ub4bi'm testing a cutom 8.04 server image on 64b VmWare ESX 3.5, for some strange reason debina installer tries to configure PPPoE even though I have 'd-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true' in my preseed file09:30
=== stgraber1 is now known as stgraber
ub4bI removed ppp_2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb and ppp-udeb_2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2_amd64.udeb from the CD and the PPPoE probing is gone :)12:53

xivulonsummary: my preliminary tests (booting off the extracted ISO content and other mods) are ok, but had to add minor fixes to lupin/hardy.proposed as well to partman-auto-loop/hardy.proposed on top of casper/hardy.proposed14:16
xivulonall the 3 set of */hardy.proposed are required, it is not going to work otherwise14:17
davmor2xivulon: Quick wubi question.  Should m-a not kick in to transfer the windows settings across to the wubi install?  If so it isn't and do you want it reporting?14:17
xivulondavmor2: yes please, m-a should kick in at least for some settings14:18
xivulonby the way, were you at uds?14:18
davmor2No but I saw the wubi vid :)14:19

davmor2xivulon: bug 234974 any info you need for it?14:31
greenwhichthx14:31
davmor2xivulon: No ubotu here's the link https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/23497414:31
xivulondavmor2 it helps if you (re)install in verbose mode, and then paste the tgz of /var/log/installer (after installation)14:36
davmor2xivulon: How do I set it to run in verbose mode?14:37
davmor2is it just a case of running wubi -v from cmd or something similar?14:40
davmor2xivulon: ^ I'll run it tomorrow anyway.14:45
xivulondavmor2 uninstall and reinstall, when you reboot press esc after ubuntu14:45
xivulonnp14:45
davmor2xivulon: Right with you the Ubiquity installer rather than the wubi np's.14:47
davmor2I'll add the log to to the bug.14:47
xivulondavmor2: thx14:50
cjwatsongreenwhich: the Launchpad team grants commit access, so normally we ask people to be established patch contributors before joining that team15:07
greenwhichcjwatson: mm,ok.it's clear.so how process works with guys like me, who just became a ubuntero and wants to help in development?15:10
cjwatsongreenwhich: start fixing bugs that annoy you, and attach patches to bugs; ask if you need specific help15:23
greenwhichok15:23
cjwatsonsimple as that really15:23
greenwhichthank you:)15:23
greenwhichyeah15:23
cjwatson(that's a good model for nearly all development projects; some differ a bit in one direction or another, but that's basically how it tends to work)15:24
cjwatsonof course if you want to dive into feature development work then that's OK too, but it's usually better to work on improving what's there for a while before you attempt that15:24
greenwhichyep, agree15:25
greenwhichneed to try it at first15:25

fokacjwatson, Here?22:50
fokacjwatson, http://www.unifoundry.com/unifont.html22:51
cjwatsonfoka: coo, thanks. I sent that link to Debian #21872023:10
cjwatsonI'll send the Ubuntu patches his way too when I get a few minutes23:12
fokacjwatson, Cool!  :-)  Paul Hardy of Unifoundry sent an ITA and requested for help on debian-mentors, and I just happened to see that by happy accident.23:13
fokahttp://bugs.debian.org/35659423:15
cjwatsonAt some point I may be able to dig myself out from under openssh ...23:16
fokaBTW, thank you for the speedy remedy to the SSH vulnerable key problem.  It must have been very hectic for you.23:19
cjwatsonit's especially fun when such things are wedged in between company performance reviews and conference organisation23:21
fokaNo doubt eh, but I'm glad you pulled it through.  Not easy at all.23:26
cjwatsonand with http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes/2008/05/msg02311.html there's no sign of it slowing down ;-)23:26
cjwatsonyeah, one of those things you have no choice but to deal with one way or another; definitely the worst vulnerability I've seen in my time23:26
fokaSorry, I gave you the wrong link.  Here is the ITA message on debian-mentors... (I don't know what his ITA bug number is though... not filed under wnpp...)23:27
fokahttp://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2008/05/msg00502.html23:27
fokaYes, it is pretty shocking, and I bet many people still don't know about it.  (e.g. novice system admins in China who don't read news or seldom upgrade their systems...)23:28
fokaOh my, that's a very long changelog!23:29
fokaThank you for the great effort you put into fixing this.  I see you have taken extraordinary measures to remedy this major vulnerability.  (Yes, I agree with you: It is the most widespread and the worst)23:32
cjwatsonnext step is to take further measures to force people to upgrade, like having the client refuse to send blacklisted keys as well23:32
