[01:43] bah, wubi install trapped in check.d/duplicate_labels [02:16] not sure how worthwhile a bug this is going to be, but filed regardless as bug 446848 [02:16] Launchpad bug 446848 in ubiquity "Wubi install leaves partman deadlocked when restarted." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/446848 [06:09] 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] is there any current problems with persistant mode for usb installer? [07:26] all i get when i enable storing things is the busybox screen [10:01] 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] davmor2: Would you mind trying UNR too? [10:33] 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] davmor2: Broke how? [10:34] 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] StevenK: ^ [11:09] Meh talk about role reversals today ubuntu locked and kubunut installed, Talk about random. Of course kubuntu died on reboot into grub2 :( [11:10] getting the logs now [11:11] huh, dist-upgrade wants to remove grub2 [11:12] and grub-pc [11:49] I'm not liking these bugs whereby ubiquity is dying somewhere in progress_loop and not surfacing any kind of error message. [11:55] evand, cjwatson: I put the logs from the latest fail including debug on bug 439279 [11:55] Launchpad bug 439279 in wubi "There seems to be some instability with the installer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279 [11:56] I did the install in verbose mode so I'm hoping it might throw up more info [11:57] where did that install fail? It looks fairly successful. [11:59] 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] evand: I couldn't get logs for the random lockup I couldn't get into terminal [12:00] :( [12:01] evand: I'll try Ubuntu again now and see what result I get this time [12:01] davmor2: what does dir /S C:\ubuntu and dir C:\ show? [12:02] in Windows, of course [12:02] 2 ticks in ubuntu live cd [12:10] * cjwatson arranges for ntfs syncio to imply sync [12:20] evand: added to bug [12:22] 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. === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew [15:25] debian-installer: cjwatson * r1190 ubuntu/ (10 files in 3 dirs): Move to 2.6.31-13 kernels.

[16:51] davmor2: yep [16:51] cjwatson: cool syncing now [17:00] burning [17:17] 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] no need for logs, same thing as before [17:20] CRAP [17:20] I hate this [17:20] well, actually, might as well grab logs just in case, I guess [17:20] might be something different ... [17:22] cjwatson: would the fact that acpid: client connected/disconnected/connected have anything to do with it do you think? [17:22] shouldn't think so [17:31] cjwatson: added to bug 439279 as debug091 and syslog091 [17:31] Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/439279/+text) [17:32] davmor2: where's that debug file from? /var/log/debug? normally we'd need /var/log/installer/debug [17:32] ah 2 ticks [17:37] cjwatson: up now [17:38] 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] maybe ps acx actually [17:45] cjwatson: do you just want to know that 4564 ? S parted_server or would you like the whole of ps acx? [17:46] partman is up [17:47] davmor2: ok, I think I'd like the whole of 'ps auxf' [17:47] actually [17:47] ps auxfww [17:47] gotta love ps options [17:48] love is maybe a little harsh :) [17:51] posted to bug [17:52] poke poke evand [17:52] yarp, caught up in other issues at the moment [17:53] np. just a friendly poke reminder for utf8 fix in usb-creator [17:53] :) [17:53] ahha [17:54] cjwatson: I'll leave the box on but need food bbl if you think of anything else you want [17:55] huh, dump is stuck [17:56] davmor2: I'd love ssh access if possible [17:56] but can work around if not [18:00] 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] hmm, that's tricky [18:01] cjwatson: right off for tea then [18:01] cp /var/cache/debconf/{config,config2}.dat; cp /var/cache/debconf/{templates,templates2}.dat [18:02] then edit /etc/debconf.conf and change config.dat to config2.dat and templates.dat to templates2.dat [18:02] then install openssh-server [18:02] then put debconf.conf back the way it was [18:02] you might have to do the same to passwords.dat as well [18:43] cjwatson: got it installed I think but I can't remember how you knock the password off on it [18:46] knock the password off? [18:47] cjwatson: so you can login with no password in ssh [18:48] oh, 'PermitEmptyPasswords yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [18:50] cjwatson: okay ssh ubuntu@davmor2.dyndns.org should work then [18:50] this is a public channel ... [18:50] might want to set a password and /msg it to me :) [18:53] 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] cjwatson: can't add a user it won't let me hence me not caring [18:55] plus as soon as you finish I'll reset the router :) [18:55] davmor2: well, it's not letting me in anyway [18:56] davmor2: I meant setting the password of the ubuntu user, though [18:56] ah hadn't thought of that, I was trying to add a user D'oh [19:04] cjwatson, whats the next step I should do to help get this integrated? :-) [19:15] NCommander: sorry, I will get back to you but need dinner ... [19:15] cjwatson, np [20:39] any ideas on how i can troubleshoot karmic not being able to install from a usb device? [20:40] pmatulis: syslog not give you any indications? [20:41] davmor2: what i did was change to a virtual console and got a few messages. is that what you mean? [20:42] davmor2: i was installing server edition [20:42] 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] cjwatson: ok [20:45] partman-uboot: cjwatson * r3 ubuntu/ (4 files in 4 dirs): [20:45] partman-uboot: Add explicit subarchitecture checks to a few scripts. This does [20:45] partman-uboot: duplicate XB-Subarchitecture in debian/control, but it makes life easier [20:45] partman-uboot: for ubiquity. [20:45] NCommander: ^- that was the only problem I could see; shall I sponsor the upload? [21:19] 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] bah, rephrase [21:20] properly test it in dove in the alternate installer [21:20] 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] 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] davmor2: I'll give it a try on my laptop on Monday, I think [21:50] okay [21:56] Right oh then I'm off to bed then night night and good luck monday [22:02] partman-uboot: cjwatson * r4 ubuntu/debian/rules: remove unused substitution variable handling [22:03] partman-uboot: cjwatson * r5 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1 [22:07] cjwatson, thank you for your help on this [23:02] i am having problems installing ubuntu on old comuter [23:03] ubuntu just will not install to the hard disk === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk
