[00:34] <joshk> how does one set OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING?
[00:34] <joshk> can you just pass it on the kernel command line? will it get picked up?
[00:50] <joshk> never mind, it works on the kernel command-line
[11:22] <ogra> cjwatson, ev, partman and migration assistant both die on omap ubiquity http://pastebin.com/Q5qUwvB9 any ideas ?
[11:24] <cjwatson> Bus error?  Goodness knows
[11:24] <ogra> i was wondering about /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[11:24] <ogra> thats something i can ignore ?
[11:24] <cjwatson> irrelevant
[11:24] <ogra> (it seems to try to access it before partman even started
[11:25] <ogra> ok
[11:25] <cjwatson> it's just stuff run on ubiquity exit that only works if the system actually managed to get installed
[11:25] <ogra> note that i only have 256M and use 50% compcache
[11:25] <ogra> but i dont see any OOM in dmesg or anywhere so i think it should be fine even with that value
[11:25] <cjwatson> probably irrelevant too.  bus error suggests a bug in some C program, or even miscompilation
[11:25] <ogra> gah
[11:26] <cjwatson> why would you suspect OOM?  Bus error doesn't mean that
[11:26] <ogra> because i get OOM if i run with the default of 25% compcache
[11:26] <cjwatson> it's a bad memory access of some kind
[11:26] <cjwatson> so first step is to find out what program is being killed with that signal
[11:26] <ogra> getting only ~300M
[11:26] <cjwatson> strace may help
[11:26] <cjwatson> follow the evidence, don't guess wildly :)
[11:27]  * ogra tries to ... i'm a bit desparate since even the kernel isnt 100% yet 
[11:27] <ogra> so it can be anything really
[11:28] <cjwatson> SIGBUS could certainly easily be a kernel bug
[11:28] <ogra> [ 1094.317077] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0x401f9000
[11:28] <ogra> [ 1094.317169] Process 5295(parted_server) has RLIMIT_CORE set to 0
[11:28] <ogra> [ 1094.317169] Aborting core
[11:28] <ogra> dmesg^^^
[11:29] <ogra> setting RTLIMIT_CORE to 0 is desired ?
[11:29] <cjwatson> ok, so then try attaching gdb to it before it SIGBUSses, and find out where it falls over
[11:29] <cjwatson> RLIMIT_CORE is 0 by default
[11:35] <ogra> seems the fix for bug 498525 is missing in the omap kernel
[11:35] <ogra> (omap is .33)

[12:22] <ev> talking to dbus through fakeroot is proving to be quite the pain

[16:21] <cjwatson> ogra: are you going to implement these new omap installer bugs you filed?  I know I'm not going to have time
[16:21] <ogra> cjwatson, for flash-kernel ? sure
[16:21] <ogra> thats why i assigned them to me
[16:21] <ogra> i just want to give slangasek something
[16:22] <ogra> since they are new features
[16:22] <cjwatson> partman-uboot
[16:22] <cjwatson> bug 559301 is unassigned at the moment
[16:22] <ogra> NCommander was offering help here
[16:22] <ogra> and he created the package
[16:22] <cjwatson> I'll assign it to your team, and you can take it from there
[16:23] <ogra> so i assume we're fine here, i just dont want to assign it to hijm right now since i dont want to distract him from OO.o fixing
[16:23] <ogra> cjwatson, ubuntu-armel please
[16:23] <cjwatson> oh
[16:23]  * cjwatson quickly changes it
[16:23] <ogra> we try to keep canonical out of the bugs :)
[16:24] <cjwatson> well, I don't see why that's necessary, but OK
[16:24] <ogra> in case an enthusiastic community dev comes and wants to help :)
[16:24] <ogra> cjwatson, i guess persia could explain that to you :)
[16:25] <persia> If nothing else, the team has had significant historical involvement from InDT
[16:39] <dmarkey> cjwatson: did you make any block alignment improvments in 10.04?
[16:40] <cjwatson> in the partitioner, you mean?
[16:41] <dmarkey> yep
[16:41] <cjwatson> yes, significant
[16:42] <cjwatson> we try to apply optimal alignment by default now
[16:42] <dmarkey> great, did anyone do any benchmarks?
[16:42] <dmarkey> under kvm etc
[16:43] <cjwatson> no
[16:43] <cjwatson> correctness first :)
[16:43] <cjwatson> anyway, I wouldn't expect kvm to show much of a difference
[16:44] <cjwatson> the differences would be on real disks that care about alignment
[16:44] <dmarkey> great, i see
[17:33] <dmarkey> hmm.. i see the installer makes /boot xvda1 under xen, but sda5 normally(when using lvm)
