akxwi-davehmm todays daily has an install problem   http://i.imgur.com/HMcOXn5.png13:39
akxwi-davereboots and then get to login screen, login and just blank screen13:41
flocculantakxwi-dave: could be something to do with today's dpkg update13:42
akxwi-daveahh did notice that on both times i tried it..  it did mention dpkg seg fault13:43
flocculantI'll check I can confirm that before anything else13:44
akxwi-daveta.. just off for a coffee, want one?13:45
flocculantI'd take a builder's tea :p13:45
akxwi-davekk 3 sugars?13:45
flocculantif you're running out ... 13:45
flocculantakxwi-dave: did you manage to check syslog at all?13:47
akxwi-davenope.. will try that now13:52
flocculantakxwi-dave: I'm looking right now13:53
flocculantgot a paste 13:54
flocculantwhich is just the post install boot ... 13:54
flocculantre-running the install :D13:54
flocculantwith the ubuntu iso - see if I can confirm on that13:55
flocculantk - that's started from the live rather than install - should be able to retrieve the syslog13:56
flocculantassuming it fails of course13:56
akxwi-dave:-)13:56
flocculantshould do if it's dpkg13:57
akxwi-davejust trying  "tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep dpkg" but its taking its sweet time13:59
flocculantso Ubuntu builds after us - Lubuntu hasn't built with the new dpkg yet afaict14:00
flocculantakxwi-dave: it's likely we want the syslog from during the install anyway 14:00
akxwi-davedoh  true14:01
flocculantgrabbing looby loo to see if that fails with the older dpkg14:01
flocculantubuntu fails :)14:02
flocculantakxwi-dave: cool - doing the install from the livesession, it fails enough to start apport14:04
akxwi-daveexcellent.. I'll give that a bash as well14:05
flocculantakxwi-dave: no need14:06
flocculantgive me a few moments to catch up :)14:06
Unit193What version of dpkg?14:06
flocculant1.18.9ubuntu seemingly14:07
akxwi-davekk14:07
flocculantakxwi-dave: bug 159917414:10
ubottubug 1599174 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "dpkg seg fault warning during install" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/159917414:10
flocculantjust installing lubuntu with the old dpkg now14:11
akxwi-daveta will +114:11
flocculantyup14:11
flocculantUnit193: not sure why installer hiccups - have the same dpkg here now, and have installed/updated since *that* updated pkg this morning14:12
flocculantmmm something I've never noticed before, install from livesession and it assumes I have some foreign yankee kbd - lubuntu works out I might have a uk one with uk tz14:13
flocculantlooby lou installs fine14:17
flocculantakxwi-dave: now this is only if you have time to do so (because mostly we're only worried about us) but if you get something likely to be a *buntu fail - quite useful to confirm it with ubuntu14:19
flocculantthough that said I do usually try to confirm them so I know *we* can not worry too much :)14:20
akxwi-davemakes sense...14:20
flocculantI'll toddle of to -release and tell them :)14:21
flocculantakxwi-dave: #ubuntu-release is a handy channel to know about in these cases14:28
flocculantand if you did happen to go there - davmor2 is in this channel and you can laugh at him about it - then ask him nicely who's best to ping :p14:30
flocculanthe's got a proper english sense of humour if nothing else ;)14:31
davmor2Yeah it is almost as if I was born here surrounded by sarcastic people all my life.......wait I was14:32
flocculantI did say english :D14:32
flocculantdavmor2: akxwi-dave is from up north somewhere - just a warning ... 14:33
flocculantthough anything north of Salisbury is foreign country to me lol14:33
davmor2flocculant: midlands don't confuse that with up north you'll get staked out by two sets of people :D14:34
flocculant\o/14:34
* flocculant should have lived in Wessex ... 14:35
davmor2flocculant: you don't pick where your family has you unfortunately14:37
flocculantindeed not - that would have been somewhere abroad that was british in the mediterranean sea :p14:37
akxwi-daveI'm even more up north than Midlands..  Yorkshire-- God's own country...14:51
