davmor2cjwatson, evand: On today's image ubiquity is crashing is this known or do you want the apport uploading to a bug?10:26
cjwatsonImportError? that's bug 33297810:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 332978 in ubiquity "missing dependency on python-numpy" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33297810:26
cjwatsonevand: why does timezone_map use numpy.array? it seems a pretty heavyweight dependency - it's multiple megabytes added to the live cD10:27
cjwatsonCD10:27
StevenKAh ha. That explains the UNR bug I got this morning.10:27
* StevenK will make that a dupe10:27
davmor2cjwatson: yeap that's the one :)10:27
evandgood timing, I was just going over that bug.  Indeed, I'm going to try to work around that.10:30
cjwatsonI read the code and couldn't understand what it was doing and why it wasn't just a straightforward tuple or list10:31
davmor2cjwatson: I've just done an lvm at 20% and it doesn't seem to like it.  I'll try and get the logs off the system for you10:41
cjwatsonok10:43
cjwatson"at 20%"?10:43
cjwatsonoh, I see10:43
cjwatsoncoffee++10:43
davmor2cjwatson: using the new lvm resizing thingy in d-i10:44
davmor2cjwatson: bugger rescue mode on install doesn't want to know either10:46
* davmor2 moves onto rescue mode on cd10:46
CIA-3ubiquity: cjwatson * r3053 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/hw_detect.py):11:01
CIA-3ubiquity: Hide some excessively detailed progress messages from hw-detect11:01
CIA-3ubiquity: (LP: #91792).11:01
davmor2cjwatson: on an lvm install does /boot contain any logs as /var isn't mounted so it can't write to it?11:04
cjwatson(a) logs don't go to /boot (b) why wouldn't /var be mounted?11:06
cjwatsonI think one of us is confused. Aren't you talking about an error that happens during installation?11:06
davmor2cjwatson: No install seemed to go okay however after reboot it just dies black screen flashing cursor and nothing else11:08
cjwatsonthis could be the udev bug that Keybuk hasn't quite yet figured out11:09
cjwatsonunfortunate that we're doing the testing day at the same time as that :-/11:09
cjwatsonbug 33227011:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 332270 in udev "udev repeatedly generates "change" events for the same block device(s)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33227011:09
davmor2you could always reschedule the testing till after that, maybe11:09
cjwatsonnot my decision11:10
cjwatsonstill, the udev bug needs to be fixed anyway11:10
cjwatsonI suggest taking this to a channel where Keybuk is :-)11:10
cjwatsonit would be good to confirm that this actually is the same issue11:10

cjwatsonevand: sorry to nag, but is the numpy thing going to be fixed today?16:41
evandcjwatson: I'm hoping I can.  I'm trying to find a way around using get_pixel_array.  I'll bump its priority in my workload and focus on it until I have it sorted.16:44
evand(get_pixel_array returns a numpy.ndarray)16:44
cjwatsonah, is that what it is16:44
evandindeed16:45
cjwatsonevand: if it's really needed, please just add a dependency for the moment and keep it as a TODO item; we can't leave people unable to install though16:46
evandcjwatson: will do16:46
cjwatsonthanks16:46
CIA-3ubiquity: evand * r3054 ubiquity/debian/ (changelog control):16:49

steve`rogershi19:03
steve`rogersi can't install my xubuntu 8.10 on my ibook g4 ppc, because cdrom device si not detected, anyone has some idea?19:05
cjwatsonthis is *usually*, although not always, a kernel bug. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection lists the bits we need19:06
steve`rogershi cjwatson, thank you for reply, so i need to change image?19:07
cjwatsonsteve`rogers: err, who knows whether changing image would help. The best approach is to gather the data in the above wiki page so that we can ensure that it gets fixed for later releases19:11
cjwatsonalso, we would need that information in order to be able to advise on possible workarounds19:12
steve`rogersI know that apple is shit.19:14
cjwatsonI'm not particularly interested in blaming vendors; on the face of it, if Ubuntu doesn't work with some piece of hardware, it's Ubuntu's problem19:19
cjwatsonwe would only blame a vendor reluctantly after investigation19:20
steve`rogersyes but today I've noticed so many error in ubuntu image19:20
steve`rogersubuntu 7.10 give me error during installation in APT, "mirror not valid"....19:21
steve`rogersnow xubuntu don't detect cd device...19:21
steve`rogersI'm so sad19:21
cjwatsonplease extract the data requested above and file a bug report19:21
cjwatsonwe can't fix this sort of thing unless we get good bug reports :)19:22
steve`rogersI don't want bore anyone with my problems :(19:22
cjwatsonyou will not bore us19:22
cjwatsonif I thought it would be boring I would not have asked you to file a bug19:22
steve`rogersso you told me this:19:23
steve`rogershttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection19:23
cjwatsonyes; you may need to use a live CD to get at that information (assuming that a live CD works)19:24
steve`rogersargh19:24
cjwatsonif a live CD works, that's actually useful information in itself, so please mention that19:24
steve`rogerslivecd don't works for me19:24
steve`rogersinstallation stop, because don't detect cd19:24
CIA-3ubiquity: evand * r3057 ubiquity/debian/control: Remove python-numpy dependency.19:24
cjwatsonyou can get it using the alternate install CD too (alt-f2, and just drop the 'sudo' bit), but I'm afraid you'll probably have to copy-type the information19:25
cjwatsonor take photos if you have a digital camera, I guess19:25
* cjwatson -> dinner19:25
steve`rogersI'm using alternate image19:25
