[00:50] <wgrant> ScottK: Hi.
[00:51] <ScottK> Hello wgrant.
[00:51] <wgrant> ScottK: All the builders are back now.
[00:51] <wgrant> Hopefully for real this time.
[00:52] <ScottK> wgrant: Cool.  Would you please reply to that effect in ubuntu-devel?
[00:52] <wgrant> I didn't judge this to be critical, so I didn't invoke the incident process again. I should, however, have replied to the ubuntu-devel email.
[00:52] <wgrant> Will do so now.
[00:52] <ScottK> You might add that to the lessons learned in the report.
[01:17] <wgrant> Incident report updated, and it looks like fpc was the only misbuilt package this time.
[01:17]  * wgrant reuploads.
[01:56] <ScottK> Aha!
[01:57] <ScottK> "2011-02-27 00:42 James realises that he bounced the slave on ross and adare, which were both in auto and building at the time."
[01:57] <ScottK> No wonder my build restarted out of nowhere.
[02:03] <wgrant> ScottK: yeah, sorry about that. Although it was only 3 hours of qt4-x11 that was wasted.
[02:03] <ScottK> Stuff happens.
[02:03] <ScottK> I'm actually very glad to know why it happened.
[02:04] <ScottK> I was afraid of some kind of hard to reproduce soyuz bug.
[02:04] <wgrant> Fortunately not.
[02:05] <wgrant> Come on ross...
[02:19] <wgrant> Excellent, done.
[18:39] <hggdh> folks, yet another ISO issue: 726131
[18:39] <hggdh> bug 726131
[18:39] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 726131 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "alternate ISO: installation freezes when starting partman (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/726131
[18:55] <charlie-tca> I haven't gotten any install to work this week
[19:02] <hggdh> heh. I have been unable also. Even worse, I have been unable to recover my laptop
[19:04] <charlie-tca> Managed to keep my natty going, but no desktop or alternate installs all week for Ubuntu and Xubuntu
[19:04] <charlie-tca> and I don't get to partman, either, my alternate installs fails trying to mount the existing drives, for some reason.
[19:05] <charlie-tca> They insist there is no valid filesystems
[19:05] <charlie-tca> desktop just spins on "Preparing to install" ; choose download updates and 3rd party software. doesn't matter what I choose
[19:06] <hggdh> yes, this is what I have just found when I downloaded & tried the DVD
[19:06] <charlie-tca> Well, enough ranting. I am just really frustrated with the latest firefox now. ff4.0b12
[19:07] <hggdh> the install is hanging like on my bug
[19:07] <charlie-tca> this new bug or the other one?
[19:07] <hggdh> I wish I could be frustrated also on ffox...
[19:07] <charlie-tca> sorry
[19:07] <hggdh> this new bug, 726131
[19:07] <hggdh> right now I am running maverick on a laptop that would not install natty
[19:08] <charlie-tca> ouch
[19:08] <paultag> hey u-r. I'd like to request a FFe on Fluxbox, we have an upstream fix release. I'm working on pushing it to Debian as we speak. Who do I have to talk with?
[19:08] <charlie-tca> hggdh: you make me feel better
[19:09] <hggdh> charlie-tca: I am glad for that :-)
[19:09] <charlie-tca> If you try the install again, take a look at Alt+F4 for the messages.
[19:09] <hggdh> will do, when I get back
[19:10] <charlie-tca> I am still trying to figure out why it has to mount any existing filesystems
[20:18] <hggdh> charlie-tca: well, it has to find out what you have; I am not sure it is actually mounting the filesystems, but at least it has to look at the partition table
[20:19] <charlie-tca> Oh, I guess that does make sense
[20:19] <charlie-tca> but then, it looked like it hung because it could not determine anything about them
[20:19] <charlie-tca> and it stated they were not mountable
[20:20] <hggdh> might be, yes

[20:21] <hggdh> interesting is that on Hudson, using preseeds, it seems to work (at least for the server ISOs)
[20:21] <charlie-tca> weird
[20:21] <charlie-tca> I guess I just want images that work again.
[20:21] <hggdh> :-)
[20:22] <hggdh> hey
[20:23] <hggdh> I just replaced the HD with a brand new one (never used), and... it seems to be working
[20:23] <hggdh> now THAT is interesting
[20:23] <charlie-tca> Maybe it is a bug that refuses to partition if there are existing partitions in the system?
[20:23] <hggdh> sounds like, now
[20:24] <charlie-tca> both drives I use are partitioned already
[20:24] <charlie-tca> and VBox in natty is broken, too, waiting for the kernel
[20:28] <hggdh> I thought there was a bypass to vBox, all you needed was to set a soft link
[20:28] <charlie-tca> really?
[20:29] <hggdh> yeah, let me see if I find it
[20:29] <charlie-tca> well, let it be. It started in terminal this time. I give up
[20:30] <hggdh> sudo ln -s
[20:30] <hggdh> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-1-generic/include/generated/autoconf.h
[20:30] <hggdh> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-1-generic/include/linux/
[20:30] <hggdh> of course, change the kernel version
[20:30] <hggdh> an one single line
[20:31] <charlie-tca> Well, that's easy enough. thanks
[20:35] <hggdh> charlie-tca: what importasnce should we give to this bug (installation fails on partman)
[20:35] <hggdh> ?
[20:35] <hggdh> I set it as high, but I am starting to think it should be critical
[20:35] <charlie-tca> It has to be high at least, but if it is stopping all installs, it probably should be critical
[20:36] <charlie-tca> you want me to set it?
[20:36] <hggdh> yes, please. I am tainted, I opened it
[20:37] <charlie-tca> I can do that.
[20:38] <hggdh> sigh. Now it hangs, also, before (to my knowledge) any changes to the partition table
[20:39] <charlie-tca> That's where mine hang, too
[20:40] <charlie-tca> and, apparently, if we don't work together on these bugs, they tend to sit and stagnate
[20:41] <charlie-tca> That was on the new drive, too, right?
[20:41] <hggdh> correct. Still virgin
[20:42] <charlie-tca> shouldn't there be, like, about 5 of us testing these things, anyway?
[20:42] <hggdh> indeed
[20:42] <charlie-tca> I know jibel does it, and he keeps reporting a bug a day, too
[20:42] <hggdh> I know, for certain, of three ;-)
[20:44] <hggdh> yeah. I give up, also.
[20:44] <charlie-tca> hm, I guess that is enough, too :-)
[20:45] <hggdh> I will watch the superbike race
[20:45] <charlie-tca> Nascar sprint cup on FOX
[20:46] <hggdh> bah. Nascar.... boring ;-) bikes are more fun
[20:46] <charlie-tca> :-)
