| cjwatson | psivaa: I started looking last night but had to download a fresh image first | 10:06 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: so about to look at it now | 10:06 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: ack, thanks | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: my god, this is a hell of a diff to work through | 10:21 |
| cjwatson | 5.8.11-2ubuntu4 -> 7.4.4-1ubuntu1 | 10:22 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: yea :), it was a big leap | 10:22 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: backing out to the old version to save time is fine by me if bisecting it will take long | 10:25 |
| cjwatson | I have no interest in attempting to back out across two upstream versions | 10:26 |
| cjwatson | this regression is now five days old, so there is no sense in a panicky reversion when I'm sure we can fix it in a more measured way | 10:27 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: ack | 10:29 |
| cjwatson | ah, we need to adjust for the removal of v3 compatibility mode | 10:32 |
| cjwatson | maybe | 10:35 |
| cjwatson | no, I think it's actually a privilege-dropping problem | 10:41 |

| jibel | on Trusty I'm unable to create an EFI partition during installation with d-i. I filed bug 1257702 | 13:28 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1257702 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "Disk partitioning fails to create EFI partition on Trusty" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1257702 | 13:28 |
| jibel | It works fine on 13.10 | 13:28 |
| cjwatson | jibel: hm, nothing much useful in the logs :-( | 13:30 |
| cjwatson | dosfstools has changed | 13:30 |
| jibel | cjwatson, indeed :( Is there anything else I can collect? | 13:31 |
| cjwatson | jibel: don't think so | 13:31 |

| randnr4 | hello, is this possible: boot 12.04 live usb (desktop x86) and (execute a script to) do unattended install? I created live usb from desktop live iso with usb-creator-gtk. I've tried preseed, kickstart, ubiquity preseed... Live usb is ok, the need is to have only one usb image and independent of hardware | 14:45 |
| xnox_ | randnr4: yes it is possible, there are some ubiquity specific preseed keys that need to be set: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation | 14:47 |
| === xnox_ is now known as xnox | ||
| randnr4 | yes, I've seen that one, and six hundred other docs and blogs etc. I havent succeeded trying to build/modify work out from any of them. | 14:48 |
| randnr4 | for example, if i write a preseed file, assuming i write one that actually works. is it just command "ubiquity --desktop preseed.conf gtk_ui" as an example? | 14:50 |
| randnr4 | i'm not quite a newbie but really feel like one about this. | 14:52 |
| xnox | randnr4: no, one modifies boot parameter (kernel cmdline - F4 during cd boot at "Burning Man / a11y" logo) to specify - "automatic-ubiquity" then ubiquity will operate in an unattended mode, otherwise it will still ask to compare each step. | 14:53 |
| xnox | see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopCDOptions | 14:53 |
| xnox | randnr4: here is default "Ubuntu Desktop" unattended preseed - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-test-case-dev/ubuntu-test-cases/desktop/view/head:/preseeds/default.cfg | 14:54 |
| xnox | randnr4: here are jenkins results https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/precise-desktop-amd64_default/ | 14:54 |
| xnox | randnr4: i recommend using images from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/ they are guaranteed to be latest spin of ubuntu (with all Stable Release Updates) and it has been validated by automatic jenkins jobs, that automated installs work. | 14:56 |
| jibel | cjwatson, thank you, I'll retry with next build. | 14:58 |
| randnr4 | Must be 12.04 at work. And ad integration etc on top, later. I can script that but need to solve the unattended install first. | 14:58 |
| randnr4 | xnox: thanx for the links. will read up and come back for more later :) | 14:58 |
| xnox | randnr4: it is precise.... if you prefer choose point release images as needed. | 15:01 |

| bdmurray | xnox: there is more than one installer failure due to a package conflict with console-setup-linux and wheezy sources on the cdrom some how. Do you have any ideas about this? | 19:17 |
| xnox | bdmurray: i'm not sure, there is always /etc/debian_version file which at the moment still defines us "wheezy/sid" (well derived from) | 19:30 |
| xnox | bdmurray: but the sources from wheezy shouldn't be used in any way, unless something started doing that based on /etc/debian_version. | 19:31 |
| bdmurray | bug 1247099 is an example | 19:32 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1247099 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "this crashed during ubuntu installation from memory stick prepared using these instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1247099 | 19:32 |
| bdmurray | Nov 1 13:17:41 ubuntu apt-setup: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamander_ - Release amd64 (20131016.1)]/ jessie contrib main | 19:32 |
| bdmurray | that's the odd part I noticed | 19:32 |
| bdmurray | some other bugs reference wheezy as I mentioned | 19:33 |
| bdmurray | or is that a reinstall of Ubuntu and the jessie bit is from the installed system? | 19:35 |
| cjwatson | IIRC that's unetbootin being rubbish | 19:36 |
| cjwatson | or some other similar build-me-a-USB-stick tool | 19:36 |
| cjwatson | in the past I'm pretty sure I've marked though invalid not-our-problem | 19:36 |
| cjwatson | *those | 19:36 |

| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1024827 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu installer crash can't overwrite compose.ARMSCII-8.inc" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1024827 | 19:37 |
| xnox | cjwatson: hm. Is pendrive linux brain dead as well? since that's what tell people to use from Windows http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 19:37 |
| cjwatson | dunno | 19:37 |
| * xnox ponders now that windows started doing usb sticks maybe there is a built-in usb flashing utility. | 19:37 | |
| bdmurray | I'm gonna test pendrive linux | 19:38 |
| bdmurray | since we link to it and all | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | that bug mentions problems if the drive had previously had Debian on it | 19:39 |
| xnox | .... cause we do apt-clone/restore ?! =/ | 19:39 |
| bdmurray | got it, thanks! | 19:40 |
| cjwatson | xnox: I have a feeling that unetbootin might do its own apt-ftparchive or equivalent out of the union of whatever files happen to end up on the stick | 19:41 |
| cjwatson | the drive -> I mean the installation medium, here | 19:41 |
| xnox | ok, but we shouldn't add the clearly debian package pools in the generated CD sources. | 19:41 |
| cjwatson | *we* don't :-) | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | unetbootin => not ours | 19:42 |
| xnox | https://launchpadlibrarian.net/155564029/Casper.txt | 19:43 |
| xnox | are those entries not generated / parsed by us? | 19:43 |
| bdmurray | so the default for that pendrive linux installer is not to format the drive and then it'll leave a bunch of stuff leftover | 20:47 |
| bdmurray | briefly looking I have two versions of oem-config in /misc/cdrom/pool/main/u/ubiquity | 20:48 |
| bdmurray | and I have raring and saucy deb cdrom: entries in my sources.list file | 20:48 |
| xnox | =( | 20:48 |
| cjwatson | xnox: oh, hm, yeah, maybe casper could use some filtering there ... somehow | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | good catch | 21:40 |
| xnox | cjwatson: well, bdmurray spotted that it looks fishy. | 21:40 |
| cjwatson | collective praise :) | 21:40 |
