partitions. | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: - Look in /proc/mounts before /etc/mtab. | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: - Make sure to select only the first mountpoint for a given device (in | 03:16 |
| CIA-18 | migration-assistant: case of bind mounts). | 03:16 |
| cjwatson | evand: hmm, /var/log/installer/debug says it set migration-assistant/sda3/users but doesn't seem to have any INPUT | 03:18 |
| evand | and the interface is showing up? | 03:18 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 03:18 |
| cjwatson | oh, hang on | 03:18 |
| cjwatson | it did INPUT high ubiquity/run-ma-again | 03:19 |
| cjwatson | and that was seen false | 03:19 |
| evand | curious | 03:19 |
| evand | oh, hrm | 03:19 |
| cjwatson | that seems to always be asked assuming ma-ask succeeded | 03:20 |
| cjwatson | so I think it needs to not trigger a page load | 03:20 |
| evand | ok | 03:21 |
| evand | the question then becomes where do I trigger the page load then. | 03:21 |
| === evand pokes around the code | ||
| cjwatson | surely that isn't what triggers it normally | 03:22 |
| cjwatson | normally it would just be migration-assistant/partitions | 03:22 |
| evand | it needs to continue after migration-assistant/partitions | 03:22 |
| evand | oh | 03:23 |
| evand | I'm going to read my own code now instead of assuming I know what I'm talking about | 03:23 |
| cjwatson | oh, hm, that really is where you trigger it | 03:23 |
| evand | heh | 03:23 |
| cjwatson | nothing else does FilteredCommand.run | 03:23 |
| evand | well, unless there isn't anything to import from, but yeah | 03:24 |
| cjwatson | would if 'UBIQUITY_AUTOMATIC' in os.environ: return FilteredCommand.run(blah); else: return self.succeeded | 03:25 |
| cjwatson | work? | 03:25 |
| evand | yeah, but that line is ending up everywhere in the source code | 03:25 |
| cjwatson | er except the other way round | 03:25 |
| cjwatson | I know :-/ | 03:25 |
| evand | it's becoming quite the special case | 03:25 |
| evand | hrmm, I suppose that can work until a better solution is discovered | 03:26 |
| cjwatson | I'm not fond of it, if we can think of something better that'd be great | 03:26 |
| cjwatson | hmm | 03:29 |
| evand | yeah, continue with that in there for now and I'll see if I can find a way to get around it. No sense in that tying you up any more than it has. | 03:29 |
| cjwatson | ok, I'm thinking maybe instead you should display the interface at some point after self.firstrun becomes False | 03:31 |
| cjwatson | half-formed thought though | 03:31 |
| evand | another half formed thought: you can only display the interface cleanly through FilteredCommand.run and that's a blocking operation (calls enter_ui_loop) | 03:32 |
| evand | I really need to delete comments as they become irrelevent. | 03:33 |
| === cjwatson wonders if we should have a ubiquity sprint at some point | ||
| evand | I'm all for it | 03:33 |
| evand | but I imagine that's a decision for Mark to rubber stamp | 03:33 |
| cjwatson | dive in and redesign bastard bits like that | 03:33 |
| cjwatson | I believe Matt has authority to approve sprints | 03:34 |
| cjwatson | I'll run it by him at some point | 03:34 |
| evand | FilteredCommand.run? Heh, technically it just was, though I'll accept possibly poorly. | 03:34 |
| cjwatson | it wasn't well-designed to start with, which can't have helped | 03:34 |
| evand | the sprint idea might help with the massive ubiquity bug fix that I believe you have planned for 8.04, no sense putting band-aids on open wounds. | 03:36 |
| evand | er that metaphor was terrible, but I'm sure you get the idea :) | 03:36 |
| evand | hrmm | 03:38 |
| cjwatson | ok, my box crashed again, but it was doing better that time | 03:45 |
| cjwatson | I'm going to try to get everything I have in before the LP downtime and then go to bed | 03:46 |
| evand | ok, goodnight | 03:46 |
| evand | I may have a solution for the m-a problem | 03:46 |
| cjwatson | are you ready to have m-a uploaded? | 03:46 |
| evand | yeah, might as well | 03:46 |
| cjwatson | oh? | 03:46 |
| cjwatson | I was going to commit that workaround, but if you have something better, that's good | 03:47 |
| evand | no, by all means, commit that, this can always be added after the fact | 03:47 |
| evand | after all, it may fail miserably | 03:47 |
| evand | is there some trick to bzr+ssh I'm missing | 03:51 |
| evand | AssertionError: end of file reading from server. | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | #ubuntu-devel | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | it's down | 03:51 |
| cjwatson | (argh!) | 03:51 |
| evand | argh indeed! | 03:52 |
| cjwatson | ok, 15 minutes until it comes back up, let's make sure we have all our ducks in a row | 04:00 |
| evand | I ran pbuilder while we were waiting just to play it safe. But as far as m-a goes it's just that two-liner. I can't imagine that breaking anything. | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto-loop: sparse files, remove 'mountpoint' file so that ubiquity doesn't get confused and claim /dev/sda is busy | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | migration-assistant: upload the stuff already in bzr | 04:01 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity: m-a workaround by checking UBIQUITY_AUTOMATIC | 04:02 |
| cjwatson | am I missing anything? | 04:02 |
| evand | not sure as my ubiquity branch is potentially out of date | 04:02 |
| evand | do you want to upload m-a straight, or should I put it on rookery | 04:02 |
| cjwatson | put it on rookery please | 04:03 |
| evand | you fixed the ubiquity-dm file to call with --automatic, right? | 04:03 |
| cjwatson | yes | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | * Use the --automatic option when running ubiquity from the init script | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | (thanks, Evan Dandrea). | 04:04 |
| cjwatson | * Work around migration-assistant always being shown in automatic | 04:04 |
