| cjwatson | I think those may be regrettably missing. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| jkitchen | ok | 00:00 |
| jkitchen | maybe I'll fire up another netconsole install and poke around :) | 00:00 |
| jkitchen | thanks! | 00:00 |
| cjwatson | http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/index.html covers them. | 00:00 |
| jkitchen | perfect | 00:01 |
| jkitchen | seriously googling for this stuff is nearly impossible :( | 00:01 |
| cjwatson | The downside of popularity. It used to be easier. | 00:02 |
| jkitchen | hehe | 00:02 |
| jkitchen | and there's no way to define hooks directly in the preseed file apparently? | 00:12 |
| jkitchen | other than using an early_command to write them out that is | 00:12 |
| jkitchen | hook/post-base-installer/1 string "foo" | 00:15 |
| jkitchen | for instance | 00:15 |
| jkitchen | (would be really cool if it could do that) | 00:15 |
| cjwatson | Sadly not. I've always kind of meant to get roudn to that | 00:15 |
| cjwatson | *round | 00:15 |
| jkitchen | is there a preferred place to submit feature requests? I'll go ahead and put one in | 00:16 |
| jkitchen | not that I'm gonna wait for it to get done, but it might be helpful for folks in the future or such | 00:16 |
| cjwatson | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug I guess | 00:18 |
| jkitchen | cool, thanks! | 00:19 |
| cjwatson | Actually you might need to use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug?no-redirect to stop it sending you through ubuntu-bug or whatever | 00:19 |
| cjwatson | (Which isn't going to be helpful in this case, although it often is) | 00:19 |
| jkitchen | submitted. thanks! | 00:28 |
| jkitchen | root@ns1:~# id puppet | 01:11 |
| jkitchen | uid=600(puppet) gid=600(puppet) groups=600(puppet) | 01:11 |
| jkitchen | cjwatson: thanks again, got it working | 01:11 |
| cjwatson | jkitchen: excellent | 07:18 |
| FourDollars | What grub's debug parameter should I use when I encounter some problem that it can not boot to the grub menu? | 08:51 |
| FourDollars | But I can see grub menu after several cool boots. | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | Simplest way is to use the --debug-image=all parameter to grub-install and try to capture the last screenful of output | 08:55 |
| FourDollars | The issue is happening in GRUB instead of Linux kernel. | 08:56 |
| FourDollars | I thought it is to put some command in /boot/grub/grub.cfg . | 08:57 |
| FourDollars | OK. I may understand. | 09:00 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: Thanks a lot. | 09:02 |
| FourDollars | I put 'set debug=all' in /boot/grub/grub.cfg . It should be the same. | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | Not if it fails to even get to the point of reading grub.cfg | 09:11 |
| cjwatson | But I guess you know best and don't need me then :-P | 09:11 |
| FourDollars | So far it can read k | 09:11 |
| FourDollars | So far it can read /boot/grub/grub.cfg . | 09:11 |
| FourDollars | So I can see the debug messages. | 09:12 |
| FourDollars | Somehow it gets stuck before entering GRUB menu. :( | 09:12 |
| KnorrieBorrie-HP | after new install on new Dell-Inspiron14z(pre-loaded-withwin8), installed from live-USB ubuntu13-64bit on space created next to win8 (using Gparted) install finished nicely, yet failed to boot, used boot-repair-live-media to repair, after reboot, showed Grub menu, loads windows correctly, but when trying to load Ubuntu from grub menu, just hangs showing blank purple screen see: paste.ubuntu.com/5883944/ Anybody got ideas? | 09:33 |
| FourDollars | 'debug=all' is the most verbose parameter. Which is the second one? | 09:42 |
| FourDollars | Or is there a list of debug parameters? | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | FourDollars: from there you just have to find the debug category you're interested in and enable only that | 09:46 |
| cjwatson | (or categories, separated by ,) | 09:46 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: Is there any category list available? | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | Only in the source I'm afraid | 09:48 |
| FourDollars | :( | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | But debug=all is for developers anyway ... | 09:49 |
| cjwatson | So you're expected to accompany it with source-diving | 09:49 |
| FourDollars | 'debug=all' shows too many messages and it is slow. | 09:49 |
| cjwatson | However the last thing it outputs should give an idea of where it hangs | 09:50 |
| cjwatson | I never actually read all of debug=all, it's just a way to get an approximation of how far it got | 09:50 |
| FourDollars | I see. | 09:50 |
| FourDollars | Is it possible to redirect the output to a serial console? | 09:52 |
| FourDollars | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto | 09:53 |
| cjwatson | https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Serial-terminal | 09:54 |
| FourDollars | Is it possible via USB? | 09:59 |
| FourDollars | debug=usb ? | 10:01 |
| FourDollars | No, it is not this way. | 10:04 |
| FourDollars | The screen is cleared by the purple background, and then it halts. :( | 10:11 |
| FourDollars | All debug messages are disappeared. | 10:12 |
| FourDollars | Maybe I should try it by entering grub commands manually. | 10:13 |

| stgraber | gah, seriously... those autopilot changes in ubiquity could have done with a tests/run before being pushed... | 21:38 |
| stgraber | the files contained mixed spaces and tabs, a ton of unneeded imports, broken indent and a ton of whitespaces not to mention 20 or so blank lines at the end of the files... | 21:39 |
| stgraber | I was hoping for a quick ubiquity upload, not having to fix all that mess... | 21:39 |
| stgraber | yay, I've got a source package! now let's see if I can get that thing to build (I have a feeling that even if it does, it's going to blow up in autopkgtest when I upload, but oh well...) | 21:44 |
| xnox | stgraber: fork. and upload. sorry about that. | 21:44 |
| xnox | stgraber: yeah, i'm trying to stage the autopilot test run, it will blow up at the moment. | 21:44 |
| xnox | stgraber: sorry, it's been a big piece of work i am hoping to land today..... =/ | 21:45 |
| stgraber | xnox: hmm, ok, well I fixed a bunch of the obvious issues in lp:ubiquity | 21:46 |
| stgraber | xnox: and now running a build locally to see what else explodes. If that passes, do we have an easy way of turning off the bits we know will fail at test time? | 21:46 |
| stgraber | so I can just upload from the branch instead of having to deal with branching and rebasing | 21:47 |
| xnox | stgraber: debian/tests/control should not list "autopilot" | 21:47 |
| stgraber | xnox: it doesn't at the moment | 21:47 |
| xnox | right, than it shouldn't run =) | 21:48 |
| stgraber | good, so let's hope the other existing tests will be happy then ;) | 21:48 |
| stgraber | ah, apparently not, just got a FTBFS from sbuild... | 21:48 |
| xnox | stgraber: push the branch, and I can run the adt test runner on my machine quickly to check. | 21:48 |
| stgraber | xnox: lp:ubiquity is up to date (just haven't tagged for release) | 21:48 |
| stgraber | my sbuild failure was network related... retrying | 21:49 |
| xnox | stgraber: autopilot stuff is python2, yet the checkers are python3 =/ so whole autopilot/ should be ignored. | 21:49 |
| stgraber | well, pyflakes seems to be happy at the moment, but yeah, if it's always going to be python2, it probably should be added to the ignore list | 21:50 |
| xnox | and well, automatic update of d-i stuff needs running (unless you did that on your end) to pick up your updated grub-installer | 21:51 |
| stgraber | I did that here | 21:51 |
| stgraber | that's one of the reason why I want an ubiquity upload | 21:51 |
| stgraber | xnox: looks like it built succesfuly! (didn't remember it taking so long to build...) | 22:09 |
| stgraber | will do a quick spot check of the binaries and push to the archive | 22:09 |
| xnox | ack. | 22:11 |
| stgraber | and uploaded, will test that stuff tomorrow and then figure out how to get it into precise (that's quite a few packages to land in the right order...) | 22:14 |
| xnox | ohhh it worked. | 22:48 |
| stgraber | well, we'll see tomorrow if the images work too ;) | 23:11 |
| xnox | stgraber: nah, I'm about autopilot tests in nested qemu =) so our autopkgtests performs ubuntu installs in qemu \o/ =) | 23:13 |
