[09:10] <ailion> Hi
[09:10] <ailion> Why is filesystem.squashfs soooooo large in Kubuntu's iso?
[09:15] <RikMills> its the whole live filesystem
[09:19] <ailion> pool/ has only 33MB packages in it
[09:21] <ailion> I don't see why not put most of the packages in pool/ just as Ubuntu-Desktop do.
[09:23] <RikMills> ubuntu desktop does not do that
[09:24] <ailion> Oh! Sorry!
[09:24] <ailion> I come from Ubuntu-Server world
[09:29] <ailion> Do we have tutorials about building Kubuntu from scratch?
[09:30] <RikMills> the iso?
[09:30] <blaze> just take a netinstall iso
[09:30] <ailion> I'm looking for something like: 1.git clone 2. ./build.sh 3. output is an iso file
[09:30] <blaze> or is it minimal something something
[09:31] <ailion> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
[09:31] <blaze> http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/
[09:32]  * RikMills kicks LP git
[09:32] <RikMills> there is stuff on the wiki. probably out of date
[09:33] <ailion> I have followed this tutorial to make a live system, then I replaced the vmlinuz and initrd from d-i's.
[09:34] <ailion> Next, I replaced pool/ and dists/, modified preseed file, so I can now build an Ubuntu Server iso with any packages I want.
[09:36] <ailion> blaze: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qMxSr5Czz6/
[09:37] <ailion> Here's part of my project.
[09:38] <ailion> vmlinuz and initrd are compiled from d-i source code.
[09:38] <ailion> pool/ and dists/ are generated by Geminate and Reprepro
[09:45] <ailion> The question is: I'm now using `git clone -b bionic https://git.launchpad.net/~tsimonq2/ubuntu-seeds/+git/kubuntu`
[09:46] <ailion> Is this the correct repo for Kubuntu seeds?
[09:46] <RikMills> no
[09:47] <RikMills> https://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.bionic
[09:48] <RikMills> bzr branch lp:~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/kubuntu.bionic
[09:48] <ailion> This is a bzr repo
[09:48] <RikMills> yes
[09:49] <ailion> The link I found is a git repo with same commit message
[09:50] <RikMills> it is not the bionic seed used for iso builds
[09:50] <RikMills> the bzr one I linked is
[09:50] <ailion> wow, thanks a lot
[09:51] <RikMills> your git link is to someones persona git space
[09:51] <RikMills> *personal
[09:52] <ailion> Sure. I thought it was from the maintainer's personal repo. It's not.
[09:53] <RikMills> seeds are always in official repos, so only members of allowed teams can push
[09:53] <ailion> I see.
[09:54] <ailion> I'd like to learn more about this.
[10:17] <ailion> RikMills: Which repo should I use for platform.bionic?
[10:21] <RikMills> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform
[10:26] <ailion> git clone -b bionic https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform platform.bionic
[10:26] <ailion> fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
[10:26] <ailion> can you confirm this?
[10:27] <RikMills> yes, launchpad git has some outage this morning. I have already pinged admins in #launchpad about it, but no fix yet
[10:28] <ailion> XD
[10:28] <ailion> I can't find its bzr version
[10:29] <RikMills> iso builds, recipe builds, anything that currently uses LP git is broken
[10:29] <RikMills> there is no bzr version now of that one. some seeds repos have been migrated to git, some have not
[10:30] <ailion> I see. Thank you for your patience.
[10:30] <RikMills> kubuntu one needs migrating sometime, but there is always something more important
[11:16] <ailion> https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/kubuntu.bionic/
[11:17] <ailion> RikMills: Now I have the Germinate output just as this FTP page shows.
[11:19] <ailion> If I get it right, I show open https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/kubuntu.bionic/structure, find ``ship-live` and its recursive dependencies.
[11:24] <ailion> installer d-i-requirements boot required minimal standard desktop-common desktop live-common live ship-live
[11:26] <ailion> I have merged unique package names in these files, find `Filename` for each package in `Packages.gz`, wget these debs and udebs, and finally reprepro them as pool/ and dists/
[11:29] <ailion> In preseed file, I set `tasksel tasksel/first multiselect kubuntu-desktop`
[11:30] <ailion> Question: After installation, I get a base system with CLI only. kubuntu-desktop is not installed.
[11:32] <ailion> How can I fix this issue? Thank you!
[11:56] <RikMills> desktop seed is required for a 'desktop'
[11:57] <ailion> RikMills: I do have 'desktop' included, as you can see above.
[11:58] <RikMills> no idea. I never have to run germinate manually
[11:59] <ailion> The outputs of germinate are identical.
[12:00] <ailion> I believe there's something to do in preseed file.
[13:21] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
