[02:41] <svdasein> I'm having some trouble seeing past the initrd load when installing via a serial console - does anyone here have experience w/ that or know a better form to ask in?

[09:49] <ara> ev, hey!
[09:49] <ara> have you guys made any changes to the way we preseed the live cd in natty lately?
[09:50] <ara> we are getting some issues when running our preseeded installations
[09:50] <ara> we still need to get the logs to see what's going on
[09:50] <ara> but I thought I might ask as well to see if there was something new
[09:56] <cjwatson> ev may be able to, but personally I can't think of any deliberate changes that haven't had compatibility code inserted to preserve old preseed files
[10:02] <ara> mmm, OK, we will try to get the logs to see what's going on
[10:25] <ev> ara: nope
[10:25] <ev> cjwatson: will do now
[12:46] <cjwatson> ev: I think you said you were going to follow up to bug 691671?
[12:46] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 691671 in ubiquity "Incomplete sentence during install check" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/691671
[12:49] <cjwatson> ev: you said you were going to fix bug 684052 too
[12:49] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 684052 in ubiquity "live CD does not have reboot on the power menu after install completes" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/684052
[12:52] <ev> replied to 691671, looking into 684052 again now
[12:52] <ev> thanks
[13:03] <cjwatson> All our d-i branches except for debian-installer itself are now rebased on top of git.  I suggest shelving any changes you have before updating, and you may well find that you need to do something like 'bzr revert; bzr clean-tree --force' after updating.
[13:03] <cjwatson> If you have any non-trivial branches you care about merging into our current trunk, then let me know and I can supply you with rebased versions.
[13:04] <ev> nice, thanks for sorting that
[13:05] <cjwatson> I'm also in the process of pushing up git mirrors of those so that the d-i team can cherry-pick from them
[13:06] <cjwatson> Obviously you'll need to reget any upstream branches you have; lp:<foo> should work for everything we've imported
[13:06] <cjwatson> Or you can 'bzr get git://git.debian.org/d-i/<foo>' if you have bzr-git installed
[13:06] <ev> okay
[14:43] <CIA-47> wubi: evand * r191 lucid/ (data/isolist.ini debian/changelog): Bump Ubuntu and Kubuntu to 10.04.2.
[14:59] <ev> phew, wubi 10.04.2 up.  Building a chroot and installing dependencies takes way too long on a t-mobile 3g dongle.
[17:31] <pmatulis> during a server install (normal mode) is it possible to install grub manually by flipping to a console?  grub-installer is there but not grub-install
[17:33] <cjwatson> you can bind-mount /dev, /proc, and /sys into /target, chroot to /target, and run grub-install in the chroot
[17:33] <cjwatson> grub-installer is definitely not what you want
[17:36] <pmatulis> right, thx
