| yann|work | question about a customized alternate intrepid cd - any idea what could cause the installer not to see tasks minimal/standard/xubuntu-desktop ? | 09:32 |
|---|---|---|
| yann|work | would the lack of a Release.gpg cause this ? | 09:33 |
| davmor2 | evand, cjwatson bug 403021 seems to still be in effect on nv/nvidia drivers but not others. | 09:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 403021 in ubiquity "OEM install: black screen with cursor on login" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/403021 | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I think the X team will have to deal with that if it's hardware-specific | 09:59 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: do you think it would be best to write a new bug out for it then? | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | I'll just reassign it | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | evand: you're the assignee at the moment - is that OK with you? | 10:06 |
| evand | cjwatson: fine by me | 10:19 |
| evand | cool! For whatever reason, it didn't register with me that we'd get the slideshow and encrypted home in oem-config for free. Hooray for mterry and merges | 11:02 |
| davmor2 | evand: I saw that but I'm not going to test till post a5 | 11:09 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I thought that grub was meant to be hidden now? | 11:34 |
| cjwatson | only if you don't have other operating systems installed | 11:35 |
| davmor2 | ah I got another one on the other disc in the machine I forgot about that :) | 11:38 |

| cjwatson | oh, sorry, didn't realise that was waiting for me; I'll reply in the bug | 14:03 |

| CIA-33 | usb-creator: rgreening * r151 usb-creator/ (TODO debian/changelog usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py): * Fix exit button(s) which fail to exit in usb-creator-gtk (on fail or successful install dialog) | 14:23 |
| evand | rgreening: hi | 14:24 |
| rgreening | evand: I just made a change, but it doesn't completely work... bugger. exit button signals in usb-creator-gtk. I thought adding quit method signal was it... seems not... | 14:25 |
| ogra | cjwatson, is the diverting of update-initramfs from casper a new thing in karmic ? i cant remember that it was like that in jaunty | 14:26 |
| evand | where was the exit button failing to work for you? it's been working fine here in all my testing. | 14:26 |
| cjwatson | ogra: bzr blame is your friend, it's what I'd have to do to answer your question anyway | 14:27 |
| ogra | heh, ok | 14:27 |
| rgreening | evand: on successfull install, gtk/python hung in background | 14:27 |
| cjwatson | or the changelog ... | 14:27 |
| rgreening | so, clicking exit did not close down the app correctly, just hid the main menu. | 14:27 |
| rgreening | dialog window I mean.. | 14:28 |
| ogra | cjwatson, also the update-initramfs run at the end of the install, is that one new ? we already run one in-target a while before | 14:28 |
| ogra | cjwatson, looking at bug 422101 | 14:28 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 422101 in initramfs-tools "initramfs-tools package seems to fail postinstall on armel" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/422101 | 14:28 |
| cjwatson | I have no idea whether it's new, sorry | 14:28 |
| * ogra doesnt see what makes the second one necessary | 14:28 | |
| cjwatson | I doubt it's deliberate | 14:29 |
| cjwatson | the installer is a complex system, you sometimes get emergent behaviour | 14:29 |
| ogra | indeed | 14:29 |
| rgreening | evand: hmmm... maybe the problem is in def success in gtk/frontend.py. it calls sys.exit(0) and not gtk.main_quit(). | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | it's not like there's a run_update_initramfs_again_to_annoy_ogra() method :) | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | in this case, it's run again due to a dpkg trigger while removing packages | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | according to the log, triggered while removing dmraid | 14:31 |
| cjwatson | perhaps /dev is not bind-mounted at that point or something? | 14:31 |
| evand | rgreening: looking into it now | 14:33 |
| rgreening | evand: ok. | 14:33 |
| rgreening | evand: fixed | 14:35 |
| evand | oh? | 14:36 |
| rgreening | evand: needs to call gtk.main_quit() in success | 14:36 |
| evand | ah, good deal | 14:36 |
| rgreening | not sys.exit | 14:36 |
| rgreening | :) | 14:36 |
| evand | thanks a bunch! | 14:36 |
| rgreening | I should have realized that | 14:36 |
| rgreening | lol | 14:36 |
| rgreening | I'll update | 14:36 |
| CIA-33 | usb-creator: rgreening * r152 usb-creator/usbcreator/frontends/gtk/frontend.py: | 14:38 |

| rgreening | ok, one less issue :) | 14:38 |
| rgreening | evand: how goes getting ISO images to work again? | 14:39 |
| evand | it goes. I've been buried under ubiquity/oem-config bugs today | 14:39 |

| rgreening | evand: did you notice that from trunk that the target list now contains a bunch of devices which should not appear. For one, any device with 0 capacity and 0 free should not show.I also see my CD-ROM show up in available targets. It's a read-only device, so it should be filtered too. SOmething broke this, but not sure what. | 15:43 |
| rgreening | evand: did you figure out how to get Format working yet? | 15:50 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, i've been getting general protection crashes in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2105.0, usually when getting to the formating stage, but apport isn't catching them, any tips? just gdb around the python process for ubiquity? | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | that, or maybe 'ulimit -c 0' inside the sudo first will convince it to drop a core file | 16:00 |
| superm1 | k | 16:00 |
| superm1 | must have intimidated it by threatening a debugger, now it doesn't even want to reproduce :( | 16:07 |
| yann|work | does anyone has an idea about what in a customized alternate intrepid cd could cause the installer not to see tasks minimal/standard/xubuntu-desktop ? | 16:19 |
| yann|work | the fun thing is, I have no problem with any customization, as long as I do not add a new component besides main and friends | 16:20 |
| yann|work | even removing the Release.gpg does not cause the problem, so the event triggering the problem seems to be the sole addition of this "extra" component | 16:21 |
| yann|work | I can't imagine *that* being the root problem | 16:21 |
| evand | rgreening: that's known. I'm halfway through bringing back disk block devices in support of formatting and disk image writing. | 16:22 |

| rgreening | evand: did you see my other note about the target list having devices listed it should not? | 16:28 |
| rgreening | evand: oh, and what was it that was required to get the ISO image to work again? Rather than having to burn a CDR first? | 16:29 |

| rgreening | hmm.. evand diverged... r157 | 18:27 |
| evand | rgreening: eh? You've diverged? | 18:28 |
| rgreening | we both committed r157 at same moment | 18:28 |
| evand | bzr log lp:usb-creator shows r157 as what I just committed | 18:28 |
| evand | ah | 18:28 |
| rgreening | let me merge | 18:28 |
| rgreening | 1 sec | 18:28 |
| evand | if I may give a tip, use bzr bind whenever possible | 18:28 |
| rgreening | never used bind? | 18:29 |
| CIA-33 | usb-creator: rgreening * r158 usb-creator/TODO: Attempt to merge divergence | 18:29 |
| evand | it will check with lp:usb-creator to make sure you're up to date before committing, then lock lp:usb-creator, and then commit | 18:30 |
| rgreening | ah. I run bzr commit then bzr push | 18:30 |
| rgreening | so, bzr bind then push instead? | 18:30 |
| superm1 | you just bind once, then your push is combined with the commit action | 18:31 |
| rgreening | oh | 18:31 |
| rgreening | nice | 18:31 |
| * rgreening is still green with bzr goodiness | 18:31 | |
| rgreening | ok, I've done the bind. should be good from now on then. | 18:33 |

| rgreening | ty for the hint | 18:34 |
| rgreening | evand: Ok, so, testing with ISO image works now. However, at end of install, I get /dev/loop0 and my usb stick /dev/sdc1 still mounted. Shouldn't these get released in back-end when finished with them? | 18:58 |
| rgreening | e.g. unmounted... | 18:59 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: right got vista on and ubuntu installed along side and the only options visible on grub2 are those of Ubuntu's | 20:14 |

| cjwatson | davmor2: can you mount your Vista partition on /mnt please, then 'ls -al /mnt/; ls -al /mnt/boot/' | 21:08 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: is this the system bit you want me to mount with the boot info in? | 21:09 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 21:10 |
| cjwatson | presumably it's an NTFS partition? | 21:10 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: http://pastebin.com/f7e0322de | 21:15 |
| cjwatson | hmm! that ought to work then | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | installer syslog? (pointer to somewhere you already uploaded this works too, if applicable ...) | 21:17 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: it's not going to be thrown by the fact that the partition is called system and there is another called vista is it? | 21:17 |
| cjwatson | it shouldn't care what the partition is called | 21:18 |
| cjwatson | it just goes through all the partitions it can find and sees what it can detect | 21:18 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: the weird thing is, I get the pause in grub2 just no option to install | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | syslog and maybe also /boot/grub/grub.cfg would be good | 21:19 |
| davmor2 | http://pastebin.com/f710768a | 21:19 |
| davmor2 | that is syslog | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | you caught me just as I was about to go and watch some Angel though ... | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | "Unknown post id, it may have expired or been deleted" | 21:20 |

| davmor2 | I missed the 1 | 21:20 |
| davmor2 | grub.cfg is http://pastebin.com/f4b127946 | 21:22 |

| CIA-33 | clock-setup: --noadjfile (LP: #423247). | 21:24 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: no probs the vista install is on backup and I always have cds of ubuntu :) | 21:24 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I hate wasting your time though | 21:25 |
| cjwatson | but I think my wife might forget who I am soon, so ... | 21:25 |
| CIA-33 | clock-setup: cjwatson * r210 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 0.98ubuntu2 | 21:25 |
| davmor2 | snap I'm off in a second | 21:25 |
| tormod | how do I unpack an initrd.lz? lzma -dc fails | 22:07 |
| tormod | so is the normal initrd gonna stay gzip and the CD one use lzma? | 22:10 |
| tormod | heh, I came up with poor man's more (that works) in the initrd: mas() { i=1; while read a; do sed -n $i,`expr $i + 10`p < $1 ; i=`expr $i + 11`; done } | 22:57 |
| cjwatson | tormod: err, lzma -dc ought to do it ... | 23:17 |
| cjwatson | tormod: yeah, lzma is too slow and memory-hungry for the normal initrd, but in the live CD case the trade-offs flip round because space is so much more important | 23:18 |
| cjwatson | as in, that space lets us fit in another language or two | 23:19 |
| tormod | I get: initrd.lz: unknown suffix -- unchanged | 23:22 |
| tormod | ok, works: cat ../initrd.lz |lzma -dc|cpio -id | 23:24 |
| tormod | I thought it would work as gzip did. | 23:24 |
| cjwatson | oh, lzma doesn't like the .lz suffix | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | but .lzma, which is what it wants, would create problems when writing the CD contents to a FAT filesystem, which is something people do do from time to time | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | so yeah, compromise | 23:25 |
| cjwatson | when xz is a bit more widely deployed we may be able to switch to that | 23:26 |
| tormod | hmm with -S lz it would work | 23:26 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 23:26 |
| cjwatson | sorry, I did deal with this problem a while back but forgot ... | 23:26 |
| tormod | btw, is there a small editor with few deps that is convenient to drop into the initrd? sed -i gets tiring... | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | nano is the usual candidate | 23:28 |
| tormod | have you tried it? | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | it's the only editor provided in d-i; you might say that ... | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | I'm not its biggest fan but it's serviceable | 23:29 |
| tormod | just wondered if ncurses etc would work fine | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | you might need to copy in terminfo as well | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | but if you don't want to include curses, then about your only option is going to be ed | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | which might not necessarily be a bad choice, at least it's interactive ... | 23:31 |
| cjwatson | (just) | 23:31 |
| tormod | it's better than sed :) | 23:31 |
| tormod | btw, is the broken more (=cat ?) a feature or bug? | 23:32 |
| cjwatson | it might be worth enabling CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS in the initramfs | 23:34 |
| cjwatson | er, in busybox | 23:34 |
| cjwatson | feel free to file a bug | 23:34 |
