| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| ev | hrm, the persistent debconf changes to casper appear to have the effect that debconf isn't writing to its database | 10:43 |
| ev | just a heads up, I'm looking into it | 10:44 |
| cjwatson | ugh | 10:45 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: can one customise the "installation is finished" message | 11:02 |
| ogra | cjwatson, so in my log from last night you think the locking was the issue ? (i wouldnt know where that comes from, nothing uses debconf here apart from ubiquity) | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: no | 11:04 |
| ogra | and yes, i think libc6-vfp is gone since we have vfp by default | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: not without editing source and rebuilding anyway (but that should be obvious!) | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | ogra: it looked like it. you may think you aren't using debconf but some packages are being reconfigured under the covers and they apparently use it. | 11:04 |
| ogra | when could that happen ? i mean i boot directly into ubiquity-dm ... | 11:05 |
| cjwatson | it's being done by the configure_hardware function in /usr/share/ubiquity/install.py | 11:06 |
| CIA-52 | hw-detect: cjwatson * r138 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog hw-detect.sh): | 11:06 |
| CIA-52 | hw-detect: Don't try to install libc6-vfp any more; it hasn't been built since | 11:06 |
| CIA-52 | hw-detect: eglibc 2.10.1-0ubuntu10 in karmic. | 11:06 |
| cjwatson | which some people do want to happen in oem-config, so it isn't as simple as just dropping it | 11:06 |
| ogra | or rephrasing that, could it be ubiquity or could it be the bootstrapping | 11:06 |
| cjwatson | it is a bug in ubiquity | 11:06 |
| ogra | ok | 11:06 |
| cjwatson | or at least it appears to be | 11:06 |
| ogra | well, i run debootstrap and the subsequent apt-get under DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ... so i was fearing it could be a leftover from the build run | 11:07 |
| cjwatson | nothing to do with thta | 11:07 |
| cjwatson | that | 11:07 |
| ogra | if you think its clearly ubiquity then i'm fine for the script side at least :) | 11:08 |
| cjwatson | the problem is that ubiquity uses debconf itself, but then tries to reconfigure some packages that also use debconf, and in oem-config mode they end up trying to use the same database | 11:08 |
| ogra | right | 11:08 |
| cjwatson | and it appears not to be passing down the necessary fds or whatever | 11:08 |
| cjwatson | this is just a top-level analysis, I haven't seriously looked into the bug | 11:08 |
| cjwatson | please do file it separately from your earlier one | 11:08 |
| ogra | will do, i guess you'D like syslog with it ? | 11:09 |
| ev | it'd be fantastic if initramfs-tools supported break=top,bottom. Might have to hack that in at some point. | 11:09 |
| ogra | (the full one) | 11:09 |
| cjwatson | ogra: yes | 11:10 |
| cjwatson | ev: yes :) | 11:10 |
| ev | http://paste.ubuntu.com/373137/ - does that look reasonable? | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | LGTM | 11:24 |
| ev | cool, uploaded | 11:26 |
| ogra | ev, how does that work from a user perspective, i ctrl-d out of one breakpoint and it moves to the other ? | 11:37 |
| ev | ogra: indeed | 11:38 |

| cjwatson | ara: hi | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | ev: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605137 making progress ... | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Gnome bug 605137 in general "way to suppress "(as superuser)" message" [Enhancement,Assigned] | 12:49 |
| ara | cjwatson, hello, I am working on setting up the testcases for iscsi root installations | 12:49 |
| ara | cjwatson, (ubuntu-server lucid up to date iso) | 12:49 |
| ara | and, although I can login to the target, it does not appear in the list of available disks | 12:50 |
| ev | ah, awesome | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | ara: odd, can I see logs? what kind of target are you using? | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | ara: if a software target, do you have a Lun entry in the appropriate Target block in /etc/ietd.conf? | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | mine looks like this: | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | Target iqn.2009-07.org.ucam.vpn.pelham.wl.sarantium:test | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | Lun 0 Path=/srv/iscsitest,Type=fileio | 12:52 |
| ara | cjwatson, yes, I have | 12:52 |
| ara | cjwatson, http://imagebin.org/84186 | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | ok, that does look good | 12:53 |
| ara | but, it does not show the new disk | 12:54 |
| ara | the one that appears is the "physical" one | 12:54 |
| cjwatson | oh, you mean that fdisk shows the physical one? | 12:56 |
| ara | yes | 12:58 |
| ara | but not the iSCSI target | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | ara: can I see logs, please? | 13:03 |
| ara | sure, let me try to post them somewhere | 13:04 |
| ara | cjwatson, I found the typo in the ietd.conf file | 13:22 |
| ara | cjwatson, strange thing is that it does not report it when you start the daemon | 13:23 |
| ara | it is working now, thanks | 13:23 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it's all a bit delicate :-/ | 13:23 |
| cjwatson | great | 13:23 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, did you see whether preseeding was working during Jamie Bennett's merge (bug 518272)? | 13:35 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 518272 in casper "preseed is not getting loaded at boot" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/518272 | 13:35 |
| cjwatson | superm1: the core of it did work, but ev's in the process of fixing a bug whereby the debconf database doesn't get saved. | 13:41 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, ah okay :) | 13:41 |
| ev | I suspect we're not poking the right environment variables. strace indicates that it's just not writing to config.dat-new like it normally would. | 13:45 |
| ev | for debconf, that is | 13:45 |
| cjwatson | we're killing debconf-communicate with SIGTERM, which it may not consider to be a clean shutdown | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | it would be worth trying to close its file descriptors first, and then waiting for it to shut down by itself | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | indeed maybe just removing the kill would do it ... | 13:58 |
| ev | nope, it doesn't shut down | 14:09 |
| ev | SIGINT doesn't help either | 14:09 |
| cjwatson | that suggests to me that some other process still has an fd held open to it | 14:10 |
| cjwatson | look through /proc/*/fd/ | 14:10 |
| cjwatson | if that's the case, then some judicious 3>&- 4<&- redirections ought to help | 14:12 |
| dmarkey | is there a way to get grub-pc to generate menu.lst | 14:28 |
| dmarkey | in tandem to grub.conf | 14:28 |
| cjwatson | no, menu.lst is exclusively for grub-legacy. | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | (and grub.conf is Fedora's name for menu.lst; I assume you actually mean grub.cfg) | 14:34 |
| dmarkey | yep | 14:34 |
| === JamieBen1ett is now known as JamieBennett | ||
| dmarkey | is it possible to get partman to start the 1st partition on LBA 128 instead of LBA 63 | 15:38 |
| dmarkey | strange question i know | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | not really. why? | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | if you're asking about this for the sake of SSD alignment, that's a somewhat bigger question than just the position of the first partition, and I'm hoping parted 2.1 will help | 16:01 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: its for block alignment with xen, between the guests partition table and the backend storage device | 16:43 |
| dmarkey | probably applied for kvm too | 16:43 |
| dmarkey | applies* | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: right, alignment is really a bigger problem, I'd rather try to solve it in one block rather than cherry-picking bits around the corners | 17:03 |
| cjwatson | the way to get libparted to do this kind of thing is to apply what it calls "constraints" | 17:04 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: can that be preseeded? | 17:05 |
| dmarkey | btw i'm working on 9.10 here | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: no, you're probably stuck on this, sorry | 17:05 |
| cjwatson | the installer just doesn't have this feature right now | 17:06 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: how about a format the disk before the installer kicks in | 17:06 |
| dmarkey | in an early command or something | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | sure, you can hack around with that, but it's horrendously difficult | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | you have to duplicate chunks of partman and convince it not to run somehow | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | I'm afraid you're kind of on your own there | 17:07 |
| dmarkey | so, fdisk wont do what i want? | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | fdisk might | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | like I say, you'll have to work this out for yourself I'm afraid, you're well outside normal installer territory | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | in future I'd like to have the installer do this itself, but I don't think I am able to help with doing it on 9.10 | 17:10 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: but if i set up something early, the partitioner will probably overwrite it | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | hence | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | 17:07 <cjwatson> you have to duplicate chunks of partman and convince it not to run somehow | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | i.e. you may find you have to set up fstab for yourself and stuff like that | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | although I suppose you could try creating a small dummy partition at LBA 128, and then tell the partitioner to use the remaining free space | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | that might work, with care | 17:15 |
| dmarkey | thanks alot | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | let me know if it does, in case somebody else asks? :-) | 17:18 |
| fragadelic | cjwatson - hi, this is fragadelic the guy who made remastersys. been getting some reports from folks that ubiquity in karmic is having some issues due to unresolved deps - are you guys in the process of updating ubiquity for karmic? | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | fragadelic: wasn't aware of that, do you have any detail? | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | we don't normally update ubiquity in point releases, but in any event I'd guess this would be a problem with individual packages, not with the installer itself? | 18:08 |
| cjwatson | given that it worked at release time :) | 18:08 |
| cjwatson | err - I meant to say "we don't normally update ubiquity in non-LTS releases" (since they don't get point releases, so no CDs etc.) | 18:08 |
| cjwatson | can make exceptions for really bad stuff | 18:09 |
| ogra | are the gtk/qt UIs of oem-config supposed to have a tasksel run as well or is that debconf_ui only ? | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | debconf_ui only | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | built-in tasksel was just for the server mode. you can always run tasksel manually | 18:13 |
| ogra | indeed | 18:14 |
| ogra | i have a tasksel gui for the rootstok-gui app i was just wondering if i could leave that part completely to oem-config | 18:14 |
| ogra | but then i'll go with my current solution | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | you could try adding a UI page for it to ubiquity | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | wouldn't have to be used as a mandatory thing | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | there's probably some complex debconf plumbing involved, though | 18:16 |
| ogra | yeah | 18:16 |
| ogra | my ui just parses the desc file and hands over ^$task for each selected task to apt ... | 18:17 |
| ogra | its really primitive but does the job | 18:17 |
| ogra | and i think i need to do the run in advance actually, since i select the oem-config ui based on the fact if x/gtk/qt is installed | 18:18 |
| ogra | hmm, yeah, that would actually not work | 18:19 |
| tbrijeski | cjwatson - are you there | 18:52 |
| tbrijeski | cjwatson or anyone else - my question is about the version of ubiquity in karmic - is it changing or has it changed? some users of remastersys on karmic are reporting they can't install as ubiquity won't install due to deps. I have to go soon but will check the irc logs if anyone answers. thanks in advance | 21:00 |
| cjwatson | tbrijeski: you left *just* before I could answer | 21:32 |
| cjwatson | I already answered you under a different name | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | 18:07 <cjwatson> fragadelic: wasn't aware of that, do you have any detail? | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | 18:08 <cjwatson> we don't normally update ubiquity in point releases, but in any event I'd guess this would be a problem with individual packages, not with the installer itself? | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | 18:08 <cjwatson> given that it worked at release time :) | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | 18:08 <cjwatson> err - I meant to say "we don't normally update ubiquity in non-LTS releases" (since they don't get point releases, so no CDs etc.) | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | 18:09 <cjwatson> can make exceptions for really bad stuff | 21:33 |
| * cjwatson will try mail | 21:34 | |
