CIA-50 | ubiquity: evand * r2857 ubiquity/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog): | 05:37 |
---|---|---|
CIA-50 | ubiquity: Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils | 05:37 |
CIA-50 | ubiquity: 1.59ubuntu3, grub-installer 1.32ubuntu6, hw-detect 1.63ubuntu3, | 05:37 |
CIA-50 | ubiquity: user-setup 1.20ubuntu7. | 05:37 |
CIA-50 | ubiquity: evand * r2858 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.10.0 | 05:53 |
evand | cjwatson: Is there a historical reason why grub-installer and lilo-installer use sfdisk rather than parted? | 06:38 |
evand | cjwatson: also, if you have a free moment, would you give the latest usb-creator a go to see if bug 269052 is still present for you | 06:52 |
evand | (I cannot reproduce it) | 06:53 |
persia | Is passwd/auto_login as a boolean preseed option truly ubiquity-specific, or does it inherit from d-i ? I'm not seeing it the relevant part of the installation-guide, but wanted to double-check. | 07:48 |
evand | persia: it's not ubiquity specific, it's in user-setup. See user-setup-apply in the user-setup source package. | 07:53 |
persia | evand: Thank you. So "user-setup passwd/auto_login boolean true" would be the correct string? | 07:54 |
evand | whatever passwd/auto-login boolean true | 07:55 |
evand | dash, not underscore | 07:55 |
evand | and whatever because aiui, the ownership field isn't really important when preseeding | 07:55 |
persia | Ah. Right. Is the value of "whatever" not important? | 07:56 |
evand | that's my understanding, but cjwatson might prove me quite wrong. | 07:56 |
persia | Well, I was advised to use d-i for whatever for everything in my last preseed file. I suspect I'll want it here as well, as user-setup seems a fairly standard d-i component. | 07:57 |
evand | ubiquity definitely doesn't care as casper just uses debconf-set-selections on the preseed file | 07:59 |
evand | er, it's late. That's irrelevant. Ignore my previous statement. | 07:59 |
persia | and ubiquity doesn't seem to even check the value of whatever when trying to comprehend the preseeding. | 08:00 |
persia | Right. Found it. Thanks. | 08:01 |
evand | anytime | 08:02 |
persia | Oh, and just in case you haven't been told enough lately: ubiquity is *wonderfully* flexible and themeable, and I've been pleasantly surprised by how well it has worked in each of the environments I've tried it. | 08:02 |
evand | Thank Colin, he laid the foundation, I'm just here to build flimsy walls ;) | 08:03 |
evand | Thanks though | 08:04 |
evand | hrm, figuring out an EBUSY in mount in the initramfs where lsof isn't available. | 08:13 |
evand | This should be fun. | 08:13 |
cjwatson | evand: sfdisk> historical state rather than historical reason, I think. They ought to use parted or a libparted-based program. | 08:16 |
evand | ok | 08:17 |
evand | thanks | 08:17 |
cjwatson | evand: ok, I'll have a look at 269052 when I can | 08:17 |
cjwatson | persia: "d-i" as the owner would be right | 08:17 |
evand | So there are no relevant processes running, there's nothing mounted below /cdrom, and yet I cannot remount it ro (when persistent is set in the kernel command line) | 08:17 |
cjwatson | the owner field isn't directly important when preseeding, but it does matter for proper garbage-collection of the debconf database further down the line | 08:18 |
persia | cjwatson: Excellent. Thank you. | 08:18 |
evand | noted | 08:18 |
cjwatson | evand: bind-mounts maybe? | 08:19 |
persia | So by using "d-i" as owner, one can identify the installation-only stuff, or by using "tasksel" one can identify the task-selection stuff? | 08:19 |
persia | And then (non-udeb) packages register their own directly? | 08:19 |
evand | hrm, perhaps this?: | 08:21 |
evand | /dev/sda1 on /cdrom | 08:21 |
evand | /dev/sda1 on /casper-rw-backing | 08:21 |
evand | everything else is unmounted (save /sys, /proc, /dev and /) | 08:22 |
CIA-50 | debian-installer: cjwatson * r966 ubuntu/debian/changelog: | 08:23 |
CIA-50 | debian-installer: No-change rebuild to pick up new components, including disabling the | 08:23 |
CIA-50 | debian-installer: broken e1000e driver. | 08:23 |
cjwatson | persia: d-i is magic in that questions with that owner don't get copied to the target system. (Disclaimer: I haven't checked recently that ubiquity honours this ...) | 08:24 |
cjwatson | persia: for everything else, setting an owner means that those questions will get unregistered when the owning package is purged | 08:25 |
* persia checks on a very recently ubiquity-installed system | 08:25 | |
CIA-50 | debian-installer: cjwatson * r967 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20080522ubuntu16 | 08:26 |
persia | Indeed. None of the d-i entries are shown by debconf-get-selections on a ubiquity-installed system. | 08:29 |
xivulon | superm1, lupin-casper is missing from mythbuntu, that is required to use it with wubi | 11:44 |
xivulon | superm1, after installing I am left with a ubuntu user | 15:13 |
superm1 | xivulon, do you need a disk mastered with lupin-casper then, or can you test around it? | 15:59 |
superm1 | xivulon, yeah i'm aware of that happening re: the ubuntu user, but not sure how to take care of it atm | 16:00 |
persia | superm1: What's happening with the ubuntu user? | 16:04 |
superm1 | persia, on mythbuntu disks the entire home directory for the "ubuntu" live session user isn't getting wiped | 16:04 |
superm1 | it comes from a side effect of the way that we build the disks i believe right now | 16:05 |
xivulon | superm1, would be better to have lupin-casper in the iso although I can work around | 16:05 |
persia | superm1: Are you copying /rofs ? | 16:05 |
* persia thought /home/ubuntu came from casper at boot time | 16:06 | |
superm1 | persia, just like regular ubuntu operates in copying files | 16:06 |
persia | strange. | 16:06 |
* persia grabs a mythbuntu image. | 16:06 | |
superm1 | its because i believe during our ISO generation something gets added - a background i believe | 16:06 |
superm1 | it showed up a while ago, and its been off my radar for a bit - but one of the deterants that has kept from switching to the livecd.sh that is used for making canonical disks | 16:07 |
superm1 | xivulon, is lupin-casper automatically removed when ubiquity is done, or would this be something that had to be added to code to do so? | 16:08 |
persia | superm1: You don't use livecd-rootfs livecd.sh ? | 16:09 |
xivulon | superm1, lupin-casper only affects the casper initrd adding extra boot options, so after installation it is not used since a regular initrd gets installed | 16:09 |
superm1 | persia, not currently - that was one of the things that i was going to convert over to this cycle, but with virtualbox being broke for such a long time, i didn't have a method to test CDs | 16:10 |
superm1 | other than burn and bring to real hardware | 16:10 |
superm1 | ah xivulon | 16:10 |
xivulon | that said we do install lupin-support at the end of the installation... | 16:11 |
superm1 | persia, we do a decent job at emulating most of it's functionality though atm | 16:12 |
xivulon | so that packages has to be on the iso | 16:12 |
persia | superm1: Hrm. Well, I'll look at the structure, and contents of the squashfs, but I suspect the migration might fix the issue. | 16:12 |
superm1 | persia, yeah i'm pretty sure it would. so hopefully for jaunty can take another stab at trying to migrate | 16:13 |
persia | I know that changing from Moblin Image Creator to livecd-rootfs fixed *lots* of issues with Ubuntu MID. | 16:13 |
persia | superm1: I only find the alternate CD. From where should I pull a daily? | 16:14 |
superm1 | persia, the daily mirror isn't public right now (we're migrating servers). grab alpha 6 | 16:14 |
superm1 | from mythbuntu.org | 16:14 |
superm1 | it will try to offer you a mirror local to you | 16:14 |
persia | OK. I'm not having luck with navigation. | 16:16 |
persia | Ah. Found it. | 16:16 |
superm1 | http://mythbuntu.org/download/?file=mythbuntu-8.10-alpha6-desktop-i386.iso | 16:16 |
persia | superm1: Yep. It's in your squashfs, which is why it gets there. | 16:25 |
superm1 | persia, well would you perhaps have a good recommendation on how to have a different background just during install then without making modifications to casper? | 16:25 |
persia | Nope. That would be a casper thing. | 16:26 |
superm1 | then most definitely will need to be deferred to jaunty | 16:26 |
persia | Well, it doesn't necessarily need modifications to core casper: you could just drop the additional casper scripts on the ISO. | 16:27 |
xivulon | nm resets static ip info and goes back to dhcp | 17:42 |
xivulon | the above is in mythbuntu not sure yet if the same holds on standard intrepid (settings get reset at reboot) | 17:44 |
xivulon | get the same behaviour on vm | 18:12 |
superm1 | xivulon, well we dont do anything special in NM | 18:13 |
superm1 | so i'd imagine same bugs holds true to both | 18:14 |
xivulon | added a comment to #5364 | 18:20 |
