| CarlFK | can I anna-install python into the installer env? | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| kirkland | CarlFK: often, you have to append -udeb to anna-install'd stuff | 02:49 |
| kirkland | in my experience | 02:49 |
| CarlFK | yeah - python-udeb "not found" | 02:51 |
| CarlFK | im guessing all the included modules might be a problem | 02:51 |
| CarlFK | hmm.. they could all live in zip files... maybe even one big zip file. | 02:52 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| cjwatson | CarlFK: no, it isn't packaged as a udeb; adding -udeb won't help you when it doesn't exist. :-) You can try 'udpkg -i /cdrom/pool/main/p/python2.5/python2.5-minimal_*.deb' and that *might* work ... | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | CarlFK: I don't see what a zip file could conceivably have to do with anything | 09:37 |
| CarlFK | cjwatson: zip to keep the memory footprint small | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | pointless | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | (a) debs are already compressed (b) once installed it needs to be uncompressed so that python can use it | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | (c) installing python in the installer is an insanely minority use case anywya | 09:39 |
| CarlFK | python can read modules from zips, so only the things being used would get decompressed | 09:40 |
| CarlFK | I didn't say it was a good idea :) | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | would be very very slow ... | 09:42 |
| CarlFK | I converted my late_command shell script to python so that I could run it after the fact with some command line parameters | 09:43 |
| cjwatson | you can do that with shell scripts too ... | 09:43 |
| CarlFK | but now I have 2 scripts that do the same thing. was trying to fiugre out if I could get rid of the shell one | 09:43 |
| CarlFK | yeah, the python version turned out to be a pretty bad idea | 09:44 |
| CarlFK | touching /etc/..gdm.conf needs sudo, but then touching some /home/user files leave root:root perms that I needed to reset.. it was a learning experience | 09:46 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: hw-detect/disk-detect.sh tries to modprobe dm-emc if multipath is used, but that module has gone since 2.6.27. ok to fix in bzr? | 09:55 |
| tjaalton | (the installer just asks for module options and continues if left blank) | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | tjaalton: sure | 09:56 |
| tjaalton | hope I got it right | 10:19 |
| xivulon | evand can you have a quick look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1015752 | 10:55 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: is there away to access the log files on a live cd with no access to virtual terminals? | 11:52 |
| cjwatson | not really ... | 11:55 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I'm just think what would happen if I try to run the install from the start menu I'll give it a try and see | 11:57 |
| davmor2 | no | 11:59 |
| davmor2 | just a black screen now. | 12:00 |
| davmor2 | Although I notice that I got alt-ctrl-f2 while usplash was running so I'll see if if throws up any errors during standard boot | 12:01 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: Yay I got a terminal :) | 12:06 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: which is the best log files for the live desktop is it just /var/syslog ? | 12:06 |
| cjwatson | /var/log/installer/syslog /var/log/installer/debug | 12:07 |
| cjwatson | assuming you tried starting the installer and it failed | 12:07 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: no the screenshot is the live desktop not installed. | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | oh so you're saying that the problem is that the desktop doesn't start at all, not that the installer fails? | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | not really something for this channel then ... | 12:15 |
| davmor2 | that's what was confusing me | 12:16 |
| CIA-61 | tzsetup: cjwatson * r496 ubuntu/debian/control: set Maintainer and Vcs-Bzr for Ubuntu | 12:35 |
| evand | xivulon: the problem was that the checksumming of the file copy failed | 14:03 |
| evand | you could preseed that away, but then you'd lose checksumming | 14:03 |
| xivulon | evand I saw that but why would that normally happen? is it because the copy operation produced a bogus copy? | 14:29 |
| evand | any number of reasons can lead to a bad file copy | 14:29 |
| evand | but that was the end result | 14:29 |
| xivulon | well in this case then failing is the right thing to do I guess | 14:29 |
| evand | the copied file didn't match the file on the source medium | 14:29 |
| evand | I think so, until we can come up with a better way of handling such errors. | 14:30 |
