| arraybolt3 | sgmoore: Just did some more debugging and discovered that .cache being owned by root is *not* Calamares' fault. Something else in Kubuntu is creating or chowning it, because when I start up the ISO, I can open a terminal while on the installer prompt screen without ever clicking "Install Kubuntu", then do `stat .cache` and it shows as being owned by root. | 01:48 |
|---|---|---|
| arraybolt3 | Any recent upload in KDE that might be doing this? There's a file in there, icon-cache.kcache which is also owned by root. | 01:49 |
| arraybolt3 | and clicking "Try Kubuntu" instantly results in a crashy Plasma despite having never launched Calamares. | 01:49 |
| arraybolt3 | Scratch that, upon further testing it's the installer prompt's fault. | 03:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> arraybolt3: it is. I tried earlier today booting the ISO with the installer prompt removed at the rescue target | 06:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> .cache was then owned by kubuntu | 06:28 |
| arraybolt3 | RikMills: Yep, did a similar trick here (modded the ISO with Cubic and made the prompt no longer run as root). Problem solved. Already uploaded a fix (with the .git directory no longer getting lumped in, yay!). | 08:11 |
| arraybolt3 | Thanks for your patience while we're getting all the bumps smoothed out :) | 08:13 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> kool | 08:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> booting to rescue.target by editing the grub boot line seems easier, but whatever :) | 08:15 |
| arraybolt3 | pretty sure your way is easier but it also requires one to know and remember that it's possible :P | 08:16 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> true. if we have anything like wiki instructions on iso testing, it could be handy to document | 08:17 |
| arraybolt3 | definitely | 08:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> but basically you add systemd.uniit=rescue.target after or before quiet splash | 08:18 |
| arraybolt3 | nice, I can probably remember to do that. | 08:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> do your modifications in rescue mode | 08:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> then CTRL D to carry on booting | 08:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> a former release team member told me that IIRC | 08:20 |
| arraybolt3 | awesome | 08:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> if you need network access in rescue node | 08:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> systemctrl start network-online.target | 08:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> yeah, I think this needs documenting. I have used this many times now for various problems | 08:24 |
| arraybolt3 | just saved a snapshot of IRC logs so I can remember this later | 08:25 |
| arraybolt3 | s/saved/threw into an unsaved text document that may vanish if the power goes out, so maybe I should save it/ | 08:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> with the network online, you can even add a ppa and upgrade packages before you finish booting :) | 08:26 |
| arraybolt3 | neat | 08:27 |
| arraybolt3 | ok, it's almost 2:30 AM here, I should go to bed :P | 08:27 |
| arraybolt3 | thanks for sharing all these neat tricks with me :D | 08:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> np, and sleep well | 08:28 |
| arraybolt3 | thanks | 08:28 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> hiyas | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | hey sgmoore | 13:17 |
| santa_ | hi everyone | 13:28 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> hey santa_ How was the move? Hope it went well | 13:29 |
| santa_ | I will be getting slowly back into kubuntu in the next days I hope | 13:29 |
| BluesKaj | hi santa_ | 13:29 |
| santa_ | sgmoore: still not finished, but I have the table structure and a couple of servers | 13:29 |
| santa_ | the big one is still in the box | 13:29 |
| sgmoore | very nice, moving is no fun, I hope to never have to do it again. | 13:30 |
| santa_ | also I'm looking for a new job, I have been doing some interviews | 13:30 |
| santa_ | sgmoore: yeah, this one was also specially complicated for a number of things | 13:31 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> I did that for the last year. Also no fun | 13:31 |
| santa_ | yeah, very time consuming like my move I guess | 13:31 |
