CompBrainwe're preseeding a big list of packages via a late_command script and not through the built in package installation means so we can drop in a standard /etc/passwd to get consistent u/gid's04:40
CompBrainIs there a better way to do that so we still get a moving progress bar? (right now it hangs on 'running preseed' while the late_command runs apt-get install $world_of_hurt04:41
mcasadevallcjwatson, bit of good news; d-i on ia64 successfully built when retried after the last kernel upload :-)06:53
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
=== _ruben_ is now known as _ruben
cjwatsonCompBrain: it might take a bit of fiddling around, but if you use apt-install rather than chroot /target apt-get install then you ought to get a progress bar10:15
lamalexDoes ubiquity do any checking of drive size to make sure you have the required amount of disk space at all?10:15
cjwatsonubiquity does (though only sort of, it isn't perfect), d-i doesn't10:15
cjwatsonNCommander: cool10:16
lamalexcjwatson: any idea where in the code that is?10:16
NCommandercjwatson, I'm testing the netinstall ISO now (since the dailys for port architectures already ran)10:16
lamalexIs it a const somewhere that gets set for the size?10:16
cjwatsonlamalex: ubiquity source package, partman/check.d/03partition_too_small10:18
lamalexmerci10:18
cjwatsonlamalex: it runs du over the live filesystem, and adds a bit of a fudge factor for luck10:18
lamalexcjwatson: where should bugs be filed?11:32
lamalexLP says the ubiquity project only uses lp for code11:32
evandlamalex: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug11:43
evandwe handle bugs against the source package11:43
lamalexthanks11:45
evandsure thing11:45
lamalexman, i cant wait until we're all using the bzr lp format and pushing a branch is fasted becuase it's totally stacked12:01
lamalexs/fasted/fast12:02
cjwatsonthe current format actually does support stacking12:02
cjwatsonI think12:02
cjwatsonyeah, it's on 1.912:02
lamalexI alsmo meant s/lp/2a12:03
cjwatsonstacking shouldn't require 2a, should it?12:06
cjwatsonI mean, 2a will be faster, certainly12:06

evandit's slowly getting there.  Test harness is taking far longer than I would like.  I'm trying to get the code in a useful state so I can at least push it to a public branch.  Hope to have that done tonight if I have time in the evening, but otherwise tomorrow.14:21
rgreeningevand: looking forward to helping test and polish for you :)14:23
evandgood to hear :)14:23

ubottuUbuntu bug 396076 in ubiquity "Ubiquity's default new partition size is too small, particularly for netbooks" [Undecided,New]14:46
evandhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~alexlauni/ubiquity/partition-size-selector/revision/3308 - on line 587, why did you delete self.resize = -1?14:48
evandhrm, actually, that's fairly broken anyway if it's called twice.14:48
evand(it's not currently)14:48
cr3cjwatson: by the way, I'm failing to install the latest hardy alternate images because the netboot kernel doesn't seem to be the same version as the kernel modules package on the image15:46
cr3cjwatson: wasn't there some discussion about you having to be informed when the kernel is updated or the kernel team handling the update of the netboot images? if I recall, there's was a disconnect between the kernel update and the netboot image update on the alternate images15:47
cjwatsonthanks, I'll update d-i now15:49
cr3cjwatson: might there be a way for me to detect directly from the image instead of from the installation process?15:49
cjwatsonor at least upload the update, somebody else will have to accept it15:49
cjwatsonsure, there are metadata files alongside the images, e.g. udeb.list15:50
cr3cjwatson: one day, I'd really like my testing framework to report proper errors when installation failures occur instead of getting a lack of test results. the problem is that this inconsistency might've been going on for a while and I wouldn't've known :(15:51
cjwatsonerr, hardy-updates/debian-installer is already using the current kernel15:51
cjwatsonso I don't know what your system's problem is15:51
cjwatsonhmm, or maybe not, what's up here15:52
cjwatsonah, heh, it probably failed to build15:52
cjwatsoncr3: are you not testing hardy-proposed?15:52
cr3cjwatson: I've had to disable testing of -proposed temporarily because of a couple issues I can't work on right now :(15:53
cjwatsonhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html, looks like somebody forgot to promote debian-installer to -updates along with linux15:53
cjwatsonI'll do that15:54
cjwatson(done for next publisher run)15:57
icarus901cjwatson, suggestions for a point of contact for inquiry regarding the netboot kernels? i may not actually have a bug, so i'd rather not waste someone's time by filing one17:43
cjwatsonicarus901: the netboot kernel is identical to the normal kernel ...17:47
icarus901cjwatson, eh then it's a question of config disparity17:48
icarus901the amd64 build includes paravirt-ops xen domU support. i386 does not17:48
cjwatsonkernel team'd be best placed to handle that17:49
cjwatsonprobably just file a bug on linux ...17:49
cjwatson(in Ubuntu, obviously)17:49
icarus901cjwatson, thanks17:50
kirklandcjwatson: hiya, testing today's hardy daily iso22:40
kirklandcjwatson: doesn't detect my network adapter (on board nvidia some such, has always worked will with hardy)22:41
kirklandcjwatson: also, don't see ext3 as a filesystem option22:41
cjwatsonsounds like kernel mismatch; should be fixed tomorrow22:42
cjwatsonI did some publisher updates earlier22:43
cjwatsonsomebody had copied d-i to hardy-updates previously without following the practice documented on ArchiveAdministration, and that broke things22:44
kirklandcjwatson: cool, thanks.22:50
cjwatsonthat reminds me though ...22:57
