| ev | cjwatson: might I trouble you for your opinion on whether this is the approach you'd take: http://paste.ubuntu.com/573484/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/573486/ ? | 15:14 |
|---|---|---|
| ev | I suppose we could alternatively set a debconf question, but I'm worried about maintaining the state of that when things go wrong. | 15:14 |
| cjwatson | yeah, that seems OK to me | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | debconf questions aren't really good for per-partition state | 15:17 |
| ev | indeed | 15:17 |
| ev | awesome, thanks a bunch | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | is this related to bug 726131, btw? | 15:21 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 726131 in debian-installer "alternate ISO: installation freezes when starting partman" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/726131 | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | I haven't been able to reproduce that | 15:23 |
| ev | possibly. I'm trying to track it down, but my work environment is a bit of a mess, due to the partman-auto work. | 15:29 |
| ev | I've noticed we're not handling PartedServerError exceptions particularly well at the moment. I should probably fix that along the way. | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | ev: I guess you've seen the comments on bug 722198? looks like that bug should be reopened maybe | 15:31 |

| ev | ah, yikes | 16:20 |
| ev | sorry about that | 16:20 |
| ev | thanks for the quick fix as well | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | one of those errors whose symptoms are distant from its cause :-/ | 16:21 |
| cjwatson | anything more for partman-auto or should we upload this? | 16:21 |
| ev | by all means | 16:22 |

| CIA-3 | partman-target: evand * r915 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 71ubuntu2 | 16:37 |
| ev | ugh, I'd love to know why the reuse autopartition recipe ends up in partman/choose_partition | 18:02 |
| * ev digs further | 18:02 | |
| cjwatson | where's the source file? | 18:02 |
| ev | automatically_partition/reuse/{choices,do_option} | 18:09 |
| ev | cjwatson: unless I'm misunderstanding you. | 18:09 |
| ev | oddly it works in d-i the first time around | 18:10 |
| ev | subsequent attempts don't | 18:10 |
| CIA-3 | debian-installer: cjwatson * r1418 ubuntu/ (build/pkg-lists/base debian/changelog): Include biosdevname-udeb on architectures where it's available. | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | I think I may be misunderstanding you - what do you mean by "ends up in partman/choose_partition"? | 18:11 |
| stgraber | hmm, before I go dig in debconf, anyone knows why on natty I'm being prompted by d-i for keyboard layout information when console-setup/layoutcode is set in the kernel boot options ? | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | try keyboard-configuration/layoutcode instead | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | (still a bug though, it should handle either for migration) | 18:14 |
| stgraber | oh, changed name ? :) ok, will preseed both then | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | yes, I still haven't jumped up and down on Anton's head as much as I should about that | 18:15 |
| stgraber | hehe | 18:15 |
| ev | cjwatson: if I try the reuse option, I get to the partman confirmation dialog (in d-i), if I hit back, go through the autopartition options again selecting reuse once more, it gets wedged and asks partman/choose_partition along the way. | 18:16 |
| stgraber | hmm, now it's stuck in the d-i menu with "Configure the keyboard" selected. Pressing enter doesn't do anything (menu disappears and re-appears after a second) | 18:16 |
| cjwatson | ev: hm, I recommend DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer + set -x in /lib/partman/lib/base.sh | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | (DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer as a boot param, I mean) | 18:17 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: if you get me a case I can reproduce quickly in kvm, then I can have a look | 18:17 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: I'm simply booting with: preseed/url=http://www.stgraber.org/download/preseeds/vmmanager-edubuntu.seed debian-installer/locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us netcfg/get_hostname=edubuntu-natty01 netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=172.16.3.254 netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0 netcfg/get_gateway=172.16.3.1 netcfg/confirm_static=true netcfg/get_nameservers=8.8.8.8 netcfg/get_domain=ubuntu.com | 18:18 |
| stgraber | you shouldn't even need all the network stuff as it doesn't get that far | 18:18 |
| ev | cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/573576/ - is probably a better explanation, but indeed. I've been carefully placing set -x, will keep at it. | 18:19 |
| ev | (line 4056 is where I backed up to the menu) | 18:20 |
| cjwatson | ev: not sure of the exact sequence (dinnertime here), but it may be normal to ask partman/choose_partition | 18:21 |
| ev | oh | 18:21 |
| cjwatson | we sort of assume that if you back up from the confirmation question then you probably want more control | 18:21 |
| cjwatson | if it hangs then that isn't normal of course | 18:21 |
| ev | it doesn't hang, it just ends up with this http://people.canonical.com/~evand/tmp/madness.png | 18:22 |
| ev | but noted | 18:22 |
| cjwatson | that looks like the debconf protocol being out of sync, maybe | 18:22 |
| ev | hm | 18:23 |
| cjwatson | to debug that sort of thing I normally walk through DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer output from the last point at which it looked normal and verify sanity of the question/answer sequence | 18:23 |
| cjwatson | it can happen if non-debconf noise lands on stdout | 18:23 |
| cjwatson | though there are a couple of other possible causes | 18:23 |
| ev | ah, okay | 18:24 |
| ev | thanks | 18:24 |
| ev | will do | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: reproduced, will fix later tonight | 18:26 |

| brendand | anyone happen to know if the maverick desktop installer tries to configure DHCP at any point (maybe in the background?) like alternate? | 20:13 |
| cjwatson | brendand: we run nm-applet in the installer session, and that will normally try to bring up the network | 20:20 |
| brendand | cjwatson - my reference for the next question is another OS, but is it the case that if the ethernet link light isn't on then a driver hasn't been loaded? | 20:21 |
| cjwatson | I'm afraid I don't know offhand | 20:22 |
| brendand | cjwatson - cutting to the chase, we have a couple of systems that barf on DHCP config with alternate, but not desktop | 20:22 |
| brendand | cjwatson - the difference is no port activity in alternate | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | well, they are using entirely different software stacks ... | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | wireless encryption? | 20:23 |
| brendand | cjwatson - desktops. i assume they only have eth0 to go on | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | most likely then the driver is missing from d-i | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | file a bug on debian-installer in Ubuntu with details of what driver is used to drive the network card | 20:24 |
| cjwatson | it'll probably actually need to be fixed by the kernel guys | 20:24 |
| brendand | cjwatson - oh, by the way. was a bit of misinformation in my original question | 20:31 |
| brendand | cjwatson - it was *lucid* that is giving the problem | 20:31 |
| brendand | cjwatson - maverick is actually working fine | 20:32 |
| brendand | cjwatson - drivers missing make a lot of sense now | 20:32 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| brendand | cjwatson - bugs shall be raised... | 20:32 |
| cjwatson | ah, yeah, this is the sort of thing we often fix from release to release | 20:33 |
| cjwatson | I imagine it would be easily backportable for 10.04.3 | 20:33 |
| ev | ah ha! | 21:00 |
| ev | detected_filesystem doesn't always exist | 21:00 |
| ev | which is a bit strange | 21:04 |
