| twb | ...has 404'd for me for a couple of days. Is it coming back, or is it gone because 10.04 is EOLd on the desktop? | 00:36 |
| twb | Oh wait, brain fart -- that's 8.04. I'll just remove it from my cron job. | 00:36 |
| cjwatson | hardy is EOL everywhere. | 00:36 |
| cjwatson | It just took us a while to remove it from archive after the EOL. | 00:36 |
| twb | No worries. | 00:37 |
| xnox | cjwatson: by denewing ubiquity-ubuntuone package? oh and adding as depends, bah, thanks =) | 08:17 |
| cjwatson | I didn't denew it, but yeah, test dependency | 09:11 |
| yleger | Hi | 10:03 |
| === yleger is now known as Yaann | ||
| xnox | hello! | 10:07 |
| Yaann | I have a small problem with a preseeded netinstall on armhf | 10:08 |
| Yaann | It fails while trying to install libglib2.0-0_2.36.0-1ubuntu2_armhf.deb with a "requires the xzcat command, which is not available" | 10:09 |
| xnox | Yaann: that's weird, as dpkg is task:minimal and it can / knows how to unpack xz compressed debs. What release are you on and / or which netinstall images are you using? | 10:11 |
| cjwatson | xnox: this is an error from debootstrap | 10:12 |
| cjwatson | packages in the debootstrapped set must not use xz | 10:12 |
| cjwatson | and that version is from raring | 10:12 |
| xnox | cjwatson: debootstrap still did not gain xz dependency? _sad_ i remember the discussions from more than a year ago.... | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | xnox: It's fundamentally difficult since debootstrap is meant to work minimally on other distributions! | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | Though, that said, busybox had unxz turned on in quantal | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | So this ought to work ... | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | Which goes back to which network install images are you using? | 10:14 |
| xnox | arch, fedora - switched to xz. | 10:14 |
| cjwatson | *shrug* you might get lucky | 10:14 |
| Yaann | xnox: cjwatson I'm using the precise netboot image | 10:14 |
| Yaann | The one found here http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-armhf/current/images/armadaxp/netboot/uInitrd | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | Yaann: It isn't in general possible to use the precise netboot image to install later releases of Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | Yaann: You need to use the raring netboot image to install raring | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | Yaann: This is one of the more obscure possible failure modes :-) | 10:15 |
| Yaann | actually i'm trying to install precise with the precise netboot image | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | But libglib2.0-0_2.36.0-1ubuntu2_armhf.deb is a package from raring | 10:16 |
| Yaann | ok let me check | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | libglib2.0-0 | 2.32.1-0ubuntu2 | precise | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | libglib2.0-0 | 2.32.3-0ubuntu1 | precise-updates | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc | 10:16 |
| Yaann | I may have made something stupid | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | libglib2.0-0 | 2.32.4-0ubuntu1 | precise-proposed | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | libglib2.0-0 | 2.36.0-1ubuntu2 | raring | amd64, armhf, i386, powerpc | 10:16 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: there is not netboot install image for raring on armadaxp, at least I did not found any | 10:17 |
| cjwatson | No, that's right, because the armadaxp kernel is no longer supported from raring | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | debian-installer (20101020ubuntu222) raring; urgency=low | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | * Stop building images for armadaxp, which use a no-longer-maintained 3.5 | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | kernel. | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@ubuntu.com> Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:34:39 -0700 | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | So you're stuck on precise (or quantal, but that's supported for less long) | 10:18 |
| cjwatson | You could in theory install precise and upgrade just the userspace later, but not sure how long that'll keep working | 10:19 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: So the support of armadaxp is supposed to be discontinued ? | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | I believe so, I'm afraid | 10:23 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: xnox : You were right, it's just a misconfiguring of my debconf file which pointed to raring instead of precise | 10:26 |
| Yaann | misconfiguration * | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | OK, great | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | Yaann: FWIW you can probably just delete whatever that line is - the installer doesn't normally need to be told which release to install | 10:26 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: Ok, nice, thanks a lot, I could have lost an other couple of hours | 10:28 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: Are they any difference between the build of the initramfs on different armhf processors ? | 10:30 |
| cjwatson | Yes, not least that the initramfs contains modules from different kernels | 10:31 |
| cjwatson | Very few if any differences outside that though | 10:31 |
| Yaann | so actually if I use a custom kernel with the needed modules, I should be able to use any initramfs | 10:32 |
| Yaann | from the armhf architecture | 10:33 |
| cjwatson | No, you'd have to build your own initramfs | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | Against your custom kernel | 10:36 |
| cjwatson | You'd do that by plugging it into the build system in the debian-installer source package from the appropriate release | 10:37 |
| Yaann | Yes but if the modules are compiled in the kernel I do not need to recompile the initramfs, right ? | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | Eh. Maybe. I think that might result in some confusion and I don't recommend it | 10:39 |
| cjwatson | There are places where d-i will try to install more modules for itself and if you've tried to work around it that way then it will almost certainly fail. | 10:39 |
| Yaann | cjwatson: Ok, I'm may take a look it, thanks a lot again ! | 10:40 |
