shtylmansome serious sadness happened when I tried to install onto my dmraid disk setup this weekend... /boot was etc4 and / was btrfs16:49
shtylmanmy thinking is that after the system booted it didn't have btrfs things loaded and could not find / cause /dev/mapper/..etc didn't exist16:50
shtylmanI am thinking to just put /boot on another drive, undo the dmraid thing, and just use btrfs built in raid16:50
PrimedeathAnyone know if there's a way to create a USB installation of 10.10 in Windows?16:54
* holstein uses http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/16:56
PrimedeathPersistent?16:57
holsteinim sure there is a way16:57
holsteinyou could also use a live CD16:58
holsteinand install to a USB drive16:58
PrimedeathDon't have a CD. >_<16:58
holsteinBEING catious of where grub is installing16:58
PrimedeathI am on the school computers at the moment, volunteering, and I am getting annoyed by having to reinstall everything.16:58
holsteintry checking out http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download16:59
holsteinall the options16:59
davmor2Primedeath: Ah your limited then, I was going to suggest an iso mounter17:00
PrimedeathHmmm.17:00
PrimedeathThere is one computer without DeepFreeze enabled.17:00
holsteinAFAIK you can make USB sticks from the live CD17:01
holsteinmaybe you can just go to another box for a bit17:01
holsteinand boot a CD17:01
PrimedeathBah.17:04
PrimedeathBack.17:04
PrimedeathIf only I could remove Deep Freeze on this computer.17:06
PrimedeathSo, hm... If only I had another USB Drive.17:09
cjwatsonthere's a usb-creator.exe on the image17:10
cjwatsonhm, maybe there isn't.  there used to be17:10
davmor2cjwatson: I couldn't see it on natty iso is there a ppa or something with it in though?17:11
cjwatsondoubt it.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick has some helpful links17:11
cjwatsonI suspect it was broken17:11
PrimedeathThere are installers for older versions of Ubuntu, I just want the latest version. Heh.17:14
PrimedeathYawn.17:21
CIA-4console-setup: cjwatson * r156 ubuntu/debian/ (3 files):17:23
CIA-4console-setup: Exit cleanly from initramfs hook if /etc/default/console-setup doesn't17:23
CIA-4console-setup: exist for some reason (LP: #634402).17:23
cjwatsonactually, the 10.10 desktop CD has usb-creator.exe on it17:33
cjwatsonev: could you arrange for http://people.canonical.com/~evand/usb-creator/natty/ to exist?  that's the only reason usb-creator isn't on natty CDs17:34
cjwatsonPrimedeath: you should find usb-creator.exe in the root of the 10.10 CD filesystem.  Try it17:35
superm1cjwatson, are you sure that reading the amount of ram from /sys/firmware/memmap/* gets an accurate number?  just as a quick test on my box: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532475/17:38
cjwatsonsuperm1: should come straight from DMI17:39
superm1and to confuse things further, the old dmi-available-memory binary is getting a different number too17:39
superm1$ sudo ./usr/lib/base-installer/dmi-available-memory17:39
superm1419430417:39
cjwatsonwhat should the number be on that system?17:40
superm1lemme reboot and double check from the firmware.  i think 4 gigs17:40
cjwatsonMemTotal in /proc/meminfo isn't authoritative17:40
cjwatsonthat's just how much memory the kernel can currently manage to use17:40
superm1looks like 2 2gig dims, firmware says 4096 MB installed and 3960 MB available17:45
cjwatsonthe number from memmap seems plausible then17:46
cjwatsononly interested in the available count17:46
superm1it's a factor of a gig too large though isn't it?17:46
cjwatsonoh, I misread your test script17:47
superm1i just snipped it out of partman-auto or so17:47
cjwatsoncan I have a tarball of /sys/firmware/memmap17:47
cjwatson?17:47
superm1sure17:47
superm1http://people.ubuntu.com/~superm1/memmap.tar.gz17:49
cjwatsonah, ok, bug in that it fails to subtract the start address17:53
cjwatsonactually, well, sort of17:53
cjwatsonI copied that from base-installer, whose test is simply "is there RAM above 4GB?"17:54
cjwatsonand in your case there is - but the partman-auto test needs to be subtler because it actually needs to know how much, minus holes17:54
cjwatsoncould you file a bug on partman-auto and attach that memmap.tar.gz?  thanks17:54
superm1sure17:54
PrimedeathApparently Universal USB Installer has a Persistent file it can make3.17:58
PrimedeathGoing to have to try it.17:58
cjwatsonsuperm1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532491/ should be better17:58
cjwatsonbut I have to run now17:58
PrimedeathPenDriveLinux that is.17:58
superm1cjwatson, yeah that gets it a lot better.  shows as 4150 for that18:00
cjwatsonand remember that's decimal megabytes18:01
cjwatsonthe raw number that gives is 4150219776 bytes, which is 3958 * 1024 * 102418:01
superm1oh right, so yeah that's dead on18:01
cjwatson(decimal because of disk manufacturers' marketing tricks)18:02
superm1awesome,18:02
superm1thanks18:02
