| georg | cjwatson: can u guide me how to rectify this | 08:19 |
| georg | cjwatson: can u able to reply me for this problem | 08:43 |
| xivulon | morning davmor2 | 09:45 |
| xivulon | was home late yesterday and while I managed to reproduce couldn't do much debugging | 09:45 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: it's interesting though that the iso worked flawlessly it was only the cd that failed | 10:05 |
| georg | Hi Cjwatson | 10:24 |
| cjwatson | georg: please don't repeat your problem over and over again | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | georg: your problem is fixed in Ubuntu 8.04 | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | georg: it's bug 177442 | 10:51 |
| georg | cjwatson: sorry for that | 10:51 |
| georg | foe sending the problem again and agian | 10:52 |
| georg | Thnaks for sending the reply i will go through the link | 10:53 |
| xivulon | davmor2 that is how I suspected, since I normally always tested the ISO and it used to worked | 10:57 |
| xivulon | I am quite sure that it is the same issue as we had in partman-auto-loop, I.E. some process grepping /proc/mounts by device AFTER grub-installer | 10:59 |
| xivulon | cjwatson could that be ^? | 10:59 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry, I have no context for this | 11:00 |
| xivulon | cjwatson we are investigating a ubiquity error when wubi is installed from CD (i.e. when it boots off files extracted into /ubuntu/install/cdrom) | 11:01 |
| xivulon | what happens is that in this case /isodevice/ubuntu/install/cdrom is bindmounted to /cdrom in the initrd (casper) | 11:01 |
| CIA-48 | yaboot-installer: cjwatson * r261 ubuntu/debian/ (changelog control): Set Vcs-Bzr for Ubuntu. | 11:02 |
| xivulon | hence if you grep /proc/mounts filtering for the root device you get two lines instead of one | 11:02 |
| xivulon | davmor2 would you mind providing a link again to installation-logs.zip? | 11:03 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: should bw www.davmor2.co.uk/installation-logs.zip if memory serves | 11:04 |
| davmor2 | indeed it is :) | 11:04 |
| xivulon | thx | 11:04 |
| davmor2 | AFK | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: certainly seems plausible | 11:11 |

| xivulon | can other packages call ubiquity/scripts/install.py > statusChange(...) ? | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | that's not a public interface, no | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | things called by install.py should use the normal debconf progress interface | 12:58 |
| xivulon | strange it seems that the only call comes from updateInterface, but that uses float(percent) | 12:59 |
| cjwatson | what are you trying to do? | 13:00 |
| xivulon | so how can the casting int(percent) within statusChange fail | 13:00 |
| xivulon | tracking the error by reading the code | 13:00 |
| xivulon | in my lunch break | 13:00 |
| cjwatson | would need to know what percent was, I guess | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | there are probably some floats that aren't castable to int, like not-a-number type things | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | or infinity | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | exactly how you'd get those from a string I'm not quite sure | 13:01 |
| xivulon | ah of course | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | >>> int(float('infinity')) | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | Traceback (most recent call last): | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to long | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | still, I'd be extremely surprised if apt sent back infinity | 13:02 |
| xivulon | also because the error should probably read "cannot convert float infinity to long" | 13:04 |
| cjwatson | what error are you getting? | 13:06 |
| xivulon | http://paste.ubuntu.com/22590/ | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | oh, you misunderstood the trace | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | the error is not from casting to int | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | I think you're reading the trace upside-down - the innermost frame is at the bottom | 13:08 |
| cjwatson | not sure what requires an integer there though | 13:09 |
| xivulon | ops yes | 13:20 |
| xivulon | well even worse, ("%s %s\n" % (command, ' '.join(map(str, params)))) what has that to do with ints? | 13:26 |
| xivulon | hmm lunchtime almosto over | 13:26 |
| === davmor2_away is now known as davmor2 | ||
| davmor2 | xivulon: is there an new wubi to test yet? | 13:55 |
| xivulon | davmor2: not really, hadn't have time to debug yesterday much, and my little trial during lunch didn't go to far either | 13:56 |
| xivulon | would need more debugging info, hopefully evand made some progress | 13:57 |
| xivulon | davmor2: it would still help a lot if you could check the other bugs with an ISO installation | 13:57 |
| xivulon | and provide feedback in each of the bugs | 13:58 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: it just worked :) | 13:58 |
| xivulon | davmor2: here is a list of the relevant bugs | 13:58 |
| xivulon | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5230609&postcount=2 | 13:58 |
| davmor2 | But I'll do a quick tag through the bugs and see if any are still about :) | 13:58 |
| xivulon | in particular LP217348 | 13:59 |
| xivulon | it is sufficient to install on a secondary disk (USB might do) | 14:00 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: it did boot I have multiple hds 2 are on usb but they are detected and mounted | 14:00 |
| xivulon | davmor2: it is important to check whether wubi works when it is installed on (hd1) in grub terms | 14:01 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: right so wubi needs to install on the second drive? | 14:01 |
| xivulon | yes please and then post a comment on 217348 as steve is waiting for it | 14:02 |
| davmor2 | NP's | 14:02 |
| xivulon | much appreciated | 14:03 |
| xivulon | To test 204128 wubi 503 has to be on a CD or you need to create your own CD by unpacking, replacing wubi.exe and packing back the ISO, then burning a CD | 14:05 |
| xivulon | that requires vista with latest patches | 14:05 |
| xivulon | and wubi-selfextract.exe | 14:05 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: is there a selfextract link? | 14:12 |
| xivulon | davmor2 http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/wubi-selfextract.exe | 14:15 |
| xivulon | I had posted the instructions for repackaging an ISO somewhere... | 14:15 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: so does the self extract need to be on the cd or the 503? I'm losing the tread a bit? | 14:16 |
| xivulon | self-extract is rev503 but repackaged to that it is compressed self-extracting | 14:16 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: I just use iso master it's a gui for editing iso's :) | 14:17 |
| xivulon | that will do | 14:18 |
| xivulon | ah the manual instructions are in the same bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/204128/comments/19 | 14:18 |
| davmor2 | no probs | 14:19 |
| xivulon | davmor2, cd extraction re 207137 / 230716 is ok (apart of the fact that we hit the wall after grub-installer...) correct? | 14:23 |
| xivulon | would you mind commenting in those bugs? | 14:24 |
| xivulon | davmor2, testing 236741 is also easy, when you install on a secondary drive, create a /ubuntu directory on the primary drive with some dummy files, uninstall and check that the first dir does not get deleted | 14:26 |
| xivulon | for 223155 you need to run wubi (windows) with less than 256MB, you should see a warning but be able to continue the installation | 14:27 |
| xivulon | I guess that is about it | 14:28 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: that could be an issue lowest spec machine I have has a gig | 14:28 |
| xivulon | np | 14:28 |
| xivulon | evand can probably check that easily in vm | 14:29 |
| evand | indeed, added to my todo list. | 14:32 |
| xivulon | hi evand, any luch with the ubiquity issue? | 14:32 |
| evand | not yet, though I have a few ideas that I'm going to try shortly. | 14:33 |
| xivulon | I didn't go too far myself, only insight is that it only happens when booting off extracted CD (/ubuntu/install/cdrom) while it works well when booting off an ISO | 14:34 |
| xivulon | I cannot run any test here, but if you can narrow down the scope I can try to go through the code and see if anything jumps out | 14:35 |
| evand | which I find to be horribly odd. Perhaps this is a red herring. | 14:37 |
| xivulon | evand as explained above, I think some process might try to grep /proc/mounts by device, and it ends up with 2 lines instead of 1 | 14:40 |
| xivulon | I would not think the setup makes any difference other than for the bindmount | 14:41 |
| xivulon | you might want to try to use a symlink in caper check_device as opposed to bindmount | 14:43 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: cd re-created and burning I'll hit the nfs unclean with vista too:) | 14:48 |
| xivulon | evand, see if this helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22617/ | 14:54 |
| xivulon | mostly a blind shot but it might help narrow down the issue | 14:55 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: out of curiosity the 236741 but would that work on a second partition too? | 14:58 |
| xivulon | davmor2: yes, to test it you need to have two \ubuntu directories, on any "drive letter" | 14:59 |
| xivulon | the uninstaller obviously only has to remove the correct one | 15:00 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: cool I can test that on the vista machine too then :) Ah one cd so many uses :) | 15:00 |
| xivulon | as usual please add a comment to the bug report | 15:00 |
| davmor2 | just checking vista for updates first :) | 15:01 |
| davmor2 | np's | 15:01 |

| davmor2 | xivulon: vista up-to-date and partitioned now for wubi | 15:22 |
| xivulon | cool | 15:22 |
| davmor2 | grrr wubi-selfextractor couldn't find wubi.exe | 15:25 |
| xivulon | ? | 15:25 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: Windows cannot find 'wubi.wxw'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again | 15:26 |
| davmor2 | s/wxw/exe | 15:26 |
| davmor2 | does the extractor need wubi.exe on the cd too? | 15:27 |
| xivulon | hm no the wubi-self extract is simply wubi compressed with 7z in self extracting mode. i.e. you should be able to run wubi-selfextract from hard disk as well just to test | 15:29 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: ah hang on does it need to be called wubi-selfextract or can it be called wubi.exe? | 15:30 |
| xivulon | hmm I wouldn't think it matters, but I might have changed the makefile in 503 so that the internal name is different... | 15:31 |
| xivulon | let me check | 15:32 |
| davmor2 | I called it wubi.exe so it fell in line with umenu and then remembered that umenu wasn't working# | 15:32 |
| xivulon | ah yes that is my fault | 15:33 |
| xivulon | skip that test for now, I will produce anothe self extract later on today | 15:34 |
| davmor2 | when can we expect wubi-selfextract 504 then :) | 15:34 |
| xivulon | tonight | 15:34 |
| xivulon | or earlier with evand help | 15:34 |
| davmor2 | mail me at davmor2@gmail.com when It's up and get it asap and test it then :) in the mean time I'll drop 503 on a cd a test with that instead okay | 15:35 |
| xivulon | evand can you please apply the patch in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/242682 and rebuild wubi-selfextract? | 15:44 |

| evand | Yes | 15:58 |
| davmor2 | evand: cool ta | 15:58 |
| evand | You're welcome | 15:59 |
| superm1 | evand, do you think you will still be able to get around to adding the fix for bug 219192 in? | 16:09 |
| xivulon | evand thanks a lot | 16:10 |
| xivulon | evand for 222690 I have already asked verrotin, but no feedback yet | 16:10 |
| evand | argh, that completely fell off my todo list. No, I think it's too late to fix that in .1. | 16:13 |
| superm1 | oh that's too bad :( | 16:13 |
| xivulon | evand did you try the casper fix ^ by any chance? | 16:13 |
| evand | really sorry about that. I'll make sure it gets in .2 as soon as it opens. | 16:13 |
| evand | xivulon: yes and it seems to work, but testing again. | 16:14 |
| xivulon | evand then it is certainly the bindmount creating issues, so you can either grep for /proc/mounts to find the offending program | 16:15 |
| superm1 | evand, could you make sure that it's at least fixed in intrepid then in the short term so that when the dailies start coming out, they're ok? | 16:15 |
| xivulon | or leave the fix as is not sure if using symlink in casper as opposed to bindmount has any other sideeffect (cjwatson?) | 16:15 |
| evand | superm1: indeed, will do | 16:16 |
| superm1 | thanks | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | symlink from where to where? | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry, I'm not getting time to follow all of this as it goes past | 16:17 |
| xivulon | cjwatson http://paste.ubuntu.com/22617/ | 16:17 |
| xivulon | was a quick hack to see if the bindmount theory was correct | 16:18 |
| evand | http://evalicious.com/tmp/wubi-20080623-syslog-2.txt <- where the bug manifested. | 16:18 |
| xivulon | but if the bindmount creates all those issues we might as well use a symlink unless there are objections of course | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | you need to be careful that the symlink will actually be resolvable in the new root (symlinks are resolved when they're used, not when they're created); furthermore, other things may well expect to be able to unmount /cdrom later, so you need to do end-to-end tests before doing this | 16:20 |
| xivulon | those were the sort of objections I was looking for :P | 16:21 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: evand: wubi is still dropping into initramfs on a dirty xp drive | 16:22 |
| davmor2 | s/xp/ntfs | 16:22 |
| xivulon | davmor2: yes that is expected | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | bind-mounts are resolved at mount time, so they avoid the typical sorts of issues you get when creating symlinks from the initramfs (which by definition is in a different root filesystem) | 16:22 |
| xivulon | as we don't have fsck.ntfs | 16:22 |
| xivulon | davmor2: you should at least see a more meaningful message, at least in recovery mode | 16:23 |
| davmor2 | it's not in normal mode | 16:24 |
| davmor2 | recovery yes | 16:24 |
| xivulon | cjwatson: well at least now we know that the bindmount is the issue, so grepping for /proc/mounts should help narrow down the options | 16:26 |
| xivulon | hmm don't see how that could work with a symlink: ./scripts/casper-bottom/05mountpoints:mount -n -o move /cdrom /root/cdrom | 16:31 |
| xivulon | evand are you sure it works? | 16:32 |
| evand | I'm in the process of testing it a second time. | 16:33 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: 217348 this seems to be resolved now isn't it? this is why you wanted a copy of the menu.lst isn't it? | 16:33 |
| xivulon | should be | 16:34 |
| davmor2 | you were happy with the menu.lst yesterday so I'm going to assume it's fixed looks the same today :) | 16:35 |
| xivulon | davmor2 can you please add some more context about the test, explain for instance that you installed wubi on a secondary hard disk and still booted (provide relevant menu.lst) | 16:35 |
| xivulon | the test to be valid should be about a wubi installation on hard disk 2 as you might end up booting off hard disk 1 anyway since that is a normal fallback | 16:36 |
| davmor2 | Argh mis-read it sorry I'll add in a bit need to do that one on the vista machine. My own fault. | 16:37 |
| davmor2 | 224311 I don't have issues with | 16:38 |
| davmor2 | 227023 doesn't effect me either | 16:39 |
| === xivulon_ is now known as xivulon | ||
| xivulon | davmor2: 224311 cannot be reproduced unless you have the buggy bios... but it important to check that the new grub4dos does not create regressions | 16:41 |
| davmor2 | np's here :) | 16:41 |
| xivulon | same story for 227023 | 16:41 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: other tests will need to wait till latter or in the morning depending on when I get back | 16:43 |
| xivulon | does selfextract work now? | 16:43 |
| xivulon | np | 16:43 |
| xivulon | thanks a bunch for everything | 16:44 |
| xivulon | ops too late | 16:44 |
| evand | yeah, you're right. Symlinks don't work as apt-setup wants to unmount and remount it. | 16:45 |
| xivulon | plus the mount -o move... | 16:46 |
| xivulon | so we know as much as before :( | 16:46 |
| xivulon | on a different topic, isn't an initrd panic message supposed to be visible also when not in recovery mode? | 16:47 |
| evand | well no, we know that it does work (the install can proceed beyond that point without issue), so we know it's definitely an issue with using a bindmount for some strange reason. | 16:47 |
| xivulon | I can see that usplash gets killed | 16:47 |
| evand | Not sure offhand. | 16:48 |
| xivulon | hmm but doesn't casper bottom 05 try to mount move /cdrom to /root/cdrom? surely that must fail when cdrom is a symlink | 16:49 |
| xivulon | evand any progress? | 22:32 |
| xivulon | evand I updated to wubi 504 to fix 242682 | 22:51 |
| bdmurray | evand: is there a test case for bug 241420 at all? | 22:52 |
| bdmurray | xivulon: hi! | 22:52 |
| xivulon | bdmurray, hi | 22:52 |
| xivulon | bdmurray, I commented on 204128 testing | 22:53 |
| xivulon | as you can see that would require creating an ISO (must be latest daily 8.04.1) with the new wubi-selfextract | 22:54 |
| bdmurray | right, I'd forgotten about using wubi.exe on the hard drive not being a good test. :( | 22:54 |
| xivulon | well np, wubi-selfextract 503 was not working anyway :P | 22:55 |
| xivulon | new one (504) should be good | 22:55 |
| xivulon | note that the linux side installation will not complete, but that should not be relevant for that bug | 22:56 |
| xivulon | linux side installation now only works when using an iso | 22:56 |
