xivulonare they doing maintenance of LP on a release date????00:18
TheMusoxivulon: Since the alphas are released on thursday, I don't think its that much of a problem. Most devs are sleeping at this time anyway.00:25
xivulonIsn't the alpha to be released today?00:32
TheMusoYes, but I think its more like late Thursday.00:34
TheMusoGoing on experience.00:34
TheMusoAt the earliest.00:34
xivulonusing latest iso I cannot boot01:01
xivulonget a complete system freeze at the beginning of the boot process (I assume after chrooting)01:02

* xivulon rant mode on09:57
xivulondon't think I have ever been able to fully test a real installation with > 48h from release09:57
xivulonquashfs in gutsy, seed freeze, now yesterday after the ISO finally gets the new stuff, my system canno boot...09:58
xivulonat 2 a.m. didn't have much strength left to debug09:59
* xivulon rant mode off09:59
xivulonanyway the issue seems to be in rcS.d during module loading and results on a complete system freeze (amd64 ISO)10:01
xivulonanyone else experiencing that?10:01
davmor2The new ubiquity doesn't set the country and keyboard defaults after the world map anymore.  Is this known?12:38
davmor2Ubiquity is also stopping at 94% configuring hardware....13:04
cjwatsonthat always takes a while13:09
cjwatsonit calls update-initramfs which is slow13:09
davmor2cjwatson: it's been 20 minutes there's no disc activity13:10
cjwatsonwhat is it doing? end of /var/log/syslog, process tree, etc.13:10
davmor2cjwatson: pulseaudio failed13:12
davmor2do you want me to post results to a bug I writing13:12
davmor2cjwatson: if so do you want the full log?13:13
cjwatsonyes13:13
cjwatson"pulseaudio failed" does not sound like a literally copied error message13:14
davmor2cjwatson: no it's my abridged version it's four lines long.  Is ps aux the process tree your on about?13:15
jgonzalezhi there, I'd like my LVM partitions to be mounted with the acl option on, is there any way to specify this in the preseeding file?13:21
cjwatsondavmor2: ps auxf13:22
cjwatsonjgonzalez: not preseedable at present unfortunately, though you could sed /target/etc/fstab from a late_command13:23
jgonzalezcjwatson, ok, thanks alot13:23
davmor2cjwatson: anything else you need I've added full syslog psaux and psauxf.13:24
cjwatsondavmor2: bug number?13:25
davmor2bug 19398613:25
ubotuLaunchpad bug 193986 in ubiquity "Ubiquity is locking up at 94% Configuring Hardware" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19398613:25
davmor2cjwatson: let me know if you want any info off the 64bit machine the current info is just the 32 bit install13:26
cjwatsondavmor2: I wonder if this is an effect of Steve's grub changes13:27
cjwatsonFeb 21 12:52:53 ubuntu ubiquity: X_LOADTEMPLATEFILE /var/lib/dpkg/info/ucf.templates ucf13:27
cjwatsonI'll free up some disk space for a VM and try to reproduce13:28
davmor2no idea not a dev just a tester13:28
cjwatsonunderstood, I'm just talking out loud13:28
cjwatsonerr13:28
cjwatsonthinking out loud :)13:28
davmor2cjwatson: If you need anything else let me know what and how to get and I'll happily oblige13:29
cjwatsonthe only thing I might need is a debug log, but it may be easier for me to try to reproduce it first13:29
cjwatsonor zen-debug it13:29
davmor2cjwatson: is it just the debug entry in the /var/log ?13:34
cjwatsondavmor2: don't worry about it, I think I know roughly what it is if not yet how to fix it13:35
cjwatsonso I don't think I need anything more from you, thanks13:35
davmor2np's13:35
evandcjwatson: I ran into that last night.  Curiously if you explicitly set stdin and stdout to PIPE when calling ucf (at least for the first invocation of it for the paper settings), it works.14:06
cjwatsonI think it's the ucf while reconfiguring linux-image14:09
cjwatson(via update-grub)14:09
evandwell, it happens twice14:09
evandonce for the paper settings, and then once for grub14:10
cjwatsonah14:11
davmor2bug 194007 is for the lack of keyboard setup.14:11
ubotuLaunchpad bug 194007 in ubiquity "Ubiquity keyboard is not being setup after world map." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19400714:11
xivulonWouldn't it be possible to have a small editor (other than sed) in the initrd?14:12
xivulonbusybox14:12
cjwatsonevand: in this case, the debconf output is being eaten by log-output rather than either handled in the chroot or else passed through14:12
evandah14:12
cjwatsonevand: trying to work out which debconf instance should handle things, though14:13
cjwatsonfor a noninteractive reconfiguration, it feels to me as if the chrooted debconf would be better off handling it14:14
evandseems reasonable14:14
evanddavmor2: odd, looking into it now14:15
davmor2evand: My set up is for London and it gave me us keyboard14:16
xivulondavmor2: do you mean that you select a keyboard layout and after installation you and up with a US setup?14:39
xivuloncould that be a duplicate of bug #188492?14:39
ubotuLaunchpad bug 188492 in wubi "console-setup/layoutcode settings are ignored" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18849214:39
cjwatsonthat would be preseeding, which is probably different14:40
cjwatsonthough it might of course be related14:40
davmor2xivulon: No in the older version of ubiquity you first select language then time zone.  The next screen was then for the keyboard which automatically went to english uk and not us14:41
cjwatsondavmor2: that's odd, UK is not the default. What location did you select?14:42
xivulonah no then14:42
davmor2cjwatson: London and english14:42
davmor2and the keyboard it gave me was US14:43
davmor2Once I'd selected English UK everything was fine.14:43
davmor2cjwatson: xivulon:  Would screenshot's help so you know exactly what I'm on about?14:44
evanddavmor2: I follow you and am able to reproduce, so no, I don't think that's necessary14:45
davmor2okay cool :)14:45
xivulondavmor2: I wasn't sure if you where talking about an actual installation issue or about the listbox being preset to the correct value14:51
davmor2np14:51
cjwatsondavmor2: so instead of "automatically went to english uk and not us", you in fact mean "automatically went to english us and not uk"?14:59
davmor2cjwatson_: back now.  Yes sorry.15:49

cjwatsonevand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4844/ is the sort of thing I'm thinking fo16:23
cjwatsonof16:23
evandthose weren't already set appropriately?16:25
cjwatsonthey're set to passthrough-type values16:27
cjwatsonwhereas for noninteractive use something different is probably more appropriate16:27
cjwatsonI'm having a go at reproducing the problem here16:27
evandok16:29
davmor2cjwatson: Is there a fix in place for the ubiquity bugs?  If so will there be another cd uploaded today do you know?16:53
cjwatsondavmor2: no fix yet16:54
cjwatsonI do not know the answer to that question as yet16:54
davmor2Okay no worries I just won't be around for a lot of tomorrow so wondered if there would be a cd I could test tonight or not.  Thanks for the info anyway :)16:55
cjwatsonyeah, sorry, just can't say yet16:56
evandhrm, that proposed fix isn't working for me (placed around the call to ucf --purge /etc/papersize as well)17:26
evandah, nevermind17:27
evandI just caught the #ubuntu-release discussion17:28
evanderm whoops, spoke too soon17:28
cjwatsonheh, yeah, I found out the same thing17:28
cjwatsondid you try out something similar and have it not work?17:29
evandno -- I don't have close_fds=True17:29
cjwatsonI'm not sure that's all that important, it was just a paranoia measure to stop fds being stolen by daemons17:30

CIA-44ubiquity: cjwatson * r2478 ubiquity/ (3 files in 3 dirs):18:15
CIA-44ubiquity: * Disconnect from ubiquity's debconf emulator when reconfiguring packages18:15
CIA-44ubiquity:  and when running ucf; recognise X_LOADTEMPLATEFILE as a valid debconf18:15
CIA-44ubiquity:  command (LP: #193986).18:15
cjwatsonevand: could you take care of uploading that? I have to go out, I'm afraid18:15
evandof course18:16
evandon it now18:16
cjwatsonthanks18:17
evandyou're welcome18:18
CIA-44ubiquity: evand * r2480 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.7.1019:27
bdmurrayevand: I'm thinking about revisiting ubiquity bugs on the 26th will that work for you?20:30
evandbdmurray: for a hug day?20:31
bdmurrayevand: right, sorry for not being clearer20:31
evandquite ok, I assumed so, I just wanted to be sure20:32
evandyes that works well for me20:32
bdmurrayevand: okay great!20:33
xivulon2with latest build I can only boot when I disable acpi AND usplash22:23
xivulon2any hint welcome22:23
xivulon2it james in init.d/udev22:23
xivulon2the acpi issue has always biten me, but strangely enough that would usually create problems in the early stages only22:24
evandnew CDs are up22:42
xivulon2loading22:49
xivulo1evand at the end it goes to shell and asks to remove cd and reboot23:30
xivulo1not sure why it does that23:31
xivulo1grub-installer works well on partitions > 1 :)23:32
xivulo1minor things: the title of the progress dialog in automatic mode is almost always 'Checking installation'23:33
xivulo1the welcome sound is played twice during installation23:33
xivulo1i am in wubi now :D :D23:34
xivulo1thanks evand!23:36
