[08:06] <pradalover> hello
[09:02] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1838 ubiquity/debian/changelog: reorganise changelog
[09:03] <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).
[09:07] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1840 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py): - Fix crash when backing up to automatic partitioning page (LP: #83230).
[09:13] <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).
[09:27] <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.
[09:37] <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?
[09:38] <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 :-)
[09:39] <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
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <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
[09:43] <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
[09:45] <evand> ouch
[10:51] <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?
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <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
[11:07] <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
[11:12] <kro> cjwatson: thanks. I hadn't touched d-i since dapper.
