bobbaSo I've made some changes to the installer and it says there is an "unrecoverable error" - how might I debug the installer to find out what it thinks went wrong?11:40
cjwatsonrun it with 'ubiquity -d' and look in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug11:42
bobbaahhh thanks :)11:42
bobbaalthough when running that it doesn't tell me there is a fatal error; it just does nothing from the desktop it booted me into11:43
bobbathe syslog isn't updated and the debug log file isn't created11:43
bobba:)11:44
bobbaoh, sorry, syslog does say something about pulseaudio failing to load which is surprising11:44
bobbathat appears to be unrelated though as it seems to be trying to load it independently of running the installer11:45
bobbaI've tracked the problem down to gksudo not working! It silently doesn't run the thing it's told to...11:58
bobbaFound it - just in case someone else has the same problem and asks in here, the problem is that when I copied the files in the ISO I didn't preserve the permissions, so things like su lost their setuid flag12:11
cjwatsonah yes, cp -a is important12:25
cjwatson(and run it as root)12:25
bobbaI'm now doing unsquash rather than mount + cp :) Slightly safer in my mind ;)12:25
cjwatsonshouldn't be much difference12:28
cjwatsonif the kernel's squashfs driver misinterprets the filesystem then you have bigger problems12:28
bobbawell it worked :) Fantastic cjwatson - thank you so much12:29
cjwatsonyou're welcome12:29
bobbaext3 was the default on installation :)12:29

ubot2Launchpad bug 634664 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Updates not installed when selected and internet is available (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 16)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/63466413:18
evthe intended behavior is that it downloads updates, but does not install them13:39
cjwatsonev: bug 651112 looks nasty, I thought we'd squashed bugs of the form "installed to external disk but it put the bootloader on the internal disk"16:21
ubot2Launchpad bug 651112 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "External hard drive install won't boot (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65111216:21
evindeed, and I've been struggling to reproduce/fix this16:21
evI have a patch that may go some way towards fixing it, that I need to polish to account for (hd0) style names16:22
evI'll do that shortly16:22
CIA-28debian-installer: cjwatson * r1367 ubuntu/ (4 files in 2 dirs): Add input, NIC, and NFS modules to armel netboot images (LP: #652522).16:33
davmor2cjwatson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/651084 I think I know what the issue is here, without the network connect wubi can't download the iso it need to install.16:46
ubot2Launchpad bug 651084 in wubi "Maverick Wubi fails to install when no network is present. (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [High,Incomplete]16:46
cjwatsonbut it should be using the USB stick not downloading an image.16:46
cjwatsonI expect that the Windows code is failing to find the USB stick16:47
davmor2cjwatson: Ah that sounds plausible :)16:47
