| cjwatson | mpt: as well as loop-mounting the ISO (which could be done using fuseiso too), writing to the target USB stick requires privileges greater than that given to an ordinary user | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | superm1: I'm worried that 10 seconds is too short; X is sometimes really slow | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | superm1: how about, instead, we add something to allow it not to even try X, which you could set when you don't have a monitor connected? | 10:28 |

| mpt | cjwatson, I don't need to authenticate when copying other files to the USB stick. Is there something special about the files usb-creator copies? | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | mpt: yes - when you copy files in other ways you're going through the filesystem layer, which has been explicitly told to allow access to ordinary users. usb-creator also has to do things like install a bootloader on the stick, which is outside that | 13:57 |
| cjwatson | mpt: and indeed it often formats the device as well | 13:58 |
| mpt | ok | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | that said I'd prefer usb-creator to escalate privileges just for the bits it needs rather than for the whole UI | 13:59 |
| mpt | agreed | 14:01 |
| evand | I have policykit support on my long-term todo list | 14:07 |
| mark | cjwatson: thanks, you rock ;) | 15:00 |
| cjwatson | mark: if you can test on jaunty, that'd be great - I had no way to test it myself | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | mark: I just sent a patch to grub2 upstream, tested just as little | 15:17 |
| mark | hmm | 15:17 |
| mark | or I try to apply that patch to grub in hardy perhaps | 15:17 |
| mark | because I need it in there anyhow :) | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | mm, maybe, it'll probably take some work | 15:17 |
| mark | is this something I could outsource to our canonical on our support contract? >;-) | 15:18 |
| mark | probably not, many disk machines just not yet supported | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | um, don't know, you could always ask :) | 15:19 |
| mark | I'll look at it soon | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | the patch is very small if you ignore the pile of stuff to add checking that we don't overflow the BIOS disk limit | 15:20 |
| mark | right | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | grub2 seems to do that completely differently so I skipped that check there | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | if you have 128 disks or fewer then that part won't be a problem for you | 15:20 |
| mark | just 48 now ;) | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | ok, should be fine | 15:21 |
| mark | if you have to rack them you'll agree that it's enough ;) | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | I can only imagine :) | 15:21 |
| mark | hmm it applied cleanly | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | lucky you :) | 16:00 |
| mark | indeed :) | 16:00 |
| Akkernight_ | Hello. How can I see if my Ubuntu is 64bit | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | Akkernight_: this would be better asked on #ubuntu | 16:03 |
| Akkernight_ | I know, I\ve tried for ages to join that channel, just can\t find it | 16:03 |
| Akkernight_ | well, now it worked | 16:03 |
| mark | Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. | 16:06 |
| mark | alas | 16:06 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, from what i was seeing, it was starting up in < 1 second. let me ping bryce and see if he's got some ideas on how to try to start X w/o a monitor connected | 16:07 |
| superm1 | and even from slower media i was seeing about 3-4 seconds | 16:07 |
| cjwatson | superm1: sure, I'm just unwilling to believe that that's true everywhere, given the general state of ... well, hardware | 16:07 |
| superm1 | right | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | superm1: I would rather be conservative in ubiquity-dm, to avoid creating issues for other people; and give you a way to solve your problem | 16:08 |
| mark | cjwatson: I see 48 drives in /target/boot/grub/device.map now | 16:08 |
| mark | however hd0, or /dev/sda is not bootable on this box :( | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | mark: so is that really an issue with lots of drives? | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | I wouldn't expect bootability of /dev/sda to be affected by how many drives are attached | 16:09 |
| mark | no | 16:09 |
| mark | that is true | 16:09 |
| mark | how does it determine which drives it needs to install on? | 16:11 |
| cjwatson | mark: grub-installer tells grub-install (beware confusing naming) what to do; it should be preseedable | 16:16 |
| mark | ok | 16:17 |
| mark | indeed | 16:19 |
| CIA-3 | hw-detect: cjwatson * r109 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.71ubuntu5 | 16:33 |

| mark | The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. | 16:57 |
| mark | any clues? :) | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | would need an strace, I think | 16:59 |

| CIA-3 | partman-auto-lvm: cjwatson * r219 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 32ubuntu5 | 17:00 |

| mark | hmm | 17:24 |
| mark | it only seems to want hd0-7 | 17:24 |
| mark | from hd8 onwards it says this error | 17:24 |
| mark | but hmm | 17:43 |
| mark | Solaris uses grub too | 17:43 |
| cjwatson | for some reason it seems to check (current_drive & 0xFFFFFF7F) < 8 | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | stage2/disk_io.c:sane_partition | 17:47 |
| mark | well spotted | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | I wonder if I have any hope of figuring out why | 17:47 |
| mark | I guess I'm just gonna raise it and see ;) | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg00525.html | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | seems to be the thread that caused this to be introduced | 17:53 |
| davmor2 | evand: when is the new coloured map going into ubiquity? | 17:57 |
| mark | but no explanation for that magic value | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | something to do with floppies by the looks of things | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | I'll scratch my head about it a bit and see if I can work something out | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | in the meantime your workaround is probably to change that function | 18:16 |
| mark | yes, I'll do that, it'll at least tell us something | 18:17 |
| mark | "does grub crash and die horribly if you do that" | 18:17 |
| mark | "is this the last blocker" | 18:18 |

| mark | Mar 4 18:29:45 debconf: --> SET grub-installer/bootdev (hd24) | 18:53 |

| mark | and yet: | 18:53 |
| mark | Mar 4 18:44:47 debconf: --> SUBST grub-installer/progress/step_install_loader BOOTDEV (hd0) | 18:53 |
| mark | Mar 4 18:44:47 debconf: Adding [BOOTDEV] -> [(hd0)] | 18:53 |
| mark | should that be /dev/sdy perhaps? | 18:53 |
| mark | worth a try... | 18:53 |
| Wellark | just installed kubuntu jaunty alpha5 on my laptop.. long story short: installer overrided my MBR and TrueCrypt bootloader with it as it didn't bother to ask me where I want GRUB to be installed. here's some log from #ubuntu+1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/126430/ | 21:10 |
| Wellark | I'm thinking this happened because the installer failed to detect the other OS' and thought that it's OK to mess freely with the MBR | 21:11 |
| Wellark | well, alpha happens :) | 21:12 |
| Wellark | I a spare boot and crypt/lvm-partition on the laptop so I'm able to do testing if needed | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | Wellark: could you file a bug on that | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 21:19 |
| Wellark | against jaunty debian-installer? | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | please | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | Keeps it from getting lost | 21:20 |
| Wellark | sure | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you | 21:20 |
| Wellark | should I tag it with "jaunty" or something? | 21:28 |
| Wellark | well, here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/337957 | 21:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 337957 in debian-installer "installer doesn't ask where to install GRUB and overwrites MBR which contains TrueCrypt Bootloader" [Undecided,New] | 21:29 |
| Wellark | sorry for crappy report, but I don't have time right now to make it better | 21:29 |
| Wellark | I might edit it a bit some later time | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | If you still have it up, the logs would help. | 21:30 |
| Wellark | it's down already... | 21:31 |
| Wellark | but I could run the installer again tomorrow or so | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | okay. There is a selection to save the logs, or if it completes, they will be in /var/log/install | 21:32 |
| charlie-tca | I tagged it | 21:32 |
| Wellark | I still have the installation present.. I will try to get to the log, but as soon my wife gets off the phone I have to quit for the day ;) | 21:33 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 21:34 |
| Wellark | ok. I got the log directory | 21:44 |
| Wellark | is it OK to attach tar.gz to the bug report? | 21:44 |
| Wellark | charlie-tca: ? | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | Preferred format is unzipped | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | or untarred | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | but, yes, that is okay | 21:45 |
| Wellark | ok. attached. | 21:48 |
| Wellark | thanks! now I'm going to dedicate the rest of the night to my wife. cu | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | Have fun.! | 21:49 |
