[Bug 653633] Re: live-media=device is no more supported in casper
I have a couple of remarks to formulate about this bug.
1. I have been unable to find where variable LIVEMEDIA_TIMEOUT is set.
If is is never set, it is useless. There are thus two solutions : either
remove it, or add boot parameter ( for example live-media-timeout=xx )
to set it.
2. A user who specifies live_media boot parameter ( generally ) does not want
to boot on another device. The use of this parameter did not work well because
the script fell back in normal scan when the attempt with LIVEMEDIA failed. The
race condition is generally not in favour of USB devices faced to other ones,
due to latency.
I prefer not to waste time in case of boot failure if there is a mistake in
live-media parameter rather than a successful boot on a wrong device. So, I
propose to make scan of LIVEMEDIA and normal scan mutually exclusive. In
find_livefs the code could be something like this ( letting drop
LIVEMEDIA_TIMEOUT ) :
if [ ! -z ${LIVEMEDIA} ]; then
# scan with LIVEMEDIA
else
# normal scan
fi

[Bug 364538] Re: Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT
Here is my detailed solution. In a running system, open a terminal and plug the USB stick created with usb-creator for example. I assume that the partition on the USB stick is mounted in /media/disk. In the attached file, comments begin with # and other lines are to be typed in the terminal. You can now unmount your USB stick and try booting with it. ** Attachment added: explanation http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26600238/explanation -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 364538] Re: Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT
I found a solution to this problem, recreating file casper/initrd.gz after updating script /init. This update consists to insert the following lines before line containing maybe_break mount : modprobe -r libusual sleep 3 modprobe usb-storage sleep 5 The second line is mandatory to let libusual' remove smoothly before loading usb-storage. Moreover, I successfully performed a non-regression test with a slow machine which was not concerned by this problem. -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 70561] Re: Xubuntu Desktop CD needs more than 128 MB RAM to boot
I found a way to install Xubuntu Dapper on a little machine ( laptop
IBM Thinkpad with 128 MB memory ).
The main problem is that ubiquity unmounts all swap parttions during
disk partitioning.
My solution needs two tricks :
1 Use a swap partition on a USB key,
2 Prevent ubiquity from unmounting it.
I added a third trick : create a little ext3 partition on the USB key
to store the interesting log files which are generally lost in case of
system crash or freeze ( unmounting swap partition on a machine with not
enough memory often leads to system freeze ).
In what follows, I suppose that the USB key is recognized as device 'sda'.
With gparted, create a swap partition sda1 of at least 100 MB, and an ext3
partiton sda2 of about 10 MB. Then, perform the following actions in a terminal
:
1 sudo su
# to feel quiet in following actions
2 swapon /dev/sda1
3 mkdir -p /media/sda2
4 mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 -t ext3 -o defaults
5 cd /media/sda2
6 touch syslog
7 touch partman
8 cd /var/log
9 ln -s /media/sda2/partman
10 mkdir -p installer
11 cd installer
12 ln -s /media/sda2/syslog
13 cd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity
14 rm -f misc.pyc
15 rm -f misc.pyo
# to force python interpreter to recompile misc.py file
16 mousepad misc.py
17 In 'disable_swap', replace line
if swap.startswith('/dev'):
by the three following lines
if swap.startswith('/dev/sda'):
pass
elif swap.startswith('/dev'):
then save the file and exit mousepad.
18 Launch the installer

[Bug 28413] Re: Error removing phpmyadmin with apt-get (Error 127: Syntax Error)
The problem comes from the fact that the following line has been forgotten at beginning of file /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.prerm : . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule DON'T FORGET the dot in column 1 !!! the sourcing of this file permits to call db_get without error. To do so, you may edit the file with nano ( sudo nano filename ) or gedit if you prefer a sophisticated editor ( gksudo gedit filename ). Then, you may safely remove the package with apt-get or synaptic. -- Error removing phpmyadmin with apt-get (Error 127: Syntax Error) https://launchpad.net/bugs/28413 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
