| dank | Looks like a deadlock in the forest-of-fifos protocol. | 03:48 |

| cjwatson | dank: ok, possible patch in the bug | 04:52 |

| psivaa | cjwatson: xnox: our preseeded default installation of amd64 desktop image reports http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5594979/ | 08:27 |
| psivaa | i did not see any issues with manual installation though | 08:28 |
| cjwatson | looks like a python2.7 problem to me | 08:41 |
| cjwatson | but I wonder whether it's consistently reproducible ... | 08:42 |
| cjwatson | seems to be working fine on my raring laptop | 08:43 |
| cjwatson | can you get at the target system it's created? | 08:44 |
| stgraber | the only case where I've seen that was on my pandaboard (cosmic rays changing a couple of bits in a pyc apparently) but that was apport not the encodings module | 08:50 |
| cjwatson | we see that kind of thing occasionally on arms in the dc; they're crap | 08:50 |
| cjwatson | you notice it sometimes in build logs e.g. | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | well, my possible patch at least doesn't regress things in a test VM, although I can't reproduce the original issue | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | so I guess we wait for Larry to show up and see if he can give it a spin | 09:09 |

| stgraber | cjwatson: hey, I was looking into an LXC bug that's been annoying us for a while. Basically everytime we create a new container rootfs using debootstrap, the keyboard mode is changed from RAW to Unicode which makes using X a bit of a pain (alt+f4 will both close the window and change the VT). | 10:11 |
| stgraber | I've always assumed we were doing something wrong but now looking at bug 759674 it looks like it might be console-setup's postinst not doing the right thing | 10:11 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 759674 in console-setup (Ubuntu) "Upgrading console-setup in a chroot breaks X keymap" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/759674 | 10:11 |
| stgraber | specifically the bit about running "setupcon --force -k" when under X | 10:11 |
| stgraber | do you have any opinion on the matter? I'd personally be tempted to just drop that call completely (and just keep the --save-only call that requires a reboot) but that's for my specific use case and I don't pretend to see the big picture there | 10:12 |
| stgraber | (no rush, not planning on getting this for 13.04, or at least not in the release pocket ;)) | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: the underlying tool in kbd that that calls is meant to detect this situation and not actually do the ioctl, IIRC | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | if that isn't working, that's a problem for other reasons because I think that's called from a udev rule | 10:17 |
| cjwatson | so I think we should fix it rather than remove it | 10:17 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: ok. I confirmed that calling "/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.postinst configure" from within a chroot definitely changes the kbd mode (fixable with kbd_mode -s afterwards). I'll dig a bit deeper later | 10:22 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: hmm, so the problem appears to be that "kbd_mode -u < /dev/tty1" in a chroot actually changes the current tty instead of tty1 (and so changes tty7). The same outside the chroot works as expected. | 11:15 |
| stgraber | I'll have to play with strace a bit to see exactly what's going on as the device nodes for /dev/ttyX look correct (right minor/major) | 11:16 |
| xnox | ev: are you about? and/or bluefin? got a question about wubi boot helper that is not popping up / offering to help rebooting. | 12:33 |

| mwharris | im looking for advice on how to make d-i just emit a syslog message | 21:33 |
| mwharris | im making a PXE target that's basically a test that PXE is set up correctly for a machine | 21:33 |
| mwharris | and id like to use standard d-i infra, mainly because i need remote syslog | 21:33 |
| cjwatson | you should just be able to say logger -t some-tag arbitrary message | 21:51 |
| antarus | mwharris: I'm confused why you don't just run a custom early_command ? | 21:53 |
| antarus | mwharris: is your question how to exit? | 21:53 |
| mwharris | yeah, i suppose so. | 21:53 |
| mwharris | i don't want to do an install, just emit a syslog message. | 21:53 |
| mwharris | is early command the way to do that? | 21:54 |
| antarus | and then...reboot? | 21:54 |
| antarus | I'm confused what you want to happen afterward | 21:54 |
| mwharris | yeah | 21:54 |
| mwharris | reboot afterwards is fine. | 21:54 |
| antarus | can't you just call logger and then call reboot? :) | 21:54 |
| mwharris | sure, but how do i do that? | 21:54 |
| mwharris | make an early_command? | 21:54 |
| antarus | you would need a custom preseed, yeah | 21:54 |
| antarus | with a custom early_command | 21:54 |
| mwharris | ok, cool. i already have a custom preseed, so that's fine. | 21:55 |
| antarus | not sure if you can preseed the early_command url on pxe? | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | should be fine | 21:55 |
| * antarus nods | 21:55 | |
| antarus | mwharris: sorry, I didn't quite grok what you wanted to do earlier ;p | 21:55 |
| mwharris | heh no worries. | 21:55 |
| mwharris | thanks for the help | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | d-i preseed/early_command string logger -t d-i HELLO; reboot | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | or some such | 21:55 |
| cjwatson | kind of a heavyweight test, but ... | 21:56 |
| antarus | we are batshit crazy here | 21:57 |
| antarus | don't worry about it ;) | 21:57 |
| mwharris | hehe | 21:57 |
| antarus | (this is one of our lightest tests, don't poke fun!) | 21:57 |
| mwharris | basically i want to give people an easy to test PXE setup on a machine | 21:57 |
| mwharris | hmm, early_command is too early, there's no networking. | 22:42 |
| mwharris | is there a way i can have early_command run with networking up? | 22:42 |
