| xivulon | cjwatson, this is the logs after changing the preseed.cfg as indicated: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5064763&postcount=39 | 00:10 |

| cjwatson | argh why do people insist on using sendspace | 00:12 |
| cjwatson | May 28 20:27:23 ubuntu partman-auto-loop: Error: Partition number 5 not found in /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda | 00:12 |
| cjwatson | which appears to be because libparted doesn't recognise any partitions at all on /dev/sda | 00:13 |
| cjwatson | I need the output of 'sudo od -tx1 -Ax -N512 /dev/sda' from a terminal window on the live CD | 00:13 |
| cjwatson | (extract hex dump of boot sector, including partition table | 00:14 |
| cjwatson | ) | 00:14 |
| cjwatson | sounds like it could conceivably be a bug I just fixed in parted, but it might be something else | 00:14 |
| cjwatson | I'll post a followup | 00:17 |
| cjwatson | I hate bug reports in forums threads, the only way I can get decent mail notifications is to sign up for a horrendous amount of junk mail, and everyone attaches files in crazy ways | 00:18 |
| TheMuso | cjwatson: Thats why I try and avoid forums altogether. :p IMO they are not efficient for any form of development/bug workflow. | 00:21 |
| superm1 | TheMuso, the problem is sometimes users aren't willing (or able in some cases) to learn how to use launchpad. I've learned this the hard way with mythbuntu as i suspect xivulon has encountered with wubi. once you start to get a non technical audience involved, you have to walk them through a lot, and suddenly throwing them into oh please file a bug against X package at this brand new website that you have to register for and then keep | 04:57 |
| superm1 | up on bug mail... | 04:57 |
| superm1 | yeah | 04:57 |
| TheMuso | This is true. | 05:01 |
| SATA | can anybody explain how the debian-installer works in ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| SATA | can anybody explain how the debian-installer works in ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| soren | SATA: You fill in the blanks, click next a few times, and you're done. | 08:30 |
| SATA | soren, I could'nt get you? | 08:30 |
| soren | You put in the CD, you answer the questions, and that's it. | 08:31 |
| SATA | soren, can you clearify? | 08:32 |
| SATA | soren, I couldnt get you. | 08:32 |
| soren | Which part is unclear? | 08:32 |
| SATA | soren, i placed my kernel in extra section. I created a iso. | 08:32 |
| SATA | soren,: which cd are you talking about? | 08:33 |
| soren | server. | 08:33 |
| SATA | yea | 08:33 |
| SATA | soren, what should i do to install the customized kernel by default. | 08:34 |
| soren | Depends. | 08:35 |
| soren | Changing the preseed to choose your kernel might be a good start. | 08:35 |
| SATA | how? I just added another kernel in /pool/extra/... section . I tried to change the preseed file, But how. what should i write in place of linux-server? | 08:36 |
| SATA | this is the line for kernel: d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-server | 08:38 |
| SATA | soren, any hint? | 08:39 |
| soren | What's your kernel image called? | 08:40 |
| SATA | linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz_2.6.24-16.30_i386.deb | 08:41 |
| SATA | I downloaded it from http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz_2.6.24-16.30_i386.deb | 08:41 |
| soren | Then put d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-image-2.6.24-16-openvz | 08:41 |
| SATA | thanx | 08:42 |
| SATA | soren, can you help me to add package's for automatic installation during the installation from cd. | 09:26 |
| SATA | for server-cd | 09:26 |
| soren | You should look at the example preseed file. It has examples for that sort of thing. | 09:29 |
| SATA | soren, ok | 09:34 |

| * cjwatson worries that https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/235998/comments/4 sounds like me trying to socially-engineer the bug reporter into extracting sensitive data from his disk for me, but there's not much I can do about that :( | 17:54 | |
| cjwatson | "hi, please run this incomprehensible command for me" | 17:54 |
| evand | heh | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | how is 8.04.1 going for you? I have been sucked into low-level bug-fixing for the last couple of days and have not been able to pay attention to it all | 17:58 |
| mario_limonciell | geez, where' d that number come from? 193478656 seems rather arbitrary | 17:58 |
| cjwatson | it's 00 40 88 0b (offset 01e6 in their boot sector) interpreted as little-endian | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | the extended partition table isn't at a fixed location on the disk - it's just wherever the logical partitions it contains happen to fall | 18:00 |
| evand | If they're from the forums, they're used to running random commands that people throw at them. | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | 01e2 in the boot sector is 0x0f, which is the LBA extended partition type | 18:00 |
| evand | cjwatson: fairly well. I've mostly been handling Wubi fixes, but as I've now got those all in I can focus on helping in other areas of the milestone list. | 18:01 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, i'm hoping you had to refer to a guide that indicated what the different parts of the boot sector represented. if you knew off the top of your head what that offset referred to, that's just scary :) | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | I referred to libparted's code | 18:02 |
| mario_limonciell | ah okay. that's much more sane | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | though after you've read a few boot sector dumps it's fairly easy to see; the partition table is the first 64 bytes out of the last 66 (the last 2 are the 55 aa magic number), in 16-byte blocks | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | so it lines up nicely in od output | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | evand: do you have anything else that goes in d-i initrds that you're planning to upload? | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | I'll need to organise a d-i upload at some point | 18:16 |
| evand | cjwatson: not that I can think of. | 18:22 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: evand * r2683 ubiquity/debian/po/ (79 files): debconf-updatepo | 20:58 |
| evand | superm1: I'm going to step out for a few hours in a bit. If you have any objection to a ubiquity build when I get back (probably around 11 PM EST), please let me know in here and I'll hold off. | 21:50 |
| superm1 | okay will do | 23:34 |
