| xivulon | evand, can you please follow up on wubi 134? I mentioned it to steve over #ubuntu-release | 09:48 |
|---|---|---|
| davmor2 | xivulon: hello | 10:07 |
| davmor2 | I'm still having lock up issues on 134 in fat32 | 10:07 |
| davmor2 | I'm going to strip all the logs I can get out today | 10:08 |
| davmor2 | also I'll try it on vista and xp ntfs to ensure that there is no regression there | 10:08 |

| evand | it's really annoying that they removed the wubi forum | 11:30 |
| evand | xivulon: do you have any updates from the forums on testing of 134? I can't find the post | 11:30 |
| davmor2 | evand: I'll be retesting on xp and vista this afternoon but at the moment on fat32 it's not playing ball at all. | 12:25 |
| xivulon | evand, I asked the admins to make the post sticky in Installation & Updates: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=333 | 12:27 |
| xivulon | no replies so far, which I take as a good sign :) | 12:27 |
| evand | davmor2: was fat32 working previously? | 14:09 |
| davmor2 | 133 I think worked but 134 fails on the linux side formatting swap | 15:59 |
| xivulon | davmor2 formatting swap is unlikely to be related to the windows wizard | 16:01 |
| xivulon | more likely to be due to filesystem in use and fragmentation status | 16:02 |
| davmor2 | defragged it | 16:02 |
| davmor2 | still no joy | 16:02 |
| xivulon | are you sure that 133 worked and 134 didn't? can you repeat that? | 16:03 |
| davmor2 | I can have a look. Let me retry with 134 and get the logs from windows and linux first | 16:04 |
| xivulon | the only difference that might have an impact is that I do not run compact when vfat is detected, but as far as I know fs compression is not available for fat32 anyway | 16:09 |
| xivulon | looking at diff r134-r133 | 16:09 |
| xivulon | so you should see a non-fatal error in r133 log when compact is run in fat32 | 16:10 |
| xivulon | davmor2, evand ^ | 16:10 |
| xivulon | davmor2, also check the size of the swap file in both cases and try to run mkswap manually from within ubuntu | 16:11 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: How is the swap size determined any way? | 16:12 |
| davmor2 | and should it matter that I have to reduce the partition size to 5gig? | 16:15 |
| === cr3_ is now known as cr3 | ||
| davmor2 | I think the issue is with the disc recognition in jaunty. The screen before Installing system (I think it is setting up partition) get to 128% then it says installing system at the top and formatting #1 of host/ubuntu/disk... | 16:33 |
| davmor2 | I'll grab the logs from both sides though | 16:33 |
| xivulon | davmor2: I believe swap should be 256MB | 16:35 |
| xivulon | before you start running the installer it is just an empty file. | 16:36 |
| davmor2 | xivulon, evand: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/syslogfat | 16:38 |
| davmor2 | looks like there are errors there | 16:38 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: do you have the preseed setup to use ntfs and not fat? | 16:44 |
| === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlK | ||
| xivulon | davmor2 I cannot access that file, can you check the link? | 17:22 |
| xivulon | davmor2, whether the fs is vfat should not affect the preseed (i.e. you should see the same preseed file in 133 and 134) | 17:26 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: try now | 18:01 |
| davmor2 | permissions were wrong sorry | 18:01 |
| xivulon | davmor2 can you run that in verbose mode and check any file difference in c:\ubuntu\disks between r133 and r134? | 18:08 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: will do but it might have to wait till tomorrow now I got take my wife and mother-in-law to see a friend in the hospital won't be back for a while | 18:12 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: the other thing I'll try is a fresh xp incase that is the issue | 18:14 |
| davmor2 | gotta go | 18:14 |
