[00:38] <kaushal> Hi
[00:39] <kaushal> I am hit with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/548617 Any fix is available for this bug ?
[00:39] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 548617 in kickseed "Fresh kickstart installation of lucid fails, - asking for ISCSI volumes (dup-of: 546929)" [Undecided,New]
[00:39] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 546929 in linux "most PATA/SATA modules missing in Lucid netboot" [Critical,Fix released]
[00:39] <kaushal> I am using PXE server to install lucid 10.04.3 on IBM System x3650 M3
[01:44] <kaushal> checking in again for the query ?
[19:41] <stgraber> cjwatson: still about casper, I'd like to have your opinion on http://paste.ubuntu.com/770419/ as a fix of bug 290351
[19:41] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 290351 in casper "live session user and host should be called kubuntu on kubuntu" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/290351
[19:42] <stgraber> cjwatson: I confirmed it works on Edubuntu (yay for kvm letting you boot with an external kernel and initrd ;)) and it should work on pretty much anything that doesn't give us an invalid username
[19:42] <stgraber> I also did a quick check in casper's code to ensure we use $USERNAME everywhere (and we do!)
[19:43] <stgraber> I'm just wondering if we have cases where .disk/info exists but contains something that's invalid or something that wouldn't give us the intended username
[19:54] <GrueMaster> Does anyone here know how to set the mac address on the image during netinstall through preseed?  I have several platforms that the only nic doesn't have static mac (no flash).  I can set it in the kernel parameters when booting netinstall, but need netinstall to transfer that to the running system.
[19:59] <GrueMaster> ubuntu
[20:00] <GrueMaster> bah.  wrong window.
[20:01] <stgraber> GrueMaster: and knowing you, I'm guessing that's on ARM? so preseeding grub's kernel parameters won't help right?
[20:01] <GrueMaster> Yea, grub-free environment.  :P
[20:02] <stgraber> ok, and I guess flash-kernel still doesn't have a configuration or anything you could change to add a kernel paramemter...
[20:02] <GrueMaster> I think I can only set it on the boot cmdline.  I'm checking if I can just append to /etc/network/interfaces.
[20:02] <stgraber> you could do it the ugly way in /etc/network/interfaces by using a pre-up on the interface with something like "ifconfig eth0 hw addr aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"
[20:02] <stgraber> I can't remember if ifupdown has a standard way of doing it though
[20:02] <GrueMaster> Well, for Panda, kernels from Natty+ set the mac from the cpu die-id.  Maverick is borked.  Also omap.
[20:10] <GrueMaster> sigh.  Looks like it needs to be a module parameter.  And since this module is built-in to the kernel, it needs to be on the kernel cmdline.
[20:10] <GrueMaster> Which means editing /boot/boot.script.

[20:25] <CIA-4> partman-auto: Remove the use of 'local' in shell scripts outside of functions. Newer
[20:25] <CIA-4> partman-auto: shell script interpreters in precise complain otherwise.
[20:27] <CIA-4> partman-auto: superm1 * r619 partman-auto/debian/changelog: releasing version 93ubuntu18
[20:29] <GrueMaster> stgraber: I'm going to have to hack it in for panda.  Only need it for maverick and I am using a hand-assembled netinstaller anyways.  I'll revisit when I need this for beagleXM and other platforms.
[20:45] <cjwatson> stgraber: seems OK, I think - maybe allow it to be overridden by an explicit FLAVOUR= in casper.conf (i.e. && [ -z "$FLAVOUR" ] around the whole thing)?
[20:46] <stgraber> cjwatson: good idea, I'll add that, then upload what I have so far and test the next dailies, I don't like uploading more than 4-5 casper changes at a time :)
[20:46] <cjwatson> superm1: nice catch, thanks
[20:46] <superm1> sure np
[21:35] <roadmr> hey folks, Ubiquity is giving me an [Errno 5] Input/output error with a bunch of SQUASHFS errors (inflate error, failed to read block, fragment cache entry)
[21:36] <roadmr> this is a network install with a preseed file, I tried to rule out the usual suspects (network corruption, memory, hard disk failure ) so far all the tests have passed
[21:36] <roadmr> I know the installation image itself is OK because I've installed other systems with the same
[21:37] <roadmr> any more ideas on how to diagnose this? :)
[22:04] <CIA-4> ubiquity: stgraber * r5111 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/plugininstall.py): Recent casper generates the username and hostname based on the media name, replacing hardcoded casper_user by the username of uid 999.
