[11:17] <dmarkey_> hm i'm supplying d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext3 on the kernel command line, but it doesnt seem to take effect
[11:17] <dmarkey_> does it have to be in quotes?
[11:19] <cjwatson> no
[11:19] <cjwatson> partman/default_filesystem=ext3
[11:19] <dmarkey_> ahh
[11:19] <dmarkey_> thanks
[14:33] <ircleuser1> Hi my install stops at 33% partition any ideas?
[14:36] <ircleuser1> anyone else have a 33% partition crash?
[14:51] <ircleuser1> Hi
[14:51] <ircleuser1> can i ahve an  installation problem witht the partitioner
[15:07] <ircleuser1> I can't install lucid on my pc its crashes at the partitioner. Alternate CD is fine and memory also good, Hd is new any ideas?
[17:55] <the-dude> any idea why a lucid network install takes 5-6 times longer then a jaunty/karmic installation?
[17:55] <cjwatson> probably dpkg's use of fsync; this is known and should be fixed in 10.0.41
[17:55] <cjwatson> 10.04.1
[17:55] <cjwatson> workaround: partman/default_filesystem=ext3
[17:56] <the-dude> ah thought so :)
[17:57] <the-dude> I was the only difference I could think of
[17:58] <the-dude> cjwatson: do you have any experiance with preseed files and partman?
[18:00] <cjwatson> yes, I wrote a fairly significant part of the code
[18:00] <cjwatson> doesn't necessarily mean I can fix your problem right now since I'm about to hit end-of-week, but you can always ask
[18:01] <the-dude> Im not sure how I can use custom partitions, and would it be possible to use a certen % of the disk?
[18:06] <the-dude> and I don't understand syntax, or is works like I don't expect it too
[18:06] <cjwatson> you should probably start with https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html and http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/debian-installer/ubuntu/annotate/head:/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt
[18:10] <the-dude> I used jaunty/karmic but both did not work as I expected
[18:10] <cjwatson> ok, I probably won't be able to help you today, maybe Monday if that's soon enough
[18:10] <the-dude> 500 10000 1000000 ext3
[18:11] <the-dude> cjwatson: is it ok if I give you a ping next week?
[18:11] <cjwatson> sure
[18:12] <cjwatson> oh, wait, sorry, Tuesday
[18:12] <cjwatson> Monday's a bank holiday here
[18:29] <the-dude> cjwatson: sure enjoy your weekend :)
