jamespageDaviey, smoser, utlemming, lynxman (plus anyone else whos interested)10:11
caribouQuestion : when /boot is setup as a separate partition, is there a requirement for it to be ext2 ?10:11
jamespagethe minimal virtual install is around +50MB oversized in precise ATM10:11
lynxmancaribou: requirement is only put by grub, I think it supports XFS as well and other filesystems10:11
caribouthanks lynxman10:12
jamespagetwo versions of python is some of that; but we are also carrying multi-arch overhead - should/can this be disabled for the minimal-virtual install?10:12
lynxmancaribou: "GRUB supports all commonly used Unix file systems, VFAT and NTFS used by Windows, as well as Logical Block Address (LBA) mode. GRUB allows users to view the contents of files on any supported file system."10:12
caribouI'm working on a kdump patch to fix an issue when /boot is a separate partition10:13
cariboulynxman: thanks, means that the patch will need to be more generic10:13
lynxmanjamespage: I reckon so, but I think Daviey was doing some work on that10:14
jamespagelynxman, hmm - is Daviey around?  he might be on hols10:21
Davieyjamespage: o/10:24
Davieyholololowhat?10:24
jamespageDaviey: lynxman thought you might be looking at the minimal-virtual install size on amd64?10:26
lynxmanjamespage: he's never on holidays :)10:26
jamespageits about 50MB oversize - see above10:26
Davieyjamespage: I don't know that we can disable multi-arch for a specific usecase10:29
Davieywe might just have to lump it, unless there are other reasons for the expansion?10:30
jamespageDaviey: well its only 50MB so I can update the test case to make an allowance for amd64 architectures10:30
DavieyI did notice am64 iso recently ballooned, not clear why10:30
Daviey(amd64 iso is currently oversized)10:30
Daviey.. so we do need to fix that.10:30
jamespageDaviey: OK - so I'll update the test case to account for the multiarch increase10:30
jamespageit will still fail; so I'll raise a bug as well10:31
jamespageI have looked but can't see why it is so much larger10:31
Davieyright10:31
DavieyI'd like to be certain that is the only reason for the bump10:31
jamespage+25MB for multiarch10:31
DavieyOut of interest, when was the last time anyone here used alien?10:32
BigRedSDaviey: three or four years ago I'd have thought. Back when it was relatively new, and most things were packaged for rpm10:36
DavieyBigRedS: right, we still ship it on the CD.. wonder if we still need to.10:41
sarthorwhere can i get help about openerp? I want to know can i install openerp on ubuntu-server as a server? will i be able to connected via my browser?11:01

adam_gzul: ah, looks good. i wanna check on "glance-manage db sync", im not sure if that command is still there.. even if it is, "glance-manage" wasn't functioning at all last night. im not sure if config files need updating or what17:42
zuli installed that package this morning and didnt have the same problem17:43
adam_ghmm ok17:43
smoseradam_g, have you installed precise packagess of current nova?17:48
smoseri was seeing db sync issues with nova on devstack yesterday (from git, not packaged)17:48

adam_gsmoser: i haven't used anything that hasn't been in our archive this cycle. ill probably start working off milestone-proposed now17:48
adam_gsmoser: what was the issue? tables already exist?17:49

smoserthis is recent in last week i think17:50
smoserhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/770272/17:50

smoserthat was tip of both yesterday morning.17:51
adam_gsmoser: ive seen that before a while ago, it was a bad migration config in nova's migrate repo17:51
smoseradam_g, well it woekd on oneiric17:51

adam_gsmoser: at the surface it looks like the same thing, id look at the patch that fixed that bug and see if the same could be applied to the migration thats failing. it might be triggered by our mysql changes, but ideally those migrations should run on any compatable db backend, id think17:58

broderzul: what's your intent with the branches owned by ~openstack-ubuntu-packagers? my best interpretation of the intent is that changes should go there instead of the lp:ubuntu/* branches, but there's no Vcs-Bzr tag in the packaging to confirm that18:37
zulbroder: openstack-ubuntu-packagers is apart of the openstack project and thats where they keep their packaging, ubuntu packaing is kept in ubuntu-server-dev and the debian/control needs to be updated to reflect this18:39
EvilResistanceperhaps you all can help me...  i've got a system which tries to boot, but yells about a readonly filesystem and says it needs recovery (after which writing will become active again).  It dumps me into an initramfs prompt.  If I use a LiveCD to fsck the partition, will that fix the issue?18:40
