| pmatulis | xnox: ↑ | 14:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | pmatulis: i don't use virt-install much. | 14:08 |
| xnox | is grub1 supported in trusty? | 17:40 |
| infinity | xnox: It's in main, so "sort of"? | 17:43 |
| xnox | infinity: upgrade bug to trusty, of machines originally installed with 8.04, and which didn't upgrade to grub2 yet | 17:43 |
| xnox | infinity: i would have thought we'd force people to grub2 by now. | 17:44 |
| xnox | also failing to purge grub2 and install grub1 on precise to reproduce the upgrade failure. | 17:44 |
| infinity | So start with 8.04, upgrade a few times, and then test? :) | 17:44 |
| xnox | =)))) | 17:45 |
| xnox | infinity: well 8.04 -> 14.04 upgrade should mostly work, right?! | 17:45 |
| xnox | =))))) | 17:45 |
| xnox | it's just the base system on raid1, or like just one package upgrade to be honest. | 17:46 |
| infinity | From a minimal system, it might just work. Ish. | 17:46 |
| infinity | Oh, except that you'd need to be sure dpkg got upgraded first. :P | 17:46 |
| infinity | Cause we don't have pre-deps for xz debs anymore. | 17:46 |
| infinity | Which is almost all of them. | 17:46 |
| xnox | right | 17:46 |
| xnox | and multiarch-support i guess. | 17:46 |
| infinity | Well, upgrading dpkg pulls in libc and multiarch-support. | 17:47 |
| infinity | All of which are gzip. | 17:47 |
| infinity | So, it could work, in theory. | 17:47 |
| infinity | I wouldn't hold my breath. | 17:47 |
| xnox | pre-kirkland painted d-i with 90s style isolinux loader dialog, that's fun =) | 17:54 |
| xnox | oh and no bug that last character on the bottom row is painted the wrong color. | 17:54 |
| xnox | no weak-password prompt. 8.04 was so much better =) | 17:57 |
| infinity | Yeah, I just installed hardy here and noticed the lack of weak password prompt. | 18:13 |
| xnox | ALSO INSTALLER LOG IS IN ALL CAPS | 18:18 |
| xnox | grub stage 1.5 \o/ | 18:28 |
| antarus | hardy? | 18:29 |
| * antarus blinks | 18:29 | |
| xnox | antarus: aha =) | 18:29 |
| xnox | infinity: step 1 -> get updated keyring? =) | 18:29 |
| infinity | antarus: Don't ask. | 18:33 |
| xnox | infinity: libc6 preinst fails. 8.04 -> 14.04 | 18:34 |
| infinity | xnox: Guess how much I care. | 18:34 |
| infinity | Shouldn't take long to upgrade a base install from 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 to 14.04 anyway. | 18:35 |
| infinity | Just annoying. | 18:35 |
| xnox | i think after lucid's dpkg/libc6 it should be better. | 18:35 |
| antarus | i'm confused | 18:35 |
| antarus | why are we doing this? | 18:35 |
| xnox | antarus: reproducing upgrade bug on trusty with grub1 never upgraded to grub2 since 2008 | 18:36 |
| antarus | you..support that? | 18:36 |
| antarus | 'reinstall your machine' | 18:36 |
| xnox | antarus: well it's upgrade from precise to trusty that broke. And it's only one package at the moment. | 18:36 |
| xnox | antarus: so why not? | 18:36 |
| antarus | ahh | 18:36 |
| xnox | infinity: well, it would be nice for liblzma5 to not data.tar.xz | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | it's meant to work but I haven't tested it in years. | 18:40 |
| infinity | xnox: Ouch. Yes, that would be nice. | 18:40 |
| xnox | "internal error, could not perform immediate configuration (2) on sysv-rc" =))))) | 18:41 |
| infinity | xnox: I don't think you'll get any useful data out of this experiment without upgrading in 3 steps anyway. | 18:42 |
| xnox | yeah. | 18:42 |
| infinity | xnox: As you'll be skipping migration code that was added and subsequently removed, etc. | 18:42 |
| xnox | oh, i'll be able to run the test of "never removed conffiles from eons ago at the end of this" | 18:52 |
