| superm1 | stgraber: do you not have cia turned on for your bzr branch? | 05:19 |
|---|---|---|
| superm1 | (of ubiquity that is) | 05:19 |
| stgraber | superm1: yep, I do for ubiquity, I tend to forget for the other ones as I don't usually keep them on my laptop | 05:20 |
| superm1 | oh i just didn't see any announces for today's ubiquity upload in this channel | 05:20 |
| stgraber | that was ev, so maybe he doesn't have CIA configured | 05:21 |
| superm1 | oh i see, yeah maybe | 05:21 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: need to pick your brain for a moment. Roughly speaking, how hard would it get base-installer to properly install a kernel from precise-proposed/updates? As far as I understand it, d-i wants to always install the release kernel, then update on the fly | 12:41 |
| infinity | NCommander: He's on leave. | 12:42 |
| * NCommander picks infinity's brain instead | 12:42 | |
| infinity | And this is a solved problem. | 12:42 |
| infinity | We build d-i against backport kernels from updates. | 12:42 |
| NCommander | Right, I understand this | 12:43 |
| NCommander | but my understanding is what happens is the system is booted from the d-i build in updates | 12:43 |
| NCommander | Install base system happens, kernel from precise-release is added. d-i then populates /etc/apt/sources.lists, and the kernel gets dist-upgraded on the fly | 12:43 |
| NCommander | at least as late as oneiric, base-installer would explode if it couldn't grab a kernel deb from where it debootstrapped from | 12:44 |
| infinity | That would never work for the lts backport kernels, since they aren't direct version upgrades from released packages. | 12:44 |
| infinity | So, while I haven't looked at the code, I don't see how it could work that way. | 12:45 |
| stgraber | bdmurray: looking at bug 898278 | 22:28 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 898278 in ubiquity "Upgrade menu option should not appear for old releases" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/898278 | 22:28 |
| stgraber | bdmurray: did you ever reproduce it on Precise? | 22:29 |
| stgraber | as in, with a Precise system and using an Oneiric media? | 22:29 |
| stgraber | I'm still digging through the code at the moment but at least in my VM, it doesn't let me "upgrade", it only lets me reinstall | 22:29 |
| bdmurray | stgraber: looking | 22:31 |
| stgraber | I was planning on using a 11.10 media with a 12.04 install to reproduce and then fix ubiquity, but it'd be nice to actually get the bug for that ;) | 22:31 |
| bdmurray | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/891711/comments/7 | 22:32 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 891711 in ubiquity "Fails to copy directory over symlink (e.g. /var/lock when downgrading from 11.10 to 11.04)" [High,Confirmed] | 22:32 |
| bdmurray | It seems like I did at one point | 22:32 |
| stgraber | or I'll just add a lot of debugging to ubiquity's code and try to figure out where the bug might be and why it doesn't affect me (there are a lot of FIXME's in there) | 22:32 |
| stgraber | yeah, I guess I'll have another look through the history for the commit that might have fixed it | 22:33 |
| stgraber | because there isn't much point in testing the 11.04 installer on a 11.10 system as I couldn't really fix it anyway and ubiquity changed quite a bit since then | 22:34 |
| bdmurray | stgraber: in ubi-partman it says | 22:40 |
| bdmurray | # TODO: Verify that the version is in fact older. | 22:40 |
| stgraber | bdmurray: yeah, and for some reason I never actually hit that part of the code when trying 11.10 with a 12.04 system | 22:41 |
