[12:36] <xivulon> I think it's something to do with the loopdevices
[12:37] <xivulon> removing the loopdevice && mkfs.ext3 root.disk #works
[12:37] <xivulon> also recreating the loopdevices and running mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop2 works
[12:38] <xivulon> if I target the original loop devices though it jams
[12:41] <evand> hrm
[12:41] <evand> I'd say you're right then :)
[10:05] <CIA-18> ubiquity: superm1 * r2164 mythbuntu-ubiquity/ (3 files in 3 dirs): migrate to xfce autologin
[10:55] <xivulon> cjwatson, had a go at wubi yesterday, I also got stopped at mkfs create hournal
[10:56] <cjwatson> I'll switch back to non-sparse files post-beta like you suggested and we'll see how that goes
[10:56] <xivulon> I tried that but it did not make any difference
[10:56] <xivulon> the wierd thing is this
[10:57] <xivulon> if I stop just before the makefs command and run mkfs.ext3 /host/ubuntu/install/root.disk it works
[10:57] <xivulon> if I do the same targeting the loop device it does not
[10:57] <xivulon> but...
[10:58] <xivulon> if I create the file, loop device and run mkfs on the loopdevice without running ubiquity it also works
[10:59] <xivulon> I stopped there yesterday night, did not run any trace
[01:05] <xanax`> hello
[01:06] <xanax`> is this channel about wubi ?
[01:07] <cjwatson> 12:07 -!- Topic for #ubuntu-installer: Development of d-i and ubiquity in Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment
[01:07] <cjwatson> we have been working on integrating wubi lately, but if it's help with wubi you need then there may be better places
[01:08] <xanax`> ok
[01:08] <xivulon> xanax`: please use ubuntuforums.org
[01:10] <xanax`> Thanks. I will.
[01:15] <xivulon> xanax`: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234
[01:15] <xivulon> I am ago in the forum
[01:15] <xivulon> cjwatson any thought on previous comments?
[01:17] <cjwatson> not now, sorry
[01:20] <xivulon> cjwatson, I can try a bit tonight, but I will be away till monday
[01:28] <cjwatson> I'm sorry but it's beta day and I have a couple of important software deliveries to finalise
[01:28] <cjwatson> I won't have any time today
[01:33] <xivulon> np, if I find anything I'll send you an email, then we can resume on monday
[01:33] <xivulon> besto of luck with the beta!!!
[01:46] <xivulon> by the way cjwatson, we could have shipped wubi, limited to Use-CD/Read-Only mode, it would have been useful for people with bios issues. Don't know why I didn't think of that
[04:53] <mebrown> question: for automatic-ubiquity, I need to install language support for many languages (in oem-mode) so that the customer can choose their langauage on first boot
[04:54] <mebrown> I dont see anything in the preseed docs for installing multiple languages
[04:56] <cjwatson> mebrown: ought to be possible by preseeding pkgsel/language-packs (string type) to a space-separated list of language codes
[04:56] <mebrown> so something like:
[04:57] <mebrown> d-i pkgsel/lanague-packs string language-pack-XX language-pack-YY ...
[04:57] <mebrown> ?
[04:58] <cjwatson> not quite
[04:58] <cjwatson> d-i pkgsel/language-packs string XX YY
[04:59] <mebrown> Is it documented somewhere that I missed?
[05:00] <cjwatson> not that I can see, no
[05:00] <mebrown> ok. just making sure.
[05:00] <cjwatson> feel free to file a bug on installation-guide asking for that
[05:01] <mebrown> cjwatson,  I have been out of commission for a day and a half now, so I'm out of the loop... have you finished your beta-stuff?
[05:01] <cjwatson> I'm finishing for the day now, I got two hours of sleep last night and I think my wife would like to remember what I look like
[05:01] <cjwatson> mebrown: I've asked evand to take care of your automation needs
[05:01] <cjwatson> since he implemented ubiquity-automation in the first place :)
[05:03] <mebrown> ok. so I am getting up to speed on how gutsy dev works...
[05:03] <mebrown> how long would it take to get into a daily build?
[05:04] <cjwatson> it was my understanding that you would be OK with applying patches for a little while, and that getting into the archive was not immediately critical
[05:04] <mebrown> yes, it is.
[05:04] <mebrown> but inconvenient...
[05:04] <cjwatson> understood, but the archive doesn't unfreeze after beta until tomorrow, and we also have a responsibility not to break things for other users at this point
[05:05] <cjwatson> so Friday is a little bit short really
[05:05] <cjwatson> but anyway, in general it takes a couple of hours from upload to available-in-the-archive
[05:05] <mebrown> ok. was hoping something next week actually
[05:05] <mebrown> I already committed myself to using patches for my friday deadline
[05:05] <cjwatson> assuming that we have patches ready on Friday, that should be no problem
[05:06] <mebrown> Ok. Thanks.
[05:06] <mebrown> I'm off to hack on things for another round.
[06:23] <superm1> cjwatson, do you merge if i my changes back to the normal ubiquity branch now that the beta was released?
[07:03] <labroid> Hello?
[07:05] <labroid> I am unable to configure RAID and LVM via the Feisty installers (server and alternate tried).  I have also tried the shell within the installers to no avail.  Is this the right forum?
[07:06] <labroid> I will try general forums.  Thanks.
[08:35] <bdmurray> evand: bug 145727 might be a quick fix
[08:40] <evand> bdmurray: what did you have on your other partitions when you noticed this bug?
[08:42] <bdmurray> an exisitng gutsy install on one, my ext3 home partition on another and vista with ntfs
[08:42] <evand> ahh, that reinforces my theory that this only happens with Vista.  It may end up being a duplicate of 135149, but I wont know until I get logs for both bugs.
[08:43] <evand> thanks for bringing this to my attention
[08:44] <bdmurray> evand: I probably still have logs what do you need?
[08:45] <evand>  /var/log/installer/debug (wont be there unless you passed --debug) and /var/log/syslog
[08:47] <evand> If you don't have the time for that, don't worry about it.  I have a Vista install in VMWare and I'll see if I can reproduce this a little later in the day.
[08:47] <bdmurray> 145712 is probably related too
[08:51] <evand> hrmm, it looks like the same section of code, but a different bug.  I need to make that routine bulletproof before RC.  This is not the first time I've seen bugs related to mounting and unmounting partitions in m-a.
[09:03] <bdmurray> Would a bug report about the netboot belong with the debian-installer package?
[09:10] <evand> That's probably a good starting point for it.  netcfg might be more appropriate, but I am not certain about that.
[09:27] <bdmurray> I thought I had seen a bug report about language installation issues.  Is there a "master" bug for that?
[09:33] <evand> the one about the installer hanging when trying to download new lang packs?  Not that I know of.
[09:33] <evand> Feel free to make one :)
[11:16] <bdmurray> okay 145012 seems good and I found 2 dups so far
[11:21] <evand> wonderful
[11:21] <evand> to an extent :)
[11:55] <mebrown> cjwatson, ping... the early_command.diff you sent Tuesday appears to work ok
[12:07] <evand> mebrown: he left for the day, but I'll be happy to field any questions
[12:07] <mebrown> no questions for now.
[12:08] <evand> ok
[12:08] <mebrown> just wanted to let him know that the patch works (and hopefully will show up in a daily soon... :)
[12:08] <mebrown> now just looking at hacking something in for late_command
[12:08] <evand> indeed, I'm on it.  We should be able to get it in tomorrow when the archive re-opens
[12:09] <mebrown> ok.
[12:09] <mebrown> do you have a patch that I can apply locally?
[12:09] <mebrown> or should I just continue my hackish-hacking?
[12:09] <evand> I'm working on patches as we speak.  I have a patch for preseeding the reboot done and tested if you'd like it.
[12:10] <mebrown> dont absolutely need that one right now
[12:10] <mebrown> I need late_command
[12:10] <evand> ok
[12:10] <evand> I'll let you know as soon as I have that ready.
[12:10] <mebrown> because I can (will, actually) be scripting in a reboot in late_command, so the preseed for reboot is going to be more useful to other people.
[12:10] <mebrown> thanks.
