| davmor2 | xivulon: hit an issue with wubi kne last night I'm assuming it is the max_iso_size but if I had any persistence to the usb stick, install inside windows disappeared from the wubi menu | 08:32 |
|---|---|---|
| xivulon | davmor2, yes the algorithm is wrong | 08:38 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: cool bug 461566 if you want to comment | 08:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 461566 in wubi "kne image plus persistence means that the iso size is too large I believe" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/461566 | 08:39 |
| xivulon | morning evand | 08:47 |
| evand | hallo | 08:47 |
| xivulon | have a quick look at 461566 | 08:48 |
| davmor2 | evand: more noticeable with kne it's slightly larger than unr | 08:49 |
| evand | I think a DVD being offline is still a likely scenario. | 08:49 |
| xivulon | we could have: min_iso_size < used < DVD_size | 08:51 |
| xivulon | a quick and dirty patch, but should give us a bit of headroom | 08:52 |
| davmor2 | evand: as a temporary work round for unr and kne I'm thinking just tell people if they want to install using wubi don't enable persistence | 08:52 |
| davmor2 | works fine then | 08:52 |
| evand | davmor2: I think telling them to use the force option would be better | 08:52 |
| xivulon | is the release on schedule? | 08:55 |
| evand | xivulon: I suspect most users will max out the persistence size | 08:56 |
| xivulon | true | 08:56 |
| evand | so I don't see letting it through so long as it's less than the size of the DVD being of much help | 08:56 |
| evand | I think our best bet is to release note this, tell users to use --force if on a usb disk, and fix it properly in lucid | 08:56 |
| evand | xivulon: yes, it appears to be on schedule | 08:57 |
| xivulon | I agree this is not critical, and it will not justify a respin | 08:57 |
| xivulon | even if we had a proper patch, which we don't at the moment | 08:57 |
| xivulon | by the way it is "--force-wubi" | 08:59 |
| evand | indeed | 09:01 |
| evand | bug updated | 09:01 |
| davmor2 | evand, xivulon: Yay on a plus side with persistence removed it installs fine :) | 09:04 |
| evand | hooray | 09:05 |

| flagg0204 | has anyone successfully installed ubuntu to an iscsi target, and have it work on reboot? | 16:49 |
| cjwatson | flagg0204: I made changes for that yesterday | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | very late yesterday, in fact | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | after that, it actually worked for me; before that, it was broken | 16:51 |
| flagg0204 | odd. so i built an iscsi target, used debootstrap to populate it. using gpxe to boot. currently it hangs after the grub menu because it cant find vmlinuz or initrd | 16:52 |
| flagg0204 | trying to figure out how to update grub or initrd to support iscsi | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | if it can't find the vmlinuz, updating the initrd won't help | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | AFAIK that is meant to be the BIOS' problem | 16:53 |
| flagg0204 | yeah im grasping at straws i admit. so its probably a grub change that has to happen? | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | I was using a homebrewed setup, copying the kernel and initrd out and passing them by hand to kvm | 16:53 |
| flagg0204 | ah | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | I can ask a colleague who was testing with gpxe | 16:54 |
| flagg0204 | only if its not too much trouble | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | he said it got further than that for him, though | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | (before my fixes) | 16:54 |
| flagg0204 | yeah, mine pulls down the grub config, the menu is presented. when you select the default menu item, then it hangs | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | which sort of suggests to me that it's a BIOS-level problem - for booting, the bootloader is not meant to have to understand iSCSI | 16:54 |
| flagg0204 | well technically it dumps me to busybox | 16:54 |
| cjwatson | oh, then you didn't describe the problem accurately :) | 16:55 |
| flagg0204 | ah | 16:55 |
| flagg0204 | my mistake | 16:55 |
| flagg0204 | yes dumps me to busybox | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | it could find both the vmlinuz and initrd, if you get a busybox prompt | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | what it couldn't find was the root filesystem | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | can I recommend that you use the actual installer to do this, rather than debootstrap? | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | there are quite a few bits and pieces you need to get into the initramfs | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | and the installer (as of *today*'s server CD) automates it for you | 16:56 |
| flagg0204 | for the server iso? | 16:56 |
| flagg0204 | or desktop | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | server | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | but you can always install from the server ISO, and then install ubuntu-desktop on top :) | 16:56 |
| flagg0204 | ah. is that in the usual releases.ubuntu.com or whatever | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ | 16:57 |
| flagg0204 | ah ok | 16:57 |
| flagg0204 | ill give that a try again. thanks for the help | 16:57 |
| flagg0204 | last time i attempted the install on iscsi, it didn't show any of the luns that i had exposed from my netapp | 16:58 |
| flagg0204 | it saw the netapp, just none of the luns | 16:58 |
| flagg0204 | amd you couldn't set the initiator name | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | that I don't know about, I've only been able to test my code against a software target | 17:00 |
| cjwatson | flagg0204: educate me, if you would - what's setting the initiator name needed for? | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | I can't change it now for 9.10, but can consider improvements for 10.04 | 17:02 |
| cjwatson | at the moment, we use iscsi-iname to generate a unique node name starting with iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01 | 17:03 |
| Nivex | Some SAN devices use the initiator name for ACLs | 17:06 |
| Nivex | NetApp in particular | 17:06 |
| Nivex | I think it would be a good idea to have a blueprint for improving iSCSI support going into Lucid | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | well, at least file bug reports | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | we can consider whether it needs the heavyweight blueprint process based on that | 17:07 |
| Nivex | yeah, once Karmic's out the door I'll file a couple wishlists | 17:07 |
| Nivex | the other thing to add would be prompts for CHAP credentials | 17:08 |
| flagg0204 | cjwatson well filers have igroups. and the way the filer knows what lun to map an initiator to is by the initiators name | 17:12 |
| flagg0204 | nivex - chap is a good idea as well | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | ok, those should both be doable | 17:13 |
| flagg0204 | iscsitarget is much more forgiving of initiator names, as you can simply allow all initiators to connect to any lun. not sure if you can do that with netapp | 17:14 |
| flagg0204 | cjwatson - when you booted iscsi root volume, are you just using pxe/dhcp? | 17:43 |
| cjwatson | I pointed kvm at the kernel and initrd directly :) | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | but I know that mathias was using gPXE and got out of the initramfs | 17:47 |
| flagg0204 | doh. yeah forgot about the kvm part :) | 17:47 |
| cjwatson | 17:26 <mathiaz> cjwatson: root-on-iscsi from gPXE works correclty here! | 17:47 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| flagg0204 | cjwatson - just another confirmation. gpxe / iscsi root to a linux iscsitarget does work. although there are some stranges errors probably related to networking setup in initrd | 18:26 |
| flagg0204 | but it did work | 18:26 |
| lzoulek | I was here earlier today and you guys helped me out a lot installing an application. Now I am trying to install a plugin and am not able to get it done correctly. Can anyone help me out | 19:55 |
| cjwatson | flagg0204: ok, thanks | 19:56 |
| cjwatson | lzoulek: you sure it was here? this channel isn't normally for application installation, it's for initial installation of the operating system | 19:57 |
| cjwatson | lzoulek: and I don't see your name in scrollback | 19:57 |
| lzoulek | maybe it was ubuntu beginner | 19:57 |
| lzoulek | not sure | 19:57 |
| lzoulek | do i need to go to another room? | 19:58 |

| Nivex | cjwatson: I confirm the bug is clear. Thank you thank you thank you! | 23:07 |
| Nivex | now, totally unrelated to iSCSI, but the installer | 23:15 |
| Nivex | I installed with tasks=standard on the command line. Got a minimal CLI system, but with openoffice.org installed | 23:15 |
