| jetole | cjwatson: No. I am not missing 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true' but I have posted it on pastebin again and set it for a month to retain it. http://pastebin.org/567042 | 03:09 |

| jetole | to anyone who missed my original post who can help... | 03:09 |
| jetole | Hey guys. I am using preseeding and am being prompted: "Before the Logical Volume Manager can be configured, the current partitioning scheme has to be written to disk." and some more info before it asks me yes/no, Write the changes to disks and configure LVM. I don't know what I am missing but here is my preseed file if anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it. http://pastebin.org/567042 | 03:10 |
| jetole | Also, here is a screen shot: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9619AZONnimO1hyMSLdA-g?feat=directlink | 03:10 |
| jetole | Thanks in advance for any help. | 03:10 |
| jetole | oh p.s.: ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 server | 03:11 |

| joschi | hi! | 13:53 |
| joschi | how can I tell partman during a preseeded installation to not use the whole space of lvm volume group? | 13:53 |
| joschi | my current recipe is here: http://pastie.org/private/rqwziqko4h0ipqrtnggjpa | 13:53 |
| joschi | unfortunately partman makes the last LV (/var/lib/mysql) as big as possible, ie. consumes all remaining space in the volume group | 13:53 |
| cjwatson | you have 'd-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string max'; make that something else, e.g. 10G or 80% | 13:58 |
| joschi | cjwatson: ok, but that's possible but not what I want. I should create the volume group to span the whole disk but not create the logical volumes to span the whole VG | 14:14 |
| joschi | cjwatson: this would also have some problems with hard disks of different sizes. I don't want to spare always 10G or 80% of the hard drive, but just the remaining space | 14:15 |
| joschi | cjwatson: but basically it was a good try. thx ;) | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | joschi: what I suggested causes the VG to span the whole disk but the LVs not to span the whole VG. If you want something else then you need to be clearer. | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | (and there likely isn't anything better) | 14:17 |
| joschi | cjwatson: oh, thx. I didn't know that. but what happens when the disk is exactly as big as the defined partitions/LVs and I have guided_size == 80% (just an example)? | 14:19 |
| cjwatson | then I think autopartitioning will fail | 14:20 |
| cjwatson | I don't have anything better to offer you right now | 14:20 |
| joschi | too bad. that's something I found way better with FAI's setup-storage script. unfortunately partman IMHO is a bit under-documented. guess I have to play around with the preseed file a little bit more. thx again, cjwatson | 14:22 |
| rickabillie | When I try to use the startup disk creator, it always fails on 47%. 4gig mem stick, edubuntu (md5checked) tried using the live dvd startup dik creater also, same result, anyone have an idea of what to try next? | 18:58 |
| ryanakca | I'm modifying a LiveCD for work. Wubi appears to copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive, but upon boot from the HD, fails to call ubiquity / whatever installer to finish the installation. The end product is that I have a system that is identical to my LiveCD. How can I fix this? | 19:25 |
| ryanakca | I've had to revert wubi to revision 189 because of random build and install errors. | 19:26 |
| ryanakca | Would xivulon be the person to talk to? | 19:28 |
| cjwatson | probably, if you can find him | 19:29 |
| ryanakca | cjwatson: Thanks | 19:29 |
| ryanakca | Also, http://people.canonical.com/~scott/daily-installer/ doesn't appear to have been updated in a while... | 19:29 |
