psivaaReported bug 1059403 for quantal server upgrade failures, just in case it has not been noticed08:44
ubot2Launchpad bug 1059403 in update-manager "dist-upgrade.py returns 1 due to /var/log/dist-upgrade/* not found in P2Q server upgrades" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105940308:44
cjwatsonUpgrades => not this channel08:45
psivaacjwatson, ok thanks and apologies :), trying to find the right channel now08:49
cjwatsonThere's no specific channel for upgrades.08:50
cjwatson#ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-release if you don't feel that the standard rls-q-incoming tag is enough.08:51
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
psivaaahh ok, that bug is tagged rls-q-incoming08:57
ogra_xnox, imho bug 1008717 should be closed, if anyone sees it again he can re-open, no need to clutter the buglist with it09:36

xnoxogra_: ok.09:38
* ogra_ wonders if hggdh actually formatted the device instead of a partition in bug 102898309:39
ubot2Launchpad bug 1028983 in partman-base "armhf-omap4: a disk formatted with ext4 fails to mount with partman" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102898309:39
ogra_(i.e. there is no part table but a partition signature at the start of the device ... does partman handle such cases ? )09:41
cjwatsonIn theory, but it's not well-tested and pretty likely to break.09:43
ogra_k, i'll ask him about it ... and to worst case attach a dd of the first 1M of the device to the bug if he cant tell09:43
xnoxcjwatson: I have a VM up with USB passthrough for the bluetooth dongle. lsusb in the VM correctly shows "Camblidge Silicon Radio, Ltd Blueototh Dongle (HCI mode)" and blutoothd started and enabled adapter on /or/bluez/1122/hci012:32
xnoxbut there is no "bluetooth applet" that I can see or click. and nothing crashed so far.12:33
cjwatsonI doubt that that bug actually has anything much to do with the hardware anyway12:33
cjwatsonThe crash seems a bit early for that12:33
cjwatsonMight need to work with psivaa since apparently he can reproduce it ...12:33
xnoxwhy do we have bluetooth anyway?12:34
xnoxfor keyboards or sound or both? but I see no UI to pair things up.12:34
cjwatsonDunno, grep history12:34
xnoxubiquity-dm mode12:34
xnoxok12:34
xnox5 minutes later the bluetooth applet got spawned. and it works fine12:36
xnoxas per documentation.12:36
psivaacjwatson, xnox if this is about bug 1049215, i have not seen that crash lately, but i'll try if i can reproduce and update the bug13:19

cjwatsonpsivaa: Somebody attached it to an ISO test report from beta-2, apparently13:19
cjwatsonOtherwise I'd be inclined to discount it as unreproducible13:20
cjwatsonI assumed that was you13:20
psivaacjwatson, just a sec checking13:21
psivaacjwatson, for beta 2 it was jibel that reproduced this and added the bug to the tracker, i'll see if i could reproduce this13:24
jibelI couldn't reproduce this crash. I'd leave it incomplete until it expires or we find a reproducible test case.13:41
xnoxpsivaa: jibel: cool, thanks.13:43
jibelxnox, I have a very similar case to bug 1059570, installing to a brand new SSD. Ubiquity is responsive but installation never ends, the last command executed is /usr/share/grub-installer/grub-installer.14:06

jibelIt's reproducible, I ran an installation in debug mode and will file a new report.14:06

* xnox is actually not sure how the successful logs end. But 100 progress seems like that would be the end.14:20
stgraberoh, CIA died again?14:22
xnoxstgraber: cia.vc is dead forever. debian moved to self-hosted KGB which is in perl and doesn't support bzr.14:23
xnoxstgraber: I was thinking to add RSS-to-IRC notifications from bzr branches on launchpad. as RSS feeds are provided for all branches.14:23
stgraberyeah, that'd work and would also work better when not using bound branches14:24
stgraberI could add the feature to queuebot but then it'd really have to be renamed ;)14:24
xnoxstgraber: I was thinking a new bot with all lp:ubuntu/* branches going to #ubuntu-cia channel & then people could relay interesting branches to other channels as well. ~ cia style14:25
stgrabercjwatson: hey there. I got assigned https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-q-autocreate-preseed for this cycle but don't really have a clear idea of what's needed there exactly (sorry, only got around to that spec now, was pretty low on my todo list...)14:27
stgraberxnox: ubuntu/* won't quite work for all the installer branches though, but yeah, having a generic bot that you can poke and get into your channel watching some LP branches would be nice14:28
cjwatsonstgraber: it's basically a request for a program with a big pile of heuristics to generate a reasonable preseed file from an installed system14:28
stgraberxnox: if it's easy, it should probably have its own LP account and subscribe to e-mail notifications for the branches it's interested in, then you'd get proper "push" notifications and don't have to refresh all the RSS feeds every minute or so14:29
cjwatsonsince you can't just use debconf-get-selections --installer - e.g. partman preseeding will be totally wrong, there are a bunch of other things that shouldn't be preseeded, etc.14:29
stgrabercjwatson: ok, so essentially write something that takes debconf-get-selections, strips anything that's not actually set to something relevant, get rid of all the partman keys and output a preseed with the result?14:30
cjwatsonSomething like that14:30
cjwatsonI expect it'll be a big pile of special cases14:30
cjwatsonSince d-i debconf templates aren't really introspectable enough to let you do it all automatically14:31
stgraberyeah, definitely sounds like it... I'll put that on my todo and try to come up with something like that during the 6 hours car trip down to Maine.14:32
* cjwatson hopes you're not driving14:35
stgraberhaha, no, I have highvoltage for that ;) really, nobody would want to see me drive a car...14:39
jibelxnox, another recent report with same symptoms bug 105958414:46
ubot2Launchpad bug 1059584 in ubiquity "Ubiquity not finish installing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105958414:46
xnoxjibel: just quick questions: did you boot cd or usb? real hardware / VM? bios / uefi?14:46
* xnox can't figure it out from the logs quickly14:46
jibelxnox, USb created with dd on hardware and bios14:46
xnoxjibel: thanks.14:47
xnoxcjwatson: interesting... first time I see patch used in the install target ;-) I used to have a snippet to transverse sources/patches.d/$included-source/series and apply each series to sources/$included-source but it was when I had ~5 large tarball components and 30k of patch series.16:38
xnoxnot worth for a single patch ;-)16:38
xnoxbut looks good =)16:38
cjwatsonYeah, I was going to do it with sed but it was too complex16:38
cjwatsonI suspect in R I want to move all the d-i patches to quilt16:38
xnoxthat would be nice. =)16:43
xnoxI have partman.py run function refactoring for R-day016:43
xnoxas per earlier discussions.16:44
bdmurrayxnox: I believe bug 1047128 is a duplicate of bug 1055326 but is there more work in the former?18:17
ubot2Launchpad bug 1047128 in ubiquity "apt-install grub-efi, network lost while retrieving updated grub-efi packages" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104712818:17

cjwatsonSeparate code so I wouldn't advise duping those18:19
cjwatsonAnd I thought I'd already dealt with the /run bind-mount during grub-installer18:20
cjwatsonOh, beta-1.  I already fixed that, just different bug18:20
cjwatson  * Bind-mount /run while running grub-installer, so that the resolver works18:20
cjwatson    (LP: #1047550).18:20
cjwatsonubiquity 2.12.018:20
cjwatsonI'll dup18:21
bdmurraythanks18:24
stgrabercjwatson: if you have a minute, does http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254567/ looks reasonable to you? I'm trying to fix bug 89878719:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 898787 in ubiquity "(k|l|x)ubuntu 11.10 failed to install with error in install_misc.py assert cache._depcache.broken_count == 0" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/89878719:06
stgrabercjwatson: basically the function installing the langpacks ignores pretty much any exception it receives, the problem is that the python-apt code in ubiquity doesn't actually raise an exception but instead uses an assert which makes ubiquity fail completely19:07
stgraberI believe the change I'm making should make ubiquity fail in a similar way for all cases we care about but prevent any crash from happening when installing a langpack19:08
