| nm_geo | jmarsden getting the recursive fault on Lubuntu alternate iso testing too. | 02:14 |
|---|---|---|
| nm_geo | Lubuntu alternate powerpc iso that is. | 02:18 |
| jmarsden | nm_geo: OK, thanks, good to know it is not just me or my hardware... but BAD to get something like that show up so late in the cycle! | 02:22 |
| nm_geo | Yeah but at least we know it is the powerpc d-i | 02:23 |
| nm_geo | Can you get any logs that might help? | 02:24 |
| jmarsden | nm_geo: Not yet, was out of the house for a couple of hours, just got home again. I'm wondering if I need to try and set up a USB to serial connection and use a serial console on the Powerbook G4 to get more info that way... but I only seem to have one USb to serial, and I'd need two, one on the powerbook and one on the other PC capturing the info. | 02:28 |
| nm_geo | jmarsden I might be able to get to my d-i faulted install as I have another working install on my G4 | 02:32 |
| jmarsden | nm_geo: Oh, OK. Go for it. I've just been writing over a single "default" install that uses the entire disk on mine, so far. | 02:33 |
| nm_geo | jmarsden Guess I better keep my G4 just as it is and get a Bug filed against the debian installer on powerpc. | 02:35 |
| jmarsden | Go for it. I'll confirm the bug. | 02:37 |
| nm_geo | jmarsden Bug # 1066435 add any details you like | 02:56 |
| wxl | the alternate installer doesn't work?! ARGH | 03:50 |
| jmarsden | wxl: Do test and confirm this on your PPC hardware, but yes, that's what it looks like at this point. bug #1066435 | 03:55 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1066435 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "Debian-installer powerpc recursive fault" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1066435 | 03:55 |
| kanliot | does that bug appear in the vm? | 03:56 |
| kanliot | PPC vm? | 03:56 |
| wxl | dunno; why don't you check kanliot ? | 04:12 |
| kanliot | eh | 04:13 |
| wxl | anyways i had literally just made the suggestion that for nvidia we write documentation suggesting we install from alternate because basically desktop is pretty much useless. no boot parameters seem capable of fixing it | 04:15 |
| kanliot | there were instructinons on setting up qemu for PPC but I seem to have misplaced them... not that i'm suggesting that i'd do actual work here | 04:15 |
| wxl | they're on the wiki page silly | 04:16 |
| kanliot | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing/PPC%26Mac64 | 04:17 |
| kanliot | wxl you're more helpful than you realize | 04:17 |
| wxl | hah | 04:18 |
| kanliot | daily or final PPC | 04:25 |
| kanliot | i don't know the difference seriously | 04:25 |
| kanliot | why are they still making dailies if they are doing a release in a few days | 04:25 |
| kanliot | seems like they should be corraling bugs not doing development | 04:26 |
| kanliot | wxl? | 04:28 |
| wxl | i don't know frankly | 04:29 |
| kanliot | hmm will look at the bug they filed | 04:29 |
| wxl | i'm doing about 100% things at once here | 04:30 |
| kanliot | hmm all the final isos are rebuilding | 04:31 |
| kanliot | no idea why | 04:31 |
| jmarsden | New dailies at this stage will differ from final only be approved bug fixes, as far as I know. Noone is adding major new enhancements right now, final freeze is in effect. Se https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FinalFreeze | 04:31 |
| kanliot | thx very much jmarsden | 04:32 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. | 04:33 |
| jmarsden | kanliot: You can see notes on current rebuild triggers at http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-release -- just please be REALLY sure not to edit anything in there :) | 04:40 |
| kanliot | lol actually started typing into the pad after picking up wrong keyboard | 04:48 |
| kanliot | undo | 04:48 |
| kanliot | undo | 04:48 |
| kanliot | huh desktop iso PPC came up, took nearly 5 mins | 05:02 |
| kanliot | using alternate installer with PPC iso. seems to come up fine, asking me about keyboard layout | 05:25 |
| wxl | i thought it was alternate that was messed up? | 05:30 |
| wxl | i dunno how the op got 20121014 cuz it don't seem to be there | 05:32 |
| wxl | alternate is 20121012 | 05:32 |
| kanliot | it's possible i tested wrong version i donno | 05:32 |
| wxl | well i can't find a 20121014 anywhere | 05:34 |
| Noskcaj | does anyone think they will have the time to do the post-install tests for xubuntu because they need to get completed | 08:19 |

| ganges | Hello.. here's an image. http://imagebin.org/231909 | 15:57 |
| ganges | one can find a 'skip' button down where the installer details are found. | 15:58 |
| ganges | can someone plaese tell me what purpose it is supposed to serve? | 15:58 |
| ganges | because, when i clicked on it, the installer details were still showing. | 15:59 |
| phillw | ganges: from that image it looks greyed out. some steps can be skipped, others not. | 15:59 |
| phillw | I think telling the computer which keyboard you have is definately not a step to be skipped :) | 16:00 |
| ganges | phillw: sorry, i didn't get completely i guess.. | 16:00 |
| phillw | always good to ask when unsure :) | 16:00 |
| ganges | that 'skip' button appears after clicking on the greyed out portion and then you get to see those details down there in black box. | 16:01 |
| ganges | clicking on 'skip' has no effect though :) | 16:01 |
| ganges | i was wondering whether it's bug that needs to be reported. coz i noticed no action.. | 16:07 |
