[01:29] <cjwatson> Nivex: I think debugging this may require another test installation, unfortunately. Can you do that? If so, what you'll need to do is:
[01:29] <cjwatson> Nivex: 1) run through the installer until you get to the hostname prompt
[01:29] <cjwatson> Nivex: 2) switch to tty2, start a shell, and run 'nano /lib/partman/finish.d/70iscsi_settings'
[01:30] <cjwatson> Nivex: 3) insert a line reading just 'set -x' somewhere near the top, preferably between '#! /bin/sh' and '# Install iSCSI packages ...'
[01:31] <cjwatson> Nivex: 4) complete installation, and attach /var/log/installer/syslog again to your bug

[11:32] <ogra> crw------- 1 ogra tty    4,  2 2009-10-19 12:31 /dev/tty2
[11:32] <ogra> how can that happen ?
[11:32] <ogra> (it's a fresh install, completely untouched yet)
[11:32] <ogra> the rest of the ttys are root,tty owned
[11:37] <cjwatson> ogra: are you logged in on those ttys?
[11:38] <ogra> oh, yes i think i was
[11:38] <cjwatson> ttys are chowned to you when you log in
[11:38] <ogra> oh, is that new or did i just never notice ?
[11:39] <cjwatson> been that way as long as I've been using Linux
[11:39] <ogra> in any case i get mknod errors from console-setup ... i just ran into this when i was checking where they come from
[11:39] <cjwatson> what errors exactly?
[11:40] <ogra> "device exists"
[11:40] <ogra> with the tty name
[11:40] <ogra> its the mknod call from the init-top script i think
[11:41] <cjwatson> that's guarded with a [ -c ] test though
[11:41] <ogra> yeah, i saw that
[11:41] <cjwatson> you sure it's from console-setup code?
[11:41] <ogra> but it's the only mknod i can find in /etc/init or /usr/share/initramfs-tools that could be related
[11:42] <cjwatson> a transcript would be nice
[11:42] <ogra> unless there is a udev rule that calls mknod
[11:45] <ogra> "mknod: /dev/tty5: File exists" is the exact error msg this boot
[11:45] <ogra> smells racy
[11:45] <ogra> (the numbers vary and it doesnt happen each boot)
[11:46] <cjwatson> it's always possible to race with udev's default device creation
[11:46] <cjwatson> it'll be harmless though - errors from that script are ignored
[11:47] <cjwatson> so I'd file a bug and move on if I were you :)
[11:47] <ogra> indeed its harmless but given there was some effort to not have messages during boot i thought i'd take a look :)
[12:10] <tjaalton> karmic fails to boot after a fresh preseeded install, mounting devpts fails and dmesg shows "devpts: called with bogus options"
[12:10] <tjaalton> ideas about that one?
[12:11] <cjwatson> is it listed in /etc/fstab?
[12:11] <cjwatson> (I'd expect not)
[12:11] <cjwatson> sounds like a mountall bug anyway
[12:11] <tjaalton> hmm
[12:12] <tjaalton> looks like my passwd/group are broken, and that's a local bug ;)
[12:12] <cjwatson> ./src/mountall.c:242:   { "/dev/pts",                 NULL,        FALSE, "devpts",      "noexec,nosuid,gid=tty,mode=0620", NULL         },
[12:12] <cjwatson> ah
[12:12] <tjaalton> yeah, no tty group available, so..
[12:13] <tjaalton> that said, a friend of mine said that a fresh install added "vga=799" option for the kernel
[12:13] <tjaalton> and filed a bug about it
[12:13] <cjwatson> I've already commented on that bug ...
[12:13] <cjwatson> am waiting for more info back from him
[12:14] <tjaalton> ah good
[12:15] <tjaalton> so I see.. yeah it's pretty strange
[12:15] <davmor2> evand, cjwatson: should the bar on resize move off of 0%?  on resize the disc activity is manic but nothing register on the bar
[12:15] <cjwatson> ideally it *ought* to, but that bug has been open since about 4.10 ;-)
[12:15] <evand> heh
[12:16] <cjwatson> we normally use an external tool for resizing rather than part of libparted, and so at the moment we have no way to get progress information back from it
[12:19] <davmor2> ah okay
[12:20] <davmor2> cjwatson: out of interest why don't you use libparted?
[12:20] <cjwatson> libparted clones and hacks filesystem implementation code
[12:21] <cjwatson> this was fine for a while, but it doesn't work with many more modern filesystem configurations (e.g. ext* with the resize_inode feature, which has been enabled by default for years), and it's hideously difficult to update
[12:21] <cjwatson> so basically we can't use it 'cos it's busted :)
[12:28] <davmor2> cjwatson: that sounds fair :)
[13:18] <lool> evand: Thanks for chasing the APT popup bug on moblin cds~

[13:18] <evand> sure thing
[13:19] <evand> waiting to hear back from mvo

[13:21] <lool> evand: Would it help if we included empty Packages.gz fils?
[13:21] <lool> files
[13:21] <evand> lool: that would work around the bug, yes
[13:21] <evand> I believe so, anyway
[13:22] <evand> that's where apt is getting choked up
[13:22] <lool> I guess it doesn't like the Relesae file not signing *anything*

[13:22] <evand> indeed

[13:23] <lool> I'll look into it

[13:25] <evand> interesting.  This is using disk images, I take it?
[13:26] <ogra> yep

[15:13] <evand> Please file a bug

[15:50] <evand> cjwatson: no, not from my limited testing nor from my understanding of the code.
[15:51] <cjwatson> so it just means that you can resize wider but not narrower again?
[15:52] <evand> correct
[15:52] <evand> because it will set the size request to be the width of the current allocation
[15:53] <cjwatson> seems a bit weird but not that bad

[16:11] <cjwatson> it has quite a short timeout because people complain otherwise

[16:13] <cjwatson> oh, of course, it didn't even realise that it was incomplete
[16:14] <cjwatson> I think it's best to consider this a known gotcha for karmic; I'm not sure we can do anything about this in the time available without causing some other bug to pop up elsewhere
[16:14] <ara> cjwatson, ok. I will keep testing
[16:15] <cjwatson> for lucid I'm pretty tempted to whack that timeout back up, since we now have working cancellation at that point

[17:29] <iamfuzz> from what I understand the default livecd user is ubuntu
[17:29] <iamfuzz> I would like to pre-populate some things in /home/ubuntu but it doesn't appear that user is created until boot time
[17:30] <cjwatson> right
[17:30] <iamfuzz> is there a way to do it properly?
[17:30] <iamfuzz> i.e. if I manually create the ubuntu user, will that dork casper up
[17:30] <iamfuzz> ?
[17:30] <cjwatson> yes, don't do that
[17:31] <cjwatson> either edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser, or create a new script that runs after that following the same style, that adds your stuff at boot time
[17:32] <cjwatson> in either case, run update-initramfs -u and copy the resulting /boot/initrd.img-* to /casper/initrd.gz on the CD (I think there's advice on this in the standard live CD customisation docs)
[17:32] <iamfuzz> thx colin, I'll give it a go
