_rubenCarlFK: in case its still an issue, my guess would be that the use of single quotes prevents the $variables to be expanded07:20
cjwatsonCarlFK: what _ruben said. I don't know how that could possibly have worked before; perhaps you previously used double quotes? You should read up on shell variable expansion, I think.10:07

davmor2evand: m-a is still poping up on a use whole drive should I bug it?10:34
davmor2and do you want me to bug the issues I had with wubi forgot to ask :)10:34
evanddavmor2: sure, assign me to it.10:34
evanddavmor2: oh, thanks for reminding me.  I *may* have fixed the no-autorun issue10:34
evandpulling down a new CD now to confirm10:35
davmor2is it in today's iso it's testing day today :)10:35
evandyes10:35
evandit should be10:35
davmor2righto I'll test in about 6 minutes then :)10:36
davmor2evand: Doesn't seem to be autorunning here still10:54
davmor2evand: If I double click on the cd icon I get the egg timer but nothing opens10:56
davmor2evand: Out of interest why does umenu learn more just take you to the ubuntu front page.  Would it not be better to link to the desktop info or help.ubuntu.com or something similar?11:37
evanddavmor2: help.ubuntu.com strikes me as more of a resource for those who already have Ubuntu installed11:38
evandwhereas the Ubuntu front page lets you find out more about what Ubuntu is, and what the different variants offer.11:39
davmor2evand: Makes sense11:39

evandno joy with autorun :/12:20
davmor2I'm bugging that now unless you want too :)12:21
evandnot sure what I'm doing wrong here.  I would think ^M in vim would be sufficient.12:23
evandwill have to deal with later though, there are more important things to attend to12:24
cjwatsonyou could run it through perl or whatever rather than hardcoding the ^Ms in the source file12:26
evandcjwatson: unix2dos ok on cdimage, or would you prefer perl?12:28
cjwatsonperl -ple 's/\r$//; $_ .= "\r"' # simple-and-stupid unix2dos equivalent12:30
cjwatsonwell, -pli -e if you want it to operate in-place12:30
cjwatsonbut antimony does have unix2dos installed so you can use it12:30

davmor2cjwatson: I was about to say the very same thing. It is only occurring on alt installs and not on live too anymore though12:54
tjaaltonthe partition table is updated though, and the next time when I try to use regular partitions, it'll hang while trying to remove the volume groups13:02
tjaalton(just like before)13:02
cjwatsonok, I have to go out now but will investigate when I get back13:09

davmor2cjwatson: my condition is I did a live install (which worked fine) and then went for alt install over the top of it and it died14:11
davmor2evand: I know what I meant to say to you.   Do an install from the menu rather than live session install and try and click on London on the tz map14:55

cjwatsontjaalton: can you get the usual logs to me for your installer problem?20:38
tjaaltoncjwatson: tomorrow, yes20:52
charlie-tcacjwatson: I have the logs, should I file a new bug or give it a day? It is missing packages again, but not the same onew20:53
charlie-tcaI did not file a new but, and did not add to that old one, knowing they sometimes clear up in a day or two.20:53
charlie-tcaI did want to let you know it was failing, similar to before, and that was the easiest way20:54
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: oh, missing packages? I don't see how that's the same as your previous bug at all20:56
cjwatsontjaalton: thanks20:56
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: was the missing package libavformat52 by any chance?20:56
tjaaltoncjwatson: partman and syslog?20:57
cjwatsontjaalton: yes please20:57
tjaaltonk20:57
charlie-tcayes20:57
charlie-tcacjwatson: will that cause the partitioner to fail, too?20:57
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: no20:57
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: in what way did the partitioner fail for you?20:58
charlie-tcaokay, I'll run it again and pull those logs. Using alternate cd only, Guided partitioning, if the drive has existing partitions, it gives the20:59
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: so it looks as if slangasek has fixed / is fixing the libavformat52 bit, but that's entirely independent20:59
charlie-tca"Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sdc5-- Device or resource busy.20:59
cjwatsonyour bug may or may not be the same as anything that davmor2 is experiencing20:59
cjwatsonI'm trying to teach davmor2 about the importance of not deciding that bugs are the same until proven, but it seems to be taking time21:00
charlie-tcaOkay, the libavformat52 is at the end of "Select and install software"21:00
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: device or resource busy> ok, that is definitely distinct from your previous bug21:00
cjwatsonand is similar to Dave's in terms of symptoms but who knows ...21:00
charlie-tcaI didn't know, but I wanted to talk before filing it. Do you want a bug report on it?21:01
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: I need to see /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from the running installer after reproducing the bug, and to have as good a description of the previous state of the disk and of what you told the partitioner to do as possible21:01
cjwatsonyes, I would like a bug report please21:01
charlie-tcaOkay. I will get everything together as detailed as I can21:01
cjwatsonwe nailed down one possible cause of this recently, but it looks like there are some more bits and pieces hanging around21:02
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: just briefly though, was LVM involved in any way?21:03
charlie-tcano, just guided partitioning of a disk with three manual partitions used previous21:03
cjwatsonok, that simplifies matters at least21:04
cjwatsond-i or ubiquity?21:04
charlie-tcaTold it use entire disk, no LVM, no encryption21:04
charlie-tcadi21:04
charlie-tcad-i21:04
charlie-tcaI get the error in 32bit and 64bit, Ubuntu and Xubuntu alternate cd's21:05
charlie-tcaZei4eek3d21:06
cjwatsonchange that password ;-)21:14
cjwatsonI tried to reproduce this earlier today and failed, so it's more subtle than "breaks for everyone", like all the best bugs :-/21:14
* charlie-tca hangs head; yeah, gave it out again.21:17
charlie-tcaWell, I can do it everytime21:18
charlie-tcaWe just reboot after partitioning fails, and install until the libavformat52 failure21:19
cjwatsonone useful thing to try would be starting 'udevadm monitor >monitor 2>&1' from tty2 just before starting the partitioner, then running the partitioner until it fails, then extracting the 'monitor' file21:19
cjwatsonthat may be useful to developers21:19
cjwatsonyou may find that this causes the problem to vanish, but even so21:19
charlie-tcaokay21:20
charlie-tcaThat didn't stop the error21:23
charlie-tcaWhen I said "Go Back", the partition completed21:24
charlie-tcaNow it is installing21:25
charlie-tcaI'll file it with the logs, anyway21:25
cjwatsonok21:25
cjwatsonthe monitor file should still be useful21:25

cjwatsoncharlie-tca: did you manage to get the monitor file?21:49
* charlie-tca slaps head.21:49

charlie-tcaNo, there was none21:49
charlie-tcaIs there a place to access it? I still have the failed install up21:50
cjwatsondid you run 'udevadm monitor >monitor 2>&1'?21:50
charlie-tcayes21:50
cjwatsonhow are you extracting files?21:50
charlie-tcaweb21:50
cjwatsonah, ok. run 'anna-install openssh-client-udeb' from tty2, then you can scp the monitor file from the root directory to some other computer21:50

cjwatsonexcept that that would be stupid22:05

cjwatsoncharlie-tca: did you type both the redirection operators (>monitor 2>&1) exactly as I gave them?22:06
charlie-tcayes22:06
cjwatsonbut the monitor file is essentially empty22:06
charlie-tcaI think so. I can run it again later tonight, if I need to22:06
cjwatsonwhen did you start it, and when did you stop it?22:06
charlie-tcaStarted right before telling it "yes" on partitioning the drive. never stopped it22:07
charlie-tcaoops22:07
cjwatsonok, that should have worked22:07
cjwatsonit does rather look as though you did something like forgetting the & though22:07
charlie-tcaI'll try again later, then.22:08
cjwatsonok, thanks22:08
shtylmancjwatson: yea...I will take a look at both bugs tonight and should be able to handle it22:50
cjwatsonthanks22:52
cjwatsoncharlie-tca: it would be interesting to know if http://paste.ubuntu.com/128992/ fixes the problem when applied to /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted (you can apply it by just editing that file with nano before the partitioner starts)22:55
