[01:26] oem-config: cjwatson * r634 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.54.9 [01:27] ubiquity: cjwatson * r3106 ubiquity/debian/ (79 files in 2 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad. [02:17] so dmraid fails for me on the ich10r for some reason...it doesn't recognize the metadata [03:20] shtylman: What version of Ubuntu/dmraid? [03:21] jaunty with dmraid 1.0.0.rc15 [03:21] I am trying to find the offset manually now and patch dmraid...to see if that helps any [03:22] TheMuso: ^ [03:22] shtylman: ok [03:31] ok...so I have got it to locate the metadata...but now it appears to not be able to readi t [03:31] *read it [03:31] or doesn't recognize it...maybe [03:31] I am gonna try to use dmraid to write new metadata and see if bios will recognize that... [03:40] shtylman: Ok, how old is the board? [03:40] brand new [03:41] its a gigabyte ex58-ud3r [03:41] for core i7 [03:41] hrm ok. [03:42] well, I got the "could not find fdisk /dev/sda in the metadata" messade to go away [03:42] but now it just says "no raid disks" [03:42] so I am wondering if it doesn't read the metadata right [03:42] Oh, do you happen to have an HPA? [03:42] or if I havn't setup any disks (which I am quite sure I have...but am now second guessing myself... :/) [03:42] hpa? [03:42] host protected area [03:43] no idea [03:43] a hidden area on one of your hard drives [03:43] ok [03:43] not that I know of [03:43] 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] they are SSD disks...if that makes any difference [03:44] It shouldn't. [03:44] k [03:44] this is worth a try anyway [03:44] k [03:46] hrm can't find it atm [03:57] shtylman: Do you have a good reason to use dmraid? If you are not dual booting, I suggest you use Linux Software RAID. [03:58] TheMuso: thats what it looks like it might be coming down to [03:58] I was just hoping to get it to work...you know...for the sake of it [03:58] If I get fed up enough, I might just do the software raid [04:05] shtylman: dmraid has no rebuilding of degraded arrays, or should I say, its not as good as Linux Software RAID [04:05] TheMuso: yea..I know...but this will be for raid0 [04:06] fair enough [04:06] so I don't know that I would ever rebuild anything :) [04:10] yeah [04:12] so what I am discovering with hexdump is that they have changed their on disk format it seems... [04:16] Great... [04:16] well...actually...i think it gets better [04:17] and I can't say with 100% cetainty...but I think the way the intel write/read uses the offset varies [04:17] because for writing I think it may be used one way [04:17] and for reading another... [04:17] like one was used as if it was sectors and another as if it was bytes [04:25] right [04:27] so the difference seems to be in how the two write the drive serial number [04:28] dmraid write all but the last digit [04:28] and the mobo code wrote all but the first letter [04:28] I dunno why there is a deference but it would account for mobo not being able to detect dmraid created disks [04:39] There has been a patch added to Debian recently to address something like that, I need to pull it into Ubuntu actually. [04:44] interesting... [04:47] patch 14 [04:47] look at last comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/267953 [04:47] Ubuntu bug 267953 in dmraid "isw: Error finding disk table slot" [Undecided,Fix committed] [04:48] TheMuso: ^ [04:49] shtylman: yeah I am aware of that [04:50] where can I get just the patch file? [04:51] from the debian dmraid git repo: git://git.debian.org/git/users/derevko-guest/dmraid.git [04:51] thanks [04:52] np [04:59] if I put it in the debian/patches directory...will it get auto applied when I do a dpkg-buildpackage? [05:06] no, you need to add it to debian/patches/series [05:06] k [05:26] TheMuso: I have been installing ubuntu over and over for hours now...with that patch applied...it finally worked :) ... me is happy [05:26] great [05:26] * TheMuso is putting that patch into a new dmraid upload now. [05:26] ^. ... very good... :) [05:27] that will make others happy too [05:27] yeah [05:28] (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 [05:33] Yeah thats understandable. [05:36] now I need to peg dmraid and prevent apt from updating it..until the patch gets built and all [05:36] and off I go [05:37] 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] heh cool [10:46] tasksel: cjwatson * r1405 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog tasksel.pl): [10:46] tasksel: Beef up Enhances support to be able to handle disjunctive Enhances. A [10:46] tasksel: task with "Enhances: a | b | c" will be installed if any of a, b, or c [10:46] tasksel: are installed (LP: #326501). [11:23] ubiquity: evand * r3107 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity-dm debian/changelog): [11:23] ubiquity: Only create one virtual desktop when in only-ubiquity mode [11:23] ubiquity: (LP: #343451). [11:26] yay, I was just thinking about that the other day [11:26] heh [12:20] tasksel: cjwatson * r1406 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog tasksel.pl): [12:20] tasksel: Avoid slow computations due to the fix for LP #150252 when there are no [12:20] tasksel: tasks to be removed. [12:20] Launchpad bug 150252 in tasksel "[master] tasksel removes all Ubuntu-desktop dependencies without confirmation dialog" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/150252 [12:23] tasksel: cjwatson * r1407 ubuntu/tasksel.pl: ignore disjunctive sets when marking enhanced tasks for installation, since we don't know which element(s) we should use [12:26] tasksel: cjwatson * r1408 ubuntu/ (tests/limited debian/changelog): [12:26] tasksel: tests/limited: New test which can be used to select tasks by default [12:26] tasksel: when particular other tasks are listed in tasksel/limit-tasks. [12:29] tasksel: cjwatson * r1409 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog tasksel.pl): [12:29] tasksel: Don't explicitly mark enhancing tasks as not to be installed when hiding [12:29] tasksel: them. This will be done anyway by other code in new-install mode, while [12:29] tasksel: in new-install mode we may want to apply a test (such as the new [12:29] tasksel: "limited" test) to an enhancing task that installs it by default even if [12:29] tasksel: the packages it enhances are not installed. [12:39] tasksel: cjwatson * r1410 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog ubuntu-tasks/ubuntustudio-desktop): [12:39] tasksel: Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds; ubuntustudio-desktop now takes advantage [12:39] tasksel: of the above facilities. [12:43] tasksel: cjwatson * r1411 ubuntu/debian/changelog: all this fixes LP: #148078 too [12:44] tasksel: cjwatson * r1412 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.73ubuntu18 [13:00] 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] Launchpad bug 321212 in ubiquity "Suppress "Move to Workspace Right" window option if possible" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/321212 [13:13] 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 [13:17] cjwatson: so to clarify, you don't think any more changes should be made, and you consider that bug fixed by extension? [13:18] yeah, I do [13:18] ok, thanks [13:18] IOW, although they aren't quite duplicates, I think you can put both bug numbers in the changelog for the one change [13:46] user-setup: cjwatson * r164 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog functions.sh): Consider a password of ! in shadow for root to be unset (LP: #340841). [13:52] 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] Launchpad bug 341526 in fedora "Add support for Dell Driver Injection Disk" [Unknown,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/341526 [13:52] it would be a new feature however, so it might be a little late for jaunty [13:53] superm1: isn't this just a variant of the driver disk support we already have in casper? [13:53] cjwatson, this is for alternate/server disks [13:54] sure [13:54] thanks [13:54] it would be nice if they accepted the same format [13:55] I don't like the hardcoded "/ubuntu" in the path; that should be conditional [13:55] (the more patches I can get upstream the better) [13:56] if [ ! -z "$dir" ]; then if [ -d "$dir" ]; then ...; fi; fi => if [ "$dir" ] && [ -d "$dir" ]; then ...; fi [13:56] 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] I don't object to /ubuntu being on the filesystem, [13:57] but I would prefer it not to be hardcoded in the code [13:57] ah [13:58] you could lower-case DISTRIB_ID from /etc/lsb-release perhaps [13:58] localechooser has safe shell code for reading it [13:58] ah didn't realize that [13:59] casper uses /ubuntu-drivers/ rather than /ubuntu/ [13:59] I think because that avoids clashing with Ubuntu CDs [14:00] well the spec has certainly not been locked down for the ubuntu implementation, so that should be fine to use instead then [14:01] it may be worthwhile to add similar lsb stuff to casper as I'm thinking too [14:01] yeah, I'm just in the middle of saying that on the bug :-) [14:01] I agree [14:04] ubiquity: evand * r3108 ubiquity/debian/changelog: Add a bug number to the changelog entry. [14:23] user-setup: cjwatson * r165 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.23ubuntu15 [14:26] superm1: how did the Atom testing for bug 335596 go? [14:26] Launchpad bug 335596 in ubiquity "DVD install takes forever compared to the CD install during the step that it's calculating packages to remove, causing pain for OEM" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/335596 [14:27] cjwatson, the proto I used unfortunately had an unrelated failure on it's SSD yesterday, so I'm getting a new one this morning [14:27] * cjwatson nods [14:56] grub-installer: cjwatson * r773 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog grub-installer): cciss and ida logical drive numbers may go up to 15, not just 9. [14:58] evand: I'm about to test wubi on vista again but I thought I'd check if that ubiquity fix went in :) [15:00] it did indeed [15:00] but only on the i386 CD [15:01] the Ubuntu amd64 CD has an out of date live filesystem [15:01] evand ta :) [15:04] lilo-installer: cjwatson * r433 ubuntu/debian/ (changelog postinst): cciss and ida logical drive numbers may go up to 15, not just 9. [15:21] 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? [15:36] evand: vista side has gone ok but still no eject [15:37] davmor2: indeed, that's expected [15:47] evand: Yay \o/ [15:49] it worked? [15:52] evand: I have Ubuntu installed on vista yes :) I am going to try and remove it now and then try again with Kubuntu :) [15:55] soren: it doesn't ring a bell. Debian has a live-installer extension to d-i but it isn't server-oriented [15:55] cjwatson: Ok. I just thought I guided them over here, but perhaps not. Thanks anyway. [15:55] 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? [16:00] evand: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/passpage.png [16:03] cute [16:03] can you please file a bug for that? [16:46] evand: np's [16:50] evand: nice post :) [16:51] thanks [16:53] partman-partitioning: cjwatson * r701 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog lib/resize.sh): [16:53] partman-partitioning: get_real_device: Add support for /dev/vd*, /dev/xvd*, /dev/cciss/*, [16:53] partman-partitioning: /dev/ida/*, and /dev/mmcblk* (LP: #282756).

Any objection to me attempting to tackle this via an error question? [17:03] it also seems that my recent change to partman-base is slightly broken on the alternate CD. I'll look into that further tomorrow. [17:20] evand: I thought disk-detect already did that [17:21] evand: you could drop the module_select question to medium and change its default to "none of the above", I suppose [17:22] which would have the effect of dropping straight through to the cannot_find question that's already there [17:22] evand: Wubi uninstall is worse than ever I can't even remove it from the cd now :( I've add the log to bug 341605 [17:22] Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/341605/+text) [18:01] evand, again, I'm terribly sorry [22:40] wubi: Agostino Russo * r99 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): Use unicode by default in gettext translations (LP: #344151) [23:49] partman-base: cjwatson * r140 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog init.d/parted): [23:49] partman-base: Tweak partman/unmount_active substitution handling to cope with more [23:49] partman-base: than two disks.
