| cjwatson | well, it might be if other folks are seeing it | 00:27 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i'll gather for you though | 00:27 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: yeah, i'm just doing some daily iso testing ;-) | 00:27 |
| cjwatson | oh, I should update partman-auto-loop for ext4, I notice | 00:27 |

| xivulon_ | cjwatson I guess this is due to autopartition-loop, will have a quick go myself at it | 00:28 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: syslog and partman | 00:28 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: sure | 00:29 |
| cjwatson | xivulon_: odd, I can't imagine how that would fire if there weren't really any images | 00:29 |

| cjwatson | you might want to set -x it to see exactly what's going on | 00:30 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: what should I file the LP bug against? | 00:31 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity | 00:31 |
| * kirkland always gets it wrong :-) | 00:31 | |
| cjwatson | alternate => debian-installer, desktop => ubiquity | 00:31 |
| cjwatson | as a rule of thumb | 00:31 |
| xivulon_ | already done that (-x) | 00:32 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: ah, i usually file this sort of thing against partman | 00:32 |
| cjwatson | oh, you can do that but TBH it is tricky to figure out which partman component is involved without code inspection | 00:32 |
| cjwatson | I get it wrong on a regular basis | 00:32 |
| cjwatson | (I'd rather partman were just one big component really, but it wasn't my idea and it's pain to merge them) | 00:33 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: that's the part i meant i always get wrong :-) | 00:36 |

| cjwatson | davmor2: I didn't mention it here, but I figured out the problem | 13:42 |
| cjwatson | new parted upload is working its way through | 13:42 |
| cjwatson | will have affected both d-i and ubiquity, I'm afraid, probably pretty much hosing all partitioning :-( | 13:43 |
| davmor2 | :( | 13:43 |
| davmor2 | never mind give me something to do any ideas on when the new images will be up? | 13:44 |

| cjwatson | slangasek is already going to hurt me, I'm sure | 13:47 |
| cjwatson | since it was due to a patch I shoved through at short notice for wubi | 13:48 |

| davmor2 | especially as the release date has been pushed back a day already :( | 14:32 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: on a plus side most of the apps have been tested now so it's only the installer | 14:38 |

| xivulon | cjwatson left you some logs yesterday night, not sure if you noticed, doesn't look to different from previous one | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | xivulon: I thought you said the problem was solved - anyway there was a parted bug I created by trying to fix your previous issue | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | so that could easily be it | 14:51 |
| xivulon | will today iso include all relevant fixes? | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | I'm about to rebuild | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | today's is broken | 14:52 |
| xivulon | good I will test tonight | 14:52 |
| xivulon | thanks for the patches | 14:52 |
| xivulon | reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDSJaunty/Report/Foundations it seems that grub2 will happen for jaunty, my understanding of what happened at UDS (I missed that track) was quite different | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | it doesn't say that at all | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | it's in a section marked "These features involve development or other actions by the community, and thus we cannot guarantee their implementation within this release cycle" | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | not at all definite | 15:05 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 317068 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_user()" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/317068 | 15:26 |
| superm1 | xivulon, grub2 was supposed to be added as an option into the installer (and preseedable) so more feedback could be gathered on it this cycle from what I recall in discussions | 15:27 |
| tjaalton | I'd be willing to test it, and make it available | 15:29 |
| cjwatson | I think somebody needs to get its update-grub equivalent up to par with our Ubuntu modifications to grub first | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | and in general check all our modifications over - which will be a fairly long job unfortunately | 15:30 |
| tjaalton | hmm :) | 15:30 |
| tjaalton | I'll poke it next week | 15:30 |
| tjaalton | oh, that's not a part of the installer.. what does d-i need in order to be able to use it? | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | grub-installer already has basically the relevant code | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | Debian did that | 15:33 |
| tjaalton | right | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | although we've temporarily disabled it until such time as we actually want to use it | 15:33 |
| tjaalton | and what about the gtk+ frontend? | 15:33 |
| evand | cjwatson: ok; thanks | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | tjaalton: no progress since you last asked | 15:34 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, who wrote a majority of the update-grub modifications? perhaps since they are best versed upon what was changed they should be the one who opts to poke it? I added a few things in it in hardy at some point to bring it closer, but i'm sure there is still a lot missing | 15:34 |
| tjaalton | cjwatson: heh ok | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | superm1: err, a cast of thousands^Wseveral | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | no matter who does it it'll be a matter of painstakingly going through the diff | 15:34 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, ah... | 15:34 |
| tjaalton | heh, debdiff is 12k lines :) | 15:39 |
| tjaalton | of the package, update-grub alone is ~1000 lines | 15:43 |
| superm1 | well update-grub would be the only thing that needed updating though. | 15:52 |
| CIA-3 | oem-config: cjwatson * r577 trunk/debian/ (changelog oem-config-udeb.postinst): Suppress user-setup's encrypted home directory question in OEM mode. | 15:54 |
| tjaalton | I see slangasek on the list of update-grub contributors :) | 15:59 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, why suppress that question in OEM mode? Shouldn't users of preinstalled systems be able to have the same question presented? | 16:01 |
| xivulon | had a couple of patches in the update-grub related to wubi, but if grub2 supports loop mounting and vfat/ntfs they might not need to be ported | 16:02 |
| xivulon | I can play with that once I can get the installation to complete | 16:03 |
| cjwatson | superm1: the suppression is in the first stage; I haven't yet got round to *adding* the question to the second stage but I agree that that makes sense | 16:03 |
| cjwatson | superm1: i.e. it doesn't make sense for the OEM customisation user to have an encrypted home directory | 16:03 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, oh okay :) | 16:22 |

| cjwatson | evand: just looking at the oem-config language screen - would it be worth sorting the languages down then right, rather than right then down? so: | 21:41 |
| cjwatson | A D G A B C | 21:41 |
| cjwatson | B E H rather than D E F | 21:41 |
| cjwatson | C F I G H I | 21:41 |
| cjwatson | I find it rather hard to read at the moment and am wondering if that's why - FWIW the gfxboot language screen is sorted the first way | 21:42 |
| cjwatson | I think people are typically used to reading right then down for flowing text, but down then right for columns (compare newspaper layout) | 21:43 |
| evand | cjwatson: sure, I'm not tied to either way | 21:45 |
