[01:05] <ptlo> hi; i'm trying to install ubuntu (intrepid nightly) from the usb stick - copied over all the files from alternate install cd, set up boot loader (grub), using the newer cdrom-detect packages as described in bug #234185 comments; install comes pretty far, installs the base system, but then barfs on pkgsel.postint, which calls load-install-cd, which tries to remount cdrom (which i don't have, since i'm using usb), and fails miserably
[01:06] <ptlo> afaics the only difference in my setup (from the situation discussed in that bug) is that i actually don't have a cd-rom drive on the target computer; so anyways, is this known, am i doing something trivially wrong, should i post a new bug, or? any pointers appreciated :)
[02:02] <evand> ptlo: it's known, we're working on a fix
[02:03] <james_w> hey evand
[02:05] <ptlo> evand: ok, thx, if i can help out (by testing proposed solution, or whatever) just say
[02:13] <evand> hi james_w
[02:13] <evand> ptlo: noted, thanks

[13:44] <Elmnas> hi people can someone please help me to fix some erros in iwconfig?
[19:51] <cjwatson> evand: what's happening with those bugs? (I know it's the weekend ...) We need to get ubiquity uploaded tomorrow at the latest
[19:51] <cjwatson> evand: which I assume will be best if the other packages get done first
[19:52] <evand> cjwatson: on them.  I intend to have everything uploaded tonight.
[19:56] <cjwatson> great
[20:23]  * cjwatson eyes bug 285626 suspiciously
[20:23] <cjwatson> ETA 3h 5m on the Kubuntu download though ...
[20:31] <evand> ~1h here
[20:31]  * cjwatson envies evand
[20:31] <cjwatson> bandwidth is not something I have in abundance
[20:33] <evand> 15M/768K here.  I used to have 15/15 but had to switch providers when I moved as it is a different cable market.
[20:33] <cjwatson> I'm too far from the exchange I think
[20:33] <cjwatson> (ADSL)
[20:33] <evand> gah
[20:34] <cjwatson> so I have something embarrassing like 512K/256K
[20:34] <evand> I flat out refuse to go back to DSL (IDSL back when the cable companies didn't offer Internet access)
[20:35] <evand> I dont want to guess how long it takes you to download one of the DVD images or do an update.
[20:37] <cjwatson> jigdo is my friend
[20:37] <cjwatson> it's still not quick but it's less bad than it might be
[20:38] <cjwatson> but it's true I don't do DVD work very often for more or less this reason
[21:07] <evand> cjwatson: I cannot reproduce 285626
[21:09] <cjwatson> maybe it's hardware-specific then
[21:09] <evand> I've asked him to produce some logs
[21:09] <cjwatson> might still be some bit of the Kubuntu session we aren't running :-/
[21:11] <evand> if that's the case it's quite odd that it is only affecting him
[21:11] <cjwatson> well, could be the equivalent of composite vs. non-composite window manager, say
[21:11] <evand> though there is no background set
[21:11] <evand> ah
[21:11] <evand> good point
[21:12] <cjwatson> check what wm the normal session runs? ubiquity-dm starts kwin and then dcopserver --nosid
[21:12] <evand> will do
[21:13] <cjwatson> we might be missing some kind of configuration process before kwin
[21:13] <cjwatson> that kwin then expects to query for data to figure out which mode to start in, or something
[21:14] <cjwatson> thanks for doing this on a Sunday
[21:14]  * evand needs to pick up a KVM.  Moving a usb keyboard between my desktop and a machine installing via d-i is somewhat primative.
[21:14] <evand> no problem.  I normally try to get some work done on the weekends anyway so this is nothing new.
[21:19] <evand> http://evalicious.com/tmp/kubuntu-ps
[21:46] <evand> Nothing in that jumps out at me as needing to be run, and my guess of maybe klauncher caused no change.
