cjwatsonjibel: Has bug 1059619 been reproducible with any image since 2012-10-08?  I have a suspicion that an image-building change may have avoided it.11:54
ubot2Launchpad bug 1059619 in grub-installer "Installation hangs on: grub-mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/os-prober/mount" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105961911:54
cjwatsonWhich would be nice.11:55
jibelcjwatson, I haven't reproduced it with yesterdays and todays images on i386 and amd64 and the 2 machines I had this problem. I'll close it.12:14
cjwatsonYay12:15
cjwatsonxnox: Is the udisks2 port of usb-creator still happening?12:16
xnoxcjwatson: I didn't start it. Did read a bit about udisks2. Something needs to happen: e.g. wrap usb-creator to startup udisks1 bus... or port to udisks2.12:17
xnoxas far as I can see, usb-creator is not usable in quantal right now.12:17
bdmurrayxnox: barry and I were able to use usb-creator in quantal15:59
cjwatsonI think it depends a bit on whether udisks-daemon manages to start, doesn't it?16:00
xnoxbdmurray: interesting. I wasn't. I got "error communicating" with something over dbus...16:00
stgrabercjwatson: well, I was really hoping not to have to write that preseed generator in perl, but it turned out to be the easiest way to do it (based on debconf-get-selections). I'm getting something that looks reasonable generated now. Will do some tests this afternoon.16:00
xnoxstgraber: \0/16:01
stgrabercjwatson: I'm basically skipping any entry where the current value is identical to the default value and I'm skipping all partman-* keys16:01
cjwatsonNeat.  I suspect it will need a bit more fine-tuning than that, though - you'll probably want to go over it rather carefully against the installation-guide16:01
stgraberthat gives me a 50 lines long preseed file for a standard server install with just ssh selected in tasksel, so that seems reasonable16:01
xnoxstgraber: curious about skipping partman-* keys. can we not select some partman-auto key there?16:02
stgrabercjwatson: yeah, the blacklist should be flexible enough to block any other yet we want. Already spotted a few more.16:02
stgraberxnox: the plan for the initial implementation was not to touch partman, for the final implementation we'll probably want at least partman-auto to work16:03
stgraberxnox: not sure how easily we can reconstruct a reasonable recipe post-install though, so manual may remain unsupported16:03
* xnox was pondering about "partman" mini-settings: default to ext4/xfs/btrfs/crypto/lvm/raid.16:03
xnoxcause apparently partman is the hardest bit in pre-seeding, especially all the various confirm questions partman asks much depending on what happens to be there on the installed system.16:05
cjwatsonpartman/default_filesystem does the fs default16:05
cjwatsonkickseed just slams in a bunch of confirm preseeds16:06
cjwatsonyou could check what it does16:06
bdmurraycjwatson: so I found 2 ubiquity bugs with the fixed version of apt and using ubiquity 2.12.5 where there was an error message from pluginstall regarding 'Problem with MergeList'17:20
bdmurrayI was wondering if there were any changes in ubiquity that might have dealt with apt lists17:22
bdmurrayone of them is bug 106326117:23
ubot2Launchpad bug 1063261 in ubiquity "Ubuntu12.10 Installer crashed - "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1705, in <module>" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106326117:23
cjwatsonI don't think it touches apt lists directly17:24
cjwatsonFully booked right now though17:24
