rickspencer3pitti, beer and all green in the smoke tests this morning06:35
rickspencer3!06:35
pittirickspencer3: yep, sorted out the remaining bits on Friday evening :)06:37
rickspencer3pitti, nice work, will put us in a good position for beta freeze06:38
rickspencer3pitti, was it hard to get the archive problems sorted?06:38
pittirickspencer3: no, not particularly06:40
pittijust some discussion involved, and then pressing a few buttons06:40
rickspencer3thanks pitti06:40
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt needs some work still06:41
pittiapw, janimo`: are linux-{ac100,n900} really supposed to get into main?06:41
pittiinfinity: d-i FTBFS on powerpc, presumably those kernel images went away in favor of -smp?06:44
infinitypitti: Yeah, we're holding off on resolving that while we decide if we need to resurrect powerpc.06:46
infinitypitti: (ppc-smp doesn't boot on my UP G3, at least, so we may need to revert the mess)06:46
infinitypitti: And linux-ac100 and n900 are *not* main kernels, no.06:46
pitti^ that's what I thought06:48
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt says open-iscsi-udeb and others now want them06:48
infinitypitti: Seems like a virtual package oops, maybe?06:49
infinitypitti: Confused resolver...06:49
pittiit's fairly new on c-m06:49
infinitypitti: Yeah, but neither of those kernels are new, so the fault lies elsewhere.06:49
micahgpitti: AIUI, we don't want keywords for random universe packages just like we don't want the quicklists07:12
micahgor rather don't want ATM07:13
pittiquicklists need translations, but keywords not necessarily?07:18
pittibut it was forwarded upstream, so it seemed harmless enough07:18
pittibut I see that it's debatable07:18
pittiok, http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ is down to 13 now, and that's about as much as I'm comfortable with sponsoring07:19

micahgpitti: I'll take a look at the rest in ~20 hours when I pilot07:20
micahgpitti: BTW, that was something else I saw the conversation about, not quicklists, so I might be confused, I'll check with seb128 when he gets online07:21
pittimicahg: there's two or three SRUs which can still be sponsored, and the grub2 stuff if you feel up to it07:23

janimo`pitti, linux ac100 doe snot need to be in main as far as I know, we have been making images for ac100 just fine so far. Unless tooling or policies have changed it can stay a simple community supported image seeded from universe08:53
apwev, when woopsie is at the 'you had a problem' stage and has yet not collected details, does it have the binary name of the crash?  i would quite like to be able to see that before details is collected if so, and am suggesting perhaps making it a tooltip on the detail button or something subtle09:19
=== fenris is now known as Guest97336
hrwuf. according to my script we have 4717 packages without -dbgsym ones10:39
geserhow many of those have a -debug package?10:39
hrwhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/890445/ is list and http://paste.ubuntu.com/890445/ is script if someone is interested10:39
hrwgeser: -dbg check is my next step. but amount of packages may be lower as I have some external ppas10:40
seb128hrw, how many of those are not candidate to having a debug?10:40
seb128hrw, like a shell script10:40
hrwseb128: many probably - have to go though list and improve script10:41
geserhrw: and you linked the same paste twice10:41
seb128hrw, there is no reason we would miss dbgsym out of publishing bugs (which happen)10:41
hrwops10:41
hrwgeser: 89044410:42
seb128hrw, basically anything calling dh_strip (i.e stripping binaries) should have a dbgsym10:42
hrwI know10:42
hrwor ones which call pkg-create-dbgsym by hand (like binutils)10:42
seb128hrw, what are you trying to get at?10:43
hrwseb128: I am working on creating ubuntu based sysroots for Linaro's binary toolchain. Making sysroot imge with -dev packages is quite easy. problem starts when someone also wants debug symbols10:44
hrwseb128: so based on one of my scripts I wrote extra one which checks fo packages without dbgsym support10:44
seb128hrw, your script is buggy10:44
seb128hrw, like gnome-session is listed but it has ddeb support, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/gnome-session/10:44
hrwseb128: yes, it is - fast written10:44
wzssyqawhy there is an symbol link "ubuntu" in archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to .?10:45
seb128hrw, so what's the point of making boggus number claims on that channel? ;-)10:45
seb128hrw, I'm still not sure what feedback you were aiming for claiming that 4700 "packages" don't have a dbgsym there10:46
hrwseb128: sorry, just wanted to share yet-another-rather-useless-for-most thing10:46
seb128hrw, well it would be useful if you didn't come with boggus numbers ;-) it seems like a finger pointing on Ubuntu or something10:47
hrwsorry, does not planned to offend anyone10:47
seb128hrw, it would be useful if you came with a list of packages than should have a dbgsym and don't rather10:47
hrwseb128: will post such one during this/next week10:48
seb128hrw, rather than coming stating "css themes and shell scripts don't have a dbgsym"... sure what would be a dbgsym for a css ;-)10:48
hrw;)10:48
hrwseb128: thank you for it - added notes10:49
seb128hrw, thanks, looking forward having a reasonable list of what is buggy and we should fix ;-)10:49
hrwseb128: css themes and shell scripts are usually 'architecture:all' so I skip them. but there are some false negatives on my list still10:52
seb128hrw, well you have weird stuff like hundred of language-support packages10:55
seb128hrw, and you have bugs, i.e gnome-session is listed but it has a dbgsym10:55
seb128hrw, oh, i.e gnome-user-docs is listed but it builds only gnome-user-guide which is arch all and documentation10:56
seb128hrw, so your arch all filtering is somewhat not working I guess10:56
hrwseb128: I started next run with some fixes10:57

brendandhtorque, i would imagine that as long as the email that the 'signed' CLA was sent by and the contributors LP email are the same it should be ok12:11
brendandhtorque, i'm not an authority though12:11
=== _salem is now known as salem_
sladenhtorque: do you have an exact example?12:12
htorquesladen: for example, "Duffy Duck <duff.duck@gmail.com>" contributes to one of the projects that require signing the CLA - is that possible?12:14
htorquebrendand: thanks, do you know who to contact for getting a more official answer?12:15
sladenhtorque: ultimately you can put anything you want on the Commit ID12:15
sladenhtorque: the key comes to getting somebody to accept that12:15
sladenhtorque: which means the person-accepting-it needs to be sure that they are allowed to do so12:16
sladenhtorque: eg. that acceptor needs to be happy that a CLA exists that covers that contribution12:16
sladenhtorque: and that the CLA is valid12:17
brendandhtorque, i think in our environment the only secure way to confirm someone is who they say they are is that they can access the same email account for two purposes12:17
htorquesladen: but are there any legal problems when signing the CLA with anything else than your real name?12:19
htorque*than/but12:19
sladenhtorque: what's actually going to happen in practice, so that you'll probably push a proposed branch (using Bzr-over-SSH) to  launchpad.net/~htorque/+junk/proposed-patch-for-bug-123412:19
sladenis that12:19
sladenhtorque: and somewhere separate, that account will be on the ticklist for accounts that have signed the CLA12:20
sladenhtorque: and when filling out the CLA you will have put in sufficient details to allow you to be contacted12:20
sladenhtorque: (I perhaps understand your problem to some extant, as having a _boat_, that doesn't have a fixed address of its own)12:21
slangasekbryceh: right, no sense in uploading it if we know it's going to FTBFS - I just thought you were uploading it already before that.  no matter :)12:21
slangasekpitti: as I understand it, the libO that uses it has not yet been uploaded12:22
slangasektkamppeter: hi there12:22
sladenhtorque: if you can convince somebody else that you're called Duffy Duck, you can give it a shot12:22
sladenhtorque: though since there are several humans in the chain, one of them would likely spot and double check it12:23
sladenhtorque: in which case you'd probably have to pursuade a lawyer that you're called Duffy Duck12:23
sladenhtorque: OTOH, if it's tied to your Launchpad and there a GPG key on there signed by 20 Debian Developers confirming you _are_ known as Duffy Duck then that would probably solve it :)12:24
imbrandon/win 612:25
sladenhtorque: as those people are lending a small part of their own credibility into reenforcing that identity12:26
htorquesladen: yeah, i guess it's hard to get it signed by even one person. ;-) so, to summarize: if there's no CLA, than it's basically up to the one accepting the contribution. if there is a CLA, it depends on the requirements of that CLA?12:26
sladenhtorque: there are a number of Canonical back projects that require CLA to contributions, in order to allow them to be relicensed in a flexibly and legally-sound way.  Getting people to sign CLAs is _not_ generally hard12:28
sladenCanonical-backed projects12:28
sladenhtorque: (this does not stop you from contributing to Ubuntu)12:29
sladenhtorque: and is somethere for some of the upstream projects that Canonical steers12:29
sladenhtorque: and is only there for some of the upstream projects that Canonical steers12:30
htorquesladen: but there are people in the ubuntu community that prefer to not use their real name for any activity. they are definitely ruled out by the canonical CLA?12:30
vibhavas far as i am aware, any real names that are on signed contributor agreements  are not made public12:30
sladenhtorque: I don't think anyone stops that12:31
htorquevibhav: but the signed contribution itself is12:31
vibhavoh yes12:31
vibhavhmm12:31
sladenhtorque: yes, Canonical care about having a legally-sound basis for the projects they steer.  If you're wanting to contribute to a Canonical Upstream project then you need to do that (with Canonical) in a legally sound way12:32
sladenhtorque: the options are generally:  (1) an employment contract  (2) a contracting agreement  (3) a legally-sound CLA12:33
htorquei see. the Canonical CLA seems to require: first name, last name, email, phone, address, country12:33
sladenhtorque: if you have some specific situation (eg. war-torn country, stalking issues, living a boat without a fixed address), then we could look into it.  But both yourself and Canonical would have to be happy that the result was a legally-sound understanding entered into in good faith by both parties12:35
sladenhtorque: (and not that this is only about contributing code upstream, _to_ Canonical upstream projects.  It doesn't apply to eg. Ubuntu, or to forked your own versions of Canonical upstream projects)12:36
sladenand note12:36
htorquesladen: thanks, that pretty much answers the question (not "my" question, it's on ask ubuntu → http://askubuntu.com/questions/112434/is-there-a-real-name-policy-in-the-ubuntu-community).12:37
sladenhtorque: (and if you'd prefer to discuss this in private, I'm happy to do that aswell)12:37
sladenhtorque: ah ha.  Well in that case, I can just answer there then :12:37
htorquesladen: vibhav won't like that (due to the bounty going on) :P12:38
htorquehe basically answered all the other points, just the code contribution was left.12:38
vibhavhtorque: :(12:39
sladenhtorque: vibhav: well, I _hope_ the aim is to get a high-quality answer up there, not who gets the prize12:40
vibhavsladen: sure12:40
sladenhtorque: vibhav: PS. next time you've got a similar query, could you try and post the link giving the high-level summary _first_, not _last_!12:41
htorquesladen: right, sorry. i just mentioned ask ubuntu - forgot the link.12:43
vibhavme too12:43
apwpitti, we hold ddebs 14 days from when the master binary packag12:57
apwpackage is reaped right ?12:57
ScottKsladen: I think it's a mis-statement to claim the CLA is in any way required for Canonical to be "having a legally-sound basis for the projects they steer".  If that were true, Ubuntu would be legally unsound.  It's not.13:04
ScottKhtorque: There's no real name policy in Ubuntu.13:05
htorqueScottK: but then, why require a CLA at all?13:07
ScottKhtorque: Ubuntu doesn't require one.  It's other Canonical projects that do.13:07
htorque(if not for legal reasons)13:07
ScottKhtorque: It's so that they can also ship code in their other projects under a proprietary license if they want to.13:07
ScottKSo it's not needed for any legal reasons related to Ubuntu.13:08
ScottKIt may be needed for legal reasons for other proprietary stuff.13:08
ScottKI guess that's a more correct way to put it.13:08
htorqueScottK:  however, it's needed for the contribution to be accepted (in ubuntu) in the first place?13:09
ScottKhtorque: Not in Ubuntu, just those other projects.13:09
infinityScottK: Jumping immediately to proprietary is a bit unfair, it's for ease of relicensing, period.13:09
htorqueScottK: but then the code cannot be merged into the upstream project and ubuntu would need to carry a patch around, right?13:11
ScottKinfinity:  True, but they could solve a whole world of trouble by just saying "sign the CLA or submit your changes with a BSD like license".13:11
ScottKhtorque: For those projects that's true, but there's a huge amount of Ubuntu that's nothing to do with them.  Also Ubuntu has carried patches for such projects in the past.13:12
infinityScottK: I suppose the FSF could do that too, but they don't.13:12
sladenScottK: that is basically what the CLA (now) says13:12
sladen(CLA != CCA)13:13
ScottKYes, but the FSF isn't a for profit company.  Even if I trust Canonical, I can't assume they won't eventually be bought (cf Sun/Oracle), so I think the comparison with the FSF is irrelevant.13:13
sladenScottK: charities can make a profit, and companies can make a loss.  Why would a random label of "for profit" have anything to do with it13:14
ScottKsladen: OK.  That's shorthand for a corporation.  At least in the US, non-profit entities can't be bought and sold.13:15
ScottKThere are not for profit corporations, so the for profit isn't 100% correct, but they are rare.13:16
sladenScottK: occasionally like-minded people with a cause in common club together to form an organisation of some sort.  Be it familes, or charities, or foundations, or companies, PLCs, LLPs, amateur radio clubs, canoe clubs etc13:16
=== bladernr_afk is now known as bladernr_
sladenCharities can be usurped, such as companies can13:19
ScottKIn the US, these are formed under section 501(c)3 of the tax code.  They have a governing board and a charter to do certain things to which they are limited.13:19
ScottKI haven't read the FSF charter, but I expect it includes some reference to free software, so I believe there would be some legal reprocussions if somehow it's board were packed and it's policies flipped to be proprietary friendly.13:20
ScottKI'm not saying it's impossible, but it's an entirely different thing than a corporation being sold.13:20
ScottKThe latter is a normal, expected thing.13:20
pittijanimo`: ok; not really sure why it's on c-m right now13:25
pittiapw: yes13:25
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
htorquesladen, ScottK: who would you need to talk to if there were any problems with signing the CLA? the project's contact listed at http://www.canonical.com/contributors? just want to add that to the existing AU answer (unless sladen is going to add his own answer).13:28
* ScottK has no idea.13:28
ScottKhtorque: My main request is that you not say Ubuntu requires the CLA.  It doesn't.13:28
htorqueScottK: yeah, sladen made that clear already. :-)13:29
ScottKOK.  Just making sure.13:30
sladenhtorque: if in doubt, you can post the query to me13:33
sladenhtorque: I think my name is still in the CLA PDF metadata ;-)13:33

htorquesladen:  ah13:45
ScottKhtorque: There's no requirement for a key signed by other people.13:45
ScottKI have, for example, generated a new key, added it to my LP account, and used it immediately to upload packages when I was traveling somewhere I wasn't comfortable taking my existing key.13:46
ScottKDebian has such a requirement, but Ubuntu doesn't.13:46
ScottKWhat's needed to upload directly is to be accepted as an Ubuntu developer.13:47
sladenScottK: okay, so the crucial thing is actually that the DMB sets membership of ~ubuntu-dev in Launchpad13:48
sladenScottK: and everything ease hangs off that13:48

apwcjwatson, i am perlexed, i just added one module to the d-i configuration for the virtio udeb, and the alternate image no longer have any of the modules in it, whereas before they did14:51
apwcjwatson, actually lets say --- whereas they are claimed to have been there before ... i don't have an old enough ISO to confirm14:52
apwcjwatson, indeed i even see the d-i build installing virtio-modules-3.2.0-19-generic-di as if it was going to use it ... hrm14:59
BenCMy memory fails me…what package builds the alternate cd's?14:59
apwBenC, it might be the debian-installer ... as it knows about kernel versions etc15:00
ogra_BenC, debian-cd15:00
ogra_(and a bunch of scripts called cdimage)15:01
BenCapw: had already checked that…it just builds the initrd's and boot compnents15:01
BenCogra_: thanks15:01
ogra_(check the branches of the ubuntu-cdimage team on LP15:01
apwogra_, you may know, how does one know which udebs are included in a specific iso ?15:02
mhall119seb128: what options do we have to fix icons on packages in partners?15:03
mhall119any?15:03
* mhall119 is specifically looking at skype15:03
seb128mhall119, dunno, I'm not the person to ask, I've no clue about partners, ask mvo maybe15:03
mhall119mvo: ^^ ??15:03
ogra_apw, look at the respectinve .list file for teh iso on cdimage15:03
mvomhall119: sure, a new app-install-data-partner is needed15:04
ogra_and grep for .udeb or so15:04
seb128mvo, that don't include runtime icons for unity does it?15:04
mhall119mvo: what does that mean? (please forgive my ignorance)15:04
mhall119mvo: specific case of skype: we have a 24px and 48px PNG, which look terrible in alt-tab switching.  If we were to get an SVG for it, can it be used?  Or does any image have to come from Skype?15:05
apwogra_, and if what i want is missing, where are the master copies?15:05
cjwatsonapw: let me have a look15:05
infinityRiddell: Which "corner image" are you referring to in bug 942543?15:05
cjwatsonapw: there's a manifest in the d-i output15:05

cjwatsonhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/MANIFEST.udebs15:06
apwcjwatson, i think virtio is not a udeb used in the images ... if i have done what ogra asked correctly15:06
mvoseb128: oh, runtime icons? no, just software-center icons15:06
cjwatsonogra_: no, the .list file is no good for udebs in the initrd15:06
ogra_oh, indeed15:06
cjwatsonapw: ogra_'s instructions are not correct here :)15:06
ogra_only for the installable ones15:06
ogra_sorry15:06
mvomhall119: we need to talk to skype about this, I don't think we can simply change that15:06
mhall119ok,that's what I figured the answer would be15:07
apwcjwatson, ok ... the manifest claims its in there15:07
mhall119thanks mvo15:07
apwvirtio-modules-3.2.0-19-generic-di 3.2.0-19.30 amd6415:07
seb128mvo, the question for mhall119 was "can we add a svg icon for skype to the skype package in partner", ie can we do such changes or do they need approval from the partners who submitted them?15:07
cjwatsonapw: only for some images15:07
seb128mvo, ok, I see you replied while I was typing :p15:07
cjwatsonapw: so which image were you expecting virtio-modules to be in?  the build system only puts it in netboot images15:07
apwoh oop15:07
apwcjwatson, ahh as the main server images include the -virtual kernel i was sort of assuming virtio was in them ... so that implies the 'they were there' is completly erroneous from the reporter15:08
mvoseb128: sorry, I missed some context15:08
cjwatsonapw: -virtual isn't used for installation15:08
cjwatsonit may be *installed*15:08
seb128mvo, no worry ;-)15:09
mhall119mvo: who would be a good person for me to talk to about getting better icons for those packages? (currently skype and adobe-flashplayer)15:09
apwcjwatson, yeah these images are being booted in virtual environments, even though they are non -virtual kernels for booting15:09
cjwatsonapw: virtio_blk is in block-modules right now, and virtio_net is in nic-modules - those are probably better15:09
cjwatsonapw: but I'd need to know exactly which module you're talking about15:09
apwcjwatson, these are hyper-v modules, modules for disks and network for that15:09
apwit sounds like i may have put them in the wrong hole15:10
cjwatsonmind you, {block,nic}-modules depend on virtio-modules15:10
infinityapw: Is that a frequent complaint?15:10
cjwatsonso that actually ought to be dragged in15:10
mvomhall119: the foundations team took this over, so slangasek I would think15:10
cjwatsonoh, of course, block-modules doesn't actually go in the cdrom initrd15:11
apwcjwatson, i definatly am not seeing them in the /install/initrd.gz on todays ubuntu-server daily15:11
cjwatsonthe cdrom initrd should only have enough to load stuff off the cdrom, not general block modules15:11
apwinfinity, that they are missing ?15:11
mhall119slangasek: I'm trying to get SVG icons for skype and flash-player-properties, do you happen to know who I can talk to about that?15:11
cjwatsonare these modules necessary for talking to a virtualised cdrom?15:11
Riddellinfinity: in the ubiquity KDE frontend15:12
apwcjwatson, i don't believe they are no, so they may be confused about needing them then15:12
infinityapw: No, putting tihngs in the wrong hole.15:12
apwinfinity, *slap*15:12
cjwatsonapw: then they aren't meant to be in the initrd - the installer loads more stuff at run-time15:12
infinityRiddell: I gathered that, yes, I meant which image.  The swirly watermark looking thing in the bottom left?15:12
apwinfinity, there is no wrong hole15:12
apwcjwatson, ok i will go and debug this with them, thanks for your help15:12
cjwatsonapw: either virtio-modules or {block,nic}-modules as appropriate ought to work, based on what you've described, and it isn't necessary for them to land in the initrd15:13
cjwatsonfeel free to point me at the bug15:13
apwcjwatson, yep i think we have a clear case of reporter not being at all clear what the issue is and we may actually have no issue at all15:13
apwor the issue is at a different level ... please flush from your mind until i have something that makes more sense15:14
cjwatsonflushed :)15:14
infinityapw: Hrm, while you're around, I suppose I should test your new kernel for my G3.15:15
apwinfinity, eeep15:15
Riddellinfinity: that's the one15:16
infinityRiddell: Kay.  That's not being pulled from a theme distributed with kubuntu, then?  I'll poke it after I test a kernel on my firewall.15:16
apwcjwatson, so i am hearing you say that the d-i boot kernel can use the udeb off the CD to suppliment its modules15:16
Riddellinfinity: I don't remember, it'll be the KDE frontend pointing to a .png file but that file is either shipped with Ubiquity or elsewhere in KDE15:17
Riddellinfinity: we can just get rid of it so this doesn't reoccur15:17
infinityRiddell: Seems fair enough to me, the UI will look nice enough without it.15:18
nigelb /ws 2015:18
nigelbgrar15:18
cjwatsonapw: yes, that's central to how d-i works15:23
apwcjwatson, thanks one day i'll learn enough to run away from it15:23
cjwatsonapw: the initrd only has enough bits to allow d-i to fetch more of itself15:23
cjwatsonit's like a base system15:23
apwyeah very logical when you have to have the rest on there anyhow15:23
cjwatsond-i has rough analogues (though much less capable) of dpkg and apt15:23
infinityapw: New kernel boots fine.15:30
apwinfinity, oh dear, thanks15:30
infinityapw: Did we really expect otherwise?15:31
apwinfinity, i try and not expect testing results one way or the other, tends to lead to madness15:31

seb128MacSlow, I would recommend you roll a tarball once you get those ready15:42

slangasekmhall119: so the idea is you're going to provide an SVG icon and want to know if we can put it in the package?15:43

infinityapw: So, where do we go from here?  Resurrect powerpc, or try to figure out how to make powerpc-smp work?15:44

smoserand i got a bug fixed in kvm locally, so i can load the "grub loader image"16:06
smoserand all seems well when I use the kvm -kernel <grub-image> with a partition'd disk image.16:06
smoserbut when i use it with a image of a partition (ie, with no partition table)16:06
smoseri see something like this:16:07
smoser http://paste.ubuntu.com/890852/16:07
smoserthat 'multibooting' comes from the grub image that is built via http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/vmbuilder/automated-ec2-builds/view/head:/mk-image-mb-loader16:08
cjwatsonsmoser: chances of looking right now: minimal - could I have a bug with full instructions on how I can reproduce this *without* having to spin up a full cloud toolchain and I'll queue it up?16:08
smoseri'm pretty sure the rescue prompt is coming from the core.img that has then been loaded.16:08
smosercjwatson, you really dont need anything other htan kvm  to reproduce.16:09
smoser(and download of a largish image)16:09
smoseri can do that.16:09
cjwatsonshouldn't it just be a grub-mkimage command to build the core.img?16:10
smoserbuild what core.img ?16:10
smoseryou mean rather than mk-image-mb-loader ?16:10
cjwatsonthe grub image you're talking about16:10
smoserwell there are 2 grub images :)16:11
cjwatsonsurely your script is basically just calling grub-mkimage with a load of options?16:11
smoseryes.16:11
smoserand that grub image then tries to find and load core.img from inside a disk16:12
cjwatsonoh right16:12
smoserits *that* one that i think is giving me the errors16:12
cjwatsonwell, the shorter the instructions the better but basically I will need something that can be run in a grub build tree without assuming that it's all packaged and installed16:13
smoserok. i can work on getting na nice bug gtogether.16:13
smoserbut once i'm in that rescue image, it likes to print16:14
smoser"error: no such partition."16:14
smoserie:16:14
smoser grub rescue> insmod (hd0)/boot/grub/echo.mod16:14

cr3how can I configure apport to create bugs on staging.launchpad.net?16:18

smoserso how tied is a core.img to a disk layout (partitioned or non-partitioned)16:22
pittino, it doesn't16:22
