| FourDollars | Hi, how can I see the debug messages for ubiquity in live system? | 07:47 |
|---|---|---|
| FourDollars | I tried to execute "sh -c ''ubiquity --debug gtk_ui'" in gnome-terminal but there is no debug message at all. | 07:49 |
| FourDollars | Oops, never mind. I found it at /var/log/installer/debug. | 07:52 |
| fish_ | is there an easy way to add dkms modules to the ubuntu installer? | 12:52 |
| fish_ | or do I have to buuld the modules myself and add them to the initrd? | 12:52 |
| fish_ | actualyl I just realize therre is already a module in the kernel package but it's not included in the installer initrd | 15:14 |
| fish_ | neither can I select it in the raid driver prompt | 15:14 |
| fish_ | oh wait.. it's there for 3.13.0-24-generic, but the trusty-updates installer kernel is 3.13.0-54 | 15:15 |
| fish_ | ah no, sorry wrong suite. it's in trusty-updates | 15:18 |
| fish_ | ..but only for ppc *sigh* | 15:21 |
| cyphermox | which module? | 15:23 |
| fish_ | cyphermox: pm80xx | 15:23 |
| cyphermox | typically all the drivers you need are included in the kernel; from there it may depend what media you use to install | 15:25 |
| fish_ | cyphermox: are there multiple variants of the installer initrd? | 15:25 |
| fish_ | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ <- I'm using this and it doesn't include the module | 15:26 |
| cyphermox | nah, that seems like the right one, unless you want to use the ubuntu-server iso. | 15:36 |
| fish_ | I want to install ubuntu servers, yes ;) | 15:36 |
| cyphermox | sure, but there is either this link you pasted, which is the netboot installer, or you can use the big iso file that doesn't require network. | 15:37 |
| fish_ | requiring network is fine, I just need it to load or include the raid controller module | 15:38 |
| cyphermox | when you run the netboot installer, you should be asked at some point to install extra installer components | 15:38 |
| cyphermox | from there I would expect pm80xx to be in scsi-modules or something | 15:38 |
| fish_ | it just says no disk drive detected and pm80xx isn't included in the driver list | 15:40 |
| fish_ | but as I said, looks like there is no kernel module for the current trusty-updates installer | 15:40 |
| cyphermox | yes, there are, but some aren't just installed automatically | 15:54 |
| cyphermox | if you go back to the menu, you should see that you can download extra installer components | 15:54 |
| cyphermox | from that list, there ought to be 'scsi-modules' which I think is the extra bits you need for pm80xx to work | 15:55 |
| cyphermox | OTOH, it may be that the module just isn't included at all | 15:58 |
| cyphermox | fish_: best would be to ask on #ubuntu-kernel for a kernel, or file a bug... it looks like it's maybe not in any of the -modules packages for d-i | 15:59 |
| cyphermox | otherwise, it may be worth trying to use the server cd image: | 15:59 |
| fish_ | but the server cd image is, well, a cd image and I need a initrd to pxe boot | 16:00 |
| cyphermox | http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.4-server-amd64.iso | 16:00 |
| cyphermox | hrm | 16:00 |
| cyphermox | there probably wouldn't be a difference there then | 16:01 |
| fish_ | I'll patch the initrd myself, that should work | 16:01 |
| fish_ | just need to figure out where to get those drivers.. ;) | 16:01 |
| fish_ | at least I found the one for the other raid controller we have | 16:01 |
| cyphermox | fish_: you can file a bug or ask on #ubuntu-kernel to get the driver you need added to the d-i initrds, if that helps | 16:03 |
| fish_ | cyphermox: but the driver isn't even available in the regular kernel debs | 16:05 |
| cyphermox | ok | 16:09 |
| cyphermox | all the more reason to ask the kernel team about it :) | 16:09 |
| cyphermox | sorry, I don't touch the kernel itself | 16:09 |
| CarlFK | how do I install onto an odroid c2? (and no saying "download some random binary image..." :p | 16:57 |
| CarlFK | well.. the installer kernel is a binary image I guess.. but trusted source so it's ok. I guess. | 16:59 |
| cyphermox | CarlFK: sorry, the only answer is "download some random binary image". ARM devices are fun that way; they don't exactly run an installer in the straight sense of it | 18:36 |
| CarlFK | cyphermox: so where do those images come from? | 18:37 |
| CarlFK | like... how are they built ? | 18:37 |
| cyphermox | CarlFK: what you'll probably want to do for installing Ubuntu Touch is following the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 18:37 |
| cyphermox | we build images more or less the same way for everything, there is a root filesystem being built, which you install along with other things like the kernel and initrd | 18:38 |
| cyphermox | where the images are for supported devices, we build them on Launchpad, for community-driven ports, people build them however they want -- we don't really have control over what might happen there | 18:40 |
| CarlFK | cyphermox: somewhere is a script that builds the ubuntu-desktop cd image ... I am pretty sure I have seen it. Is there something similar for touch? | 18:47 |
| CarlFK | (and really I am trying to make a fairly minimal install for the odroid c2 - result will be a headless router | 18:49 |
| cyphermox | it all uses the same scripts and same build process; part of it is Launchpad, part of it is lp:ubuntu-cdimage, part of it is lp:debian-cd, and still some of it is livecd-rootfs, but I would suggest you follow the Porting guide from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting | 19:33 |
| cyphermox | that will list just what you need to roll your own image for that device. | 19:33 |
| CarlFK | weird. that page loads bits at time, starting with "This page does not exist or has been moved. If you feel that this is an error, please file a bug." | 19:53 |
| CarlFK | and then like 5 seconds later.. that is replaced with content | 19:53 |
| CarlFK | but yeah, thats about what I was looking for - thanks | 19:55 |
