| psivaa | cjwatson: xnox: i come across an ubiquity crash during raring installations, but apport does not lead me to report a bug from the it. should i enable/do anything for that | 12:45 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | psivaa: did you get a crash dialog at all? | 12:48 |
| xnox | (ubiquity one) | 12:48 |
| xnox | you can switch to tty1 and do ubuntu-bug ubiquity | 12:48 |
| psivaa | xnox: yes i did, will ubuntu-bug ubiquity include the specific crash file as well? | 12:53 |
| psivaa | i could attach the crash file but not sure if it will contain all the information as reporting the bug from the crash itself | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | You can run ubuntu-bug on a crash file | 12:56 |
| xnox | psivaa: it might not, check /var/crash and upload those as well with apport-bug *.crash | 12:56 |
| xnox | snap. | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | And if you do so there is no reason to run ubuntu-bug ubiquity separately | 12:56 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: xnox i tried ubuntu-bug -c *.crash from /var/crash. it just creates a .upload file. it does not open the lauchpad to report it as a bug | 12:58 |
| psivaa | this simply brings up the 'Sorry. Ubuntu 13.04 has experienced an internal error' dialog and clicking continue does not open the web browser with lp | 13:04 |
| cjwatson | Why -c? | 13:09 |
| cjwatson | That's neither in --help nor in the man page. | 13:09 |
| gema | xnox: how are you doing with bug 1080701? | 13:35 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1080701 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Raring) "After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 | 13:36 |
| gema | did you guys manage to reproduce it yesterday? | 13:36 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: i use -c for crash files (probably started using from hearsay) but even without -c the behaviour is the same, the 'internal error' dialog opens but clicking continue does not open a browser | 13:42 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: xnox: reported bug 1095684 for the installer crash during manual partitioning | 15:52 |

| Peanut | http://loopy.jive.nl/~boven/syslog and http://loopy.jive.nl/~boven/preseed.cfg | 16:11 |
| Peanut | Jan 3 15:55:55 localechooser: info: Preseeded language ignored: unknown language code | 16:19 |
| Peanut | Maybe that's my problem? | 16:19 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, en_NL doesn't exist | 16:21 |
| Peanut | But I'm preseeding that I want en_US.UTF-8 for locale | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | You need to set /country to one that's valid for en, but then later on say that you want Dutch timezone configuration / mirrors / etc. | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | also, minor issue but you have a bunch of owners (the first field) that are clock-setup, pkgsel, or *-udeb - those should all be just d-i | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | the only ones that shouldn't be d-i are ones that relate to packages installed in the target system, such as postfix | 16:23 |
| Peanut | I'll try that. But it does contradict the documentation somewhat, that is giving these combinations. (language en, country NL, locale ) | 16:23 |
| cjwatson | I suggest 'd-i debian-installer/country string US' (or actually you can just leave that out and only preseed the locale) | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | dropping debian-installer/language and debian-installer/country altogether is probably simplest | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | sorry about the doc bug, feel free to file that on installation-guide | 16:24 |
| Peanut | I'll do that once I get this working | 16:24 |
| Peanut | Doc page also say that preseeding localization only works with initrd preseeding, which seems to be incorrect? | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | "... or with auto-install" | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | (don't know if it actually says that outright, it may be in a different section) | 16:26 |
| Peanut | Nope, doesn't say it | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | it wouldn't work without auto=true, which quite possibly postdates that bit of the docs | 16:26 |
| Peanut | Is the confusion between country, language and locale also the reason that it would ask for the mirror, despite that being preseeded? | 16:27 |
| Peanut | Hmz.. now it skipped the language questions, but still wants me to confirm the mirror. | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | I would actually be inclined to use "manual" rather than "NL" for mirror/country | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | you already force nl.archive.ubuntu.com just below in a line that's only honoured for mirror/country=manual | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | so change that and it should stop asking | 16:28 |
| Peanut | Ah | 16:29 |
| Peanut | "enter information manually" ? | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | manual | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | like I said | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | that actually *is* in the installation guide :) | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | "enter information manually" is the human-readable form - docs prefer to recommend the underlying identifier for preseeding as it's more resilient against running in different locales | 16:31 |
| Peanut | Oh, ok - was just comparing it to a preseed that I had for Lucid on the same machines, that has that text in place. | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | "enter information manually" is the old form; "manual" has been supported as a (preferred for preseeding) alias since hardy | 16:32 |
| Peanut | I've got 40 machines to re-install, so I'm kind of keen on making it really automated. I love d-i, preseeding and IPMI + SOL. | 16:32 |
| Peanut | Ok, it gets a whole lot further now - let me try and figure out the remaining issues withoug bugging you, thanks a lot. | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | great | 16:34 |
| Peanut | "Installation Complete" :-) | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | yay | 16:41 |

| mattrae | hi guys, i have had reports of this same bug when installing using kickseed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1023069 | 22:21 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1023069 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "Packages was corrupt" [Undecided,Expired] | 22:21 |
| mattrae | the workaround was to create an empty Packages file although Packages.gz wasn't corrupt | 22:22 |
| mattrae | any insights on this bug? | 22:23 |
