=== cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-installer [06:14] hrmm, uh oh [06:14] I don't know for sure if this is related to any open bugs [06:15] 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] for cases where they're not using UUIDs [06:16] cjwatson: any thoughts on that? I'm not sure how to proceed. It currently would just try to mount /dev/hdaX. [07:33] 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? [07:38] If you want to blacklist the IE favorites, their URLs are listed in [07:40] (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) === Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-installer.log === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@ubuntu/bot/ubuntulog] has joined #ubuntu-installer === Topic for #ubuntu-installer: Development of d-i and ubiquity in Ubuntu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment === Topic (#ubuntu-installer): set by cjwatson at Fri Jan 5 15:12:40 2007 [08:06] mpt: indeed, I think that's probably best. Should I also blacklist the default wallpaper? [08:14] mpt: nevermind, I somehow didn't notice that on the first read [08:14] will do [08:14] evand, are you copying the files or just linking to them? [08:14] copying [08:14] I suggest copying it but not setting it [08:15] because ~95% of people using it will be using it because they don't really care what their wallpaper is [08:15] so they might as well get the Ubuntu default [08:16] 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] mpt: indeed, I agree on that [08:16] and the other ~5% can easily find it because it's in the same directory as their other background pictures [08:17] So should I say that there's wallaper available for import just not set it? [08:17] ah, now I understand your question [08:17] I'm starting to agree with that latter approach [08:18] hmm, if you're already asking explicitly, might as well just do what the user asks [08:19] well all I say is "[ ] Wallpaper" [08:19] So maybe the checkbox should be off by default if the current background is the Windows default, and on by default otherwise [08:19] But I tend to agree with that blog post on Planet Ubuntu [08:19] hrmm [08:20] 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] 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] and see how that flies [08:20] ok [08:20] Are all the checkboxes currently off by default? [08:20] all on by default [08:21] oh [08:21] wait [08:21] sorry, it's 2am [08:21] one second === mpt wonders why Feisty has a "Debian Etch" background picture available [08:23] mpt: unselected by default. Selecting a user automatically selects all the items below it. [08:23] ok. [08:24] it's done this way to give the user the easy opportunity to skip m-a by just hitting next [08:24] as there wont be any users to import that way [09:21] evand: that certainly isn't safe - might still be /dev/hda [09:22] I can't think of a way to avoid being screwed in that situation without booting the OS in question, TBH [09:38] cjwatson: would trying it (s/hda/sda/g) and failing gracefully be appropriate for feisty? [10:16] I don't think so - it could be a totally different disk! [10:20] right, so then just fail in those cases? [10:20] gracefully, of course [10:20] and continue on to the next os [10:22] yeah, I'd say so [10:23] 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 [10:27] indeed [10:27] well, the code is already there for that :). I will however, make sure that it is in fact failing gracefully in such situations. === elianm [n=elianm@customer-side2-telecomalbania.atnet.com.al] has joined #ubuntu-installer [11:35] ubiquity: cjwatson * r1974 ubiquity/ubiquity/components/summary.py: whitespace [11:46] ubiquity: cjwatson * r1975 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/filteredcommand.py): [11:46] ubiquity: * Issue a debugging message any time a process exits, not just when it [11:46] ubiquity: exits non-zero.
