| sXnGin | Anybody got a bit of time? I just made a USB startup disk, and im wondering how to turn that into a live session or something so i can keep the changes i make to the OS | 04:38 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | xivulon: should be, I uploaded them yesterday before I finished work | 09:11 |
| xivulon | hi cjwatson have already installed them :) | 09:12 |
| xivulon | running it right now | 09:12 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: I'm sure it isn't quite right yet - I didn't do anything to prepare_grub_to_access_device, which I expect will be necessary | 09:46 |
| xivulon | ok | 09:47 |
| xivulon | I am doing a fresh install at the moment | 09:47 |
| xivulon | so I start clean | 09:47 |
| xivulon | removed boot bind and booted without problems :0 | 10:32 |
| xivulon | except for the ext3 fs corruption | 10:32 |
| xivulon | wasn't that fixed? | 10:32 |
| xivulon | cjwatson not sure prepare_grub_to_access_device is needed at all | 10:32 |
| xivulon | as all modules are built-in and we have already accessed the device by the time you run the commands from that output... | 10:33 |
| xivulon | cjwatson this is what I am using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/269664/ | 10:39 |
| xivulon | just a couple of minor changes | 10:40 |
| xivulon | cjwatson could I have this patch (or similar) applied? http://paste.ubuntu.com/269696/ | 11:35 |
| xivulon | I need a way to hide the grub menu (since in my case that is already the second boot menu) | 11:36 |
| ^arky^ | about bug 413147: would this work ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/269703/ | 11:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 413147 in ubiquity "Installer allows invalid usernames" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/413147 | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: fixing prepare_grub_to_access_device is very important, or else we can't use grub-mkconfig | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | I don't want to have to effectively fork all that stuff | 12:08 |
| xivulon | I see | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | (prepare_grub_to_access_device is used when initialising gfxterm, and if it can't deal with the loop device then it'll overwrite the "root" variable with something you don't want ...) | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: I have to go out shortly, child's birthday party to go to - could you file a bug about the 30_os-prober change? | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | I'll have to look at context | 12:10 |
| xivulon | will do | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | ^arky^: no, that's the wrong answer - the problem is incorrect error handling logic somewhere | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | ^arky^: just hammering the username into shape isn't the way to fix it | 12:11 |
| ^arky^ | thanks cjwatson I'll keep looking | 12:11 |
| xivulon | does grub shell syntax support if [ -e (loop0)/path/to/file ]? | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | ^arky^: in other words, the fact that the password is too short should not magically bypass the username checks | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: from a brief look at commands/test.c, I think so - try it in grub-emu | 12:12 |
| xivulon | ah haven't used it yet, good time to try that seems a useful tool | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: by fs corruption do you mean the fact that it has to run fsck due to time mismatches? if so that's a kernel bug, not fixed yet | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | grub-emu is enormously useful | 12:13 |
| cjwatson | anyway, got to go | 12:13 |
| xivulon | yes, that fs bug | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: bug 427822 | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 427822 in linux "fsck says last write time in future" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/427822 | 12:25 |
| cjwatson | (really gone) | 12:25 |
| xivulon | is it safe to put translated (non-ascii) text in grub.cfg? | 13:16 |
| shtylman | anyone able to merge in my branch for the kubuntu-installer-style package? or are we past new packages being added? | 15:16 |
| CIA-33 | wubi: Agostino Russo * r152 trunk/ (5 files in 4 dirs): Allow booting via the grub2 loopmount module | 15:34 |
| xivulon | evand, cjwatson, other than 10_lupin it should be only a matter of fixing bug #428407 | 15:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428407 in partman-auto-loop "No need for fstab.d/hostboot anymore" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/428407 | 15:36 |
| xivulon | please wipe that file | 15:37 |
| xivulon | I am not sure 30_os-prober>adjust_timeout does what it is supposed to be doing | 16:10 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, 428443 | 16:28 |
| xivulon | I am a bit confused by the fact that the output of adjust_timeout is appended at the end of the file, while the timeout is set at the top, so I am not sure it will actually be able to adjust the timeout | 16:30 |
| xivulon | so cjwatson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/269664/ should be ok except for prepare_grub_to_access_device | 18:06 |
| ^arky^ | Regarding bug 428293: Is this correct way of modifying /etc/defaults/speech-dispatcher ? | 22:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428293 in speech-dispatcher "Spd doesn't start on LiveCD" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/428293 | 22:58 |
