xivulonevand, this morning I fixed a couple of bugs in my code, you may want to pull again, it should mount an ISO on disk and copy the preseed file (did not check fix_preseed yet)04:38
xivulonas a side plus, the livecd initrd, works nicely as hd-media, which makes the testing process quicker04:41
xivulonevand, I was reading your email, partman ignoring partitions that are already mounted will be an issue for the stand-alone installer, since that will have to mount the partition which hosts the ISO file04:55
xivulonwhich will usually be the same partition where to create the image files04:55
cjwatson_special-casing that (if it's necessary at all) should be a simple matter of programming, I wouldn't get hung up on it04:59
evandhrm04:59
cjwatsonI don't think partman has such code anyway05:00
cjwatsonubiquity installs a partman hook to unmount anything that's mounted and needs to be reformatted05:00
cjwatsonyou may be thinking of the old os-prober bug that ignored mounted partitions, but that's fixed now05:00
evandprobably05:00
xivuloncjwatson, when we create a loop image there is no need to format the hosting partition, only to make sure that is r/w05:03
xivulondid not check the code, but it would help if that was not unmounted or skept if already mounted05:04
cjwatsonI don't think we attempt to format it at the moment05:11
cjwatsonit may still try to mount it05:11
cjwatsonon phone05:11
xivulonwhat I mean, is if it is a problem when the hosting partition is already mounted05:12
xivulonby the way as mentioned earlier, I fixed some of my code, so you may want to pull it.05:13
saispocjwatson: i fixed my build error but now when the .raw is created when i try to boot on it isolinux start and i have boot:, i lost my splash in isolinux and my menu entry05:25
saispoanyidea ?05:25
xivuloncjwatson, I misread your comments above, if partitions are unmounted only when they need to be formatted, then it's fine!05:30
xivuloncjwatson, by the way did you start working on the sysctl init.d script, if not I'll try to have a look tonight?05:31

cjwatsonblackskad: any progress on bug 38442? You said you were going to look at it08:14
blackskadcjwatson: I'm working on it08:15
blackskadI'm still looking for a way to adapt the size to the screen resolution08:15
cjwatsonis there anything I can do to help (that doesn't involve putting in equivalent time to fix it myself :-))?08:17
blackskadwell, I'm having an exam tomorrow, but will have plenty of time afterwards08:18
blackskadso I'll take a look at what still needs to be done tomorrow08:18
cjwatsonok, thanks08:20
blackskadwould it be possible to get it in gutsy if I'm a little fast?08:22
blackskadI know ufv is in place08:22
blackskadbut it's a bug, isn't it :)08:23
cjwatsonshould be08:57
