[01:07] evand did you get a full strace at the end with -s 1024? [01:10] does anyone have a ubuntu 8.04 kickstart that installs the lvm? [02:21] how do you force the 8.04 CD to use the most recent kernel from the network sources without dropping to a shell to do it manually? [06:16] hello? [10:10] evand, cjwatson here is my strace http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15639764/ubiquity.strace [10:13] cjwatson in your patch should it be "Acquire::cdrom::mount", "/cdrom" as opposed to "/target/cdrom"? [10:13] I meant /target/cdrom; /cdrom is the default [10:14] my reasoning was that python-apt is running in the live CD root, and pointing it at /target/cdrom might convince it that the CD is a different filesystem from /target [10:14] ah I see [10:14] thanks for the strace, I'll look at that [10:15] np [10:20] Could we config it maybe so that the repository is not treated as a cdrom but as a local repo? [10:27] apt's CD-ROM identification is based on inode number and mtime of each item in the root directory, plus some other things [10:27] it looks like that's been confused somehow [10:28] this does slightly confuse me since apt-cdrom has been run [10:28] you're running *without* the patch I posted yesterday, right? [10:29] correct [10:29] good, I think it was a red herring [10:33] let's just be clear, I think the completely obvious answer here for 8.04.1 is to revert whatever wubi changes are depending on this [10:34] 8.04.1 is already late and we do not have time to debug this for it [10:34] not and produce something reliable, at any rate [10:34] known old bugs are better than unknown new bugs [10:34] cjwatson I have already created a branch for wubi reverting the changes [10:35] ok, good [10:35] https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/hardy.cd2iso [10:35] I haven't tested it though [10:35] now, for post-.1: there is a problem here in that apt isn't configured to stop trying to unmount the CD, but that's not the real issue [10:36] (I'm not happy with treating it as an ordinary local archive BTW, that might get us by the immediate problem but it would create other worse problems later) [10:36] evand we need to start hammering hardy.cd2iso then.. [10:37] please put it on an iso and try installing off CD [10:37] wubi-selfextract should still be used within the iso, while the other .exe should be used as standalone executable [10:40] I have it narrowed down as far as "something is wrong with CD-ROM identification", but won't be able to get any further today due to other things on my plate [10:40] cjwatson: thanks [10:41] I will notify slangasek and pitti then [10:56] evand please also doublecheck the URLs in isolist.ini http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/hardy.cd2iso/annotate/agostino.russo%40gmail.com-20080626212319-nyj2otjm34iv07v0?file_id=isolist.ini-20070428121614-qn8q5zgg2pakro1p-1 [15:04] good morning! I'm still trying to create a repository from scratch that cdimage can use to generate an i386 alternate installer. I get to the point where it is calculating what to add to the disc and debootstrap complains about missing some "debootstrap-required" stuff. [15:04] Right now my repository contains everything from main and restricted and the debian-installer stuff from main. [15:06] There are also a bunch of empty Packages files for -proposed -security -updates because without them apt complains. I probably need to go find apts config file, wherever it runs from and get rid of some stuff... [15:10] just wondering if anyone had any ideas what might be wrong? [18:11] hmm.. is the "server" preseed ever going to be an option in the netboot/mini.iso ? [23:33] cjwatson: when targeting hardy I am having a hard time with the extract-debootstrap script in cdimage [23:33] i noticed you fetch the Packages.gz from a different location for hardy. [23:34] the ftp-universe location [23:35] My guess is that there is a different debootstrap-udeb package there because I notice that the hardy version of debootstrap-udeb that is in main doesn't work, files have been moved around. [23:36] course... if anyone else on this channel knows anything about this... I'm all ears. [23:42] hardwire: it's equivalent to 'cli' there [23:42] near enough [23:43] giosue_c: no, ftp-universe is just due to the wacky mirroring setup on the cdimage build machine [23:43] yea i thought something like that [23:43] giosue_c: sounds like you need to pull cdimage - that bug was fixed on 18 July [23:43] err! 18 June [23:43] revno: 704 [23:43] author: Steve Langasek [23:43] committer: Colin Watson [23:43] branch nick: cdimage [23:43] timestamp: Wed 2008-06-18 11:37:24 +0100 [23:43] oh [23:43] message: [23:43] current debootstrap in hardy uses /usr/share/debootstrap instead of /usr/lib/debootstrap [23:44] yes it does. [23:44] that makes me so happy [23:44] it was actually fixed locally on cdimage a while back, but needed to push the change into the right branch [23:44] makes sense. [23:44] great! [23:44] I walk out of the office on a friday with good news. [23:44] always nice :) [23:44] anyway, I just stopped by on the way to bed, so ... [23:45] cheers. have a great weekend [23:45] you too! [23:50] cjwatson: cli is good enough, I can just install the linux-server metapackage if needed.
