| giosue_c | hi. i'm looking at the error logs of a system that failed while installing. | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| giosue_c | this may seem remedial, but i'm wondering how to get the logs off the system so I can keep the error messages around. | 00:08 |
| giosue_c | i see the nc command is available and i'll probably use that, but would be nice to know what the standard approach to getting a copy of the logs is. | 00:10 |
| cjwatson | the usual advice I give is to go back to the installer main menu, select "Save debug logs", and follow the instructions | 00:13 |
| cjwatson | it's also possible to run 'anna-install openssh-client-udeb' and after that you'll have scp, or as you observe you can use nc | 00:14 |
| giosue_c | thanks. good to know. switched my build from feisty to hardy today and something's not quite right. | 00:20 |

| xivulon | evand, can you please test wubi within vm with < 256MB? | 12:15 |

| CIA-1 | partman-base: cjwatson * r98 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 121ubuntu2 | 12:51 |
| evand | xivulon: sure | 13:56 |
| evand | xivulon: The 256 MB check is fine, but using today's CD I'm getting an invalid CD detected when launching umenu | 14:18 |
| xivulon | arg I forgot about umenu | 14:43 |
| xivulon | !define VERSION "8.04" | 14:45 |
| xivulon | src/umenu.nsi | 14:46 |
| xivulon | should be 8.04.1 | 14:46 |
| xivulon | evand please try with the above ^ | 14:46 |
| evand | will do | 14:47 |
| evand | that worked. Ok, I'll commit this and ask slangasek if he's willing to regenerate the desktop CDs at this point. | 15:06 |
| xivulon | sorry for that umenu completely slipped my mind | 15:14 |
| evand | hopefully slangasek will let another build through :/ | 15:16 |

| evand | xivulon: have you experienced any crashes while testing Wubi.exe? I seem to be getting them with some frequency in 8.04.1. | 16:49 |
| chrismat | I want to install Ubuntu from CentOS PXE | 16:50 |
| chrismat | unattended | 16:50 |
| chrismat | What should i use debconf, fai or kickstart? | 16:50 |
| xivulon | evand no, not particularly | 16:52 |
| xivulon | quite strange because if anything there is less stuff now | 16:52 |
| xivulon | maybe do you have several ISOs around? | 16:52 |
| evand | I don't believe so. I always uncheck the box for backing up the ISO. | 16:53 |
| evand | I also hit a bug where it asked the timezone question, but I cannot reproduce it now. | 16:53 |
| xivulon | hmm would have liked to have had more feedback on this a few days ago'... | 16:55 |
| evand | Indeed, we're probably stuck with it now. | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | chrismat: I don't recommend fai simply because the Ubuntu installer team has very little experience with it and so it probably hasn't been touched very much for Ubuntu | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | chrismat: either debconf preseeding or Kickstart is fine; preseeding is more powerful in and of itself while Kickstart is simpler; however, you can use Kickstart and add a few preseeding commands to tweak things that go wrong, if you like | 17:03 |
| xivulon | evand there is no change in the source that would make segfaults more likely as far as I can see, must be a random change (like behaviour changing because of an extra print statement...) | 17:04 |
| xivulon | as for the timezone the code is slightly different now, it might be that you had that with the french version? | 17:05 |
| xivulon | ms has this nice habit of saving configuration values in localized form from time to time... | 17:05 |
| evand | cute, and yes, I was using the French Windows XP Professional. | 17:15 |
| evand | However, it only failed once while using it. | 17:16 |

| james_w | testing today's intrepid daily alternate I get "hotkey-setup: Depends: discover (>= 2.0) but it is not installable". I'm stuck at finding out the cause though. | 20:26 |
| opapo | how do I use kickstart to automate the install of a lamp server | 21:51 |
| cjwatson | james_w: I fixed hotkey-setup this morning | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | opapo: I'm going to bed now, but either stick around and I'll answer tomorrow morning if nobody beats me to it, or send mail as in the /topic | 23:25 |
| james_w | cjwatson: great, thanks | 23:26 |
| giosue_c | i'm trying to build a hardy alternate installer cd with cdimage. germinate isn't finding some dependencies of the xubuntu-desktop package. I think it is because the packages it requires are in universe, but the germinate command cdimage is using only looks at main. | 23:28 |
| cjwatson | giosue_c: set CDIMAGE_UNSUPPORTED in the environment. (grep for that and you'll see what I mean.) | 23:33 |
| cjwatson | see the 'export CDIMAGE_UNSUPPORTED=1' lines in cdimage/bin/build-image-set | 23:33 |
| giosue_c | i think i already know what you mean :). I'm pretty sure i bumped my head on that before. | 23:33 |
| giosue_c | now that you mention it! | 23:34 |
| giosue_c | thanks | 23:34 |
| giosue_c | I see it returns a mirror location of ftp-universe instead of ftp | 23:37 |
| cjwatson | that's due to cdimage's local wacky mirror layout, feel free to override | 23:37 |
| * cjwatson -> bed, no really | 23:37 | |
| giosue_c | :) | 23:38 |
| giosue_c | thanks | 23:38 |
| xivulon | evand yes it matters, because people use the local directory to pass a pre-downloaded ISO, but with a self-extracting wubi I cannot know which one is the local directory | 23:59 |
