=== saispo_ is now known as saispo
CIA-1net-retriever: cjwatson * r348 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.21ubuntu108:53
evandcjwatson: Now that pkl is gone, who handles squashfs bugs such as (presumably) bug 199997 ?09:49
cjwatsonevand: cking I think10:13
cjwatsonhe used to work at Phillips with pkl, and got a briefing on it from him back then10:14
xivulondavmor2 have 1 test for you10:56
davmor2Np's what what is it?10:57
xivulonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wubi-move-to-partition10:57
xivulonsudo sh wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda9 /dev/sda1010:57
xivulonThat is a small script to migrate wubi to a dedicated partition10:57
xivulonreplace sda9 with the partition which will host /. replace sda10 with the swap partition (or omit the second argument alltogether)10:58
xivuloni tried yesterday without swap partition and worked for me10:58
davmor2right I'll give it a go 10 minutes or so though just need to finish the bit I'm doing first10:59
xivulonnp10:59
davmor2xivulon: with swap as well it plays up but with just sda6 for main it works11:16
xivulona great it was a quick hack and didn't have time yesterday to test swap :P11:17
xivulondavmor2: you checked you booted to a real partition with mount, correct?11:17
davmor2xivulon: I did wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 and it complained that dev/sda7 wasn't a block device11:17
davmor2yes logging in now11:18
xivulonif [ -n "$swapdev" ] && [ ! -b "$swapdev" ]; then11:19
xivulon^ I guess that is the code that complains11:19
davmor2pass I'm no coder :)11:19
xivulonlogin/reboot are all good?11:20
davmor2how do you check that your on sda6?  Plus it hung at swap but I guess that is due to the issue with no swap variable11:21
xivuloncat /proc/mounts | grep sda611:21
xivulonyou should see / mounted on that11:21
xivulonyou can comment swap in /etc/fstab for the time being11:22
xivulonhem I guess there will be no entry in fstab anyway...11:22
davmor2somethings not right.  I'll setup the system again It may be chaotic I needed to do a xubuntu install along side the vista one about an hour and I'll try again11:24
xivulonok thanks11:25
xivulonevand you might also want to test the script above (in vm add an extra partition or two)12:43
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
=== cr3_ is now known as cr3
davmor2xivulon: right finally back to where I can test.  I just thought do the partitions need to exist already or does the wubi-move... create them?15:11
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
xivulondavmor2: the partitions need to exist15:59
xivulonit does not matter if they are not formatted though15:59
xivulonalso note that the script will override your MBR15:59
xivulonpointing to grub within the new partition (run grub-install and/or grub to restore it after installation)16:00
=== foka_ is now known as foka
davmor2xivulon: okay ta I'll try again :)16:36
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
davmor2xivulon: running now I think that the swap partition was missing last time.  This time I used vista to create 2 extra partitions and now wubi-move seems to be working correctly16:47
xivulondavmor2 can you login/reboot fine? does grep -w / /proc/mounts show that you are onto the dedicated partition?16:58
davmor2there was a grub error 17 at the end of the install :( .  How ever just tried running the script again and it says /dev/sda5 in use ?17:01
xivulondavmor2: yes the script will refuse to install if a partation contains any file (for obvious reasons). So to reinstall run mkfs /dev/sda5 first17:02
xivulonmkfs.ext3 /dev/sda517:03
xivulon(you might need to unmount /tmp/wubit* first)17:03
xivulondavmor2: you might want to append "set -x" at the beginning of the script and in case post the relevant section of the output17:06
xivulondavmor2: pls replace "gdisk=${gdisk#(}" with "gdisk=${gdisk#\(}"17:12
davmor2transferring now :)17:35
davmor2No error code this time :) rebooting now17:41
davmor2xivulon: That's done it grub has kicked in now :)17:42
xivulondavmor2: let me know if it is all good17:42
xivulonthat was using ${gdisk#\(} correct?17:43
davmor2sda5 is mounted on /17:46
davmor2 :)17:46
xivulongreat your the second human being having migrated wubi 8.04 to real partition17:46
davmor2I used gparted to be sure :)17:46
davmor2xivulon: I'll just run vista now and make sure that isn't screwed :)17:47
xivulonWould be cool to run the migration tool from add/remove programs "Remove Windows" :)17:48
davmor2just use gparted ;)17:48
xivulonnot as kool17:48
xivulonjust kidding17:49
davmor2xivulon: Vista is okay too :(17:49
xivulonI can add a couple of lines to the script to fix that too :)17:49
davmor2:D17:49
davmor2Right I'm off now any way have a good night :)17:50
xivulon(for the record) thx davmor217:51
