[00:02] <bdmurray> cjwatson: okay, thanks
[00:03] <cjwatson> oem-config is a pain to work with because you have to do a full install first, so I tend to lag on dealing with bugs in it
[00:03] <bdmurray> we could test that bug again later this week though right?
[00:06] <cjwatson> I'd prefer to fix it ...
[00:07] <bdmurray> right, I really meant test the fix
[00:07] <cjwatson> sure, just leaves little time to fix it in case it's still broken
[00:11] <bdmurray> I'm happy to test but I thought you said a fix wasn't uploaded yet
[00:14] <cjwatson> it isn't
[00:41] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, i'll have to get back to you tomorrow on the preseeding the keyboard with a current disk.  downloading the last live one took a little longer than anticipated
[00:42] <mario_limonciell> have a good evening :)

[11:13] <xivulon> cjwatson still have ntfsresize biting me... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4763362
[11:14] <xivulon> apparently the virtual image files are there
[11:14] <xivulon> logs are in there too
[11:20] <xivulon> hmm it seems it's my fault
[11:38] <cjwatson> indeed, it looks like root.disk is missing
[11:41] <xivulon> hmm in fact I think the issue is that /target is the wrong partition!!!
[11:42] <xivulon> fstab=/dev/sda1 / ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
[11:43] <xivulon> but he said is installing on J, which is unlikely to be sda1
[11:56] <xivulon> that might happen if he has some leftovers from an old installation (even if it would be strange since that should force an uninstallation first) or a bug
[11:56] <cjwatson> I suppose lupin will pick the wrong disk if /ubuntu/disks happens to exist elsewhere
[11:58] <xivulon> that is what I was thinking (not sure if /ubuntu/disks or /ubuntu/install/*.iso will trigger that)
[12:17] <xivulon> hmm nope apparently he doesn't have another /ubuntu dir
[13:08] <xivulon> cjwatson the partition is set to 1 instead of 10
[13:08] <xivulon> is it possible that it gets truncated at some stage?
[13:20] <xivulon> lupin code seems ok as far as truncation goes
[13:46] <xivulon> cjwatson I bet that explains bug #216161 too, othe than some noise in other reports, the first log also has lots of partitions, and the chap installed on P: but autopartition-loop was set to 1!
[13:46] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 216161 in wubi "wubi, unable to install 8.04 Beta " [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/216161
[13:51] <cjwatson> xivulon: would be nice to know what's in the debconf db
[13:51] <cjwatson> (before the installation starts, if possible)
[13:52] <cjwatson> which would at least partition the problem into before or after lupin
[13:54] <xivulon> I have already asked to grep preseed at break=bottom, which should be equivalent
[13:55] <cjwatson> hmm, looks like it's wrong in debconf
[13:55] <cjwatson> from the shell trace
[13:58] <xivulon> unrelated curious thing from the log: the disk order of the chap alternates among reports...
[13:58] <xivulon> ah might be lupin after all: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4763925#post4763925
[13:58] <cjwatson> it *looks* right
[13:58] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@sarantium ~>$ dev=/dev/sda10
[13:58] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@sarantium ~>$ disk="$(echo "$dev" | sed 's/[0-9]*$//')"
[13:58] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@sarantium ~>$ partn=${dev#${disk}}
[13:58] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@sarantium ~>$ echo "$disk:$partn"
[13:58] <cjwatson> /dev/sda:10
[14:16] <cjwatson> I'm baffled, I've gone over this line-by-line
[14:17] <cjwatson> it's going to need set -x in fix_preseed
[14:20] <xivulon> already asked that ;)
[14:21] <xivulon> I am eally glad the chap is helpful and reasonably competent!
[14:24] <cjwatson> re disk order, it's not terribly deterministic, that's why we use uuids
[14:24] <cjwatson> so I'm not bothered about that
[14:25] <cjwatson> ok, let me know if there's anything I can do; I think this might be RC
[14:25] <xivulon> but do not think uuid help much with groot
[14:25] <xivulon> RC=?
[14:25] <cjwatson> release-critical
[14:25] <xivulon> ah
[14:26] <xivulon> will post as soon as I find anything
[14:27] <evand> yikes
[14:30] <cjwatson> ah, he replied
[14:32] <cjwatson> this doesn't look right ...
[14:35] <cjwatson> xivulon: the new logs don't seem to have set -x output from 30custom_installation (only from the rest of the initramfs); confirm?
[14:38] <xivulon> yeah asked him to repeat :(
[14:59] <xivulon> ah I think I have it
[14:59] <xivulon> mountpoint=$(grep "^${devname}"
[15:00] <xivulon> devname=/dev/sda1 will return a mountpoint on  /dev/sda11
[15:00] <xivulon> in lupin>lupin-helpers
[15:01] <cjwatson> ah yes
[15:01] <cjwatson> I have a meeting now, will get back to you
[15:01] <xivulon> cjwatson I cannot edit that though
[15:02] <xivulon> evand can you take care of that maybe?
[15:02] <cjwatson> just add a space after it, right?
[15:02] <cjwatson> grep "^${devname} "
[15:02] <xivulon> yes
[15:02] <cjwatson> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7769/
[15:03] <xivulon> looks good!
[15:03] <xivulon> sorry for the trouble
[15:04] <evand> any time left to shove in some minor zoommap fixes, or should they wait for .1?
[15:15] <evand> hrm, reading over -release I'll assume it's the latter.
[15:16] <xivulon> evand we should do a few runs of wubi off cd, in stand alone, and with local ISO, since there were a few changes post rc
[15:16] <xivulon> the rev is 493 correct?
[15:17] <evand> 487, I didn't manage to update the symlink to 493 until this morning.
[15:17] <xivulon> arg
[15:17] <evand> but it looks like they'll rebuild the regular CDs
[15:17] <evand> and since wubi isn't used on the DVD, that shouldn't matter
[15:17] <xivulon> ah good
[15:18] <xivulon> so 493 should make it correct?
[15:18] <evand> hopefully
[15:18] <evand> already testing wubi, by the way
[15:18] <xivulon> let me check the changelog
[15:20] <xivulon> nope 493 is required
[15:20] <xivulon> 487 does not contain the new URLs
[15:20] <evand> ah, right
[15:20] <xivulon> might want to consider 494 and 495 at this point too
[15:22] <evand> I just tested 495 and worked fine for me
[15:22] <evand> are you confident in its changes?
[15:22] <xivulon> I have tested them but do another run or 3
[15:22] <evand> will do
[15:23] <xivulon> also please check the URLs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7751/
[15:24] <xivulon> anyone here with windows + few GB free + spare time? Please test wubi 495 off wubi-installer.org with and without a CD (RC will do).
[15:25] <evand> xivulon: asking in #ubuntu-testing might be helpful
[15:25] <xivulon> arg cannot reach that I locked the channel list on my own gciirc server...
[15:25] <xivulon> can you pls ask them?
[15:26] <evand> ah, surely
[15:30] <evand> Ugh at Comcast.  By the time Wubi finishes downloading the ISO, we'll have released Intrepid.
[15:31] <xivulon> You can test with an old ISO
[15:31] <xivulon> all the changes should be on the windows side
[15:32] <cjwatson> xivulon: any way to test this change before we go to the effort of respinning images?
[15:32] <xivulon> you need to download the ISO only for the md5 check on download
[15:34] <xivulon> cjwatson: the lupin one? hmm it's a bit early in the init, we need to use break=mount and sed the file (or copy it over from somewhere)
[15:34] <xivulon> easiest way is to regenerate the initrd with the new change and ask testers to replace theirs with the new one
[15:36] <xivulon> unfortunately all my hooks work after that point
[15:37] <xivulon> can you build a casper initrd and upload it somewhere?
[15:37] <xivulon> testers will have to replace /ubuntu/install/boot/initrd.gz with the new one
[15:37] <cjwatson> not easily in such a way that I'd be confident it's correct ...
[15:37] <cjwatson> hmm, actually, maybe I can
[15:38] <xivulon> before rebooting
[15:38]  * cjwatson fires up a VM
[15:44] <cjwatson> xivulon: could you get somebody to try http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/initrd-lupin-fix.gz ? I think that's right
[15:49] <xivulon> cjwatson: that is i386 correct?
[15:49] <cjwatson> yeah
[15:50] <cjwatson> do you need amd64?
[15:50] <cjwatson> not sure I can construct that as easily
[15:50] <xivulon> don't think it matters
[15:50] <cjwatson> evand: download> London office++
[15:50] <cjwatson> *shlurp*
[15:51] <cjwatson> Mark asked earlier "is somebody downloading ISOs?" upon noticing network lag, so I had to look round guiltily ;)
[15:55] <evand> hahaha
[15:56] <cjwatson> lupin 0.16 uploaded
[16:03] <xivulon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762695
[16:03] <xivulon> also asked bludo to do some last testing
[16:04] <xivulon> hope he is still around
[16:25] <xivulon> cjwatson http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4764771&postcount=40
[16:25] <xivulon> I think it worked, the issue is likely due to the disk order!
[16:26] <evand> xivulon: on r495: davmor2 reported a successful test (without a network connection), I just finished my 4th or 5th test, and am about to give the new initrd a shot.
[16:26] <evand> but I'm going to symlink 495 to stable, looks good
[16:27] <xivulon> can you ask davmor2  to test with CD + connection and without CD + connection?
[16:28] <evand> on without the CD, where do you have to place the ISO to stop it from downloading it again?
[16:40] <xivulon> same folder as wubi.exe
[16:40] <xivulon> evand http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762388
[16:40] <xivulon> do not think it is the old segfault problem
[16:40] <xivulon> it looks more likely that the cd2iso plugin is not compatible somehow with the chap hardware
[16:41] <xivulon> but I will not be able to test that today, unless I have other reports about the same problem
[16:42] <xivulon> will ask hampusw to have a look!
[16:59] <xivulon> ah he was using a dvd...
[17:00] <xivulon> Why is wubi there?
[17:01] <evand> on the dvd?
[17:01] <xivulon> hm no probably he downloaded it separately
[17:01] <xivulon> and run it with the DVD in the tray
[17:01] <xivulon> rev 494 would not have been on the DVD...
[17:01] <evand> haha, you scared me quite a bit there
[17:01] <mib_5zfm2nwp> hello, Ubiquity has support for accessibility?
[17:03] <evand> mib_5zfm2nwp: I'm pretty sure.  TheMuso has some hacks in place to get it working like it did in 7.10.
[17:05] <mib_5zfm2nwp> so ubiquity can work with orca?
[17:07] <evand> It should.  TheMuso, can you confirm?
[17:11] <mib_5zfm2nwp> I would like to modfy the boot of the live cd to make default the assistive technology option (orca). It is possible?
[17:12] <mib_5zfm2nwp> ehm ... sorry for my english :D
[17:12] <cjwatson> sure, put access=v2 in the append lines in /isolinux/isolinux.cfg
[17:13] <cjwatson> (does mean that the accessibility menu in the boot loader will behave a bit weirdly)
[17:14] <mib_5zfm2nwp> Thank you very much!
[17:16] <mib_5zfm2nwp> so I can modify this directly on the livecd without touch casper, right?
[17:18] <xivulon> the new images will have the final .disk/info in, correct?
[17:19] <xivulon> if not where can I get an image with the right .disk/info?
[17:20] <xivulon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762388
[17:20] <xivulon> ^ closed too phew..
[17:33] <cjwatson> mib_5zfm2nwp: yes
[17:33] <cjwatson> mib_5zfm2nwp: that approach has the downside that it won't be checked by default in the boot menu, and if you select a different accessibility boot menu option then I'm not entirely sure what will happen
[18:23] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, using the latest ubiquity (1.8.6), the cn is propagating to /target/etc/default/console-setup via --automatic and noninteractive
[18:24] <cjwatson> excellent
[18:24] <cjwatson> how about oem-config?
[18:25] <cjwatson> (I think that should be fine; the only thing that was wrong there before 1.37 was that the test box didn't work right)
[18:27] <mario_limonciell> i'll see in a few moments.  install failed due to grub idiosyncrasies from using this seed without all the recovery and utility partitioning in place, but that was enough to check out what console setup did in /target
[18:47] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, well i updated oem-config to 1.37 before running oem-config-prepare.  the old file (with the right info on the keyboard) was renamed to /etc/default/console-setup.pre-oem-config before oem-config began
[18:47] <cjwatson> yes
[18:47] <mario_limonciell> so the keyboard still came up as 'us' by default
[18:48] <cjwatson> what language did you select?
[18:48] <mario_limonciell> simplified chinese (which was preseeded properly)
[18:48] <cjwatson> ok, drat
[18:49] <cjwatson> I can't fix this now for release, we just have to trust to the fact that that's something asked to users rather than set automatically
[18:50] <mario_limonciell> really unfortunate with all this other effort that went in to fix that part
[18:50] <cjwatson> may be able to do it in 8.04.1, I'm sure it's not hard
[18:51] <cjwatson> I've milestoned it
[18:51] <mario_limonciell> we'll just have to document it then as broken for this next coming round of machines to those other locales
[19:18] <cr3> cjwatson: by the way, grub seems to be installed very late in the netinstall process. does late command run after grub is installed?
[19:19] <cjwatson> yes, it does
[19:23] <cr3> cjwatson: thanks for the confirmation
[20:51] <xivulon> cjwatson is .disk/info going to change in the final (from the current daily)?
[20:51] <mario_limonciell> xivulon, the UUID in there is generated whenever the squashfs is generated I believe
[20:52] <mario_limonciell> or more particularly when the initramfs is generated
[20:53] <xivulon> I am mostly concerned about non alphanumeric chars as extra spaces, new parenthesis, - ... Since the current parser assumes a given structure
[20:54] <mario_limonciell> xivulon, i've always seen uuidgen spit out only alphanumeric characters
[20:55] <xivulon> hmm .disk/info is not a uuid, it contains distro-name, version, codename, buid-date...
[20:55] <mario_limonciell> oh .disk/info
[20:55] <xivulon> build
[20:55] <mario_limonciell> sorry i was thinking of the casper file in .disk
[20:55] <xivulon> np
[20:55] <mario_limonciell> i'm not sure how that changes :)
[20:56] <xivulon> the parser is one thing I haven't checked against the final string and I am a big Murphy fan!
[20:59] <evand> xivulon: fwiw, the 7.10 final CD had this:
[21:00] <evand> Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" - Release i386 (20071016)
[21:03] <xivulon> umenu assumes that there is 1 space between the distro name and the version
[21:03] <xivulon> if the distro name has 1 space in it ("Kubuntu KDE4"), it will not work
[21:05] <evand> ugh, crossing my fingers on that one.  I think slangasek will kill us if we have to do a rebuild.
[21:06] <xivulon> eh I have been asking for .disk/info for days on several channels...
[21:06] <xivulon> will ask again also on #ubuntu-release
