[00:57] <corecode_> hey
[00:57] <corecode_> where could i find a current preseed example?
[00:57] <corecode_> the 10.04 docs are not up yet
[01:12] <persia> corecode_: Except for a few minor changes, the 9.10 docs are mostly correct.  Is something not working?
[01:12] <corecode_> i'm coming from 9.04
[01:13] <corecode_> just making sure
[01:17] <corecode_> i'm quite happy with our cluster installation system now, boots + installs ubuntu all automatically
[01:17] <corecode_> oh, the install colorscheme changed?
[01:17] <corecode_> at least via serial console
[01:19] <corecode_> aha, which question is "Write the changes to disk", title "[!!] Partition disks"
[01:19] <corecode_> that's not preseeded now
[01:19] <corecode_> what happened to libpam0g?
[01:21] <corecode_> i think my mirror is not in sync yet
[01:21] <corecode_> can that be?
[01:30] <persia> Possibly.  I still have libpam0g though, which means it might be something else.
[01:34] <corecode_> yes, now it worked
[01:34] <corecode_> d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
[01:35] <corecode_> that was the preseed question
[01:35] <persia> So it works now?
[01:35] <corecode_> up to now
[01:35] <corecode_> :)
[01:51] <corecode_> it feels like lucid takes longer to install than jaunty
[01:51] <corecode_> could be ext4 vs ext3
[01:52] <persia> Quite possibly, yes.  There's some annoyances that happen in certain circumstances with ext4 performance.
[01:53] <corecode_> sad.
[01:54] <corecode_> this is a quite beefy machine, 24 core 32gb, 1gbps network
[01:54] <corecode_> dunno about the disk tho
[01:54] <persia> You can always use ext3 if you like :)
[01:55] <corecode_> i'd rather not play with the lvm auto partitioner
[01:55] <corecode_> :)
[01:56] <corecode_> yea, definitely the file system
[01:56] <corecode_> ri1.8 took ~20 seconds or more to install
[02:03] <JanC> IIRC dpkg does a lot of sync'ing to disk, and ext4 doesn't like that
[02:03] <corecode_> i see
[02:03] <corecode_> maybe mount with nosync or so?
[02:04] <corecode_> i wonder if that is possible during install
[02:04] <JanC> it 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 automatically
[02:04] <corecode_> but now i selected the menu item and it works
[02:04] <persia> lucid switched to grub2
[02:04] <corecode_> strange
[02:05] <corecode_> so did karmic, no?
[02:05] <persia> Yes, but I thought you were basing off a 9.04 script :)
[02:05] <corecode_> yes, true
[02:06] <corecode_> i'm a bit confused since it installed grub without issues
[02:06] <corecode_> after just selecting the menu item
[02:06] <corecode_> meh, stuck in running preseed
[02:06] <corecode_> great
[02:07] <corecode_> bed times
[02:07] <corecode_> thanks
[19:20] <corecode_> hey
[19:20] <corecode_> is there a way to mount /target with different options, automatically?
[19:21] <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=writeback
[20:36] <corecode_> http://pastie.org/940743
[20:37] <corecode_> any idea why this would happen?  WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed
[21:44] <DASPRiD> cjwatson, hey dude :)
