Re: Bug#401025: installation-report: Fails to mount encrypted LVM



Sorry for the late reply.  The forewarding via BTS to my mail address
seems to be broken and I'm not subscribed to the list.  Please CC me
to ensure quick answer.

Where did you see the reference to /var/log/debian-installer?

If I remember right when running reportbug installation-report .

Did you do the partitioning manually or did you use the encrypted LVM option for guided partitioning?

The later one.  I would have liked to do manual partitioning, but I
failed to find an option for this and thus I decided to go with the
default and do repartitioning later.

From the logs you provided, it looks like you may have hit a minor script error somewhere:

Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): [: Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): /: unknown operand Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): [: Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): /boot: unknown operand Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): [: Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062): /tmp: unknown operand Nov 30 10:18:47 main-menu[2237]: (process:12062):
The challenge is finding out where...

Could you try adding a line with 'set -x' at the top of
/lib/partman/definitions.sh _before_ you start partitioning your drive and try to reproduce the error? That should give us an almost complete debug log of partman.

Hmmm, at which stage should I do this?  You mean, boot from the install
CD and once I can switch to a virtual console change the script?

I would happyly provide more info if I'm sure I understand you right.
(Please CC me in case I miss your mail again.)

Kind regards

          Andreas.
