[06:16] <evand> cjwatson: Is it too late to add a string to the migration-assistant page that explains what the user has to do a little better than it currently does?
[06:17] <evand> I believe it is as we're past string freeze, but I wanted to run it by you before I put it on the Feisty+1 agenda.
[10:51] <saispo> hi
[10:51] <saispo> cjwatson: have you an example of a preseed file with lvm automatic partitioning and expert_recipe ?
[11:22] <cjwatson> evand: go ahead and put it in now
[11:22] <cjwatson> saispo: sorry, don't have time at the moment
[11:22] <saispo> ok
[11:22] <saispo> no problem
[11:22] <saispo> thanks for your answer
[11:24] <evand> cjwatson: will do
[11:24] <cjwatson> evand: feisty translations aren't quite really up and running yet anyway
[11:24] <evand> great! (for me, anyway)
[11:44] <CIA-4> migration-assistant: evand * r41 migration-assistant/ (7 files in 2 dirs): Prompt the user to umount partitions that are in use. Mount /home when necessary.
[11:45] <CIA-4> ubiquity: evand * r1486 ma/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/migrationassistant.py): Dont crash Ubiquity when m-a is disabled.
[11:50] <CIA-4> ubiquity: evand * r1487 ma/ (85 files in 6 dirs): Merged with trunk.
[12:19] <evand> cjwatson: is translating strings that aren't Gtk widgets something that's going to be dealt with in Feisty+1?
[12:19] <evand> I investigated doing it for the "there are no OSes to import" message and noticed that the Install button does not get translated.  Or at least it appears that way in gtkui.py
[12:20] <cjwatson> there are random TODO comments littered around for the ones that aren't translated
[12:21] <evand> indeed
[12:34] <evand> Can I get a second set of eyes on this?  Does this look ok? http://evalicious.com/ma.png
[12:47] <CIA-4> migration-assistant: evand * r42 migration-assistant/debian/changelog: Releasing migration-assistant 0.4.2
[12:57] <cjwatson> evand: avoid "into Ubuntu"
[12:57] <cjwatson> we have derivatives both inside and outside the archive, and modifying translated strings for that is hassle
[12:58] <evand> cjwatson: ah, point taken.  I'll change that now.
[12:58] <cjwatson> evand: instead of "press next", use something like "go to the next page" - note how the button is actually "Forward", and you don't want to have to stay in sync
[12:58] <cjwatson> evand: otherwise looks fine
[12:58] <evand> cjwatson: great, thanks for the tips.  I'm just making sure everything still works, I'll add those changes now and then let you know when it's ready to merge.
[12:59] <cjwatson> righto

[01:53] <cjwatson> great, thanks, will do shortly
[01:54] <evand> cjwatson: thank you
[02:02] <cjwatson> evand: m-a uploaded; wanna close the bugs?
[02:07] <cjwatson> I've got another major item to do before upload
[02:07] <cjwatson> (of ubiquity)
[02:09] <CIA-4> ubiquity: cjwatson * r1943 ubiquity/ (4 files in 4 dirs): merge from Evan
[03:46] <saispo> juste a little question, when preseeding partition, it's possible to set flags ? for example quota and acl on ext3 ?
[08:21] <cr3> is there a way to have the alternate install drop to busybox at some point during the installation?
[11:55] <cjwatson> cr3: alt-f2 to get a shell
[11:55] <cjwatson> cr3: or do you mean in an automated way?
[12:00] <cr3> cjwatson: in an automated way. I tried specifying break=premount in the kernel parameters but that didn't seem to work over a netinstall
[12:01] <cjwatson> no, that's an initramfs-tools instruction and not applicable
[12:01] <cr3> cjwatson: aha! thanks for the explanation, makes sense now
[12:02] <cjwatson> BOOT_DEBUG=3 will give you shells at various points in the boot process
[12:02] <cjwatson> can be useful in figuring out why the installer doesn't boot on a given machine
[12:02] <cjwatson> that's the nearest equivalent to break=premount
[12:03] <cr3> cjwatson: the problem I'm actually trying to solve is that I'd like to netboot, mostly using files from the alternate cd, and perform the following actions once booted into a minimal system: wget latest.iso; mount latest.iso /mnt; cp -a /mnt /root; reboot from /root
[12:03] <cr3> some of those commands are pseudo shell, just to give an idea of the actions I'd like to perform
[12:04] <cjwatson> isn't that more or less what ubiquity does?
[12:04] <cjwatson> sounds like you want a noninteractive ubiquity frontend :)
