corecode_hey00:57
corecode_where could i find a current preseed example?00:57
corecode_the 10.04 docs are not up yet00:57
persiacorecode_: Except for a few minor changes, the 9.10 docs are mostly correct.  Is something not working?01:12
corecode_i'm coming from 9.0401:12
corecode_just making sure01:13
corecode_i'm quite happy with our cluster installation system now, boots + installs ubuntu all automatically01:17
corecode_oh, the install colorscheme changed?01:17
corecode_at least via serial console01:17
corecode_aha, which question is "Write the changes to disk", title "[!!] Partition disks"01:19
corecode_that's not preseeded now01:19
corecode_what happened to libpam0g?01:19
corecode_i think my mirror is not in sync yet01:21
corecode_can that be?01:21
persiaPossibly.  I still have libpam0g though, which means it might be something else.01:30
corecode_yes, now it worked01:34
corecode_d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true01:34
corecode_that was the preseed question01:35
persiaSo it works now?01:35
corecode_up to now01:35
corecode_:)01:35
corecode_it feels like lucid takes longer to install than jaunty01:51
corecode_could be ext4 vs ext301:51
persiaQuite possibly, yes.  There's some annoyances that happen in certain circumstances with ext4 performance.01:52
corecode_sad.01:53
corecode_this is a quite beefy machine, 24 core 32gb, 1gbps network01:54
corecode_dunno about the disk tho01:54
persiaYou can always use ext3 if you like :)01:54
corecode_i'd rather not play with the lvm auto partitioner01:55
corecode_:)01:55
corecode_yea, definitely the file system01:56
corecode_ri1.8 took ~20 seconds or more to install01:56
JanCIIRC dpkg does a lot of sync'ing to disk, and ext4 doesn't like that02:03
corecode_i see02:03
corecode_maybe mount with nosync or so?02:03
corecode_i wonder if that is possible during install02:04
JanCit does that because if something happens and data isn't on disk yet, you won't be happy  ;)02:04
corecode_grub didn't want to install automatically02:04
corecode_but now i selected the menu item and it works02:04
persialucid switched to grub202:04
corecode_strange02:04
corecode_so did karmic, no?02:05
persiaYes, but I thought you were basing off a 9.04 script :)02:05
corecode_yes, true02:05
corecode_i'm a bit confused since it installed grub without issues02:06
corecode_after just selecting the menu item02:06
corecode_meh, stuck in running preseed02:06
corecode_great02:06
corecode_bed times02:07
corecode_thanks02:07
=== bladernr is now known as bladernr_
=== rgreening_ is now known as rgreening
corecode_hey19:20
corecode_is there a way to mount /target with different options, automatically?19:20
corecode_or maybe run a command after mount, but before download+install time?19:21
corecode_i'm seeing about tripple the installation duration compared to jaunty, so i'd like to mount ext4 with nobarrier,data=writeback19:21
corecode_http://pastie.org/94074320:36
corecode_any idea why this would happen?  WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed20:37
DASPRiDcjwatson, hey dude :)21:44
