[11:48] <p_> trying to find out why my installation failed. can someone help me? I know nothing about python. syslog reports a traceback for the python files.
[11:49] <ogra_> first step is to file a bug
[11:49] <ogra_> preferably using ubuntu-bug which will attach all logs
[11:50] <p_> can someone tell me what "status, data =resp, '' "does do in python? why does afterwards "status" contain the value ''?
[11:50] <ogra_> (theoretically a crashed installer should already offer you an ability to file a bug automatically though)
[11:50] <ogra_> (depending on the kind of install you did, desktop definitely does)
[11:55] <p_> I think it didn't file a bugreport since it didn't crash, there's only an error from python.
[11:56] <ogra_> pastebin the syslog from the install then so someone can take a look ... if there are fatal errors the installer usually stops though
[12:20] <p_> what commandline should I use with ubuntu-bug for the installer?
[12:27] <ogra_> "ubuntu-bug debian-installer" i would guess
[12:29] <p_> nope.
[12:31] <p_> with "ubiquity" it works though.
[12:32] <ogra_> so use that :)
[12:38] <jibel_> how can I check which version of debian-installer is used for a specific image ? for example I want to check which version is in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily/20120726/precise-alternate-amd64.iso
[12:39] <jibel_> the problem is that precise dailies failed with an usual no kernel modules found, it should be fixed with d-i 20101020ubuntu136.2 uploaded yesterday, but todays are failing again.
[12:56] <brendand> strange, no .manifest files ?
[13:28] <p_> ok, I filed Bug #1029443, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1029445

[13:33] <p_> can anyone help me tracking that bug?
[13:36] <p_> I repeat my question:  what does "status, data =resp, '' " do in python? why does afterwards "status" contain the empty value ''?
[15:07] <p_> I filed my next bugreport: Bug #1029488, probably related to the previous one.
