[16:50] <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).
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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?
[16:58] <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
[17:08] <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 :)
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <superm1> i'm making a "fake" page that sets a short timer to go off and mark the page as completed
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <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 :)
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <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 :-/
[17:17] <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
