[00:25] <mgunes> Hi, I'm in need of info triaging bug #164842; I'd appreciate a comment.
[00:25] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 164842 in debian-installer "Live-CD boot menu: german help text contains untranslated string" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/164842
[12:34] <cjwatson> mgunes: I don't think it needs further triaging. Just leave it alone where it is
[12:35] <mgunes> cjwatson, are d-i strings manually exported from LP?
[12:35] <cjwatson> yes
[12:35] <mgunes> may there have been a failure in the process with the German strings, since they seem to have been translated in Rosetta?
[12:36] <cjwatson> the export I have shows them as fuzzy
[12:36] <mgunes> fuzzy?
[12:36] <cjwatson> are you familiar with gettext?
[12:36] <mgunes> not in depth
[12:36] <cjwatson> become so :-)
[12:37] <cjwatson> fuzzy corresponds roughly to "needs review", "broken in some way", etc.
[12:37] <mgunes> ah, right
[12:38]  * mgunes checks Rosetta entries
[12:38] <cjwatson> it's fine in Rosetta *now*, but probably wasn't on 5 Oct when I did the export
[12:39] <mgunes> actually, it's still up for review in Rosetta
[12:40] <cjwatson> ah
[12:40] <cjwatson> anyway, I've rejected the bug
[12:41] <cjwatson> and I'm supposed to be on holiday today so I'll go and do something else :)
[12:41] <cjwatson> I think a failure in the export is extraordinarily unlikely
[12:43] <mgunes> I think it boils down to someone outside the German translation team having done the translation
[12:43] <mgunes> anyway, thanks for your attention, good holidays :)
[12:46] <cjwatson> outside> yes, very possible
[13:08] <tjaalton> cjwatson: re: xorg.conf stub cleaned by livecd-rootfs; do you suggest we should fix it in the x-x.postinst?
[13:14] <tjaalton> I wonder why the problem was introduced in hardy, if it really is livecd-rootfs that does the cleaning
[15:39] <tjaalton> there's a bug in apt-setup generators/91security
[15:39] <tjaalton> echo "deb http://$host/ $codename/updates $dists" >> $file
[15:39] <tjaalton> that should not be tried on ubuntu
[15:39] <tjaalton> because hardy/updates is nonexistent
[15:50] <cjwatson> tjaalton: thanks, fixed
[15:50] <cjwatson> tjaalton: ask me tomorrow about xorg.conf
[15:50] <tjaalton> cjwatson: ok, sure
[19:49] <xivulon> cjwatson any objections against the following ugly lines to detect whether / is on an host device?
[19:49] <xivulon> loopdev=$(awk '$2=="/" && $4~"loop" {print $1}' /etc/fstab)
[19:49] <xivulon> hostdev=$(awk '"'${loopdev}'"~"^"$2 && $2!="/" {print $1}' /proc/mounts)
[19:49] <xivulon> I'll need to use the above in quite a few places
[19:50] <xivulon> both during installation and regular boot
[19:58] <evand> xivulon: you're probably better off emailing him.  He's on vacation today.
[19:58] <xivulon> ah ok
[19:59] <xivulon> evand can you spot anything wrong in the above?
[19:59] <xivulon> basically it tries to find a mountpoint in /proc/partitions which hosts the file used to loopmount /
[20:00] <xivulon> should be generic enough
[20:02] <evand> Indeed.  It looks ok to me, but best to check with cjwatson, just to be on the safe side.
