[01:07] <xivulon> evand wubi-installer.org has been updated for 8.04
[04:57] <evand> james_w: Adding grub-installer to pkg-lists/netboot/common includes a modified version for me.
[06:29] <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?
[06:30] <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"
[06:31] <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.
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <james_w> thanks
[15:03] <james_w> ha, I think I've found a bug in grub-install at the same time.
[15:04] <james_w> I'm testing it again to be sure.
[15:57] <grrrreg> hi
[15:58] <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 ?
[15:59] <grrrreg> (with gutsy installer)
[16:09] <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.
[16:10] <mario_limonciell> well before you do manage rebuild it, would you mind adding gawk back into the seeds since it got taken out ?
[16:11] <evand> any idea why it was removed?
[16:12] <mario_limonciell> slangasek said in -devel, let me check my log what it was
[16:13] <mario_limonciell> T 1206503266 slangase	mario_limonciell: there's been a change to the contents of DVD images, yes - you needed gawk?
[16:13] <mario_limonciell> T 1206503295 slangase	mario_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
[16:14] <mario_limonciell> thanks
[16:48] <james_w> I've convinced myself that my patch works, but that something else is broken.
[16:49] <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.
[16:50] <james_w> is there an easy way to work this out that doesn't involve another install?
[16:51] <james_w> I should have loaded up on the debugging statements when I suspected this.
[16:52] <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.
[16:56] <evand> hrm, don't you need a quit in there?
[16:59] <james_w> I didn't change it.
[16:59] <james_w> it does the right thing on the running system.
[16:59] <evand> hrm.
[17:01] <james_w> is it possible that one of grub grep or cut are not available?
[17:17] <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 ....'?
[17:24] <evand> mario_limonciell: that's my understanding.
[17:25] <mario_limonciell> evand, okay i'll make the adjustments necessary on our end.
[17:25] <mario_limonciell> thx
[17:34] <evand> james_w: they should all be there
[17:35] <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.
[17:36] <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
[17:41] <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.
[17:43] <evand> indeed, that can be quite frustrating.
[18:23] <james_w> 'echo -e "md5crypt\n$password" | grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null 2>&1 >>/tmp/menu.lst.password2 || true'
[18:24] <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
[18:27] <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.
[19:28] <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.
[19:29] <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.
[20:40] <mario_limonciell> evand, it would appear that the selected language isn't carried over to the resultant system from the noninteractive frontend
[20:41] <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
[20:45] <evand> hrmm
[20:46] <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
[20:49] <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/
[20:50] <evand> mario_limonciell: thanks, noted
[21:14] <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
[22:02] <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?
[22:03] <xivulon> none of that is a new feature
[22:07] <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.
[22:08] <xivulon> Does that ring any bell?
[22:21] <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.
[22:23] <xivulon> I was afraid that was the case
[22:29] <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]
[22:44] <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.
[22:49] <xivulon> thx TheMuso
