[06:09] <CIA-24> ubiquity: superm1 * r2582 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/mythbuntu/apply-drivers): fix tvout on nvidia newer cards
[07:25] <gan> cjwatson, the ubiquity is not all running after the patch from the link "http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10982933/summary.py.patch"
[15:46] <mario_limonciell> evand, do you end up touching partman-auto ever, or always leave it to colin?
[15:47] <cr3> in the preseed, is there a way to enable serial console forwarding of the installation process?
[15:49] <evand> mario_limonciell: I touch it from time to time.  Merges, small/medium changes, etc.
[15:51] <mario_limonciell> evand, okay.  well I verified bug 204878 that colin left a diff for at the end of last weekend to be functional.  so providing it doesn't break anything for the standard (non preseeded) case, would you mind applying it?
[15:51] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 204878 in dell "When using biggest_free, you are unable to specify a drive" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204878
[15:52] <evand> surely
[15:56] <mario_limonciell> thanks.
[15:57] <cr3> nevermind, console=tty0
[16:17] <cr3> err, console=ttyS0,9600 or somesuch :)
[16:38] <evand> mario_limonciell: tested (non-preseeded install) and uploaded
[16:38] <mario_limonciell> evand, thanks :)
[16:39] <evand> you're welcome
[16:39] <mario_limonciell> evand, any updates on that preseeding other locales/nointeractive and its side effect bugs you ran into?
[16:42] <evand> I have some fixes in my local tree that I'll push before we release a new ubiquity (which we should do soon anyway).  These were minor things like actually exiting when there wasn't a root filesystem defined (previously it would chug along and install to the livefs /).
[16:42] <mario_limonciell> ohh fun stuff :)
[16:44] <mario_limonciell> but the main problem that was happening from the seeding of other languages (like chinese simplified) should be resolved
[16:44] <evand> yes, that fix is already in the tree
[16:46] <bizkut> allo
[16:46] <bizkut> i got partitioning problem with installer
[16:47] <bizkut> the installer can't see the partitions
[16:47] <mario_limonciell> okay gerat
[16:47] <mario_limonciell> *great even
[16:47] <bizkut> but i can see it with sudo fdisk -l
[16:47] <bizkut> the installer on shows /dev/hda with no partition
[16:48] <bizkut> *only
[16:49] <bizkut> it is yesterday nightly build ppc desktop
[16:49] <bizkut> i try to start ubiquity with sudo but it still the same
[16:51] <evand> bizkut: can you file a bug against ubiquity with /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, and the output of fdisk -l as attachments?  Thanks.
[16:52] <bizkut> ok i am reproducing the problem
[16:59] <bizkut> evand: where do i put this logs?
[17:02] <evand> bizkut: as attachments in the bug you file.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs
[17:08] <mario_limonciell> evand, provided the 03/22/08 dvd image is functional for us, we're switching to DVD images from hear on out.  Once you roll up all the changes into ubiquity 1.8.1, could you try to remember to generate a dvd image with it?
[17:10] <evand> mario_limonciell: making a note of it, will do.
[17:14] <bizkut> bug reported
[17:14] <bizkut> is it actually a bug or a failure on my partition table?
[17:15] <bizkut> the mac os x can see them well
[17:15] <bizkut> the nautilus too
[17:23] <evand> bizkut: it looks like a bug in partman.
[17:25] <bizkut> great
[17:27] <bizkut> is it arch specified bug or universal?
[17:27] <evand> arch specific
[17:28] <bizkut> i just love this ibook to run ubuntu because it seems to run faster than any decent i386 laptop
[17:30] <bizkut> how can we fix this?
[17:31] <bizkut> i never try to install hardy with alternate cd
[22:34] <joshk> hi - is the find_preseed option still in hardy?
[22:35] <joshk> alternatively, is there a new way in hardy to look on other media for preseed.cfg files?
[22:36] <joshk> mmmm. never mind. the internet solves my problem. bug #144798..
[22:36] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 144798 in casper "Merge lupin functionality + add external hooks" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/144798
[22:40] <joshk> wait, that isn't fixed yet for ubuntu. only wubi
[22:52] <joshk> aha.. custom_installation.
[23:04] <joshk> okay. is there a good reason why 1) lupin-helpers find_path doesn't look at floppy devices anymore 2) is_supported_fs does not contain iso9660?
