| evand | james_w: Adding grub-installer to pkg-lists/netboot/common includes a modified version for me. | 04:57 |
| twb | Hey fellas, any idea why, after upgrading my casper-based netboot system from 2.6.24-11 to 2.6.24-12, the unionfs mount fails? | 06:29 |
| twb | The ro NFS /cdrom mount is working and the tmpfs /cow is present, but it fails with "Mounting unionfs of /root failed: No such device" | 06:30 |
| twb | Has unionfs been split out into a separate package since -11 or something? | 06:31 |
| twb | Never mind, it *is* a separate package and I failed to upgrade it. | 06:31 |
| james_w | evand: thanks for confirming. It seems I need to clean before building for it to pick it up and include it in the image | 07:23 |
| james_w | at least, it's in the manifest this time, so fingers crossed. | 07:23 |
| evand | best of luck | 07:23 |
| james_w | thanks | 07:24 |
| james_w | ha, I think I've found a bug in grub-install at the same time. | 15:03 |
| james_w | I'm testing it again to be sure. | 15:04 |
| grrrreg | hi | 15:57 |
| grrrreg | I'm trying to install dmidecode-udeb with anna, but anna doesn't seem to know how to fetch from universe | 15:58 |
| grrrreg | is there a preseed trick to do this ? | 15:58 |
| grrrreg | (with gutsy installer) | 15:59 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, it unfortunately looks like ubiquity 1.8.1 wasn't included in the live dvd from yesterday :( http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/dvd/20080325/hardy-dvd-i386.manifest | 16:09 |
| evand | mario_limonciell: I've been trying to get to cdimage to build a new dvd but the Internet is not cooperating. | 16:09 |
| mario_limonciell | oh i see. | 16:09 |
| mario_limonciell | well before you do manage rebuild it, would you mind adding gawk back into the seeds since it got taken out ? | 16:10 |
| evand | any idea why it was removed? | 16:11 |
| mario_limonciell | slangasek said in -devel, let me check my log what it was | 16:12 |
| mario_limonciell | T 1206503266 slangasemario_limonciell: there's been a change to the contents of DVD images, yes - you needed gawk? | 16:13 |
| mario_limonciell | T 1206503295 slangasemario_limonciell: we can probably get gawk added back, I think - the change is that the DVD no longer ships .debs for all of the supported seed, to make room for a much-expanded livefs with full translations | 16:13 |
| evand | ah | 16:13 |
| mario_limonciell | i responded to him this morning, but he was afk, so if you can squeeze that before it gets generated, that'd be great | 16:13 |
| evand | will do | 16:13 |
| mario_limonciell | thanks | 16:14 |
| james_w | I've convinced myself that my patch works, but that something else is broken. | 16:48 |
| evand | yikes, what's the problem? | 16:49 |
| james_w | in particular the command to encrypt the password returns the empty string. | 16:49 |
| james_w | I've put debugging in, and the correct uncrypted password is used, but nothing is then set for the password. | 16:49 |
| james_w | is there an easy way to work this out that doesn't involve another install? | 16:50 |
| james_w | I should have loaded up on the debugging statements when I suspected this. | 16:51 |
| james_w | password=$(echo -e "md5crypt\n$password" | \ | 16:52 |
| james_w | grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null 2>&1 | \ | 16:52 |
| james_w | grep "^Encrypted:" | cut -d' ' -f2) | 16:52 |
| james_w | that's what returns nothing. | 16:52 |
| evand | hrm, don't you need a quit in there? | 16:56 |
| james_w | I didn't change it. | 16:59 |
| james_w | it does the right thing on the running system. | 16:59 |
| evand | hrm. | 16:59 |
| james_w | is it possible that one of grub grep or cut are not available? | 17:01 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, with ubiquity 1.8.1 on the DVD (updated while booted), it appears a very large number of packages are removed, most being locale stuff, I'm assuming a lot of that will go away by seeding 'd-i pkgsel/language-packs string ....'? | 17:17 |
| evand | mario_limonciell: that's my understanding. | 17:24 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, okay i'll make the adjustments necessary on our end. | 17:25 |
| mario_limonciell | thx | 17:25 |
| evand | james_w: they should all be there | 17:34 |
| james_w | evand: it was a long shot | 17:35 |
| james_w | I've just kicked off another install to find out what's going wrong. | 17:35 |
| evand | slangasek added quilt back, still trying to connect to any of the canonical servers. | 17:35 |
| james_w | do you use preseed to control your test installs? | 17:35 |
| james_w | I would have thought it would get pretty boring otherwise. | 17:35 |
| evand | I'm pulling down a new alternate CD to see if I can be of any help here, as the one I have is slightly broken. | 17:36 |
| evand | that would be a smart thing to do, though I generally just hit enter a lot | 17:36 |
| james_w | I guess it might be as much work to keep changing it for all the different things you do. | 17:41 |
| james_w | I don't like having to keep an eye on it as I do other things, because it slows it down while it waits for me. | 17:41 |
| evand | indeed, that can be quite frustrating. | 17:43 |
| james_w | 'echo -e "md5crypt\n$password" | grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null 2>&1 >>/tmp/menu.lst.password2 || true' | 18:23 |
| james_w | I put that in grub-install, and then added the file to menu.lst, and it showed that it printed nothing. | 18:24 |
| james_w | the password is printed ok, but grub just outputs nothing | 18:24 |
| james_w | unfortunately something went screwy with the other VTs after grub-install, so I couldn't debug there, I've added more debugging output, and I'm going to try again and try to get a proper terminal. | 18:27 |
| james_w | ok, grub isnt' installed when grub-installer does it's thing | 19:28 |
| james_w | yet it doesn't complain. | 19:28 |
| james_w | I've got a proper shell this time | 19:28 |
| james_w | I'll just wait until I can get some tips on diagnosing why grub isn't there. | 19:28 |
| CIA-24 | ubiquity: evand * r2590 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/noninteractive.py): | 19:29 |
| CIA-24 | ubiquity: * Treat the dbfilter returning nonzero as a fatal error in the | 19:29 |
| CIA-24 | ubiquity: noninteractive frontend. | 19:29 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, it would appear that the selected language isn't carried over to the resultant system from the noninteractive frontend | 20:40 |
| mario_limonciell | debian-installer/language doesn't seem to have any value set, but is just owned by oem-config | 20:41 |
| mario_limonciell | same with locale | 20:41 |
| evand | hrmm | 20:45 |
| evand | mario_limonciell: ok, I'll take a look after I get back from grocery shopping. Currently in the middle of coding. | 20:46 |
| mario_limonciell | k | 20:46 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, these are the applicable preseed strings that we were using when you get a chance to look later: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6113/ | 20:49 |
| evand | mario_limonciell: thanks, noted | 20:50 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, for some more empirical data, if I boot into single user mode before oem config gets ahold of those keys, I can set them manually and they come up in the right language when oem config comes up | 21:14 |
| xivulon | evand what do we do with featurefreeze? I have a few more bugs in my way.... Do we seek approval for the pending changes and then do another request later on? | 22:02 |
| xivulon | none of that is a new feature | 22:03 |
| xivulon | also had some reports of problems with raid 0 (software and hardware) and it is not possible to mount partitions therein in the initrd. | 22:07 |
| xivulon | Does that ring any bell? | 22:08 |
| TheMuso | xivulon: Wubi installs sittingh on Windows RAID are likely not to work at all. | 22:21 |
| TheMuso | Since they are likely using fakeraid which Ubuntu doesn't have proper support for yet. | 22:21 |
| xivulon | I was afraid that was the case | 22:23 |
| xivulon | what exactly is the status of dmraid? I have a user mentioning manual intervention https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/206746/comments/1 | 22:29 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 206746 in wubi "Wubi does not work on raid 0" [Medium,Confirmed] | 22:29 |
| TheMuso | xivulon: Well it won't be in hardy, as it is nowhere near ready for use in an LTS. | 22:44 |
| TheMuso | It lacks many features needed for good RAID management. | 22:44 |
| xivulon | thx TheMuso | 22:49 |
| TheMuso | np | 22:51 |
