| TheMuso | cjwatson: Just wondering what procedure you use to merge d-i bits with debian, consdiering debian uses svn and we use bzr. I tried creating a bzr import branch from debian svn for one of my merges, but bzr claims there is no shared root. Am I msising something? | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | TheMuso: I have Launchpad do imports for me | 11:05 |
| cjwatson | look on code.launchpad.net/whatever for the vcs-imports branch | 11:05 |
| TheMuso | cjwatson: ah ok. | 11:05 |
| TheMuso | That should be enough then, thanks. | 11:05 |
| cjwatson | it's usually just lp:whatever, in fact | 11:06 |

| CIA-2 | oem-config: cjwatson * r559 oem-config/ (5 files in 2 dirs): | 11:43 |
| CIA-2 | oem-config: Create a BaseFrontend class and move various things to it; it now counts | 11:43 |
| CIA-2 | oem-config: as a relatively clear specification of what a frontend has to implement. | 11:43 |
| sakle | cjwatson: Has the format of the kickstart files changed significantly in intrepid? Ours is broken in multiple locations. | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | sakle: no, it hasn't | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | sakle: I'm happy to investigate a specific example of breakage | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | sakle: it will help if you can also produce /var/log/syslog from the installer | 11:55 |
| sakle | http://pastebin.com/d7f17db2c | 11:56 |
| sakle | for exampel | 11:57 |
| cjwatson | and the syslog? | 11:57 |
| sakle | http://pastebin.com/ma1fffae | 11:59 |
| sakle | It's not very informative | 11:59 |
| cjwatson | no, the whole syslog | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | not just a snippet | 12:00 |
| sakle | Sure, one second | 12:00 |
| cjwatson | what is --size=0 without --grow supposed to mean? that indicates a zero-sized partition not permitted to grow | 12:01 |
| sakle | Well, we need file based swaps | 12:01 |
| sakle | not partitions | 12:02 |
| cjwatson | not supported by d-i | 12:02 |
| sakle | right, so I create a appendix swap, and remove it with puppet | 12:02 |
| cjwatson | if you don't want a swap partition then don't list it in the kickstart file, and set up a swap file yourself later | 12:02 |
| sakle | Yes, but then you have to tell d-i you really don't want a swap partition | 12:03 |
| cjwatson | yes, you do. | 12:03 |
| cjwatson | that's not hard though, you can preseed that | 12:03 |
| cjwatson | anyway, I still need the full syslog from you, this is just speculation | 12:03 |
| sakle | coming, 10 more seconds | 12:04 |
| sakle | needed a pastebin with upload support | 12:04 |
| sakle | more than 150k | 12:07 |
| sakle | need another one | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | paste.ubuntu.com? | 12:08 |
| sakle | http://www8.picsearch.com/syslog | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | ok, that's a successful install apparently - is the failure that partitions come out wrong? | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | sakle: I note that that got HTTP 503 when trying to retrieve things from string.lan.picsearch.com | 12:11 |
| sakle | the failure is that the root user is not made, and the partitions are wrong | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | I can't help with the root user unless I see your full kickstart file; feel free to replace passwords in it | 12:12 |
| sakle | In fact, the partitions are not made at all, It needs manual intervention at that stage | 12:12 |
| sakle | 1 sec | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | hm, there does seem to be some kind of systemic parsing problem here, that's odd | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | the exact same file worked in hardy? | 12:13 |
| * soren is somewhat surprised by the all caps output from apt | 12:13 | |
| soren | I thought we fixed that.. :/ | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | because http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/atomic/ubuntu/k/kickseed/kickseed_0.49.patch was the total kickseed patch from hardy to intrepid | 12:14 |
| sakle | yes, the file worked in hardy | 12:14 |
| sakle | and gutsy | 12:14 |
| cjwatson | soren: to my knowledge we never figured out what was calling the relevant ioctl | 12:14 |
| soren | cjwatson: kees and I found it last summer. | 12:14 |
| cjwatson | where? | 12:14 |
| sakle | http://www8.picsearch.com/ksnp.cfg | 12:15 |
| soren | cjwatson: Good question. We fixed it, and I went on my merry way :) | 12:15 |
| soren | cjwatson: I don't remember, to be honest. I'm quite sure it was apt. | 12:15 |
| * soren goes to look | 12:15 | |
| soren | * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: | 12:16 |
| soren | - merged patch from Kees Cook to fix anoying upper-case display | 12:16 |
| soren | on amd64 in sbuild | 12:16 |
| soren | ...and the patch is still there :( | 12:16 |
| * soren goes to find a bigger hammer | 12:16 | |
| StevenK | Screaming terminal on amd64 came back? | 12:17 |
| soren | StevenK: http://www8.picsearch.com/syslog | 12:17 |
| soren | StevenK: In some cases, apparantly. | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | sakle: looking | 12:19 |
| sakle | Thanks | 12:19 |
| soren | Hm... Very interesting. It switched to all-caps in the middle of the output. | 12:19 |
| soren | Ah, no. My bad. | 12:19 |
| cjwatson | hmm, odd, I can't reproduce the parsing problems with the test harness | 12:21 |
| sakle | It complains to the console about getopt problems-- The console is not saved, is it? | 12:22 |
| sakle | (when parsing) | 12:22 |
| cjwatson | whoa | 12:22 |
| cjwatson | yes, just noticed that | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | that's clearly the problem | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | debian/config/config.udeb:# CONFIG_GETOPT_LONG is not set | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | well, shit | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | I'm sorry we didn't catch this | 12:24 |
| sakle | I can fix this by modifying that flag in the initrd, then | 12:25 |
| cjwatson | only by rebuilding busybox and the installer | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | you can't modify that trivially | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | this is fixed in Debian, apparently | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | sakle: could you please file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+filebug about this? | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | sakle: are you using a netboot installation? if so then I can build an update for you | 12:27 |
| sakle | Yes and no. Netboot, except for the kernel and the initrd, which are on a usb stick, to prevent pxe accidents | 12:27 |
| cjwatson | right, I mean the netboot image rather than how you boot it | 12:28 |
| sakle | Is this irc convo linkable from somewhere, as evidence that this is a real problem for the bug report? | 12:28 |
| cjwatson | don't worry about that, just describe the problem and I'll expand on it | 12:29 |
| cjwatson | (it is, irclogs.ubuntu.com) | 12:29 |
| sakle | Yes, please, that would be great (If you would build a update) | 12:29 |
| sakle | I've registered on the bug thing-- I'm waiting for the email. | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | update is building | 12:32 |
| sakle | By the way, cjwatson, can kickstart support disk selection now | 12:32 |
| cjwatson | though not officially as yet, just on my laptop | 12:32 |
| sakle | Right now, as you can see in the ksnp i remove sda and rmmod usbstorage | 12:32 |
| sakle | to ensure that it doesn't install to the usb stick itself | 12:33 |
| cjwatson | you've always been able to select a disk, but I think what you're asking is selecting it in a reliable way that does not rely on enumerated device names | 12:33 |
| sakle | I don't really care about which disk it installs to, just as long as it is not /dev/sda, which is the installation usb stick. As I understand it, you can use the uuid, but you won't know it when installing on a random machine | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | our kickstart implementation does not support that natively, but if you can come up with a shell fragment that figures out which device to use then it is possible to have that run to decide which device to use | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | is the USB stick reliably /dev/sda on your system? | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | because if that's reliable, why not just say clearpart --drives /dev/sdb? | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | disks do not really have UUIDs; I think you picked that up from some different bit of documentation | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | *filesystems* have UUIDs | 12:36 |
| sakle | The shell fragment you mentioned, would that run in the %pre? | 12:37 |
| sakle | I suppose I can take anything that doesn't have the same disk label of the usb stick? | 12:38 |
| sakle | Not always /dev/sda no. But we have a large number of machines where the usb stick is reliably /dev/sda | 12:39 |
| cjwatson | technically %pre is before disks have been detected; in intrepid, you can put it in 'preseed partman/early_command string ...' and just make sure that the last thing it does is 'db_set partman-auto/disk "$disk"' | 12:39 |
| cjwatson | (replace "$disk" with whatever) | 12:39 |
| sakle | Ok, thanks. | 12:40 |

| tjaalton | I'm having a hard time netbooting hardy, it refuses to install linux-generic since -image-generic/l-r-m-generic are "not going to be installed" | 14:05 |
| tjaalton | oh wait, maybe the netboot image is too old | 14:08 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: is it just me or is the latest d-i stuck in hardy-proposed when it should be in -updates? | 14:11 |
| cjwatson | tjaalton: haven't put a whole lot of effort into hardy-proposed recently, but will do soon since 8.04.2 is coming up | 14:56 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: the inability to install is what bothers me now, but I remember that something similar happened in June(ish).. it had something to do with the kernel versions in updates/security.. | 14:57 |
| tjaalton | oh well, need to install something now.. intrepid then | 15:03 |
