| seb128 | hi | 05:28 |
| seb128 | is ubiquity supposed to have a "resize automatically and install" option? | 05:29 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, I did a bit of research, and do not think that creating large contiguous image files fast is an easy task in Linux | 05:32 |
| xivulon | the truth to be told that operation is easier in windows, is creating images within autoapartition-loop a strong preference? | 05:34 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: usually but it's not guaranteed - depends on your partition layout | 05:34 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: talk to me after gutsy or at UDS | 05:35 |
| cjwatson_ | I don't have brain-space now :) | 05:35 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: /var/log/partman will have a note buried in it somewhere as to why it isn't being shown | 05:35 |
| xivulon | eh I have to ship a release too :P | 05:35 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_: I tried on my new laptop yesterday which had one 110G ntfs partition with 10G used | 05:35 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: in general I have a strong preference for doing partitioning in Linux, but what you do in your release is your business :) | 05:36 |
| seb128 | ok, I'll have a look if I still get the issue | 05:36 |
| seb128 | I used gparted to resize | 05:36 |
| seb128 | and installed on this partition | 05:36 |
| evand | cjwatson_: if it's reasonable and you have time, can you upload a new m-a and ubiquity? I don't need it to go on the CD. | 05:36 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: how much unpartitioned space? | 05:36 |
| cjwatson_ | or maybe ntfsresize barfed on it | 05:36 |
| evand | http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/upload/migration-assistant_0.5.3.dsc | 05:36 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, by the way in case you did not nonticed I submitted a couple of bug reports re sendsigs | 05:37 |
| evand | I cannot currently prepare the latter as there's some sort of weird networking issue between me and launchpad/ubuntu.com | 05:37 |
| cjwatson_ | evand: ok | 05:37 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: I didn't notice; I can't get to my mail today | 05:37 |
| evand | cjwatson_: thanks, I very much appreciate it | 05:37 |
| xivulon | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto-loop/+bug/150822 | 05:37 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_: none, there is a few Go dell rescue partition, the 110G window vista and like 6-7M which was listed as not partitioned IIRC | 05:38 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_: and after the resize and ubuntu installation the windows vista boot choice is not listed which is somewhat annoying, I need to figure what happened there | 05:39 |
| seb128 | the "dell utility" item is listed | 05:39 |
| seb128 | and Ubuntu | 05:39 |
| seb128 | and that's it | 05:39 |
| xivulon | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/150831 | 05:39 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: the rescue partitions mean that you almost certainly have three primary partitions | 05:40 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: that's enough to inhibit auto-resize at present. we may be able to relax this in hardy. | 05:40 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: the vista thing should be fixed in today's daily - what were you testing? | 05:41 |
| seb128 | I think I had 2 | 05:41 |
| seb128 | the vista one and the dell one | 05:41 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: my Dell laptop shipped with three | 05:41 |
| seb128 | let me check | 05:41 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: both look plausible, can you deal with both of those in local overrides for gutsy? | 05:45 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_: ah right, there is a 94.1M fat16 partition | 05:48 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_: ok, so the resize option is not listed because of the 3 primary partitions? | 05:48 |
| seb128 | that's slightly annoying because ubiquity let you no other choice than to format windows | 05:48 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: or manual partitioning, come on :) | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: but yeah, I know it sucks, can't fix it for gutsy though | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | there's a bug filed about it | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | it's because partman used to think that the root partition absolutely had to be primary | 05:49 |
| seb128 | you can resize from manual partitionning? | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | we can relax that for gutsy because the bootloader installers deal with logicals | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: yes, of course | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | now | 05:49 |
| seb128 | I didn't spot the option, closed and used gparted | 05:49 |
| cjwatson_ | edit the partition and change the size | 05:49 |
| seb128 | that was no obvious to me | 05:50 |
| seb128 | and there was no label on the button suggesting I can resize | 05:50 |
| seb128 | I didn't try that | 05:50 |
| cjwatson_ | we have a design for making it a nice drag thing, but we need gtk/cairo help to actually implement it ... | 05:50 |
| seb128 | ok | 05:50 |
| cjwatson_ | it's true it's not as obvious as it could be at the moment | 05:50 |
| seb128 | and do you have any idea why the vista partition is not listed in grub after installation? | 05:51 |
| evand | that may be fixed | 05:51 |
| evand | was this a daily desktop CD? If so, what date? | 05:51 |
| cjwatson_ | seb128: 16:41 <cjwatson_> seb128: the vista thing should be fixed in today's daily - what were you testing? | 05:52 |
| evand | ah, I missed that as well | 05:52 |
| seb128 | ups, sorry I didn't read that | 05:52 |
| seb128 | I did the installation yesterday afternoon | 05:52 |
| seb128 | and that was the daily from yesterday | 05:52 |
| cjwatson_ | it was a combination busybox/os-prober bug | 05:52 |
| cjwatson_ | fixed yesterday (I hope) | 05:52 |
| cjwatson_ | would appreciate re-testing today | 05:52 |
| seb128 | I'll try a new installation now | 05:52 |
| seb128 | I was about to do it | 05:52 |
| seb128 | I've not configured anything on the laptop yet, I will use it to test installs until gutsy | 05:53 |
| cjwatson_ | cool | 05:53 |
| seb128 | cjwatson_, evand: thanks | 05:53 |
| cjwatson_ | laptop refresh program? | 05:53 |
| seb128 | yes ;) | 05:53 |
| cjwatson_ | worked for me ;-) | 05:54 |
| xivulon | cjwatson_: overrides are fine | 05:56 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: ok, good | 05:56 |
| cjwatson_ | those two will be easy to fix when hardy opens | 05:56 |
| cjwatson_ | evand: m-a uploaded | 05:56 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, quick question is killall5 picky about sendsigs.omit formatting? I mean things like: pidof NOPROCESS >> sendsigs.omit, 2 X pidof sameprocess >> sendisgs.omit, pidof morethanoneprocess >> sendsigs.omit... | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | if [ -e /var/run/sendsigs.omit ] ; then | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | for pid in $(cat /var/run/sendsigs.omit); do | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | OMITPIDS="${OMITPIDS:+$OMITPIDS }-o $pid" | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | done | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | fi | 05:59 |
| cjwatson_ | duplicates won't matter and nonexistent pids will be ignored | 06:00 |
| xivulon | 2 pids in one line? | 06:00 |
| cjwatson_ | not a problem | 06:00 |
| xivulon | great | 06:00 |
| cjwatson_ | it does care that they're all integers | 06:00 |
| cjwatson_ | and you aren't allowed more than 16 | 06:01 |
| cjwatson_ | (stupid arbitrary limit, sorry, was in a hurry) | 06:01 |
| xivulon | you can tell when it's C and not python... | 06:01 |
| CIA-18 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2333 ubiquity/ (configure configure.ac): bump to 1.6.4 | 06:02 |
| CIA-18 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2334 ubiquity/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog): * Automatic update of included source packages: migration-assistant 0.5.3. | 06:04 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, maybe you want to consider the latest lupin, rev 52 diff is 1 lines and avoids having to know what $rootmount is in preseed, 53 fixes the bug above (but forgot to check whether pidof is available in initrd). | 06:08 |
| cjwatson_ | xivulon: sorry, if it's not completely necessary, it's too late | 06:10 |
| xivulon | no big issue | 06:10 |
| cjwatson_ | the uploads I'm doing for evand fix serious installer bugs and data loss | 06:10 |
| cjwatson_ | they're not casual targets of opportunity :) | 06:10 |
| xivulon | well sendsigs/update-grub bugs might be very annoying, but since I am probably the only one on a fuse filesystem, that should be ok for an override | 06:11 |
| xivulon | no sendsigs ~ hard-reboot | 06:12 |
| cjwatson_ | evand: all of your ubiquity changes are tested, right? | 06:14 |
| cjwatson_ | silly question but it's worth checking :) | 06:14 |
| cjwatson_ | (I've been known to skip testing obvious changes myself!) | 06:14 |
| evand | yes | 06:15 |
| evand | if you'd like I can test further, but I tested everything as I went | 06:15 |
| evand | on multiple VMs | 06:15 |
| cjwatson_ | no, that's fine, I just wanted to be sure as I wasn't sure I understood the ubiquity m-a changes | 06:17 |
| cjwatson_ | but I think I grok them now | 06:17 |
| bdmurray | Hello, I ran across a bug that might worth looking at. | 06:17 |
| bdmurray | bug 145836 regarding ubiquity | 06:17 |
| cjwatson_ | bdmurray: most likely unionfs fallout | 06:18 |
| cjwatson_ | the suggested fix cannot work unless the filesystem is fucked | 06:18 |
| CIA-18 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2335 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.6.4 | 06:19 |
| cjwatson_ | bdmurray: I've commented in the bug to that effect | 06:19 |
| bdmurray | Ah, that makes sense. The dailies should not see that issue then? | 06:21 |
| cjwatson_ | bdmurray: btw, this is exactly an example of a bug I don't think should be Triaged ;-) | 06:22 |
| cjwatson_ | bdmurray: I hope not | 06:22 |
| cjwatson_ | (not Triaged => because as a general rule complete system hangs in the live CD are not ubiquity bugs) | 06:22 |
| bdmurray | I'll look again but I thought they said they could continue to use the Live CD so that isn't a complete system hang right? | 06:23 |
| cjwatson_ | some of them said they couldn't | 06:25 |
| cjwatson_ | the installer basically never hangs of its own accord in the range of the progress bar when it's copying files, at any rate | 06:25 |
| cjwatson_ | 53% is right in the middle of that | 06:25 |
| cjwatson_ | anyway, the point is, to a developer the bug reeks of "live session is irreparably screwed by something outside the installer's control", but I wouldn't expect a QA person without direct installer development experience to know that | 06:26 |
| cjwatson_ | it's a good example of where development experience (specifically knowledge of what's going on at that progress bar step) can help work out what's wrong | 06:27 |
| bdmurray | I understand your point and what Keybuk mentioned yesterday. However, it seems like only someone familiar with the code could set the bug to Triaged. Which what I recall from Sevilla was not the goal of the Triaged state. I'm under the impression the goal was to identify more complete bugs so developers have a smaller pool of bugs to look at. (Granted this is the ideal workflow.) | 06:30 |
| cjwatson_ | honestly, I would find a state that meant "I have (or somebody I trust to know this code has) looked at this bug and agree it is a problem in this package" much more useful | 06:31 |
| cjwatson_ | because that lets me use those bugs as a list of things to spend hacking time fixing | 06:31 |
| cjwatson_ | whereas the Triaged state as you define it just produces a slightly different list of things I need to look at and accept, which really isn't a significant improvement over Confirmed | 06:32 |
| cjwatson_ | it certainly isn't worth the extra bug state to me | 06:33 |
| bdmurray | I think the triaged state is worth discussing in more detail then. Perhaps at UDS? | 06:37 |
| === xivulon looks up "triaged" | ||
| cjwatson_ | bdmurray: *nod* | 06:41 |
| xivulon | "Triage is a system of sorting patients according to need when resources are insufficient for all to be treated.". Hmm that's a method not a status... | 06:41 |
| === booxter [n=booxter@86.57.196.169] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| cjwatson_ | "triaged" is the past participle of "triage" and thus has a more adjectival meaning | 06:42 |
| xivulon | Hmm but if treage is a "system of sorting", triaged means "sorted"... Doesn't say much about the sorting order... In fact then there are triaged "tags" | 06:43 |
| xivulon | but english is not my thing... | 06:43 |
| cjwatson_ | triaged means "the nurse (bug investigator) has looked at the patient (the bug) and agreed that he (it) needs to see a doctor (a developer)" | 06:45 |
| cjwatson_ | (I think the state is misnamed as well as less than useful ;-)) | 06:45 |
| cjwatson_ | well, actually, it's probably correctly named with its current definition | 06:45 |
| === xivulon looks up "confirmed" | ||
| xivulon | Guess that's when there are no nurses around, we should stick to triaged then... | 06:47 |
| seb128 | I'm trying a daily install on my laptop | 07:24 |
| seb128 | looks like it's blocked on the langpack installation (87% not moving for some time), my wireless connection is not activated (didn't pick it in network manager), is that expected? | 07:25 |
| evand | yeah, I'm working on a fix for tht | 07:25 |
| evand | that* | 07:25 |
| evand | cjwatson_: do you think checking n-m for an active connection, since we use it by default now, would be reasonable? | 07:25 |
| cjwatson_ | perhaps for hardy | 07:26 |
| cjwatson_ | I think we're stuck with what we've got now | 07:26 |
| evand | ok | 07:26 |
| evand | even for kubuntu where it freezes, or is that important enough for a fix before release? | 07:27 |
| seb128 | how do I continue the installation? | 07:35 |
| seb128 | it's stucked at 87% there | 07:35 |
| evand | seb128: is this an ubuntu daily or kubuntu? | 07:35 |
| seb128 | ubuntu | 07:37 |
| evand | argh, so it's just locking up rather than giving you a dialog that it cannot find the language packs? | 07:37 |
| seb128 | yes | 07:38 |
| seb128 | the progress bar is at 87% for a while now | 07:39 |
| seb128 | I started the install, closed the lid, went away, came back half an hour later and it was stucked to 87% | 07:39 |
| seb128 | and it's still there | 07:39 |
| evand | yikes. I think the only thing you can do is give it a network connection and restart the install. | 07:41 |

| seb128 | that's the first time I run into it | 08:03 |
| seb128 | but usually I'm playing with the CD during install so I activate the network ;) | 08:03 |
