| jumentous | hey all, i'm setting up a reprepro server that will contain a partial mirror that clients will use but i also want to do a net install from there, | 06:53 |
|---|---|---|
| jumentous | i get no kernel modules were found and when i look up anna's source this apparently means that there is no kernel-version string on the packages, | 06:53 |
| jumentous | however when i check packages.gz out on a real server there is also no kernel-version attribute | 06:54 |
| jumentous | anyone have an idea of what may be going on | 06:54 |
| icarus901 | jumentous, i suggest apt-cacher; you can quiet that message with "d-i anna/no_kernel_modules boolean true" in a preseed.cfg | 07:18 |
| jumentous | i haven't seen apt-cacher but the problem is that i will later need to add my own packages to it, as well as control what updates are let through rather than the simple apt-proxy | 07:23 |
| jumentous | will look at cacher | 07:23 |
| jumentous | icarus901, it was more about why would anna not recognise the kernel packages when they are essentially copied off upstream and can i debug it somehow | 07:25 |
| icarus901 | unfortunately it's not something with which i am familiar beyond that point | 07:26 |
| jumentous | ok, do you know if Kernel-Version is a package tag as it doesn't appear to be | 07:27 |

| hardaway | cjwatson: How was your holiday? | 12:31 |
| hardaway | cjwatson: Don't know if you noticed but ubiquity is still at version 1.13.4 when other cds are at 1.13.6--the manifest has not changed from June 15 | 12:33 |
| jerroome | hi guys | 12:41 |
| jerroome | I have to install a low memory system, but the installation takes more than 2 hours, it hangs at localedef, gen etc ... . I tried to remove the executable locale files with early command, but it's always recreated. does anyone have an idea how I could fasten up the install process ? I thought maybe booting with a liveusb, partitionning the drives and then copy the content of each partition from a previously installed syst | 12:45 |
| jerroome | like to reach an installation which takes less than 30 min | 12:45 |
| cjwatson | hardaway: like I told you, just wait until it manages to build. It's not a problem with ubiquity, it's a problem with UNR builds in general right now. I believe it's scheduled to be fixed today but it is not in my hands so there is no point asking me about it | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | jerroome: try 'd-i pkgsel/language-packs string' (i.e. set that question to empty) in your preseed file | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | should work as of jaunty, probably not before that | 12:52 |
| jerroome | that's what I'm doing, but it still hangs at 75% | 12:52 |
| jerroome | isn't it possible to just skip language locals ? | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | don't know then, sorry. feel free to post to the mailing list with a complete description of your setup, logs, etc. ... | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | jerroome: skip> that's what that preseed is supposed to do! | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | if it isn't working, I consider it a bug that needs to be investigated | 12:53 |
| jerroome | would you agree to have a look at my preseed file ? | 12:54 |
| jerroome | and pxe ? | 12:54 |
| jerroome | I would pastebin it .... | 12:54 |
| cjwatson | I'm happy to have a look | 12:54 |
| jerroome | ok, just one second | 12:54 |
| cjwatson | though I'm busy with other coding work right now | 12:54 |
| jerroome | In case you find some time pxe : http://paste.ubuntu.com/206195/ and preseed : http://paste.ubuntu.com/206199/ | 13:00 |
| jerroome | early_command part is a try to skip locales in an quite unproper way .... | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | I need syslog from an installation attempt too, preferably with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer on the kernel command line | 13:03 |
| cjwatson | if the installation attempt completes successfully (even if slowly), the syslog will be saved in /var/log/installer/syslog | 13:04 |
| jerroome | I'm installing it on a faster machine and pastebin that too | 13:05 |
| jerroome | cjwatson : I was completely wrong, I wasn't taking the right preseed file, the option works fine ..... sorry for the time you took to look at my file .... | 13:51 |
| cjwatson | cool, glad to hear that it works now | 13:54 |
| jerroome | I should have looked my apache log more precisely :), but it's cool that it's working now | 14:00 |
| jerroome | do you know if it's possible to fasten up the part " configuring linux modules" at 83 % ? | 14:01 |
| cjwatson | "fasten" doesn't mean what you think it means in English :-) | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | I have a phone call now, will get to you after that | 14:02 |
| jerroome | your right, I don't want to fasten, but to make it quicker :) | 14:03 |
| jerroome | no problem, thank you for all the help you already gave me | 14:04 |
| cjwatson | jerroome: I'm not sure what step you're talking about there. Are you translating that back from French? If so, could you just give me the French text? | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | Hard to grep for approximate text you see ... | 14:36 |
| jerroome | I can't give you the exact text, but which packages take long time | 14:39 |
| jerroome | it starts with linux-image-generic_2.6.24.23.25_i386.deb | 14:39 |
| jerroome | until linux-generic_2.6.24.23.25_i386.deb | 14:39 |
| jerroome | no | 14:40 |
| jerroome | from linux-generic_2.6.24.23.25_i386.deb on, it takes more than 20 minutes to pass to the next get | 14:40 |
| jerroome | the next step is selecting and installing software | 14:41 |
| jerroome | does that help you out ? | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | well, that's probably building the initramfs | 14:45 |
| cjwatson | there's not a lot I can do to help you there | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | it's just not terribly quick | 14:46 |
| jerroome | ok | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | most of the relevant code there is in kernel packaging, initramfs-tools, etc., not in the installer | 14:47 |
| jerroome | so I can't change anything about it ? | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | I think it's unlikely, sorry | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | at least I don't know how you might | 14:51 |
| jerroome | ok | 14:51 |
| jerroome | only a last question :) shouldn't the installer skip to install language-pack-en ? | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | no | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | we wanted to have that always installed to make support easier - in particular we can guarantee that the en_US.UTF-8 locale always exists which (unfortunately) is a useful property to be able to assume | 14:53 |
| jerroome | do you know what a fast install time is for a 64MB machine with a 664MHz cpu ? | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | jerroome: for a longer version of this answer, see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-February/006884.html | 14:54 |
| cjwatson | jerroome: no, I don't | 14:54 |
| jerroome | thank you cjwatson | 14:58 |
| jerroome | and have a nice day | 14:58 |
