xivulonevand, I hacked this simple script to migrate wubi installations to real partitions09:40
xivulonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wubi-move-to-partition09:40
xivulonit is intended as a proof of concept for the real ubiquity stuff09:40
xivulonbut I thought it would be nice to show that in the UDS demo as well09:41
xivulonhence could you please test it?09:41
xivulonand if it is ok could you please setup the machine so that there are 2 available empty partitions (/ + swap) to migrate to?09:42
xivulonan existing swap partition can also be reused09:42
evandxivulon: I spoke with cjwatson about including that and we don't think there will be time in the 20 minute slot to cover that...10:14
xivuloncertainly not in 20 min...10:15
evandWe were thinking of running through an install in the background and while that's going talk about what's actually happening and then if there's a minute or two left over we can talk about  a bulleted feature list for the future10:15
xivulonevand, well test it anyway.10:15
xivulonsounds good10:16
evandif you'd like a second talk session, talk to cjwatson as he controls the schedule10:16
evandI will when I have free time.  I'm quite busy with UDS.10:16
xivulonI do not think that is necessary, my understanding is that there will be a session for migrating from wubi to partition via ubiquity10:16
evandcorrect10:16
xivulonwe can show that up then maybe, and talk while the thingy runs10:17
evandif you haven't already seen it, the schedule is up at http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-intrepid10:17
evandthere's also a #ubuntu-devel-summit channel10:17
xivulonthx10:18
evandyou're welcome10:18
xivulontomorrow there is a meeting USB installation images, as discussed a few days ago' it might be an option to add an entry to wubi so that it can also produce a bootable USB key/hd with ISO10:22
xivulonmight want to mention that10:23
xivulonthat of course only if a windows tool is desired in addition to the ubuntu script10:24
xivulonevand I can see the migration session on the 23rd but do not see the main wubi session10:28
davmor2xivulon: hello.  I forgot to say yesterday I added no code to the script I simply ran it after using gparted to change the empty partition to ext3 then it worked flawlessly :)10:30
xivulononly available slot seems to be 11am on the 23rd10:30
xivulondavmor2: I edited that anyway, just in case, thanks a lot for yesterday tests.10:30
davmor2no probs :)10:31
xivulonevand can we book that for wubi?10:31
evandwhat was the topic for the main wubi session again?10:34
xivulonthe stuff I sent an email about a couple of weeks ago'10:34
xivulonall the features/changes + all kernel stuff10:35
evandright right10:35
evandcjwatson: ^10:35
xivulonas mentioned then I'd like ben or cking to attend10:35
evandBen isn't here.  I think Colin King is.10:35
xivuloncking has been most helpful and has already looked into loop files and related amenities, it would be great to have him around10:38
xivulonbug #20413310:39
cjwatsonplease talk to jcastro rather than me about the talk schedule11:06
cjwatsonxivulon: ^-11:06
cjwatson(if you decide you want to)11:06
xivuloncjwatson yes, will do, I think that a session for wubi would be needed11:07
cjwatsonof course, that's why it's on the schedule :P11:07
xivuloncjwatson: is 23rd 11am good for you?11:08
cjwatsonwell, migration anyway11:08
cjwatsonthere is NO MORE ROOM on the platform schedule11:08
cjwatsonhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-intrepid/11:08
xivulon23 11am is empty as far as I can see11:09
xivulonor maybe we can extend the migration session slightly and make it a full wubi discussion11:09
cjwatsonmm, there was a reason that didn't get filled up but I forget it11:09
cjwatsonthat would be better11:10
xivulonif it can book I'd say we can book the 11am session since it is before the migration session anyway11:10
xivulonif it is free we will use it, if there was something else to do we will squeeze everything into the migration session11:11
cjwatsonok, I'm not going to decide it now, I have a lot of demands11:11
cjwatsonI can look at it on Thu evening11:11
xivulonsure11:11
cjwatsonthe platform schedule *was* actually full, I swear11:11
cjwatsonthere was actually something that couldn't fit in11:11
cjwatsonsomebody other than me must have moved it around11:11
xivulonah well I'll reserve the slot then :)11:12
xivulonevand, cjwatson have created this wiki to help with the discussion https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiIntrepid11:44
xivulonI will attach it to a blueprint too11:44
xivulonevand, I have asked jcastro to allocate the 11am slot on #ubuntu-devel-summit, in case he misses that, can you please remind him?11:45
cjwatsonerr11:46
cjwatsonno, please don't, my comment about jcastro was *only* about talks because I thought that's what weyou meant11:47
cjwatsonjcastro is not permitted to mess around with the platform track11:47
cjwatsons/weyou/you/11:47
xivuloncjwatson, sorry I misunderstood then11:47
cjwatsonI will remember your request and there's no need to ask anyone else to bypass me :)11:47
xivulonwan't my intention to bypass you :) did not get the meaning of your message above re jcastro11:48

xivulonwell I like the mockup of the partition selector in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiIntrepid I think it would imporve usability also for standard ubiquity12:37
xivulonBasically it only lists free space and empty partitions.12:38
xivulonPlus it has two buttons to free up space (resize partition and delete disk/partition)12:39
xivulonI think that splitting the tasks makes things much clearer12:39
xivulonSo if disk 1 is in use, instead of "Install in disk 1" you will have to do "Delete disk 1" + "Use free space in disk 1"12:46
xivulonIf disk 1 it can be used12:47
xivulonSo it is impossible to mess things up, unless you press "Delete disk/partition" explicitly12:49
xivulonor use the manual mode12:49
xivulonevand consider ^ for ubiquity usability improvements (ubiquity visual refresh session)13:00

cjwatsonevand: do you have a ubiquity hardy branch anywhere? just noticing I have a bug or two that ought to go there20:03
cjwatsonor is ubiquity 1.9.0 really going to be 1.8.8?20:03
xivulonevand would it be possible to have another go at releasing lupin 0.17?20:07
xivulonnote that I fixed the typos in the hardy.proposed branch20:14
