| shtylman | so dmraid fails for me on the ich10r for some reason...it doesn't recognize the metadata | 02:17 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: What version of Ubuntu/dmraid? | 03:20 |
| shtylman | jaunty with dmraid 1.0.0.rc15 | 03:21 |
| shtylman | I am trying to find the offset manually now and patch dmraid...to see if that helps any | 03:21 |
| shtylman | TheMuso: ^ | 03:22 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: ok | 03:22 |
| shtylman | ok...so I have got it to locate the metadata...but now it appears to not be able to readi t | 03:31 |
| shtylman | *read it | 03:31 |
| shtylman | or doesn't recognize it...maybe | 03:31 |
| shtylman | I am gonna try to use dmraid to write new metadata and see if bios will recognize that... | 03:31 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: Ok, how old is the board? | 03:40 |
| shtylman | brand new | 03:40 |
| shtylman | its a gigabyte ex58-ud3r | 03:41 |
| shtylman | for core i7 | 03:41 |
| TheMuso | hrm ok. | 03:41 |
| shtylman | well, I got the "could not find fdisk /dev/sda in the metadata" messade to go away | 03:42 |
| shtylman | but now it just says "no raid disks" | 03:42 |
| shtylman | so I am wondering if it doesn't read the metadata right | 03:42 |
| TheMuso | Oh, do you happen to have an HPA? | 03:42 |
| shtylman | or if I havn't setup any disks (which I am quite sure I have...but am now second guessing myself... :/) | 03:42 |
| shtylman | hpa? | 03:42 |
| TheMuso | host protected area | 03:42 |
| shtylman | no idea | 03:43 |
| TheMuso | a hidden area on one of your hard drives | 03:43 |
| TheMuso | ok | 03:43 |
| shtylman | not that I know of | 03:43 |
| shtylman | they are brand new as well | 03:43 |
| * TheMuso digs through his email to find the command-line flag to turn it off | 03:43 | |
| shtylman | they are SSD disks...if that makes any difference | 03:43 |
| TheMuso | It shouldn't. | 03:44 |
| shtylman | k | 03:44 |
| TheMuso | this is worth a try anyway | 03:44 |
| shtylman | k | 03:44 |
| TheMuso | hrm can't find it atm | 03:46 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: Do you have a good reason to use dmraid? If you are not dual booting, I suggest you use Linux Software RAID. | 03:57 |
| shtylman | TheMuso: thats what it looks like it might be coming down to | 03:58 |
| shtylman | I was just hoping to get it to work...you know...for the sake of it | 03:58 |
| shtylman | If I get fed up enough, I might just do the software raid | 03:58 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: dmraid has no rebuilding of degraded arrays, or should I say, its not as good as Linux Software RAID | 04:05 |
| shtylman | TheMuso: yea..I know...but this will be for raid0 | 04:05 |
| TheMuso | fair enough | 04:06 |
| shtylman | so I don't know that I would ever rebuild anything :) | 04:06 |
| TheMuso | yeah | 04:10 |
| shtylman | so what I am discovering with hexdump is that they have changed their on disk format it seems... | 04:12 |
| TheMuso | Great... | 04:16 |
| shtylman | well...actually...i think it gets better | 04:16 |
| shtylman | and I can't say with 100% cetainty...but I think the way the intel write/read uses the offset varies | 04:17 |
| shtylman | because for writing I think it may be used one way | 04:17 |
| shtylman | and for reading another... | 04:17 |
| shtylman | like one was used as if it was sectors and another as if it was bytes | 04:17 |
| TheMuso | right | 04:25 |
| shtylman | so the difference seems to be in how the two write the drive serial number | 04:27 |
| shtylman | dmraid write all but the last digit | 04:28 |
| shtylman | and the mobo code wrote all but the first letter | 04:28 |
| shtylman | I dunno why there is a deference but it would account for mobo not being able to detect dmraid created disks | 04:28 |
| TheMuso | There has been a patch added to Debian recently to address something like that, I need to pull it into Ubuntu actually. | 04:39 |
| shtylman | interesting... | 04:44 |
| shtylman | patch 14 | 04:47 |
| shtylman | look at last comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/267953 | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 267953 in dmraid "isw: Error finding disk table slot" [Undecided,Fix committed] | 04:47 |
| shtylman | TheMuso: ^ | 04:48 |
| TheMuso | shtylman: yeah I am aware of that | 04:49 |
| shtylman | where can I get just the patch file? | 04:50 |
| TheMuso | from the debian dmraid git repo: git://git.debian.org/git/users/derevko-guest/dmraid.git | 04:51 |
| shtylman | thanks | 04:51 |
| TheMuso | np | 04:52 |
| shtylman | if I put it in the debian/patches directory...will it get auto applied when I do a dpkg-buildpackage? | 04:59 |
| TheMuso | no, you need to add it to debian/patches/series | 05:06 |
| shtylman | k | 05:06 |
| shtylman | TheMuso: I have been installing ubuntu over and over for hours now...with that patch applied...it finally worked :) ... me is happy | 05:26 |
| TheMuso | great | 05:26 |
| * TheMuso is putting that patch into a new dmraid upload now. | 05:26 | |
| shtylman | ^. ... very good... :) | 05:26 |
| shtylman | that will make others happy too | 05:27 |
| TheMuso | yeah | 05:27 |
| shtylman | (and you wanted to know why dmraid over software raid) ... with dmraid I don't need a raid1 /boot partition...I cna just do / on the whole thing and it works | 05:28 |
| TheMuso | Yeah thats understandable. | 05:33 |
| shtylman | now I need to peg dmraid and prevent apt from updating it..until the patch gets built and all | 05:36 |
| shtylman | and off I go | 05:36 |
| shtylman | and finally tomorrow I can get back to work on ubiquity...having used it heavily...I see some more things I need to fix :) | 05:37 |

| evand | cjwatson: given that only-ubiquity now full screens and uses a single desktop, would you consider bug 321212 fixed, or do you think the option should be suppressed when ubiquity is run from the desktop as well? | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 321212 in ubiquity "Suppress "Move to Workspace Right" window option if possible" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/321212 | 13:00 |
| cjwatson | evand: when it's run from the desktop, the workspace switcher is visible, so I would say we should leave the run-from-desktop case as it is | 13:13 |
| evand | cjwatson: so to clarify, you don't think any more changes should be made, and you consider that bug fixed by extension? | 13:17 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I do | 13:18 |
| evand | ok, thanks | 13:18 |
| cjwatson | IOW, although they aren't quite duplicates, I think you can put both bug numbers in the changelog for the one change | 13:18 |

| superm1 | cjwatson, when you get some free moments, i wanted to ask if you could look over bug 341526? it's eventual intention is to get it into a development release and backport to be supported in 8.04.3. | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 341526 in fedora "Add support for Dell Driver Injection Disk" [Unknown,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/341526 | 13:52 |
| superm1 | it would be a new feature however, so it might be a little late for jaunty | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | superm1: isn't this just a variant of the driver disk support we already have in casper? | 13:53 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, this is for alternate/server disks | 13:53 |
| cjwatson | sure | 13:54 |
| superm1 | thanks | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | it would be nice if they accepted the same format | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | I don't like the hardcoded "/ubuntu" in the path; that should be conditional | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | (the more patches I can get upstream the better) | 13:55 |
| cjwatson | if [ ! -z "$dir" ]; then if [ -d "$dir" ]; then ...; fi; fi => if [ "$dir" ] && [ -d "$dir" ]; then ...; fi | 13:56 |
| superm1 | well the core at putting the ubuntu/ in it was because these USB disks may have several different OS drivers on them, so it would be more clear what OS drivers were what | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | I don't object to /ubuntu being on the filesystem, | 13:56 |
| cjwatson | but I would prefer it not to be hardcoded in the code | 13:57 |
| superm1 | ah | 13:57 |
| cjwatson | you could lower-case DISTRIB_ID from /etc/lsb-release perhaps | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | localechooser has safe shell code for reading it | 13:58 |
| superm1 | ah didn't realize that | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | casper uses /ubuntu-drivers/ rather than /ubuntu/ | 13:59 |
| cjwatson | I think because that avoids clashing with Ubuntu CDs | 13:59 |
| superm1 | well the spec has certainly not been locked down for the ubuntu implementation, so that should be fine to use instead then | 14:00 |
| superm1 | it may be worthwhile to add similar lsb stuff to casper as I'm thinking too | 14:01 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I'm just in the middle of saying that on the bug :-) | 14:01 |

| soren | cjwatson: A while ago, there was a bit of talk about a company that was making server-ish live cd's with an option to install Ubuntu from it as well. I think they called the installer bit d-i/live or something like that. I seem to remember that you took a look at it. Do you remember anything at all about it? | 15:21 |
| davmor2 | evand: vista side has gone ok but still no eject | 15:36 |
| evand | davmor2: indeed, that's expected | 15:37 |
| davmor2 | evand: Yay \o/ | 15:47 |
| evand | it worked? | 15:49 |
| davmor2 | evand: I have Ubuntu installed on vista yes :) I am going to try and remove it now and then try again with Kubuntu :) | 15:52 |
| cjwatson | soren: it doesn't ring a bell. Debian has a live-installer extension to d-i but it isn't server-oriented | 15:55 |

| davmor2 | evand: kubuntu's password page just shot across the screen it's about 2/3's bigger than the other windows. The line Enter the same password twice is the culprit I think it should be split and isn't. Would you like a screenshot? | 15:55 |
