| jarjar | you sleep?? | 10:04 |
| freet15 | hi | 10:11 |
| ogra | lool, do we have a ubuntu mobile blog ? my fingertraining project for this weekend is https://launchpad.net/usb-imagewriter if thats done it would be nice to announce it on planet | 14:22 |
| lool | ogra: We don't have one, perhaps we should | 14:47 |
| lool | ogra: Is this to write MIC images, livecd-rootfs images, or both? | 14:48 |
| ogra | its just a dd frontend | 14:48 |
| ogra | so usable for all images from cdimage | 14:49 |
| lool | Does it write to /dev/sdN or sdN1? | 14:49 |
| ogra | /dev/sdN | 14:49 |
| ogra | it just does dd if=image of=device | 14:50 |
| lool | ogra: Quite nice | 14:50 |
| ogra | just to save users from having to use a terminal :) | 14:50 |
| lool | ogra: Too bad we use the ubuntu-mobile ppa for actual testing of hardy ume updates | 14:50 |
| lool | ogra: For virtual-mobile-builder I packaged it and put it in the project's ppa | 14:50 |
| ogra | well, i think that tool is usable beyond UME ... if it works as i want it i'll just push it to intrepid universe | 14:51 |
| ogra | and probably ask for a hardy backport | 14:51 |
| lool | ogra: I agree, virtual-mobile-builder is in intrepid as well | 14:51 |
| lool | ogra: it's not easy to have the proper set of deps from a hardy base, ubuntu-vm-builder, mic, and vmb have to match | 14:52 |
| lool | Hence the ppa for hardy people | 14:52 |
| lool | Right, a backport would be sufficient here indeed | 14:52 |
| lool | ogra: You might want to set -e find_devices.sh | 14:53 |
| ogra | yeps | 14:53 |
| lool | haha you made the header image yourself? :) | 14:53 |
| lool | Cute :) | 14:53 |
| ogra | actually i want that (and the wrapper script that i'm writing right now ) to be in pythob | 14:53 |
| lool | Ideally the dd part would be in python as well and have some progress indication | 14:54 |
| ogra | well, i'm doing that for fun, not as work ... making eaders is one of the fun elements | 14:54 |
| lool | ogra: I can't agree more! | 14:54 |
| lool | ogra: Will look cool in your blog post too! :) | 14:54 |
| ogra | well, i'm somewhat scared by diong dd in python | 14:54 |
| ogra | dd is safe and proven as tool | 14:54 |
| lool | Why is that? | 14:54 |
| ogra | i actually like to realy on the consistency of proven tools for such stuff | 14:55 |
| lool | It might be but then ultimately it's just open(), seek() and write() mostly, isn't it? There might be tons of exceptional cases handling, but does it really recover from themN | 14:55 |
| lool | *them? | 14:55 |
| ogra | cjwatson also suggested reimlementing in python ... but i'd like to be able to just add dd options later for adjustments etc | 14:56 |
| ogra | right, but you somehow need to parse it through a pipe and count bytes etc | 14:56 |
| ogra | to get the progress output | 14:56 |
| lool | From dd? | 14:56 |
| ogra | since i cant just copare source and target size easily while writing to raw devices | 14:56 |
| lool | You don't want to parse dd's console output; it's ugly to get it and ugly to parse | 14:57 |
| ogra | thats what i do atm | 14:57 |
| ogra | its not that ugly to parse :) | 14:57 |
| ogra | but ugly to get i admit | 14:57 |
| lool | You parse dd progress output? | 14:57 |
| lool | Hmm I don't see the signalling | 14:57 |
| ogra | sending USR1 in a 1sec frequency to it to trigger output | 14:57 |
| lool | I've grepped for that and didn't find the signal sending | 14:57 |
| ogra | thats in the script i'm just writing, not in the branch yet | 14:58 |
| lool | Ahhh | 14:58 |
| lool | ok | 14:58 |
| lool | I checked for this immediately after checking you were using dd | 14:58 |
| lool | I have to go drive my wife to some shopping | 14:58 |
| lool | See you later | 14:58 |
| ogra | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25434/ | 14:58 |
| ogra | yep, ciao :) | 14:58 |
| lool | ogra: Do you know how the QA people got their infrastructure and all? | 14:58 |
| ogra | stgraber might be able to tell you ... he wrote a lot of that | 14:59 |
| ogra | (and runs the isotracker and other tools) | 14:59 |
| lool | Wow you wrapper is really ugly | 14:59 |
| ogra | heh | 14:59 |
| ogra | yeah | 14:59 |
| lool | pkilling all dds | 14:59 |
| ogra | its the quick hack to make it workable for a start | 15:00 |
| ogra | i want the pkill part in the python code later | 15:00 |
| lool | I'd love us to have some mobile.u.c infrastructure to host QA, polls and that kind of stuff; it's hard to come up with a non-transversal use case thopuhg | 15:00 |
| ogra | but i want something thats usable by tonight and dont want to put much more time into it :) | 15:00 |
| lool | For instance if you consider blogs, well sure we could set this up, but it would make more sense to have a platform to host all team's blogs, or use launchpad | 15:01 |
| ogra | then announce it on the ML and see who picks it up to make it nicer :) | 15:01 |
| lool | Same for websites, for QA tests etc. | 15:01 |
| lool | ogra: Go ahead and announce it publicly! \o/ | 15:01 |
| ogra | as soon as it works ad i have a package :) | 15:01 |
| lool | ogra: When mvo pushed the first vmbs it inspired me to jump in and fix things which I wanted to improve | 15:01 |
| ogra | announcing working tools is usually better to attrackt devs | 15:01 |
| lool | yeah | 15:02 |
| lool | I didn't want to tell people about the mobile builder in the beginning because it wasn't using MIC | 15:02 |
| ogra | (better than just non working code) | 15:02 |
| lool | Wasn't pulling from ppa, that kind of things | 15:02 |
| ogra | well, as long as you dont announce it as *the* MIC replacement :) | 15:02 |
| lool | What? the tool to write images? | 15:03 |
| lool | We have time for this | 15:03 |
| lool | We don't even build dailies ATM | 15:03 |
| ogra | no i meant your mobile builder | 15:03 |
| ogra | as long as you dont say its *the* replacement for MIC but just announce it as another tool to build images nobody can complain :) | 15:04 |
| lool | vmb is *only* for vms | 15:04 |
| ogra | ah | 15:05 |
| lool | MIC never did that and it's not meant to replace it | 15:05 |
| lool | virtual-mobile-builder | 15:05 |
| * lool really goes now | 15:05 | |
