| saispo | cjwatson: ping ? | 03:47 |
|---|---|---|
| saispo | cjwatson: i think the debootstrap on gutsy have a missing dependancies | 03:48 |
| saispo | Missing debootstrap-required dmsetup | 03:48 |
| saispo | CD1 missing some packages needed by debootstrap | 03:48 |
| cjwatson | you've misunderstood that error message | 03:49 |
| cjwatson | I'll lower the priority of dmsetup to option per http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/jessica.txt, which will fix that | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | done | 03:50 |
| cjwatson | (wait 40 minutes for the publisher to run) | 03:51 |
| saispo | ok | 03:51 |
| saispo | thanks | 03:51 |

| xivulon | evand I have m-a kind of working in wubi | 05:12 |
| xivulon | evand, is there any deep reason for you to insist in mounting the device containing the files to be imported? I had a quick hack to skip that if the device is in mtab and it seems ok. | 05:13 |
| evand | xivulon: I don't follow. You need to mount the device you're importing from, otherwise how would you get the files? Or are you saying unmount and remounting it? | 05:15 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, I have a problem making suspend/hybernation work with wubi. I played with acpi-settings but did not get too far. Anyone in the know that might be able to help? | 05:15 |
| evand | ah, I should've read that full thing :) | 05:15 |
| xivulon | acpi-support | 05:16 |
| evand | xivulon: ma-ask and ma-apply would have to be modified to take into account that the mount location isn't /mnt/migrationassistant | 05:16 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: mjg59, as a general rule ;-) | 05:16 |
| xivulon | evand, olso in S20microsoft test, you check the fstype | 05:16 |
| cjwatson | #ubuntu-kernel, more generally | 05:17 |
| xivulon | cjwatson thx | 05:17 |
| evand | xivulon: well, os-prober does, but yes | 05:17 |
| evand | oh | 05:17 |
| xivulon | evand in the fstest os-prober skips if it's not fat/ntfs | 05:17 |
| xivulon | I need to have fuse* in there too | 05:17 |
| cjwatson | err, it needs to be a bit more specific than that | 05:18 |
| cjwatson | fuse could be anything, it needs to check if it's ntfs-3g | 05:18 |
| cjwatson | anyway, this is all part of the lupin merge | 05:19 |
| xivulon | I think the check is only to avoid wasting time | 05:19 |
| xivulon | Does not look that there is any harm in running a test on a non windows partition | 05:19 |
| cjwatson | partly to try to reduce false positives too | 05:19 |
| cjwatson | no direct harm, but you might misdetect | 05:20 |
| cjwatson | people put all kinds of weird crap on filesystems :) | 05:20 |
| xivulon | I'll submitt a proper patch in the coming days | 05:20 |
| === evand is a big fan of multiple Windows installations on the same partition. | ||
| cjwatson | sure, it can go upstream easily | 05:20 |
| xivulon | By the way you have any preference for the patches? Is bzr diff ok? | 05:21 |
| evand | public branches are nice, but a readable diff works for me. | 05:22 |
| cjwatson | agreed | 05:23 |
| xivulon | I prefer branches too | 05:23 |
| cjwatson | bzr diff --diff-options=-p is preferable to bzr diff for C code | 05:23 |
| xivulon | cjwatson that is bash | 05:24 |
| cjwatson | huh? | 05:24 |
| xivulon | ma-apply | 05:24 |
| xivulon | and os-prober util | 05:24 |
| cjwatson | I didn't say it wasn't; I said that *for C code* -p is preferable | 05:24 |
| cjwatson | it was an informational comment | 05:25 |
| xivulon | ok thx, any advantage in having -p in bash? | 05:25 |
| evand | bzr help diff :) | 05:26 |
| evand | err actually | 05:26 |
| evand | that doesn't tell you much | 05:26 |
| evand | nevermind then | 05:26 |
| cjwatson | -p --show-c-function | 05:26 |
| cjwatson | Show which C function each change is in. | 05:26 |
| xivulon | guess man diff will do | 05:26 |
| cjwatson | so not particularly, no. It might manage to guess shell functions by sheer luck | 05:26 |
| xivulon | I am not on linux machine right now though | 05:27 |
| cjwatson | by the way, neither ma-apply nor os-prober is bash; they're sh. The distinction is important | 05:27 |
| xivulon | absolutely | 05:27 |
| cjwatson | bash is a particular implementation of sh with a lot of extensions which you cannot use in the installer | 05:27 |
| xivulon | ps evand in my test I have tried to import firefox and ie settings, but only ie settings got actually imported | 05:40 |
| evand | curious | 05:41 |
| evand | a bookmarks.html file and /var/log/syslog from the install would be helpful there. | 05:41 |
| xivulon | I'll have a look tonight | 05:50 |
| evand | thanks | 05:53 |

| joshk_ | kickstart/preseed support is only available on desktop CDs, right? | 07:45 |
| evand | joshk_: It's only on the alternate CD. Proper preseeding support for the desktop CD is being worked on in this release cycle. | 07:50 |
| evand | err to clarify, s/desktop/live/ | 07:51 |
| joshk_ | ok, cool | 08:05 |
| joshk_ | just checking to make sure i wasn't missing something, because the wiki page doesn't clearly say | 08:05 |
| joshk_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility i mean | 08:05 |
| cjwatson | not sure kickstart will make it onto the desktop CD though | 08:30 |
| cjwatson | would take a lot more work for the desktop CD to be able to support it | 08:30 |
| joshk_ | hm, that's cool | 08:37 |
| joshk_ | i just had some kickstart-generating code already | 08:37 |
| cjwatson | joshk_: I imported kickseed into Debian yesterday ... | 09:34 |
| === xivulon [n=arusso@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| xivulon | evand there are no logs relating to ff import, but I guess that is due to my convoluted set-up | 09:40 |
| evand | xivulon: hrmm, it could be my fault. It's possible that I removed the relevent logging information to not flood syslog. | 09:41 |
| evand | The bookmarks.html file should be enough. Just take out anything sensitive. | 09:41 |
| xivulon | you mean the windows one? | 09:51 |
| xivulon | it's quite large... | 09:51 |
| xivulon | I think the issue is that my profile sits on a different drive | 09:52 |
| evand | oh | 09:52 |
| xivulon | I would not be too concerned about | 09:52 |
| evand | that would definitely do it | 09:53 |
| evand | it follows non-standard profile paths, just not when they're on something other than C: | 09:53 |
| xivulon | of course | 09:53 |
| evand | indeed | 09:53 |
| xivulon | it's just that I have not used windows for so long that I forgot about it | 09:53 |
| evand | heh | 09:54 |
| joshk_ | is it possible to use a desktop CD as an installation source for netboot? yes, right? | 10:23 |
| joshk_ | like, if i remaster the mini.iso with a ubuntu desktop iso in its filesystem | 10:24 |
| joshk_ | don't ask why | 10:24 |
| evand | joshk_: No, the desktop CD does not contain packages. It installs by copying the RO filesystem to the target filesystem | 10:27 |
| joshk_ | aw, crap. | 10:27 |
| === superm1 [i=malimonc@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| superm1 | evand, I was going through and cleaning up the templates in the patch that i'm using for the mythbuntu frontend, but encountered ubiquity/install/summary which we have changed to include more of our specific information. What is the cleanest way to ship ours in the package ubiquity-frontend-mythbuntu and override the one in the package ubiquity? | 10:35 |
| superm1 | I was thinking maybe divert the whole ubiquity.templates in /var/lib/dpkg/info, but then thats a lot of code duplication for all of those templates, especially if you change one | 10:36 |
| evand | hrm, that's not a static template either | 10:37 |
| superm1 | right | 10:37 |
| superm1 | i've got an extra script mythbuntu_summary in the scripts/ directory that is called instead to generate it with our information (using the same format that you've already started there) | 10:38 |
| superm1 | there are a number of other areas with similar issues of code duplication (because I couldn't call the parent class), but those could be worked out later. | 10:38 |
| === blackskad [n=blackska@d54C1A48C.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| evand | superm1: I'm really not sure the best way to approach that. I would think a diversion is your only option, but I could definitely be wrong. You might want to ask cjwatson or someone who knows more debconf tricks than I do. | 10:42 |
| superm1 | well i thought of another dirty trick a few minutes ago.. | 10:42 |
| superm1 | in one of those substitutions | 10:42 |
| superm1 | like ${LANGUAGE} | 10:42 |
| superm1 | I can substitute in *all* of our stuff | 10:42 |
| evand | heh | 10:43 |
| superm1 | with a bunch of \n's | 10:43 |
| superm1 | not too sure how nice that would turn out, so I was hoping there was some debconf magic to learn about | 10:43 |
| evand | there may very well be, I'm just not aware of it either | 10:43 |
| superm1 | okay i'll keep poking around then. thanks :) | 10:44 |
| evand | sorry I couldn't have been of more help. Good luck | 10:45 |
