davmor2evand: Morning did you get my note about kubuntu and the grey bar in the partitioner?11:17
evanddavmor2: Indeed, I replied with this:11:18
evand<evand> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/336755 - can you just add a note in there to remember to address it in the kde frontend as well?  Thanks!11:18
ubottuUbuntu bug 336755 in ubiquity ""Specify partitions manually (advanced)" is displayed as if it's a partition type" [Low,Confirmed]11:18
davmor2cool missed it :)11:18
davmor2evand done :)11:23
evandthanks11:23
loolHi folks; the ARM people would like a neon + vfp build of ffmpeg; I'm not sure we can handle that via hwcaps like the other libs, so I had in mind to do it via separate packages; ffmpeg-debian has special shlibs which allow alternate versions of the libs to be installed12:37
loolThe problem is that, just like libc, this is only useful if the installers install the alternate version on hardware supporting it12:37
loolWill this be possible and does it make sense?12:37
cjwatsonffmpeg isn't typically installed at initial installation time, though12:41
cjwatsonit's installed later by any of a variety of apt frontends12:42
cjwatsonyou would have to educate them all12:42
cjwatsonthis is precisely the problem with extending the separate-package idea beyond libc12:42
cjwatsondo the extra objects conflict at the file level?12:43
CIA-3ubiquity: evand * r3079 ubiquity/ (69 files in 6 dirs):12:59
CIA-3ubiquity: Incorporate the final time zone map artwork. Support some12:59
CIA-3ubiquity: additional time zones on the map.12:59
CIA-3ubiquity: evand * r3080 ubiquity/ (pixmaps/timezone/timezone_-9.5.png ubiquity/timezone_map.py): Forgot Marquesas.13:06
cjwatsonevand: bug 292159 ping14:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 292159 in linux "MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29215914:22
evandindeed, in process.  I'm working on it as much as I can but this week was a bit difficult due to the impending freeze.  I am making progress though, and am just slowed by a kernel panic with the new initramfs.14:26
evandcjwatson: ^14:26
cjwatsonthanks14:26
cjwatsonevand: kernel panic with everyone's new initramfs or just yours? :)14:27
evandwhatever the latest intrepid kernel is, though I'm sure it extends beyond that14:27
evandI'm sure I'm doing something slightly wonky though14:27
cjwatsonany reason not to develop it on jaunty?14:28
evandmy jaunty CDs were too new when I was testing :)14:28
evandI will test the code with Jaunty though14:28
evandand I already had intrepid on the USB disk large enough to handle a new kernel14:29
cjwatsonlool: ^- just checking that you did see my comments on ffmpeg above15:32
loolcjwatson: Yes, it's basically alternate libavcodec and all which we would like to provide15:32
cjwatsonI don't know of any way to do that short of profoundly evil special-casing in apt and quite probably several frontends too15:33
cjwatsonwhy isn't it hwcappable?15:33
cjwatsonI thought I saw a patch from Catalin to handle NEON in hwcap a while back ...15:35
cjwatsonevand: (relayed from #ubuntu-meeting) do shout if you need kernel team help with that panic15:55
evandcjwatson: noted; thanks15:55
=== ubott2 is now known as ubottu
CIA-3oem-config: evand * r628 oem-config/ (debian/changelog oem-config): Add missing errno import.16:52
cjwatsongood catch16:53
CIA-3oem-config: evand * r629 oem-config/ (45 files in 6 dirs): Merge in the new timezone widget from ubiquity (LP: #335557).16:53
evandthanks16:54
evandI really need to shove the map in an AspectFrame.  I'll have to take care of that on Monday though.16:54
kirklanddoes anyone know for sure if usb-creator works with server-iso's?18:12
kirklandor alternate-iso's for that matter?18:12
kirklandbummer, evand has left18:13
* kirkland liked it better when he was UTC-5 :-)18:13
davmor2kirkland: I don't know about jaunty but I created a usb of intrepid that was alternate I click on the wrong image :)18:34
davmor2I can try one for you now if you like though18:35
superm1davmor2, could you see if they work?  if so, i think that's the only way i can work with a server image right now since they're oversized..18:36
davmor2superm1: np's it'll take a few minutes18:37
superm1thanks davmor218:37
davmor2superm1: what os are you using to create it intrepid or jaunty?18:37
superm1jaunty dailies18:38
davmor2superm1: So ubuntu desktop daily to create the ubuntu server daily correct?18:38
superm1davmor2, well using usb-creator in jaunty to create a usb-key of ubuntu-server daily jaunty18:39
davmor2Yes cool just so I can test in a similar environment :)18:39
superm1if it works then it's still worthwhile downloading the server iso, otherwise i'll just have to wait until they're not oversized i guess18:40
davmor2superm1: 50% of transfer done shouldn't be long19:10
davmor2superm1: It's crashing here I wouldn't bother till it fits :)19:14
superm1davmor2, okay  thanks!19:15
