Description Wernfried Haas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-14 12:38:52 UTC
boot gentoo-nofb nox nodhcp
net-setup eth0 (192.168.1.156)
start sshd
set root password

log in via ssh
cd /
/opt/installer/misc/getgli
cd /installer/src/fe/dialog/
screen
./gli-dialog.py

real -> standard -> cancel -> no -> skip to menu -> partitioning -> WORKS

real -> standard -> cancel -> no -> wizard mode -> save&cont in partition menu

-> save -> stage1 -> http://192.168.0.75/stage1-x86-2005.1.tar.bz2 -> sync ->
ok (3x) -> genkernel -> grub -> whatever timezone -> skip nics -> save, some
root pass
review final setting:
x Partitioning:                                                             x
x   Key: Minor, Pri/Ext, Filesystem, MkfsOpts, Mountpoint, MountOpts, Size. x
x   Drive: /dev/hdaQEMU HARDDISK                                            x
x     1 - Primary (linux-swap, none, none, none, 298MB)                     x
x     2 - Primary (ext3, none, none, none, 2769MB)                          x

-> Yes: -> 1: Partitioning -> boom:
Traceback (most recent call last):

dialog.DialogError: <DialogError: the dialog-like program exited with code 3

same thing, this time i set up partitioning to actually make sense:
x Partitioning:                                                             x
x   Key: Minor, Pri/Ext, Filesystem, MkfsOpts, Mountpoint, MountOpts, Size. x
x   Drive: /dev/hdaQEMU HARDDISK                                            x
x     1 - Primary (linux-swap, none, none, sw, 298MB)                       x
x     2 - Primary (ext3, none, /, defaults, 2769MB)                         x

results in same error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Wernfried Haas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 09:44:11 UTC
Ok, using installer-20050815 now. I tried skipping directly to partitioning,
setting it up. If you go back to partitioning, it still crashes. Same thing
happens if you don't skip but go through the wizard.
Same error message as above.
Comment 2 Preston Cody (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-16 10:24:23 UTC
this should be fixed in CVS now.
from the root prompt run /opt/installer/misc/getgli
then cd installer/src/fe/dialog
then ./gli-dialog.py
Comment 3 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-24 13:46:31 UTC
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
