| CIA-3 | ubiquity: Stop taking account of progress bar cancellation in the implementation | 16:50 |
| CIA-3 | ubiquity: of the PROGRESS START and PROGRESS STOP commands; neither cdebconf nor | 16:50 |
| CIA-3 | ubiquity: debconf does so and thus confmodules don't expect it (LP: #313259). | 16:50 |
| CIA-3 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r2998 ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py: also make sure KDE progress dialog is reset (thereby resetting cancelled state) on progress_stop | 16:56 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, i wanted to ask you if you had any better ideas than that Timer hack that I put together to try to skip pages based on earlier selections in mythbuntu_ui? | 16:57 |
| superm1 | on fast systems it seems that it's really racey, but I haven't been able to come up with a better way to do it | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | redmage123: it's the weekend, mailing ubuntu-installer@lists.ubuntu.com would probably be better than asking if anyone's around every hour or two :) | 17:08 |
| cjwatson | superm1: I don't see anything matching "Timer" in mythbuntu_ui - can you give me a reference? | 17:09 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, ah sorry i wasn't sure if you had watched the commits i've done. look at components/mythbuntu.py | 17:09 |
| superm1 | i'm making a "fake" page that sets a short timer to go off and mark the page as completed | 17:10 |
| superm1 | and then in mythbuntu_ui I set the dbfilter to that page skipper with the intent that the timer automatically advances pages when asked to | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | sounds pretty awful | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | surely something more like the automation stuff would be better | 17:12 |
| superm1 | well the problem was i didn't want to apply the automation stuff to everything | 17:12 |
| superm1 | just on a few of the pages | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | i.e. don't show the page if there are no questions to ask on it | 17:13 |
| superm1 | well that's the thing, the questions should still be getting asked | 17:13 |
| superm1 | I just want the answers as currently set to be used | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | asked via debconf protocol != asked to user | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | anyway, I'm not going to work this out on a Saturday I'm afraid, not when I've been away from family for a week ;-) | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | ask me on Monday and I'll look at it | 17:14 |
| superm1 | sure, i wasn't meaning to pull you away for a while, just wondering if you had ideas off hand. have a good weekend :) | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | the commits above were just catching up on a bit of mail and such | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | I suspect that embracing-and-extending the automation logic is the best path to something sane, at least | 17:15 |
| superm1 | okay. i'll try to think about it some more looking for a method to do so | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | wow, I never realised there was so much weird stuff in the mythbuntu frontend | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | we definitely need to refactor some of it or it is practically guaranteed to be broken at some point :-/ | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | (the inspect.stack stuff) | 17:17 |
| superm1 | i've been working on refactoring a lot of it to try to prevent future breakage, but it's always a little bit at a time | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | yeah, understood | 17:17 |
