[12:36] I think it's something to do with the loopdevices [12:37] removing the loopdevice && mkfs.ext3 root.disk #works [12:37] also recreating the loopdevices and running mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop2 works [12:38] if I target the original loop devices though it jams [12:41] hrm [12:41] I'd say you're right then :) === CIA-18 [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 === xivulon [n=ago@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer [10:05] ubiquity: superm1 * r2164 mythbuntu-ubiquity/ (3 files in 3 dirs): migrate to xfce autologin === xivulon [n=ago@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === xivulon [i=c2325681@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-eb2bff1294c40378] has joined #ubuntu-installer [10:55] cjwatson, had a go at wubi yesterday, I also got stopped at mkfs create hournal [10:56] I'll switch back to non-sparse files post-beta like you suggested and we'll see how that goes [10:56] I tried that but it did not make any difference [10:56] the wierd thing is this [10:57] if I stop just before the makefs command and run mkfs.ext3 /host/ubuntu/install/root.disk it works [10:57] if I do the same targeting the loop device it does not [10:57] but... [10:58] if I create the file, loop device and run mkfs on the loopdevice without running ubiquity it also works [10:59] I stopped there yesterday night, did not run any trace === [EST] Myoldryn [n=Jaan@dhcp-84-52-63-249.cable.infonet.ee] has joined #ubuntu-installer === [EST] Myoldryn [n=Jaan@dhcp-84-52-63-249.cable.infonet.ee] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === xanax` [i=JavaUser@cqf44-1-82-229-129-41.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer [01:05] hello [01:06] is this channel about wubi ? [01:07] 12:07 -!- Topic for #ubuntu-installer: Development of d-i and ubiquity in Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment [01:07] 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] ok [01:08] xanax`: please use ubuntuforums.org [01:10] Thanks. I will. === xivulon [i=c2325681@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-7158228cacd96f11] has joined #ubuntu-installer [01:15] xanax`: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 [01:15] I am ago in the forum [01:15] cjwatson any thought on previous comments? === xanax` [i=JavaUser@cqf44-1-82-229-129-41.fbx.proxad.net] has left #ubuntu-installer [] [01:17] not now, sorry [01:20] cjwatson, I can try a bit tonight, but I will be away till monday [01:28] I'm sorry but it's beta day and I have a couple of important software deliveries to finalise [01:28] I won't have any time today [01:33] np, if I find anything I'll send you an email, then we can resume on monday [01:33] besto of luck with the beta!!! [01:46] 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.

[04:57] ? [04:58] not quite [04:58] d-i pkgsel/language-packs string XX YY [04:59] Is it documented somewhere that I missed? [05:00] not that I can see, no [05:00] ok. just making sure. [05:00] feel free to file a bug on installation-guide asking for that [05:01] 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] 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] mebrown: I've asked evand to take care of your automation needs [05:01] since he implemented ubiquity-automation in the first place :) [05:03] ok. so I am getting up to speed on how gutsy dev works... [05:03] how long would it take to get into a daily build? [05:04] 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] yes, it is. [05:04] but inconvenient... [05:04] 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] so Friday is a little bit short really [05:05] but anyway, in general it takes a couple of hours from upload to available-in-the-archive [05:05] ok. was hoping something next week actually [05:05] I already committed myself to using patches for my friday deadline [05:05] assuming that we have patches ready on Friday, that should be no problem [05:06] Ok. Thanks. [05:06] I'm off to hack on things for another round. === mebrown [n=michael_@adsl-67-65-14-121.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has left #ubuntu-installer ["Leaving"] === xivulon [i=c2325681@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-e6a371d77c17988e] has joined #ubuntu-installer === CIA-18 [n=CIA@208.69.182.149] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:23] cjwatson, do you merge if i my changes back to the normal ubiquity branch now that the beta was released? === labroid [n=chatzill@12.1.53.66] has joined #ubuntu-installer [07:03] Hello? [07:05] 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] I will try general forums. Thanks. === Knuta [i=knuta@129.241.43.229] has left #ubuntu-installer [] === bdmurray [n=bdmurray@mylar.outflux.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer [08:35] evand: bug 145727 might be a quick fix [08:40] bdmurray: what did you have on your other partitions when you noticed this bug? [08:42] an exisitng gutsy install on one, my ext3 home partition on another and vista with ntfs [08:42] 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] thanks for bringing this to my attention [08:44] evand: I probably still have logs what do you need? === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer [08:45] /var/log/installer/debug (wont be there unless you passed --debug) and /var/log/syslog [08:47] 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] 145712 is probably related too [08:51] 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] Would a bug report about the netboot belong with the debian-installer package? [09:10] That's probably a good starting point for it. netcfg might be more appropriate, but I am not certain about that. === xivulon [n=ago@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer [09:27] I thought I had seen a bug report about language installation issues. Is there a "master" bug for that? [09:33] the one about the installer hanging when trying to download new lang packs? Not that I know of. [09:33] Feel free to make one :) === avoine [n=avoine@modemcable079.71-203-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-installer [11:16] okay 145012 seems good and I found 2 dups so far [11:21] wonderful [11:21] to an extent :) === mebrown [n=michael_@adsl-67-65-14-121.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer [11:55] cjwatson, ping... the early_command.diff you sent Tuesday appears to work ok [12:07] mebrown: he left for the day, but I'll be happy to field any questions [12:07] no questions for now. [12:08] ok [12:08] just wanted to let him know that the patch works (and hopefully will show up in a daily soon... :) [12:08] now just looking at hacking something in for late_command [12:08] indeed, I'm on it. We should be able to get it in tomorrow when the archive re-opens [12:09] ok. [12:09] do you have a patch that I can apply locally? [12:09] or should I just continue my hackish-hacking? [12:09] 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] dont absolutely need that one right now [12:10] I need late_command [12:10] ok [12:10] I'll let you know as soon as I have that ready. [12:10] 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] thanks.
