sorenWhere is "in-target" defined?08:21
cjwatsonsoren: debian-installer-utils08:24
sorencjwatson: Ah. Thanks!08:28
sorenHm... That's weird. I'm setting a proxy in my preseed, but for a particular request in  my late_command, I need to not use the proxy. I'm doing this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/945349/08:30
sorenSo, running: http_proxy= https_proxy= in-target wget -O /home/localadmin/.ssh/authorized_keys http://172.20.231.32/jenkins.pub08:30
soren..but somehow wget still uses the proxy.08:31
sorenI was expecting in-target would reveal why that would be, but I'm a bit lost.08:31
sorenOh!08:32
sorenchroot-setup.sh helpfully ensures that http_proxy is set.08:32
soren(and in-target sources chroot-setup.sh)08:32
cjwatsonin-target env -u http_proxy -u https_proxy ...08:35
sorenin-target http_proxy= https_proxy= [...] won't do?08:36
sorenI guess I'll know in about 6 minutes.08:37
soren:)08:37
cjwatsonno08:40
cjwatsonshell doesn't chain that way08:40
cjwatsonIOW $ sudo chroot /chroot/sid http_proxy= env08:41
cjwatsonchroot: failed to run command `http_proxy=': No such file or directory08:41
cjwatsonfor basically that reason - you can't pass variable assignments direct to execvp, the shell has to translate08:41
sorenI just wasn't sure if chroot execvp'd or ran a shell.08:43
sorenI guess such smarts (execvp'ing if passed a pathname, calling a shell if not) don't belong in chroot.08:44
sorenYup. Just failed.08:45
jibelev, the selection of the users in m-a behaves very strangely09:01
evoh?09:02
jibelev, here is a sequence of selection/deselection of the 2 users http://paste.ubuntu.com/945380/09:02
jibelev, 0=jibel, 1 =ubuntu09:02
jibelfor the 1rst user in the list selected state and state of the checkbox are inverted but the list of items to sync is always correct (empty or all)09:07
jibelfor the second user it is different09:07
jibelfirst click on the user, selected state and items are correctly set09:07
jibelbut on second click (uncheck) the selected state is still True while items to sync are emptied09:08
jibeland then next clicks, checkbox state and selected are inverted09:09
evI'll have a look in a bit09:15
evcheers for the investigation09:15
bdmurraycjwatson: is there enough information in bug 987956 to understand what happened?17:03
ubot2Launchpad bug 987956 in ubiquity "Installer Deletes Contents from Separate HOME partition without WARNING!" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/98795617:03
cjwatsonI'm afraid I'm not sure17:07
cjwatsonIt has the usual logs17:07
cjwatsonHas anyone tested the scenario he describes?17:07
cjwatsoni.e. choosing to mount home but not format it17:08
* cjwatson starts off test installs to see17:10
bdmurraycjwatson: I haven't tested his exact setup yet17:12
cjwatsonclear_partitions *looks* right in this situation to me17:16
tasslehoffWill any of the Ubuntu installers let me unlock and install to an already encrypted LVM volume?17:27
tasslehoffI know the fedora installer handles it, but haven't seen it in any earlier Ubuntu installers.19:04
cjwatsonOne moment19:05
cjwatsonThe alternate or server install CD in Ubuntu >= 11.10 should allow it, via "Configure encrypted volumes" -> "Activate existing encrypted volumes"19:06
cjwatsonSee bug 42008019:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 420080 in partman-crypto "Configure encrypted volumes destroys existing data" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42008019:06
tasslehoffcjwatson: great. thanks.19:06
cjwatsonbdmurray: Well, I tried a straightforward test install of 11.10 with separate /home (/ and /home both ext4), created an empty file /home/cjwatson/x, then installed 12.04 over the top asking it to reuse the existing /home without formatting (using manual partitioning); /home/cjwatson/x was still there after the installation19:13
cjwatsonbdmurray: So whatever it is, it isn't universal ... I'll try to think of how we could narrow this down19:14
cjwatsonIt's not encrypted home19:14
cjwatsonAt least judging from ubiquity removing ecryptfs-utils in th elog19:14
cjwatson*the log19:14
bdmurraycjwatson: I read that he'd chosen a side by side install19:14
cjwatsonDoesn't look like it19:15
cjwatsonThere are the same number of partitions at the start and end of the partman log, with the same sizes19:15
cjwatsonPretty certain he used manual partitioning and asked it to reformat the previous /19:15
bdmurrayah, I see19:17
