| flocculant | akxwi-dave: pretty sure that testing iso's currently is a complete waste of time ;) | 15:19 |
|---|---|---|
| flocculant | some flavours will be doing alpha1 in a couple of weeks - I suspect they'll whine louder | 15:20 |
| akxwi-dave | i noticed that mate.. Thought I'd give it another go.. just in case | 15:20 |
| flocculant | I didn't bother http://dev.xubuntu.org/#tab-qa this morning | 15:20 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: did you know that the iso's have ubi-console fail and then a full on crash later? | 15:22 |
| cyphermox | flocculant: yeah, I've had hints of some other issues | 15:29 |
| cyphermox | it was with the timezone plugin though | 15:29 |
| flocculant | mmm - you can at least get past that one, the newer one just crashes bug 1587555 | 15:31 |
| ubottu | bug 1587555 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Installer crashed during installation" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1587555 | 15:31 |
| cyphermox | so; let me finish dealing with sbsigntool SRUs now and libdebian-installer; those should just take 5 minutes; then I'll pull images and check them out | 15:31 |
| flocculant | bunch of dupes I found for that one too | 15:31 |
| cyphermox | ok | 15:31 |
| flocculant | can probably run ubiuity -d and add it to there if it would help | 15:32 |
| cyphermox | looks to be still the same issue: May 31 16:14:53 xubuntu /plugininstall.py: ubiquity.install_misc.InstallStepError: Plugin timezone failed with code 2 | 15:33 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: ok - so beforehand we could force past the ubi-console issue and complete an install - but that now causes it to crash completely? | 15:34 |
| cyphermox | I don't know, tbh I haven't tried an install of yakkety with ubiquity yet | 15:35 |
| flocculant | I'll leave it in your wonderful care - looks like a case of voodoo to me :p | 15:35 |
| flocculant | aah right okey doke - ftr I've seen fail with qemu, vbox and hardware | 15:35 |
| * flocculant wanders off looking at bbq's | 15:36 | |
| cyphermox | bbqs? | 15:36 |
| flocculant | yep - for cooking on :) | 15:36 |
| flocculant | barbecue | 15:36 |
| cyphermox | oh, cool | 15:36 |
| cyphermox | yeah | 15:36 |
| cyphermox | I have one back here, just rarely ever used in 4 years ;) | 15:37 |
| flocculant | I've no garden - but council have replaced concrete with grass \o/ | 15:37 |
| akxwi-dave | cyphermox, i usually see timezone on the installer slider part when it crashes | 15:45 |
| cyphermox | akxwi-dave: yeah, it explodes when it tries to apply the changes for some reason | 15:53 |
| cyphermox | what we need to do is add 'set -x' to the right script that gets run in that case to see why it's unhappy | 15:54 |
| cyphermox | flocculant: were you picking a timezone in particular? | 20:51 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: nope - just letting it default to local (UK) | 20:52 |
| cyphermox | ok... works here. crap :) | 20:53 |
| flocculant | ha ha | 20:53 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: I assume you were testing ubuntu | 20:53 |
| cyphermox | yes | 20:54 |
| cyphermox | shouldn't really make a difference for this :/ | 20:54 |
| flocculant | nope I agree | 20:54 |
| flocculant | but stranger things have happened :D | 20:54 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: and what locale are you? I could check that here | 20:54 |
| cyphermox | oh wait it just crashed | 20:55 |
| flocculant | phew ... | 20:55 |
| flocculant | sort of :) | 20:55 |
| flocculant | I never actually took much notice of where it got to when crashing | 20:55 |
| flocculant | seemed to be at different places tbh | 20:56 |
| cyphermox | ah, it wasn't the same, indeed | 20:57 |
| cyphermox | what I got was a crash for console-setup | 20:57 |
| cyphermox | seriously, wtf. | 20:57 |
| Unit193 | I've found running ubiquity as root fixes a lot of problems. >_> | 20:58 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: how it's been going here is ubi-console-setup fails - but you could continue | 20:58 |
| flocculant | and the install would complete | 20:58 |
| flocculant | lately - continue ubi-c-s and it crashes later | 20:58 |
| cyphermox | sure, but it would still be nice to fix that too ;) | 20:59 |
| flocculant | yea ofc | 20:59 |
| cyphermox | looks like maybe a bad dpkg-maintscript-helper call for some reason? | 21:00 |
| cyphermox | well, install is running now, I'll see in a bit | 21:00 |
| flocculant | cyphermox: well if install is running - you got further than I do :D | 21:03 |
| cyphermox | no, it crashes later | 21:04 |
| flocculant | aah right - same then | 21:04 |
| cyphermox | yep | 21:04 |
| cyphermox | trying again, with moar debug. | 21:04 |
| flocculant | :) | 21:04 |
| flocculant | I never really know what to use to debug the thing | 21:05 |
| cyphermox | well, it really depends on what is broken | 21:05 |
| flocculant | heh | 21:05 |
| cyphermox | here I just added set -x to a few scripts to see what they do and where they fail | 21:05 |
| knome | what about boar debug, the trunky way to figure things out | 21:06 |
| flocculant | I debug like this > let apport chuck the bug report at launchpad :p | 21:06 |
| flocculant | evening knome | 21:06 |
| knome | hello flocculant | 21:06 |
| cyphermox | flocculant: that only works when your desk doesn't look like an aircraft cockpit | 21:07 |
| knome | interesting idea | 21:08 |
| flocculant | ha ha | 21:08 |
| cyphermox | ah, maybe /etc/default/rcS? | 21:14 |
| flocculant | night peeps | 21:19 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: Not sure if you've seen it yet, but: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/06/msg00002.html | 22:26 |
