[02:09] <xivulon> quick question: is ntfs-3g 1.913 going to make it into Gutsy by any chance?
[02:12] <cjwatson> guess what I'm looking at at the moment
[02:38] <xivulon> most relevant change for me is that 1.913 allows remounting
[02:40] <xivulon> on a side note, unless I missed anything /var/run/sendsigs.omit is not actually used, shall I write an rcS/rc2 script that adds all mount.ntfs pids?
[02:41] <xivulon> that's for my own override of course
[02:41] <cjwatson> you missed something. see /etc/init.d/sendsigs
[02:42] <xivulon> cjwatson, I noticed that sendigs skips pids in /var/run/sendsigs.omit. What I mean is that no process seems to write those pids.
[02:44] <xivulon> that said I glanced over it yesterda very, very late (since I had shutdown problems in my test image)
[02:45] <cjwatson> partman-auto-loop writes it, as does the initramfs
[02:45] <cjwatson> ./autopartition-loop:204:       pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
[02:46] <xivulon> hmm I am quite sure that there was no file /var/run/sendsigs.omit in my installed system
[02:46] <cjwatson> ./debian/ntfs-3g.initramfs-bottom:10:   pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs >> /dev/.initramfs/varrun/sendsigs.omit
[02:46] <cjwatson> ./debian/ntfs-3g.initramfs-bottom:13:   pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g >> /dev/.initramfs/varrun/sendsigs.omit
[02:47] <xivulon> thx, I'll have a better look tonight
[02:49] <cjwatson> debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh:40:        for file in /dev/.initramfs/varrun/*; do
[02:49] <cjwatson> debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh:42:                cp -a "$file" "/var/run/${x#/dev/.initramfs/varrun/}"
[02:49] <cjwatson> afaik all the bits are in place, I think it would be much more useful for you to figure out why they aren't working than to hack around it
[02:50] <xivulon> of course, I thought the above code was not in place, as mentioned I only noticed yesterday at about 3 a.m. and did not have much energy to digg
[02:52] <xivulon> By the way, my current set of quick and dirty hacks is in: http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/gutsy/files/ago%40nb-ago-20071008011810-svsbdb6z1udfso1z?file_id=override_files-20071008002841-x6i7u2jcizw74pyu-1
[02:53] <xivulon> The only thing missing is menu.lst patches to correct kopt (root=/loop=) and fixing the above issue with shutdowns.
[03:15] <xivulon> What package generates the kopt line in menu.lst? It doesn't seem to be grub-installer
[03:17] <cjwatson> grub/debian/update-grub
[03:18] <xivulon> thanks
[03:33] <xivulon> cjwatson, will have to check the logs, but I strongly suspect that I ended up with hda1 because find_root_device() failed to understand my fstab
[03:34] <xivulon> on top of it there is no code for loop= in the kopt generation
[03:34] <xivulon> hda1 is the default when find_root_device() fails
[03:43] <xivulon> The aboe means that the issue is lupin-only (as you might have expected all along)
[05:31] <cjwatson> xivulon: glad to hear it ;-)
[05:32] <cjwatson> xivulon: ntfs-3g 1.913 is heading into gutsy soon, FYI
[05:49] <xivulon> cjwatson, great thanks
[05:50] <xivulon> that might require a small change to initramfs by the way, so that the loopdevice is created separately (rw), and host device is mounted ro
[05:51] <xivulon> I'll add the above to the overrides. Alltogether the patches requires by wubi should be about 20 lines...
[05:53] <xivulon> The fix for grub (to be added to success_command.sh) should be http://paste.ubuntu.com/701/
[05:54] <xivulon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/702/
[05:57] <cjwatson> we won't change the initramfs
[05:57] <cjwatson> not for gutsy anyway
[05:57] <xivulon> I was expecting that... np
[05:58] <xivulon> we might do a package after gutsy containing the updated code to be shipped with override_files
[08:10] <superm1> evand, ick.  i'm not sure why these locale errors are suddenly cropping up.  i thought that cjwatson had gotten this fixed upstream in bug 139603.  guess that hasn't trickled down to Ubuntu yet then.
[08:12] <evand> hrmm, not sure.  I only did a cursory glance at the bugs I assigned to you, so if you think it's in error feel free to put them back to nobody
[08:14] <superm1> well no it's definitely a bug.  let me check with Riddell though about upstream kde-guidance
[08:14] <superm1> see if there is a chance in pulling the fix down
[08:14] <superm1> if they don't fix it, i'll get a workaround in
[08:19] <CIA-18> migration-assistant: evand * r64 migration-assistant/ (debian/changelog import.c):
[08:19] <CIA-18> migration-assistant: * Move initialize_registry_paths call later to avoid situations where
[08:19] <CIA-18> migration-assistant:  other needed variables may not be set yet, causing m-a to fail.
[10:24] <xivulo1> cjwatson, I can confirm that there is no signo of sendsigs.omit on the installed system (and in syslog), in the live cd, sendisgs.omit is there but is empty. Will run some more tests later on.
