| CIA-1 | ubiquity: already on the target; this can happen legitimately if installing over | 09:54 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: an existing system and /boot wasn't erased. | 09:54 |
| sri_ | cjwatson: i customised (the gnome ) of your ubuntu livecd of version gutsy ... it is booting but not supporting the selected theme | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry, I can't help you | 10:51 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2754 ubiquity/ (4 files in 2 dirs): | 10:51 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: Make the Back button insensitive on the first page rather than hiding it | 10:51 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: (LP: #186953). | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | firstly, as I've said to you several times before, I can't conceivably help without a copy of the CD in question, and that would cost me money to download | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | secondly, I'm not a desktop guy and themes are not my field | 10:52 |

| CIA-1 | ubiquity: Rename main Cancel button to Quit, and adjust the quit dialog text | 11:14 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: slightly so that we consistently use "quit" as the action verb and | 11:14 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: "cancel" clearly means to cancel the dialog (LP: #45690). | 11:14 |

| crispin | cjwatson: how about http://patches.theflowerdays.com/d/debian-cd-list2src.diff as a patch for list2src ? | 11:47 |
| crispin | (making it look in updates / security / restricted / universe etc) | 11:48 |
| crispin | it works for me [tm] | 11:48 |
| sri_ | cjwatson: ok ., | 11:51 |
| cjwatson | crispin: yeah, that looks fine - is there a "fetch plain patch" URL for applying purposes? | 11:51 |
| cjwatson | ah, http://patches.theflowerdays.com/debian-cd-list2src.diff | 11:51 |
| crispin | the big link at the top (although that isn't obvious!) | 11:51 |
| cjwatson | --author crispin@flowerday.cx? | 11:52 |
| crispin | hmm, gnome@flowerday.cx please | 11:52 |
| cjwatson | mkay | 11:52 |
| cjwatson | applied, thanks | 11:54 |
| crispin | np | 11:56 |
| crispin | cjwatson: oh, btw, which is the 'official' debian-cd that I should checkout ? is it the one in ~cjwatson/bzr/debian-cd/ubuntu/ or the /~ubuntu-cdimage/debian-cd/ubuntu one ? | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | they should be the same | 12:02 |
| cjwatson | the latter is a mirror of the former | 12:02 |
| cjwatson | (well, aside from propagation times) | 12:03 |
| crispin | ok, cool | 12:17 |
| saispo | cjwatson: hi :) you're not an ftp maintainer ? :) | 14:13 |
| cjwatson | saispo: I'm one of the Ubuntu archive administration team, if that's what you mean. Why? | 14:19 |
| saispo | yes :) | 14:19 |
| saispo | see on ubuntu-devel... | 14:19 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, it appears the version of ubiquity that came in a3 is trying to unmount /cdrom when install starts (which isn't feasible). nothing stood out in the changelog for ubiquity, but i haven't looked at partman's yet | 16:22 |
| evand | hrmm ok, I'll try to take a look from the airport | 16:23 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, okay. if it doesn't stand out i'll show you at some point tomorrow while others are discussing things | 16:24 |
| evand | ok, thanks | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | that's curious - we did full tests of alpha 3's ubiquity and it was working fine on the test systems in question | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | are these modified CDs in any way, or just ordinary alpha 3 CDs? | 16:26 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, they were alpha 3 cds with our preseed file | 16:26 |
| mario_limonciell | dropped onto the recovery partition | 16:26 |
| mario_limonciell | replacing the livefs from ubuntu 8.04 and the .disk from ubuntu 8.04 | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | mario_limonciell: do you know roughly what stage the unmount happened? | 16:27 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, well it's moreso that it wasn't able to happen, but it looked like right about when it was about to partition | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | commit partitioning changes, YM? | 16:27 |
| mario_limonciell | i'll get a more thorough run through and capture some logs to get more accurate information. this was at the end of last week on my way out the door | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | the only thing I can think of that might be relevant is that Debian did a good deal of work recently to improve support for CD sets | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | now, we don't use these in Ubuntu so I've generally tried to disable this (though without ripping out the code entirely) | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | but be careful that you aren't just dropping in .disk from Ubuntu 8.04 - check the diff against .disk from alpha 3 | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | since .disk/cd_type is responsible for part of disabling CD sets | 16:30 |
| mario_limonciell | well the .disk is the same as the ISO that i've got downloaded. http://paste.ubuntu.com/31330/ | 16:38 |
| mario_limonciell | that's ubiquity noninteractive -d | 16:38 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| mario_limonciell | well as suspected /lib/partman/commit.d/01unmount_busy looks like it is causing this. the change that caused the error probably isn't in ubiquity then because that file hasn't changed in a while. it is more likely to be the representation of mount points now. /cdrom doesn't show up in /proc/mounts, but umount'ing /dev/sda2 complains that /cdrom can't be umounted | 19:21 |
| mario_limonciell | so is this perhaps a side effect of switching to aufs? | 19:21 |
| mario_limonciell | err actually cdrom *does* show in /proc/mounts, maybe it didn't before then | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | I need to see /var/log/partman | 19:35 |
| cjwatson | 01unmount_busy definitely shouldn't ever be trying to unmount /cdrom, regardless of the representation in /proc/mounts | 19:35 |
| mario_limonciell | http://paste.ubuntu.com/31395/ | 19:39 |
| cjwatson | ok, and /var/log/syslog and /proc/mounts? | 19:40 |
| cjwatson | (dinnertime though) | 19:40 |
| mario_limonciell | i'll put this all on a bug then so it's not lost in pastebin's | 19:41 |
| mario_limonciell | okay bug 252667 should have everything needed. | 19:47 |
| CIA-1 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2758 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/base.py): Fix format string substitution error in _abstract method. | 20:16 |
| Sp0tter | I have created an auto install cd, but at install time i'm getting a red screen that says 'The cdrom contains a cd which cannot be used for installation." What would cause this and how can it be resolved? | 20:20 |
| cjwatson | Sp0tter: it usually means that you forgot to include the .disk directory on the CD, specifically .disk/info | 20:25 |
| Sp0tter | interesting ok thanks | 20:26 |
| cjwatson | well, strike that "usually" :-) that's the only possible cause | 20:28 |
| Sp0tter | even better :) yep i used cp to copy the cd, i'm guessing that didn't include the .disk | 20:28 |
| cjwatson | quite plausible | 20:30 |
| cjwatson | * doesn't expand to leading-dot directories - just copy it over explicitly | 20:30 |
| cjwatson | mario_limonciell: are you sure your approach is sound here? with a filesystem mounted off /dev/sda2, you aren't going to be able to get the kernel to reread the partition table of /dev/sda | 20:34 |
| cjwatson | which will cause you problems later, surely | 20:34 |
| mario_limonciell | cjwatson, well this is what has been used for 8.04.. | 20:34 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure why it didn't break before, but fundamentally that's what ubiquity's objecting to ;) | 20:41 |
| cjwatson | (albeit in a rather obscure and roundabout way) | 20:42 |
| cjwatson | I'm a little confused by some of what's going on in that code though, so will investigate more ... | 20:43 |
| mario_limonciell | okay | 20:43 |
| Sp0tter | I'm trying to make a basic fully-auto install (no extra packagse or anything fancy.. just default settings), I have my isolinux.cfg timeout on my entry that points to a seed and a kickstart file, and i have the debconf-prioirty to critical, but i still get the stupid What language question and the what keyboard mumbo jumbo, any ideas? | 21:24 |
| Sp0tter | My isolinux.cfg is: http://rafb.net/p/FqhvKq14.html | 21:25 |
| * Sp0tter cries. | 22:03 | |
| cjwatson | Sp0tter: I'd have to see the kickstart file (minus any passwords). Also, it looks like you cut-and-pasted that from an editor and I'm not sure whether the line-wrapping worked? | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | Sp0tter: (it looks like ks= may be on a separate line from append, which would be wrong, but I can't tell) | 23:02 |
| Sp0tter | cjwatson, i've sense tried putting it on an append line, and that causes a kernel panic | 23:03 |
| Sp0tter | I'll get the full files posted real fast | 23:03 |
| Sp0tter | http://rafb.net/p/NvYgwf47.html | 23:05 |
| Sp0tter | and that gives: Kernel panic - not syncing: VSF: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(8,1) | 23:07 |
| cjwatson | you shouldn't do multiple append lines like that | 23:09 |
| cjwatson | one big one | 23:09 |
| Sp0tter | Will that make the difference, or just best practice? | 23:09 |
| cjwatson | it'll very likely fix it - the error says that the kernel couldn't find its root filesystem, and that's probably because it doesn't have the initrd= parameter that you've put in the fourth append line out of five | 23:10 |
| Sp0tter | oh man | 23:11 |
| Sp0tter | I love you. | 23:11 |
| Sp0tter | thanks, i've probably spent like 17 hours total trying to automate a basic install | 23:25 |
| Sp0tter | I just learned today that I dont have to fumble with the keyring since i'm not adding packages heh | 23:25 |
