[03:36] 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. === jibel_ is now known as jibel [11:19] 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] to find the root cause [11:20] i think thats shown if you missed to assign / in the partitioner [11:21] indeed [11:21] probably broken preseeding [11:21] should be some hints in the syslog [11:22] cjwatson - that's what i was getting at. what kind of hints? [11:24] don't know, have a look :-) should be somewhere down near the end if any [11:32] d-i partman-auto/method string regular [11:32] that's in the preseed. shouldn't everything be automatic then? [11:43] presumably something went wrong. I can't guess from only that [11:43] where's the preseed stored on the system installed [11:43] it's not [12:55] Hello, [12:55] Howdo you change/modify the ubuntu branding during ubiquity bootup [12:55] it looks like changing plymouth themes does not seem to have any effect [12:56] while the live installer is booting up [12:56] i.e for a kubuntu installation, changing /lib/plymouth/kubuntu-[logo|text]/* [12:57] does not seem to affect presentation while the installer is being booted up from install media [13:02] you might need to update the initramfs [13:05] cjwatson: i patches files inside $CDROM/casper/filesystem.squashfs [13:05] while cdrom is booting up text comes up as kubuntu [13:05] but once the live DVD bootsup [13:05] you don't need to repeat; I understand. some of those files are copied into the initramfs [13:05] i run plymouth it shows the text that i have done [13:06] on liveDVD there is an initramfs ?? [13:06] of course [13:07] it wouldn't know how to mount the squashfs etc. otherwise [13:07] Ah .. thanks :) .. if you dont mind i will ping back if i get stuck (not you personally) [13:07] 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] something along those lines should do [14:12] cjwatson: Just FYI ish .. i was not updating casper/initrd.lz [14:14] thanks for all your help .. [18:14] ubiquity: cjwatson * r5110 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py): [18:14] ubiquity: * GTK frontend: [18:14] ubiquity: - Some automatic partitioning options change the text on the next button [18:14] ubiquity: to "Install Now". Make sure that this works even when changing to the [18:14] ubiquity: automatic partitioning page with one of those options automatically [18:14] ubiquity: selected (LP: #766265). [18:39] 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] Not particularly; you have upstream commit access, don't you? [18:40] Oh, hm, I wonder if there'll be testing/unstable sync issues [18:40] Not that I know of. [18:40] 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. [18:41] *works [18:41] The testing thing is kinda sticky, given that one is a udeb, and the other a deb... [18:41] Indeed. Is there any way we can decouple this a bit? [18:41] I'd suggest posting patches to debian-boot@ and see what thoughts people have [18:41] I could maybe make mklibs fall back on its previous (broken) behaviour if /lib64 exists and is a symlink... [18:42] Yeah, something like that [18:42] I think it needs a sort of organisational review from people who remember exactly how Debian's daily builds work, though [18:43] Yeah, that's fair. I'll give some thought to further tidying and then post something. [18:44] After I finish this eglibc merge of doom... 4MB diff, my ass. [18:46] 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] cjwatson: So, I have an installed-from-official-image precise/armhf on my panda. [19:15] sweet, guess I'll do that on my panda later this week then (before leaving for a month on another continent) [20:08] infinity: nice [20:08] stgraber: Heh.
