| kirkland | TheMuso: huh? | 00:00 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: weird | 00:00 |
| TheMuso | kirkland: good question. | 00:00 |
| james_w | TheMuso: are you trying to commit in a checkout of a http branch? | 00:01 |
| TheMuso | james_w: I am trying to merge a branch into a lightweight checkout. | 00:01 |
| evand | james_w: yeah, it looks for a vfat partition, if it doesn't find one, it gives you an option to format the entire device to create one | 00:01 |
| james_w | evand: it may well be a bug there, give me a few to play a bit more | 00:01 |
| evand | I suspect the calls to partman might be lacking certain necessary options as there's been more than one bug report about this | 00:01 |
| james_w | TheMuso: I suspect you have a lightweight checkout over http:// rather than bzr+ssh:// | 00:02 |
| evand | james_w: perhaps try setting the lba flag using parted | 00:02 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: I was able to branch bzr branch lp:~kirkland/grub-installer/281492 | 00:02 |
| TheMuso | james_w: I am almost certain I don't, but I will double check. | 00:02 |
| james_w | TheMuso: "bzr info" may help | 00:02 |
| xivulon_ | evand, isn't proper_mountpoints supposed to be run after autopartition-loop? | 00:04 |
| evand | xivulon_: yes, it will be as it's in check.d | 00:04 |
| xivulon_ | does not look like autopartition-loop has been executed at all by the time check.d is run | 00:05 |
| james_w | hey xivulon_, how are you/ | 00:05 |
| xivulon_ | hi james_w | 00:05 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: any luck? | 00:06 |
| TheMuso | kirkland: Seems better once I used the full URL to checkout the main branch of grub-installer and merging yours now. Very weird. | 00:06 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: so i've tested this patch, and it works | 00:07 |
| james_w | TheMuso: do you have "bzr launchpad-login" set? | 00:07 |
| TheMuso | kirkland: Great. | 00:07 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: the only thing that bothers me is that I never did figure out *where* frdisk was getting set | 00:07 |
| TheMuso | james_w: Yes I do, as I use it elsewhere. | 00:07 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: but this patch definitely "un-sets" it in the /dev/vd* case | 00:07 |
| TheMuso | kirkland: The best way I have tracked such things down is to use set -x on the script, and open the execution path and the script side by side, and follow them both to see what logic is used and where variables are set. | 00:08 |
| kirkland | TheMuso: true, that's my method too ;-) | 00:08 |
| xivulon_ | yep it looks like autopartition-loop is not being run | 00:09 |
| TheMuso | kirkland: uploaded. | 00:17 |
| xivulon_ | seems that autopartition-loop is supposed to be started by 10initial_auto, but that one exits quite early because of get_auto_disks return null | 00:37 |
| xivulon_ | cjwatson, evand ^ | 00:37 |
| xivulon_ | /var/lib/partman/devices/ is empty | 00:39 |
| xivulon_ | which is because in partman/init.d/parted: # Exclude devices that have mounted partitions. | 01:30 |
| xivulon_ | well far too late, bed time | 01:32 |
| xivulon_ | ah preseeding partman/filter_mounted does the trick... | 01:47 |
| xivulon_ | evand please upload wubi rev 511 which corrects the above | 01:53 |
| xivulon_ | really bed time | 01:54 |
| === bdmurray_ is now known as bdmurray | ||
| evand | ah, my mistake for not mentioning that. It didn't immediately occur to me that it would affect you. | 04:56 |
| evand | Will do. | 04:56 |
| evand | xivulon: done, it should show up in the next CD build. | 05:15 |
| evand | I think it would be wise for me to start making mention of new preseed keys on ubuntu-installer@lists.ubuntu.com. I've made a note to remember to do that next time as part of the ubiquity release process. | 05:22 |
| TheMuso | cjwatson: Seems that a recent update probably to grub has solved the netboot dmraid installation alongside windows issue I was seeing. | 06:11 |
| evand | TheMuso: root-by-uuid or something else? | 06:15 |

| davmor2 | evand: I'll ping you after and let you know | 09:29 |
| cjwatson | evand: as I noted in the bug I suspect my fix might actually be wrong ... | 09:29 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure what the semantics of translating UUIDs to grub4dos ought to be | 09:30 |
| cjwatson | if you happen to know, please take a look | 09:30 |
| yannickm1 | cjwatson: Are you there ? | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | yannickm1: phone | 09:38 |
| yannickm1 | k | 09:38 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, evand, did you see ^? | 09:50 |
| xivulon | do you want me to contact grub4dos devs? | 09:50 |
| xivulon | I would need to add UUID discovery to wubi too (was under the impression that UUID were not going to land in time), now grub4dos uses heuristics (find --set-root) | 09:52 |
| xivulon | ah 283520 is fixed already, many thanks cjwatson | 09:58 |
| evand | xivulon: not necesarily. See what cjwatson said above. | 09:59 |
| * evand bed | 09:59 | |
| xivulon | ah one sec have a bit of catch up to do | 10:00 |
| xivulon | hmm cjwatson I an not sure UUID/relative/path is supported in wubi (using "root ()/relative/path" will certainly work) | 10:05 |
| xivulon | even if support was added and the change goes into hardy updates we would need to ship a new grub4dos | 10:06 |
| xivulon | and that does not really change things much, since wubi has a first (embedded) menu.lst that loads a second menu.lst (the one edited by update-grub) using heuristic | 10:09 |
| xivulon | the second menu.lst does not really change the root device (that is why an empty () is used), setting root there will not help matters | 10:10 |
| xivulon | I can change all of that but at this stage isn't it a bit late? Also the heuristic while clearly not elegant, has worked quite well so far and I had no complaints about that. It does not suffer from the multiple disks issues | 10:12 |
| xivulon | admittedly far from bullet proof | 10:13 |
| yannickm_ | cjwatson, i sent the logs and all related files to the mailing list | 10:13 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: is there meant to be an option in ubiquity to enable encrypted folder? | 10:37 |
| davmor2 | evand: Seems to be working now :-/ | 10:51 |
| davmor2 | Kubuntu that is | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: no, didn't make it | 11:07 |

| evand | james_w: ah! Thanks a bunch. I'll give that a test and some more thought. | 14:09 |
| evand | FWIW, if you boot with break=top you can sed in changes to the casper scripts. | 14:09 |
| james_w | ah, cool, that will be fun | 14:09 |
| cjwatson | james_w: I actually thought the first hack-patch was fairly reasonable :) | 14:55 |
| james_w | heh :-) | 14:56 |
| xivulon | evand by the way you could also have used grubinst/grub4dos in the live USB creator, not that it changes much, but it's confy to stay in the grub world | 15:00 |
| cjwatson | CDs aren't in the grub world anyway | 15:04 |
| xivulon | if you extract the content of the ISO into a folder, you can load the kernel/initrd therein which will then do the rest | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | let's keep it as it is :) | 15:05 |
| xivulon | s/folder/directory/ | 15:05 |
| persia | xivulon, One of the advantages of using syslinux over grub for USB is that one needn't worry about either the representation of the drive to grub in the booted system or calculating the UUID of the install media at media creation time. | 15:09 |
| xivulon | persia, not that it matters, but I don't think that either issue would be a major stumbling block, as the grub4dos bootloader (grldr) can set the root based on a file match, and you could easily get the UUID of the target partition for use in kopt | 15:24 |
| evand | You'd lose isolinux. | 15:26 |
| evand | err gfxboot | 15:26 |
| xivulon | correct | 15:26 |
| xivulon | but things such as kernel upgrades would be easier | 15:27 |
| evand | I think you're confused as to the purpose of this image. | 15:27 |
| persia | That's not ideal. One of the things I don't like about the ubuntu-{mid,mobile} images is the lack of gfxboot. While I'm unlikely to try to sort it for intrepid, making it definitely not work for USB is not ideal. | 15:27 |
| evand | It does not get updated, it's effectively a live CD. | 15:27 |
| persia | Well, with persistence, it could be updated, although I'd think it would be better to just do an install on a USB key for people who wanted that sort of thing. | 15:28 |
| xivulon | ah you'll probably need casper in the initrd though | 15:30 |
| xivulon | so "upgrading" to a stock initrd will not get you very far... | 15:30 |

| james_w | it boots, and changes are present on second boot | 16:33 |
| evand | fantastic! | 16:34 |
| evand | I'll continue setting up a test after the meeting. | 16:34 |
| james_w | will $PERSISTENT=1 become the default when it works? | 16:37 |
| evand | james_w: can you elaborate on what you mean? | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | we'll be setting it on USB installs if the relevant widget is selected in usb-creator | 16:39 |
| james_w | good | 16:40 |
| james_w | it would be pretty confusing otherwise :-) | 16:40 |

| evand | charlie-tca: why do you suspect a fix for manual partitioning is the cause of the live CD booting slowly for you? | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | It wasn't so slow yesterday. | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | Could have been another change, I guess. | 17:58 |

| evand | quite | 18:20 |
| cjwatson | it's saved in /var/log/casper.log | 18:20 |
| cjwatson | oh, you mean with set -x? | 18:20 |
| james_w | if possible | 18:20 |
| james_w | and this is on shutdown | 18:20 |

| cjwatson | by "we" I mean "somebody else" | 18:21 |
| evand | hahaha | 18:22 |
| james_w | :-) | 18:22 |
| evand | james_w: I just ran sed -i '2i set -x' scripts/casper after break=top. | 18:23 |
| james_w | and that ends up in /var/log/casper.log? | 18:24 |
| evand | it should | 18:24 |
| evand | or if it dies before you escape the initramfs, /casper.log | 18:24 |
| james_w | I need the shutdown part though, is that on volatile storage? | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | depends how late you need it | 18:26 |
| cjwatson | the most practical approach might be to spew it to console and disable the actual reboot bit ... | 18:26 |

| cilkay | cjwatson: Hi. I saw one difference between what I passed to the kernel for my preseed installation and what you suggested in your response to my question on the list. I have: append auto locale=en_CA console-setup/layoutcode=en_US You suggested console-setup/layoutcode=us Is that significant? | 22:58 |
| cilkay | And en_CA is not the same as en_CA.UTF-8 as far as I can tell. | 22:59 |
| cilkay | I want to end up with en_CA.UTF-8 for locale at the end of the installation. | 22:59 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: yes, console layouts are not the same as locales | 23:00 |
| cjwatson | console-setup/layoutcode is the same as what you would put in XkbLayout in xorg.conf | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | there is no XKB layout called "en_US" | 23:01 |
| cilkay | ok | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: you can safely set locale=en_CA.UTF-8, although I think it may actually default to that anyway (the code is a bit twisty, I'd have to try it to be absolutely sure) | 23:02 |
| cilkay | I'm going to try another installation right now. | 23:02 |
| cilkay | From what I recall, I had tried setting to locale=en_CA.UTF-8 but I had gotten the prompt for locale when the system booted. | 23:03 |
| cilkay | It was a week ago so that might not be accurate. | 23:03 |
| cilkay | I'll try right now. | 23:03 |
| cjwatson | ok, I'm seriously not getting any further with 283861 until I have coffee | 23:06 |
| cjwatson | you know when you zone out, read the same thing you just read, zone out, read the same thing you just read ...? | 23:06 |
| cilkay | No, never happens here :) | 23:07 |
| * TheMuso can agree with cjwatson on that one, although sleep is usually the fix for me. I am not a fan of pumping myself with coffee. | 23:07 | |
| cilkay | I haven't been able to preseed away the prompt for removing existing logical volumes either so I gave up on LVM and just went for regular partitions. | 23:07 |
| cjwatson | TheMuso: it definitely isn't good long-term | 23:08 |
| TheMuso | cjwatson: Indeed, which is why I just stay away. :) | 23:08 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: the hardy installation guide is wrong here - the correct rune is "d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true" | 23:09 |
| cilkay | thanks | 23:10 |
| cilkay | I probably won't use LVM in any case because I haven't figured out how to specify a different volume group name per machine. I don't like naming them all the same thing because I've run into problems when I've had to move a physical disk from one machine to another and had a name clash on the volume group. | 23:11 |

| cilkay | Rats! It seems ssh is not running on the freshly-installed system. | 23:30 |
| cilkay | That's because it wasn't installed. Doing another installation. | 23:32 |
| cilkay | The keyboard mapping is fine, though I have no idea why. | 23:40 |
| cilkay | The *only* thing I changed between the previous broken mapping and this one is that I enabled a commented out line for installing OpenSSH server | 23:40 |
| cilkay | I suspect that the "server" task has files for locales whereas "standard" might now. | 23:41 |
| cilkay | not | 23:41 |
| cilkay | Previously, I had: | 23:41 |
| cilkay | tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard | 23:41 |
| cilkay | The keyboard mapping was wrong and I couldn't ssh to the box to correct it. | 23:42 |
| cilkay | I commented out that line and removed the comment from the following line: | 23:42 |

| cilkay | Now the locale is fine and all is right with the world. | 23:43 |
| cilkay | I think I had two problems. | 23:43 |
| cilkay | 1. I had set the layoutcode to en_US. | 23:43 |
| cilkay | 2. Locales weren't being installed. | 23:44 |
| cilkay | All the irrelevant bits that I had in the preseed file regarding console-setup probably had nothing to do with it. | 23:44 |
| cilkay | I had added those out of desperation when nothing else seemed to be working. | 23:44 |
| cilkay | I had the much simpler preseed file, as per the paste I have above, before and the keyboard mapping was wrong. | 23:45 |
| cilkay | Anyway, cjwatson thank you very much for putting me on the right track. | 23:45 |
| cilkay | I plan to document the whole thing once I've finished. | 23:46 |
| cilkay | I have a nice setup now with apt-cacher, PXE, and preseeding. | 23:46 |
| cilkay | I have to configure KDE with the kiosk tool and figure out how to deploy those changes. | 23:47 |
| cilkay | I'll probably use cfengine to handle change management. | 23:47 |
| cilkay | Oh, another item on the TODO list... figure out how to get all these preseeded machines authenticating against OpenLDAP or OpenLDAP/Kerberos. | 23:49 |
| cilkay | I'm scarred by past encounters with both so I'm a bit wary of them but I figure the third time around might go smoother. | 23:50 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: thoroughly bizarre - (a) locales aren't part of the server task (b) they shouldn't affect console-setup anyway! | 23:51 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: (neither task has them, but pkgsel is supposed to install them anyway) | 23:52 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: that said you ought to be putting openssh-server not OpenSSH server in tasksel/first | 23:52 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: usually in order to figure out what's wrong with console-setup I need /etc/default/console-setup after the broken installation | 23:53 |
| cilkay | Which I couldn't get to you because I didn't have sshd running. | 23:53 |
| cjwatson | cilkay: I'm still somewhat interested in what's causing it, even though it's fixed for you, since you aren't the first person who's had the problem and I haven't really got to the bottom of it | 23:53 |
| cilkay | It's easy for me to reinstall this and try to repeat it. | 23:53 |
| cilkay | It takes only a few minutes. | 23:53 |
| cilkay | I have all the packages sitting in my apt-cacher cache and with PXE booting, it's a matter of me rebooting and typing "auto" at the grub prompt. | 23:54 |
| cilkay | BTW, the OpenSSH bit, I found that on-line somewhere. | 23:55 |
| cjwatson | oh, hmm, I can't say I really support the 'auto' stuff, that's something that Phil Hands developed in Debian and I haven't taken a good look at yet | 23:55 |
| cilkay | No, no. That's just my GRUB boot label. | 23:55 |
| cilkay | I could have called it "mickey mouse" and it would still work. | 23:55 |
| cjwatson | it is? you have "append auto ..." | 23:56 |
| cilkay | Oh that part. | 23:56 |
| cilkay | Again, that I copied/pasted from someplace, don't recall where. | 23:56 |
| cilkay | Get rid of the "auto" there? | 23:56 |
| cjwatson | TBH it probably doesn't make any difference, we don't have that stuff in our initrd :) | 23:57 |
| cilkay | I was talking about the boot label. | 23:57 |
| cjwatson | that doesn't matter | 23:57 |
| cilkay | cjwatson: Isn't this wrong? ==> tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard | 23:59 |
| cilkay | Note the leading tasksel. | 23:59 |
| cilkay | That should be "d-i", I think. | 23:59 |
| cilkay | That could have been why it was borked. | 23:59 |
