jamespagebabyface, would you be interested in learning how to diagnose failures with the ec2 tests?07:38
babyfacejamespage,  I'm afraid I dont have that much efforts due to I have to handle all the failures on the iso and upgrade test on quantal and precise.  but anyway,  if you have any stuff(wikis, docs...) on ec2 test, you can share with me , I wanna learn more things when I'm not that busy07:41
jamespagebabyface, hmm - well I took a look at the test failures you reported above07:41
jamespageits only around 2 failures of the 30 or so test cases run07:41
jamespagesome are related to not being able to access launchpad for some reason07:42
jamespageand the others are ec2 related - i.e. something odd going on the in the ec2 infrastructure itself07:42
babyface  jamespage    you mean this one?  bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for https://xmlrpc.launchpad.net/bazaar/: Unable to handle http code 502: Bad Gateway ,  ok, that's a test environment issue,  next time, when I met this kind of error, I will wait for the result of next run07:43
jamespageyes - we get that sort of transient issue from time to time07:44
jamespagegenerally if the majority of tests are passing and you see one or two failures its one of these two issues07:44
jamespagetrends are more interesting - i.e. a single arch failing across the board, a single instance type failing across the board07:45
Kartagisdo I have to reboot my computer to be able to install a vm? I've installed xen07:48

AlphaWolfI'm trying to extend the partition my install is on, and I messed it up last time. I've tried GParted but I get the error "Cannot have a partition out the disk!". Here's my current output: http://pastebin.com/A95tkvzw I only need the data on the last 2 partitions (5th is / and 6th is /swap). Also, I have full backups now :)10:57
* xnox ponders to suggest wipe them all and restore from backup.10:59
xnoxAlphaWolf: disks are linear. You now have "small partition"-> loads of empty space -> "partition" -> "linux" -> "swap"11:02
xnoxAlphaWolf: what you want in gparted is to Move the partition from current location to the "loads of empty space"11:02
xnoxit will only be possible to extend it up to the "partition"11:03
xnoxunless you create LVM out of "Loads of empty space"11:03
xnoxmove your install there11:03
xnoxand then add the space where "linux" is currently on to the LVM.11:03
xnoxto use both for the LVM11:03
xnoxplease note your install will not boot from LVM, unless you chroot into it and modify it to support LVM.11:04
AlphaWolfxnox: If I were to just wipe it, is it best to do a re-install (re-formatting during install) and then restore, or wipe and restore? It sounds like that's harder to mess up!11:04
xnoxAlphaWolf: no, because wiping everything will remove the other W95 partition you preserved.11:05
xnoxAlphaWolf: a single partition cannot "jump" a partition in the middle of the disk.11:06
xnoxAnd /dev/sda4       251138097   312590879    30726391+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)11:06
xnoxis in the middle of nowhere.11:06
xnoxWhat is /dev/sda4 ? is it actually real11:06
xnoxbecause it overlaps with /dev/sda511:06
xnoxI'd delete /dev/sda4 and then move the linux partition with Gparted or simply dd to the beginning of the free space11:07
xnoxand extended up-to swap.11:07
xnoxthen resize filesystem and you are done.11:07
AlphaWolfI'm not too sure, it was created when I installed Ubuntu Server.11:08
AlphaWolfI know it's an "extended" partition11:08
AlphaWolfGParted does not show my partition table though, which I guess is to do with it being incorrect11:13
sorenxnox: sda4 is an extended partition. DOS partition tables only allow 4 partitions. To overcome this limitation, a primary partition can be desginated an "extended" partition which in turn can be split into a bunch of "logical" partitions.11:14
sorenLogical partitions are the ones numbered 5 and up on Linux.11:14
sorenfdisk always shows it this way.11:15
soren(i.e. the extended partition spans the logical ones)11:15
xnoxsoren: aha. /me uses GPT for the past 6 years.11:16
xnoxsoren: AlphaWolf: but you have deleted two primary partitions.11:17
xnoxsoren: can you convert extended into primary?11:17
sorenxnox: You trend setter, you.11:17
sorenxnox: I think you can make an extended partition primary instead, but it's a wee bit delicate.11:17
soren(like everything else that involves fiddling with you partition table)11:18
xnoxsoren: it's fine AlphaWolf has backups =)11:18
sorenJust delete the logical partitions and the extended one and make a new primary one that has the same start and end as the logical one it's meant to replace had.11:18
sorenI'm not sure why, though?11:19
AlphaWolfSo basically extend partition 1 and then move the data to it?11:22

cr3roaksoax: once you actually work around to downloading the filesystem.squashfs, the installation proceeds nicely until the end. but, when the system reboots, there's no kernel in /boot/vmlinuz-* so the system just boots into memtest86 because grub finds no other sensible boot option21:27
