| CarlFK | subprocess.Popen(inst_composite, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) is that where you want subprocess.stderr ? | 00:41 |
|---|---|---|
| CarlFK | subprocess.Popen( [...], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE ) | 00:42 |
| CarlFK | out,err = p.communicate() | 00:43 |
| cjwatson | we've dealt with it | 00:43 |
| cjwatson | and no, that's not the right fix | 00:44 |
| cjwatson | it's better to have stdout go straight to stderr (stdout=sys.stderr) rather than having to handle all the output explicitly in ubiquity | 00:44 |
| CarlFK | ah - I thought... never rmind :) | 00:46 |

| StevenK | Whee, grub2 *and* GPT on this new machine, two things I have no clue about. | 09:29 |
| StevenK | I'm getting "This GPT partition lbale has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible" | 09:30 |
| StevenK | I suspect I have screwed something up, but I have no clue what. | 09:30 |
| cjwatson | StevenK: http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition | 09:41 |
| StevenK | cjwatson: Which, helpfully, is a 404. :-) | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | urgh | 09:50 |
| StevenK | cjwatson: Sorry. | 09:51 |
| cjwatson | unfortunately none of the current GRUB developers have admin access to the wiki | 09:51 |
| cjwatson | http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090613031004/http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition is sort of OK | 09:51 |
| cjwatson | guess I need to write some proper documentation on that for the texinfo manual | 09:52 |
| StevenK | cjwatson: So I've created /dev/sda[12] on the disks, but given that page I set the flag on the disk itself or the partition? | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | oh, wait, I kind of did | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | the partition | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall | 09:53 |
| StevenK | cjwatson: Why didn't d-i do this for me? | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Images | 09:54 |
| cjwatson | it should have done. if it didn't I want a bug with logs | 09:54 |
| StevenK | Bleh | 09:54 |
| StevenK | :-) | 09:54 |
| cjwatson | it definitely has code for it | 09:54 |
| StevenK | And parted /dev/sda1 bios_grub errors with "expecting a partition number" | 09:55 |
| cjwatson | oh, yeah, that old version of the page is wrong | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Images has the right rune | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | I should probably create a new section for that though | 09:56 |
| cjwatson | or http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition | 09:57 |
| StevenK | Heh | 09:59 |
| StevenK | Right, Grub installed, let's see if it boots | 09:59 |
| StevenK | ... and it reboots constantly. Awesome | 10:00 |
| cjwatson | I'm not going to be able to look right now, I'm afraid :-/ | 10:08 |
| cjwatson | if you can rescue-disk it and at least extract logs, that would be great | 10:08 |
| cjwatson | please tell me this isn't a Mac | 10:09 |

| cjwatson | ok, what was wrong? | 10:42 |
| StevenK | Partition 1 is the 100MB RAID1 /boot, which is helpfully marked as biosgrub, not raid | 10:43 |

| aliguori | Hi, I'm trying to automate a guest installation in QEMU. In an ideal world, it would work with just the standard ISO and no special network infrastructure | 15:40 |
| aliguori | I can get a guest booting based on the kernel/initrd in the ISO, I'm then trying to feed it a preseed | 15:40 |
| aliguori | I see two very strange things: 1) If I use a preseed/early_command to create a preseed file in the rootfs, and then use preseed/file to point to it, the installer still prompts for questions | 15:41 |
| aliguori | but curiously, if i pass a wrong file name, it throws an error, so it's doing somethign with it | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | can you extract a syslog from it? | 15:41 |
| aliguori | any other preseed action command doesn't do anything unless i have a preseed/file or preseed/url specified, so just adding "preseed/run" to the kernel command line, the run command never gets executed | 15:42 |
| aliguori | cjwatson, once interactive install kicks off, how can i get to a shell? | 15:42 |
| aliguori | (early_command does get run no matter if file or url is specified FWIW) | 15:42 |
| aliguori | fyi, the way i'm feeding in the preseed file is using early_command to read it from a the serial port | 15:43 |
| aliguori | ah, another VT | 15:44 |
| cjwatson | that's the easiest way yes | 15:44 |

| ev | cjwatson: mpt and I were sitting down to discuss redesigning the advanced partitioning page in ubiquity for O. I recalled you wrote this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/SoftwareRaid , but I wonder if the focus going forward should be on btrfs instead (as it supports raid like configurations and and seemingly all of the use case for LVM) | 16:09 |
| ev | what are your thoughts? | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | btrfs is too early to commit to it | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | there'd be significant risk of it just plain not working | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | bear it in mind, but it shouldn't be the design focus at the moment | 16:11 |
| ev | cjwatson: sure, I didn't mean we should commit to implementing that part of the design now | 16:17 |
| ev | but that the visual design for anything beyond what we already support should be of functionality provided in btrfs | 16:17 |
| ev | I guess it's of no matter as the interface for creating logical volumes would look the same no matter which implementation you choose | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | I'm not even sure anything like that in btrfs is stable | 16:18 |
| ev | indeed, but given our history with respect to implementing any advanced partitioning options, I suspect all of btrfs will be rock solid by the time we get around to adding support for logical volumes | 16:21 |
| ev | but as mentioned, I was wrong | 16:21 |
| ev | as presumably a logical volume is a logical volume, regardless if it's LVM or btrfs underneath | 16:21 |
| ev | as far as the visual design is concerned | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | a successful design would hopefully make it look that way for logical volumes, yes | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | I'm less sure you can do that for RAID | 16:22 |
| ev | mirroring and striping are terms in the btrfs vocabulary as well | 16:23 |
| ev | though as you suggest, they're still very much in development | 16:23 |
| ev | cjwatson: at any rate, are there specific things you'd like us to address in the redesign? | 16:26 |
| seb128 | hi | 16:26 |
| seb128 | bug #727726 is still an issue, should it be assigned to someone? | 16:27 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 727726 in ubiquity "ubiquity panel is about 4px instead of 30 on install" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/727726 | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | ev: as long as it's vaguely implementable in terms of partman-{lvm,raid} ... | 16:27 |
| seb128 | it means you don't see the icons in there by default if you don't know they are there | 16:27 |
| ev | cjwatson: but of course | 16:27 |
| ev | seb128: huh, I wonder what we're doing wrong there. | 16:28 |
| ev | I'll take it as it's my poor copy and paste job that got us here | 16:28 |
| ev | assigned | 16:29 |
| seb128 | ev, thanks | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | ev: I think pretty much all my thoughts on it should be in the old spec | 16:29 |
| seb128 | ev, btw I still get http://people.canonical.com/~seb128/ubi.png as well | 16:30 |
| ev | cjwatson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/AdvancedPartitionerRewrite ? | 16:30 |
| seb128 | is that a bug or not? | 16:30 |
| seb128 | ie used to have text on the right iirc? | 16:30 |
| ev | seb128: only if you have an internet connection (the release notes link) | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | ev: yeah, sounds right - syncing an image so my network is very very slow | 16:31 |
| seb128 | ev, ok, that's why then, so notabug, thanks ;-) | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | ev: looks like I meant https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/SoftwareRaid, that's more current | 16:31 |
| ev | sure thing | 16:31 |
| ev | okay | 16:32 |
| ev | mpt: ^ | 16:32 |
| mpt | ok | 16:33 |
| ev | huh, why can't I target this bug for natty I wonder https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/ubiquity/+bug/727726/+nominate | 16:33 |

| ev | oh | 16:44 |
| ev | heh | 16:44 |
| seb128 | ev, cjwatson: is the keyboard selector dialog in ubiquity supposed to have a layout selected on the right column? or does "no selection" means "default for the selected country"? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | it is supposed to have a variant selected on the right; I think there's a buglet there | 17:46 |
| seb128 | cjwatson, ok, it doesn't in french, I will check for open bugs and file one if there is none | 17:49 |
| cjwatson | I mean "it ought to have, but it currently does not" - English too | 17:49 |
| seb128 | cjwatson, btw I confirm that the odd xkb dialog being shown issue is fixed | 17:49 |
| cjwatson | good | 17:50 |
| seb128 | cjwatson, do you need a bug for the right list selection thing? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | yes please | 17:50 |
