[05:22] <howdy> hi.
[05:25] <howdy> i am wanting to dual boot 2 different versions of ubuntu 10 and 12. im fine with the first install but am a little confused when it comes to install the second. can anyone suggest where i can find info on dualbooting 2 ubuntu installs?
[08:12] <cjwatson> brendand: you'll have to tell me something about how those installs are set up
[08:14] <cjwatson> brendand: but possibly, looking at this, try preseeding 'd-i live-installer/net-image string http://10.189.84.1/enablement/cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/quantal-server-amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs'
[08:14] <cjwatson> I'm guessing a bit
[08:15] <brendand> cjwatson, should they be set up now in the same way as for desktop images?
[08:23] <cjwatson> brendand: I don't understand the question
[08:31] <brendand> cjwatson, you mentioned there was a change in the way server images installed - something about casper vs debootstrap?
[08:35] <cjwatson> casper -> red herring
[08:36] <cjwatson> so, what's happened is that the base system part of the server install is now done by mounting and copying a squashfs image, rather than by running debootstrap
[08:37] <cjwatson> it hasn't changed to a live install or anything - the rest of the install proceeds as normal
[08:37] <cjwatson> the temporary appearance of paths containing "casper" was a bug in the cdimage scripts
[08:43] <brendand> cjwatson, so i guess our preseeds would assume that debootstrap was being used
[08:44] <brendand> cjwatson, i can attach one to the bug if it helps
[08:44] <cjwatson> That's normally invisible to preseeding
[08:44] <cjwatson> Are you doing a cdrom-type install or a netboot-type install here?
[08:45] <brendand> cjwatson, oh - netboot, yes
[08:45] <cjwatson> I seem to recall that your setup is some kind of semi-supported mish-mash of the two ...
[08:45] <cjwatson> Don't you mount a CD and tell it to acquire from that over the network, or something?
[08:46] <brendand> pretty much
[08:47] <cjwatson> I've been complaining about that being unsupported ever since cr3 first set it up :)
[08:47] <cjwatson> So, normally, netboot installs would still use debootstrap
[08:51] <brendand> are the same set of images supported for netboot?
[08:51] <brendand> alpha-3 for example, where is that?
[08:52] <cjwatson> But because you're acquiring udebs from a server CD, it picks live-installer instead
[08:52] <cjwatson> So, if you want that to work, you have to preseed live-installer/net-image as above
[08:52] <cjwatson> Testing netboot would involve taking a snapshot of the archive

[16:21] <bdmurray> are the scrollbars in the slidewhow in bug 1032178 an issue with ubiquity or the slideshow itself?
