[12:14] <evand> index to what?
[12:16] <cjwatson> one of the functions in the traceback is index()
[12:16] <cjwatson> PartitionModel.index that is
[12:16] <cjwatson> it's an index into the model that backends onto the treeview

[06:11] <jetsaredim> can someone tell me what environment the reconfigure function gets called in?
[11:41] <xivulon> Hi evand have you started working on the installer for windows?
[12:03] <xyzz> hi
[12:04] <xyzz> can i somwhow manage to skip root partition format checking?
[12:04] <xyzz> i already tryed to comment out that parts of code in ubiquity, but id doesn't seem to do any difference
[12:04] <cjwatson> xyzz: what release of Ubuntu?
[12:04] <xyzz> 7.04
[12:05] <cjwatson> xyzz: ok, what exactly is going wrong?
[12:06] <xyzz> ok, i have already partioned system, and the partition i want to use as '/' already contains some data, but instaler wont continue, util i mark that as "format"
[12:06] <cjwatson> that's correct, and it really means it
[12:06] <cjwatson> that check is there because I got hundreds of bugs about various exciting kinds of breakage that happen when the check is bypassed
[12:07] <xyzz> i know :]  but that is not something i want
[12:07] <cjwatson> xyzz: you can remove /lib/partman/check.d/12system_partitions_formatted; just don't even think about filing a bug if it goes wrong :)
[12:07] <xyzz> when i changed validation.py, while running from instalation media, it just doesnt made any diffenrence
[12:08] <cjwatson> validation.py is only used for the old advanced partitioner, which is mostly dead
[12:08] <xyzz> ah, so thats why ... :] 
[12:09] <xyzz> thanx, i will try it
[12:09] <cjwatson> please back up that data first if it's at all important
[12:11] <xyzz> i just dont have any place to backup
[12:11] <xyzz> directory is set to 000 and also may not conflict with any other
[12:12] <xyzz> and this way of upgrading i am using since 5.04
[12:12] <cjwatson> well, 5.04 didn't contain ubiquity, so you can't have been using ubiquity to do it back then
[12:13] <cjwatson> I simply cannot offer any guarantee and cannot be held responsible if it goes wrong, that's all
[12:13] <cjwatson> we recommend using the upgrade tool instead
[12:16] <xyzz> yes, i know
[12:17] <xyzz> but i dont think, that thare is anything, that can go wrong, just because of that :] 
[12:19] <cjwatson> well, don't say I didn't try to warn you
[12:29] <xivulon> cjwatson, how is the development of the windows installer organized? what branches are used (other than ubiquity I assume)? I have almost finished with wubi and can now dedicate more time to the project
[12:29] <cjwatson> xivulon: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment may help as far as the code into which lupin will need to be merged is concerned
[12:30] <cjwatson> ubiquity's a much later step
[12:30] <cjwatson> (well, aside from developing ubiquity-automation, which needs to happen in parallel)
[12:31] <xivulon> In the blueprint I have split down the work to do, and probably there port is not going to be that heavy
[12:36] <xivulon> cjwatson, any plan for the windows frontend? Do we keep current wubi rebranding and ripping off the username/password which is asked by ubiquity?
[12:37] <cjwatson> I haven't had time to think about it yet
[12:37] <cjwatson> I am still neck-deep in doing performance reviews and other wok
[12:37] <cjwatson> work
[12:37] <xivulon> I was thinking of reusing the oem mode
[12:37] <cjwatson> !
[12:37] <cjwatson> I *suppose*, but I'm not sure that's really the place to start
[12:38] <cjwatson> oem mode is really pretty different and it needs a lot of work anyway
[12:39] <xivulon> what I meant is an interface like oem-config-gtk for username/password and possibly other items
[12:39] <cjwatson> that interface is ubiquity, probably skipping some pages
[12:40] <cjwatson> unless you mean an interface in Windows
[12:40] <xivulon> I guessed so
[12:40] <cjwatson> that comes back to the issue of duplicating validation checks
[12:41] <xivulon> what are you referring to exactly?
[12:41] <cjwatson> can we talk about this next week?
[12:42] <cjwatson> I cannot do this today
[12:42] <xivulon> absolutely
[12:42] <cjwatson> I got about five hours sleep and have about twelve hours' worth of work to do today
[12:42] <xivulon> that sounds familiar
[12:43] <xivulon> talk to you next week then
[01:43] <xyzz> cjwatson thanks, everything went just fine
[03:10] <evand> arr, I missed him
[04:05] <evand> you have a sharp eye, cjwatson.  It was setting the model before populating it, thus causing the crash.  Patch to arrive shortly.
[04:12] <cjwatson> what a fluke :-)
[04:12] <cjwatson> great, thanks
[04:12] <cjwatson> I think that stands a chance of being a Qt bug as well, you know ..

[06:17] <evand> cjwatson: I know today is insanely busy for you, but whenever you have a free moment next, is there any reason why dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive wouldn't work in an _apply script? Asking on behalf of the mythbuntu developers.
[06:18] <jetsaredim> doh
[06:19] <jetsaredim> belay that question :)
[10:36] <ka1>  hello, someone know how can I use grub-installer before base-installer-udeb in d-i  ?
[10:43] <btm_> ka1: grub-installer probably needs kernel installer complete to create your configuration file, so that sounds like a dependency issue.
[10:51] <ka1> ok I will take a look but I already have kernel, I think it's about /dev because grub-install don't find bios drives for hd0 because /dev/hda1 is something like /dev/disc0bus0part1
[10:58] <evand> ...d-i hasn't used devfs for a while now, afaik
[11:01] <cjwatson> not since edgy
[11:01] <cjwatson> you cannot run grub-installer before base-installer
[11:01] <cjwatson> if you're trying to reinstall grub, use expert mode
[11:01] <cjwatson> er, sorry
[11:01] <cjwatson> use rescue mode, I mean
[11:59] <btm_> netcfg really should bring the interfaces up earlier, there isn't enough time before ethtool runs.
[12:01] <cjwatson> uh? ethtool is used to decide which interfaces to bring up
[12:01] <cjwatson> well, which ones to keep up
[12:02] <cjwatson> it runs strictly after interfaces are brought up, synchronously, so I don't get what you mean about not enough time
