| stgraber | cjwatson: so the question I had is about the signed grub2 on UEFI and how it finds its config. I reinstalled my laptop using raring with just an EFI partition and a LVM partition. My / is on a LV which led to grub giving me a recovery shell on first boot. | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | I vaguely remember seeing a minimal grub.cfg in /boot/efi in the past that'd point grub towards the real config file but can't find it on that clean install | 00:46 |
| stgraber | so I just want to check whether we've got a bug there or if it's not a supported setup, whether it's possible to dump a grub config on the EFI partition to have it source the config from the LVM (instead of me doing this at every boot ;)) | 00:47 |
| dank | Ran into bug 1080701 on 2 out of 3 machines, repeatably | 21:17 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1080701 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Raring) "After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1080701 | 21:17 |
| dank | Mounting a partition manually works around the problem for me. I'd be happy to do test runs for any developer interested. | 21:57 |
| cjwatson | If you'll be around tomorrow we may well want to have a look | 22:03 |
| cjwatson | Although possibly in UK working hours so hopefully there's some intersection | 22:03 |
| cjwatson | The ideal thing for us to have would be a way to reproduce it in a virtual machine, so that one of us can look at it directly, repeatedly reset the state, that kind of thing | 22:06 |
| cjwatson | But I appreciate that may not be exactly trivial | 22:06 |
| dank | Think it'd be reproducible in the live cd by just running partman with the right commandline? | 22:24 |
| dank | alas, just running partman doesn't seem to reproduce the problem; it uses the console UI, and gets to the partitioning screen ok. Hmm. | 22:36 |
| dank | I could be available tomorrow morning to run tests, I'm in California, can test starting about 7am (3pm London time) | 22:39 |
