[01:09] cjwatson I can reproduce the problem in grub-emu, now I need to understand how to get debugging info [02:10] ubiquity: shtylman * r3471 trunk/ (4 files in 4 dirs): shift keys on keyboard display [10:01] Hi there ... I have the following line in my preseed [10:01] 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] that last pkg ... (linux-headers-2.6.24-24-generic) is causing an error [10:02] couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.24-24-genericdi [10:02] I dont know why this last "di" has been appended ! [10:03] or if it's only something in the log [10:03] I believe I already have that package on the cd though [11:14] cjwatson: is there anything I can do to access the wubi install to get logs etc everything I have tried has fallen down horrible :( [14:14] with the jaunty live cd, is it possible to install to external usb drive with grub also on external drive? [14:14] it should be *possible* but this is a standard area of difficulty [14:14] cjwatson: so currently not implemented? or is there a bug? [14:14] 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 [14:15] it's historically difficult to get grub to work 100% of the time with multiple disks [14:15] it depends on BIOS boot order in confusing ways [14:15] the problems are basically unfixable with grub1 but we're working on them in grub2 [14:15] with jaunty, I suggest trying it and seeing what breaks :-) It should make a stab at it [14:16] ok, was about to ask about grub2 [14:16] thanks [14:41] davmor2: well, I've reproduced your detection bug locally, at least. unfortunately I rebooted before I thought to investigate ... [14:41] but that should make it rather easier to fix [14:41] cjwatson: this is for wubi yes? [14:42] no [14:42] just straightforward install, didn't detect vista or my other ubuntu installation [14:42] ah this is for side-by-side then [15:03] just out of curiosity, whatever happened to the stock icons for Quit/Back/Forward in ubiquity? [15:04] cjwatson: by the way clonezilla is excellent for backing up ntfs partitions [15:05] 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 [15:23] 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] davmor2: but I reproduced the problem, then mounted /sys and that fixed it [15:25] Yay [15:25] so that might get fixed then? [15:25] yeah, that much is trivial to fix [15:25] I think I also see why our attempts to get more log information were vanishing into black holes, maybe [15:26] * cjwatson runs out for half an hour [15:26] * davmor2 hands cjwatson some better batteries for when he starts back up :) [15:58] is it possible to use both a kickseed for stuff it supports, and preseed for rest? [16:00] yep, absolutely [16:00] use the Ubuntu 'preseed' command extension in your Kickstart file [16:01] cjwatson: nice, thanks [16:01] I'm hating Altiris already.. [16:09] ubiquity: cjwatson * r3472 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py): [16:09] ubiquity: Mount /sys while running grub-installer, since os-prober needs to look [16:09] ubiquity: in /sys/block (LP: #430141). [16:14] grub-installer: cjwatson * r811 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog grub-installer): grub_write_divider is specific to GRUB Legacy; don't call it for GRUB 2. [16:17] grub-installer: cjwatson * r812 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.43ubuntu3 [16:17] cjwatson: I'll try that out tomorrow then see if we can cross that one off the list :) [16:18] * davmor2 wonders if that might fix wubi too we'll find out tomorrow [16:20] casper: cjwatson * r691 trunk/debian/casper.install: consistent whitespace [16:20] davmor2: can you just elaborate briefly on what's wrong with wubi for you? [16:21] casper: cjwatson * r692 trunk/ (4 files in 3 dirs): Tell mkinitramfs that casper needs usplash (LP: #434980). [16:21] 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. [16:22] 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] lupin 0.24 [16:22] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/435153 [16:22] Launchpad bug 435153 in wubi "Wubi now only shows memtest options in grub2" [Undecided,New] [16:25] burns a fresh cd to see what version of lupin is on it [16:32] partman-partitioning: cjwatson * r715 ubuntu/debian/ (13 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 72 [16:36] partman-partitioning: cjwatson * r716 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 72ubuntu1 [16:44] 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 :) [16:45] davmor2: now, the CD still has an old wubi binary [16:45] so it won't actually *work* [16:46] as in it almost certainly won't be able to boot Ubuntu [16:46] but it should have the menu entries ... [16:46] okay [16:46] I mailed Evan yesterday evening about getting it upgraded === cr3_ is now known as cr3 [16:47] I haven't seen him today though [16:47] cjwatson: did you mail xivulon too? [16:47] yes [16:47] cool :) [16:47] Evan does the builds that actually land on the CD though [16:47] xivulon has some other bug that I can't reproduce [16:47] ah okay [16:48] no I don't think I could either [16:58] cjwatson: I seem to be in grub's shell [17:01] what does it say? [17:03] usb-creator: rgreening * r218 trunk/ (debian/changelog usbcreator/backends/devicekit/backend.py): In devicekit backend, ensure mount is empty string '' rather than empty dbus.Array to prevent crashes in os.statvfs from misc.py [17:06] cjwatson: no error just the grub shell [17:08] cjwatson: top of the screen starts Gnu Grub version 1.97~beta2 and then carries on with a description of the shell [17:13] cjwatson: wait for evands fix to go in and we'll see what happens then :) [17:20] davmor2: right, that means it's an old grub and there's no point investigating further for now [17:20] base-installer: cjwatson * r379 ubuntu/ (5 files in 2 dirs): Use DMI information if possible to determine memory size (LP: #413135).
