[Bug 450260] Re: grub-probe fails with btrfs root (and ext3 /boot)

2010-05-05 Thread clacke
I'm running Lucid, and update-grub still fails in the same way.

Adding GRUB_DEVICE in /etc/default/grub is not enough, you also need the
|| true patch, because the script (grub-mkconfig) always tests for
root, before it even loads /etc/default/grub.

For me an acceptable fix would be that if GRUB_DEVICE is set in
default/grub, then don't run the test.

Is there any other way to indicate a btrfs volume for root than using
/dev/whatever? Saying that a certain block device is root isn't really
btrfs'y, since one block device may contain more than one volume, and
may contain less than all of one volume. Does root= accept anything like
BTRFSVOL=asdf or equivalent?

Copied /lib/firmware/isl3886 from Jaunty into Lucid's /lib/firmware/,
and now it works. Why did this file disappear from the linux-firmware
package and where would be the sanctioned way to get it in Lucid?

This is more serious than it seems, not simply a matter of convenience.
Packages like desktop-base, which runs update-grub in postinst, fail to
install properly when running on a btrfs root.

This is still a problem in openjdk-6 6b18~pre1-1ubuntu1. Installing
default-jdk-builddep forces a gcj install even though openjdk-6-jdk is

2010-03-06 Thread clacke
Ok, better example: apt-get build-dep any-java-package would likely
bring in java-compiler och java2-compiler, which would not be satisfied
by an already installed openjdk-6-jdk.

The reason I mentioned default-jdk-builddep is because the jython
package depends on it. The name led me to believe that it was a meta-
package for java compilation, since default-jdk on lucid i386 is
openjdk-6-jdk.

2010-03-06 Thread clacke
Is that ideal? Depending on a 'Provides:' seems more flexible that
depending on a meta-package. And the meta-package in question brings in
different jdk's on different platforms, so it doesn't really make builds
more predictable either. Anyway, I should probably take this to the
relevant mailing list instead of discussing further here.

2010-03-06 Thread clacke
I was just playing devil's advocate with myself and trying to understand
why one would want to depend on a package or meta-package instead of a
virtual dependency. And it certainly is the case that different
implementations differ in how well the implement the APIs and how much
they implement.

For me, coming from the outside, it seems more obvious to depend on
java2-compiler than on default-jdk. But this is not the forum to discuss
this. Instead of spamming this bug with my objections and/or
misunderstandings, I will start reading at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaPolicy and see where that leads. Thank you
for the time you have given me.

Problem fixed.

The package linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-15-generic was installed,
containing the lbm_cw_cfg80211 module. Removing the packaged removed the
conflict.

I still don't understand why that module was loaded, though. Did depmod
find symbols in lbm_cw_cfg80211 that p54pci needed, and which are also
provided by p54common?

[Bug 219199] Re: I cant compiled kernel source from kernel.org using kernel-package

2008-12-01 Thread clacke
 I solved it by doing make menuconfig and disabling xen client support.

The only reason I'm compiling my own kernel is to get xen support, so
that workaround is not an option for me.

[Bug 189193] Re: Installer crashed

2008-11-26 Thread clacke
I experienced this exact problem, and can shine some light on what's
happening.


The bug is: Ubiquity gives an unclear error message. Instead of something 
cryptic about the internals of the process, it should say cloop image not 
found. Please run Ubiquity from the install CD or mount the cloop image on 
/var/lib/ubiquity/source or preferable something even less cryptical.



I made a temporary install with debootstrap, then installed ubiquity to
make the real install, the same staged approach as Original Poster here
tried. This because the target computer lacks a CD drive.

The problem is this: Ubiquity expects to be run from the install CD.
After formatting partitions it expects to find
/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs or equivalent, to mount on
/var/lib/ubiquity/source. The next step is to copy the contents of said
directory to /target.

If Ubiquity cannot find the CD cloop image in any of the expected
locations, it happily continues with an empty /var/lib/ubiquity/source,
copies all its non-existing contents to /target, then goes on to
customize the copied filesystem. The first thing it does is set the
language, by writing /etc/default/locale. Since /etc/default does not
exist, the application breaks down at this point, with the error message
noted in the bug report.


So, workaround: Don't run ubiquity except from the CD. Or first mount the cloop 
image on /var/lib/ubiquity/sources. I did the latter, and successfully 
installed my system. Hopefully by noting this here, the next person to try this 
will be more lucky when searching for a solution.

Adding a feature request that running ubiquity from outside the install
CD should work. I have ideas for this. :-)

[Bug 302499] [NEW] Ubiquity should be able to run outside the install CD

2008-11-26 Thread clacke
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This is a feature request, based on bug #189193
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/189193.

Some users (at least two known in the world *ahem*) expect to be able to
install ubiquity on a normal system and then run it to configure a new
install on that same system. This does not work, because ubiquity
expects to find a cloop image to use verbatim as a base for the new
install, which it then customizes according to the user's choices.

Suggestion: When no cloop image is found:

1. Ubiquity instead does an extended debootstrap of the target,
   including e.g. ubuntu-desktop.

OR

2. Ubiquity, like HTTP-FUSE-Knoppix [1], uses httpfs [2] or some
   p2p-thing like Shark [3] to access a cloop image online.

   /c

[1] HTTP-FUSE-Knoppix, has root file system on http
http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/http-fuse/index-en.html
[2] httpfs, FUSE-module for transparent HTTP access.

[3] Shark, swarming downloads over Coral
