| ara | good morning all! | 07:56 |
|---|---|---|
| ara | mvo, morning! | 08:13 |
| mvo | hey ara, good morning | 08:23 |
| ara | hey mvo, upgrading question: O:-) | 08:39 |
| mvo | ara: sure | 08:40 |
| ara | mvo, yesterday, I upgraded a mini9 running UNE (i had just installed it, so very clean) to 10.10 (Unity) and it took 6 hours! | 08:40 |
| ara | is that normal? | 08:40 |
| ara | well, a mini9 does not have a core i7, but still... | 08:41 |
| mvo | 6h - woah | 08:41 |
| mvo | that is a *long* time | 08:41 |
| mvo | ara: most of this time was dpkg running, I assume? not the download? | 08:42 |
| ara | yes, and it wasn't downloading time, I promise :-) | 08:42 |
| ara | mvo, :D | 08:42 |
| ara | mvo, dpkg running | 08:42 |
| mvo | I have one atom machine that I can test today and debug | 08:42 |
| mvo | ara: how much memory? 1gb I assume? | 08:42 |
| ara | yes | 08:42 |
| mvo | ssd ? or normal hdd? | 08:43 |
| ara | hdd | 08:43 |
| mvo | thanks :) | 08:43 |
| mvo | that should be enough info so that I can reproduce | 08:44 |
| ara | mmm, maybe ssd, let me double check | 08:44 |
| ara | mvo, do you want me to file a bug so you can track progress? | 08:44 |
| mvo | please | 08:44 |
| ara | against update-manager? | 08:44 |
| mvo | yes | 08:44 |
| mvo | if ssd it would be even more disturbing, but my first guess would be that its hitting swap a lot | 08:44 |
| jibel | ara, is it slow if you simply use dpkg ? | 08:45 |
| jibel | ara, which type of fs ? | 08:45 |
| mvo | good morning jibel | 08:46 |
| jibel | good morning mvo ! how are you ? | 08:47 |
| ara | jibel, ext4 | 08:47 |
| mvo | jibel: good, thanks! how are you? crazy amounts of sru? a bit more quiet? I think I got most of software-center ready now, I'm quite happy about that | 08:49 |
| jibel | mvo, pitti is busy on other things, so that's rather quiet :-) | 08:50 |
| mvo | ara: perfect timming btw, I got a spare notebook hdd just yesterday for this kind of testing | 08:50 |
| mvo | jibel: haha :) | 08:50 |
| mvo | jibel: excellent, we should keep him busy | 08:50 |
| ara | mvo, nice :) | 08:50 |
| ara | mvo, it is an SSD | 08:55 |
| jibel | ara, that's probably bug 570805 | 09:00 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 570805 in dpkg (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 3 other projects) "[regression] dpkg's fsync causes massive regression in Ubuntu Server and Alternate installation times (affects: 18) (dups: 1) (heat: 154)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/570805 | 09:00 |
| jibel | ara, but this was fixed by changing to a global sync, so 6h is way too much. | 09:01 |
| ara | jibel, yes, but I didn't update Lucid before upgrading | 09:02 |
| ara | mvo, bug 646638 | 09:02 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 646638 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Upgrading from UNE 10.04 to 10.10 (Unity) took about 6 hours (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/646638 | 09:02 |
| jibel | ara, oh. what was the version of dpkg before the upgrade ? | 09:02 |
| ara | jibel, might be | 09:02 |
| ara | jibel, I don't know | 09:02 |
| ara | jibel, but it is stocked 10.04.1, so we can see on the release notes | 09:03 |
| ara | jibel, if it is previous that one, I will try again | 09:03 |
| ara | today updating before | 09:03 |
| jibel | ara, it was dpkg 1.15.5.6ubuntu4 | 09:04 |
| jibel | ara, and the fix is in dpkg 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.1 | 09:04 |
| jibel | ara, are you able to install 10.04.1, upgrade dpkg to 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.1 or 4.3 and upgrade to maverick ? | 09:05 |
| ara | jibel, yes, I will do that today | 09:05 |
| jibel | ara, that's weird that 1.15.5.6ubuntu4 was installed with 10.04.1 because 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.1 is on the iso (at least desktop-i386) | 09:11 |
| ara | jibel, mvo: I am trying again, but now, I have the latest dpkg (I only updated that package) and it is still very slow (it says 7 hours remaining...) | 11:48 |
| ara | is there any other package I should update? | 11:49 |
| jibel | ara, I don't think of any. Can you add the output of dmesg to your report ? | 11:51 |
| ara | jibel, sure, one it finishes I will | 11:51 |
| ara | (in about 5 hours) :D | 11:51 |
| jibel | ara, what's interesting is how the current kernel sees your drive and fs, so save the output before rebooting. You confirm that you use ext4 and not btrfs ? | 11:54 |
| ara | ext4 | 11:54 |
| jibel | ara, so lets wait for 5 hours :) | 11:54 |
