| Cookiepig | hey guys | 00:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Cookiepig | this the channel where we ask about installing ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| ago | cjwatson, evand, the option creating issues in update-initramfs was "group_id=0" | 01:58 |
| xivulon | Have filed bug #187282 anyway, the option triggering the failure was "group_id" by the way | 11:03 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 187282 in wubi "update-initramfs -u fails with "WARNING: /boot is ro mounted." even if /boot is rw" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/187282 | 11:03 |
| xivulon | evand, cjwatson, re #175772 unlike stated in the email, I think that the fix simply involves removing the line: | 11:15 |
| xivulon | if [ -f "$loop_file" ]; then | 11:15 |
| xivulon | from update-grub | 11:15 |
| * xivulon thinks a bug comment would be better | 11:16 | |
| xivulon | evand, cjwatson, ignore my yesterday emails and look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/175772/comments/6 | 11:25 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 175772 in wubi "Update-grub does not set kopt correctly in loopinstallations" [Medium,In progress] | 11:25 |
| xivulon | was far too late yesterday... | 11:26 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| xivulon | I have noticed that update grub defaults to /dev/hda1 if it cannot find a root_device. | 13:26 |
| xivulon | Shouldn't that be /dev/sda1 which seems to be far more common these days? | 13:26 |
| cjwatson | that case should be considered a bug if it ever occurs so I think it's fine to leave it as it is | 13:37 |
| evand | cjwatson: do you think it's inappropriate to upload a patched version of sysvinit today, or should I wait until Friday? I've tested it and found no issues, the code also looks ok as far as I can tell. | 13:46 |
| evand | ick, I could've worded that better. | 13:49 |
| cjwatson | evand: are you aiming to get the whole of wubi into alpha 4? | 13:50 |
| evand | ideally | 13:52 |
| evand | but I wholly acknowledge it may be too late for that. | 13:52 |
| xivulon | that would be nice :P | 13:53 |
| xivulon | patch to 175772 is trivial (see last comment) | 13:54 |
| xivulon | patch to umountfs is a bit more invasive but should be ok | 13:54 |
| xivulon | for ref last comment in 151579 | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | evand: if so, then it's appropriate; if not, it should wait | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | evand: if so, of course, then you have a matter of hours | 14:03 |
| evand | can you clarify, if what is so? | 14:04 |
| evand | cjwatson: ^ | 14:04 |
| cjwatson | if you are aiming to get wubi support in alpha 4 | 14:06 |
| evand | ok, thanks for the advice. | 14:06 |
| CIA-23 | partman-target: evand * r694 partman-target.ubuntu/ (commit.d/clear_partitions debian/changelog): | 15:00 |
| CIA-23 | partman-target: * Rework clear_partitions to not try to remove active mountpoints (LP: | 15:00 |
| CIA-23 | partman-target: #186711). | 15:00 |
| cjwatson | oh good, I was about to ask you about that | 15:03 |
| evand | I finished that yesterday, but I woke up this morning to a VM missing /boot and I'm trying to determine now if clear_partitions is the cluprit. | 15:04 |
| CIA-23 | ubiquity: evand * r2424 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py): | 17:36 |
| CIA-23 | ubiquity: * Add new nautilus gconf keys to the list we temporarily disable to | 17:36 |
| CIA-23 | ubiquity: prevent constant pop-ups. | 17:36 |
| CIA-23 | partman-target: evand * r695 partman-target.ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 52ubuntu3 | 17:45 |
| evand | looks good as far as I can tell (I tested several different partition table configurations with it present) | 17:46 |
| evand | so my missing /boot was probably me canceling an install after it ran but before the grub-install component had a chance to run | 17:47 |
| evand | and forgetting about it | 17:47 |

| cr3 | how can I seed variables from the command line? | 20:46 |
| evand | cr3: debconf-communicate | 20:47 |
| evand | echo "SET passwd/username evan" | debconf-communicate | 20:47 |
| cr3 | evand: thanks man! | 20:48 |
| evand | cr3: anytime | 20:48 |
| cr3 | evand: now lets see if my package works :) | 20:48 |
| evand | heh | 20:48 |
| cr3 | evand: I'm getting: 10 hwtest-verify/plugins/exchange_prompt/secure_id doesn't exist | 20:50 |
| evand | is it in the templates file of your package? | 20:50 |
| cr3 | evand: yes, but the package is not installed yet | 20:51 |
| cr3 | evand: basically, I want to set the variable and then try dpkg installing it | 20:52 |
| evand | to avoid the question being asked? | 20:53 |
| cr3 | evand: yep, and also to test that the variable is being substituted properly. this is ultimately meant to go in the preseed of a network install, so I want to test on the command line because the install takes forever :) | 20:54 |
| evand | ah, then I should've pointed you at debconf-set-selections instead | 20:55 |
| evand | it takes the same format as a preseed file | 20:55 |
| cr3 | thanks, I'll try that | 20:56 |
| evand | so echo "d-i foo/bar string barish" | debconf-set-selections | 20:56 |
| evand | you're welcome | 20:56 |
| cr3 | evand: that's even more perfect, I get to test the exact line from my preseed file | 20:56 |
| cr3 | evand: worked on the command line, now to figure out why it doesn't work during the installation | 21:06 |
| evand | because the database is locked by the install process | 21:06 |
| evand | you can only modify questions as part of a component of the install (sourcing confmodule and using db_set) | 21:07 |
| evand | oh, perhaps I misread | 21:07 |
| cr3 | evand: I'm not quite sure I understand | 21:07 |
| evand | I think I misread, you are doing this as part of a udeb and you're saying that it's not working within that context, right? | 21:08 |
| evand | I thought you were saying using debconf-set-selections wasn't working while the install was running. | 21:08 |
| cr3 | evand: right, so I'm netinstalling and using a preseed which has worked well for me so far. now, I added this line to pressed a package: | 21:09 |
| cr3 | d-i hwtest-verify/plugins/exchange_prompt/secure_id string $secure_id | 21:09 |
| cr3 | (where $secure_id gets substituted at some point, don't worry about it :) | 21:09 |
| evand | haha that scared me for a moment | 21:09 |
| cr3 | then, I install the extra packages I need with this line: | 21:09 |
| cr3 | d-i preseed/late_command string apt-install hwtest-server-cli | 21:10 |
| evand | shouldn't that be pkgsel/include hwtest-server-ci? | 21:11 |
| evand | errm wait no | 21:11 |
| cr3 | evand: in the sample preseed file, I see two ways: pkgsel/include and preseed/late_command. the former is used to install openssh-server in the sample and the latter to install zsh. | 21:12 |
| evand | is hwtest-server-cli a udeb? | 21:13 |
| cjwatson | pkgsel/include is preferred if you can | 21:15 |
| cjwatson | the latter is an example in case you need to do more complicated stuff | 21:15 |
| evand | cjwatson: did you get my PM from earlier today? | 21:25 |
| cr3 | evand: no, hwtest-server-cli is not a udeb, does it need to be? | 22:25 |
| evand | no, I was curious as if it was a component of the install process the way you installed it would be different. | 22:26 |
| cr3 | evand: does the install log get stored somewhere so that I can review after the installation whether the variable was indeed preseeded? | 22:32 |
| evand | /var/log/installer | 22:32 |
| matttp | cjwatson: You around? | 22:42 |
| cr3 | evand: I didn't find anything interesting relating to preseeding my variables in /var/log/installer, and I do have DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 in my kernel parameters | 22:54 |
| evand | cr3: hrm, I suppose you could copy the database out as part of late_command. cjwatson might know of a more elegant solution than that. | 22:58 |
| cr3 | evand: it's getting late, and even later for cjwatson. I'll try again tomorrow at a more reasonable time. thanks for all the help dude! | 22:58 |
| evand | yeah, I just noticed the time :) | 22:58 |
| evand | anytime, goodnight | 22:59 |
