[08:38] net-retriever: cjwatson * r347 ubuntu/debian/ (63 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.21 === saispo_ is now known as saispo [08:53] net-retriever: cjwatson * r348 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.21ubuntu1 [09:49] cjwatson: Now that pkl is gone, who handles squashfs bugs such as (presumably) bug 199997 ? [10:13] evand: cking I think [10:14] he used to work at Phillips with pkl, and got a briefing on it from him back then [10:56] davmor2 have 1 test for you [10:57] Np's what what is it? [10:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wubi-move-to-partition [10:57] sudo sh wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 [10:57] That is a small script to migrate wubi to a dedicated partition [10:58] replace sda9 with the partition which will host /. replace sda10 with the swap partition (or omit the second argument alltogether) [10:58] i tried yesterday without swap partition and worked for me [10:59] right I'll give it a go 10 minutes or so though just need to finish the bit I'm doing first [10:59] np [11:16] xivulon: with swap as well it plays up but with just sda6 for main it works [11:17] a great it was a quick hack and didn't have time yesterday to test swap :P [11:17] davmor2: you checked you booted to a real partition with mount, correct? [11:17] xivulon: I did wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 and it complained that dev/sda7 wasn't a block device [11:18] yes logging in now [11:19] if [ -n "$swapdev" ] && [ ! -b "$swapdev" ]; then [11:19] ^ I guess that is the code that complains [11:19] pass I'm no coder :) [11:20] login/reboot are all good? [11:21] 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] cat /proc/mounts | grep sda6 [11:21] you should see / mounted on that [11:22] you can comment swap in /etc/fstab for the time being [11:22] hem I guess there will be no entry in fstab anyway... [11:24] 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 [11:25] ok thanks [12:43] evand you might also want to test the script above (in vm add an extra partition or two) === mpt_ is now known as mpt === cr3_ is now known as cr3 [15:11] 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? === mpt_ is now known as mpt [15:59] davmor2: the partitions need to exist [15:59] it does not matter if they are not formatted though [15:59] also note that the script will override your MBR [16:00] pointing to grub within the new partition (run grub-install and/or grub to restore it after installation) === foka_ is now known as foka [16:36] xivulon: okay ta I'll try again :) === mpt_ is now known as mpt [16:47] 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 [16:58] davmor2 can you login/reboot fine? does grep -w / /proc/mounts show that you are onto the dedicated partition? [17:01] 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 ? [17:02] 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 [17:03] mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5 [17:03] (you might need to unmount /tmp/wubit* first) [17:06] davmor2: you might want to append "set -x" at the beginning of the script and in case post the relevant section of the output [17:12] davmor2: pls replace "gdisk=${gdisk#(}" with "gdisk=${gdisk#\(}" [17:35] transferring now :) [17:41] No error code this time :) rebooting now [17:42] xivulon: That's done it grub has kicked in now :) [17:42] davmor2: let me know if it is all good [17:43] that was using ${gdisk#\(} correct? [17:46] sda5 is mounted on / [17:46] :) [17:46] great your the second human being having migrated wubi 8.04 to real partition [17:46] I used gparted to be sure :) [17:47] xivulon: I'll just run vista now and make sure that isn't screwed :) [17:48] Would be cool to run the migration tool from add/remove programs "Remove Windows" :) [17:48] just use gparted ;) [17:48] not as kool [17:49] just kidding [17:49] xivulon: Vista is okay too :( [17:49] I can add a couple of lines to the script to fix that too :) [17:49] :D [17:50] Right I'm off now any way have a good night :) [17:51] (for the record) thx davmor2 [23:22] partman-auto: cjwatson * r265 ubuntu/ (81 files in 8 dirs): merge from Debian 78 [23:29] partman-auto: cjwatson * r266 ubuntu/debian/po/ (am.po mr.po): msgmerge [23:41] partman-auto: cjwatson * r267 ubuntu/automatically_partition/resize_use_free/ (choices do_option): indentation [23:43] partman-auto: cjwatson * r268 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 78ubuntu1
