| Ian_Daniher | Hey all, I'm trying to make a live USB key from a custom ubuntu-based .iso. I'm unable to get the usb-creator-gtk program to do respond to any button clicks or, connectedly, create a USB disk. | 03:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Ian_Daniher | using version 0.2.22 on a fresh Lucid install | 03:23 |
| Ian_Daniher | the ISO image I'm attempting to live-USB can be found here: http://teach.laptop.org/~it/USR-i386-20100208.iso | 03:23 |
| Ian_Daniher | Thanks! | 03:23 |
| Ian_Daniher | *and yes, I tried running usb-creator-gtk as root | 03:24 |
| ev | Ian_Daniher: don't run usb-creator-gtk as root, it's entirely unnecessary. It has a privileged process that it talks to over dbus for such tasks. | 08:56 |
| ev | Ian_Daniher: can you pastebin your ~/.usbcreator.log | 08:57 |
| davmor2 | ev: am I being a dipstick? How do I put the install into debug mode when I don't get the grub options in the first place | 10:36 |
| ev | davmor2: can you elaborate? Which grub options? Ubiquity or Wubi? | 10:39 |
| davmor2 | ev: so I've installed the windows side of wubi, I've rebooted windows, as soon as grub kicks in it drops into grub shell | 10:41 |
| davmor2 | ev: So normally I would select from the grub menu the debug option and carry on with the install but I don't have that option | 10:42 |
| ev | oh, hold down shift | 10:42 |
| the-dude | cjwatson: whats the status of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/218965 | 10:42 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 218965 in netcfg (Debian) (and 1 other project) "preseeding hostname doesn't work in a network install (affects: 1) (heat: 11)" [Unknown,New] | 10:42 |
| ev | before you get to grub | 10:43 |
| davmor2 | ev: nope tried that it's dropping straight into grub shell | 10:44 |
| ev | davmor2: can you go back into windows, edit the grub config under C:\Ubuntu to have 'set debug=all' at the top, then reboot. | 10:49 |
| davmor2 | that I can probably do. Need to reboot this machine biab | 10:50 |
| davmor2 | ev: okay so added the set debug=all at the top of C:\ubuntu\install\boot\grub\grub.cfg rebooted straight into grub shell again | 11:05 |
| ev | was it more verbose in its output though? | 11:07 |
| davmor2 | nope identical from what I can see. There is no disk started so no files logged so I don't know if I can get output from grub shell itself | 11:14 |
| ev | odd | 11:19 |
| davmor2 | I'm wondering if grub just can't find the disk and is just stopping dead | 11:23 |
| ev | what do you mean by, "there is no disk started"? | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | suggests that it isn't managing to read that grub.cfg | 11:26 |
| cjwatson | the-dude: not currently high on my list | 11:27 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: could be | 11:40 |
| the-dude | cjwatson: can I help in any way? | 11:43 |
| ev | davmor2: can you file a bug so we can track this? | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | the-dude: probably best to raise it on debian-boot, since it's a long-standing bug there too | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | see the linked Debian bug | 11:45 |
| davmor2 | ev: yeap | 11:46 |
| ev | davmor2: cheers | 11:46 |

| ev | thanks | 12:28 |
| cjwatson | ev: did you have a chance to look at bug 588705? it's still in the alpha-2 release notes, and we'll release with it, but I don't want to carry that note over too often | 12:32 |

| ev | cjwatson: no, I've been head-down in development mode. But as you suggest this is important, and I've marked it in my calendar to make sure I address it this/next week. | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 12:40 |
| the-dude | cjwatson: im going to rebuild initrd with the provided patch and see if that works | 12:40 |

| cjwatson | ev: you might be clear, I can't reproduce the encrypted home bug | 14:29 |
| cjwatson | (I ran out of stuff I could face doing, so tried it) | 14:30 |
| ev | heh, hooray | 14:30 |
| ev | I'll still give it a go, see if I can reproduce it | 14:31 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 14:31 |
