jetsaredim?03:14
evandchanges to ubiquity03:14
cjwatsonjetsaredim: sorry, today's really hectic for me03:15
jetsaredimnp03:15
jetsaredimjust wondering if you gave any thought to the possibility of the mythbuntu stuff ever getting back into the main ubiquity tree03:16
jetsaredimafter its fully reviewed and all that03:16
jetsaredimof coarse03:16
cjwatsonif it's specific to mythtv, I think I would prefer that it remained separate until such time as ubiquity is much better prepared for plugins03:17
jetsaredimi was thinking of modeling after m-a03:18
evandI had explained to jetsaredim that you were waiting for the code to be more accepting extensions, but he wanted some clarification if that was on the horizon and what that entailed, as he brought up the idea of adding a --no-mythtv option03:18
evandto extensions*03:18
jetsaredimactually I was thinking more along the lines of an option to _enable_ myth03:18
jetsaredimand by default it would be off03:19
evandah, my mistake03:19
jetsaredimwe only talked about it for like 2 seconds03:19
evandindeed03:19
jetsaredimi suppose it doesn't make a difference either way - as long as its turn-off-able03:20
cjwatsonjetsaredim: I think the UI changes are too difficult for us to maintain in the three at this point03:20
jetsaredim;)03:20
cjwatsonin the tree, I mean03:20
cjwatsonm-a was acceptable because it was going to be on by default and thus tested03:20
jetsaredimah03:20
jetsaredimgood point03:21
jetsaredimso there's no point in bothering to put in the option03:22
cjwatsonhonestly, I think at the moment it will actually be easier for you guys to maintain it out of tree, as you'll be able to commit directly without fear of breaking the core03:25
cjwatsonsince right now the changes required to add extra pages are pretty intrusive03:26
CIA-19ubiquity: cjwatson * r2083 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity debian/changelog):03:27
CIA-19ubiquity: * Work around hang on PS3 by stopping various non-essential processes03:27
CIA-19ubiquity:  first (LP: #106683).03:27
cjwatson^-- horrible03:27
cjwatsonevand: re pdb, thanks for the idea :)03:27
evandcjwatson: re commit, thanks for making life easier on me :)03:27
jetsaredimcjwatson: we noticed03:35
jetsaredimits already pretty much working03:35
jetsaredimits mostly in the glade file since we added like 6 pages03:36
jetsaredimand there's a bunch of logic in gtkui03:36
jetsaredimbut other than that its mostly a d-i script03:36
CIA-19ubiquity: cjwatson * r2084 ubiquity/bin/ubiquity: update bug number in comment03:49
=== mpt [n=mpt@121-72-131-30.dsl.telstraclear.net] has joined #ubuntu-installer
jetsaredimany idea when ubiquity will be at a point where this integration would be possible03:56
jetsaredimi'm just dreading having to do merges on every ubiquity change03:56

cr3the installation-guide-i386 package in gutsy still refers to feisty. I tried to report a bug for the installation-guide project in launchpad but it says that bugs are being tracked upstream. is that right or should I be reporting a bug against another project?08:23
cjwatsondon't worry, it's due for an update09:59
cjwatsonit hasn't been merged yet09:59
cjwatsonin any case, you don't report bugs about packages in Ubuntu against projects, you report them against source packages in Ubuntu ...09:59
cjwatsonevand: any luck with bug 118967?11:17
cjwatsonevand: it's worth noting that syslog messages vs. sys.stderr writes of the tracebacks might be out of order, so be careful about drawing inferences from that11:18
evandno luck yet, but I will keep that in mind11:19
evandI'll keep you posted on my progress11:19
cjwatsoncool11:19
cjwatsoncould easily be just due to the excision of the old partitioner11:20
cjwatsonand the complicated merge of partman_auto into partman11:20
evandhrm11:21
cjwatson(i.e. my foul-up)11:24
evandwell, way to go cjwatson :)11:25
cjwatsonhmm, it's also possible it's a change in qt11:26
cjwatsonI note that the KDE frontend does .setModel() before populating the model11:27
cjwatsonwonder if moving the .setModel() down to the end after population would fix it11:27
cjwatsonI don't know what's calling PartitionTreeModel.index, but from the lack of traceback beyond that it must be something inside qt11:28
cjwatsonI've resorted to reading Qt source in the past11:32
evandby the way, I agree with you on the odd nature of the pyqt bindings.11:33
cjwatsonif you can reproduce it, it might be worth moving the traceback dumps to syslog temporarily to get better ordering11:33
cjwatsonit's the seemingly random argument order that upsets me most, I think :)11:34
evandcurious...now I can't reproduce the bug11:35
=== evand investigates
cjwatsonbut you could earlier?11:36
cjwatsoncould be racy ...11:36
evandoh, I'm working on a different VM11:36
evandas the other one was tied up in ubiquity-automation poking11:36
evandthe only difference would be the partition table, afaik11:37
evandbut I suppose that's enough :)11:37
cjwatsonmy first thought was that it might happen with blank partition tables, but that doesn't seem to be the case here11:37
evandit did for me11:37
evandwhen I tried a blank table11:37
evandlets see11:37
evandhrmm, nope, now it doesn't (still a different vm though)11:39
cjwatsonit would be nice to know what the index being passed in is11:39
cjwatsonwhether it's zero or small-int or random-junk11:39
evandoh, I stand corrected.  It may be triggering it after all11:41
evandheh, sorry about that11:42
