| ViperVenom | Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown. | 03:36 |

| brendand | can anyone give any hints on what i should be looking for when i see a 'No root file system defined' error in d-i? | 11:19 |
| brendand | to find the root cause | 11:19 |
| ogra_ | i think thats shown if you missed to assign / in the partitioner | 11:20 |
| cjwatson | indeed | 11:21 |
| cjwatson | probably broken preseeding | 11:21 |
| cjwatson | should be some hints in the syslog | 11:21 |
| brendand | cjwatson - that's what i was getting at. what kind of hints? | 11:22 |
| cjwatson | don't know, have a look :-) should be somewhere down near the end if any | 11:24 |
| brendand | d-i partman-auto/method string regular | 11:32 |
| brendand | that's in the preseed. shouldn't everything be automatic then? | 11:32 |
| cjwatson | presumably something went wrong. I can't guess from only that | 11:43 |
| brendand | where's the preseed stored on the system installed | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | it's not | 11:43 |
| sekon_ | Hello, | 12:55 |
| sekon_ | Howdo you change/modify the ubuntu branding during ubiquity bootup | 12:55 |
| sekon_ | it looks like changing plymouth themes does not seem to have any effect | 12:55 |
| sekon_ | while the live installer is booting up | 12:56 |
| sekon_ | i.e for a kubuntu installation, changing /lib/plymouth/kubuntu-[logo|text]/* | 12:56 |
| sekon_ | does not seem to affect presentation while the installer is being booted up from install media | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | you might need to update the initramfs | 13:02 |
| sekon_ | cjwatson: i patches files inside $CDROM/casper/filesystem.squashfs | 13:05 |
| sekon_ | while cdrom is booting up text comes up as kubuntu | 13:05 |
| sekon_ | but once the live DVD bootsup | 13:05 |
| cjwatson | you don't need to repeat; I understand. some of those files are copied into the initramfs | 13:05 |
| sekon_ | i run plymouth it shows the text that i have done | 13:05 |
| sekon_ | on liveDVD there is an initramfs ?? | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | of course | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | it wouldn't know how to mount the squashfs etc. otherwise | 13:07 |
| sekon_ | Ah .. thanks :) .. if you dont mind i will ping back if i get stuck (not you personally) | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | bind-mount /proc /sys /dev into your read-write environment that you pack up into a squashfs, chroot into that environment, update-initramfs -u | 13:07 |
| cjwatson | something along those lines should do | 13:07 |
| sekon_ | cjwatson: Just FYI ish .. i was not updating casper/initrd.lz | 14:12 |
| sekon_ | thanks for all your help .. | 14:14 |

| infinity | cjwatson: Do you see any issues with pushing my mklibs/rootskel changes to Debian? (Both need to go in together, as rootskel's linking breaks mklibs trying to do sane things) | 18:39 |
| cjwatson | Not particularly; you have upstream commit access, don't you? | 18:39 |
| cjwatson | Oh, hm, I wonder if there'll be testing/unstable sync issues | 18:40 |
| infinity | Not that I know of. | 18:40 |
| cjwatson | Because I suspect that unstable mklibs will sometimes be used to build testing images or vice versa. I always forget exactly how the daily build regime wors. | 18:40 |
| cjwatson | *works | 18:41 |
| infinity | The testing thing is kinda sticky, given that one is a udeb, and the other a deb... | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | Indeed. Is there any way we can decouple this a bit? | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | I'd suggest posting patches to debian-boot@ and see what thoughts people have | 18:41 |
| infinity | I could maybe make mklibs fall back on its previous (broken) behaviour if /lib64 exists and is a symlink... | 18:41 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, something like that | 18:42 |
| cjwatson | I think it needs a sort of organisational review from people who remember exactly how Debian's daily builds work, though | 18:42 |
| infinity | Yeah, that's fair. I'll give some thought to further tidying and then post something. | 18:43 |
| infinity | After I finish this eglibc merge of doom... 4MB diff, my ass. | 18:44 |
| infinity | cjwatson: On the positive side, ubiquity/oem-config "Just Works" on armhf, now that we fixed a procps bug that was blocking us. :P | 18:46 |
| infinity | cjwatson: So, I have an installed-from-official-image precise/armhf on my panda. | 18:46 |
| stgraber | sweet, guess I'll do that on my panda later this week then (before leaving for a month on another continent) | 19:15 |
| cjwatson | infinity: nice | 20:08 |
| infinity | stgraber: Heh. | 20:08 |
