[03:09] <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...
[03:10] <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.
[03:11] <jetole> oh p.s.: ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 server

[13:53] <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
[13:58] <cjwatson> you have 'd-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string max'; make that something else, e.g. 10G or 80%
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <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 ;)
[14:17] <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)
[14:19] <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)?
[14:20] <cjwatson> then I think autopartitioning will fail
[14:20] <cjwatson> I don't have anything better to offer you right now
[14:22] <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
[18:58] <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?
[19:25] <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?
[19:26] <ryanakca> I've had to revert wubi to revision 189 because of random build and install errors.
[19:28] <ryanakca> Would xivulon be the person to talk to?
[19:29] <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...
