[09:07] <tasslehoff> Alternate cd: after creating a logical, encrypted partition, I want to select said partition and "Use as physical volume for LVM", but I get "In use as physical volume for encrypted volume sda5_crypt".
[09:07] <tasslehoff> where did I go wrong? has something changed with 12.04. I follow a recipe that worked on 11.10
[09:07] <tasslehoff> gah. users are losers. sorry
[09:09] <xnox> tasslehoff: you sorted? activate the encrypted volume, then select the crypt volume as physical volume for the LVM
[10:07] <tasslehoff> xnox: I'm sorted. thanks :)
[10:24] <xnox> cia is broken =(
[10:24] <xnox> releasing version 2.11.24

[14:04]  * xnox wishes debconf was more like modern translation systems
[20:59] <cr3> anyone happen to know how to extract a data.tar.xz file as contained in the live-installer udeb?
[21:00] <xnox> cr3: unxz ?
[21:00] <cr3> nevermind, the file command where the udeb was located just returned that it contains "data" whereas newer system was more useful. all good now :)
[21:00] <xnox> ok
[21:01] <cr3> xnox: thanks, I used xzcat data.tar.xz | tar -xf -
[21:01] <xnox> cr3: tar speaks compression; tar -xaf *.tar.*
[21:02] <cr3> xnox: nice! any particular reason for using xz instead of gz or bzip2?
[21:02] <xnox> cr3: google for it. it compresses better than gz or bzip2
[21:04] <cr3> xnox: interesting, I thought we'd reached perfection with bzip2 :)
[21:05] <xnox> xz has options from -1 to -9 with extreme/normal/etc strategies as well as cpu specific optimisations
[21:06] <xnox> i though BlueRay & HD was the end of Digital video, only for 3D to come around
[21:07] <cr3> I've been trying to install the latest quantal server image over the network, which now has a filesystem.squashfs, but after working around bug #1042906 there is no /boot/vmlinuz* file so the system reboots into memtest86. Any ideas what might be wrong?
[21:07] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1042906 in live-installer "live-installer/net-image cannot fetch-url to unexisting /tmp/live-installer directory" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1042906
[21:22] <xnox> Daviey: ^^^^^ cr3 any help?
[21:23] <xnox> cr3: interesting. I am not an expert, and experts are not around. You can try #ubuntu-server
[21:24] <cr3> xnox, Daviey: I asked about MaaS support for the latest quantal server image, I expect them to have the same problem assuming they will be installing from the filesystem.squashfs file for super fast deployment
[21:24] <Daviey> There are even fewer experts there. :)
[21:24] <xnox> Daviey: ok =)
[21:24] <cr3> xnox: yeah, I asked in #ubuntu-server but I ended up answering a question instead :)
[21:24] <Daviey> cr3: roaksox is working on it right now.. but yeah, #-server is better
[21:24] <xnox> Daviey: I need to go. But maybe you can look into above linked bug =)
[21:24] <Daviey> will try
[21:24] <xnox> see ya =)
[21:25] <cr3> Daviey: see you in #ubuntu-server then, I'll talk about the bug there
