| zandos | hey all.. hows everyone tonight? | 06:37 |
|---|---|---|
| zandos | would this be the place to mention iusses i've had with the installer? | 06:38 |
| superm1 | hi zandos, file a bug on launchpad | 06:39 |
| superm1 | this channel is more for development purposes | 06:39 |
| superm1 | the installer team regularly triages all the bugs filed | 06:39 |
| zandos | rite on i'll file that bug.. thanks | 06:40 |
| tepsipakki | is there a way to preseed partman to use crypted disks? The documentation doesn't mention that | 09:10 |
| tepsipakki | ah, found it | 09:15 |
| tepsipakki | partman-auto/method | 09:16 |
| tepsipakki | but crypto is not mentioned as an option for gutsy | 09:16 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, when you have time can you please have a look at lupin-support gutsy? | 10:25 |
| xivulon | I have added the files required to make loopinstallations boot/unboot | 10:26 |
| xivulon | I hope I did not my messed up tha package too badly (first one for me, so be kind). | 10:26 |
| xivulon | The plan is to use overrides to replace the package available on the ISO with this one | 10:27 |
| xivulon | For hardy, the changes in lupin-support should hopefully be incorporated upstream | 10:30 |
| xivulon | I had a few reports of system hangs while copying files. What is the status of unionfs? | 11:12 |
| xivulon | Bug #138915 is still triaged | 11:13 |
| cr3 | regarding bug #156042, is there a way to preseed the driver which will be configured in xorg.conf? | 14:27 |
| cjwatson | that's up to the X maintainer scripts | 14:33 |
| cjwatson | there used to be, but you'd have to ask them | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | if it's still how it used to be, the installation guide has the necessary information | 14:34 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, did you see my previous messages? | 14:35 |
| cjwatson | you should ask the kernel team about unionfs, not here | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | lupin I'll look at when I have time, but only with an eye to hardy | 14:37 |
| xivulon | well, as mentioned, for hardy the stuff in lupin should be moved upstream | 14:38 |
| xivulon | lupin now is mostly a workaround for bugs in current gutsy code | 14:38 |
| xivulon | re hangs I was wondering if you had any new reports about problems while copying files after the final release | 14:39 |
| cjwatson | not that I've seen but I have mainly been concentrating on UDS | 14:40 |
| cjwatson | evand may know more | 14:40 |
| cjwatson | at least some of lupin I'm not convinced will ever be appropriate for mainline - the sysctl stuff | 14:41 |
| xivulon | talking about UDS, can you approve the https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/installer-for-windows | 14:42 |
| xivulon | re sysctl, it could use a conditional switch: if on loopinstallation do this otherwise skip | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | approved for uds-boston-2007 | 14:43 |
| xivulon | thanks | 14:43 |
| xivulon | [ -x "$(/usr/lib/lupin/host_device)" ] && [ -n "$(/usr/lib/lupin/host_device)" ] || exit 0 | 14:45 |
| xivulon | -x /usr/lib/lupin/host_device that is | 14:45 |
| evand | I haven't noticed any new bugs regarding unionfs nor have I seen issues myself. Given the changes the kernel team made, I've considered the situation resolved. | 14:46 |
| xivulon | Hmm strange. | 14:48 |
| xivulon | evand, If I wanted to make Ubiquity install my custom lupin-support package as opposed to the one on the ISO, what route would be preferrable? | 14:53 |
| xivulon | consider that I can override the files on the ISO | 14:54 |
| evand | why not remaster the CD with the custom lupin-support? | 14:54 |
| xivulon | Because I do not want to destribute my own ISOs just for a package :P | 14:55 |
| xivulon | distribute | 14:55 |
| evand | ah, right | 14:55 |
| xivulon | There is an override mechanism in place, that allows to change files of a stock ISO before the Live CD boots | 14:55 |
| xivulon | I can of course install the package using success_command | 14:56 |
| evand | if you're using ubiquity it needs to get added to the manifest, otherwise it will be removed. | 14:57 |
| evand | that's assuming you intend to put it in before the install starts | 14:58 |
| evand | as you say, you could use success_command. I'm not sure if there's really a "best way" here. | 14:58 |
| xivulon | I was thinking of overwriting pool/l/lupin-support but then what other files do I need to change? md5checksum? | 14:59 |
| evand | erm, I believe you also need to change the Packages file. | 15:01 |
| xivulon | nice, I'll have a go tonight. | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | $ test -x ""; echo $? | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | 1 | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | you don't need that [ -n ] | 15:03 |
| xivulon | yeah corrected that in next line, the second part though you need -n | 15:03 |
| xivulon | since host_device will return a string only if on a loopmount | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | oh I see, I misunderstood your correction | 15:04 |
| xivulon | 15:09 | |
| xivulon | The file /lib/lupin/host_device is in the new lupin-support/gutsy files | 15:10 |
| xivulon | It is convenient to factor it out so that we can change our definition of host_device/loopmounts without changinging other code. | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | evand: would you register a spec for hardy-ubiquity-usability and propose it for UDS, please? | 21:15 |
| cjwatson | evand: my notes are as follows, but feel free to add other stuff of your own | 21:16 |
| evand | will do | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | Incorporate the output of usability reviews of Ubiquity. Include | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | also: | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | * fixes for auto-resize text | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | * general autopartitioner revamp (ue-partitioning-tool) | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | * UTC/local question | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | * allow use of smaller screen size | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | oem-config has much the same UI and may benefit from the same | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | reviews. | 21:16 |
| evand | should I also ping the tech board and ask for approval? | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | just ping me | 21:16 |
| evand | will do | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | I can do it now | 21:16 |
| cjwatson | evand: have you also read through http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-boston-2007/ and prepared for the things with your name attached to them? if so, now would be a good time to do so | 21:17 |
| cjwatson | er, "if not" | 21:17 |
| evand | also, while I have you here, are there any specific main merges that you'd prefer I don't take | 21:17 |
| evand | wrt the installer | 21:17 |
| cjwatson | none that I prefer you don't take | 21:17 |
| evand | cjwatson: yes, I have been keeping trakc of it | 21:17 |
| evand | ok | 21:17 |
| cjwatson | I did a batch yesterday and today to try to get ahead a bit | 21:17 |
| cjwatson | probably quite a few left though | 21:18 |
| evand | indeed there are | 21:18 |
| cjwatson | of the current list, I've done anna, and partman-basicfilesystems should wait until the version I uploaded to Debian today is available in the bzr branch | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | clock-setup has a lot of interesting changes and needs some care | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | actually, I should probably do console-setup | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | and I synced libdebian-installer | 21:21 |
| cjwatson | I don't see anything else of special note | 21:21 |
| evand | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/hardy-ubiquity-usability | 21:21 |
| evand | ok | 21:21 |
| cjwatson | approved, thanks | 21:22 |
| evand | ah, you successfully lobbied to get the permissions changed, I see. | 21:22 |
| cjwatson | I did | 21:24 |
