This way eager testers may subscribe to that report and know when the Live CD is expected to work and start filing bug reports for real bugs. Would you consider this for Karmic or LL? Well, of course we will often file bugs for our own reference, but to be honest I don't think testers would find such reports any easier to find than the current situation. They would typically be filed on packages currently believed to be actually causing a problem, rather than on some general live CD package (we don't want to have such a general live CD package because it would end up being a real nightmare to handle since everyone would file bugs on it any time they had any problem at all with the live CD), and I wouldn't want testers to have to trawl the entire bug database before getting started. I *am* sensitive to the amount of time that eager testers put in and I don't want them to waste their valuable time, neither by testing things that we already know don't work nor by having to trawl through the bug database before they even get started. I think the best policy, really, is for testers to assume that the entire world is broken at the start of a release cycle (which it often is; it sometimes turns out to be more efficient for us to just drop in all the new code from Debian and then fix it up as necessary, rather than being slow and careful at each step), and to only start testing once the release manager or somebody coordinating testing activities says it's worthwhile doing so. We're usually reasonably clear about this through such channels as iso.qa.ubuntu.com and #ubuntu-testing, I think; once you see a CD up for testing at an early alpha, you can fairly safely assume that by then it's received very basic smoke-testing and is not a complete waste of time. If there's anywhere where we're being unclear about this right now, I'd like to know about it so that we can fix it up. -- Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375352 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 375352] Re: Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions
casper isn't responsible for this - the bug is simply in the squashfs package. It should have been left there rather than bounced around all over the place. :-) Although this bug is fairly trivial in itself, the reason we hadn't fixed this until now was that there was basically no point in doing so until we had a reasonable solution for a union filesystem in Karmic, given that aufs is apparently no longer particularly sanely supportable on the 2.6.30 kernel. I've been on the road, which slowed things down, but I got unionfs-fuse working earlier this week as a stopgap measure until we get proper VFS-level union mounts in the kernel (which are coming soon), so it's now worthwhile to deal with this. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375352 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

Thank you for clearing this up, Colin. Where is the best place to file a bug report when a LiveCD doesn't boot (next time, for some other reason)? Is the process of how the LiveCD documented somewhere? I found the logs at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/ and http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/cd-build-logs/ . I have tried to find a bug report on the aufs support in the 2.6.30 kernel, but couldn't find one.

[Bug 375352] Re: Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions
In this case, the Karmic live CD was completely screwed, we knew about it and considered it just about top priority, but work on it was made difficult due to us all travelling to our developer summit and other related events. At the start of a release cycle you can usually expect that total across-the-board breakage such as this is already being handled. In general, casper is a reasonable place to file live CD problems, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper offers some advice on collecting debugging information. The live filesystem is built by livecd-rootfs, which is packaged; the actual ISO is built by a somewhat shakier pile of scripts that isn't packaged (http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/ and the stuff listed in configs/devel from there; you probably don't want to attempt to set this up unless you really REALLY have to ...). The lack of aufs support in the 2.6.30 kernel is not a bug; it's deliberate, since aufs has been repeatedly refused for merge upstream and current available patches don't apply to 2.6.30. We're going to get 'mount --union' pretty soon, which will be a proper solution available in the upstream kernel and should be far preferable to any of the previous options. -- Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375352 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 375352] Re: Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions
Still present for daily-live 20090520. I don't think this really is a bug in squashfs, though. Squashfs is the source package for the binary package squashfs-tools that you receive with your ubuntu installation. While it would be nice if this was upgraded to version 4.x for Karmic, the real problem here is that the automatic building of the daily-live images uses squashfs 3.x instead of 4.x. This is not a bug in ubuntu per se, but in the part of Launchpad responsible for making the CD-images. I think that part is Soyuz, so I have added that package to the bug report (I also considered launchpad-buildd, but from the description on https://launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd it seemed that Soyuz was the right place to file). -- Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375352 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

Actually, this seems to be a known issue.
