[12:37] <evand> xivulon: ubuntu-7.10-alpha.exe crashes on me occasionally
[12:38] <evand> xivulon: is it possible to build it with debugging symbols?
[12:40] <xivulon> probably yes but won't have time before rc
[12:41] <xivulon> can you use a generic strace?
[12:41] <evand> there is such a thing for windows?
[12:41] <xivulon> yes
[12:41] <xivulon> but now I forgot the name
[12:41] <evand> neat
[12:42] <xivulon> one sec
[12:42] <evand> I'll poke around
[12:42] <xivulon> http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
[12:43] <xivulon> you can also run wubi-cdboot --debug
[12:44] <evand> ok, I'll see if I can cause it to crash again using that after this install with it finishes
[01:08] <xivulon> ok I found the issue with XP uninstall, will have to upload again and do another round of tests
[01:08] <xivulon> hopefully will be the last
[01:20] <xivulon> evand can you please go through another test with rev 328
[01:20] <xivulon> no need probably to do the full installation of ubuntu
[01:22] <xivulon> xp works fine
[01:22] <xivulon> going to reboot to try on vista
[01:22] <xivulon> brb
[01:32] <xivulon> vista looks good too...
[01:32] <xivulon> I mean: the installer works on vista
[01:33] <xivulon> evand did you managed to reproduce any crash?
[01:40] <xivulon> cjwatson wubi-cdboot works for me both on vista and xp, installer and uninstaller
[01:40] <xivulon> make sure you have rev328
[01:55] <CIA-18> ubiquity: superm1 * r2346 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/mythbuntu_apply.py): fix locale bugs: bug 150029 and bug 149935
[01:15] <subha> hi all,i have a serious problem with ubuntu installer.i have been keeping a custom local repository where i have changed the distribution name to testing & code name to etch and I am keeping my Release file (http://192.168.31.37/bosscd/dists/etch/Release) in this way.The structure is same except the dists name.But at the net installation time when i am preseeding the dists name & code name it is not taking.It is throwing errors.Not a valid releas
[01:15] <subha> e file.Codename can't found .how to solve this one?I am using netboot pkg. for pxe net installation

[02:58] <xivulon> If I wanted to submit a bug vs /etc/init.d/umountfs what would be the place?
[02:58] <xivulon> sysvinit?
[03:01] <xivulon> found
[03:01] <cjwatson_> xivulon: yes
[03:11] <xivulon> cjwatson when you have some spare time, please consider bugs #151579 #151580
[03:12] <xivulon> The second one I can go around with using existing code, but the first one implies a ugly workaround on my side, and I'd rather have that in if possible
[03:12] <xivulon> I'll provide the code tonight
[03:13] <evand> xivulon: did you already talk to cjwatson about which revision to use as you mentioned to me last night?
[03:13] <xivulon> it should be rev328
[03:14] <xivulon> which is the one on the website at the moment
[03:28] <xivulon> evand did you have a chance to test it?
[03:51] <CIA-18> oem-config: cjwatson * r372 oem-config/ (debian/changelog oem-config-dm): * Set HOME in oem-config-dm so that iceauth is happier.
[03:53] <CIA-18> oem-config: cjwatson * r373 oem-config/ (debian/changelog oem-config-dm): * Start dcopserver before kwin (LP: #145226).
[04:04] <evand> xivulon: sorry about that, compiz hates my ram.  I'm testing it now, but it seems to be taking an awful long time to get past the initrd.
[04:09] <xivulon> evand I am satisfied if you test the cdboot and can boot the CD when the bios starts from HD. Then reboot windows and try to uninstall.
[04:10] <evand> the former works, testing the latter now
[04:14] <evand> We should definitely revisit this at UDS.  I think the fact that it stays in the Windows bootloader after you're done using the CD is confusing, as is uninstalling it from add/remove programs, but still having an ubuntu partition if you opted to install
[04:14] <evand> perhaps you could rename the entry in grub to something like "boot Ubuntu CD"?  Just a thought.
[04:18] <evand> xivulon: ok, rebooting, uninstalling, and rebooting works as well
[04:22] <xivulon> thanks
[04:24] <xivulon> evand, I can have a script to uninstall at next windows boot, that's a good idea
[04:25] <evand> great
[04:25] <xivulon> All is required is a batch file in startups, but I guess it will be post rc
[04:27] <xivulon> the flipcoin is that if the user reboots into windows without choosing the ubuntu option, he will loose the installation, and that will be confusing too
[04:29] <evand> I think it wont be as confusing.  I imagine most people will just run wubi again to get the option back.
[04:30] <xivulon> makes sense, I could also drop some sort of flag to signal that ubuntu was booted, but I guess it's to late for that
[04:34] <xivulon> Uninstalling automatically is very easy (2 lines) but I can only change that tonight. Would it be ok to have it after rc?
[04:35] <evand> you'd have to run that by cjwatson or a release manager.  I'd go with cjwatson as he's more familiar with this feature than the RMs are.
[04:42] <cjwatson> I think that would be fine
[06:27] <CIA-18> oem-config: cjwatson * r374 oem-config/ (debian/changelog oem-config-dm): * Run kdesktop too to fix the background in KDE.
[06:55] <CIA-18> oem-config: cjwatson * r375 oem-config/ (configure configure.ac): bump to 1.23
[07:18] <xivulon> has the rc been delayed by much? in case I can have the new version tonight
[11:30] <qhartman> I am working on remastering some dapper install discs for a custom internal project. I have had success using the advice found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization on a 32-bit alt install iso. Now I am trying to get it done using a 64 bit server iso and I am having trouble with it.
[11:31] <qhartman> Even if I make no changes to the files extracted from the ISO and simply re-burn it, I get an error about the Release file when I start the install
[11:31] <qhartman> does the 64-bit disc do something that is not covered in the Install CD guide above? It seems the same on the surface, but clearly it is not. Is there any way to get more detail from d-i about what specifically it doesn't like about the release file?
[11:54] <xivulon> cjwatson, evand I produced rev329 to add automatic uninstaller
[11:54] <xivulon> I saved the binary in a different place
[11:59] <xivulon> So the old link still points to yesterday's version
