Ngbefore I file a bug, would encrypted home directory be expected to have worked in yesterday's amd64 alternate daily?09:53
cjwatsonplease go ahead and file that09:55
Ngok :)09:57
cjwatsonoh, actually09:59
cjwatsonmaybe don't bother09:59
cjwatsonbug 395082 seems likely to apply10:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 395082 in ecryptfs-utils "No sudo access after installing of Ubuntu amd64 from July 2 daily." [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39508210:00
cjwatsonNg: ^-10:00
* Ng looks10:00
cjwatsonthe lack of sudo access is fixed now, but there was an underlying ecryptfs breakage there too10:01
cjwatsonwhich didn't seem to me to be especially specific to TheMuso's setup10:02
NgI think I have slightly newer looking errors after user-setup, but I guess that just matches up with your comment on that bug10:02
Ngotherwise it seems to be trying to say the same kinda thing10:02
Ngthanks :)10:05
CIA-8debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r680 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.70ubuntu112:53
* rgreening cracks code whip... {eyes evand}13:32
evandrgreening: indeed.  Unfortunately the development machine that I've been using for usb-creator hacking is in pieces scattered about two rooms (new carpets going in today), so I'm afraid I wont be able to work on it until later.13:33
rgreeninggak! :)13:33
rgreeningwho said you could remodal :P13:33
rgreeninglol13:33
rgreeningevand: got anything you can push/publish ?13:34
rgreeningoh, nm... scattered...13:34
rgreeninghaha13:34
evandunfortunately not, it's a local bzr branch that I quite stupidly haven't pushed anywhere yet13:34
evandquite close to doing so though, I did a fair amount of clean up on it this morning before they came to put the carpets in13:35
rgreeningyou need a cortical implant... to work directly with the ubu hive13:35
evandhahaha13:35
rgreening;)13:35
* rgreening ponders, does that make mark the borg queen?13:36
evandstar trek humor is lost on me (despite having seen the recent film)13:40
evandcjwatson: I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/396414 is invalid for ubiquity, but do you have differing thoughts, or can you think of a more suitable target for it?  perhaps gnome-app-install?13:54
ubottuUbuntu bug 396414 in ubiquity "No kde language support in Ubuntu by default" [Undecided,New]13:54
rgreeningevand: it's one of those genres... either you love it or you hate it... I'm in the former camp13:54
rgreeningthough, I cant quote entire movies verbatim like some fans I know13:55
rgreening:)13:55
evandheh13:55
* rgreening helps 'put down' the carpet for evand... {BAD CARPET... BAD CARPET...}13:56
evandhaha13:56
cjwatsonevand: yeah, somewhere in the package management frontend system anyway ...14:01
evandthanks14:02

cjwatsonfader: looking at your logs now ...16:41
cjwatson(bear with me, I'm trying to upgrade a chroot at the same time)16:41
fadercjwatson: Thanks.  I have the machine sitting here with the broken install if you need it16:41
fadercjwatson: No problem -- I'm actually sprinting right now so take your time :)16:42
cjwatsonfader: could you confirm the contents of /lib/modules/ in the installer environment?16:43
cjwatsonjust the immediate subdirectory of that16:44
cjwatsonfader: also, which kernel version is listed in /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux/ ?16:44
fadercjwatson: Will do.... lost my connection so give me 2-3 minutes16:44
fadercjwatson: ~ # ls /lib/modules/16:53

cjwatsonok17:05
cjwatsonthis set of errors is pretty baffling17:06
cjwatsonany way I can get a shell?17:06
cjwatsonJul  7 11:12:06 main-menu[2582]: (process:14177): mdadm: /dev/sda5 does not appear to be an md device17:06
cjwatsonJul  7 11:12:06 main-menu[2582]: (process:14177): mdadm: /dev/sda1 does not appear to be an md device17:06
cjwatsonJul  7 11:12:06 main-menu[2582]: (process:14177): mount: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /target/ failed: No such device17:06
cjwatson*appears* to be the relevant stuff but why on earth would mdadm be involved?17:06
cjwatsonI think the mdadm thing is a red herring17:13
cjwatson                        if mdadm --detail "$fs" | greq -qsi " raid1$" 2>/dev/null; then17:13
cjwatson(a) probably needs 2>/dev/null on the first command too (b) can't spell "grep"17:13
cjwatsonbut not a regression in hardy ...17:13
fadercjwatson: Looks like this particular one has a failed RAID drive, but I've been seeing install problems on other machines as well17:15
fadercjwatson: Let me dig in and see what else I can turn up on other machines in that environment17:16
c0nfus3dHi All, I am trying to figure how I can change the text in Ubiquity "Prepare Disk Space" window - kindly refer the following image - http://imagebin.org/5485517:16
c0nfus3di am basically trying to customize the live CD17:16
cjwatsonc0nfus3d: change /.disk/info on the CD17:17
c0nfus3dthanks cjwatson - let me try it17:17
cjwatsonthe first two fields are used for the partitioning display17:17
eeejayhola17:40
eeejayi am trying to preseed ubiquity over dhcp, is this possible?17:40
evandrgreening: lp:~usb-creator-hackers/usb-creator/cleanup - it's still fairly incomplete, but it's mostly cleaned up.  Feel free to start hacking on it.  I'm trying to do proper test driven development this time around, so I would greatly appreciate it if you write tests before code, but don't fret too much if that becomes a burden.  I've written a fake devicekit-disks to allow us to test without having devicekit installed, and to help us identify 18:18
evandI haven't written any policykit code yet as that appears to be in a state of flux in devicekit (it was ripped out of gnome-disk-utility before the last release and appears to have been refactored in dk trunk since)18:19
rgreeningheh18:19
evandI'd like to move any common frontend/backend code into the respective base frontend/backends, if any exists18:20
rgreeningI'll grab it and look it over...18:20
evand(see what ubiquity does for an example of that)18:20
rgreeningsure18:20
evandI remerged bin/usb-creator as the two separate files were quite similar and we can just do runtime importing to sort out which frontend/backend to use (though that code is a bit ugly at the moment)18:21
rgreeningas long as gtk/gobject/glib and kde/qt never meet or cross over18:21
rgreeningdunno if I like that...18:22
evandglib is in the devicekit backend at the moment, but only because I haven't ported that work over from trunk yet18:22
evandoh?  What are your concerns with it?18:22
rgreeningevand: I think keeping two seperate bin would be better and not do runtime checking...18:23
rgreeningimo18:23
evandI'm concerned about the code duplication there, but I'm sure there's an easy solution to that18:24
rgreeningin the fe bin?18:24
evandfeel free to tackle that bit, or I'll take a look myself tomorrow18:24
evandin bin/usb-creator-{gtk,kde,win}18:24
rgreeningevand: the traceit, fail, excepthook should be pulled ouyt i18:25
rgreeningstead into a sep lib18:25
evandI'm keen to get rid of the trace option18:25
rgreeningthen no code dup issues and we have diff bins18:25
rgreeningme too18:25
rgreeningimo, no need for trace in user version. if it works, it works...18:26
evandoption parsing would still be duplicated, but I think you're on the right track, we should just have a common module to source that stuff from18:26
rgreeningoption parsing is not dups18:26
rgreeninglook again at the kde version18:26
rgreening:)18:26
evandah18:27
rgreeningI use the kde equiv of cmdline18:27
rgreening:)18:27
evandokay, fair enough18:27
rgreeningbut, yeah, pull the common into a seperate file...18:27
rgreeningso, backend,py, install,py, and tools.py (or similar)18:28
evandIndeed, I'll unwind that mess tomorrow18:28
rgreeningawesome :)18:28
rgreeningyou da man18:28
cjwatsonfader: I've reopened the bug, but I think the problem is that your mirror is hosed18:29
cjwatsonJul  7 11:10:41 anna[6644]: wget:18:29
cjwatsonJul  7 11:10:41 anna[6644]: server returned error 404: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found^M18:29
fadercjwatson: Hmm, let me take a look.  Maybe something has moved on me again.18:30
cjwatsoneasiest way to see what URL it's fetching is probably in the server logs unfortunately18:33
cjwatsonbut it'll be http://10.189.90.1/enablement/cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/hardy/daily/current/hardy-server-amd64/dists/something18:34
tormodis there a way with grub2 to set boot options for certain kernels only? (like there was for grub-legacy)18:42
cjwatsonyou can use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub depending on what you want18:44
cjwatsonanything more fine-grained than that in grub legacy never really worked with automatic updates anyway18:44
tormodI thought I could do per-kernel options with kopt_2_6_31 etc, but in fact I don't know how well it actually worked18:46
cjwatsonoh, maybe you could, I'm not sure about that18:47
cjwatsonthere's no such facility in grub2 right now - please do take it up upstream if you can justify it18:47
tormodok thanks18:47
fadercjwatson: The only 404s I'm seeing on the server are for hardy-updates.  I see the same thing for karmic installs (which succeed), so I'm not sure that's the problem with the install.19:34
cr3eeejay: did you get an answer regarding preseeding ubiquity?19:34
cjwatsonfader: hmm. the problem is definitely that the ext3 module isn't available ...19:48
cjwatsonand it's not even trying to load fs-core-modules, which is the udeb containing it19:49
cjwatsonI wonder if the overrides are busted19:50
cjwatsonhmm! the CD has -23 on it19:53
cjwatsonoh, I see, incorrect seeds19:53
cjwatsonfader: ok, sorry, that was a bit of a saga, largely because there were uncommitted changes in my platform.hardy seeds branch so a simple grep didn't find the problem19:54
cjwatsonfader: the next CD build should work - I'll do a special one shortly19:54
fadercjwatson: You rock. :)  Thanks!19:54
cjwatsonoh, if I rocked that much I'd have committed these changes when I made them locally, which was apparently *months* ago19:56
cjwatsonlike, February19:56
faderHehe19:56
cjwatsonserver CD build running now ...19:57
cjwatsonright, *now* it's better20:10
cjwatsonfader: wanna re-mirror and try again?20:10
cjwatsonI've verified that 2.6.24-24 udebs are on the new server CD images20:10
fadercjwatson: Roger, images are downloading.20:33
cjwatsoncool20:34
fadercjwatson: That seems to have fixed it.  I'm seeing results start to trickle in from the automated tests :D20:40
cjwatsonfader: thank goodness for that20:48
fader:)20:48
sbeattiefader: yay!21:01
fadersbeattie: Indeed!  I'll whip up an HTML report once the results are all in.21:02
