ev_TheMuso: no00:07
TheMusoev_: ok thanks00:07
ev_sure thing00:08
ev_superm1: do you consider "Support adding packages (on disk) like langpacks and codecs after install" to be complete by the recent oem-config changes, or did you have something else in mind for this particular work item? (assuming you're the one requesting this)00:12
superm1ev_, i dont think there's actually any logic that hooks up the selection of the language during oem-config to the package that gets installed in install_oem_extras right now, so that's all i would see missing00:12
akkHi -- I'm trying lucid alpha 2 and when I try to use my existing /boot (ext2), the partitioner says "File system has an incompatible feature enabled"00:13
akkbut it doesn't tell me what feature is incompatible.00:13
akkI made this /boot with an earlier installer, either intrepid or jaunty.00:13
akk(This is in the live installer run from the icon after booting into the livecd)00:14
akkIs there some way I can find out what the problem is, and how I need to update the filesystem?00:16
ev_superm1: okay, I'll get on that.  Cool, thanks!00:17
superm1thanks!00:17
cjwatsonakk: hmm, we really ought not to whine just because parted can't cope - can you show us the output of 'tune2fs -l <device name for the partition holding /boot>'?00:23
cjwatsonwithout <> obviously00:23
akkhttp://shallowsky.com/tmp/tune2fs.txt00:25
cjwatsonok, well FWIW it's ext_attr it hates00:27
cjwatsonbut I don't think the right fix is really to remove ext_attr00:27
cjwatsoncould you post /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from the installation attempt?  let's see what partman command it's faling over on00:28
cjwatson*falling00:28
akkI've put them all in http://shallowsky.com/tmp/lucid/00:30
akkoops, fixing permissions on syslog00:30
cjwatsonhmm, that's unhappy for at least one other reason that I know I fixed post-a200:40

cjwatsonbut that may not be enough00:41
cjwatsonlet me see exactly what the ext_attr attribute involves00:43
cjwatsonakk: (stick around, I might be a little while but it's on my list)00:43
akkThanks, will do00:43
akkthough I might be heading to dinner soon (then back after that)00:43
cjwatsonakk: could you file a bug on the Ubuntu parted package with these logs attached, and noting in the subject line that it's failing to handle the ext_attr option?00:43
akkSure thing.00:44
cjwatsonthanks00:44

cjwatsonakk: thanks.  alpha 3 will fix your problem, one way or another00:57
cjwatsonin fact, if you want to work around it now ...00:57
cjwatsonakk: edit /lib/partman/check.d/10check_basicfilesystems before starting the installer, look for the line reading 'ext2|fat16|fat32)', and remove 'ext2|'00:58
akkCool, I'll do that. Thanks!00:58
cjwatsonakk: but you should probably start with a current daily buildd of the live CD, to avoid the other problem you ran into00:59
cjwatson*build00:59
akkThe daily-installer in the topic here?00:59
StevenKOf course it is :-)00:59
cjwatsonno, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/00:59
cjwatsonStevenK: CONTEXT ;-)01:00
StevenKOh. Misunderstood01:00
akkThanks, I'll download one of those and use it.01:00
cjwatsonI took the liberty of editing your bug description to say "alpha 2" rather than "alpha 3", which doesn't exist yet :)01:00
akkoops, quite right :)01:04

CIA-6partman-basicfilesystems: those created with recent versions of mke2fs (LP: #517349). We were01:04
CIA-6partman-basicfilesystems: already refraining from checking ext3 and ext4 filesystems using01:04
CIA-6partman-basicfilesystems: libparted for the same reason.01:04
akkI'm heading to dinner (while the daily iso downloads :), but I'll be around later if you need anything tested.01:06
cjwatsonno, that's ok, it won't be ready for test immediately anyway01:08

akkCan I ask another silly installer q? I'm trying the nightly build, but I've ended up with no X and a shell prompt on ctl-alt-F103:02
akkmaybe because I used the KVM to be on my other machine while the live install was starting up.03:02
akkCan I just startx or something from that prompt?03:03
akkThe console isn't showing any errors, but there's no signal if I go to ctl-alt-F7.03:03

joshkis there a way to avoid the automatic apt-get update at the end of an install?21:19
joshkit doesn't seem to time out, so it's messing up my unattended installs21:19
joshkok, never mind. i see that apt has a http timeout of 30 seconds21:25
joshkbut it's not taking21:25
joshki filed LP#51779721:32
Fallenouhi, i'm trying to boot the latest Lucid iso with grub2, but i only found config for grub2 which use boot=casper, and i think lucid ISO does not use casper anymore, what should i put instead of "boot=casper" ?21:41
Fallenoui'm using this tutorial : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/grub2_lancer_des_images_iso (sorry it's in french but you can find the config i'm using) , i think i must update some parameters since the Lucid ISO seem to be using something else instead of casper now21:42
cjwatsonFallenou: I don't know where you got your information from, but lucid images still use casper22:25
cjwatsonand boot=casper is still the way to trigger it22:25
Fallenouok i didn't know, i thought casper wasn't used anymore because there is no casper directory22:25
Fallenouthe directory is now named "install"22:25
Fallenouso i guess i just have to change the directory names and it should boot, thanks :)22:26
CIA-6ubiquity: evand * r3725 plugins-conversion/ (10 files in 5 dirs): Mostly working automatic partitioning page (but not manual), and working summary page.22:28
cjwatsonFallenou: err - you're looking at the wrong CD image!22:29
cjwatsonFallenou: try "desktop" rather than "alternate" or "server" ...22:30
ev_(^ ignore that, uncommitted)22:30
Fallenoucjwatson, i'm actually part of the proprietary graphic driver testing22:31
Fallenouand i think alternate are the only iso available for testing22:31
cjwatsonare these some special customised images or something?22:31
Fallenoui don't know it's my first try for booting one of them22:32
Fallenoui think there are just made to test integration of latest binary drivers inside the lucid22:32
cjwatsonwhy not use the daily-live images?22:32
cjwatsonhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/22:32
Fallenoucjwatson, i took this zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/lucid-alternate-i386.iso.zsync23:02
Fallenouthey are all alternate images23:03
Fallenouthere is no desktop image23:03
Fallenoudo you think it's the same to use daily-live ?23:03
cjwatsonFallenou: if you're looking for an image that uses casper, you are in the wrong directory.  look in /daily-live/current/ instead.23:21
cjwatsonthe desktop images live there.23:21
Fallenouyes i'm downloading it right away23:21
Fallenouthank you very much :)23:21
