alex88hi, how is possible to change kernel on the usb live created with "startup disk creator"?00:21
penguin42alex88: I think but am not sure that it contains an iso image, but I'm not sure if the kernel comes off hte iso image itself or not00:24
alex88the big file (2gb) that i think contains the fs of booted usb stick has a boot folder with the files.. but no grub inside00:25
alex88i've installed the 2 debs of new kernel but nothing changes00:25
penguin42alex88: In the top level directory what do you see?00:26
penguin42alex88: Do you see a syslinux.cfg and a ubninit and ubnkern?00:26
alex88normal things.. bin, boot, etc, lib00:26
penguin42no, not in that big file - in the top directory of the usb stick itself00:27
alex88oh..i have to reboot00:27
alex88you have 5 secs?00:27
penguin42yeh00:27
alex88thank you..brb00:27
alex88penguin42, ok..wait a sec00:30
penguin42alex88: Do you see a top level directory called casper?00:30
alex88sure00:30
penguin42alex88: OK, so I think the way it's wired up is it uses syslinux with the config files in syslinux/txt.cfg (and a load of other config files) and that tells it to use /casper/vmlinuz and /casper/initrd.lz00:31
alex88append noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true persistent file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash --00:31
alex88the line of txt.cfg00:32
penguin42yeh and the line before it00:32
alex88kernel /casper/vmlinuz right00:32
penguin42yeh00:32
alex88so...i've installed the kernel inside the disk image of the usb00:32
alex88now i should replace vmlinuz with new kernel one?00:33
penguin42yes, and the initrd - but I suspect the installer ones are made in a special way, but I don't know00:33
alex88initrd..where? outside image?00:34
penguin42in the /casper/initrd.lz that that casper line says00:34
alex88true..sorry..00:34
alex88mmhh..initrd that i find in?00:34
penguin42well when you isntalled the kernel it should have created a new initrd using update_initramfs00:35
penguin42update-initramfs00:35
alex88so it's inside atm00:35
alex88well i'll install on the vm and take it from there00:35
penguin42alex88: The thing is I don't think the boot loader knows how to poke inside the image, it's loading the kernel and initrd and leaving them to poke about in the image, but I bet it's not that easy00:36
alex88i know..but i have no other ideas00:36
penguin42alex88: I suspect there is special stuff in the installer initrd and I don't know the easiest way to recreate it00:36
alex88cause if i directly install ubuntu to usb then i can't install again on hdd00:37
alex88_sorry..disconnected00:38
alex88_Casper is what allows the Live System to perform hardware autoconfiguration and run from a live environment. Installing the Casper package will update the kernel's initrd to perform these tasks. The kernel that is installed into the chroot will be copied out from the chroot and put into the disk image00:40
alex88_going to reboot on usb..brb00:41

alex88[N95]Penguin42: kernel panic..00:46
penguin42alex88[N95]: Hehey! Is it just a can't mount rootfs one ?00:46
alex88[N95]Now i try to instal on usb and install casper package00:47
alex88[N95]Seems a can t load casper..00:48
alex88penguin42: probably this guide can help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch00:51
alex88what about installing ubiquity on the usb running system?00:54
alex88http://ww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1143095 if this is true..probably it will work00:55
Jordan_Ualex88: You're still trying to install Ubuntu on the system that can't detect your disks without a kernel patch?00:57
alex88Jordan_U: yes i am..is that so impossible?00:58
alex88i've compiled kernel, i have debs..now i need to install kernel on a usb and then back to hdd00:58
Jordan_Ualex88: What have you tried and what are you currently trying to do?00:58
alex88i've tried to replace the kernel of the usb stick created via the "startup disk creator"00:59
alex88fail cause casper initrd is different..00:59
alex88now i'm installing ubuntu directly to usb, then i'll change kernel on that (true installed ubuntu and not casper)00:59
alex88then if it see hdd i'll install ubiquity package, install on hdd, chroot in hdd and install kernel.01:00
alex88simplier way?01:00
Jordan_Ualex88: Do you have any data you need on the array currently?01:02
alex88yup..windows install and lot of work. else i've tried in another way for sure01:03
penguin42alex88: If I was doing this I'd get a spare hard drive, plug it into the other controller, install an ubuntu on there and try your new kernel out on it, rather than trying the new kernel for the 1st time in the installer01:03
alex88i'll try the new kernel on the ubuntu installed on usb..01:04
alex88slow but the same thing right?01:04
alex88i mean..if it see the hdd it will see also the installer01:05
penguin42yeh I think so01:06
alex88[N95]Rebooting on usb01:12
alex88[N95]I want usb3 drive...:)01:13
alex88[N95]Booting with new kernel..01:28

alex88[N95]It works!01:32
alex88[N95]now need to install on hdd..:)01:34
penguin42cool - can it see the disk01:35
alex88[N95]Yes it does. Now i m installing ubiquity.01:36
penguin42cool01:37
alex88[N95]I m on phone now.. What should i mount --bind after chroot?01:38
penguin42 /proc, /dev/ /dev/pts ?01:38
alex88[N95]I ve read smwhere you need proc and dev right?01:38
alex88[N95]Yup probably that ones..01:39
alex88[N95]What is the destination kernel for natty?01:40
yofelalex88[N95]: the UDS summery says 2.6.3801:44
alex88[N95]Uh nice so if the patch will be committed soon i can use live cd instead of this huge work.. Ty01:45
alex88[N95]*ty yofel01:45
yofelnp01:46
alex88[N95]Hard to check on phone...:)01:46
alex88[N95]Ok it s installing.. I ll have a shower.. Cya later01:51
alex88[N95]Crash.. O.o01:52
alex88penguin42: problem on install..this is syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/537308/02:02
alex88oh..looking at source """Core copy process. This is the most important step of this         stage. It clones live filesystem into a local partition in the         selected hard disk."""02:03
alex88so it search for /cdrom/casper/filesystem.size to get the filesystem size to copy into the hdd right?02:04
penguin42hmm not sure what that is - I don't know the insides of casper etc02:04
alex88http://paste.ubuntu.com/537309/ look at line 29802:05
alex88it's simple python.. probably the fs_size is required just to do the progress bar02:05
alex88it's used just for progress bar.. so i'm going to set a fixed value :)02:06
penguin42time for bed02:09
alex88gnight man02:09
penguin42alex88: If that's missing I'd be surprised if other stuff isn't missing as well02:09
alex88naa :)02:10
penguin42anyway, 2am and it's getting cold!02:10
alex883am here :)02:10
alex88can't go past install..fuck..02:22

alex88yeah sorry02:22
alex88i'll wait to the patch is done on the main kernel line then when the natty daily build use that02:23

jpdsOr use dget on the .dsc.13:52
penguin42Pulsewidth: See ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ and there is a linux_2.6.37-7.18.dsc13:55

Pulsewidthpenguin42, jpds: thanks13:55
alex88penguin42, sorry for annoying you..i've builded the livecd as written in that guide..but on boot it does kernel panic: /init line 238 can't open /scripts/casper14:01
alex88also kernel panic - nothingspecial syncing: Attempted to kill init!14:01
penguin42alex88: Yeh I don't know anything about casper I'm afraid - it's almost certainly that the initrd you are building is missing bits of casper; I think the panic is just the init giving up14:02
alex88yup..probably..14:02
alex88trying another way...the last..14:03

alkisgHi, is the current daily nutty CD installable? (as in, no major bugs in startup scripts / unity etc)?15:28
alkisg*ubiquity etc15:28
IdleOnealkisg: it's installable but it is definitely alpha15:35
IdleOnepre-alpha15:35
alkisgThank you IdleOne, downloading...15:35
IdleOneexpect bugs15:36
alkisg(no need for stability so early in the release :))15:36
IdleOnelots of them15:36
alkisgSure, np15:36
PiciAnt its 'natty' not 'nutty', although you maybe a bit nutty for trying to install it so early :P15:36
IdleOnehehe15:36
alkisgHehe15:36
* IdleOne has been nutty for natty for over a month already15:36
alkisgSorry guys non-native speaker here, I understood that when I tried to google for "download nutty daily build" :D15:36
BUGabundoIdleOne: don't be... its really bad15:42
alkisgI want to manually mount /target and tell ubiquity to use that for installation and not try to search for any devices, is that possible?16:06
alkisg(I'm trying to use an nbd mounted /target, but parted_devices just loops without ending)16:06
penguin42alkisg: If I ever do an install on an odd device I use something like debootstrap to get a basic installation going16:07
alkisgOuch. I also wanted to see the installation process in natty... Hmmm let me try some workarounds...16:08
alex88are there any problems with building kernel with -j for multithreaded compiling?16:17
penguin42no, works great16:18
alex88ok thank you..btw, i've abandoned the idea of making a custom live cd..16:19
alex88i'll wait the natty daily will take the patched kernel16:19
alex88i've tried also to insmod the compiled module from the newer kernel..no way..16:19
christian_lappyhe guys16:27
alex88hi man16:27
christian_lappyi just installed natty16:27
christian_lappybut where is the app menu ?16:27
alkisgpenguin42: thanks, I resorted to using a vbox virtual disk + rsync'ing /target to /nbd after the installation16:27
christian_lappyany ideas how i can start my apps beside the ones in the left bar and via alt+f2 ?16:28
alex88natty already switched to unity?16:29
christian_lappysorry for the super dumb question :(16:29
alex88christian_lappy: sorry but i'm not using natty atm16:29
christian_lappyisnt this chat for natty ?16:29
alex88yes it is..but i have no opportunity to use it atm16:29
christian_lappyah16:29
christian_lappyi installed it beside my 10.1016:30
alex88someone else will respond..but yes this is the right place16:30
christian_lappythanks !16:30
christian_lappya lot of crashy things, but thats expected ;-)16:31
alex88that's sure for a pre-alpha :)16:32
christian_lappybut only a few days until alpha :)16:32
alex88but you have the breeze of the bleeding edge :)16:32
christian_lappyyeah, im an early adoptor16:32
christian_lappyeverytime16:32
alex88yeah, but it's always an alpha :)16:32
christian_lappylol, for the next few month for sure16:33
christian_lappyanyway, its fr playing around..16:33
alex88me too.. :) for example now i have to get lastest kernel devel version to see my hdd :)16:33
christian_lappyhehe16:33
christian_lappylast time i upgraded 10.04 to 10.01 alpha ...16:33
christian_lappyand learned my lesson ;-)16:33
alex88before changing pc i started with a fresh 10.04 alpha install :) then never formatted :)16:34
christian_lappyhehe16:34
christian_lappythanks god the classic gnome interface is included also :)16:35
christian_lappymhhh..i really need a way to start my apps16:37
alex88best for me :)16:37
christian_lappyhehehe..panel->add menu :)16:38
christian_lappyand ehre it is16:38
christian_lappymhhh.how to add apps to the big left panel ??16:43
alex88drag&drop?16:44
christian_lappyalex88: nope :(16:50
alex88it's unity right?16:51
alex88oh..and open app -> right click-> something like keep this on tab?16:52
alkisgAh. No "unity" by default on natty yet?17:23
BUGabundoalkisg: yes17:25
BUGabundoit is17:25
IdleOneinstall the unity package and enable it in ccsm I believe17:25
BUGabundoluckly I defaulted it to Classic Desktop17:25
IdleOnesame here17:25
BUGabundoshame 3D and compiz are broken17:25
alkisgI thought the default would be the unity desktop, I also got the classic desktop...17:25
BUGabundologout17:26
BUGabundoand choose it17:26
alkisgAh, I see. OK, I will, just to try it - I still prefer the classic one... :)17:26
alkisgHmm I have "ubuntu desktop edition" as the default, and a "ubuntu classic desktop" as my other choice in gdm17:30
alkisgIs "ubuntu desktop edition" the unity interface? It looks the same as the old UI I've been using so far... :)17:30
alkisg(maybe some bug in gdm, I don't think it is)17:30
alkisgAh maybe compiz is needed for it to run, and there's no compiz in vbox. Trying in a real client...17:33
charlie-tcaalkisg, yes, default is unity with compiz now on the desktop. Classic should be gnome17:34
IdleOnecompiz being broken like BUGabundo pointed out makes it ugh17:46
IdleOneor maybe it's just 3d17:46
penguin42anyone running on intel graphics run glxgears and tell me if it gives a sane frame rate - it's claiming to be running tied to vblank but it's all over the place17:49
alkisgpenguin42: finally got unity working in 1 out of 3 PCs I've tried, glxgears gives 300 fps on that, with an intel card...18:11
yofelpenguin42: shows ~59 fps on my 945GME with kwin compositing turned off18:14
penguin42yofel: So what's odd is it's giving like 23fps - but I don't think that's because it's not using acceleration - there is very little CPU load18:41
nperryOdd, I swithced off my natty laptop a couple of days ago and looks like a safe-upgrade was stuck19:14
nperrySo running dpkg --configure -a however for the last 40mins its been stuck on Setting up xulrunner-1.9.2 (1.9.2.13+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2) ...19:15
nperryAny one else had this problem?19:15
yofelnperry: does running 'xulrunner-1.9.2 --gre-version' hang too?19:21
charlie-tcaso, I got this new video card, and now I got unity on the desktop. Isn't there a way to add things to that bar on the side?19:23
yofelnperry: that's bug 663294 I think, set GRE_VERSION to "1.9.2.13" in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xulrunner-1.9.2.postinst and run dpkg --configure -a19:25

charlie-tcaCan't run the app until I find in ???19:26
charlie-tcathere are no menus anymore with apps in them19:26
yofeloh er, I think someone managed to add a menu before, or use alt+f2?19:26
charlie-tcaI mean, Alt+F2, gnome-terminal gets me a terminal.19:26
charlie-tcabut this just seems wrong19:26
charlie-tcaWhat good is a GUI with nothing in it19:27
yofelI haven't ever tried unity myself yet, didn't run in kvm19:28
charlie-tcaIt is not fun! you get a launcher for firefox, empathy, tomboy, and workspace switching. Then you get to try and find the rest of the things you might want to use19:29
nperryyofel: /var/lib/dpkg/info/xulrunner-1.9.2.postinst: 5: /usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9.2.13: not found19:29
