| Pobbel | Hi all, is this the best place for assistance with a broken install, or would ubuntu-beginners be more suitable? | 09:32 |
| bdmurray | ev, cjwatson: How could I recover the system in bug 891711? | 15:35 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 891711 in ubiquity ""Upgrade" from 11.10 to 11.04 results in a unusable system" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/891711 | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | I think it would probably be necessary to repeat the "upgrade" again but patch around that problem | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | (e.g. by putting 'try:' / 'except OSError: pass' around it | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | ) | 15:38 |
| bdmurray | That'd be the easiest? I'm trying to provide a way for people to get their systems usable again. | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | I know, but it's pretty hard to fix 11.04 now! | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | the installer broke fairly early as these things go; there'd be a very significant number of manual steps required | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure I'd get them all right | 15:43 |
| cjwatson | the only idea I have is SRUing ubiquity so that they could upgrade it first | 15:44 |
| bdmurray | Okay, I'll test the try except idea then | 15:45 |
| * ogra_ finds it odd that we actually call it an upgrade | 15:45 | |
| bdmurray | yes, that should be fixed in precise | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: again, hard to fix 11.04 | 15:46 |
| ogra_ | yeah :) | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | I don't think anyone thought of this scenario at the time | 15:47 |
| ogra_ | i thought it was done this way on purpose ... i.e. design team saying to not confuse users with the downgrade term or some such | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | I doubt it | 15:47 |
| ogra_ | good to hear it isnt :) | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | the specific problem here is probably failure to replace symlink with directory | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | I guess http://paste.ubuntu.com/742358/ would be neater (that's against precise) | 15:49 |
| superm1 | cjwatson: without regard to the CD boot menu stuff, do you anticipate resyncing to trunk for grub2 in debian and ubuntu for precise? | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | there've been quite a lot of big complex changes and I'm thinking it might be better to cherry-pick | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | unless upstream releases 2.0 | 16:42 |
| superm1 | okay. i'm only asking because I have some stuff applies patches on top of grub2 source package in order to cross-compile to mingw32 that i'd just like to plan out | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | if they're upstream I expect I'd be willing to take such patches in Debian on a temporary basis | 16:44 |
| superm1 | a few of them are | 16:45 |
| superm1 | i'll sort out what's not in debian but is upstream to cherry pick then | 16:45 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: the patch seems to have worked | 17:19 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: there is still a kernel from 11.10 installed and grub defaults to that though. Do you have a recommendation on how to remove it? | 17:45 |
| cjwatson | just remove its package | 17:50 |
| bdmurray | I don't think its recorded as being installled | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | oh, huh. I guess not. in that case remove the files from /boot and /lib/modules ... | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | see also: use case not envisioned :-) | 17:52 |
| bdmurray | yeah | 17:52 |
| CIA-16 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r5091 trunk/debian/ (changelog rules): | 22:19 |
| CIA-16 | ubiquity: Remove /usr/lib/libubiwebcam.la. Nothing uses this, and its | 22:19 |
| CIA-16 | ubiquity: dependency_libs entries don't match current reality. | 22:19 |
