[09:12] <CryptoMole> hi all
[09:12] <CryptoMole> i run feisty fawn currently
[09:13] <CryptoMole> and i was thinking about trying gusty tribes2
[09:13] <CryptoMole> does anyone know what i might run into for problems?
[09:14] <cjwatson> firstly, the current release is Tribe 3, so use that instead (and it's "gutsy" :-))
[09:15] <cjwatson> do you mean problems with the installer?
[09:15] <CryptoMole> yes and also after install
[09:15] <cjwatson> we only deal with the former here
[09:15] <CryptoMole> its on my thinkpad
[09:15] <cjwatson> AFAIK it's currently in pretty good shape
[09:15] <cjwatson> but really, you should upgrade rather than doing a fresh install
[09:15] <CryptoMole> aw
[09:16] <cjwatson> for after install, #ubuntu+1 is a better place
[09:16] <CryptoMole> thanks
[09:16] <CryptoMole> so anything on the installer
[09:17] <CryptoMole> i should know
[09:17] <cjwatson> not really
[09:17] <CryptoMole> ok
[09:17] <cjwatson> (at least not to my knowledge)
[09:18] <CryptoMole> so do upgrade, ill have to find out how to do that cause i have forgotten
[09:19] <superm1> CryptoMole, again, this isn't realy intended discussion for this channel, but this will get you started: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe3
[09:20] <superm1> join into #ubuntu+1 :)
[09:23] <CryptoMole> thanks
[09:30] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: could I test the new debconf on dapper netboot by replacing some files on the fly while it's installing?
[09:52] <cjwatson> tepsipakki: yes, but I figured a modified ISO image would be a better test - why?
[09:53] <cjwatson> tepsipakki: the patch is in the bug - if you apply that after debconf is installed by base-installer but before pkgsel *starts*, then that would be a valid test
[09:53] <cjwatson> you either have to be quick, or edit pkgsel.postinst to put 'sleep 3600 || true' at the start and kill the sleep process when you're ready for it
[09:53] <cjwatson> oh, sorry, you said netboot
[09:54] <cjwatson> yeah, I guess that would be interesting. The problem is that it only shows up some of the time, so you might well have to run several times or on several machines to confirm that the hang had gone away or at least been ameliorated
[09:55] <cjwatson> but if you're prepared to patch on the fly maybe five or ten times over, or else set something up to automate it, sure
[10:22] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: I could reproduce it on some machines every time, so I'd test that first
=== CryptoMole [n=CryptoMo@67-42-176-194.eugn.qwest.net]  has left #ubuntu-installer ["Leaving"] 
[10:22] <tepsipakki> and then the fix
[10:25] <tepsipakki> but I'll try to come up with a way to test it several times
[11:09] <cjwatson> tepsipakki: ok, that would be great then
[11:10] <cjwatson> tepsipakki: the URL on cdimage.ubuntu.com I gave in the bug includes patches adjusted to apply to dapper, edgy, and feisty
[11:10] <cjwatson> you'll want to grab the dapper one as the original patch won't apply directly - a few other things were changed
