| cjwatson | ev: We need to get Wubi updated for 12.04.2, but I'm going to be flat-out today with other verification work and writing up change summaries and such | 10:09 |
|---|---|---|
| ev | on it | 10:09 |
| cjwatson | ev: Do you think you could take care of that for me, since you'd have to do the build anyway? :-) Note that (a) we need to update URLs for most products, not just Ubuntu (check which ones were released for 12.04.1, that's a good guide) and (b) it needs to be signed by IS | 10:10 |
| cjwatson | Thanks a lot | 10:10 |
| ev | sure thing | 10:10 |

| ghengis | hi im installing ubunt12.04.1 server from 1gb USB (sdb) TO 8gb USB (sda) | 21:01 |
| ghengis | but grub2 install fails | 21:02 |
| ghengis | ive opened a shell but unsure what command might fix this | 21:04 |
| ghengis | ive been searching but cant seem to find situation similar enough to mine... dont want to start entering commands willy nilly | 21:04 |
| ghengis | the "grub-pc" package failed to install to /target/ | 21:06 |
| ghengis | one option seems to be leaving the install where it is, and booting up into a live cd to fix it... hmm, but it seems like something i should be able to fix without doing all that? | 21:07 |
| cjwatson | can you extract the installer log? | 21:11 |
| cjwatson | it's in /var/log/syslog - you can 'anna-install openssh-client' to get scp and copy it to another machine | 21:11 |
| cjwatson | /var/log/partman might help too | 21:11 |
| ghengis | hi watson i started a reinstall before i seen your message | 21:25 |
| ghengis | i changed a bios setting for usb drives that i changed from AUTO to FIXED | 21:26 |
| ghengis | the 8gb drive is 4gb ext4 / ,and 2gb swap | 21:27 |
| cjwatson | I would rather debug the exact same environment you started with if possible, rather than introducing new variables | 21:27 |
| ghengis | isee | 21:27 |
| ghengis | another thing i had rebooted my router during the ubuntu install too, then wondered if that might have caused the grub error | 21:28 |
| cjwatson | Yes, quite possible | 21:28 |
| cjwatson | Because that's a package installation error, not actually a failure to install GRUB the boot loader | 21:29 |
| ghengis | oh lol | 21:29 |
| cjwatson | So it could be caused by an interrupted download | 21:29 |
| cjwatson | I can't recall whether it's easy to fix in place though unless you're an expert, though, so it was probably best to start again anyway | 21:29 |
| ghengis | this is the first time im putting ubuntu on usb stick... any advice besides noatime? im convinced usb should suffice for the light duties i use | 21:31 |
| cjwatson | I don't have much personal experience with that mode | 21:31 |
| cjwatson | Also it's my evening - happy to debug blocking failures but don't really want to get into system design :) | 21:32 |
| infinity | noatime will help, removing the journal from the filesystem will also cut down on premature flash burnout. | 21:32 |
| infinity | At the expense, of course, of filesystem reliability. | 21:33 |
