Re: Fwd: [Lubuntu-desktop] Installer issues with PPC Ocelot

[Walter Lapchynski]

Thanks again, Phil. I did add this to the one place I know of, bug 756719 in 
Launchpad. If it should go elsewhere or if more detail is required, let me know.

Hi QA,
for my limited knowledge, this seems like a problem in the build engine as it 
is affecting both lubuntu & ubuntu. I had previously pointed the OP to the 
bug affecting the 'mirror' problem. 

Should this be filed against Ubiquity or the build system, or something else? 
I'm certain that he would than happy to provide further information on what the 
system is doing etc if asked.
@ Walter, as you can see, I've asked the QA team to issue guidance as to where 
best to report the problem. Thanks for taking the time to report the issue, I 
hope to have good news for you soon.

Regards,
Phill.

To: "lubuntu-desk...@lists.launchpad.net" 




I was SO excited to see Lubuntu on Canonical with an Ocelot version. My 12" 
PowerBook G4 has been waiting forever for this.

Unfortunately, installation isn't going well. Desktop installer needed a bunch 
of upgrades (including to pygobject which caused an error) and then failed 
because of a supposedly fixed error in choose-mirror where "mirror" is the 
default rather than "ports.ubuntu.com." 


This error IS fixed in x86 Ocelot but not in PPC. Standard Ubuntu PPC Ocelot 
has the same issue, so this is not just Lubuntu.

I have tried to run Ubiquity without the network connection and yet still the 
installer attempts to download packages.


I tried the alternate install CD and it boots fine, but when it comes to 
detecting the cdrom, it fails. The BusyBox shell fails to reveal mention of the 
cdrom anywhere: syslog, dmesg, /proc, /dev, etc. I tried to try again many 
times over to no avail.


Interestingly, the latest Debian Squeeze PPC small CD, which I believe has the 
same installer, has no problems detecting the cdrom.

So I don't know where to go next but I'm hoping that maybe the choose-mirror 
fix can be applied to the PPC version or that perhaps there may be some config 
file (like sources.list but for choose-mirror) I could manually edit. 
Ideas?

Fwd: [Lubuntu-desktop] Installer issues with PPC Ocelot

Hi QA,

for my limited knowledge, this seems like a problem in the build engine as
it is affecting both lubuntu & ubuntu. I had previously pointed the OP to
the bug affecting the 'mirror' problem.

else? I'm certain that he would than happy to provide further information on
what the system is doing etc if asked.
