| cjwatson | jibel: 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 |

| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1059619 in grub-installer "Installation hangs on: grub-mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/os-prober/mount" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1059619 | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | Which would be nice. | 11:55 |
| jibel | cjwatson, 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 |
| cjwatson | Yay | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | xnox: Is the udisks2 port of usb-creator still happening? | 12:16 |
| xnox | cjwatson: 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 |
| xnox | as far as I can see, usb-creator is not usable in quantal right now. | 12:17 |
| bdmurray | xnox: barry and I were able to use usb-creator in quantal | 15:59 |
| cjwatson | I think it depends a bit on whether udisks-daemon manages to start, doesn't it? | 16:00 |
| xnox | bdmurray: interesting. I wasn't. I got "error communicating" with something over dbus... | 16:00 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: 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 |
| xnox | stgraber: \0/ | 16:01 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: I'm basically skipping any entry where the current value is identical to the default value and I'm skipping all partman-* keys | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | Neat. 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-guide | 16:01 |
| stgraber | that gives me a 50 lines long preseed file for a standard server install with just ssh selected in tasksel, so that seems reasonable | 16:01 |
| xnox | stgraber: curious about skipping partman-* keys. can we not select some partman-auto key there? | 16:02 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: yeah, the blacklist should be flexible enough to block any other yet we want. Already spotted a few more. | 16:02 |
| stgraber | xnox: the plan for the initial implementation was not to touch partman, for the final implementation we'll probably want at least partman-auto to work | 16:03 |
| stgraber | xnox: not sure how easily we can reconstruct a reasonable recipe post-install though, so manual may remain unsupported | 16:03 |
| * xnox was pondering about "partman" mini-settings: default to ext4/xfs/btrfs/crypto/lvm/raid. | 16:03 | |
| xnox | cause 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 |
| cjwatson | partman/default_filesystem does the fs default | 16:05 |
| cjwatson | kickseed just slams in a bunch of confirm preseeds | 16:06 |
| cjwatson | you could check what it does | 16:06 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: 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 |
| bdmurray | I was wondering if there were any changes in ubiquity that might have dealt with apt lists | 17:22 |
| bdmurray | one of them is bug 1063261 | 17:23 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1063261 in ubiquity "Ubuntu12.10 Installer crashed - "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1705, in <module>" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1063261 | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | I don't think it touches apt lists directly | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | Fully booked right now though | 17:24 |
