[01:43] <evand> bah, wubi install trapped in check.d/duplicate_labels
[02:16] <evand> not sure how worthwhile a bug this is going to be, but filed regardless as bug 446848
[06:09] <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
[07:24] <Allaun> is there any current problems with persistant mode for usb installer?
[07:26] <Allaun> all i get when i enable storing things is the busybox screen
[10:01] <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 :)
[10:31] <StevenK> davmor2: Would you mind trying UNR too?
[10:33] <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?
[10:34] <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: ^
[11:09] <davmor2> Meh talk about role reversals today ubuntu locked and kubunut installed, Talk about random.  Of course kubuntu died on reboot into grub2 :(
[11:10] <davmor2> getting the logs now
[11:11] <tjaalton> huh, dist-upgrade wants to remove grub2
[11:12] <tjaalton> and grub-pc
[11:49] <evand> I'm not liking these bugs whereby ubiquity is dying somewhere in progress_loop and not surfacing any kind of error message.
[11:55] <davmor2> evand, cjwatson: I put the logs from the latest fail including debug on bug 439279
[11:56] <davmor2> I did the install in verbose mode so I'm hoping it might throw up more info
[11:57] <evand> where did that install fail?  It looks fairly successful.
[11:59] <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)
[12:00] <davmor2> evand: I couldn't get logs for the random lockup I couldn't get into terminal
[12:00] <davmor2> :(
[12:01] <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?
[12:02] <evand> in Windows, of course
[12:02] <davmor2> 2 ticks in ubuntu live cd
[12:10]  * cjwatson arranges for ntfs syncio to imply sync
[12:20] <davmor2> evand: added to bug
[12:22] <evand> hrm, there never has been a passwd/user-gid, has there?  Where on earth did I pull that idea from
[12:31]  * davmor2 finds another reason to hate vista.
[15:25] <CIA-33> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1190 ubuntu/ (10 files in 3 dirs): Move to 2.6.31-13 kernels.
[15:28] <CIA-33> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1191 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20081029ubuntu67
[16:00] <CIA-33> casper: cjwatson * r710 trunk/debian/ (casper.init changelog):
[16:00] <CIA-33> casper: Don't prompt to eject the SD card on Babbage boards, since for now it's
[16:00] <CIA-33> casper: reused as a quasi-boot-floppy (LP: #364273).
[16:04] <CIA-33> casper: cjwatson * r711 trunk/ (debian/changelog scripts/casper-bottom/44pk_allow_ubuntu): merge lp:~james-w/casper/polkit-1
[16:05]  * davmor2 blames MS for all wubi's failings just as something to blame :)
[16:07] <CIA-33> casper: cjwatson * r712 trunk/scripts/casper-bottom/44pk_allow_ubuntu: add a couple of mkdir -p calls just to make sure
[16:09] <CIA-33> casper: cjwatson * r713 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.201
[16:50] <davmor2> cjwatson: I'm assuming 09.1 is the one with the change yes?
[16:51] <cjwatson> davmor2: yep
[16:51] <davmor2> cjwatson: cool syncing now
[17:00] <davmor2> burning
[17:17] <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
[17:20] <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 ...
[17:22] <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
[17:31] <davmor2> cjwatson: added to bug 439279 as debug091 and syslog091
[17:32] <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
[17:37] <davmor2> cjwatson: up now
[17:38] <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
[17:45] <davmor2> cjwatson: do you just want to know that 4564 ? S parted_server  or would you like the whole of ps acx?
[17:46] <davmor2> partman is up
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <davmor2> love is maybe a little harsh :)
[17:51] <davmor2> posted to bug
[17:52] <rgreening> poke poke evand
[17:52] <evand> yarp, caught up in other issues at the moment
[17:53] <rgreening> np. just a friendly poke reminder for utf8 fix in usb-creator
[17:53] <rgreening> :)
[17:53] <rgreening> ahha
[17:54] <davmor2> cjwatson: I'll leave the box on but need food bbl if you think of anything else you want
[17:55] <cjwatson> huh, dump is stuck
[17:56] <cjwatson> davmor2: I'd love ssh access if possible
[17:56] <cjwatson> but can work around if not
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <davmor2> cjwatson: right off for tea then
[18:01] <cjwatson> cp /var/cache/debconf/{config,config2}.dat; cp /var/cache/debconf/{templates,templates2}.dat
[18:02] <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
[18:43] <davmor2> cjwatson: got it installed I think but I can't remember how you knock the password off on it
[18:46] <cjwatson> knock the password off?
[18:47] <davmor2> cjwatson: so you can login with no password in ssh
[18:48] <cjwatson> oh, 'PermitEmptyPasswords yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:50] <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 :)
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <davmor2> cjwatson: can't add a user it won't let me hence me not caring
[18:55] <davmor2> plus as soon as you finish I'll reset the router :)
[18:55] <cjwatson> davmor2: well, it's not letting me in anyway
[18:56] <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
[19:04] <NCommander> cjwatson, whats the next step I should do to help get this integrated? :-)
[19:15] <cjwatson> NCommander: sorry, I will get back to you but need dinner ...
[19:15] <NCommander> cjwatson, np
[20:39] <pmatulis> any ideas on how i can troubleshoot karmic not being able to install from a usb device?
[20:40] <davmor2> pmatulis: syslog not give you any indications?
[20:41] <pmatulis> davmor2: what i did was change to a virtual console and got a few messages.  is that what you mean?
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <pmatulis> cjwatson: ok
[20:45] <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?
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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)
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <davmor2> okay
[21:56] <davmor2> Right oh then I'm off to bed then night night and good luck monday
[22:02] <CIA-33> partman-uboot: cjwatson * r4 ubuntu/debian/rules: remove unused substitution variable handling
[22:03] <CIA-33> partman-uboot: cjwatson * r5 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1
[22:07] <NCommander> cjwatson, thank you for your help on this
[23:02] <granskaug> i am having problems installing ubuntu on old comuter
[23:03] <granskaug> ubuntu just will not install to the hard disk
