greearbcjwatson, thanks, my xchat buffer scrolled off over the long weekend.00:10
greearbboot.cat and a *CN.hlp file in isolinux/ is bad, it seems...maybe I generated the md5sum file wrong?00:51
twbDoes ubiquity do raid and/or lvm yet?07:26
cjwatsonno, sorry07:26
twbNo problem, thanks.07:27

xivulonsome users claim that .17 kernel breaks wubi, can somebody please test that and confirm?13:02
xivulonevand ^14:45
xivulonalso do you recall the discussion about http://www.sendspace.com/file/vwm18u ? the chap does in fact have an sda5 partition, not sure why partman has issues with it14:46
cjwatsonI think that's due to a problem in wubi's preseeding that will happen for any non-English installs14:50
xivuloncjwatson: can you expand? I cannot access the logs from here14:50
cjwatsonxivulon: I think you need to apply http://paste.ubuntu.com/15325/ (untested)14:51
cjwatsonthat form of preseeding was needed before hardy, but was buggy in this kind of way and hardy introduced a better scheme14:51
cjwatsonthe installation guide documents the form in that patch now14:52
xivulonWill do, wasn't aware of that14:52
cjwatsonlooks like I missed that wubi used that14:52
evandodd that it wasn't triggered in other installs15:07
xivulonwas thinking the same thing, anywy will ask the user to try that15:39
xivulonanything else I should change in the preseed file?15:44
cjwatsonI didn't see anything else obvious, at least not in the same category of problems15:46
cjwatsondidn't do a full audit though15:46
xivulonI opened bug #235518 if you can think of anything else, feel free to put it in there15:55

davmor2xivulon: sorry for the late start on the verbose test just got busy.  It's running now and put the log file online as soon as it has finished :)18:17
tmmoyerI have a package that is a custom GRUB bootloader.  The package name is TrustedGRUB, but I indicate that it provides linux-boot-loader.  Is there anyway in the seed file to have that selected as the bootloader instead of traditional GRUB, while using the seeded answers from the GRUB debconf questions?18:18
tmmoyerwhere might I find information/source for the installer that handles bootloaders?  I would like to see how grub is installed and create a custom version that will installer TrustedGRUB from a package that I have created?18:32
davmor2xivulon: which log file did you want?18:50
davmor2was it casper.log18:51
xivulonevand my branching naming convention was to keep one per release i.e. wubi/hardy lupin/hardy and then branch off for intrepid development18:51
xivulondavmor2: can you remind me of the bug in question?18:51
xivulonevand, do you prefer to have a single trunk, and only create branches for *.proposed?18:52
davmor2bug 234974 m-a not functioning in wubi18:52
xivulondavmor2 you have to install in verbose mode, then from ubuntu tgz /var/log/installer18:53
xivulonpassword might be in there (although hashed)18:53
davmor2xivulon: right no probs18:54
xivulondavmor2: thx18:54
xivulonevand, also didn't you mention that new changes didn't have to be in trunk but in a separate branch a few days ago'?18:56
evandxivulon: correct, I'd prefer for future branches that you create project.trunk or something similar and then branch for things like hardy-proposed, that way there's no confusion or unnecessary branch creation when a new release comes out.18:57
evandI don't see any need to change existing branches, however.18:57
xivulonI have no strong preference for branch naming, will do as you say in the future18:58
evandok, thanks18:58
xivulonwould you think it is appropriate to rename the current hardy branches to trunk or simply branch off and start fresh?18:58
evandI think they're fine as-is for now.18:59
xivulonso intrepid development will take care in a new branch called trunk/devel18:59
evandbut I wont complain if you want to rename them.18:59
xivulonwhatever you prefer18:59
evandI don't think a new branch is the right solution.  Assuming LP supports branch renaming, changing *.hardy to *.trunk is suitable, though I don't think there's any rush to do that.19:02
xivulonevand re pm-utils had a message yesterday about a user that had a corrupted fs because of hard reboot after hibernation19:02
xivulonso yes, I'd like to see that in 8.04.119:03
davmor2xivulon: It's up I chmoded the file so you can access it.19:03

xivulonfor 230716 cjwatson confirmed that the code was ok in casper, doing that in lupin-casper would be more invasive19:08
xivulonevand ^19:08
evandok19:09
xivulonon 222546 I had a quick exchange with Lamont via the bug comments, didn't hear anything else since19:10
xivulonfor 229000 yep, didn't have time to look at the code yet, but will do so19:11
xivulonthat was intended more as a reminder for self19:11
