TheMuso | Yeah. | 00:02 |

twb | Remind me, what's the magic thingy/hostname=bar:3142 thingy/directory=/ubuntu to use a local host instead of security.ubuntu.com for the security repo? | 04:53 |
twb | (Expert more still doesn't ask about that, and our network here is annoying.) | 04:53 |
twb | Hmm, looks like security_host. | 04:58 |
twb | ...except that doesn't work on Hardy. | 05:02 |
twb | Oh fuck me, tcp window scaling is still broken. | 05:09 |
twb | I hate out network :-/ | 05:09 |
CIA-50 | debian-installer: cjwatson * r964 ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs): Move mainline architectures to 2.6.27-4 kernels. | 08:27 |
xivulon | davmor2: did you play with ntfs syncio? | 11:25 |
davmor2 | No but I can today now that all the testing is out of the way :0 | 11:33 |
davmor2 | :) even | 11:33 |
davmor2 | Right just run through exactly what you need you need me to do then xivulon | 11:35 |
xivulon | davmor2 you have to mount an ntfs partition with -o syncio (assuming that ntfs in intrepid has the cking patch built-in) | 11:43 |
davmor2 | hmm | 11:43 |
davmor2 | 2 ticks then I'll just reinstall xp | 11:44 |
xivulon | I actually built the driver myself. Then try to copy an ISO to the new mountpoint. In my case the operation was terribly slow | 11:44 |
xivulon | There is no need to have XP, only an ntfs partition. | 11:44 |
davmor2 | it only takes a couple of minutes to transfer it back over :) | 11:46 |
davmor2 | xivulon: so is this from live or from within wubi? | 11:47 |
xivulon | from a standard intrepid installation, you should compare the performance of ntfs when mounted with and without syncio | 11:48 |
davmor2 | np's | 11:49 |
xivulon | make sure that syncio is actually "on" | 11:49 |
xivulon | IIRC it will print a message confirming that syncio is active once you mount the partition | 11:50 |
davmor2 | is the full command for mount on the bug report? | 11:51 |
davmor2 | is it just a case of mount -t ntfs-3g -o syncio /dev/sda1 /media/disk ? | 11:53 |
xivulon | mount -t ntfs -o syncio /dev/XXX /mnt | 11:53 |
xivulon | I am looking at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g not sure if ntfs-3g is in release or update as both ubuntu2 and ubuntu3 version contain the same changelog | 11:54 |
cjwatson | the table at the top of that page tells you what suites contain what versions of ntfs-3g | 11:54 |
xivulon | s/not sure if ntfs-3g is in release or update/not sure if ntfs-3g is in release or proposed/ | 11:55 |
cjwatson | you're misreading the version numbers; look at the bit before "ubuntu" as well :) | 11:55 |
cjwatson | that UI lists the packages in upload order, not necessarily in version number order | 11:55 |
xivulon | ah yep! | 11:55 |
xivulon | so davmor2 the version in intrepid (1:1.2506-1ubuntu2) should be fine | 11:56 |
davmor2 | cjwatson: so does it only need to list type as ntfs or does it still need to be ntfs-3g or are the 2 the same now? | 11:56 |
cjwatson | they've been the same for *ages* | 11:57 |
cjwatson | since ntfs-3g was introduced properly in, what was it, gutsy? | 11:57 |
davmor2 | cool | 11:57 |
cjwatson | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-07-11 16:54 /sbin/mount.ntfs -> /bin/ntfs-3g | 11:57 |
cjwatson | if you want the old one you use -t ntfs-fuse | 11:57 |
cjwatson | people should generally just use -t ntfs | 11:58 |
davmor2 | okay cool thanks I just thought I'd double check that, that wasn't the cause of the issue before I start :) | 11:59 |
xivulon | hmm, cjwatson was looking at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/236975/comments/3 was curious why is step 1 required to begin with | 12:03 |
xivulon | I remember that init parses cmdline and extracts rootflags, which then are used by mountroot | 12:04 |
cjwatson | it isn't, as far as I can see. init already exports ROOTFLAGS | 12:04 |
cjwatson | where does this local-premount/root_locale script come from? | 12:07 |
xivulon | it is just a recipe of some users trying to change the mount attributes of /host | 12:09 |
xivulon | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/236975 | 12:10 |
xivulon | ah probably the chap is referring to hardy (0.85) and export ROOTFLAGS was introudced in intrepid (0.92a) | 12:12 |
cjwatson | ah, ok | 12:15 |
davmor2 | xivulon: definitely slower. It's going at 2.6 MB/sec I transferred it from my server to my test machine faster than that :( | 12:42 |
davmor2 | I'll check it against standard in a second for you :) | 12:43 |
davmor2 | 21 mb/sec + for standard | 12:47 |
davmor2 | xivulon: ^ | 12:48 |
xivulon | davmor2 please post your findings in 204133 | 12:49 |
xivulon | same as me 10X slower :( | 12:49 |
xivulon | I have notified cking | 12:50 |
davmor2 | Np's let me know if it needs testing again I've subscribed to the bug to keep an eye on it's progress anyway | 12:53 |
xivulon | davmor2 thanks | 12:54 |

kirkland | cjwatson, et al: is there somewhere in /etc, /proc, or /sys where the keyboard layout is stored? | 19:11 |
kirkland | cjwatson: i'd like to implement a programmatic workaround for the kvm keymapping bug that's still requiring "kvm -k en-us" (or the like) by dynamically determining the value of that "en-us" bit from the host | 19:12 |
evand | fwiw, ~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk has been upgraded. | 21:47 |
cjwatson | kirkland: /etc/default/console-setup | 22:38 |
cjwatson | evand: cool, thanks | 22:39 |
cjwatson | kirkland: note that -k en-us still isn't the whole story - when you set the keyboard layout in the guest, e.g. by running the installer, it still produces a broken layout then | 22:39 |
cjwatson | kirkland: you can try this by selecting the British layout and pressing what IIRC is your \ key (our # key) | 22:40 |
kirkland | cjwatson: interesting, is there a bug on that issue? | 22:41 |
cjwatson | I don't know if there's a specific one, I assumed it was part of the general fuckedness | 22:41 |
cjwatson | haven't tried it with the VNC frontend yet | 22:41 |
cjwatson | is the SDL frontend really so hard to fix? | 22:42 |
kirkland | :-D | 22:42 |
kirkland | i really have no idea how hard the SDL is to fix; soren has indicated that it's non-trivial | 22:42 |
kirkland | cjwatson: is there a problem if you send it "-k en-uk" and you select the British layout in the installer? | 22:44 |
cjwatson | en-gb, but let me try | 22:44 |
cjwatson | ISTR yes | 22:44 |
cjwatson | oh, umm, at the very least things will be confused early on since the live CD defaults to a US keymap | 22:45 |
kirkland | cjwatson: hrm, i see | 22:47 |

CarlFK | odd partition table "Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary." but XP is currently booting/useing it OK. | 23:48 |
CarlFK | alt-installer doesn't show any partitions, but does show the raw drive as a place to install to | 23:48 |
CarlFK | i don't see a way to re-partition | 23:48 |
CarlFK | http://dpaste.com/79878/ sfdisk --list | 23:49 |
cjwatson | yes, parted is rather pedantic about some of those kinds of things | 23:52 |
cjwatson | the most useful piece of information is usually 'sudo od -tx1 -Ax -N512 /dev/sda' to dump out the primary partition table | 23:53 |
cjwatson | (or whatever the drive name is) | 23:53 |
cjwatson | then it can be dumped into a file and used to test parted | 23:53 |
cjwatson | it ought not to cause d-i to fail. We'd need /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman (as usual ...) to see why. I assume that libparted is raising an exception where sfdisk just prints a warning | 23:54 |
CarlFK | http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/temp/Sep22/a/dhcp243/ logs | 23:54 |
CarlFK | but I may have poluted them trying to figure out where the partitions were... I can restart the install easy enough | 23:55 |

cjwatson | proper od | 23:56 |
cjwatson | (e.g. from live CD) | 23:56 |
cjwatson | the one with -t is called od_bloaty.c in busybox so I'd rather not turn it on :) | 23:57 |
CarlFK | heh | 23:57 |
CarlFK | I thnk I have an 8.4 cd around here somewhere... | 23:57 |
cjwatson | Sep 22 17:17:16 kernel: [ 70.857180] sda: p5 exceeds device capacity | 23:58 |
cjwatson | earlier on way before parted gets a look-in | 23:58 |
cjwatson | note that sfdisk says your drive has 3649 cylinders and sda2 apparently ends at cylinder 3877 ... | 23:59 |
cjwatson | so not even just an off-by-$small error | 23:59 |
