[01:07] evand wubi-installer.org has been updated for 8.04 [04:57] james_w: Adding grub-installer to pkg-lists/netboot/common includes a modified version for me. [06:29] 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] 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] Has unionfs been split out into a separate package since -11 or something? [06:31] Never mind, it *is* a separate package and I failed to upgrade it. [07:23] 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] at least, it's in the manifest this time, so fingers crossed. [07:23] best of luck [07:24] thanks [15:03] ha, I think I've found a bug in grub-install at the same time. [15:04] I'm testing it again to be sure. [15:57] hi [15:58] I'm trying to install dmidecode-udeb with anna, but anna doesn't seem to know how to fetch from universe [15:58] is there a preseed trick to do this ? [15:59] (with gutsy installer) [16:09] 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] mario_limonciell: I've been trying to get to cdimage to build a new dvd but the Internet is not cooperating. [16:09] oh i see. [16:10] well before you do manage rebuild it, would you mind adding gawk back into the seeds since it got taken out ? [16:11] any idea why it was removed? [16:12] slangasek said in -devel, let me check my log what it was [16:13] T 1206503266 slangase mario_limonciell: there's been a change to the contents of DVD images, yes - you needed gawk? [16:13] 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] ah [16:13] 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] will do [16:14] thanks [16:48] I've convinced myself that my patch works, but that something else is broken. [16:49] yikes, what's the problem? [16:49] in particular the command to encrypt the password returns the empty string. [16:49] I've put debugging in, and the correct uncrypted password is used, but nothing is then set for the password. [16:50] is there an easy way to work this out that doesn't involve another install? [16:51] I should have loaded up on the debugging statements when I suspected this. [16:52] password=$(echo -e "md5crypt\n$password" | \ [16:52] grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null 2>&1 | \ [16:52] grep "^Encrypted:" | cut -d' ' -f2) [16:52] that's what returns nothing. [16:56] hrm, don't you need a quit in there? [16:59] I didn't change it. [16:59] it does the right thing on the running system. [16:59] hrm. [17:01] is it possible that one of grub grep or cut are not available? [17:17] 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] mario_limonciell: that's my understanding. [17:25] evand, okay i'll make the adjustments necessary on our end. [17:25] thx [17:34] james_w: they should all be there [17:35] evand: it was a long shot [17:35] I've just kicked off another install to find out what's going wrong. [17:35] slangasek added quilt back, still trying to connect to any of the canonical servers. [17:35] do you use preseed to control your test installs? [17:35] I would have thought it would get pretty boring otherwise. [17:36] 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] that would be a smart thing to do, though I generally just hit enter a lot [17:41] I guess it might be as much work to keep changing it for all the different things you do. [17:41] 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] indeed, that can be quite frustrating. [18:23] 'echo -e "md5crypt\n$password" | grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null 2>&1 >>/tmp/menu.lst.password2 || true' [18:24] I put that in grub-install, and then added the file to menu.lst, and it showed that it printed nothing. [18:24] the password is printed ok, but grub just outputs nothing [18:27] 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] ok, grub isnt' installed when grub-installer does it's thing [19:28] yet it doesn't complain. [19:28] I've got a proper shell this time [19:28] I'll just wait until I can get some tips on diagnosing why grub isn't there. [19:29] ubiquity: evand * r2590 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/noninteractive.py): [19:29] ubiquity: * Treat the dbfilter returning nonzero as a fatal error in the [19:29] ubiquity: noninteractive frontend. [20:40] evand, it would appear that the selected language isn't carried over to the resultant system from the noninteractive frontend [20:41] debian-installer/language doesn't seem to have any value set, but is just owned by oem-config [20:41] same with locale [20:45] hrmm [20:46] mario_limonciell: ok, I'll take a look after I get back from grocery shopping. Currently in the middle of coding. [20:46] k [20:49] 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] mario_limonciell: thanks, noted [21:14] 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] 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] none of that is a new feature [22:07] 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] Does that ring any bell? [22:21] xivulon: Wubi installs sittingh on Windows RAID are likely not to work at all. [22:21] Since they are likely using fakeraid which Ubuntu doesn't have proper support for yet. [22:23] I was afraid that was the case [22:29] 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] Launchpad bug 206746 in wubi "Wubi does not work on raid 0" [Medium,Confirmed] [22:44] xivulon: Well it won't be in hardy, as it is nowhere near ready for use in an LTS. [22:44] It lacks many features needed for good RAID management. [22:49] thx TheMuso [22:51] np
