| evand | hrmm, uh oh | 06:14 |
|---|---|---|
| evand | I don't know for sure if this is related to any open bugs | 06:14 |
| evand | but if a device is /dev/hdaX in fstab on an operating system we're importing from, is it really safe to do a 's/hda/sda/g'? | 06:15 |
| evand | for cases where they're not using UUIDs | 06:15 |
| evand | cjwatson: any thoughts on that? I'm not sure how to proceed. It currently would just try to mount /dev/hdaX. | 06:16 |
| mpt | evand, have you considered special-casing the default IE bookmarks (e.g. "Free Hotmail") and the default Windows wallpaper (the rolling hills) to not import them? | 07:33 |
| mpt | If you want to blacklist the IE favorites, their URLs are listed in <http://www.mylinkvault.com/popular/popular.rss> | 07:38 |
| mpt | (probably blacklisting the http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll* pattern would be enough, because it's a redirection service, so people won't manually bookmark anything with an URL matching that pattern) | 07:40 |

| evand | mpt: indeed, I think that's probably best. Should I also blacklist the default wallpaper? | 08:06 |
| evand | mpt: nevermind, I somehow didn't notice that on the first read | 08:14 |
| evand | will do | 08:14 |
| mpt | evand, are you copying the files or just linking to them? | 08:14 |
| evand | copying | 08:14 |
| mpt | I suggest copying it but not setting it | 08:14 |
| mpt | because ~95% of people using it will be using it because they don't really care what their wallpaper is | 08:15 |
| mpt | so they might as well get the Ubuntu default | 08:15 |
| evand | that might prove confusing. Lets say the rolling hills is the wallpaper for a user. So because we're blacklisting it I say that there is no wallpaper available to import, but then I copy it over anyway. | 08:16 |
| evand | mpt: indeed, I agree on that | 08:16 |
| mpt | and the other ~5% can easily find it because it's in the same directory as their other background pictures | 08:16 |
| evand | So should I say that there's wallaper available for import just not set it? | 08:17 |
| mpt | ah, now I understand your question | 08:17 |
| evand | I'm starting to agree with that latter approach | 08:17 |
| mpt | hmm, if you're already asking explicitly, might as well just do what the user asks | 08:18 |
| evand | well all I say is "[ ] Wallpaper" | 08:19 |
| mpt | So maybe the checkbox should be off by default if the current background is the Windows default, and on by default otherwise | 08:19 |
| evand | But I tend to agree with that blog post on Planet Ubuntu | 08:19 |
| evand | hrmm | 08:19 |
| evand | But that's also probably confusing because the expanders on the usernames are collapsed by default so you can see all the usernames without having to scroll | 08:20 |
| evand | I think I'll just go with the latter approach for now, that is to import it but not set it if it's the windows default (in the case of wallpapers) | 08:20 |
| evand | and see how that flies | 08:20 |
| mpt | ok | 08:20 |
| mpt | Are all the checkboxes currently off by default? | 08:20 |
| evand | all on by default | 08:20 |
| evand | oh | 08:21 |
| evand | wait | 08:21 |
| evand | sorry, it's 2am | 08:21 |
| evand | one second | 08:21 |
| === mpt wonders why Feisty has a "Debian Etch" background picture available | ||
| evand | mpt: unselected by default. Selecting a user automatically selects all the items below it. | 08:23 |
| mpt | ok. | 08:23 |
| evand | it's done this way to give the user the easy opportunity to skip m-a by just hitting next | 08:24 |
| evand | as there wont be any users to import that way | 08:24 |
| cjwatson | evand: that certainly isn't safe - might still be /dev/hda | 09:21 |
| cjwatson | I can't think of a way to avoid being screwed in that situation without booting the OS in question, TBH | 09:22 |
| evand | cjwatson: would trying it (s/hda/sda/g) and failing gracefully be appropriate for feisty? | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | I don't think so - it could be a totally different disk! | 10:16 |
| evand | right, so then just fail in those cases? | 10:20 |
| evand | gracefully, of course | 10:20 |
| evand | and continue on to the next os | 10:20 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I'd say so | 10:22 |
| cjwatson | this is really a "you're screwed, sorry" scenario. Fortunately I should think it'll only come up in migrations from fairly complex (not just a single big filesystem) Linux installations | 10:23 |
| evand | indeed | 10:27 |
| evand | well, the code is already there for that :). I will however, make sure that it is in fact failing gracefully in such situations. | 10:27 |
