| superm1 | or /host/ubuntu/mythtv I suppose | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xivulon | yep, although you cannot be completely sure about /host/ubuntu but will do for 8.10 | 00:00 |
| cjwatson | ./autopartition-loop:285: mkdir -p "/host${path%/*}" | 00:00 |
| cjwatson | so yes | 00:01 |
| superm1 | xivulon, why wouldn't /host/ubuntu do it? isn't that where the loop image gets stored? | 00:02 |
| xivulon | finished copying now | 00:03 |
| xivulon | so seems syncio is in because it seems a bit slower, not 10x worse though as predicted by cking | 00:03 |
| xivulon | superm1 yes, but in the future it might be /host/mythbuntu | 00:04 |
| superm1 | xivulon, well what happens for kubuntu,xubuntu etc? | 00:05 |
| superm1 | do they get /host/xubuntu? | 00:05 |
| xivulon | no all in /host/ubuntu in 8.10, I meant things might change in future versions, but we will have time to do it properly then | 00:06 |
| mathiaz | hm - in a partman recipe, if I set a priority that is bigger than the size of the disk is, the install fails (with an unable to create partition error) | 00:10 |
| mathiaz | is that expected ? although the minimum size fits the disk | 00:11 |
| mathiaz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/53318/ <- that's the partman expert recipe - however the drives are 1GB in size. | 00:12 |
| mathiaz | the last partition is not created. | 00:13 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: I'm totally not going there after midnight, but you can ask me again tomorrow ... | 00:15 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: sure | 00:16 |
| superm1 | xivulon, ah well that would just be modfiying the preseed anyway if that behavior changed | 00:17 |
| superm1 | xivulon, i'll do some experiments with a preseed for master backend frontend then too and see how things work out | 00:18 |
| xivulon | cool | 00:18 |
| xivulon | have a build ready | 00:18 |
| xivulon | test went well | 00:18 |
| xivulon | other than nm | 00:18 |
| xivulon | I think that the main advantage of allowing a backend is sparing me the trouble to answer "What is a backend? Why can't I press forward?" :P | 00:20 |
| xivulon | evand wubi rev 509 is up | 00:21 |
| xivulon | superm1 http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-8.10-rev509.exe | 00:31 |
| xivulon | evand wubi 509 is required if we have lupin 111+ | 00:34 |
| xivulon | hi, didn't notice that the kde3.5 -kde4 dicothomy has been abolished | 09:27 |
| xivulon | will need a new revision for wubi | 09:28 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: Yes kubuntu is just kde 4.1.2 now | 09:29 |
| xivulon | Ok uploaded wubi rev 5.10 (evand all yours), Davmor, please test http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-8.10-rev510.exe | 09:36 |
| xivulon | davmor2 ^ | 09:36 |
| xivulon | that also contains the uninstaller progressbar fix by the way | 09:36 |
| xivulon | have to go now | 09:36 |
| cjwatson | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ - some folks here might be interested in that set of landing pages | 10:02 |
| cjwatson | they're just links to the right bits of the archive | 10:02 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: sweet | 10:05 |
| persia | cjwatson: Should those be scheduled to test cases, etc. as with other images? | 10:08 |
| davmor2 | persia: netboot is | 10:10 |
| persia | Ah. I suppose I was confused by two images vs. 7 images, but it all becomes clear now. | 10:10 |
| davmor2 | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/netboot/all | 10:11 |
| persia | Yeah :) | 10:11 |
| cjwatson | I'll update for older releases as well when I have a chance | 10:12 |
| davmor2 | I've just done all the vista updates and am resaving the partitions. 15.85 GB for vista and nearly 2 gig for system partition so nearly 20gig total | 10:42 |
| xivulon | evand can we have a new iso with new wubi (510) and lupin (115) and sysvinit (2.86.ds1-59ubuntu9)? | 11:35 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: is this to remedy the loop issue | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: let's wait for the cron jobs to be turned back on | 11:37 |
| xivulon | ok | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | Steve hasn't done that so it wouldn't surprise me if he's intentionally letting cdimage cope with the beta load for a while | 11:37 |
| xivulon | davmor2: what loop issue do you refer to exactly? | 11:38 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/204133 this one | 11:40 |
| xivulon | ah yes | 11:40 |
| === davmor2 is now known as davmor2_lunch | ||
| superm1 | xivulon, okay i downloaded it. i'm going to do a build today with my own patched network manager on our hotfixes PPA and make sure that network manager bug is resolved | 14:30 |

| xivulon | cjwatson, cking was mentioning that it might be better to use dm-loop as opposed to loop for performance reasons, do you think it would be feasible? | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | I don't know anything about it - it doesn't *sound* difficult | 16:28 |
| xivulon | would not think so, I have asked cking to join us though | 16:31 |
| xivulon | hi cking, was discussing with cjwatson about your suggestion to use dm-loop as opposed to losetup | 16:31 |
| cking_ | Ok. its a case of modprobing dm-loop and then I using dmlosetup (this is a symlink to the dmsetup binary) | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | does that amount to some arguments to dmsetup? | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | (otherwise we could change dmsetup-udeb to add that symlink I suppose) | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | is dmlosetup equivalent to mount in that setup? | 16:33 |
| cking_ | cjwatson: The rune I used was: | 16:33 |
| cking_ | dmlosetup loop1 /mnt/ntfs/wubi_ext3.img | 16:33 |
| cking_ | and then mount -o loop /dev/mapper/loop1 /some/mount/point | 16:34 |
| cking_ | that's it | 16:34 |
| cking_ | ..of course the path names need to be changed to match the Wubi config | 16:35 |
| xivulon | if I want to list the loop devices, can I still use losetup? | 16:35 |
| cking_ | xivulon: not sure. never tried that | 16:35 |
| xivulon | would be good to know as some script that does not actually mount the devices, might be using losetup to check the setup | 16:36 |
| xivulon | or detach them | 16:37 |
| cking_ | dmlosetup -f is reporting that this it's not currently implemented .. and AFAIK losetup won't help us for this case | 16:40 |
| cking_ | xivulon: mm.. I don't know how to list the dmloop devices. | 16:54 |
| xivulon | does $(dmlosetup /dev/loop$loopn) spit out the same string as losetup? | 16:57 |
| cking_ | xivulon: ..just a mo. | 17:02 |
| cking_ | xivulon: /dev/mapper is populated with loopN when loopN is created. You can therefore tell which dm-loop devices are being used | 17:09 |
| cking_ | /dev/mapper/control should always exist for 0-N dm-loop devices | 17:11 |
| superm1 | xivulon, can you pop in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | 17:12 |
| superm1 | tgm has some more questions | 17:12 |
| xivulon | the files that need to be modifed should only be autopartition-loop and initramfs/scripts/local | 17:13 |
| xivulon | init.d scripts should be fine, have to check grub/grub-installer but should be ok | 17:13 |
| xivulon | superm1 sure | 17:13 |
| xivulon | #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | 17:13 |
| xivulon | #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | 17:13 |
| xivulon | ops paste gone wrong | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | dmlosetup doesn't exist in Ubuntu | 17:20 |
| cking_ | cjwatson: it's a symlink to dmsetup | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | not here it ain't | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | command-not-found reckons it's not in intrepid | 17:20 |
| cking_ | cjwatson: one needs to symlink it by (hand at the moment) - which needs to be fixed | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | ah | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | somebody should file a bug on devmapper about that | 17:21 |
| cking_ | cjwatson: yep... I seemed to overlook it back in July when I started faffing around with dm-loop | 17:22 |
| cking_ | cjwatson: I will create a bug report in a short while for this | 17:31 |
