| [08:53] <CIA-1> net-retriever: cjwatson * r348 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.21ubuntu1 | |
| [09:49] <evand> cjwatson: Now that pkl is gone, who handles squashfs bugs such as (presumably) bug 199997 ? | |
| [10:13] <cjwatson> evand: cking I think | |
| [10:14] <cjwatson> he used to work at Phillips with pkl, and got a briefing on it from him back then | |
| [10:56] <xivulon> davmor2 have 1 test for you | |
| [10:57] <davmor2> Np's what what is it? | |
| [10:57] <xivulon> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wubi-move-to-partition | |
| [10:57] <xivulon> sudo sh wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 | |
| [10:57] <xivulon> That is a small script to migrate wubi to a dedicated partition | |
| [10:58] <xivulon> replace sda9 with the partition which will host /. replace sda10 with the swap partition (or omit the second argument alltogether) | |
| [10:58] <xivulon> i tried yesterday without swap partition and worked for me | |
| [10:59] <davmor2> right I'll give it a go 10 minutes or so though just need to finish the bit I'm doing first | |
| [10:59] <xivulon> np | |
| [11:16] <davmor2> xivulon: with swap as well it plays up but with just sda6 for main it works | |
| [11:17] <xivulon> a great it was a quick hack and didn't have time yesterday to test swap :P | |
| [11:17] <xivulon> davmor2: you checked you booted to a real partition with mount, correct? | |
| [11:17] <davmor2> xivulon: I did wubi-move-to-partition /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 and it complained that dev/sda7 wasn't a block device | |
| [11:18] <davmor2> yes logging in now | |
| [11:19] <xivulon> if [ -n "$swapdev" ] && [ ! -b "$swapdev" ]; then | |
| [11:19] <xivulon> ^ I guess that is the code that complains | |
| [11:19] <davmor2> pass I'm no coder :) | |
| [11:20] <xivulon> login/reboot are all good? | |
| [11:21] <davmor2> how do you check that your on sda6? Plus it hung at swap but I guess that is due to the issue with no swap variable | |
| [11:21] <xivulon> cat /proc/mounts | grep sda6 | |
| [11:21] <xivulon> you should see / mounted on that | |
| [11:22] <xivulon> you can comment swap in /etc/fstab for the time being | |
| [11:22] <xivulon> hem I guess there will be no entry in fstab anyway... | |
| [11:24] <davmor2> somethings not right. I'll setup the system again It may be chaotic I needed to do a xubuntu install along side the vista one about an hour and I'll try again | |
| [11:25] <xivulon> ok thanks | |
| [12:43] <xivulon> evand you might also want to test the script above (in vm add an extra partition or two) | |
| === mpt_ is now known as mpt | |
| === cr3_ is now known as cr3 | |
| [15:11] <davmor2> xivulon: right finally back to where I can test. I just thought do the partitions need to exist already or does the wubi-move... create them? | |
| === mpt_ is now known as mpt | |
| [15:59] <xivulon> davmor2: the partitions need to exist | |
| [15:59] <xivulon> it does not matter if they are not formatted though | |
| [15:59] <xivulon> also note that the script will override your MBR | |
| [16:00] <xivulon> pointing to grub within the new partition (run grub-install and/or grub to restore it after installation) | |
| === foka_ is now known as foka | |
| [16:36] <davmor2> xivulon: okay ta I'll try again :) | |
| === mpt_ is now known as mpt | |
| [16:47] <davmor2> xivulon: running now I think that the swap partition was missing last time. This time I used vista to create 2 extra partitions and now wubi-move seems to be working correctly | |
| [16:58] <xivulon> davmor2 can you login/reboot fine? does grep -w / /proc/mounts show that you are onto the dedicated partition? | |
| [17:01] <davmor2> there was a grub error 17 at the end of the install :( . How ever just tried running the script again and it says /dev/sda5 in use ? | |
| [17:02] <xivulon> davmor2: yes the script will refuse to install if a partation contains any file (for obvious reasons). So to reinstall run mkfs /dev/sda5 first | |
| [17:03] <xivulon> mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5 | |
| [17:03] <xivulon> (you might need to unmount /tmp/wubit* first) | |
| [17:06] <xivulon> davmor2: you might want to append "set -x" at the beginning of the script and in case post the relevant section of the output | |
| [17:12] <xivulon> davmor2: pls replace "gdisk=${gdisk#(}" with "gdisk=${gdisk#\(}" | |
| [17:35] <davmor2> transferring now :) | |
| [17:41] <davmor2> No error code this time :) rebooting now | |
| [17:42] <davmor2> xivulon: That's done it grub has kicked in now :) | |
| [17:42] <xivulon> davmor2: let me know if it is all good | |
| [17:43] <xivulon> that was using ${gdisk#\(} correct? | |
| [17:46] <davmor2> sda5 is mounted on / | |
| [17:46] <davmor2> :) | |
| [17:46] <xivulon> great your the second human being having migrated wubi 8.04 to real partition | |
| [17:46] <davmor2> I used gparted to be sure :) | |
| [17:47] <davmor2> xivulon: I'll just run vista now and make sure that isn't screwed :) | |
| [17:48] <xivulon> Would be cool to run the migration tool from add/remove programs "Remove Windows" :) | |
| [17:48] <davmor2> just use gparted ;) | |
| [17:48] <xivulon> not as kool | |
| [17:49] <xivulon> just kidding | |
| [17:49] <davmor2> xivulon: Vista is okay too :( | |
| [17:49] <xivulon> I can add a couple of lines to the script to fix that too :) | |
| [17:49] <davmor2> :D | |
| [17:50] <davmor2> Right I'm off now any way have a good night :) | |
| [17:51] <xivulon> (for the record) thx davmor2 | |
