[10:07] <xivulon> Can you please confirm the url of the new point release dailys vs url for intrepid daily builds?
[10:07] <xivulon> is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ assigned to hardy dailys or is it going to change soon?
[10:08] <xivulon> at the moment I have http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live within wubi, but that is not up yet
[10:12] <cjwatson> xivulon: it will be http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ - /daily-live/current/ will become intrepid
[10:12] <cjwatson> (I said the same thing a week or two back)
[10:13] <xivulon> cjwatson, just doublechecking, since when I checked the url was still the old way. Your recommendation has already been committed
[10:14] <xivulon> any idea when the url will change?
[10:14] <cjwatson> none, as I said last time check that sort of thing with slangaselk
[10:14] <cjwatson> slangasek
[10:14] <xivulon> ok will do, thanks
[10:15] <cjwatson> I think he was going to start it up RSN
[10:15]  * xivulon looks up RSN
[10:15] <xivulon> ah
[10:45] <ganes> is there any relation between casper package & kernel
[10:46] <ganes> kernel is running on liveinitramfs-tools, now i installed casper it is not working
[11:36] <davmor2> xivulon: how's things?
[12:46] <xivulon> hi davmor2!
[12:46] <davmor2> xivulon: How's things in wubi world now?
[12:46] <xivulon> all good, been on holidays a few days, missed all the gpg fun
[12:47] <xivulon> most bugs have fixes committed
[12:47] <davmor2> not gpg ssh key
[12:47] <xivulon> I still cannot figure out the CD ISO extraction
[12:47] <xivulon> but I might have a workaround
[12:47] <davmor2> xivulon: cool any testing you need running let me know okay#
[12:48] <xivulon> thanks, I am waiting for the new ISO url to settle, then we will start again
[12:48] <xivulon> cjwatson, on the CD ISO extraction, I was thinking of only extracting squashfs instead of using our ISO mechanism
[12:49] <xivulon> that should be enought to run ubiquity, correct?
[12:53] <xivulon> downside is that it would be a bit of a special case and code changes might be too invasive
[12:54] <xivulon> davmor2: did you ever try to run the hampus cd2iso program under tracing tools?
[12:54] <xivulon> such as windbg
[12:55] <davmor2> xivulon: No I never got chance I'll do it latter for you
[12:56] <xivulon> that would be nice, thanks
[13:52] <xivulon> well to answer my own question, casper can boot off a squashfs file only if it is in /casper/*.squashfs
[13:55] <xivulon> that would require editing casper > check_dev
[13:56] <xivulon> evand how do you feel about ^ ?
[13:58] <xivulon> once we are at it would it be possible to fix casper-helpers > find_cow_devices (see FIXME)
[14:06] <xivulon> bug #230703
[14:07] <xivulon> evand can I assign it to you? the change should be simple
[14:24] <xivulon> evand see also bug #230716
[15:15] <xivulon> evand as mentioned in my last comment to #207137 I start doubting that the issue can be fixed at all, and #230716 seems to be the only clean alternative.
[15:17] <xivulon> ps how big is the squashfs in a DVD? that might allow us to support DVDs as well
[15:19] <xivulon> it might make it more difficult to support alternate ISOs later on though
[19:00] <ryoohki> does anyone have a working pxe install for server?  i can't get a a vanilla install - base packages + /boot & lvm( swap / )
[19:00] <ryoohki> i mean ubuntu 8.04 server amd64
[19:12] <Zelut> ryoohki: I do pxe installs pretty regularly, sure.
[19:16] <ryoohki> Zelut: great thanks!  no matter what i do - it always stops at the partman step
[19:18] <ryoohki> Zelut: would you post a simple generic working one to a pastebin?
[20:03] <Zelut> ryoohki: give me half-hour or so.. just getting lunch.
[20:37] <ryoohki> Zelut: have a good lunch
[20:37] <ryoohki> Zelut: thank you
[20:50] <Zelut> ryoohki: ok, does this help? http://pastebin.ca/1019358
[20:50] <Zelut> ryoohki: I don't know why yours would crash on partman.. that's basically what I use all the time to setup the pxe and its reliable..
[21:06] <ryoohki> Zelut: it doesn't crash; it halts and waits for input - so it's not automated
[21:08] <Zelut> ryoohki: well the automation stuff is a whole other story.  I thought you just needed PXE setup
[21:08] <ryoohki> Zelut: this is all stuff i've already gotten past
[21:09] <Zelut> ryoohki: so I suppose a more accurate request would have been for a working preseed/kickstart setup in pastebin, not a PXE setup.
[21:10] <ryoohki> Zelut: i need to automate the install of ubuntu 8.04 server amd64 but it always hangs at the partman step and waits for input even if i specify with preseed to whip the disk and install /boot with LVM( swap + / )
[21:12] <ryoohki> Zelut: it's pretty clear to, myself, at least, that's what a pxe install is - everywhere else but ubuntu - i think it's because noone has it working
[21:12] <Zelut> pxe does not have to be automated though. pxe is a different monster from automated installation.
[21:13] <Zelut> i use pxe regularly and do manual installs (and automated), but referring to pxe and assuming automation would be incorrect.
[21:15] <ryoohki> Zelut: when i say "pxe install" i don't mean "pxe boot"
[21:15] <Zelut> i realize that, but a pxe-initiated install can still be a manual install process.. but at this point we're just arguing semantics.
[21:16] <Zelut> I don't have a working kickstart for lvm with me now but I can try to put one together later today..
[21:16] <ryoohki> Zelut: afaik the whole point of these tools is to select netboot via a console/ilom and walk away - i can't imagine any other thing
[21:16] <ryoohki> Zelut: i appreciate it
[21:17] <ryoohki> Zelut: if you would pastebin it for me that would be good, and even better if later you would add it to you webpage( which i had already found and read)
[21:17] <ryoohki> Zelut: let me pastebin what i have and is not working
[21:17] <Zelut> I'll see what I can do
