| booxter | Hello! I'm a Belarusian Latin translator and I would like to see Ubuntu LiveCD and installer to be Belarusian-Latin supported. What should I do to take the goal? Is there a technical possibility for doing this? | 11:49 |
| mpt | booxter, you want to translate the installer into Belarusian? | 01:05 |
| booxter | mpt, yes | 01:05 |
| mpt | booxter, you can do that on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 01:06 |
| mpt | booxter, for example, https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+lang/be | 01:07 |
| booxter | Launchpad technically doesn't support our be@latin locale... | 01:07 |
| booxter | so we need some kind of "manual" way of translation | 01:08 |
| mpt | Oh, I'm sorry, that's Belarusian Cyrillic, isn't it | 01:08 |
| mpt | You want Belarusian Latin | 01:08 |
| mpt | ok, so you need to get Belarusian Latin registered in Launchpad | 01:08 |
| booxter | yes, we need | 01:09 |
| booxter | but there is a known bug that prevents us from doing so | 01:09 |
| booxter | sr@Latn (Serbian Latin) also has such problem | 01:09 |
| cjwatson | getting the installer to support that is a lot harder | 01:09 |
| cjwatson | you really need to get it done upstream in Debian | 01:09 |
| booxter | our locale technically is a variant of "be" locale | 01:09 |
| cjwatson | simply having the translation there isn't enough - localechooser needs to support it too | 01:10 |
| mpt | oh | 01:10 |
| cjwatson | and it takes an enormous number of uploads of individual components to Ubuntu to add a new language, diverging each of them from Debian individually | 01:10 |
| cjwatson | so I prefer not to do it that way, and to ask people to get the base installer translated in Debian first | 01:10 |
| booxter | So should we at first translate debian installer? | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | right | 01:12 |
| booxter | are there any significant changes between vanilla installer and ubuntu one? | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | yes | 01:12 |
| cjwatson | so just translating the Debian installer won't be enough, but it's the first step | 01:12 |
| booxter | hm, as I know there are several "levels" of Debian translation | 01:13 |
| booxter | what levels are sinificant for Ubuntu, what are less? | 01:13 |
| booxter | And after what level can we incorporate Ubuntu version of installer to make sure we are ready? | 01:13 |
| cjwatson | level 1 is the only one that's a blocker here | 01:14 |
| cjwatson | obviously the rest don't hurt | 01:14 |
| mpt | booxter, I'm discussing it in #launchpad with one of the Launchpad Translations developers | 01:15 |
| booxter | Are other levels not used for Ubuntu version? | 01:15 |
| mpt | Apparently Cyrillic->Latin conversion can be done automatically for Serbian, and maybe for Belarusian too | 01:15 |
| mpt | but there's no schedule for implementing it yet | 01:16 |
| booxter | mpt, we in Belarusian community already begins to use such translation, but not fully automatically (because we use different convensions and so on) | 01:16 |
| cjwatson | booxter: they're used to one extent or another, but some particular packages there are less important than others and in any event it doesn't usually block switching on a language in localechooser | 01:16 |
| cjwatson | there's a point at which packages begin to become subject to language packs, at which point it all gets a lot easier for you | 01:17 |
| cjwatson | but the core installer, mostly the stuff in level 1 plus dpkg, apt, tasksel, probably a couple of others I forget right now, isn't subject to language packs because this is all before language packs get installed | 01:17 |
| booxter | cjwatson, we already reported a bug about Language chooser | 01:17 |
| cjwatson | you did? where? | 01:18 |
| cjwatson | I won't fix it directly in Ubuntu anyway - like I say, this really needs to be done in Debian first otherwise the maintenance burden for us to diverge every installer component from Debian is intolerable | 01:18 |
| cjwatson | but I'm more than happy to support the language once the basic bits are done in Debian and uploaded there | 01:19 |
| booxter | hm, ok, we'll do our best for Debian Installer and after level 1 will come here again:) | 01:22 |
| cjwatson | sounds lovely | 01:25 |

| mebrown | cjwatson, saw your commit for #149159 (console reboot message). is this in todays daily build? | 04:47 |
| cjwatson | it should be$ wget -q -O- http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/gutsy-desktop-i386.manifest | grep ^casper | 04:48 |
| cjwatson | casper 1.109 | 04:48 |
| cjwatson | yes | 04:48 |
| mebrown | thx. | 04:48 |
| mebrown | did you see my email about language packs? | 04:48 |
| mebrown | really need some help with that one, as I am not a debian/dpkg/apt expert | 04:49 |
| cjwatson | language-pack-* shouldn't have external dependencies | 04:49 |
| cjwatson | it's only a problem at all if you need language-support-* too | 04:49 |
| mebrown | I want a complete and good experience for our non-english-speaking customers | 04:50 |
| cjwatson | evand: could you help mebrown out? I have a deadline of today for UDS planning | 04:50 |
| evand | cjwatson: sure | 04:50 |
| cjwatson | germinate may be useful | 04:51 |
| mebrown | ok. I looked at debmirror yesterday and it didnt seem useful (no dependency tracking, afaict) | 04:51 |
| mebrown | I'll take a look at germinate. | 04:51 |
| cjwatson | debmirror does not follow dependencies | 04:52 |
| evand | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement might help with setting up a seed for germinate. | 04:54 |
| mebrown | thanks. reading... | 04:54 |
| mebrown | evand: regarding noninteractive... doesnt work | 05:03 |
| evand | mebrown: where does it fall over? | 05:03 |
| mebrown | No cut-n-paste, but it traces back: | 05:03 |
| mebrown | frontend/noninteractive.py, line 133 in watch_debconf_fd_helper | 05:03 |
| cjwatson | I would avoid trying text installs in gutsy. They aren't well enough tested. | 05:03 |
| mebrown | return callback(souce, dbbconf_condition) | 05:04 |
| cjwatson | at least not using ubiquity | 05:04 |
| mebrown | file ubituqity/filteredcommand.py, line 179 in process_input | 05:04 |
| mebrown | file ubituqity/filteredcommand.py, line 112, process_line | 05:04 |

| mebrown | -> if not self.frontend.installing: | 05:05 |
| mebrown | AttributeError: wizard instance has no attribute 'installing' | 05:05 |
| mebrown | and it starts X before falling over. | 05:05 |
| mebrown | What I am trying to accomplish: | 05:06 |
| mebrown | Need to have a way to install machines that potentially dont have X support in the current gutsy image | 05:06 |
| cjwatson | mebrown: I understand your need, but 7.10 isn't yet ready to fill it with the live CD | 05:06 |
| mebrown | ok. | 05:06 |
| mebrown | we can respin the image, I suppose | 05:06 |
| mebrown | if we get a machine like this. | 05:07 |
| cjwatson | we should be able to fix the specific bug above though | 05:07 |
| mebrown | or, can probably force vesa mode | 05:07 |
| cjwatson | I think that's more likely to work | 05:07 |
| mebrown | just want to make sure I have a fallback | 05:07 |
| cjwatson | oh, forcing vesa should be pretty safe | 05:07 |
| mebrown | because we *always* get machines that come down with no X support (we install addon stuff in post) | 05:07 |
| === evand has added the above bug to his todo list | ||
| mebrown | evand, did you need a lp? | 05:08 |

| mebrown | ok. | 05:08 |
| mebrown | https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/149473 | 05:11 |
| evand | thank you | 05:11 |
| evand | cjwatson: I know you're busy, so feel free to respond to this whenever you have free time. What is the reasoning for marking bugs as invalid in a package and then adding them to a different package, rather than just switching the package? | 05:14 |
| mebrown | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/149477 | 05:15 |
| mebrown | I'm installing a machine now to try out germinate. Will probably have more questions in a couple hours, but it looks like this is probably what I want. | 05:16 |
| evand | great | 05:18 |
| cjwatson | evand: usually an accident | 05:19 |
| cjwatson | evand: note though that you can't just reassign from a package to an upstream project | 05:19 |
| cjwatson | so say if a bug is really a cdimage bug then it has to have a task opened on ubuntu-cdimage and the Ubuntu task rejected | 05:20 |
| evand | ok | 05:21 |

| bdmurray | cjwatson: Did you see my /etc/papersize question? | 07:17 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: no | 07:22 |
| bdmurray | I believe there was a bug in ubiquity where papersize was not being set which is now fixed but what happens to people who installed with ubiquity before it was fixed. | 07:27 |
| bdmurray | It is probably a small number of people and I don't know how many things look at that file either. | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | there was a bug, upgrades aren't handled, it should probably be release-noted | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | a core library looks at that file which I believe a number of desktop applications use | 07:30 |
| bdmurray | Okay, do we have process for release noting things? | 07:33 |
| cjwatson | we need to create some release notes :-) | 07:33 |

| mebrown | is there a bug in today's daily build regarding sudo? | 09:44 |
| mebrown | oem install | 09:44 |
| evand | not that I'm aware of | 09:44 |
| mebrown | when I create a user at firstboot, that user cant sudo | 09:44 |
| evand | hrm | 09:44 |
| mebrown | and I cant login as root | 09:44 |
| mebrown | since I didnt set pw | 09:44 |
| evand | I'm assuming they're not in the admin group? | 09:44 |
| mebrown | I think it has been there for a little bit since I saw that yesterday too | 09:45 |
| mebrown | correct, not in admin group | 09:45 |
| mebrown | groups=1000(dell) | 09:45 |
| mebrown | bug against firstboot? | 09:45 |
| mebrown | shouldnt that user be created as an admin, since there isnt any other way to log in as root, otherwise? | 09:45 |
| mebrown | that is how it used to work. | 09:45 |
| mebrown | at least in feisty | 09:45 |
| cjwatson | I think it's a bug in your image | 09:46 |
| cjwatson | it normally is given admin privileges | 09:46 |
| mebrown | pulled fresh today, saw the same thing yesterday | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | are you creating any other non-system users or groups? | 09:47 |
| mebrown | no. | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | mebrown: ok, is this from the alternate or desktop CD? | 09:47 |
| mebrown | create 'oem' user in preseed | 09:47 |
| mebrown | this is the live cd | 09:47 |
| mebrown | booted with oem-mode and preseed | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | can I have your preseed file? | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | without passwords | 09:47 |
| mebrown | yup. | 09:48 |
