[11:48] 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] first step is to file a bug [11:49] preferably using ubuntu-bug which will attach all logs [11:50] can someone tell me what "status, data =resp, '' "does do in python? why does afterwards "status" contain the value ''? [11:50] (theoretically a crashed installer should already offer you an ability to file a bug automatically though) [11:50] (depending on the kind of install you did, desktop definitely does) [11:55] I think it didn't file a bugreport since it didn't crash, there's only an error from python. [11:56] 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] what commandline should I use with ubuntu-bug for the installer? [12:27] "ubuntu-bug debian-installer" i would guess [12:29] nope. [12:31] with "ubiquity" it works though. [12:32] so use that :) [12:38] 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] 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] strange, no .manifest files ? [13:28] ok, I filed Bug #1029443, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1029445 [13:28] Ubuntu bug 1029445 in ubiquity "program error in debconf.py after UserInfo step" [Undecided,New] [13:28] Launchpad bug 1029443 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[gm45] False GPU lockup EIR: 0x00000010 PGTBL_ER: 0x00000001 IPEHR: 0x79050004" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1029443 [13:32] sorry, wrong digit. what a useful ubot2. so it was Bug #1029445 [13:32] Launchpad bug 1029445 in ubiquity "program error in debconf.py after UserInfo step" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1029445 [13:33] can anyone help me tracking that bug?
