| [00:00] <superm1> or /host/ubuntu/mythtv I suppose | |
| [00:00] <xivulon> yep, although you cannot be completely sure about /host/ubuntu but will do for 8.10 | |
| [00:00] <cjwatson> ./autopartition-loop:285: mkdir -p "/host${path%/*}" | |
| [00:01] <cjwatson> so yes | |
| [00:02] <superm1> xivulon, why wouldn't /host/ubuntu do it? isn't that where the loop image gets stored? | |
| [00:03] <xivulon> finished copying now | |
| [00:03] <xivulon> so seems syncio is in because it seems a bit slower, not 10x worse though as predicted by cking | |
| [00:04] <xivulon> superm1 yes, but in the future it might be /host/mythbuntu | |
| [00:05] <superm1> xivulon, well what happens for kubuntu,xubuntu etc? | |
| [00:05] <superm1> do they get /host/xubuntu? | |
| [00:06] <xivulon> no all in /host/ubuntu in 8.10, I meant things might change in future versions, but we will have time to do it properly then | |
| [00:10] <mathiaz> hm - in a partman recipe, if I set a priority that is bigger than the size of the disk is, the install fails (with an unable to create partition error) | |
| [00:11] <mathiaz> is that expected ? although the minimum size fits the disk | |
| [00:12] <mathiaz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/53318/ <- that's the partman expert recipe - however the drives are 1GB in size. | |
| [00:13] <mathiaz> the last partition is not created. | |
| [00:15] <cjwatson> mathiaz: I'm totally not going there after midnight, but you can ask me again tomorrow ... | |
| [00:16] <mathiaz> cjwatson: sure | |
| [00:17] <superm1> xivulon, ah well that would just be modfiying the preseed anyway if that behavior changed | |
| [00:18] <superm1> xivulon, i'll do some experiments with a preseed for master backend frontend then too and see how things work out | |
| [00:18] <xivulon> cool | |
| [00:18] <xivulon> have a build ready | |
| [00:18] <xivulon> test went well | |
| [00:18] <xivulon> other than nm | |
| [00:20] <xivulon> I think that the main advantage of allowing a backend is sparing me the trouble to answer "What is a backend? Why can't I press forward?" :P | |
| [00:21] <xivulon> evand wubi rev 509 is up | |
| [00:31] <xivulon> superm1 http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-8.10-rev509.exe | |
| [00:34] <xivulon> evand wubi 509 is required if we have lupin 111+ | |
| [09:27] <xivulon> hi, didn't notice that the kde3.5 -kde4 dicothomy has been abolished | |
| [09:28] <xivulon> will need a new revision for wubi | |
| [09:29] <davmor2> xivulon: Yes kubuntu is just kde 4.1.2 now | |
| [09:36] <xivulon> Ok uploaded wubi rev 5.10 (evand all yours), Davmor, please test http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-8.10-rev510.exe | |
| [09:36] <xivulon> davmor2 ^ | |
| [09:36] <xivulon> that also contains the uninstaller progressbar fix by the way | |
| [09:36] <xivulon> have to go now | |
| [10:02] <cjwatson> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ - some folks here might be interested in that set of landing pages | |
| [10:02] <cjwatson> they're just links to the right bits of the archive | |
| [10:05] <davmor2> cjwatson: sweet | |
| [10:08] <persia> cjwatson: Should those be scheduled to test cases, etc. as with other images? | |
| [10:10] <davmor2> persia: netboot is | |
| [10:10] <persia> Ah. I suppose I was confused by two images vs. 7 images, but it all becomes clear now. | |
| [10:11] <davmor2> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/netboot/all | |
| [10:11] <persia> Yeah :) | |
| [10:12] <cjwatson> I'll update for older releases as well when I have a chance | |
| [10:42] <davmor2> I've just done all the vista updates and am resaving the partitions. 15.85 GB for vista and nearly 2 gig for system partition so nearly 20gig total | |
| [11:35] <xivulon> evand can we have a new iso with new wubi (510) and lupin (115) and sysvinit (2.86.ds1-59ubuntu9)? | |
| [11:36] <davmor2> xivulon: is this to remedy the loop issue | |
| [11:37] <cjwatson> xivulon: let's wait for the cron jobs to be turned back on | |
| [11:37] <xivulon> ok | |
| [11:37] <cjwatson> Steve hasn't done that so it wouldn't surprise me if he's intentionally letting cdimage cope with the beta load for a while | |
| [11:38] <xivulon> davmor2: what loop issue do you refer to exactly? | |
| [11:40] <davmor2> xivulon: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/204133 this one | |
| [11:40] <xivulon> ah yes | |
| === davmor2 is now known as davmor2_lunch | |
| [14:30] <superm1> xivulon, okay i downloaded it. i'm going to do a build today with my own patched network manager on our hotfixes PPA and make sure that network manager bug is resolved | |

| [16:25] <xivulon> cjwatson, cking was mentioning that it might be better to use dm-loop as opposed to loop for performance reasons, do you think it would be feasible? | |
| [16:28] <cjwatson> I don't know anything about it - it doesn't *sound* difficult | |
| [16:31] <xivulon> would not think so, I have asked cking to join us though | |
| [16:31] <xivulon> hi cking, was discussing with cjwatson about your suggestion to use dm-loop as opposed to losetup | |
| [16:32] <cking_> Ok. its a case of modprobing dm-loop and then I using dmlosetup (this is a symlink to the dmsetup binary) | |
| [16:32] <cjwatson> does that amount to some arguments to dmsetup? | |
| [16:32] <cjwatson> (otherwise we could change dmsetup-udeb to add that symlink I suppose) | |
| [16:33] <cjwatson> is dmlosetup equivalent to mount in that setup? | |
| [16:33] <cking_> cjwatson: The rune I used was: | |
| [16:33] <cking_> dmlosetup loop1 /mnt/ntfs/wubi_ext3.img | |
| [16:34] <cking_> and then mount -o loop /dev/mapper/loop1 /some/mount/point | |
| [16:34] <cking_> that's it | |
| [16:35] <cking_> ..of course the path names need to be changed to match the Wubi config | |
| [16:35] <xivulon> if I want to list the loop devices, can I still use losetup? | |
| [16:35] <cking_> xivulon: not sure. never tried that | |
| [16:36] <xivulon> would be good to know as some script that does not actually mount the devices, might be using losetup to check the setup | |
| [16:37] <xivulon> or detach them | |
| [16:40] <cking_> dmlosetup -f is reporting that this it's not currently implemented .. and AFAIK losetup won't help us for this case | |
| [16:54] <cking_> xivulon: mm.. I don't know how to list the dmloop devices. | |
| [16:57] <xivulon> does $(dmlosetup /dev/loop$loopn) spit out the same string as losetup? | |
| [17:02] <cking_> xivulon: ..just a mo. | |
| [17:09] <cking_> xivulon: /dev/mapper is populated with loopN when loopN is created. You can therefore tell which dm-loop devices are being used | |
| [17:11] <cking_> /dev/mapper/control should always exist for 0-N dm-loop devices | |
| [17:12] <superm1> xivulon, can you pop in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | |
| [17:12] <superm1> tgm has some more questions | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> the files that need to be modifed should only be autopartition-loop and initramfs/scripts/local | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> init.d scripts should be fine, have to check grub/grub-installer but should be ok | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> superm1 sure | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> #ubuntu-mythtv-dev again | |
| [17:13] <xivulon> ops paste gone wrong | |
| [17:20] <cjwatson> dmlosetup doesn't exist in Ubuntu | |
| [17:20] <cking_> cjwatson: it's a symlink to dmsetup | |
| [17:20] <cjwatson> not here it ain't | |
| [17:20] <cjwatson> command-not-found reckons it's not in intrepid | |
| [17:21] <cking_> cjwatson: one needs to symlink it by (hand at the moment) - which needs to be fixed | |
| [17:21] <cjwatson> ah | |
| [17:21] <cjwatson> somebody should file a bug on devmapper about that | |
| [17:22] <cking_> cjwatson: yep... I seemed to overlook it back in July when I started faffing around with dm-loop | |
| [17:31] <cking_> cjwatson: I will create a bug report in a short while for this | |
