[01:16] <ryoohki> Zelut: your demo http://zelut.org/projects/misc/ks-test.cfg is working fine( with minor changes for my location) but i need the lvm
[01:16] <Zelut> ryoohki: yeah, LVM gets more complicated if you go outside the pre-built installer suggestions/options.
[01:21] <ryoohki> Zelut: did you see my preseed inclusions in the pastebin? http://pastebin.com/m31722c41 & http://pastebin.com/m1741965
[01:22] <ryoohki> Zelut: is @Base not a vaild choice?  is %Post not available as well?
[01:25] <Zelut> I believe %post is supported but I don't recognize @base
[01:34] <ryoohki> Zelut: actually they both work.  i tried "@ base" instead of "@Base" which, if i remember correctly, works on Centos
[01:35] <ryoohki> Zelut: can the preseed lvm incluse not be made to work?
[01:36] <ryoohki> Zelut: is noone in the world using this and therefore there is no working example?
[01:36] <Zelut> ryoohki: preseed can do lvm but its *MUCH* easier to use one of the pre-built options, like the LVM options you get doing a manual install.
[01:37] <Zelut> ryoohki: I have never preseeded a custom LVM setup.  I've only used the preselected options.
[01:38] <ryoohki> Zelut: i only want 100mb /boot, LVM rest of the disk, swap 2 x ram, and / whatever.  this must be a very common desire - not an odd request at all
[01:39] <Zelut> isn't that one of the pre-offered options in the LVM section of partman?
[01:40] <ryoohki> Zelut: did you see how i was including the preseed lvm in my kickstart?  this is right out of examples pulled from the web - even from ubuntu's own example-preseed.txt
[01:40] <ryoohki> Zelut: i think so
[01:40] <ryoohki> select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
[01:41] <ryoohki> preseed d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition       select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
[01:41] <ryoohki> always stops at this screen no matter what
[01:42] <ryoohki> and asks for my input anyway
[01:43] <ryoohki> Zelut: this preseed stuff is upset easily by spaces btw - one must have the right number of spaces
[02:24] <ryoohki> Zelut: our company runs an apt-proxy so our sources.lists have: http://ourcompany.com:9999/security  and http://ourcompany.com:9999/ubuntu/
[10:33] <GeorgesLeYeti> hello
[10:33] <GeorgesLeYeti> i'm looking to preseed mirroir
[10:33] <GeorgesLeYeti> can we do that with ubiquity ?
[11:47] <davmor2> xivulon: I went to the windbg page and it doesn't seem to list windbg.  Do you have a direct link for it still?
[12:08] <xivulon> http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
[12:09] <xivulon> I submitted a patch for casper though that would allow us to skip ISO extraction alltogether :)
[12:09] <xivulon> I am waiting for evand to come back to see what he thinks of it, but it might be a good solution
[12:10] <xivulon> and as a bonus also addresses DVD compatibility
[12:12] <davmor2> xivulon: I downloaded that but how do I run it for debugging, on the site it says you'll need 2 machines.  windbg isn't a know command or does it apply it's debugging by default?
[12:12] <xivulon> it should launch a GUI debugger, and from there you can attach to a running process or run a new process from scratch
[12:15] <davmor2> right ta
[12:19] <GeorgesLeYeti> i'm looking to preseed the mirror configuration, can we do that with ubiquity ?
[12:45] <evand> xivulon: re 230716> that should be OK, though I don't think it's appropriate for 8.04.1
[12:56] <davmor2> xivulon: The cd2iso.exe dies that minute I add it to windbg and it won't start running if I run it from windbg
[13:32] <xivulon> evand, hi
[13:32] <xivulon> I am not sure the cd2iso can be fixed otherwise
[13:33] <xivulon> I did a bit of googling and the same issues seem to bite almost any ISO extraction tool under the sun...
[13:33] <xivulon> it's likely to be a windows problem
[13:34] <xivulon> the casper changes per se are not invasive I would think, and should have no impact on existing use
[13:40] <evand> but it's ultimately just a new feature (DVD support), and invasive or not, 8.04.1 is for bug fixes.
[13:40] <xivulon> ah no maybe I wasn't clear
[13:41] <xivulon> the main purpos is to avoid the problems with CD ISO extraction
[13:41] <xivulon> bug #207137
[13:42] <xivulon> the idea being to skip ISO extraction alltogether and only copy squashfs
[13:42] <evand> ok, I'll take another look in a bit.
[13:42] <xivulon> but of course I need casper to be able to boot off a given squashfs file
[13:42] <xivulon> the fact that the same fix can also address the DVD issue is a side benefit
[13:42] <xivulon> which doesn't hurt I suppose
[13:42] <xivulon> thx
[13:45] <xivulon> hmmm just occurred to me...
[13:46] <xivulon> ubiquity does not actually need any file other than the squashfs, correct?
[13:47] <xivulon> If so the patch should be enough
[18:10] <ryoohki> Zelut: have you gotten the LVM automated install working yet?
[18:13] <ryoohki> is there a way to select a minimal install? "@ base" goes ahead and installs x and open office on our servers.
[18:47] <HopsNBarley> my automated install works great on an ATA drive.  my mobo also has sata, so i put a sata drive in, removed the ata.  Now the partitioner is failing.  however, i can cat /proc/partitions, read the dmesg and see a drive.   any ideas?
[19:51] <ryoohki> HopsNBarley: what are you using to partion the drive, kickstart or preseed?  also, drive order matters.  are you using sda for the sata drive?
[21:58] <ryoohki> Zelut: are you around today?
[23:42] <HopsNBarley> hi ryoohki - preseed.  is this the problem in my preseed: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/hda
[23:42] <HopsNBarley> ??
[23:43] <HopsNBarley> gotta be - let me rerun it....
[23:48] <ryoohki> HopsNBarley: sata is sda
