| nuclearbob | can anybody give me some tips on using a preseed to overwrite an lvm installation with another lvm installation? | 03:43 |
|---|---|---|
| nuclearbob | I realize this isn't the ideal time of day for this | 03:48 |
| nuclearbob | I'm having some issues trying to preseed an lvm install on a machine that already has a system installed using lvm, if anyone can help me take a look at that, I'd appreciate it | 11:48 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: is that using desktop or d-i? | 11:49 |
| xnox | it should be possible to preseed proper wipe-and-install with lvm & d-i. Not so sure about ubiquity. What preseed are you currently using, and do you have debug/devel log on which question it gets stuck? | 11:50 |
| xnox | You do want: | 11:51 |
| xnox | d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true | 11:51 |
| xnox | d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true | 11:51 |
| xnox | d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true | 11:51 |
| xnox | + select normal auto parititioning using lvm. | 11:52 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: is that for utah? if you point me to a branch I can work/debug it. | 11:53 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: it is for utah, the branch is lp:~nuclearbob/utah/lvm-experimental | 11:54 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: I can give you a further description of a couple places I get tripped up, all with d-i, ubiquity hasn't really gotten off the ground yet, would you rather have that here, email, something else? | 11:54 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: here is fine + pastebin. Or you can drop an email to ubuntu-installer@lists.ubuntu.com, unless private then can email me direct. | 11:56 |
| xnox | whichever =) | 11:56 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: if I install on a disk with no lvm, things seem to work fine. If I install on a disk that already has lvm, I need to add a couple more options, it seems like I need partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm, and partman-lvm/confirm | 11:58 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: once I add those two, I need partman-auto/automatically_partition | 11:58 |
| nuclearbob | and once I add that, I need partman-auto/select_disk, but if I set that to auto or /dev/sda, the installer starts looping, complaning about ntfs | 11:59 |
| nuclearbob | I see this over and over: | 12:00 |
| nuclearbob | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5801286/ | 12:01 |
| nuclearbob | then it'll loop around like this for a while: | 12:02 |
| nuclearbob | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5801297/ | 12:02 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: it would be nice to see full log, from beginning to end. and the dump of the preseed file used. | 12:02 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: that'll be a bit long, but I'll send that shortly | 12:03 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: you do want d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true , otherwise it might refuse to remove old lvm. | 12:03 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: okay. I had that in for a while, but it didn't seem work any more or less when I took it out. I'll add it back :) | 12:04 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: how can i run utah twice from that branch to do lvm provisioning? | 12:06 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: unfortunately, it only currently works on a physical machine using cobbler | 12:07 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: if you have access to the magners lab, I can tell you how to run it there | 12:07 |
| nuclearbob | actually, I guess a vm using cobbler would work, but I haven't really played with setting that up yet | 12:07 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: i don't have cobbler / spare machines on my network at the moment. I don't think i have magners lab access. | 12:08 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: but if you give me full logs & preseed (of well both the first and subsequent install), I should be able to reproduce the preseed bug. | 12:08 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: I can have a second install log and a preseed for you in a few minutes, but I'll have to back and redo the first, that'll take a little longer | 12:09 |
| xnox | there was a bug with wiping stale lvms that I did fix in precise-updates & quantal+ | 12:09 |
| nuclearbob | okay, I may just be on old precise, I'll check | 12:10 |
| xnox | so it should all just work (tm) | 12:11 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: preseed: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5801323/ | 12:12 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: bump the copyright year ;-) | 12:12 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: file a bug report :p | 12:12 |
| nuclearbob | I'll make an mp for that later | 12:13 |
| nuclearbob | we probably need it in a lot of places | 12:13 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: so, thanks for that preseed. I'll play around with it. I might not get to it today though. | 12:16 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: thanks. I'll get you the rest of the stuff as well, no rush | 12:17 |

| skaet | hiya, help please. For Alpha 1 tomorrow, I've collected the installer bugs from 13.04 that aren't fixed and added them https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Alpha1/CommonInfrastructure, are there others that folks feel are important to be added? | 19:51 |
| GrueMaster | Wow, the omap4 black screen bug is back? | 21:41 |
| GrueMaster | Thought we fixed that back in Natty. | 21:41 |
