| NCommander | hey cjwatson I'm working with partman-uboot, and it doesn't seem to let me specify the mountpoint of that partition in ubiquity (the box is greyed out). Any ideas? | 02:06 |
| NCommander | s/greyed out/greyed out showing /boot in it/g | 02:06 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: perhaps you need to add cases for partman-uboot/mountpoint wherever you see cases for partman-basicfilesystems/fat_mountpoint | 07:15 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: also note some unfortunate hardcoding of known filesystem types in the frontends | 07:16 |
| cjwatson | search for fat16 or something | 07:16 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, well, its doing the right thing | 07:18 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, it always makes the mountpoint /boot so ... | 07:18 |
| NCommander | I'm kinda inclined to leave it | 07:18 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, who can give me an exception to the translation string freeze. I'd like to improve the message in partman-uboot when it doesn't like the partition layout; obviously not critical, but it would be nice | 07:20 |
| cjwatson | eh, it's not like anyone had translated that | 07:20 |
| cjwatson | "kinda inclined to leave it" - I'm only really prepared to merge a patch for this if it actually handles the partman interaction properly :) | 07:20 |
| cjwatson | which I think does mean accounting for the different questions it asks | 07:21 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, come again? | 07:25 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, the messages about this layout not working shows up just file. Its just not clear on what the correct layout it | 07:26 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, anyway, just adding the package to the packaging lists did the trick. No special mucking around needed | 07:28 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, I'll cook up branches for you with the template change, the partman-auto change to go from ext2 -> uboot, and for ubiquity | 07:59 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: handling for partman-uboot/mountpoint needs to be added or else ubiquity won't offer the correct set of choices for it | 08:21 |
| cjwatson | at least not in all cases | 08:21 |
| cjwatson | I'm not just imposing random capricious requirements for no reason :) | 08:22 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, added where? | 08:28 |
| * NCommander misread what you said earlier | 08:29 | |
| NCommander | sorry, my brain is in neutral at the moment | 08:29 |
| cjwatson | best to search for anywhere in ubiquity that mentions partman-basicfilesystems/fat_mountpoint or fat16 | 08:34 |
| cjwatson | those are handy markers for places you probably also need to handle uboot | 08:34 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, woo, fun :-/. *sigh* | 08:35 |
| NCommander | cjwatson, and we enter final freeze today | 08:36 |
| evand | cjwatson: you're a star. Thanks for your help, the new Webkit appears to fix the bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/445756/comments/5 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/440922/comments/7 | 08:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 445756 in ubiquity "installer exits abruptly when starting actual installation" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 08:58 |
| cjwatson | evand: yay, sometimes hunches pay off | 09:19 |
| xivulon1 | cjwatson, evand sent the strace logs via email | 09:41 |
| xivulon1 | with strace on the jams happens somewhat earlier, not sure if I did anything wrong | 09:41 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r170 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/ (changelog copyright): Updated Ubuntu and Ubuntu One logo license (LP: #451263). | 11:15 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r171 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (565 files in 13 dirs): Updated translations from Launchpad (source package). | 11:49 |
| evand | gah, I sure hope ubuntu-release arms themselves with filterdiff. | 11:49 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: hmm, that's odd, this log seems to suggest that it gets successfully to the point where you've confirmed partitioning, but then simply does nothing else - does that match your observations? | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | I'm wondering if we should stop sreadahead while starting ubiquity, to eliminate a source of random weirdness ... | 11:56 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: If it's alright to do so feel free to respin for tests ;) | 11:58 |
| cjwatson | well, it would be possible to test this without a respin | 11:59 |
| cjwatson | boot with break=casper-bottom, rm /root/etc/init/sreadahead.conf | 11:59 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I'll have a go at that after then | 12:02 |

| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r172 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 9 | 12:04 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, the behaviour is slightly different if I have strace on, without I get to see the slides | 12:08 |
| xivulon | also as mentioned, I had this msg about sreadahead beign killed | 12:09 |
| xivulon | evand, by the way, small commit to enable ext4 by default | 12:09 |
| evand | xivulon: indeed, I saw that yesterday, just forgot to process it | 12:10 |
| evand | on it now | 12:10 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: is that wise? do we know that ext4 behaves better? | 12:10 |
| * evand stops :) | 12:10 | |
| xivulon | was hoping it would improve things, but since it didn't we can probably avoid the commit | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | we can try, I suppose | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | we just don't have a lot of iterations lefet | 12:11 |
| xivulon | well not sure it didn't the partman jam is different from the filesystem hang (I assume) | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | I suggest using $default_filesystem{ } rather than filesystem{ ext4 } | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | that way it can be controlled from the grub menu | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | (if necessary) | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: I'm not sure that assumption is warranted yet ... | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | I've gone over the code in partman that's deadlocking very carefully, and can't see any intrinsic flaws in it assuming that other things are working correctly | 12:12 |
| xivulon | will do more testing tonight, if you can think of anything I could do to help debugging send me an email | 12:14 |
| xivulon | evand please feel free to change wubi preseeding as suggested by colin | 12:15 |

| evand | xivulon: done, built with grub2 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu1 and uploaded | 12:54 |
| CIA-33 | debian-installer: lool * r1196 ubuntu/ (5 files in 4 dirs): Drop dove-z0 armel flavour as we dropped the kernel flavour. | 13:06 |
| lool | cjwatson: Ok to upload? ^ | 13:06 |
| lool | (I didn't test build it; I expect it's relatively safe) | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | I'd like to check why powerpc is failing to build first | 13:08 |
| lool | Ok | 13:08 |
| cjwatson | oh my, genisoimage is segfaulting, that can't be goood | 13:09 |
| cjwatson | good | 13:09 |
| evand | lool: *cough* https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cowboy ;) | 13:11 |
| tormod | cjwatson, installing on dmraid now: looks great, except "GrubInstaller failed with code 10" | 13:19 |
| tormod | cjwatson, I filed bug 452118, but will leave it untouched for a while in case you'd like some investigation | 13:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 452118 in ubiquity "install on dmraid: GrubInstaller failed with code 10" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/452118 | 13:39 |
| evand | hilarious. On crash in only-ubiquity, ubiquity is running the noninteractive frontend, which happily plows through and installs to / on the liveCD, then gdm kicks in, and you're brought to a desktop with a full drive and half the contents missing. | 13:45 |
| evand | as far as I can tell, anyway | 13:45 |
| * evand digs | 13:45 | |
| cjwatson | tormod: hmm - don't suppose you can repeat the installation test, but running 'ubiquity -d' from a terminal to start the installer? (I'd recommend rebooting first) | 13:49 |
| tormod | cjwatson, I can repeat the whole thing if needed. | 13:50 |
| cjwatson | with -d, we should get a useful debconf trace in /var/log/installer/debug | 13:51 |
| tormod | the whole install is rather quick now that partman has less to scan through | 13:51 |
| tormod | why is rebooting preferred? debconf cruft? | 13:51 |
| cjwatson | error code 10 means "bad parameters" to some debconf command, usually "question doesn't exist", but I don't know which question | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | es | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | yes | 13:52 |
| lool | evand: Sounds cool; I applied even if I dont know quite why :) | 13:55 |
| tormod | okdok, brb | 13:55 |

| Nivex | cjwatson: confirmed 441690 is fixed. Thanks! | 14:27 |
| cjwatson | excellent | 14:27 |
| evand | cjwatson: just saw your changelog entry for 2.0.0. Wonderfully put. Thank you for all of your hard work in making that happen. | 14:35 |

| evand | :) | 14:38 |
| tormod | cjwatson, I have only 1+ h left on this machine today, so please tell if I can test something | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | sorry, I was waiting for my browser to reboot ... | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | tormod: thanks, I have all I need now | 14:57 |
| === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew | ||
| tormod | cjwatson, great, should I try running grub-installer by hand? | 14:58 |
| tormod | or I can test again tomorrow (I keep Jaunty on this machine, so I can retest Karmic installations for some time) | 14:58 |
| tormod | btw, has the broken "Examples" link icon been reported? | 14:59 |
| cjwatson | tormod: I'll have it fixed by tomorrow; just trying to figure out the best fix at the moment | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | running grub-installer by hand is unlikely to be very useful ... | 15:06 |
| tormod | just to get things booting, should I use install-grub then? | 15:07 |
| tormod | err grub-install | 15:08 |
| CIA-33 | grub-installer: cjwatson * r819 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog grub-installer): Always use GRUB Legacy when /boot is on a multipath device. | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | the installation will probably be broken if you do that | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity hadn't finished yet | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | let me see if I can get you a patch | 15:10 |
| CIA-33 | grub-installer: cjwatson * r820 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog grub-installer): | 15:14 |
| CIA-33 | grub-installer: If /boot is on SATA RAID or multipath, don't ask a question to which | 15:14 |
| CIA-33 | grub-installer: there's only one acceptable answer and the other causes grub-installer | 15:14 |
| CIA-33 | grub-installer: to fall over (LP: #452118). | 15:14 |
| cjwatson | tormod: apply http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub-installer/ubuntu/revision/820 to /usr/share/grub-installer/grub-installer before starting installation | 15:15 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 156177 in ubiquity "offer to create a separate /home partition" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156177 | 15:16 |
| tormod | cjwatson, ok I thought boot loader was the very last thing to do before umounting target | 15:18 |
| tormod | thanks will try patch | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | it isn't - installing/removing extra packages comes after that, as well as copying log files over | 15:18 |
| tormod | can I try it without rebooting? | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | probably | 15:19 |
| tormod | nice | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | you'll have to run the install itself from scratch though | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | hmm, this d-i powerpc build failure is awkward | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | it appears to be a near-the-fencepost condition in genisoimage | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | I think if you're something like within five sectors of some boundary, it falls over | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | but I have no hardware to test a fix on | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | workaround: random padding file (ugh!) | 15:26 |
| tormod | cjwatson, "Unable to configure GRUB" Executing 'update-grub' failed. This is a fatal error | 15:34 |
| tormod | devkit-disks-daemon also died, no idea if it's related | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | tormod: try reproducing after a reboot again? | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | I don't know what might be wrong just from that error message alone | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | actually, get me the log before you reboot? | 15:39 |
| tormod | I will upload the log to the bug | 15:39 |
| tormod | done | 15:39 |
| tormod | this made a good menu.lst: sudo chroot /target update-grub | 15:42 |
| tormod | (that is, ignoring my other OS'es though, same with Migration-assistant) | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | urgh | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | dear me, that'll require some thought | 15:47 |
| tormod | I have a /target/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub.templates now though | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | I think we need a special implementation of X_LOADTEMPLATEFILE in debconffilter to account for the chroot | 15:47 |
| tormod | cjwatson, ok I gonna reboot for smoketest now | 15:54 |

| CIA-33 | ubiquity: in the /target chroot (LP: #452118). | 15:56 |
| tormod | cjwatson: failed to boot because dmraid was not installed. what you said about remove/add packages _after_ grub installation :) | 16:03 |
| tormod | also it got the root wrong in menu.lst, hd0,0 instead of hd0,2 | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | right, that's also due to your hacking | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | grub-installer fixes that up | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | we'll do it properly when we get dmraid implemented in grub2 :) | 16:12 |
| tormod | funny enough dmraid was installed according to apt-get, but e.g./sbin/dmraid was not there | 16:13 |
| tormod | I did a --reinstall in chroot, will try booting again | 16:14 |

| tormod | sports were canceled so I got to exercise dmraid and ubiquity some more... | 17:11 |
| tormod | cjwatson, I rebooted the live CD again, applied both the ubiquity 3527 and the grub-installer 820 and ... it just worked \o/ | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | perfect | 17:13 |
| tormod | you rox | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | (phew) | 17:13 |
| tormod | the only trouble (serious enough) is that the raw devices are not hidden (they are in the live session) | 17:14 |
| tormod | but that must be a dmraid/udev issue and not the installer's fault | 17:14 |

| === dpm is now known as dpm-afk | ||
| LaserJock | cjwatson: I've got a d-i related question for Edubuntu | 18:04 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: the Edubuntu DVD doesn't have the LTSP option in the F4 boot menu | 18:04 |
| LaserJock | but it seems that LTSP is always installed when using d-i | 18:04 |
| LaserJock | ogra suggested we needed to have the ltsp.preseed | 18:04 |
| LaserJock | that is the ltsp.preseed from the ubuntu preseeds folder | 18:06 |
| === robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew | ||
| cjwatson | LaserJock: that at least used to be included in the default installation option for Edubuntu | 19:49 |
| cjwatson | LaserJock: which certainly still includes most of the LTSP preseeding; the only thing it doesn't do is add ltsp-server-standalone and openssh-server to pkgsel/include | 19:49 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: so right now it seems that LTSP gets installed no matter what task you pick | 19:51 |
| LaserJock | but there's no option either in the main boot selections or the F4 menu for it | 19:52 |
| LaserJock | so do the .preseed files determine that? | 19:52 |
| LaserJock | I'm sort of confused as to what the boot UI hooks up to | 19:53 |
| cjwatson | I believe it depends on what *boot menu option* you pick, not what task | 19:56 |
| cjwatson | this is almost certainly carried over from pre-DVD days; I need you guys to maintain it by sending meus patches, really :) | 19:56 |
| cjwatson | s/meus/us/ | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: right, I'm just trying to figure out what stuff to muck around with | 19:57 |
| LaserJock | I found the .preseed files, but I'm not sure where the actual menu items come from | 19:58 |
| cjwatson | menu items are written out by the files in tools/boot/karmic/, in code | 19:58 |
| cjwatson | they generally include preseed/file=<something> which links up to the .seed files | 19:59 |
| cjwatson | the menu items are translated in the gfxboot-theme-ubuntu package | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | ok, that helps | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: do you know offhand what happens when the boot parameter line declares a preseed, but the preseed is not on the .iso? | 21:20 |
| cjwatson | you get an error screen in d-i, and otherwise it's as if you didn't preseed anything | 21:23 |
| LaserJock | ok | 21:24 |
| LaserJock | looks like that's happening on the Edubuntu DVD currently | 21:25 |
| LaserJock | wait, not it's not | 21:25 |
| LaserJock | nvm, looking at the wrong file listing | 21:25 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: well, I figured out the problem with LTSP not showing up | 21:41 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: does a merge request work OK? | 21:41 |
| cjwatson | should do | 21:42 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: is bug 451872 in the right place? | 22:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 451872 in linux "e100_request_firmware fails with Karmic alternate cd (20091014.2)." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/451872 | 22:03 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: same cause as bug 381037 | 22:08 |

| bdmurray | cjwatson: okay, that's why I asked! | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | I checked, all the bits for e100 are in the initramfs already, so it's just a matter of adding the firmware loader | 22:09 |
| LaserJock | cjwatson: merge request sent, thanks for pointing the right direction. | 22:12 |
| bdmurray | and bug 445522 is probably the same | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 445522 in linux "netboot image fails to start network in Karmic" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/445522 | 22:13 |
| cjwatson | before duping, check whether the relevant module is actually in the initramfs | 22:13 |
| cjwatson | zcat /boot/initrd.img-whatever | cpio -it | grep modulename | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | actually, 445522 is clearly different | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | oh, wait, LACK OF SLEEP | 22:14 |
| cjwatson | 451872 is talking about the *installer*, not the installed-system initrd! | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | so that's a separate bug - similar cause, and belongs on udev, but it needs to be fixed independently | 22:15 |
| cjwatson | 445522 is the same as 451872 | 22:15 |
| bdmurray | okay, I hadn't thought there dups of the udev one but similar | 22:16 |
| bdmurray | so I'll move them to udev and dup one to the other | 22:16 |
| cjwatson | double-wait | 22:16 |
| cjwatson | argh, I am so crap today | 22:16 |
| cjwatson | third try: they're still dups, but they belong on linux | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | on further investigation, udev-udeb *is* shipping the firmware loader as it should | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | the problem is that nothing is delivering those firmware blobs to the installer | 22:18 |
| cjwatson | not a general problem, as *some* of the e100 firmware is delivered | 22:19 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: can you please make sure it's tagged as a regression and the kernel team is informed? I'll get a patch to them | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | because this can't feasibly be fixed post-release, and so we'll need to run it through post-hasste | 22:20 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: yes, no problem | 22:21 |
| cjwatson | I think qlogic may have a similar issue | 22:25 |
| cjwatson | though I can't find a report of that | 22:26 |
