[10:08] i must use bash, my datacenter sysadmin must use bash (in standard post install ...) [10:13] you cannot use bash. it is not there. [10:13] you only have busybox sh in the installer environment. [10:13] show me your %post script and I'll be entirely happy to convert it to ordinary sh for you; this is a trivial operation [10:14] in fact there's often nothing to convert [10:14] oki I will convince my sysadmin [10:15] your sysadmin should recognise that there is a very large subset of bash which can be used in plain POSIX /bin/sh [10:15] (this isn't Solaris /bin/sh, which is considerably less capable) [10:16] oki i demand to my sysadmin to show his bash script [10:17] hmm, well [10:17] actually [10:17] strictly speaking if you aren't using --nochroot then you ought to be allowed to use --interpreter /bin/bash [10:17] (sorry, I've only just woken up ...) [10:17] I had forgotten that --nochroot wasn't the default [10:18] I'll make that change in kickseed for feisty. As I say, though, it shouldn't block you, because all bash scripts can be rewritten to work in sh with at most minor modifications. [10:18] oki good :-) [10:19] it's a bit more than just removing that check in post.sh, because /bin/sh is hardcoded elsewhere [10:20] not a huge change, but hard to describe over IRC [10:20] oki [10:20] thanks [11:09] ok, kickseed thus improved in feisty [11:09] thanks for the report; sorry I incorrectly dismissed it at first [11:09] no problem, great thanks === cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-installer [01:48] cjwatson: seems like qt4 ubiquity does the guided partitioning immediately after you click Next without warning, is that something I missed out or something that hasn't been put back in yet? [01:51] it should calculate the new partitions but not actually commit them until after the summary page. AFAIK that's working in gtk+qt3 [01:54] yes, it was, I wonder what i missed out [01:59] the summary page implementation maybe? [02:00] that code path can be hairy ... [02:07] is there an extra mainloop nesting there? the way I've coded it the flag will only know about 1 nesting [02:29] Riddell: there used to be, but isn't any more [02:30] cjwatson: what changed? [02:31] it was made a whole lot less crackful [02:31] I rewrote the partitioning commit step [02:34] so it should just work without coding anything special, instead of wiping my hard disk at the wrong time [02:34] do you see the summary page at all? [02:34] choose Guided paritioning, click Next -> progress box saying hard disk being wiped [02:35] I'm not convinced by the on_steps_switch_page change you made [02:36] is there nothing like the aboutToShow signal any more? [02:36] IMO it should be done with signals to make sure that we handle page changes properly event if they aren't done via set_current_page [02:38] - if step == "stepWelcome": [02:38] + if step == str("stepWelcome"): [02:38] >>> "stepWelcome".__class__ [02:38] [02:38] why that change? [02:41] other than that, unclear - trying it myself now [02:41] it wasn't matching, at least on one of the places in that if bunch, I didn't look into why [02:42] brb, parents === Riddell off out, going to give this holiday thing a try [03:18] have fun :) I'll see what I can fix up [04:16] Riddell: can't reproduce here [04:17] I had to fix a partman problem to stop parted_server segfaulting and see the content of the autopartitioning page at all, but that's not your problem ... [05:36] hey - i'm looking for packages on the dapper cd that aren't installed by ubuntu-standard or ubuntu-desktop so i can remove them as i'm after creeping a little over burnable size... [05:37] that, or i'd like to modify what counts as "ubuntu-desktop" === jerom1 [n=jeromeb@LSt-Amand-152-32-6-178.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has left #ubuntu-installer [] [05:48] allmanj: look at the Task lines in the Packages file and/or study https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement [05:49] dapper appears to have an ubuntu-desktop package... is this not used? === allmanj looks at the ship seed [05:53] sure, it's used [05:54] but as a component of the task ... [05:54] language packs are a normal-ish thing to strip out [05:54] i'm thinking the samba server is a candidate [05:54] sounds reasonable [05:55] aye - it's big and i'm pretty sure i'll never need it === macogw [n=ubuntu@161.253.10.235] has joined #ubuntu-installer [10:12] what does ubiquity show up as in the system monitor's processes list? it froze installing feisty -.- [10:16] the X button in the top right doesnt do anything. minimize and maximize work just dandy === rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-installer
