| cjwatson | Laney: ah - regression due to the awkward config kludge that's in place to mediate between shell and python during the transition. I've updated the whitelist so it should work now; retrying | 08:40 |

| Laney | popey reported that he got a rescue shell in #-uk | 09:05 |
| Laney | not sure if that turned into a bug | 09:05 |

| cjwatson | popey: on multiple-disk machines I normally advise installing GRUB to the MBRs of all the disks to avoid confusion | 09:07 |
| popey | cjwatson, well, i had to change the boot order in bios to make it boot | 09:07 |
| cjwatson | excellent sign of user error, yes :) | 09:07 |
| popey | :) | 09:07 |
| Laney | heh | 09:07 |
| cjwatson | sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 09:07 |

| cjwatson | continue through all the other prompts, and select the MBRs of all non-removable disks when prompted for where to install GRUB | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | err | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | sudo DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 09:08 |
| popey | still doesnt | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | I didn't say it would | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | but it should provide a debugging trace | 09:08 |
| popey | ah :D | 09:09 |
| cjwatson | (if a command with extra debugging changes behaviour, that would be a surprise in itself!) | 09:09 |
| popey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1204378 | 09:09 |
| cjwatson | odd. let me clear out a few other things and then have a proper look | 09:10 |
| popey | ta | 09:10 |
| Laney | what should the prefix be? | 09:11 |
| Laney | (something)/boot/grub? | 09:11 |
| cjwatson | on my system it's (hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub. you can tab-complete the first bit | 09:12 |
| cjwatson | (well, or any of it really) | 09:13 |
| Laney | "file not found" | 09:13 |
| Laney | a possibly pertinent piece of information is that this is a macbook pro (with rEFIt) | 09:13 |
| cjwatson | oh, of course, you can't tab-complete while the prefix is busted | 09:14 |
| cjwatson | should still be possible to set a correct one though - you might have to guess | 09:14 |
| cjwatson | 'ls' should work I think | 09:15 |
| Laney | (hd0,gpt4) is the only one that doesn't give me unknown filesystem | 09:15 |
| Laney | and that is file not found | 09:15 |
| cjwatson | hmm | 09:16 |
| cjwatson | might be worth reinstalling grub from a live image as per my mail to -devel, and debugging from there | 09:16 |
| Laney | ok | 09:16 |
| cjwatson | oh, heh, core.img moved | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | popey: this'll involve a new upload to fix up dpkg-reconfigure - can you manage in the interim? | 09:26 |
| popey | yeah, its fine | 09:26 |
| * xnox was on the safe side and manually run grub-install & --recheck a few times before rebooting... | 09:28 | |

| Laney | could it be me? | 09:36 |
| cjwatson | oh, d-i was rebuilt, just not by me :) | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | ok, so maybe that makes a degree of sense | 09:37 |

| Laney | cjwatson: ok, looks like I was installing to a partition. After downgrading and installing 1.99 properly, it upgraded fine. | 10:30 |
| cjwatson | hm, ok; seems a bit non-ideal though | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | installing to a partition is fairly common among Mac users | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | how big is /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | ? | 10:31 |
| Laney | when it was broken I was getting errors that grub-install couldn't find that | 10:32 |
| Laney | let's see | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | would be easier to see all the errors than to play twenty questions, then :) | 10:33 |
| Laney | didn't record it all, I'm afraid | 10:36 |
| Laney | but that one was: | 10:36 |
| Laney | # grub-install /dev/sda | 10:36 |
| Laney | source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory | 10:36 |
| Laney | core.img is 26393 | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | uname -m, and does /sys/firmware/efi exist? | 10:40 |
| Laney | x86_64, and no it doesn't | 10:41 |
| cjwatson | might you have been booted in EFI mode when you previously ran grub-install? | 10:41 |
| Laney | however now yopu mention | 10:41 |
| Laney | yes | 10:41 |
| Laney | that was the option offered to me | 10:41 |
| cjwatson | looks like the current grub-install uses the x86_64-efi platform if booted in EFI mode | 10:41 |
| cjwatson | which seems kind of sane | 10:41 |
| cjwatson | but if you only have grub-pc installed then that won't work | 10:42 |
| cjwatson | option offered> when booting an image you mean, or something else? | 10:42 |
| Laney | yes | 10:43 |
| Laney | it presented the USB drive as "EFI device" or something like that | 10:43 |
| cjwatson | usually dual-capable BIOSes offer both | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | but who knows about insane Macs | 10:47 |
| Laney | perhaps there is a way | 10:47 |
| Laney | anyway it's a separate issue to the initial problem | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | so maybe grub-install needs to fall back to i386-pc if x86_64-efi isn't installed | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | yeah, but the more confusion I can fix the better | 10:50 |
| Laney | I wonder if OSX still boots | 10:51 |
| === mmrazik|lunch is now known as mmrazik | ||
| xnox | well rEFIt should have offered both options: bios & PC boot..... | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | bios *is* PC boot, I hope | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | ym efi and pc boot? | 11:42 |
| xnox | yes efi & PC boot | 11:42 |
| xnox | rEFIt often is confused on grub upgrade, especially if you manage to install it on both sda & sda4 | 11:43 |
| xnox | e.g. partition and mbr. One will work while the other one will always give a fizzy fit. | 11:43 |
| Laney | It offers to boot "Legacy OS", but it doesn't work. Just boots from the hard drive. | 11:53 |
| Laney | and Mac OS does still work. happy days | 11:53 |
| cjwatson | I suspect legacy OS just chainloads the MBR or something | 11:53 |
| Laney | I don't know what it does, but it's only there when the USB drive is present | 11:54 |
| Laney | hm, is it intentional that the grub menu has no timeout now? | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | No | 11:56 |
| cjwatson | But are you testing in kvm here? | 11:56 |
| Laney | no, the mac | 11:56 |
| cjwatson | Dunno then | 11:56 |
| cjwatson | Bug me | 11:56 |
| Laney | let me check I didn't accidently press a key | 11:56 |
| Laney | ah, it was recordfail | 12:08 |
| cjwatson | oh, by no timeout you mean "sits there" not "boots without waiting" | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | yeah, likely recordfail | 12:11 |

| cjwatson | I expect it's true | 14:18 |
| cjwatson | grub2 is a transitional package - you probably have either grub-pc or grub-efi-amd64 installed, depending on details of the platform | 14:18 |

| === Ursula is now known as Ursinha | ||
| iulian | zentyal is poorly maintained at the moment I must say. It'd be nice if bencer could take more care of it. | 16:08 |
| bencer | iulian: why do you think is poorly maintained? | 16:09 |
| iulian | bencer: Because of the issue we've got now. | 16:10 |
| bencer | iulian: i think is explained in the issue, we didn't reach the freeze with the package ready | 16:10 |
| bencer | and we were focused on upstream bugfixing rather than uploading broken ubuntu packages | 16:11 |
| bencer | now packages are ready | 16:11 |
| bencer | i don't see the problem uploading now | 16:11 |
| bencer | seriously, blocking this only makes having a broken package status | 16:12 |
| bencer | instead of allowing to upload a new package which is compatible with the other ones already in the archive | 16:12 |
| iulian | bencer: I was having comment #10, paragraph 2 in my mind when I said that. You were supposed to test the packages before uploading to the archive. | 16:13 |
| iulian | But that's not important now. It's been done already. | 16:13 |
| bencer | iulian: yes, i know, the upload was a bit messy, you are right | 16:14 |
| bencer | but was also my first upload, i didnt make everything perfect first time, i've realized about my mistakes there | 16:14 |
| jamespage | iulian, zentyal has certainly suffered over the last few releases, but bencer is trying to step up to make things better | 16:21 |
| jamespage | but he is new to alot of the processes - how can we move this forwards? | 16:21 |
| iulian | jamespage: Very happy to hear that. I've just approved it now. | 16:23 |
| jamespage | iulian, much appreciated | 16:24 |
| iulian | I hope it doesn't break anything else. There are loads of new features in there. | 16:24 |
| bencer | just to confirm, we can upload new packages containing *only bugfixes* without ffe and until the final freeze, right? | 16:25 |
| bencer | thanks a lot iulian & jamespage | 16:25 |
| tumbleweed | bencer: yes | 16:25 |
| iulian | bencer: Correct. | 16:25 |
| bencer | ok, one more question | 16:26 |
| bencer | these latest packages 2.3.x packages containing only bugfixes | 16:26 |
| bencer | have been renamed to 3.0 | 16:26 |
| tumbleweed | the version isn't important, it's the content | 16:26 |
| bencer | when we released the stable yesterday, should be okey to upload the packages with the 3.0 version number, or we should stick to 2.3? | 16:26 |
| bencer | ok, cool, then going to upload the ones approved on this ffe, and i will upload the new 3.0 after that, before the final freeze | 16:27 |
| bencer | thanks everybody! | 16:27 |
| iulian | bencer: That's fine. Make sure to update your Depends as well. :) | 16:27 |
| bencer | sure | 16:28 |
| tumbleweed | bencer: it usually makes sense to close the bug from the upload | 16:43 |
| bencer | tumbleweed: yup, just i got aware of that | 16:43 |
| bencer | going to close manually and i will take that in account in the future | 16:43 |
