| 14:30 mikap | Mrfai: the console in fai client installation is pretty broken :-/ is this because of the FAI logo stuff? |
| 14:32 oz_ | mikap: yes. |
| 14:32 oz_ | touch /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/.nocolorlog |
| 14:32 oz_ | touch /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/.nocolorlogo |
| 14:32 oz_ | sry. |
| 14:32 mikap | yeah, trying that |
| 14:33 mikap | touch /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/.nocolorlogo :) |
| 14:33 oz_ | okay :) |
| 14:39 Mrfai | or just call reset once in the console |
| 14:40 oz_ | Mrfai: that won't fix all problems. |
| 14:41 Mrfai | I never had problems after calling reset. What are your problems then? |
| 14:41 oz_ | line-wrap. |
| 14:44 oz_ | ... and the boot history is gone |
| 14:47 Mrfai | everything is also available in the log files |
| 14:48 oz_ | it destroys nothing, I agree. |
| 14:48 oz_ | but it takes time to figure it out and why browse into logfile if you could read it from the console anyway? |
| 14:49 mikap | Mrfai: reset doesn't work |
| 14:49 oz_ | and one _never_ needs a logo except to show-off. |
| 14:50 mikap | Mrfai: why can't /etc/init.d/rcS be re-executed? |
| 14:52 Mrfai | mikap: I don't know? Never tried it. |
| 14:52 Mrfai | I think some things will not work, for e.g. restarting sshd is not implemented |
| 14:52 Mrfai | fai just starts it, not checking if it already runs. |
| 14:53 Mrfai | Same for mounting some specific directories, like config space |
| 14:55 mikap | Mrfai: that's what i don't get :) IMO this should just work[tm] :) |
| 14:57 Mrfai | Yes, but the "just work[tm]" is obstructed by the "give me more time" patents :-) |
| 15:01 mikap | no, proper design :) |
| 15:05 mikap | mt: http://grml.org/tmp/fai_format_log.txt -> pvremove is missing for whatever reason :-/ on second execution it works |
| 15:06 mikap | Mrfai: does "man less" work for you on fai's install console? |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 15:10 oz_ | Mrfai: to be honest, the console is _very_ broken. |
| 15:10 oz_ | steals some time during installs. |
| 15:12 Mrfai | when I do remote login man less works |
| 15:13 mikap | yeah, the console *is* broken, "reset" fails with "standard error: Invalid argument" |
| 15:14 Mrfai | even on the console man less work perfect. |
| 15:14 Mrfai | I see the "invalid argument" error very seldom. |
| 15:14 mikap | Mrfai: after fai installation or its breakage? don't think so ;) |
| 15:15 Mrfai | during installation. For e.g. at the end when typing ctrl-c |
| 15:15 mikap | Mrfai: just works on tty != tty1 |
| 15:15 mikap | mt: http://grml.org/tmp/format_log_working.txt -> after re-execution, whereas http://grml.org/tmp/fai_format_log.txt is the initial output (yeah, applied -d to the setup-storage call) |
| Action: mikap pretty annoyed... |

| 16:57 mikap | wholy cow! |
| 16:59 Mrfai | I think mount2dir needs set -e |
| 17:01 mikap | it has exit 4 inside and the outside code checks for -eq :-/ |
| 17:02 oz_ | mikap: so, you know the fix! |
| 17:02 Mrfai | Oh shit. Wrong test. Sure -ge would be much better. |
| Action: oz_ tries alway to look on the bright side of life |
| 17:02 Mrfai | But I'm not sure if every error during the run of mount2dir is catched. So set -e would also be good |
| 17:02 mikap | Mrfai: -ne! |
| 17:03 Mrfai | mikap: OK. Are negative exit codes possible? |
| 17:04 mikap | Mrfai: in shell they are undefined behaviour |
| 17:04 mikap | mount2dir $FAI_ROOT $LOGDIR/fstab |
| 17:04 mikap | if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then |
| 17:04 mikap | sendmon "TASKERROR mountdisks 705" |
| 17:04 mikap | this catches my issue.... though i really don't want to know what might break then... |
| 17:05 mikap | and looking at "swapon -p1 $sd" i might come up with a swap-device using spaces inside... |
| 17:07 FBI | fai: 3 lange committed revision 6231 to 7 fai: catch every exit code != 0 from mount2dir |

| 19:07 Mrfai | hi brad |
| 19:07 ballison | i was sitting on the efnet #fai wondering why no one was there. :) |
| 19:07 ballison | Hi Thomas. thanks for your help thus far |
| 19:07 ballison | do you prefer me to talk in the open channel or via /msg's ? |
| 19:07 Mrfai | what is your FAI_VERSION inside the nfsroot? |
| 19:08 ballison | export FAI_VERSION="FAI 3.1.8, 13 Mar 2007" |
| 19:09 Mrfai | ok, it's older than your version on your install server. That's why make-fai-nfsroot -vk does not work. |
| 19:09 Mrfai | mabe rename your actual nfsroot to nfsroot.old |
| 19:10 Mrfai | then recreate a new nfsroot using make-fai-nfsroot -v |
| 19:10 Mrfai | Now, I have to leave. Please post if this works. I will get the irc logs |
| Mrfai (~lange@malzmuehle.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving |

| 19:20 ballison | I'm trying to run make-fai-nfsroot -vk and getting all sorts of chroot errors like , "chroot: cannot run command `apt-get': No such file or directory" |
| 19:28 alekibango | ballison: did you rebuild it again? |
| 19:29 ballison | no |
| 19:29 ballison | i tried to rebuild it and it was even worse |
| 19:29 ballison | same errors - chroot errors |
| 19:30 ballison | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UGeigY1M |
| 19:30 alekibango | waht is your current fai version? |
| 19:30 ballison | that's what happened when i moved the nfsroot to nfsroot.old and reran make-fai-nfsroot -v |
| 19:30 alekibango | which debian version? |
| 19:30 ballison | alek: that's what confusing. |
| 19:31 alekibango | do you ahve approx running? |
| 19:31 ballison | hold and i'll show you . the versions reported on teh file system and the version reported via dpkg do not match. |
| 19:31 alekibango | you are still using etch in that config :) |
| 19:31 alekibango | that should be lenny now |
| 19:31 alekibango | or even squeeze :D |
| 19:31 ballison | etch server. |
| 19:31 ballison | hold |
| 19:32 alekibango | ballison: i dont know, i do not run etch for years now |
| 19:32 alekibango | ballison: downlaoding etch base failed |
| 19:33 alekibango | not sure why |
| 19:33 alekibango | you migth try to increase verbosity of approx |
| 19:33 alekibango | or use another url for debian mirror |
| 19:33 alekibango | http://etchmirror:9999/debian/dists/etch/Release <- this failed |
| 19:34 alekibango | ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/ <-- there is no etch |
| 19:34 alekibango | you should really upgrade to debian lenny |
| 19:34 alekibango | :D |
| 19:35 alekibango | or maybe squeeze which will be stable really soon now |
| 19:35 alekibango | (TM) |
| 19:36 ballison | yeah - i've been at this company for 4 days and was told to go install a server |
| 19:36 ballison | the guy who set these fai servers up isn't here. |

| 19:40 ballison | how do i know that i'm running etch? |
| 19:41 ballison | the debian_release file says 5.0.4 |
| 19:41 ballison | i'm to assume that's etch |
| 19:42 ballison | well the name of the box is "etchmirror" so maybe that's a clue. :) |

| 20:50 ballison | my boss wants to keep using the older version of FAI and just rebuild the kernel that the initrd uses |
| 20:50 ballison | is there a way to do this? |
| 20:52 ballison | basically i need to know how to build a FAI kernel that's bootable with all the drivers I need. |

| 21:50 ballison | i still can't find a way to build a fai kernel |
| 21:50 ballison | i've poked around and see you _can_ do it. i just can't find where it says HOW you do it. |
| 21:55 ballison | is there a page somewhere that describes how to be a kernel FOR USE with fai -and- tells you how to get fai to use it? |
