| evand | bah, wubi install trapped in check.d/duplicate_labels | 01:43 |
|---|---|---|
| evand | not sure how worthwhile a bug this is going to be, but filed regardless as bug 446848 | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 446848 in ubiquity "Wubi install leaves partman deadlocked when restarted." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/446848 | 02:16 |
| unknownanime | can someone help me I am trying to figure out if it is possible to load ubuntu onto an older power mac g4 running mac 9.2.2 | 06:09 |
| Allaun | is there any current problems with persistant mode for usb installer? | 07:24 |
| Allaun | all i get when i enable storing things is the busybox screen | 07:26 |
| davmor2 | I've had a cunning plan. I'm going to run verbose mode and see if anything shows up then no today's ubuntu and kubuntu wubi installs :) | 10:01 |
| StevenK | davmor2: Would you mind trying UNR too? | 10:31 |
| davmor2 | StevenK: Would do but it's fscking well bust again. I can't access terminal either /me is spitting venom at the screen with a few choice words | 10:33 |
| StevenK | davmor2: Broke how? | 10:33 |
| davmor2 | evand: Locking up completely again at computing the new partitions... and no terminal access this time. Will try Kubuntu as I get terminal access at least | 10:34 |
| davmor2 | StevenK: ^ | 10:34 |
| davmor2 | Meh talk about role reversals today ubuntu locked and kubunut installed, Talk about random. Of course kubuntu died on reboot into grub2 :( | 11:09 |
| davmor2 | getting the logs now | 11:10 |
| tjaalton | huh, dist-upgrade wants to remove grub2 | 11:11 |
| tjaalton | and grub-pc | 11:12 |
| evand | I'm not liking these bugs whereby ubiquity is dying somewhere in progress_loop and not surfacing any kind of error message. | 11:49 |
| davmor2 | evand, cjwatson: I put the logs from the latest fail including debug on bug 439279 | 11:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 439279 in wubi "There seems to be some instability with the installer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279 | 11:55 |
| davmor2 | I did the install in verbose mode so I'm hoping it might throw up more info | 11:56 |
| evand | where did that install fail? It looks fairly successful. | 11:57 |
| davmor2 | evand: that is the kubuntu one where it dies on grub on reboot with the message Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr -> (hd0,2) | 11:59 |
| davmor2 | evand: I couldn't get logs for the random lockup I couldn't get into terminal | 12:00 |
| davmor2 | :( | 12:00 |
| davmor2 | evand: I'll try Ubuntu again now and see what result I get this time | 12:01 |
| evand | davmor2: what does dir /S C:\ubuntu and dir C:\ show? | 12:01 |
| evand | in Windows, of course | 12:02 |
| davmor2 | 2 ticks in ubuntu live cd | 12:02 |
| * cjwatson arranges for ntfs syncio to imply sync | 12:10 | |
| davmor2 | evand: added to bug | 12:20 |
| evand | hrm, there never has been a passwd/user-gid, has there? Where on earth did I pull that idea from | 12:22 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: I'm assuming 09.1 is the one with the change yes? | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: yep | 16:51 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: cool syncing now | 16:51 |
| davmor2 | burning | 17:00 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: It stopped install at 7% scanning disks... on ubiquity with slides. however it hasn't locked up so I can get to terminal and can grab logs | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | no need for logs, same thing as before | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | CRAP | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | I hate this | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | well, actually, might as well grab logs just in case, I guess | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | might be something different ... | 17:20 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: would the fact that acpid: client connected/disconnected/connected have anything to do with it do you think? | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | shouldn't think so | 17:22 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: added to bug 439279 as debug091 and syslog091 | 17:31 |
| ubottu | Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279/+text) | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: where's that debug file from? /var/log/debug? normally we'd need /var/log/installer/debug | 17:32 |
| davmor2 | ah 2 ticks | 17:32 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: up now | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: (a) can I have /var/log/partman too and (b) can you check 'ps aux | grep parted_server' and find out if there's a parted_server process running? | 17:38 |
| cjwatson | maybe ps acx actually | 17:38 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: do you just want to know that 4564 ? S parted_server or would you like the whole of ps acx? | 17:45 |
| davmor2 | partman is up | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: ok, I think I'd like the whole of 'ps auxf' | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | actually | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | ps auxfww | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | gotta love ps options | 17:47 |
| davmor2 | love is maybe a little harsh :) | 17:48 |
| davmor2 | posted to bug | 17:51 |
| rgreening | poke poke evand | 17:52 |
| evand | yarp, caught up in other issues at the moment | 17:52 |
| rgreening | np. just a friendly poke reminder for utf8 fix in usb-creator | 17:53 |
| rgreening | :) | 17:53 |
| rgreening | ahha | 17:53 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I'll leave the box on but need food bbl if you think of anything else you want | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | huh, dump is stuck | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I'd love ssh access if possible | 17:56 |
| cjwatson | but can work around if not | 17:56 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: can't install openssh-server /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process. Is there away round it then you can have ssh access | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | hmm, that's tricky | 18:00 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: right off for tea then | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | cp /var/cache/debconf/{config,config2}.dat; cp /var/cache/debconf/{templates,templates2}.dat | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | then edit /etc/debconf.conf and change config.dat to config2.dat and templates.dat to templates2.dat | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | then install openssh-server | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | then put debconf.conf back the way it was | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | you might have to do the same to passwords.dat as well | 18:02 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: got it installed I think but I can't remember how you knock the password off on it | 18:43 |
| cjwatson | knock the password off? | 18:46 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: so you can login with no password in ssh | 18:47 |
| cjwatson | oh, 'PermitEmptyPasswords yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 18:48 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: okay ssh ubuntu@davmor2.dyndns.org should work then | 18:50 |
| cjwatson | this is a public channel ... | 18:50 |
| cjwatson | might want to set a password and /msg it to me :) | 18:50 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, I tested the first version of partman-uboot (on x86), and it seems to work well. Check actions work, and the filesystem is properly formatted and such | 18:53 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: can't add a user it won't let me hence me not caring | 18:54 |
| davmor2 | plus as soon as you finish I'll reset the router :) | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: well, it's not letting me in anyway | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I meant setting the password of the ubuntu user, though | 18:56 |
| davmor2 | ah hadn't thought of that, I was trying to add a user D'oh | 18:56 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, whats the next step I should do to help get this integrated? :-) | 19:04 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: sorry, I will get back to you but need dinner ... | 19:15 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, np | 19:15 |
| pmatulis | any ideas on how i can troubleshoot karmic not being able to install from a usb device? | 20:39 |
| davmor2 | pmatulis: syslog not give you any indications? | 20:40 |
| pmatulis | davmor2: what i did was change to a virtual console and got a few messages. is that what you mean? | 20:41 |
| pmatulis | davmor2: i was installing server edition | 20:42 |
| cjwatson | pmatulis: it's best to get full logs (/var/log/syslog and probably /var/log/partman) to us in the form of a bug report | 20:42 |
| pmatulis | cjwatson: ok | 20:43 |
| CIA-33 | partman-uboot: cjwatson * r3 ubuntu/ (4 files in 4 dirs): | 20:45 |
| CIA-33 | partman-uboot: Add explicit subarchitecture checks to a few scripts. This does | 20:45 |
| CIA-33 | partman-uboot: duplicate XB-Subarchitecture in debian/control, but it makes life easier | 20:45 |
| CIA-33 | partman-uboot: for ubiquity. | 20:45 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: ^- that was the only problem I could see; shall I sponsor the upload? | 20:45 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, looks good to me. I don't think I'm going to have an opportunity to get it working on dove, we're having a very unusual keyboard issue so I dunno when we'll have alternates working | 21:19 |
| NCommander | bah, rephrase | 21:20 |
| NCommander | properly test it in dove in the alternate installer | 21:20 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, (sorry, I went out for lunch mere minutes before you came back, and it took a bit longer to get back than I had intended) | 21:20 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I've gathered all the information I think I can from your system right now; it looks as though partman's synchronisation with parted_server is out of whack, and I'll need to run it from the start to see | 21:49 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I'll give it a try on my laptop on Monday, I think | 21:49 |
| davmor2 | okay | 21:50 |
| davmor2 | Right oh then I'm off to bed then night night and good luck monday | 21:56 |
| CIA-33 | partman-uboot: cjwatson * r4 ubuntu/debian/rules: remove unused substitution variable handling | 22:02 |

| NCommander | cjwatson, thank you for your help on this | 22:07 |
