[12:03] Kamion: do you have an announcement prepared already? [12:03] not even a little bit [12:03] thom says ETA: 30 minutes [12:03] mako: ping,, re: array 4 announcement [12:04] I'm starting one now [12:04] um ... I was just going to do it based on the array 3 announcement, I think that's worked pretty well so far [12:04] ok [12:04] was looking for a copy [12:04] you send these to where, -devel and -users? [12:05] yeah [12:05] I always need to go through the installer changes I've made in order to write the release notes anyway [12:08] haha, bonus, due to the lazy way I wrote the end of publish-release, all I needed to do was 'publish-release daily 20050204.2 install no array-4; publish-release daily-live 20050204.2 live no array-4' [12:08] the only interesting user-visible casper change is that it doesn't cause init to emit scary messages anymore [12:08] hrm I'm tired, night everyone! [12:08] mdz: ok, thanks [12:08] that's since array 3.5 live right? [12:08] yes [12:09] Kamion: Does the installer have tac and tsort available to it when it's running hotplug, or are you just in busybox land at that point? [12:11] jbailey: busybox [12:12] hello [12:12] mdz: how are users expected to upgrade ubuntu when a new version is out [12:12] mdz: and the localisation fix [12:13] mdz: Thanks. Time to conjure some awk magic, I guess =) [12:13] Kamion: oh, good call [12:13] jbailey: neither appears to be in busybox [12:13] mdz: all the answers I can think of involving altering a setting to point at a new source, whether using synaptec's package manager or editing some files [12:13] Kamion: No, they're definetly not. [12:13] Thanks, though. [12:14] mdz: (have you confirmed it to work, actually?) [12:14] Kamion: let me do a quick test [12:15] someone did confirm it at the time, sivang I think [12:17] mdz: ok I have a /shadow-working and a /shadow-prestine, what args do I need to force feed patch to get the output you need? [12:17] robertj: diff -ruN [12:20] Kamion: confirmed, it works === T-Bone is now known as T-None [12:22] mdz: note to self: doh!

[12:24] mdz: oh, never mind, found it [12:24] 3.5 went to -announce because it was the first live CD milestone EVAR [12:25] do you think we should do broader announcements of any Arrays, or not until Preview? [12:25] Mm.. no awk in the busybox udeb. [12:26] what's the required task? [12:27] mdz: not until preview, I feel [12:28] I think the announcements to -users and -devel have served the intended purpose of Sounders and Arrays pretty well up to now; they've had a substantial amount of interest and testing, but not volumes that we can't cope with during development [12:28] mdz: could you glance over http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/array-4-announce? [12:30] jbailey: sed, tr, and 'while read ...; do' tend to be enough for most things IME ...

That's not much use to us, though [12:12] Currently it's not possible to usefully support normal batteries /and/ smart batteries [12:14] mjg59: hmmm... incompatibility between two kinds ? [12:14] and wouldn't it be possible to have a specific kernel for smart batteries ? [12:14] No [12:15] The maintenance hassle would be large [12:15] there are major benefits for us in having just one supported set of kernels === sivang just experienced a very strong lightning. machines started to work, displays glittered [12:15] mjg59: ok... So I suppose the only way is to wait for an upgraded version of the patch, that could work for both situations ?

[12:35] Mithrandir: it's not extraordinarily difficult, but I want to do it for all frontends which is a fair bit of API research [12:35] true. [12:36] I can imagine the "editor" frontend having some problems there. [12:36] and the http one [12:36] I actually implemented a little bit of the PROGRESS interface in debconf recently, just enough to allow it to passthrough to cdebconf [12:36] well, some of them would certainly have to ignore it, that goes without saying ... [12:36] I suppose I could do it for dialog and make the rest fail or something [12:36] or capb it :) [12:37] I think capb is the way to go, really. [12:37] guess so. I added progress to cdebconf's capb recently too. [12:38] and capb can be per-frontend ... [12:38] yup [12:38] MPE [12:39] MPE?

[06:24] i am tempted to make / a evms volume... [06:24] wonder what the potential to do that automatically in ubuntu is. it kind of solves the drive order problem. [06:26] wasabi: it allows so many things...I was amazed to see it, and it has complete backward compatibility with lvms [06:26] wasabi: meaning you can leave your volumes as they were and evms would use them no prob [06:26] yeah it seems that doing that is better [06:26] using lvm as the disk linker [06:27] I am using everything bu /boot under lvms on the laptop, should switch to evms sometime [06:27] I'm thinking that if hte Ubuntu initrd has evms support... then I should be able to pass root=/dev/evms/root to the kernel. [06:27] does ubuntu's initrd support it? [06:28] See, this solves my one big problem... I can't hot swap my sata drives, because they make linux reorder sda to sdb, etc... causing grub to not boot and fstab to be inaccurate. [06:28] I am using lvms on the lappi, and /boot is the only partiton not under lvm, so at least for lvm it has? [06:28] seems so. [06:28] ah well, go ahead and test it on some non important data :) [06:28] heh [06:30] sivang: no, you test with real important data [06:30] sivang: that way you can blame the developers [06:30] Treenaks: hehe, I always do, but I reckon wasabi has much more important data then I have on my syste :) [06:30] sivang: to auto mount an evms vol, you just plug the evms path into fstab right? [06:31] I have been moving 600GB of anime back and forth between hd's for two days, reformatting ubuntu, and setting up evms. [06:31] wasabi: I am not sure, just read a couple of bits about it , using lvm on the laptop, not evms. [06:31] ahh. [06:31] did you see evms? [06:31] it's even better. ;0 [06:31] wasabi: I read about it sometime ago, after mdz noted to me it's apparent benefits. [06:32] wasabi: I think on my lvm entries in the fstab on the laptop, it as simple IIRC [06:32] I'm seriously beginning to think that if Ubuntu set it up by default during an install, making / an evms vol, it would be Really Neat.

[10:07] azeem: this can't get woody or sarge installed, and can't even try ubuntu because the machine is 10 years old and doesn't do boot from cd in the bios [10:09] you can install sarge via floppies [10:09] azeem: but I think the grub idea is a good one, since it'd be more of a generic boot-from-cd disk, which means the problem only has to be solved once.
