| CIA-4 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r1838 ubiquity/debian/changelog: reorganise changelog | 09:02 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r1839 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/partman.py): | 09:03 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: - Offer 'fat16' and 'fat32' filesystem types for new partitions rather | 09:03 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: than the non-existent 'fat' (LP: #83211). | 09:03 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r1840 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py): - Fix crash when backing up to automatic partitioning page (LP: #83230). | 09:07 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r1841 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py): | 09:13 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: * Fix crash due to underqualification of debconf.DebconfError (thanks, | 09:13 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: Joel Bryan Juliano; LP: #83008). | 09:13 |
| cjwatson | I really, really love ubiquity bug reports from apport. They take about a tenth of the time to wade through, partly because I can assume that they already contain all the necessary information without having to think about it. | 09:27 |
| CIA-4 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r1842 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py): - Display current partition sizes in megabytes (part of LP: #83166). | 09:37 |
| evand | Is that ever going to be automated? I can imagine that creating quite a flood of bug reports. | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | is which ever going to be automated, sorry? | 09:37 |
| evand | apport. Right now, at least when I've used it, you have to create the bug report yourself and attach the apport report. I was curious if the plan was to auto-submit that information to launchpad. | 09:38 |
| evand | err malone | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | try a more recent version of apport :-) | 09:38 |
| evand | hah, I thought I was only a few days out of sync, but I guess that's all it takes | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | as of very recently, pressing the button in apport-gtk submits everything to Launchpad, gets a token back for the submission, and pops up a browser to let you describe the problem; when you submit that it ties it together with the stuff it submitted earlier | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | so not totally automatic but much closer than before | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | that was basically what I was waiting for before switching ubiquity over | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | I don't mind a flood of bug reports as long as they're good, detailed bug reports :-) | 09:40 |
| evand | Nice, but does it mark similar apport reports as duplicates? | 09:40 |
| evand | hah, indeed | 09:40 |
| cjwatson | the problem with the earlier flood was that they tended not to be detailed - it will be much harder for people to screw that up now | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | it tries to use a semi-descriptive title so that Launchpad's attempts to detect duplicates on filing have a better chance of working | 09:41 |
| evand | Yeah, I did see a lot of "the installer crashes, here's the pop-up dialog message" in my inbox. | 09:41 |
| evand | nice | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | it's not perfect - if several different code paths lead to the same exception on the same line of code, it'll false-positive | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | but that's probably fairly rare | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | well, apart from stuff like grub-installer failing | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | but to be honest I have so many reports of that now that I don't mind losing a few ;-) | 09:42 |
| evand | haha | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | I thought the bit in bug 83166 about swap was bogus until I went and read the code - apparently partman *can* choose not to format swap | 09:43 |
| cjwatson | will need to look at that this week | 09:43 |
| evand | ouch | 09:45 |

| kro | I'm having problems preseeding with the fiesty installer. the old preseed I used to use to do automatic partitioning of the hard drive without asking isn't working. tracing through the choices, it seems like the selection is specific to the machine. I need something more generic that I can apply to machines with different hard drives. Did something change? | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | kro: you mean partman-auto/disk and /dev/hda / /dev/sda rather than /dev/discs/disc0/disc? | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | that was a change in edgy | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | kro: in feisty, preseed partman-auto/method to regular and just leave partman-auto/disk unset and it'll automatically use the first disk | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | kro: oh, preseeding partman-auto/method to regular is a new requirement in feisty anyway, so you may just have been being bitten by that. Regardless, leaving partman-auto/disk unpreseeded is probably what you want now if you just have one disk | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | the partman-auto/method stuff is part of a batch of changes that will eventually produce better preseeding of stuff like LVM and RAI | 11:07 |
| cjwatson | D | 11:07 |
| cjwatson | and crypto | 11:07 |
| kro | cjwatson: thanks. I hadn't touched d-i since dapper. | 11:12 |
