[08:50] <grrrreg> hi
[08:51] <grrrreg> I got an error during net-install: udeb libntfs-3g23 fails to load
[08:51] <grrrreg> How can I bypass its installation in my preseed conf ?
[08:56] <CIA-1> debian-installer: cjwatson * r922 hardy-proposed/ (9 files in 4 dirs): Move to 2.6.24-19 kernels.
[08:58] <CIA-1> debian-installer: cjwatson * r923 hardy-proposed/debian/changelog: releasing version 20070308ubuntu40.3
[13:46] <xivulon> evand, ping
[14:00] <evand> xivulon: pong
[14:03] <xivulon> evand, can we move forwards on the 2 patches in email?
[14:04] <xivulon> I would like to have a couple of weeks for wubi point release tests
[14:04] <xivulon> it is not possible to boot the new wubi without those patches
[14:06] <xivulon> I did some quick tests with python, it is really tough to go below 4.5MB
[14:08] <evand> I'll look over them today.  As far as bundled Python goes, I'll bring it up during the Platform Team meeting and see if we can find the space for that or see if anyone has a reasonable alternative.
[14:08] <xivulon> the only options are: 1) write an abstraction laywr on top of ctypes to access win32 api/MFC 2) .net (over my dead body) 3) HTA using IE as backend and/or shipping a webkit/gecko to render a gui
[14:09] <evand> What's wrong with .NET, just out of curiosity?
[14:09]  * evand actually likes C#
[14:09] <xivulon> I think it is a great technology but I am ideologically against it, wubi will force many users that do not yet have .net to install .net just to run wubi
[14:10] <evand> The only people without .NET are pre-XP SP1 users, IIRC.
[14:13] <xivulon> is 1 that bad?
[14:14] <xivulon> the abstraction layer is not like rewriting wxwindows. All interface elements I need are labels + buttons + listboxes + text/pwd + progressbar and without layouts
[14:14] <xivulon> that will come to about 2M compressed
[14:15] <evand> It's not bad per-se, I just don't see the point in dealing with the hairiness of MFC when you can use .NET and Windows.Forms.  Personal preference.  If you feel MFC is the best solution, by all means, go with that.
[15:03] <xivulon> evand I think I will rather suffer... but venster should greatly alleviate the pain...
[15:05] <evand> heh, fair enough
[16:05] <ganes> cjwatson, i am not able to boot the live cd if i give the boot= casper
[16:10] <ganes> cjwatson, i am not able to boot the live cd if i give the boot= casper
[16:44] <ganes> cjwatson, i am not able to boot the live cd if i give the boot= casper
[20:18] <tbielawa_> cjwatson, you getting any reports of libntfs-3g failing for unknown reasons?
[20:19] <tbielawa_> i didn't see anything on launchpad for the project
