[08:56] <jibel> xnox, have your fixes to geoname been pushed to production ?
[08:56] <xnox> jibel: no, not yet.
[08:57] <jibel> xnox, ok, I'll wait before filing new bugs. any ETA ?
[08:57] <xnox> jibel: the priority has been bumped twice. And the comment on the comment on the bug report about "geoname lookups" fixed, I think is bogus.
[08:57] <xnox> jibel: please file bugs, cause I am running a local instance and can test with new database.
[08:58] <xnox> jibel: no ETA as far as I know.
[08:58] <xnox> jibel: RT #55554 if you want to follow =)
[08:58] <jibel> xnox, thanks :)

[09:37] <xnox> Is there a CIA commits replacement that we can use?!

[09:46] <cjwatson> Probably best just don't worry about it for now

[10:54] <xnox> woohoo. fixed bzr-cia. Submitting merge proposal
[10:58] <cjwatson> oh, it wasn't a server-side bug?
[10:58] <cjwatson> d'oh, assumptions
[10:59] <xnox> cjwatson: s|cia.navi.cx|cia.vc| apparently bzr-cia was using "deprecated" host name
[11:00] <cjwatson> Ah
[11:00] <cjwatson> It looked exactly like previous occasions where the server was transiently down
[11:01] <xnox> jelmer merged the fix, so bzr pull =)
[11:08] <cjwatson> I use the packaged version
[11:15] <xnox> i just have many checkouts in bazaar/plugins/
[11:16] <xnox> cjwatson: I see there was/is automated GUI testing for ubiquity. Is it still available? And can I run it manually?
[11:18] <cjwatson> Not sure exactly what you mean
[11:19] <cjwatson> There's the test suite
[11:19] <cjwatson> Beyond that I have no idea
[11:19] <xnox> the ATK based Linux Desktop Testing project, to actually click the gui buttons
[11:19] <xnox> or something like that
[11:20] <cjwatson> I was never involved in that and I don't know how far it got
[11:20] <cjwatson> Or who was doing it
[11:21] <xnox> hmmm....

[12:25] <CIA-4> ubiquity: Also used pylint to find check for undefined/missing attributes in the
[12:25] <CIA-4> ubiquity: ubi-partman.py. Needs integration into build system.
[12:25] <cjwatson> Really?  Last I looked pylint had so many FPs it wasn't worth it
[12:25] <cjwatson> Maybe try pocketlint instead?
[12:29] <xnox> cjwatson: yeah it does generate a lot of noise but with little help from grep&sed it would have caught last two bug-fix uploads =/
[12:29] <xnox> which i have now quickly run manually.
[12:31] <cjwatson> Fair enough
[18:26] <ffeldhaus> Hi, we are currently deploying a large compute cluster with Ubuntu. The nodes are diskless and we run everything from the central (powerful) NFS server. The installation of Ubuntu is a bit of a struggle as we didn't find a way to install it to an NFS root. Are there any suggestions how to install Ubuntu directly on NFS for diskless servers?
[19:59] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: I think you should look into documentation about installing ltsp server
[19:59] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: that is usually done using the edubuntu cd or the alternative cd
[19:59] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: this is the way to use thin clients
[20:00] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: although you want servers.....
[20:00] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: look into / google for debian-installer pre-seeding nfsroot installations.
[20:10] <ffeldhaus1> I don't think the LTSP way would work as we would need a running Ubuntu for that
[20:11] <ffeldhaus1> the general setup is, that we are using Foreman to deploy new servers and do unattended installations on the servers. Afterwards we configure the servers using puppet manifests
[20:11] <ffeldhaus1> the unattended installations should go straight to the nfsroot and not onto a local disk
[20:12] <ffeldhaus1> as far as I understand the debian-installer it is currently not possible to tell it, to install to an nfsroot
[20:15] <xnox> ffeldhaus1: you need to boot the installer the right way and do network/pxeboot with pre-seeding
[20:15] <xnox> first google results shows how to use it
[20:15] <xnox> http://www.jukie.net/bart/blog/nfsroot-on-debian
[20:20] <ffeldhaus1> if I understand that post correctly, they are using debootstrap to install the OS. We already found that and it might work,but it requires another server with installed OS to run the debootstrap utility
[20:24] <ffeldhaus1> I just thought it would be possible to use the existing preseed files to get the Ubuntu system up and running similar to the way I would do it for installation on a local disk
