| icarus901 | cjwatson, hm that hack didnt work -> 'lilo-installed failed for unknown reasons' | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| * icarus901 moonlights as orbitus | 00:07 | |
| cjwatson | err, you might try (echo '#! /bin/sh'; echo 'exit 0') > /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.postinst | 00:08 |
| cjwatson | I guess | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | oh, no | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | let's try a different approach | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | d-i preseed/early_command string ln -sf /bin/false /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.isinstallable | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | that's closer to what you want anyway | 00:10 |
| icarus901 | i did actually try that, though in concert with the first | 00:10 |
| icarus901 | ill try alone now | 00:10 |
| cjwatson | or (echo '#! /bin/sh'; echo 'exit 1') > /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.isinstallable | 00:11 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| icarus901 | that may have done it; i'll know in a moment | 00:21 |
| icarus901 | cjwatson, excellent! problem solved | 00:30 |
| icarus901 | apologies for popping up yet again with annoying questions | 00:31 |
| cjwatson | np | 00:33 |
| cjwatson | glad it's sorted | 00:33 |
| cjwatson | which version worked? | 00:33 |
| icarus901 | cjwatson, your last suggestion | 00:35 |
| cjwatson | ok | 00:38 |
| icarus901 | cjwatson, guess who's back | 03:05 |
| icarus901 | console-setup model=skip was long after dapper as far as i can tell, but if there's a good way to skip it without human interaction that would be ideal | 03:06 |
| cjwatson | refer to the dapper documentation - it didn't use console-setup, there was a different method | 03:07 |
| cjwatson | d-i console-tools/archs select skip-config | 03:08 |
| cjwatson | from a quick glance at the current Debian documentation, anyway | 03:08 |
| NCommander | is Wubi known to work w/ WIndows 7? | 09:50 |
| evand | yes | 09:57 |
| NCommander | evand, ping? | 12:07 |
| evand | NCommander: pong | 12:07 |
| NCommander | evand, I'm working on adding UNR to wubi, but I ran into a bit of a snag | 12:07 |
| evand | NCommander: not sure if you saw my response before. Yes, Wubi should work in Windows 7. | 12:07 |
| evand | okay | 12:07 |
| NCommander | evand, Oh, I didn't. | 12:07 |
| NCommander | evand, How can I force it not to download via bittorrent | 12:08 |
| NCommander | Its trying to pull a non-existent torrent | 12:08 |
| evand | Do you mean how do you force it to use the CD? | 12:08 |
| NCommander | I'd like it to autodownload the ISO if possible | 12:08 |
| evand | ah | 12:08 |
| * evand pokes | 12:08 | |
| NCommander | wubi really doesn't handle a 404 too well | 12:09 |
| NCommander | :-/ | 12:09 |
| evand | I imagine xivulon welcomes bug reports :) | 12:09 |
| evand | and patches, of course | 12:09 |
| NCommander | Oh, I was pointed to you as the wubi guy | 12:09 |
| NCommander | Obviously there's a pointer error somewhere | 12:09 |
| evand | I help with it, but xivulon is the main upstream author | 12:09 |
| NCommander | ah | 12:09 |
| * NCommander also found another bug | 12:10 | |
| NCommander | --nobittorrent seems to be what I want | 12:10 |
| evand | ah, good deal. What was the other bug? | 12:10 |
| NCommander | Graphical bug | 12:11 |
| NCommander | A title with a space breaks the first screen | 12:11 |
| NCommander | I get | 12:11 |
| NCommander | "You are about to install Ubuntu Netbook" | 12:11 |
| NCommander | No remix :-) | 12:11 |
| NCommander | cool, its grabbing the ISO | 12:11 |
| NCommander | Now to see if this works as expected | 12:11 |
| evand | NCommander: if you fix anything along the way, I'd be happy to merge it in on your behalf. We're trying to build the developer community around Wubi this cycle, among other things. | 12:14 |
| NCommander | evand, your bazaar tree doesn't check out on windows ;-) | 12:14 |
| NCommander | (symlinks are an evil thing on Windows) | 12:14 |
| evand | yeah, I noticed that one as well | 12:14 |
| evand | WINE | 12:14 |
| evand | in wubi.trunk, make runpy | 12:15 |
| NCommander | Meh, I rather develop windows apps on windows | 12:15 |
| NCommander | But that's just me | 12:15 |
| evand | sure | 12:15 |
| evand | you can always winscp the directory over | 12:15 |
| NCommander | I used to be a Windows programmer before I jumped ship to Ubuntu | 12:15 |
| NCommander | But I never touched python on it :-/ | 12:15 |
| NCommander | Mostly at the time because you couldn't (easily) get a .exe out of it; although wubi proves that changed | 12:16 |
| evand | indeed, it's got some wonderful bits in there that I fully intend to steal for usb-creator | 12:16 |
| evand | still, I'd love Python support in Visual Studio or MonoDevelop | 12:17 |
| evand | I'll have to keep dreaming though, as they appear to have ceased efforts on the Python add-in for the latter. | 12:17 |
| NCommander | evand, there is ironpython | 12:27 |
| NCommander | :-) | 12:27 |
| NCommander | evand, stupid question, is there a way to --verbose wubi? | 12:27 |
| NCommander | its stuck on checking installation files | 12:27 |
| evand | --verbose :) | 12:27 |
| NCommander | where's the output come out? | 12:29 |
| * NCommander can't figure out why this is stalled | 12:29 | |
| NCommander | evand, ? | 12:30 |
| evand | %TEMP%/wubi-rXXX.log if memory serves | 12:31 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: cjwatson * r1216 ubuntu/ (5 files in 4 dirs): (log message trimmed) | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: Rearrange LVM configuration per the | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: foundations-karmic-server-installer-improvements specification. Instead | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: of requiring partitions to be set for use as LVM physical volumes first, | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: we now offer all partitions that could be used as PVs, and automatically | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: set them up that way on request. This allows us to offer our main menu | 12:36 |
| CIA-8 | partman-lvm: option more or less all the time, and should require many fewer | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | (phew. now I just need to figure out how to do the same for RAID and crypto ...) | 12:37 |
| evand | very cool | 12:38 |
| NCommander | +1 cjwatson :-) | 12:39 |
| * NCommander is trying to figure out why UNR doesn't have an initramfs ... | 12:42 | |
| NCommander | oh | 12:43 |
| NCommander | .lz ... | 12:43 |
| * cjwatson ponders the partman-md/mdcfg separation | 12:52 | |
| cjwatson | in some ways it's awfully tempting to try to merge them first | 12:57 |
| NCommander | evand, I'm posting a bazaar branch right now, but I can't successfully install; Wubi choked on parsing .disk\info, but it did download the ISO and it did properly show up in the list | 13:10 |
| NCommander | lp:~mcasadevall/wubi/add-unr-fix-karmic-casper | 13:11 |
| NCommander | (still pushing though) | 13:11 |
| evand | thanks, I'll review and merge in a few minutes | 13:11 |
| CIA-8 | wubi: evand * r139 wubi.trunk/ (5 files in 3 dirs): | 13:25 |
| CIA-8 | wubi: * Added support for UNR | 13:25 |
| CIA-8 | wubi: * Modified isolist.ini to represent new casper filename; capser.lz for lzma | 13:25 |
| CIA-8 | wubi: compressed initramfses | 13:25 |
| StevenK | How did it choke on the .disk/info? It doesn't like daily images? | 13:42 |
| NCommander | StevenK, yeah | 13:43 |
| NCommander | StevenK, I'm going to file a bug on it once I reboot the PC | 13:43 |
| StevenK | NCommander: Please subscribe ubuntu-unr to the bug. | 13:45 |
| NCommander | StevenK, that isn't a UNR specific bug | 13:46 |
| NCommander | StevenK, (the graphical glitch one is though) | 13:46 |
| StevenK | NCommander: No, but it does affect UNR. | 13:47 |
| NCommander | StevenK, alright, I shall | 13:48 |
| * NCommander needs coffee and breakfast though first | 13:48 | |

| davmor2 | evand1: wubi on hardy.3 is throwing up an invalid cd dialogue | 21:51 |
| davmor2 | I think it might be down to wubi being versioned? | 21:52 |
| davmor2 | version specific might of been a better description | 21:52 |
| cjwatson | mm | 22:04 |
| cjwatson | I've committed a fix, but I'd like evand or xivulon to sign off on it | 22:06 |
| cjwatson | evand1: ^- when you see this | 22:06 |
| cjwatson | evand1: I'm confused about the status of Xubuntu; it's currently on 8.04.2, but it never had a .2 release | 22:07 |
| cjwatson | (I think Evan needs to upload this anyway, I don't know the runes) | 22:07 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: ta | 22:13 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: cjwatson * r929 mdcfg-merge/ (8 files in 5 dirs): | 22:47 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: * Merge mdcfg, making partman-md stand-alone. Bugs fixed along the way: | 22:47 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: - Talks about "software RAID" or "multiple device" rather than | 22:47 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: "multidisk" (closes: #387696). | 22:47 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: - Uses partman locking mechanism (closes: #499285). | 22:47 |
| evand1 | cjwatson: any idea if it's going to have a .2 release, or if I can bump it back down to .1? | 22:58 |
| evand1 | same question for kde | 22:59 |
| davmor2 | evand1: I thought kde had a .2 | 23:00 |
| evand1 | ah, so it did | 23:01 |
| CIA-8 | partman-md: cjwatson * r930 mdcfg-merge/finish-install.d/65partman-md: no need for this guard; the [ ! -s "$CF" ] test is enough | 23:01 |
| cjwatson | evand1: Kubuntu had .2 but won't have later ones per slangasek, at least as far as I know and as long as that hasn't changed lately; Xubuntu won't have anything after .1 | 23:03 |
| evand1 | okay | 23:03 |
| cjwatson | .1 was done across the board due to the OpenSSL vulnerability; it was a special case | 23:03 |
| CIA-8 | wubi: evand * r510 hardy/ (data/isolist.ini debian/changelog): Put Xubuntu back at 8.04.1. | 23:05 |
| evand1 | okay, uploaded to rookery | 23:09 |
| evand1 | should be on the next CD roll | 23:09 |
| evand1 | I have to head to bed though | 23:10 |
| evand1 | cheers | 23:10 |
| cjwatson | cool, thanks | 23:10 |
