| _Josh_ | I have a problem with a customized precise-server installer, it fails in the during "select and install software" with "Unable to locate package minimal^", I | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| _Josh_ | I have this in the CD: pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-minimal_1.257_i386.deb | 00:43 |
| _Josh_ | and the following in the preseed: | 00:44 |
| _Josh_ | tasksel tasksel/first multiselect | 00:44 |
| _Josh_ | I have the same with lucid and it works without problem | 00:44 |
| _Josh_ | anybody can help? | 00:45 |
| cjwatson | probably a bug in how you've generated your CD image | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | mmm, yes, probably | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | but how can I debug it? | 00:45 |
| cjwatson | the "minimal^" syntax requires Task fields to exist in the Packages files | 00:45 |
| cjwatson | specifically some with "Task: minimal" | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | I'm generating it like I do with the lucid customization | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | nothing different I think | 00:45 |
| cjwatson | so I'm guessing you regenerated Packages and forgot to include extra overrides | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | mmmm | 00:45 |
| _Josh_ | let me see... | 00:45 |
| cjwatson | it's possible some code got incidentally stricter along the way | 00:46 |
| cjwatson | I'm going to be too tired to walk you through debugging scripts (00:46 and I still need to hang up laundry before bed, erk) but hopefully I've given you enough keywords above that you can search usefully | 00:47 |
| _Josh_ | cjwatson, no problem, thank you very much for the tip! :) | 00:48 |
| cjwatson | it is a bit odd that it cares about minimal given that that task should always be installed by that point | 00:48 |
| cjwatson | I wouldn't mind looking at a complete syslog (preferably with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer) and your preseed file when I'm more awak | 00:49 |
| cjwatson | e | 00:49 |
| _Josh_ | I'll try to fix it by myself, but I'll be back if not, thanks again :) | 00:50 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: Have you seen bug 669459? | 16:51 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 669459 in ubiquity "Ubuntu installation writes into foreign partitions and MBR without permission, damaging other operating systems on the disk" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/669459 | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: gruh | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | interesting that cylinder alignment fixes it | 17:11 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: also it looks like bug 919356 may have a fix in it | 17:33 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 919356 in choose-mirror "Default hostname needed for PowerPC" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/919356 | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | thanks, I'll try to figure out whether that's correct :) | 17:39 |
| bdmurray | Thanks. If you could let me know that'd be great because there a few bugs about it. | 17:40 |
| bdmurray | Oh, I guess I could subscribe. ;-) | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | he says the alternate CD is still affected, so I'll try to reproduce it in d-i | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | the last time I tried, I couldn't reproduce it - but his clue that it only affects people outside the UK is very likely instructive there | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | (it's a lot quicker to run d-i under qemu than it is to run ubiquity under qemu!) | 17:41 |
| bdmurray | * Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country if | 17:42 |
| bdmurray | the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting to GB | 17:42 |
| bdmurray | Is that relevant? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | possibly, but I won't know until I've traced it | 17:43 |
| cjwatson | I don't think I agree with the proposed change | 17:44 |
| cjwatson | the intent of adding "Default: mirror" there was to change the default in the case where you ask for a custom mirror | 17:45 |
| cjwatson | if it's affecting the default in other cases, something else is wrong | 17:45 |
