| shtylman | cjwatson: lets say I have a package which depends on other packages (not unheard of I hear :) ... and lets say that the packages I depend on like to ask annoying questions? during their install ... but my package provides configuration files so those questions are irrelevant... can I supress them with my package during the install? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | nope | 00:08 |
| shtylman | ;( | 00:08 |
| cjwatson | debconf questions are usually asked by .config scripts, which are way early on, before any packages are even unpacked | 00:09 |
| shtylman | I see | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | you'll need to work with the relevant package maintainers to improve things somehow | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | or preseed things in a non-packaged way | 00:09 |

| superm1 | i've been curious, how come you have always explicitly had to change that in the seeds? is it not possible to just seed the meta and let the meta handle grabbing the newest? | 00:58 |
| cjwatson | no it isn't, but I'm too tired to explain properly :) | 00:59 |
| cjwatson | basically metapackages aren't applicable in this position | 01:00 |

| cjwatson | days ago ... | 11:32 |
| * cjwatson rsyncs to check but I'm pretty certain it was there last I looked | 11:32 | |
| cjwatson | you sure you're checking a daily, not alpha-3? | 11:33 |
| ev | cjwatson: thanks! | 11:36 |
| michaelforrest1 | cjwatson: I'm on the daily-live image yes | 11:38 |
| michaelforrest1 | it's got the first version I sent you, but I sent you that new stuff on Thursday after the brand rollout with the new logo and glowy icons | 11:39 |
| michaelforrest1 | on purple | 11:39 |
| michaelforrest1 | sorry: "aubergine" | 11:40 |
| cjwatson | michaelforrest1: oh, was that the mail subject "boot image" with no body? | 11:44 |
| michaelforrest1 | quite probably | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | no, that's got the old logo on black | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | michaelforrest1: I do not have this stuff from you | 11:44 |
| michaelforrest1 | cjwatson: The email is called "New Brand for Boot Screen" | 11:45 |
| michaelforrest1 | you replied to it | 11:45 |
| cjwatson | and I integrated the image from the followup you sent me to that | 11:45 |
| cjwatson | the 640x350 one | 11:45 |
| cjwatson | or at least I certainly thought I did | 11:46 |
| michaelforrest1 | so it's supposed to look like this: http://assets.grimaceworks.com/boot_experience_640_wide.png | 11:46 |
| michaelforrest1 | but when I look at the daily build, it still looks like this: http://assets.grimaceworks.com/boot-screen.png | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | right, that's what I thought I'd done. I must have made some trivial mistake in the build scripts | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | thanks, I'll fix that | 11:47 |
| michaelforrest1 | ok cool. | 11:47 |
| michaelforrest1 | thanks | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | I probably just forgot to switch over the image filename or something | 11:47 |

| cjwatson | michaelforrest1: can you please tell me how I can reproduce this problem about boot option text being missing, and there just being "live", "install", etc. instead? | 14:15 |
| michaelforrest1 | we ran the installer from yesterday's daily | 14:16 |
| michaelforrest1 | cjwatson: so I guess you should see it that way | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | sorry, can you please be more specific | 14:16 |
| cjwatson | what exactly did you do | 14:16 |
| michaelforrest1 | put in the usb key and pressed a key during boot | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | and where exactly did you see this text? | 14:17 |
| michaelforrest1 | in the gfxboot screen | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | you see, I tried this with today's daily, but there have been no relevant changes since yesterday | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | so obviously you and I are doing something different | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | perhaps it's specific to the use of USB keys? | 14:17 |
| michaelforrest1 | this was Mark and Iain | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | what I am trying to do is turn this into an actual bug report | 14:18 |
| michaelforrest1 | can you try TheDoctor ? | 14:18 |
| cjwatson | since it's clearly just a bug | 14:18 |
| cjwatson | ok | 14:18 |

| === robbiew_ is now known as robbiew | ||
| ev | cjwatson: I suspect it might be a usb-creator bug | 14:43 |
| ev | that kind of thing happened the last time configuration files were moved around in isolinux | 14:43 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it seems possible doesn't it. It does seem to copy all of the isolinux directory though? | 14:44 |
| ev | it does, but then it mucks with it | 14:44 |
| ev | to add try-usb and such | 14:44 |
| ev | and that's generally where things burst into flames | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | the other obvious possibility is gfxboot-theme-ubuntu failing to find stuff under /syslinux/, but the filenames aren't complicated or anything | 14:44 |
| ev | indeed | 14:45 |
| shtylman | ev: the kubuntu branch got merged... I was under the impression it was waiting on me to add the changelog entries and take out the stale code? | 15:03 |
| ev | shtylman: I added changelog entries on your behalf. I wanted to get an upload in as we're quickly approaching beta freeze. | 15:05 |

| michaelforrest1 | ev: any idea why dd is so damn slow?? | 15:50 |
| ev | michaelforrest1: ...it isn't? | 15:51 |
| ev | keep in mind you're writing to a USB disk. Not exactly the fastest write speeds on the planet. | 15:52 |
| michaelforrest1 | yeah but I'm talking like 2k/s | 15:52 |
| michaelforrest1 | I have it set to bs=4096 | 15:52 |
| michaelforrest1 | it's crazy slow | 15:52 |
| ev | I was just going to ask | 15:52 |
| ev | bs=1M is what usb-creator uses | 15:52 |
| michaelforrest1 | which would be bs=1024 right? | 15:53 |
| michaelforrest1 | how long does usb-creator take? | 15:53 |
| ev | no, 1024 would be 1K | 15:55 |
| ev | michaelforrest1: I don't time it from fear of knowing the answer to that question | 15:55 |
| michaelforrest1 | oh dear. | 15:56 |
| persia | Note that for fastest write, you'll want to get information about the geometry of the flash in the USB drive, and set bs to match the flash eraseblock size (or an integer multiple thereof). | 15:57 |
| cjwatson | I think the kernel exposes that through /sys now ... | 15:58 |
| persia | bs=1M usually works because most drives have 2K or 4K eraseblocks. | 15:58 |
| ev | ooo | 15:58 |

| cjwatson | cr3: I would advise calling update-grub directly | 22:09 |
| cjwatson | so use 20081029ubuntu89 :-) | 22:09 |
| exlt | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/ shows 88 | 22:10 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: the problem was that I wasn't mount --binding lots of directories, seems to work now | 22:10 |
| exlt | have a location to pull from? | 22:10 |

| exlt | would be killer to not purge all the older kernel versions | 22:18 |

| exlt | ah, the packages are there, but pruned from repository, so not "findable" by a client machine | 22:19 |
| cjwatson | err, no | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | the way it's supposed to work is that the old kernel is not removed from the repository until the installer has been updated | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | but removal is a manual process, so this is vulnerable to human error | 22:20 |
| exlt | hmm.. | 22:20 |
| mcasadevall | cjwatson: alternate builds, live builds successed AFAIK | 22:29 |
| cjwatson | mcasadevall: but that's the URL I'm looking at - URL to the log you're looking at, please? | 22:30 |

| mcasadevall | cjwatson: but the kernel ABI in the log and whats on LP agree with each other | 22:32 |
| cjwatson | but the kernel ABI of the debian-installer binaries currently published does not | 22:33 |

| cjwatson | yes | 22:33 |
| cjwatson | well, I might have to reupload d-i, but that's OK | 22:33 |
| * NCommander is going to attempt to bend ia64 images back into working order, and may take another whack at SPARC | 22:33 | |
| cjwatson | and actually, the kernel ABI in the log does not agree with the kernel ABI in the archive | 22:34 |
| cjwatson | the log says 2.6.32-14, but the archive has 2.6.32-16 | 22:34 |
