=== blueyed_ is now known as blueyed === radoe_ is now known as radoe [08:53] rufus fetch the paper :D [12:44] top10 === ogra_ is now known as ogra [16:04] Can feature design complaints be reported as bugs? [16:07] yes [16:08] And if you can include a screenshot, better [16:09] {if necessary} [18:23] I was asked to switch to this channel... Need to file a Lucid installer bug. What log files should I grab before I reboot the VM session? [18:24] > Today's daily (20100419.1) is still broken trying to use xfs on / and /home, ext4 on /boot. Gets an error trying to format the / partition. [18:25] mdlueck: "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" should grab a fair bit of the installer stuff... [18:26] How can I get a term window open since I booted directly to the installer, bypassing LiveCD mode? Ctrl+Alt+F1 gives errors that gtk is not available when I try to run GUI programs from there. [18:27] Is there some hot-key to get a shell open from inside the installer? [18:30] mdlueck: does ctrl-alt-D show the desktop? [18:30] mdlueck: files in /var/log/installer and /var/log/dmesg.log [18:30] mdlueck: hmm, ubuntu-bug doesn't need a gui, can report the bug via elinks or lynxs if necessary, or if you can go to the link given from another computer, I think... [18:31] mrand: ctrl-alt-D does nothing... I moved the installer window out of the way, no icons appear if that should have done so [18:32] charlie-tca: I can go to ctrl-alt-F1 and grab those couple of files for sure, should that be enough? [18:32] As long as they are there, that is normally enough. look in /var/log/installer and make sure something is there, though [18:33] arand: I tried running "ubiquity --debug" which complained about gtk not being available [18:33] /var/log/installer should have a partman log [18:34] That usually works for these issues [18:34] mdlueck: Well that's expected, since ubiquity is a gui app [18:34] mdlueck: do you get a run dialog if you press alt+f2? [18:35] charlie-tca: there are files in /var/log/installer thought no mention of error trying to format the / partition xfs [18:35] checking /var/log/messages === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:36] I do not see errors via tail of /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog [18:36] pertaining to trying to format the root partition xfs [18:37] yofel_: alt+f2 does not bring anything up [18:38] charlie-tca: not partman log in /var/log/installer [18:39] Is there one in /var/log ? [18:39] charlie-tca: debug dm version (is the complete file list in that dir) checking /var/log [18:40] I have one in /var/log checking for an error message [18:40] mdlueck: if you can store files somewhere, then you can run 'apport-cli --save ubiquity' [18:41] and file the report later from a working live session [18:41] Going to need /var/log/syslog too then [18:41] yofel: networking seems to be up, so can scp out of this vm [18:44] apport seems to collect syslog, partman, casper.log, oem-config.log, /var/log/installer/dm and /var/log/installer/debug [18:45] bdmurray: can you extend my membership for ubuntu-bugcontrol? [18:47] yofel_: I tried 'apport-cli --save apport-cli.log ubiquity' Lots of output to the console, no file in the current directory [18:47] sudo maybe? [18:47] Seems to be doing the same thing [18:48] hm, works here though [18:48] jcastro: hello, can you extend my membership for ubuntu-bugcontrol? [18:48] pedro_: hello, can you extend my membership for ubuntu-bugcontrol? [18:49] yofel_: the man page does not seem to have the --save switch listed [18:49] pascal80, hello, what's your lp id? [18:50] mdlueck: o.O? the manpage shows ' apport-cli [ --save file ] symptom | pid | package | program path | .apport/.crash file' as one usage info [18:50] pedro_: hi, it's pascal-devuyst [18:51] yofel_: I am running 9.04 as my host OS, maybe the syntax has changed since then [18:51] d [18:51] pedro_: are you on it? [18:51] bdmurray, yeah [18:51] mdlueck: well, you were supposed to run that on the lucid system (tty is fine) [18:52] mdlueck: while *running* lucid [18:52] pascal80, all done, thanks for your work [18:52] I did, I just did not assume that the man page is available via the lucid live CD, so I went to my host OS to look up the man page [18:53] ah, apport has changed a lot since 9.04, we didn't have --save back then I think [18:53] OK [18:53] mdlueck: you can even run it without --save, you can select save to file later, will be stored in /tmp then [18:54] So, networking IS working, origionl Q then, what should I grab to help debug why / can not be formatted xfs? [18:54] OK, will try yofel [18:54] pedro_: thanks a lot! [18:57] Indicator applet stops showing transmission in Lucid after a while. How can I find out if this is a indicator-applet or Transmission bug? [18:59] I tried to zip up some logs... I get some I/O errors against the ISO image running in the VirtualBox VM session. That is really strange. [19:06] mdlueck: did you check the md5sum of the iso? [19:07] yofel: zsync checked the md5. I rebooted, erased the virtual HDD, and now zip works properly, so zipping up some logs. [19:07] ok [19:11] yofel: not apport-cli reports no pending reports, yet the / partition failed to format [19:11] yofel: I zipped up all of /var/log subtree [19:11] mdlueck: does formatting it by hand with mkfs.xfs work? [19:11] checking... [19:13] Aaahh, mkfs.xfs command not found! [19:14] meaning xfsprogs should be missing [19:14] maybe ask in #ubuntu-installer if they're aware of it [19:14] Will do, thanks! [19:14] Or shall I return to +1 since this is lucid testing? [19:19] not sure, this should be mentioned in the iso testing tracker at least [19:20] yofel: Where is that so I may do so. [19:20] mdlueck: xfsprogs is not part of the default system, but it should be included on the iso [19:20] mdlueck: ask in #ubuntu-testing would be best, today is rc testing so someone should be there [19:21] yofel: Used to "automagically" be selected if a partition used xfs [19:21] OK, thanks, off to -testing [19:22] mdlueck: yes, but for that it needs to be included on the iso, check with 'dpkg -l xfs*' if it's installed there [19:23] yofel: that just comes back with x11-xfs-utils [19:24] here's what it gives on my pc (no xfs): http://pastebin.com/iqkbMCfu [19:25] yofel: Like I said I got the impression that the installer adds xfsprogs if a partition is formatted xfs, but still the installer needs to have it available for use [19:27] yofel: So shall I open the bug against "ubiquity (Ubuntu)" and explain that xfsprogs seems to be missing from the live/install CD? [19:28] I'm not sure how the isos get created, but if you get no answer in -testing for a while please do that yes [19:29] yofel: OK, will do. Thank you SO much!! :-) [20:24] I saw something about testers needed for the x.org bug. If you need 64-bit testers, please give me a link to more info and I'll help out. [20:25] jwhitlark: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/GEMLeak [20:25] tnx [20:32] micahg: Are testers needed for nv driver? [20:32] genii: idk details [20:32] genii: you can ask in #ubuntu-x [20:33] OK, thanks === roman is now known as Guest77924 === BUGabundo is now known as BUGabundo_depres === BUGabundo_depres is now known as BUGa_depressed
