cjwatsonev: could you have a look at bug 768105?08:43
ubot2Launchpad bug 768105 in ubiquity "Not able to install using the latest Live CD" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/76810508:43
evcjwatson: oh, awesome thanks09:16
evlooking now09:17
evcjwatson: I don't know why it's not showing up in the logs, but that definitely is the missing import bug09:18
evubiquity 2.6.6 would not display the partitioning page because of it09:19
evso it would jump straight to timezone and so on09:19
cjwatsonmkay, I was just wondering about the weird m-a errors that showed up in the lolg09:20
cjwatson*log09:20
cjwatsonI guess that's because it isn't getting any input from partitioning?09:20
cjwatson.oO( we should have some way for plugins to mark themselves as fail-whole-installer-if-they-fail, or something )09:21
evthe permission denied ones?09:21
cjwatsonyeah09:21
evI've seen that somewhere else yesterday09:21
evbut it doesn't make much sense, given the loop body that's associated with09:21
cjwatsonI didn't see anything obvious there either09:22
cjwatsonoh well, if you think it's the missing import bug we can just close it09:22
cjwatsoncan I draw your attention to slangasek's question in #-release too ...09:22
evmarking themselves as failing> there used to be a test in the harness for pages just not loading.  I'd like to resurrect this.09:25
evmind you, it doesn't completely solve the problem09:25
evbut it would have caught this09:25

Kurisutiancjwatson: Hi! How is it? Did those logfiles help with finding out what's going wrong on the server install?11:37
cjwatsonKurisutian: I backported the patch that phcoder applied upstream after your questions on #grub; that should help11:40
cjwatsonKurisutian: try today's server install CD?11:40
Kurisutiancjwatson: Thank you very much for that. Unfortunately I can't access the servers today since university is closed today due to easter holyday.... I will download a daily build next week and get back to you if that is fine with you, too...11:43
cjwatsonsure11:48
cjwatson(though any changes will probably have to be post-release updates at this point, or oneiric if they're installer problems)11:48
Kurisutiancjwatson: Well as long as I could help with the problem. May I ask what the cause was of this trouble I experienced? I'm just asking out of curiosity since I have not find a way to install at all with the given options... ;-)11:57
cjwatsonKurisutian: phcoder (upstream) said that your btrfs filesystem used "huge chunks"12:16
cjwatsonwhich weren't supported by GRUB's btrfs code12:16
cjwatsonKurisutian: I can't say for sure that this is the same thing12:16
cjwatsonit may still break12:16
cjwatsonbut I don't have time to cram any more patches for it into 11.04, so if it's broken, we'll have to work it out in 11.10 and you should use a more stable filesystem in the meantime12:17
Kurisutiancjwatson: that's strange because I only used the plain ubuntu-server install cds to create the btrfs filesystem.... the other distro was not ubuntu.....12:17
cjwatsonthen I don't know12:17
cjwatsonsorry, may not be fixed then.12:17
Kurisutiancjwatson: Is there a way to migrate from ext4 which works fine during installation to btrfs? I mean will that work like it does on my other distro? So I might be able to use it that way.... I'd use ext4 if it wasn't for the snapshots that come in handy because of what our project with the server does....12:19
cjwatsonI have no idea12:19
cjwatsonyou could use LVM12:19
Kurisutiancjwatson: I'll take a look at it. We might have to go back to ext4 and aufs (http://aufs.sf.net) till we can upgrade.... the snapshots should be used to create different layers for mounting a variety of different settings on top of a existing general ubuntu installation. This is how we're creating a PXE TFTP Netboot environment.... unfortunately the default ubuntu kernel misses on a certain option so I have to12:25
Kurisutianmanually compile a kernel for AUFS... that's why we wanted to switch to btrfs also.... but hey, thank you very much for helping, I really appreciate it a lot! :-)12:25
davmor2ev, cjwatson: does ubiquity now include the ability to install the binary drivers from the web for unity to work out of the box?12:27
evdavmor2: yes12:27
evcheck the 3rd party software box12:27
evwhich will tell jockey to install the nvidia driver if it's present12:28
davmor2ev: cool,  I'm looking to do an install on this box over the long weekend in order to get rid of the cruft on it,  starting to become unbearably slow12:29
cjwatsonKurisutian: sorry I couldn't do better, but we've just run out of time12:31
Kurisutiancjwatson: Don't be sorry about that. I'm not blaming you at all. As a matter of fact I really appreciate you being so supportive in here and giving your best to help. I think that's awesome! Besides that, we've been running the system on aufs before and can always fall back to that.... so no worry... ;-)12:33

maxbDoes anyone know of a way, in preseeding, to trigger an upgrade of all packages before the debian-installer run ends?17:08
maxbpkgsel/upgrade is unfortunately not useful, as its upgrade step seems to operate before the final apt configuration has been installed, so it misses bits.17:08
cjwatsonmaxb: preseed/late_command?17:27
maxbI had a go - I was hoping someone had tried it - the upgrade hung during cups-bsd prerm, invoking update-inetd17:28
cjwatsonev: shouldn't we have set show_alpha_warning back to false?17:30

mterryHello!  I just downloaded a nightly daily-live iso and tried installing, but never got a question about where to install Ubuntu.  And now I'm being shown a slideshow but no progress bar...17:31
mterryev, is that normal?  ^17:32
evmterry: known issue17:32
evit will be fixed in the next daily-live CD17:32
mterryah k17:32
ev(basically, ubi-partman crashed)17:33
mterryev, thanks!17:33
evin the meantime, you can probably just upgrade the copy of ubiquity on the CD, as I imagine the publisher has been run by now17:34
cjwatsonev: AFAICS, the alpha warning is shown on the KDE frontend language page17:34
mterryev, heh, hadn't thought of that.  will try17:34
evugh17:34
cjwatsonso I think we need a quick upload to set that to false17:34

wubiexeit's not so much that it's incorrect - it's that, but it's broken too (old 10.04.1 version that doesn't work), and only tells you after it's downloaded the full 10.04.2 CD image. Thanks!19:54
