| lukehasnoname | Major effing flaw in the alternate installer | 06:43 |
| persia | lukehasnoname, More detail and less emotion leads to better response :) | 06:44 |
| lukehasnoname | persia: I've spent all day trying to figure the problem and only attempting a Fedora install led me to realize the problem: | 06:44 |
| lukehasnoname | I was allowed to partition my drive in such a way that my bootable partition was on LVM | 06:45 |
| lukehasnoname | so it tried installing LILO | 06:45 |
| lukehasnoname | which didn't work | 06:45 |
| lukehasnoname | then I thought it was a JFS problem | 06:45 |
| lukehasnoname | so I reinstalled with a different fs | 06:45 |
| lukehasnoname | still didn't work, Tried installing grub from a rescue disc. Failed. Figured this might be some remnant of the encrypted partitions I had, among other things, and so I reinstalled both Vista AND ubuntu. | 06:46 |
| lukehasnoname | didn't fix the problem. FINALLY I tried installing Fedora, which threw a warning when I put a bootable partition on LVM | 06:46 |
| lukehasnoname | thus I remembered that you can't do that. | 06:47 |
| lukehasnoname | </report> | 06:47 |
| lukehasnoname | SO might I suggest it be added to the installer a warning when someone has their /boot on an LVM, at least until grub overcomes that issue | 06:48 |
| persia | Yes. You'd want to file a bug. I'd probably start by filing it against partman-lvm, although it might be something else that ends up being the solution. | 06:49 |
| lukehasnoname | mk | 06:50 |
| lukehasnoname | seriously. I resinstalled Ubuntu 4 times and Vista once | 06:50 |
| lukehasnoname | and fedora .2 times | 06:50 |
| persia | I understand your pain, but there's no quick fix really. | 06:51 |
| lukehasnoname | if (/boot is on LVM) alert("NOOOOOOOOOO"); | 06:51 |
| lukehasnoname | >_> | 06:52 |

| CIA-1 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2922 ubiquity/scripts/install.py: sort difference set (easier to follow while debugging, and matches what I tested) | 21:24 |

| xivulon_ | cjwatson, it occurred to me that the metalink.md5.gpg for mythbuntu has to be signed with the cdimage key | 21:56 |
| xivulon_ | the mythbuntu guys will not be able to do that, but is it something that can be organized? | 21:57 |
| cjwatson | no, they'll need to arrange to sign it with some other key, which wubi should trust if that's needed | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | unless there's a metalink.md5.gpg built on cdimage.ubuntu.com | 23:31 |
| cjwatson | I'm not willing to have that key sign things we didn't build | 23:31 |
