| tk818 | Hi I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.10 in my laptop but I can´t. Is there any one to help me? | 09:01 |
| cjwatson | xnox: bug 869825 is the closest thing that comes to mind | 09:08 |

| bjf | xnox, what do i file server install bugs against? | 16:05 |

| zooko | Okay, shall I test today's Lubuntu daily installer iso? Last time I tested it (yesterday?) it had a segfault when reading a FAT32 partition table in parted. | 18:43 |
| cjwatson | That bug should be fixed now | 18:45 |
| zooko | cjwatson: do you know if http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20140414/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso has your fix? | 18:48 |
| cjwatson | yes | 18:48 |
| zooko | That timestamp suggests that it might have been built.. okay. | 18:48 |
| zooko | Thanks. | 18:48 |
| cjwatson | er, and yes :) | 18:48 |
| cjwatson | yes I know and yes it does. | 18:48 |
| zooko | Will test. | 18:49 |
| phillw | hi good people... very quick question.. which script checks for the presence of PAE flag in the alternate (server) installer ISO system. I need to disable it as I have a non-pae kernel :) last time I asked, I am thinking it was mistaken for ubiquity, where as I'm using the https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer I've pulled in and expanded https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/debian-installer_20101020ubuntu317.tar | 19:36 |
| xnox | phillw: d-i pulls a lot of other udebs at runtime. | 19:38 |
| xnox | phillw: e.g. partman-* and so on and so for. | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | I could have sworn I answered this the other day? | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | 17:41 <cjwatson> kernel/i386.sh in the base-installer source package | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | 17:42 <cjwatson> I suggest you make your change by way of the test suite ("make test") | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | 17:43 <cjwatson> You'll probably want to change arch_check_usable_kernel for the case where the computed kernel flavour name is "486" | 19:38 |
| xnox | ah, thanks. | 19:38 |
| cjwatson | And no, I didn't misunderstand you as asking about ubiquity. | 19:39 |
| phillw | cjwatson: there is no such file as kernel/i386.sh | 19:41 |
| cjwatson | There is such a file in the base-installer source package. | 19:41 |
| cjwatson | In the initrd, it's /usr/lib/base-installer/kernel.sh | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | Sorry, not in the initrd, in the installation environment, I mean | 19:42 |
| phillw | cjwatson: but not in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/debian-installer_20101020ubuntu317.tar.gz ? | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | As xnox says, debian-installer downloads much of itself at run-time. | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | So no, it isn't expected to be there. | 19:43 |
| cjwatson | http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ for how d-i is laid out. | 19:43 |
| phillw | so.. basically no way to overide the pae check, as it seems to be instigated long before any internet connection is made? | 19:44 |
| cjwatson | That's quite untrue. | 19:45 |
| cjwatson | On both counts. | 19:45 |
| cjwatson | base-installer runs well after the network comes up. | 19:46 |
| cjwatson | And you can either override it directly, or you can use the base-installer/kernel/override-image preseed key (which is basically a big hammer, "use this one damnit"). | 19:46 |
| cjwatson | override it directly> that is, by changing the code | 19:46 |
| phillw | cjwatson: is that in the code from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/debian-installer_20101020ubuntu317.tar.gz or do I need a different source? | 19:47 |
| cjwatson | It is not in that tarball. | 19:48 |
| phillw | cjwatson: and, yeah... "just use this one, damnit" sounds about right for a non-pae kernel being put into a lubuntu ISO that checks for pae flag :) | 19:49 |
| cjwatson | It is in the base-installer source package, as I've said several times | 19:49 |
| phillw | cjwatson: would you have a link? | 19:49 |
| cjwatson | apt-get source base-installer | 19:49 |
| cjwatson | Or lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/base-installer/ubuntu | 19:49 |
| phillw | cjwatson: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/base-installer/ubuntu here? | 19:52 |
| cjwatson | Yes | 19:52 |
| phillw | cjwatson: is there a .tar.gz available that I can pull into the build machine? | 19:55 |
| phillw | It just is a bit less scary if I keep everything at ~HOME/src as advised in various tutorials :) | 19:57 |
| cjwatson | "apt-get source base-installer" in a trusty environment will give you it | 19:58 |
| cjwatson | Or "bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/base-installer/ubuntu base-installer" | 19:58 |
| phillw | whch is best to keep it in the src area? I'm okay with the tar.gz stuff, but not pulled in a bzr branch before | 19:59 |
| phillw | can I issue that from the ~HOME/src directory? | 20:00 |
| cjwatson | Either | 20:00 |
| cjwatson | They'll both fetch into the current directory | 20:00 |
| cjwatson | But perhaps you could ask somewhere else for packaging basics, or read developer.ubuntu.com or whatever, kinda busy with release | 20:01 |
| phillw | cjwatson: I know, so are others.... but... alll i want to do is to stop the installer insisting on PAE flag :D ... as you say, we will have more time after 14.04 is out... I'm also testing the lubuntu alternate builds :) | 20:04 |
| pmatulis | for a netboot, i understand there is a nic-modules downloadable. where can i look at it? i'm trying to troubleshoot why a netboot install fails to detect a network card but a standalone install does | 20:04 |
| phillw | I'll leave you in peace. Thankyou for your time | 20:05 |
| phillw | it keeps me busy as installs happen :P | 20:05 |
| cjwatson | So you could just try booting with base-installer/kernel/override-image=linux-generic on the kernel command line for the installer | 20:06 |
| cjwatson | Assuming that's a metapackage that points to your kernel, otherwise substitute as needed | 20:06 |
| cjwatson | nic-modules is spat out by the kernel build process | 20:06 |
| pmatulis | cjwatson: i may see the driver in the kernel source (nic-modules file) but how to check if it's present during a netboot? | 20:13 |
| phillw | cjwatson: The build provides the .debs, using make deb-pkg I do think we should re-visit this after release :) | 20:14 |
| pmatulis | cjwatson: re your first point, you're saying to have a certain kernel *installed* in the target system at the preseed stage. but if there is no network card how do i get that far? | 20:37 |
