[Bug 1673605] Re: Preseeded btrfs installation fails on zesty amd64

2017-03-21 Thread Max Brustkern
I watched an installation with today's iso (20170321) and it was indicating that it was creating the btrfs filesystem for / when ubiquity stopped and the system rebooted. We're not getting as far as the success_command, so I don't think I can use that to copy logs out. Is there something I can do

I'm running these on a fast VM host. Is there any chance that the filesystem doesn't finish syncing before the qemu/kvm/libvirt VM restarts? That could explain the difference in contents between the different installs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

It looks like the installation never finished, but you say it appeared to finish, and prompt to restart? Strange... ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

I ran the test again. This time, I did get a /var directory under @ on the partition, but it's empty. /usr and /lib are populated; I can get a full file list if necessary, but it's very long, unlike the previous install. The preseed in use is here:

As I previously attempted to convey, that is an exhaustive list of files on the partition. This is the output of ls -lR: .: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40 Mar 9 15:57 @ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Mar 9 15:56 @home ./@: total 376520 drwxrwxr-x 1 root root10 Mar 9 15:56 etc drwxrwxr-x

Did you not understand that /@ is a directory, not a file? Look in /@/var/log/installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1673605 Title: Preseeded btrfs installation fails on zesty

The list I gave before comprised all of the files on the drive. The log files do not appear to be available after the installations I've seen complete. That was after mounting the only partition on the drive as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Is there a convenient way to access the installer environment on a preseeded install? I recall being able to ctrl-alt-f1, etc. in the past, but I think that's restricted on more recent builds. I can put a delay in the ubiquity success command to give myself the opportunity to get in and grab the

It used to be that you would see /@, which is normally mounted in /, and /@home, which is normally mounted in /home, thus the log files would be under /@/var/log/installer. I am not sure where these other directories came from. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
