cyphermox | enyc: it might depend what type of swap it is | 19:13 |
---|---|---|
cyphermox | but yeah, things eventually also rescan (usually when you get to partitioning), but I haven't heard of swap getting in the way of paritioning for a long while now | 19:14 |
enyc | cyphermox: just normal partition-type-82 unencrypted linux-swap ... damn thing keesp being auto-remounted | 20:11 |
cyphermox | mmkay | 20:11 |
enyc | cyphermox: where this causes a rpbolem is with (a) changing/mwoving partitioans around manually, (at least) you have to right-click->'swapoff' and i REALLY don't think its necessary/useful on livecd/installer to auto-mount swaps on the disk you are rejiggling.... however... | 20:12 |
enyc | cyphermox: bigger problem, if there is any linux-swap partitian and you (for whatever reasons) whatn to ALSO have an 'encrypted' partitino (e.g. for a system unconnected to the linux-swap) you CAN't by using ubiquity. | 20:12 |
cyphermox | you should be able to watch dmesg, and/or set "DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer" on the command-line (when you boot the CD) and get more information, if it's because of the installer | 20:12 |
enyc | no about of 'swapoff' manually works, there is some process that does this automatically in quite succession when you gto got create encrypted containter via manual-portitionnig. | 20:13 |
cyphermox | enyc: I don't know, guided partitioning works correctly? presumably you should be seeing the same kind of issues there too? | 20:13 |
cyphermox | and I have had swap devices existing on my disk before, and have done manual partitioning successfully anyway | 20:13 |
enyc | cyphermox: good qsuetion, slast i checked you couldn't guided' do an encrytd install as adual-boot to other systems without manual-portitioning. | 20:14 |
cyphermox | (all I'm saying is, I believe you, I just have no idea why that's happening) | 20:14 |
cyphermox | enyc: right, this is exactly why I did manual | 20:14 |
cyphermox | (dual-booting Windows for a project) | 20:14 |
enyc | cyphermox: yes, but wheny you did you manual-portition,ngs were you resizing /moving the linux-swap or extended-container around it, and were you creating an 'encrypted' container at all? | 20:14 |
enyc | in order to do what i wanted I had to manually remove (dd backup first) the swap-headers from the partition, THEN go through procses, then 'restore' them to get the unrelated-swap-partition not screw-up-the-process ;p | 20:15 |
enyc | cyphermox: right... ok -- thats innteresting -- like a paramater on kernel-comamndline that kernel doesn't understand? but some usersparce process reads this and does $MAGIC | 20:22 |
enyc | thankyou! | 20:22 |
enyc | cyphermox: i wonder if ther are also poramebers to ubiliquite yexlicytly... or if I just want to log both stdout and stderr of ubiquity myself too. | 20:23 |
cyphermox | enyc: I suppose I was deleting the partition, and recreating it as part of the process of the partitioning, but I expect if things were unhappy I should have had an error when deleting | 20:27 |
enyc | cyphermox: iirc some things kest get greyed-out when a mounted swap or athoer mounted filestyme is blocking the process... | 20:28 |
enyc | cyphermox: but in the latter case of creating an encrypted-portition... o dear it even warns you and explians you may need to swapoff... because unencrypted swap and encrypted-system mounted at same time not ''safe'' (disclosure of memory to the swap) | 20:29 |
enyc | cyphermox: except you can't just use that advice, becouse something in the process and auto-remounts the swapq quitcly lol ;p | 20:29 |
enyc | cyphermox: thnkyou for answering // thoughts !!. | 20:30 |
cyphermox | ok | 21:00 |
