| xivulon | cjwatson I can reproduce the problem in grub-emu, now I need to understand how to get debugging info | 01:09 |

| kim0 | Hi there ... I have the following line in my preseed | 10:01 |
| kim0 | d-i pkgsel/include string ubuntu-xen-server virtualbox-3.0 dkms build-essential openssh-server iperf netperf bmon xfsprogs lvm2 xfsdump kpartx drbd8-utils drbd-dkms linux-headers-2.6.24-24-xen linux-headers-2.6.24-24 linux-headers-2.6.24-24-generic | 10:01 |
| kim0 | that last pkg ... (linux-headers-2.6.24-24-generic) is causing an error | 10:01 |
| kim0 | couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.24-24-genericdi | 10:02 |
| kim0 | I dont know why this last "di" has been appended ! | 10:02 |
| kim0 | or if it's only something in the log | 10:03 |
| kim0 | I believe I already have that package on the cd though | 10:03 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: is there anything I can do to access the wubi install to get logs etc everything I have tried has fallen down horrible :( | 11:14 |
| pmatulis | with the jaunty live cd, is it possible to install to external usb drive with grub also on external drive? | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | it should be *possible* but this is a standard area of difficulty | 14:14 |
| pmatulis | cjwatson: so currently not implemented? or is there a bug? | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | if it doesn't work out of the box (which I think it will sometimes) you may need to edit /boot/grub/device.map and rerun grub-install | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | it's historically difficult to get grub to work 100% of the time with multiple disks | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | it depends on BIOS boot order in confusing ways | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | the problems are basically unfixable with grub1 but we're working on them in grub2 | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | with jaunty, I suggest trying it and seeing what breaks :-) It should make a stab at it | 14:15 |
| pmatulis | ok, was about to ask about grub2 | 14:16 |
| pmatulis | thanks | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: well, I've reproduced your detection bug locally, at least. unfortunately I rebooted before I thought to investigate ... | 14:41 |
| cjwatson | but that should make it rather easier to fix | 14:41 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: this is for wubi yes? | 14:41 |
| cjwatson | no | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | just straightforward install, didn't detect vista or my other ubuntu installation | 14:42 |
| davmor2 | ah this is for side-by-side then | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | just out of curiosity, whatever happened to the stock icons for Quit/Back/Forward in ubiquity? | 15:03 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: by the way clonezilla is excellent for backing up ntfs partitions | 15:04 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: pass evand would be the one to ask. It's only had text for the majority of the release as far as I can remember | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: hmm, this is odd, I could have sworn that we'd tested this with an additional /sys mount while running grub-installer | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: but I reproduced the problem, then mounted /sys and that fixed it | 15:23 |
| davmor2 | Yay | 15:25 |
| davmor2 | so that might get fixed then? | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | yeah, that much is trivial to fix | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | I think I also see why our attempts to get more log information were vanishing into black holes, maybe | 15:25 |
| * cjwatson runs out for half an hour | 15:26 | |
| * davmor2 hands cjwatson some better batteries for when he starts back up :) | 15:26 | |
| tjaalton | is it possible to use both a kickseed for stuff it supports, and preseed for rest? | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | yep, absolutely | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | use the Ubuntu 'preseed' command extension in your Kickstart file | 16:00 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: nice, thanks | 16:01 |
| tjaalton | I'm hating Altiris already.. | 16:01 |

| CIA-33 | casper: cjwatson * r691 trunk/debian/casper.install: consistent whitespace | 16:20 |

| davmor2 | I wrote a fresh bug for it I'll get the number in a second. Basically only the memtest options show up in grub menu. However they point to the wrong place so they do nothing. | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | I didn't notice that they were in the wrong place, but I've already fixed the fact that they're the only things that show up | 16:22 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: right lupin-casper0.24 is in today's iso so I'm just running wubi now I'll let you know in a minute :) | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: now, the CD still has an old wubi binary | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | so it won't actually *work* | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | as in it almost certainly won't be able to boot Ubuntu | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | but it should have the menu entries ... | 16:46 |
| davmor2 | okay | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | I mailed Evan yesterday evening about getting it upgraded | 16:46 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: did you mail xivulon too? | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | yes | 16:47 |
| davmor2 | cool :) | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | Evan does the builds that actually land on the CD though | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | xivulon has some other bug that I can't reproduce | 16:47 |
| davmor2 | ah okay | 16:47 |
| davmor2 | no I don't think I could either | 16:48 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I seem to be in grub's shell | 16:58 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: top of the screen starts Gnu Grub version 1.97~beta2 and then carries on with a description of the shell | 17:08 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: wait for evands fix to go in and we'll see what happens then :) | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: right, that means it's an old grub and there's no point investigating further for now | 17:20 |
