xivulonquick q on accessibility00:25
xivulonI noticed that braille uses it's own boot parameter as opposed to being access=braille00:25
xivulonHow should the dialog be: radio for v1 v2 v3 braille m1 m2 or is braille a separate option?00:26
xivulonradio: v1 v2 v3 m1 m2 + checkbox braille00:27
=== cr3_ is now known as cr3
xivulonI have added accessibility support to wubi, if someone can have a quick look and let me know if there is anything to change09:46
xivulonI skipped braille for the time being, see ^^^09:47

evandxivulon: I believe braille is the same as the others, it should be a separate option, but check with TheMuso.14:08
xivulonevand what do you have in ubuntu startup? I will replicate the interface there?14:12
xivulonlive CD boot options I mean14:12
evandxivulon: High Contrast, Magnifier, Screen Reader, Braille Terminal, Keyboard Modifiers, On-Screen Keyboard.14:32
xivulonv1=high contrast, v2=magnifier...?14:39
xivulonDo you show the above text, or something like "Mild Visibility"14:39
evandin the same order, that's access=v1, v2, v3, brltty, m1, m214:43

evandso we have a problem in that when ubiquity crashes when loopinstalling, it ends up on the live CD desktop.  Most users will interpret this as the result of the install, rather than install failure.17:58
evandpart of the problem is that I haven't finished exception handling in components, so if the crash happens there they wont get an error dialog at all.17:59
evandI think we could solve most cases by copying the log files to the host partition and calling zenity (failure_command happens before ubiquity's error dialog shows) to tell the user that an error occurred and the system will now reboot.18:02
evandin failure_command that is18:02
evandbut I'm not sure how to handle cases where we haven't enclosed a portion of code in a try block.18:03
xivulonShall I put the log-copy code into a preseed (failure_command) or will that be handled by ubiquity / ubiquity-init?18:07
evandthe former18:07
xivulonAlso is zenity always available?18:07
evandI think in the case of gtk18:08
xivulonwill I be in X or in a console environment by the time failure_command is executed?18:10
evandyou'll be in X18:10
evandok, so you have zenity in gtk and kdialog in kde18:11
xivulonok then18:11
xivulon[ -e /host/ubuntu ] && tar -czf /host/ubuntu/installation-logs.tgz /varl/log; #TBD msg in zenity || kdialog; reboot18:12
evandroughly, yes18:12
xivulon+/-18:12
evandcjwatson: does this seem like a reasonable approach to the above problem to you?18:12
cjwatsoncalling zenity is pretty gross, but might be the quickest workaround18:14
cjwatsonand is about all you can really do in a hook18:15
evandindeed18:17
evandthis still doesn't take care of situations where the installer crashes in an odd place though :/18:17
xivulonbug #19102918:19
ubotuLaunchpad bug 191029 in wubi "On failure, copy the logs to windows and reboot" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19102918:19
evandxivulon: oh, gzipping it might be a bad idea as most people wont have 7zip installed on their Windows machine.18:21
xivulonand notepad will get confued by \n :P18:22
evandwordpad ftw18:22
xivulonis zip generally available?18:22
evandit's on the CD18:22
xivulonI'll use zip then18:23
xivuloncjwatson had a user with a frozen system since he rebooted before autopartition-loop (which sets sendsigs.omit)18:29
xivulonI think I should move that to lupin find_iso if you agree18:29
xivulonor _also_ to lupin find_iso18:29
xivulononce I am there I might rename find_ido to iso-scan/filename18:29
