[09:48] <CIA-1> partman-target: cjwatson * r727 ubuntu/debian/ (61 files in 2 dirs): update confirmation string (and unfuzzy translations) to account for /boot no longer being cleared [09:50] <CIA-1> partman-target: cjwatson * r728 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 55ubuntu2 [09:54] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2753 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py): [09:54] <CIA-1> ubiquity: When copying files, remove regular files and symlinks if they exist [09:54] <CIA-1> ubiquity: already on the target; this can happen legitimately if installing over [09:54] <CIA-1> ubiquity: an existing system and /boot wasn't erased. [10:50] <sri_> cjwatson: i customised (the gnome ) of your ubuntu livecd of version gutsy ... it is booting but not supporting the selected theme [10:51] <cjwatson> I'm sorry, I can't help you [10:51] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2754 ubiquity/ (4 files in 2 dirs): [10:51] <CIA-1> ubiquity: Make the Back button insensitive on the first page rather than hiding it [10:51] <CIA-1> ubiquity: (LP: #186953). [10:52] <cjwatson> firstly, as I've said to you several times before, I can't conceivably help without a copy of the CD in question, and that would cost me money to download [10:52] <cjwatson> secondly, I'm not a desktop guy and themes are not my field [11:14] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2755 ubiquity/ (86 files in 5 dirs): [11:14] <CIA-1> ubiquity: Rename main Cancel button to Quit, and adjust the quit dialog text [11:14] <CIA-1> ubiquity: slightly so that we consistently use "quit" as the action verb and [11:14] <CIA-1> ubiquity: "cancel" clearly means to cancel the dialog (LP: #45690). [11:31] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2756 ubiquity/ (configure configure.ac): bump to 1.9.8 [11:34] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2757 ubiquity/ (configure configure.ac): AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR [11:47] <crispin> cjwatson: how about http://patches.theflowerdays.com/d/debian-cd-list2src.diff as a patch for list2src ? [11:48] <crispin> (making it look in updates / security / restricted / universe etc) [11:48] <crispin> it works for me [tm] [11:51] <sri_> cjwatson: ok ., [11:51] <cjwatson> crispin: yeah, that looks fine - is there a "fetch plain patch" URL for applying purposes? [11:51] <cjwatson> ah, http://patches.theflowerdays.com/debian-cd-list2src.diff [11:51] <crispin> the big link at the top (although that isn't obvious!) [11:52] <cjwatson> --author crispin@flowerday.cx? [11:52] <crispin> hmm, gnome@flowerday.cx please [11:52] <cjwatson> mkay [11:54] <cjwatson> applied, thanks [11:56] <crispin> np [12:00] <crispin> cjwatson: oh, btw, which is the 'official' debian-cd that I should checkout ? is it the one in ~cjwatson/bzr/debian-cd/ubuntu/ or the /~ubuntu-cdimage/debian-cd/ubuntu one ? [12:02] <cjwatson> they should be the same [12:02] <cjwatson> the latter is a mirror of the former [12:03] <cjwatson> (well, aside from propagation times) [12:17] <crispin> ok, cool [14:13] <saispo> cjwatson: hi :) you're not an ftp maintainer ? :) [14:19] <cjwatson> saispo: I'm one of the Ubuntu archive administration team, if that's what you mean. Why? [14:19] <saispo> yes :) [14:19] <saispo> see on ubuntu-devel... [16:22] <mario_limonciell> evand, it appears the version of ubiquity that came in a3 is trying to unmount /cdrom when install starts (which isn't feasible). nothing stood out in the changelog for ubiquity, but i haven't looked at partman's yet [16:23] <evand> hrmm ok, I'll try to take a look from the airport [16:24] <mario_limonciell> evand, okay. if it doesn't stand out i'll show you at some point tomorrow while others are discussing things [16:25] <evand> ok, thanks [16:26] <cjwatson> that's curious - we did full tests of alpha 3's ubiquity and it was working fine on the test systems in question [16:26] <cjwatson> are these modified CDs in any way, or just ordinary alpha 3 CDs? [16:26] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, they were alpha 3 cds with our preseed file [16:26] <mario_limonciell> dropped onto the recovery partition [16:27] <mario_limonciell> replacing the livefs from ubuntu 8.04 and the .disk from ubuntu 8.04 [16:27] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: do you know roughly what stage the unmount happened? [16:27] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, well it's moreso that it wasn't able to happen, but it looked like right about when it was about to partition [16:27] <cjwatson> commit partitioning changes, YM? [16:28] <mario_limonciell> i'll get a more thorough run through and capture some logs to get more accurate information. this was at the end of last week on my way out the door [16:29] <cjwatson> the only thing I can think of that might be relevant is that Debian did a good deal of work recently to improve support for CD sets [16:29] <cjwatson> now, we don't use these in Ubuntu so I've generally tried to disable this (though without ripping out the code entirely) [16:29] <cjwatson> but be careful that you aren't just dropping in .disk from Ubuntu 8.04 - check the diff against .disk from alpha 3 [16:30] <cjwatson> since .disk/cd_type is responsible for part of disabling CD sets [16:38] <mario_limonciell> well the .disk is the same as the ISO that i've got downloaded. http://paste.ubuntu.com/31330/ [16:38] <mario_limonciell> that's ubiquity noninteractive -d === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [19:21] <mario_limonciell> well as suspected /lib/partman/commit.d/01unmount_busy looks like it is causing this. the change that caused the error probably isn't in ubiquity then because that file hasn't changed in a while. it is more likely to be the representation of mount points now. /cdrom doesn't show up in /proc/mounts, but umount'ing /dev/sda2 complains that /cdrom can't be umounted [19:21] <mario_limonciell> so is this perhaps a side effect of switching to aufs? [19:26] <mario_limonciell> err actually cdrom *does* show in /proc/mounts, maybe it didn't before then [19:35] <cjwatson> I need to see /var/log/partman [19:35] <cjwatson> 01unmount_busy definitely shouldn't ever be trying to unmount /cdrom, regardless of the representation in /proc/mounts [19:39] <mario_limonciell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31395/ [19:40] <cjwatson> ok, and /var/log/syslog and /proc/mounts? [19:40] <cjwatson> (dinnertime though) [19:41] <mario_limonciell> i'll put this all on a bug then so it's not lost in pastebin's [19:47] <mario_limonciell> okay bug 252667 should have everything needed. [20:16] <CIA-1> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2758 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/base.py): Fix format string substitution error in _abstract method. [20:20] <Sp0tter> I have created an auto install cd, but at install time i'm getting a red screen that says 'The cdrom contains a cd which cannot be used for installation." What would cause this and how can it be resolved? [20:25] <cjwatson> Sp0tter: it usually means that you forgot to include the .disk directory on the CD, specifically .disk/info [20:26] <Sp0tter> interesting ok thanks [20:28] <cjwatson> well, strike that "usually" :-) that's the only possible cause [20:28] <Sp0tter> even better :) yep i used cp to copy the cd, i'm guessing that didn't include the .disk [20:30] <cjwatson> quite plausible [20:30] <cjwatson> * doesn't expand to leading-dot directories - just copy it over explicitly [20:34] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: are you sure your approach is sound here? with a filesystem mounted off /dev/sda2, you aren't going to be able to get the kernel to reread the partition table of /dev/sda [20:34] <cjwatson> which will cause you problems later, surely [20:34] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, well this is what has been used for 8.04.. [20:41] <cjwatson> I'm not sure why it didn't break before, but fundamentally that's what ubiquity's objecting to ;) [20:42] <cjwatson> (albeit in a rather obscure and roundabout way) [20:43] <cjwatson> I'm a little confused by some of what's going on in that code though, so will investigate more ... [20:43] <mario_limonciell> okay [21:24] <Sp0tter> I'm trying to make a basic fully-auto install (no extra packagse or anything fancy.. just default settings), I have my isolinux.cfg timeout on my entry that points to a seed and a kickstart file, and i have the debconf-prioirty to critical, but i still get the stupid What language question and the what keyboard mumbo jumbo, any ideas? [21:25] <Sp0tter> My isolinux.cfg is: http://rafb.net/p/FqhvKq14.html [22:03] * Sp0tter cries. [23:01] <cjwatson> Sp0tter: I'd have to see the kickstart file (minus any passwords). Also, it looks like you cut-and-pasted that from an editor and I'm not sure whether the line-wrapping worked? [23:02] <cjwatson> Sp0tter: (it looks like ks= may be on a separate line from append, which would be wrong, but I can't tell) [23:03] <Sp0tter> cjwatson, i've sense tried putting it on an append line, and that causes a kernel panic [23:03] <Sp0tter> I'll get the full files posted real fast [23:05] <Sp0tter> http://rafb.net/p/NvYgwf47.html [23:07] <Sp0tter> and that gives: Kernel panic - not syncing: VSF: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(8,1) [23:09] <cjwatson> you shouldn't do multiple append lines like that [23:09] <cjwatson> one big one [23:09] <Sp0tter> Will that make the difference, or just best practice? [23:10] <cjwatson> it'll very likely fix it - the error says that the kernel couldn't find its root filesystem, and that's probably because it doesn't have the initrd= parameter that you've put in the fourth append line out of five [23:11] <Sp0tter> oh man [23:11] <Sp0tter> I love you. [23:25] <Sp0tter> thanks, i've probably spent like 17 hours total trying to automate a basic install [23:25] <Sp0tter> I just learned today that I dont have to fumble with the keyring since i'm not adding packages heh |
