[00:00] meh [00:00] evand1: cjwatson: wubi just locked up at scanning disks [00:05] rebooted now it's working meh [00:05] may have to try this again tomorrow [00:13] fail [00:13] I'm checking the cd incase it's a bad burn [08:34] cjwatson, tested wubi and is fine here :) [08:34] xivulon: sweet [08:34] only minor thing, is that the grub2 menu should be hidden, as discussed a few days ago' [08:35] davmor2, please test it yourself and let me know if there is any issue [08:35] I think I might of had a dud burn or something [08:36] xivulon: Oooh, does Wubi work now? [08:37] StevenK works for me, please try it out and report any problem [08:37] xivulon: I shall [08:37] for this cycle it is mostly merit of cjwatson [08:38] xivulon: out of interest what size partition did you give wubi? [08:38] 5GB [08:39] I was having issues last night at the default of 17gb [08:39] what sort of issues? [08:39] no grub.cfg at all [08:40] hmm that should be independent of the partition size [08:40] but as I say I'm hoping it was just down to a bum burn and am trying again this morning [08:41] in case you have the same issue post in lp [09:03] cjwatson: Wubi worked Yay \o/ [09:03] must of just been a bad burn [09:20] davmor2 cool [10:01] davmor2: there definitely seems to be some instability [10:02] it works, but only sometimes, AFAICS [10:02] I have a hard time putting your previous problem down to a bad burn; if that were the case I'd expect some log messages [10:05] cjwatson: I'm just trying a 64 bit one now I'll let you know [10:07] cjwatson: the only flaw I had in the 32bit one was with the gdm respawn at the end [10:07] right [10:29] dj64bit just locked up on scanning disks [10:29] cjwatson: ^ [10:30] don't where the dj came from [10:31] davmor2: by locked up do you mean you cannot use the mouse and keyboard? [10:32] evand: mouse moves, no c-a-fx though [10:32] C-A-Fx is broken on Wubi installation, I don't know why [10:32] and this is the same kind of instability I was referring to [10:32] reboot and try again :-/ [10:38] cjwatson: reboot it's now gone sailing past that point no issues so far [10:38] lovely [10:48] cjwatson: that time it's worked fine Meh [10:55] superm1: cody-somerville: would you be so kind as to add resierfsprogs to your respective live seeds. Thanks! === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:21] evand, cjwatson: would you like me to post a bug that wubi is a little erratic and you may need to reboot? [11:24] sure, though I don't think I'll be able to do anything much about it myself :( [11:26] cjwatson: no but at least it can be release noted :) [11:29] evand: done [11:45] cjwatson: bug 439279 [11:45] Launchpad bug 439279 in wubi "There seems to be some instability with the installer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279 [12:37] cjwatson: on kubuntu wubi install I get: [12:38] Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr [12:38] same for hd (0,1) [12:39] and then Try (hd0,2): NTFS5: _ with the _ being the cursor then nothing [12:43] would be interesting to know if it reproduces [12:45] I'll re-run it now [12:47] I'll give wubi a testing as soon as I get to the bottom of this usplash not showing the eject CD message issue I'm seeing. [12:51] cjwatson: reboot give exactly the same result [12:51] 3 reboots [12:51] trying a reinstall [12:54] yeah, I meant reinstall I'm afraid [12:54] I'll give it a try myself later - this sounds more like instability than something intrinsically Kubuntu-related though [13:08] cjwatson: this time it's been dropped into sh:grub> [13:57] cjwatson, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/439306 [13:57] Launchpad bug 439306 in ubiquity "Migration assistant didn't migrate Firefox bookmarks" [Undecided,New] [13:58] evand, ^ [13:58] evand: ^- [13:58] snap [13:58] :) [13:58] long known problem [13:58] migrationassistant will get replaced at some point [13:58] but right now it doesn't understand sqlite [14:01] maybe there's a test case somewhere that we can annotate to say this [14:04] cjwatson: I'm going to try a 64kub wubi install [14:05] I don't know if completing the matrix there is going to add much information, TBH [14:05] if this one fails dismally too do you want me to bother loop mounting the drive to get the logs off it? [14:05] it seems somewhat unstable and nondeterministic in all combinations [14:05] it's not that any one thing always fails dismally, or always succeeds [14:06] it's that all of them are somewhat random [14:06] sure, logs won't hurt [14:06] okay cool :) [14:06] from what I can gather I don't think we should label failures as specific to any particular build though [14:06] just wubi === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew [15:01] cjwatson: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/wubi/syslog1 [15:03] could this go on a bug or something please, I can't really look just now [15:04] cjwatson: yeah do you want a new bug or will my generic wubi is a bit screwed bug do? [15:04] though again, doesn't show any *evidence* of breakage that I can see [15:04] the same one should be ok [15:04] would like /boot/grub/grub.cfg too if it exists [15:04] or a note if it doesn't [15:04] no probs [15:14] cjwatson: that's interesting the last kubuntu failure has a grub.cfg that looks correct [15:14] how does it fail this time?

[15:47] superm1: I don't see any problem with that. I was just following the existing convention. [15:48] evand, okay so i guess next logical question is why was that existing convention defined that way? [15:48] cjwatson: ^ ? [15:50] are there any size constraints for the netboot initrd? what is at: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz [15:51] I am getting "E100_request_firmware failed to load firmware "e100/d101m_ucode.bin file not found." if that is expected because there isn't room, ... grumble... else I'll file a bug [15:52] cjwatson: so I found a bit of a workaround for the not having getty and wubi failing issue. Wait for the slideshow to appear, click on a link.

[16:01] I can't seem to find it under ubiquity, partman-auto-loop, or wubi [16:01] CarlFK: I *think* that's the responsibility of the kernel to ship the right bits in the firmware udebs [16:02] evand: I thought davmor2 filed one on wubi - bug 439279? [16:02] Launchpad bug 439279 in wubi "There seems to be some instability with the installer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279 [16:02] ah weird. Somehow I missed that. Thanks [16:03] cjwatson: isn't the installer kernel the same as the kernel that gets installed? (so should have all the same support... so something broke) [16:03] CarlFK: the kernel image (vmlinuz) itself is, but the module selection is stripped down [16:03] (and always has been) [16:06] cjwatson: ok - as long as its intentional and not an opps. but I am guessing good nic support is something the netboot kernel should have - Ill bug all this and let someone make a decision [16:06] stick the bug on linux, it's probably just a matter of adding that file to nic-firmware [16:07] Hi. In Jaunty I used to be able to add 'text' to the boot options on the live cd and I would end up in a logged in shell. I opened bug 434769 to cover this regression. It has been fixed but I retested on the latest nightly and it doesn't work. My Question: What package should this bug be under?

I'll watch 438678 and test after its fixed. [16:12] cjwatson: X crashes my pc when the livecd boots. Is there any other way to get a logged in text console on a livecd? [16:15] only ones very early in weird environments [16:15] well [16:16] you could boot with 'break=casper-bottom' as a kernel argument, then run: [16:17] sed -i 's/basename \$f/& .conf/g' /scripts/casper-bottom/25configure_init [16:17] exit 0 [16:17] that ought to fix it [16:17] but you'd have to do that every boot, it's not a great workaround [16:18] cjwatson: ok, I will try that. I just need to setup something to grab x logs after it dies. Thank you very much.
