[01:41] <bfallik> trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 using update manager.  I get error msg "Could not find the release notes".  do-release-upgrade comlains "404 Not Found" for natty.tar.gz.gpg.  How can I upgrade?
[03:03] <pgoode> does anyone know of an issue with canonical and upgrading to 11.04?
[03:03] <pgoode> do-release-upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 is failing
[03:04] <pgoode> WARNING:root:file 'natty.tar.gz.gpg' missing
[07:40] <soren> pgoode: It should be fixed now.
[07:40] <soren> pgoode: Thanks for reporting it!
[15:24] <pgoode> soren - thank you.  i have confirmed that it is working
[15:52] <bdmurray> cjwatson: should casper be installable? bug 821445
[15:52] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 821445 in casper "Casper fails to install on 10.04.3" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/821445
[16:22] <cjwatson> bdmurray: yes
[16:22] <cjwatson> oh, but not together with live-initramfs
[16:22] <cjwatson> casper (1.237) maverick; urgency=low
[16:22] <cjwatson>   * Conflict with live-initramfs, as they overlap and people can pick one or
[16:22] <cjwatson>     the other (LP: #453476).
[16:23] <cjwatson> so it's a dup, and if we think it's important to fix in lucid there should be a lucid tas
[16:23] <cjwatson> k
[16:23] <cjwatson> (I don't think it's important for lucid, but maybe we should create a lucid task anyway)
[16:30] <bdmurray> cjwatson: got it thanks
[19:16]  * noob99 Anyone know if the following error would stop an install? anna[4640]: cat: can't open '/tmp/net-retriever-4644-deduplicate/*' : No such file or directory
[19:20] <cjwatson> noob99: not in itself, no
[19:32]  * noob99 It happens after net-retriever pulls down the Release and Release.gpg files. The menu screen has "... failed to download a file from the mirror..." The mirror was created by copying the files from the CD/DVD image.
[19:34] <CarlFK> noob99: long shot, but this may make that problem go away: instead of making a mirror, use http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/squid-deb-proxy
[19:34] <noob99> I can do that for testing but I need to get it working for a local mirror.
[19:35] <noob99> Actually I already did try pointing it at the OSU web site and it worked that way
[19:35] <CarlFK> worked what way?
[19:37] <noob99> by setting  mirror/http/hostname, mirror/http/directory in the preseed file and  preseed/url= on the kernel cmdline
[19:38] <noob99> When I switch it from my local mirror to the OSU one it worked
[19:38] <CarlFK> also, I plan on trying this to make a stand alone install server: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/offline_mode/<
[19:40] <noob99> For my use I don't need a proxy or cache.
[19:40] <CarlFK> well, you want a way to have all the .debs local.  that should do it
[19:41] <CarlFK> debs, package list, keys.. whatever else the installer gets from the net.
[19:42] <noob99> yes, but I thought that the files on the CD/DVD had enought to do the install. They wouldn't be upto date but would create a functional system.
[19:42] <CarlFK> and you will need something other than the CD files once you want to add a package, which will likely be the next thing once you get a basic installer working ;)
[19:44] <noob99> Once I have a system up with Ubuntu then I'd be able to use apt-mirror to create the build repositories? Sorry I'm coming from RHEL/Kickstart/Annaconda/Yum and trying to get this Ubuntu thing ;) working.
[19:46] <noob99> not just the build repositories, the repositories would be functional mirror(s).
[19:46] <CarlFK> cant help you with apt-mirror - I tried 2 other things: apt-proxy and apt-cache - both anoyed me.  the squid thing seems to work
[19:47] <noob99> With squid you'd still be using someone elses mirrors?
[19:47] <CarlFK> if you plan on something like that, why are you messing with using the CD files?
[19:47] <CarlFK> use a live mirror to load up squids cache, then take it off line to run without net access
[19:48] <noob99> because the server that I have available to use at the moment is RHEL based and I'm trying to get by the chicken/egg stage.
[19:48] <CarlFK> the 'off line' bit I haven't done yet.  wont need it till March, so it is low on my list of things to mess with
[19:49] <CarlFK> so currently you are just having trouble installing to one box?
[19:52] <noob99> I have the RHEL server that has the DHCP/PXE/http services and the files from the Ubuntu CD/DVD ISO. Then I'm trying to install a desktop with Ubuntu. The desktop errors with the above and the last log message was the cat error.
[19:53] <noob99> But I can do a CD install of Ubuntu on the desktop okay
[19:54] <CarlFK> um.. so why don't you do a CD install to get past the chicken egg problem?
[19:55] <CarlFK> bbl
[19:57] <noob99> The requirement is to have a local network based Ubuntu or Debian or Mint installer. I'm forced, for now, to use the server that provides the current DHCP/PXE service.
