TeacherTomLHi everyone.  I am having a problem installing xmms because it requires GLib (says GLib 1.2.2 in the error message.)  I can't for the life of me find anyplace to download GLib.  GTK, yes, but not the subset GLib.  Any suggestions?02:02
cjwatsonTeacherTomL: this channel is about initial installation rather than installing various packages - suggest you try #ubuntu02:11

TeacherTomLThanks cjwatson.  I will do that.02:25

* ogra struggles with bug 61658113:37
ubot2Launchpad bug 616581 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "oem-config fails to run (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 459)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61658113:37
ograif os.path.exists('/usr/bin/xfsettingsd'): .... why the heck would it fail on the next line, xfsettingsd is nonexistent on the images so the condition is false13:40
ogra(i.e. it shouldnt be executed so shouldnt fai)13:42
cjwatsonif it's an out-of-memory error, then you might just be tweaking something essentially random13:42
ograthe system has 512M13:42
ograi dont think its OOM (and i cant see any indication for that in dmesg)13:44
cjwatsonconsider that there may be multiple different problems reported by different people in this bug13:44
cjwatsonwhich is why I'm always endlessly going on about different people filing different bugs13:44
cjwatsonthe crash reported by Tobin is here:13:44
cjwatson                extras.append(subprocess.Popen(13:44
cjwatson                    ['/usr/lib/ubiquity/panel'],13:44
cjwatson                    stdin=null, stdout=logfile, stderr=logfile,13:44
cjwatson                    **maybe_drop_privileges))13:44
ograright, we all get the same crash currently13:44
ograif i comment that part of ubiquity-dm it fails on the next if clause13:45
ograif i comment that one too, all works fine13:45
ogra(as i described in the last comment)13:45
cjwatsontry 'file /usr/lib/ubiquity/panel'13:46
cjwatsonif that looks wrong, consider the possibility that it might be some underlying facility that's buggy, such as the fs returning wrong data13:46
ograi have to use a new image first, the one i'm using already removed oem-config13:46
ograyeah, thats something i was suspecting13:47
ograespecially since i get e2fsck errors under that kernel, but no fsck errors at all if i run it on a virgin image on any other HW13:47
cjwatsonrandom ENOEXEC errors are usually a sign of something below the application layer going wrong, unless the executable file in question really is toast13:48
ograwell, we got that new toolchain after the sprint so i'm a bit careful if i see NOEXEC now13:49
ogracould always be a broken binary13:49
cjwatsonoh13:51
cjwatsonlp_archive@cocoplum:~/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubiquity$ dpkg -c ubiquity-frontend-gtk_2.3.7_all.deb | grep panel13:51
cjwatson-rwxr-xr-x root/root      9660 2010-08-15 09:17 ./usr/lib/ubiquity/panel13:51
cjwatsonthere are three very important bad letters there13:51
cjwatsonor maybe this is clearer13:52
cjwatsonE: ubiquity-frontend-gtk: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/lib/ubiquity/panel13:52
ograawww13:52
ograwell, that explains the second issue, but not why the xfsettingsd lines are executed13:53
cjwatsonseparate bug report if it's still reproducible after this13:54
ograthanks a lot for the help, i would never have thought of such an issue13:58
cjwatsonI'm working on a fix, just will take a while to build14:01
ryanakcaI'm modifying a LiveCD for work (the local university), it'll be distributed to all of the CS students / used as the image for our labs, so this has a rather high priority on my end: Wubi successfully copies the contents of the CD to the hard drive, but when it boots from the HD, ubiquity / whichever installer doesn't get called to finish the installation. The end product is a system identical to my LiveCD. How can I fix this? I've ...14:25
ryanakca... had to revert to revision 189 because of random build and install errors.14:25
ryanakcaI've been meaning to speak with xivulon, but he's been away for the past few days. Is there anybody else I can talk to regarding it?14:25
ryanakcaBRB, kernel upgrade requires a reboot.14:27
