alvinI want to file a bug against the upgrade to Lucid. (Lucid changes lvm fstab entries to UUID) Against what package do I file it?09:40
persiaI've had boot work with UUID LVM entries, although I agree it's less intuitive.  Are you sure it's really a bug?09:41
alvinYes, because snapshots have the same UUID as their parent. I ended up with a snapshot of /home mounted on /home09:41
persiaOh, good point.  I don't happen to snapshot any of my boot-essential drives.09:42
alvinI needed to remove all snapshots in order to boot properly.09:42
persiaOr edit /etc/fstab09:42
alvinWell, a snapshot of /root could come in handy sometimes. Previously, fstab entries where changed to UUID, except for LVM. I don't know why that changed.09:42
vishjibel_: hi.. 529847 starts off and title probably needs an update but the reporter wants a retry button essentially09:42
alvinSo, what package is responsible?09:43
* persia is looking09:43
vishstarts off differently*09:43
persiaI don't think it's just lucid though.  I think that happened to me for a jaunty->karmic upgrade as well.09:43
alvinOn a fresh install of karmic /dev/mapper/... is used. I'm sure about that. Let me check a Jaunty09:44
alvinHmm, you are right. Fresh install is /dev/mapper. Upgrade (also to Jaunty) changes to UUID09:45
persiaSo it's just a general bug, rather than an upgrade bug.09:46
alvinYes, then this must have been the first time I upgraded a system with existing snapshots09:46
persiaUnfortunately grep -n fstab /var/lib/dpkg/info/* didn't show me anything that looked like a postinst that would be doing that.09:46
persiaSo I've no idea which package needs fixing.  I'd definitely like to "me too" the bug though: it's annoying to try to figure out what is where by UUID when I'm using LVM anyway.09:47
alvinThere is a bit more. (in Lucid), after I changed the entry for /home to /dev/mapper. First, /home can not be mounted, so you go into a recovery shell and type # mount /home. THen you get: mount: special device /dev/mapper/vg0-home does not exist. Then I did lvremove volumegroup/snapshotofhome. Then mount /home and voila. /home is mounted by mapper.09:49
alvinSo, if there is a snapshot, the parent directory is not even found by mountall. This is probably another bug, so I'll file separately.09:50
persiaTry booting into the initramfs (break=preinit I think), and see if `vgchange -a y` adds the correct entries to /dev/mapper09:50
alvinok, I'll make a snapshot and reboot09:50
* persia has two lucid systems with LVM: one boots fine, the other consistently fails to set up the /dev/mapper entries09:50
alvinThere's also bug 527666 and bug 557909 if you have +4 lvm volumes09:51
ubot4`Launchpad bug 527666 in mountall (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "Waiting for /some/partition [SM] (affects: 26) (dups: 2)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52766609:51
ubot4`Launchpad bug 557909 in devmapper (Ubuntu) "lucid hangs on boot because of device ownership (affects: 6) (heat: 40)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55790909:51
persiaI don't have an issue with 527666, and I have 12 volumes.09:53
alvinAnd are the permissions on /dev/mapper/ good?09:53
persiaI have a mix of root.root and root.disk for reasons I don't entirely understand.09:55
persiaAnd some things are just confusing.  I have a volume I use as a clean chroot for lucid/amd64 which is root.disk and another which I use as a clean chroot for lucid/i386 (created within a few seconds of the other) which is root.root.09:56
alvinThat's the last bug. In Karmic, the group is always disk. In Lucid, volumes with group disk do not get mounted09:56
persiaMy swap is root.disk and gets used (I'm not sure "mount" is the correct term)09:56
persiaActually, my / is root.disk, and that definitely gets mounted.09:57
alvinHmm, the new snapshot has 'disk', while the original /home has root. It does get mounted. But now /opt has disk and blocks the boot09:57
alvinOh?09:57
alvinTricky...09:57
persiaI don't think it's the permissions.  I think it's something more subtle.09:57
alvinIf it's not the permissions, it's the first bug 527666, but that one should be fixed. I always have a drive that can't get mounted, but it's not always the same.09:58
ubot4`Launchpad bug 527666 in mountall (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "Waiting for /some/partition [SM] (affects: 26) (dups: 2)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52766609:58
alvinNow it's /opt again09:58
jibel_vish, but the fixes are different, that's why I would keep 2 different reports.09:59
alvinah, after a new reboot, now my snapshot of /home is again mounted on /home09:59
jibel_vish, and a reload button is not the solution for 529847. We'd better try to reuse the running instance of synaptic.09:59
alvinSo, the bug is reproducible if you reboot enough09:59
persiaalvin: Except, like I said, I have >10 volumes and have never encountered it.  This is on my laptop, which is probably my most frequently rebooted device (certainly more than any of my servers or my handheld)10:00
alvinYes, we have to find out what the difference is here.10:00
alvinThis reboot I have 2 volumes that don't get mounted , but this time, the right /home is mounted.10:02
alvini'll start out by filing the UUID bug, but I'm still not sure against what package.10:02
vishjibel_: not the reload button , he mentions "retry option" to reload , this will allow him to close synaptic running already and retry the reload from the sources dialogue..10:03
jibel_vish, yep "retry"10:04
alvinAh, more information. If I remove the snapshot, all filesystems are mounted at boot. persia, would you like to try this? Take a snapshot of one of your filesystems and reboot?10:04
vishjibel_: but I not sure what you meant though , feel free to undup it if you want to dealt separately  :)10:04
vishs/to/it10:04
persiaalvin: Erm, let me get to a good point to reboot first, but sure :)10:04
alvinpersia: Thanks. I'll be here all day (quasselcore)10:05
jibel_vish, that's the point: do not close the close the running synaptic but reuse it instead.10:08
jibel_vish, thanks for your help on triaging synaptic's reports ;)10:08
vish:)10:11
vishjibel_: thats a nice idea , unduping it10:11
alvinpersia: You might want to wait with the reboot. Meanwhile, I did a fresh install of Lucid server (daily)15:12
alvinEverything is fine, as long as you don't create an lvm snapshot. This time I got the grub rescue shell and needed the cd to delete the snapshot in order to boot again.15:13
persiaalvin: How long should I wait?  I'm down to about 4 things to clear before I can reboot, but once I get away from the reboot goal, the list grows again :)15:13
alvinwhile I found another bug. You know the ubuntu-server team has taken the sensible decision to make boot messages visible? Well, errors (and plymouth's suggestions) are not visible.15:14
persiaYou should be able to boot in rescue mode (hold down the shift key while booting), and remove the snapshot from the initramfs15:14
persiaThat's a bug in the plymouth theme: which theme are you using?15:14
alvinpersia: No, holding shift didn't work. I got: "Grub loading, and then immediately fd0 not found, disk not found, grub rescue>15:14
alvinno team. it's ubuntu-server (see bug 548954)15:15
persiaOh, you have a snapshot of /boot?15:15
ubot4`Launchpad bug 548954 in upstart (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 7 other projects) "Ubuntu servers should display information during boot by default (affects: 22) (dups: 2) (heat: 144)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54895415:15
alvinNo, a snapshot of some empty lvm volume I created15:15
persiaUbuntu server had better have a plymouth theme installed, even if just the text theme, or boot gets annoying.15:15
persiaMy servers has it, but it's an upgrade, so I'm unsure how that changes things.15:16
alvinThat wouldn't be nice to people with some intel cards. A lot of servers have those and they show blank screens with a framebuffer or so I'm told.15:16
alvinUnless you are willing to take the risk and make a snapshot, I would use a spare machine. You can, however, use the cd to enter the root shell and remove the snapshot without touching the rest of your system.15:17
persiaYou don't need to use framebuffer.  THere's a text theme that just does text.15:24
persiaI'd expect it to work on a console.15:24

ZykoticK9vish, regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/561667 Chromium is included in the default Lucid install, and adding a single sentence to a package description which improves usability seem to me (perhaps incorrectly) like a "paper cut"15:30
vishZykoticK9: you mean in the software store?15:31
macoit is?15:31
ZykoticK9vish, sorry not "default Lucid install" but "default Lucid repository"15:31
visherr... center15:31
macoah ok15:31
alvinpersia: I can confirm that Lucid, installed from cd lists /dev/mapper in fstab for lvm volumes, as it should be. So, it's only on upgrade that this goes wrong15:32
macoi was like "huhh?? no irefox?"15:32
maco*fire15:32
ZykoticK9sorry maco - wrong wording15:32
vishZykoticK9: ah well , that would be just a bug in the dev release of software center, we usually dont do papercut for those too15:32
persiaalvin: That matches my experience.  Did you already file this bug, or are you waiting for a package hint?15:32
alvinWaiting for the package hint actually. I have no idea what's responsible for adapting existing stuff during upgrade15:33
ZykoticK9vish, i certainly bow you your expertise in these matters (but this seems like such an easy thing to solve)15:33
persiavish: Extending papercuts also to dev releases ought result in more polished stuff on release, no?15:33
persiaalvin: There's a meeting on now, but may as well ask in #ubuntu-server come the turn of the hour.15:34
alvinpersia: A meeting of the server team?15:34
vishZykoticK9: persia: then every little bug became a papercut , that was why we didnt want to include dev release bugs15:34
persiavish: Fair: still good to highlight little easy-to-fix stuff.  Lots of stuff isn't easy to fix, and can wait.15:35
persiaalvin: Yep.15:35
gnomefreakmicahg: linux-image-2. 2.6.32-20.3015:35
alvinpersia: So, I should ask afterwards? (just informing about the protocol here)15:36
ZykoticK9vish, it certainly wasn't myself who added it to papercuts and i was unaware that papercuts don't apply to Dev releases - so sorry for bothering you with this :)  Thanks everyone in bug-squad15:36
micahggnomefreak: hmmm, weird, anyways, I didn't reboot with -20 and am waiting for --21 to push through archvie15:36
persiaalvin: I usually find team members have more time after a meeting ends then when I ask for stuff when they are in a meeting :)15:36
alvinGood point15:36
vishZykoticK9: no worries15:37
vishZykoticK9: persia: i agree it is easy to fix , hence i mentioned "nice catch" :)15:37
persiavish: Indeed :)15:37
