| bluesabre | I don't know if any of you use Quickly, but there's a "Quickly Reboot" hangout happening now... http://developer.ubuntu.com/community/on-air/ | 16:07 |
| bluesabre | Also, on #quickly | 16:08 |
| kalxas | hi pleia2 :) | 18:56 |
| pleia2 | hey kalxas, I didn't get very far with testing last night but I see you've made some progress | 18:57 |
| kalxas | yes, I managed to install with success. The problem seems to be the user account I create during chroot (in order to trick the installer script to create some postgres data). After removing this user (or creating different username in installation) I can sign in the installed system | 18:59 |
| kalxas | thanks for taking the time to test :) | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | sure, I've never actually done a respin before so it's been fun, even if not very helpful ;) | 19:00 |
| kalxas | yes that help me understand debian/ubuntu systems better | 19:01 |
| * kalxas is openSUSE member | 19:01 | |
| pleia2 | my actual job is debian sysadmin, but we tend to use pretty vanilla base debian installs with our packages deployed after install | 19:02 |
| pleia2 | (makes our deployments much more portable for things like virtual machines we don't control, like linodes) | 19:03 |
| kalxas | I guess this kind of respin could help you deploy faster | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it has got me thinking | 19:03 |
| kalxas | before getting involved with osgeolive I was using susestudio for this kind of stuff | 19:04 |
| kalxas | it is very useful to create custom disks, I hand out such custom disks to my students with class related material | 19:05 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:05 | |
| kalxas | so I don't hear excuses like "it did not work on my pc" :D | 19:06 |
| kalxas | I am now trying to figure out why remastersys blocks mounting /run | 19:09 |
| kalxas | the remastersys developer says that I customized lightdm, which I did not do... | 19:09 |
| pleia2 | hrm | 19:10 |
| kalxas | I would definitely need some lightdm guru's opinion on that | 19:10 |
| kalxas | he also told me that he used xubuntu 12.04 for his initial testing of remastersys 3.0.x | 19:11 |
| * kalxas is stuck on this issue | 19:12 | |
| pleia2 | remastersys is the alternate method you were using previously, right? | 19:13 |
| kalxas | ye | 19:13 |
| kalxas | yes | 19:13 |
| kalxas | I had planned to switch to this chroot method for OSGeoLive 6.5 and stay to remastersys for 6.0 | 19:14 |
| kalxas | and I have a 6.0 release in 7 days | 19:14 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:15 | |
| kalxas | so it is not a good time to switch methods... | 19:15 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 19:15 |
| kalxas | there are over 50 geospatial application by the OSGeo foundation in it and all need testing if I change method | 19:16 |
| kalxas | it will bring me back to beta1 stage | 19:17 |
| kalxas | pleia2, thanks for listening to my problems :) | 19:18 |
| pleia2 | sure :) | 19:26 |
| kalxas | pleia2, since this remastersys issue seems to be lightdm related, could I easily change to gdm? | 21:30 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| pleia2 | kalxas: as I understand it, the switch from gdm to lightdm was a pretty big deal, so I don't think it would be easy | 22:33 |
| kalxas | basically I did an "apt-get install gdm" and I got a question if gdm should be the default manager | 22:42 |
| kalxas | so I selected gdm and now I am doing a new build to see if that works. | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | ah, I guess we'll see :) | 22:42 |
| kalxas | yes :) | 22:42 |
| kalxas | if it does not I will have to send out an e-mail to 50 projects to redo their tests | 22:43 |
| kalxas | on the chroot iso | 22:43 |
