[01:07] <xivulon> evand did you get a full strace at the end with -s 1024?
[01:10] <ryoohki> does anyone have a ubuntu 8.04 kickstart that installs the lvm?
[02:21] <hardwire> 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] <timbomb> hello?
[10:10] <xivulon> evand, cjwatson here is my strace http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15639764/ubiquity.strace
[10:13] <xivulon> cjwatson in your patch should it be "Acquire::cdrom::mount", "/cdrom" as opposed to "/target/cdrom"?
[10:13] <cjwatson> I meant /target/cdrom; /cdrom is the default
[10:14] <cjwatson> 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] <xivulon> ah I see
[10:14] <cjwatson> thanks for the strace, I'll look at that
[10:15] <xivulon> np
[10:20] <xivulon> Could we config it maybe so that the repository is not treated as a cdrom but as a local repo?
[10:27] <cjwatson> 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] <cjwatson> it looks like that's been confused somehow
[10:28] <cjwatson> this does slightly confuse me since apt-cdrom has been run
[10:28] <cjwatson> you're running *without* the patch I posted yesterday, right?
[10:29] <xivulon> correct
[10:29] <cjwatson> good, I think it was a red herring
[10:33] <cjwatson> 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] <cjwatson> 8.04.1 is already late and we do not have time to debug this for it
[10:34] <cjwatson> not and produce something reliable, at any rate
[10:34] <cjwatson> known old bugs are better than unknown new bugs
[10:34] <xivulon> cjwatson I have already created a branch for wubi reverting the changes
[10:35] <cjwatson> ok, good
[10:35] <xivulon> https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/hardy.cd2iso
[10:35] <xivulon> I haven't tested it though
[10:35] <cjwatson> 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] <cjwatson> (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] <xivulon> evand we need to start hammering hardy.cd2iso then..
[10:37] <xivulon> please put it on an iso and try installing off CD
[10:37] <xivulon> wubi-selfextract should still be used within the iso, while the other .exe should be used as standalone executable
[10:40] <cjwatson> 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] <xivulon> cjwatson: thanks
[10:41] <xivulon> I will notify slangasek and pitti then
[10:56] <xivulon> 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] <giosue_c> 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] <giosue_c> Right now my repository contains everything from main and restricted and the debian-installer stuff from main.
[15:06] <giosue_c> 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] <giosue_c> just wondering if anyone had any ideas what might be wrong?
[18:11] <hardwire> hmm.. is the "server" preseed ever going to be an option in the netboot/mini.iso ?
[23:33] <giosue_c> cjwatson: when targeting hardy I am having a hard time with the extract-debootstrap script in cdimage
[23:33] <giosue_c> i noticed you fetch the Packages.gz from a different location for hardy.
[23:34] <giosue_c> the ftp-universe location
[23:35] <giosue_c> 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] <giosue_c> course... if anyone else on this channel knows anything about this... I'm all ears.
[23:42] <cjwatson> hardwire: it's equivalent to 'cli' there
[23:42] <cjwatson> near enough
[23:43] <cjwatson> giosue_c: no, ftp-universe is just due to the wacky mirroring setup on the cdimage build machine
[23:43] <giosue_c> yea i thought something like that
[23:43] <cjwatson> giosue_c: sounds like you need to pull cdimage - that bug was fixed on 18 July
[23:43] <cjwatson> err! 18 June

[23:43] <giosue_c> oh
[23:43] <cjwatson> message:
[23:43] <cjwatson>   current debootstrap in hardy uses /usr/share/debootstrap instead of /usr/lib/debootstrap
[23:44] <giosue_c> yes it does.
[23:44] <giosue_c> that makes me so happy
[23:44] <cjwatson> it was actually fixed locally on cdimage a while back, but needed to push the change into the right branch
[23:44] <giosue_c> makes sense.
[23:44] <giosue_c> great!
[23:44] <giosue_c> I walk out of the office on a friday with good news.
[23:44] <cjwatson> always nice :)
[23:44] <cjwatson> anyway, I just stopped by on the way to bed, so ...
[23:45] <giosue_c> cheers.  have a great weekend
[23:45] <cjwatson> you too!
[23:50] <hardwire> cjwatson: cli is good enough, I can just install the linux-server metapackage if needed.
