evand | cjwatson: Now that pkl is gone, who handles squashfs bugs such as (presumably) bug 199997 ? | 09:49 |
cjwatson | evand: cking I think | 10:13 |
cjwatson | he used to work at Phillips with pkl, and got a briefing on it from him back then | 10:14 |
xivulon | davmor2 have 1 test for you | 10:56 |
davmor2 | Np's what what is it? | 10:57 |
xivulon | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wubi-move-to-partition | 10:57 |
xivulon | sudo sh wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 | 10:57 |
xivulon | That is a small script to migrate wubi to a dedicated partition | 10:57 |
xivulon | replace sda9 with the partition which will host /. replace sda10 with the swap partition (or omit the second argument alltogether) | 10:58 |
xivulon | i tried yesterday without swap partition and worked for me | 10:58 |
davmor2 | right I'll give it a go 10 minutes or so though just need to finish the bit I'm doing first | 10:59 |
xivulon | np | 10:59 |
davmor2 | xivulon: with swap as well it plays up but with just sda6 for main it works | 11:16 |
xivulon | a great it was a quick hack and didn't have time yesterday to test swap :P | 11:17 |
xivulon | davmor2: you checked you booted to a real partition with mount, correct? | 11:17 |
davmor2 | xivulon: I did wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 and it complained that dev/sda7 wasn't a block device | 11:17 |
davmor2 | yes logging in now | 11:18 |
xivulon | if [ -n "$swapdev" ] && [ ! -b "$swapdev" ]; then | 11:19 |
xivulon | ^ I guess that is the code that complains | 11:19 |
davmor2 | pass I'm no coder :) | 11:19 |
xivulon | login/reboot are all good? | 11:20 |
davmor2 | how do you check that your on sda6? Plus it hung at swap but I guess that is due to the issue with no swap variable | 11:21 |
xivulon | cat /proc/mounts | grep sda6 | 11:21 |
xivulon | you should see / mounted on that | 11:21 |
xivulon | you can comment swap in /etc/fstab for the time being | 11:22 |
xivulon | hem I guess there will be no entry in fstab anyway... | 11:22 |
davmor2 | somethings 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 again | 11:24 |
xivulon | ok thanks | 11:25 |
xivulon | evand 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 | ||
davmor2 | xivulon: 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 | ||
xivulon | davmor2: the partitions need to exist | 15:59 |
xivulon | it does not matter if they are not formatted though | 15:59 |
xivulon | also note that the script will override your MBR | 15:59 |
xivulon | pointing 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 | ||
davmor2 | xivulon: okay ta I'll try again :) | 16:36 |
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt | ||
davmor2 | xivulon: 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 correctly | 16:47 |
xivulon | davmor2 can you login/reboot fine? does grep -w / /proc/mounts show that you are onto the dedicated partition? | 16:58 |
davmor2 | there 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 |
xivulon | davmor2: yes the script will refuse to install if a partation contains any file (for obvious reasons). So to reinstall run mkfs /dev/sda5 first | 17:02 |
xivulon | mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5 | 17:03 |
xivulon | (you might need to unmount /tmp/wubit* first) | 17:03 |
xivulon | davmor2: you might want to append "set -x" at the beginning of the script and in case post the relevant section of the output | 17:06 |
xivulon | davmor2: pls replace "gdisk=${gdisk#(}" with "gdisk=${gdisk#\(}" | 17:12 |
davmor2 | transferring now :) | 17:35 |
davmor2 | No error code this time :) rebooting now | 17:41 |
davmor2 | xivulon: That's done it grub has kicked in now :) | 17:42 |
xivulon | davmor2: let me know if it is all good | 17:42 |
xivulon | that was using ${gdisk#\(} correct? | 17:43 |
davmor2 | sda5 is mounted on / | 17:46 |
davmor2 | :) | 17:46 |
xivulon | great your the second human being having migrated wubi 8.04 to real partition | 17:46 |
davmor2 | I used gparted to be sure :) | 17:46 |
davmor2 | xivulon: I'll just run vista now and make sure that isn't screwed :) | 17:47 |
xivulon | Would be cool to run the migration tool from add/remove programs "Remove Windows" :) | 17:48 |
davmor2 | just use gparted ;) | 17:48 |
xivulon | not as kool | 17:48 |
xivulon | just kidding | 17:49 |
davmor2 | xivulon: Vista is okay too :( | 17:49 |
xivulon | I can add a couple of lines to the script to fix that too :) | 17:49 |
davmor2 | :D | 17:49 |
davmor2 | Right I'm off now any way have a good night :) | 17:50 |
xivulon | (for the record) thx davmor2 | 17:51 |
