tjaaltoncjwatson: success :) lvm->regular->lvm installation goes fine now08:07
davmor2tjaalton: is that on server08:07
tjaaltondavmor2: netboot, but yes08:07
davmor2cool the fix went through Yay08:08
tjaaltonnew partman-lvm08:08
tjaaltonnow I can test lvm on top of multipath..08:08
davmor2should be in Ubuntu today as well after the re-bloody-spin :(08:08
davmor2tjaalton: can you do an lvm encrypted over the top of an existing lvm install?08:09
tjaaltondavmor2: haven't tried, and not exactly useful here08:09
davmor2tjaalton: Np's just thought I'd ask I'll try 1 later after I've reblitzed Ubuntu08:10

evandvery doubtful, the alpha release is today09:24
evandand I don't think it's the kind of thing they'd respin CDs for in the 11th hour09:24
ago_just in case there is a respin for some other reason...09:25
ago_by the way we would need a torrent set up at some stage to test bt09:26
davmor2evand: Is there like a wubi dev section so I can get signed up to all the wubi bugs so I can test against them for confirmations?09:28
evanddev section?09:29
davmor2evand: Well so you get auto subscribed to bugs :)  Normally happens to people who are devs for that package :)09:31

CIA-3wubi: evand * r91 wubi.trunk/ (debian/changelog po/wubi.pot): Fixed a typo in the translation template.10:02
davmor2evand: is there a plan to add the password strength meter to wubi?10:05
evanddavmor2: hrm, sounds like a good idea to me for Karmic.  Please file a wishlist bug.10:06
davmor2evand: I can't set that I'll do a bug though :)10:06

davmor2evand: also oem end user doesn't include it but oem user does which seems a bit backwards10:13
evandCan you rephrase that question, I don't follow.  Both ubiquity and oem-config support the weak password warning.10:16
davmor2evand: Right so oem user installing via ubiquity has the password strength.  Oem enduser I typed in a 7 letter password and it went through I can recheck with oem on alternate after for you.10:20
evandcjwatson_: any objection to me starting to move conversations regarding Wubi from private mails between myself and Ago to ubuntu-installer@?  My thought is that it would take Wubi development out of the dark and possibly encourage some more people to contribute.  Of course I'm happy to leave things as is if you think it's unnecessary noise on the list.10:21
evanddavmor2: So to clarify, you typed a seven letter password on the user setup page in oem-config and it let you straight through?10:23
davmor2yes10:23

tjaaltonlvm on multipath doesn't seem to work, but it's not that important right now :)12:27
davmor2evand: Is there a utc added to the ubiquity install now?  If not can there be?12:41
evanddavmor2: it's too late for Jaunty, we can discuss it for Karmic though12:46
davmor2cool :)12:47
cjwatsonisn't the option available in the advanced dialog?12:57
cjwatsonif what you mean is "the ability to install a system and keep the hardware clock in UTC rather than local time"12:57
cjwatsonoh, I suppose you might mean "install a system with the system clock in UTC"12:57
davmor2cjwatson: It was something that cgregan asked about.   He has loads of meetings world wide and in the end resorted to finding an african city that didn't have summer time13:01
cjwatsonah13:12
davmor2cjwatson: you can't add UTC to panel clock either so it's kind of a double fault I feel :)13:15
evandshtylman: the kde_ui.py code in your branch is broken.  It tries to add elements to the bar before it exists and even after fixing that, doesn't create bars for the manual partitioning and resize options.13:18
ScixWhy won't applications in the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta package install when using preseeding? d-i pkgsel/include string ubuntu-restriced-extras.13:51
evandbecause that package is not in main13:52
davmor2Scix: Most of the packages are universe and mulitverse not main and restricted13:53
davmor2beat me to it13:53
ScixBut when i manually ads the packages to this list, they are installed?13:54
Scixi tell mirror/udeb/components to use main, multiverse, restriced and universe13:55

CIA-3ubiquity: advanced page (LP: #334826).13:56
cjwatsonScix: mirror/udeb/components is irrelevant because ubuntu-restricted-extras is not a udeb. In any case you shouldn't have to do that13:59
cjwatsonScix: what version of Ubuntu are you installing? I thought we fixed this problem in hardy13:59
Scixim installing intrepid13:59
cjwatsonScix: I'd like to see logs; the final sources.list is moved into place before processing pkgsel/include so this ought to work14:00
Scixcjwatson: i have a test installation running now. you can have the log when it's done14:01
Scixcjwatson, you can see the syslog from the installation at http://dev.sovetid.com/syslog14:31
Scixbut i have another more serious problem. How can i enable restricted driver modules by script? I installed linux-restriced-modules and xorg-driver-fglrx, but the driver did non get activated14:32
Scixthis is crusal, sense i have 200 computers that this has to be done automatically14:33
cjwatsonyou'd have to ask pitti that14:33
cjwatsonI think there is some way but I don't know the details14:33
Scixcjwatson, pitti?14:34

davmor2evand: the map on dvd is well out, has it not received on of the updates?15:57
cjwatsonmdz: should be resolved now15:57
cjwatsonmdz: unless you have reports of it happening on today's images15:57
cjwatsonmdz: (it's one of many reports, which is why the status is not up to date)15:57
evanddavmor2: no, I haven't released that version of ubiquity yet as we're in freeze for the alpha.15:57
cjwatsonmdz: it was due to race conditions between udev and the partitioner, exacerbated by the recent addition of inotify watches on devices in udevd generating change events15:58
cjwatsonmdz: earlier this week, Scott took time out from other work at my request to fix udevadm settle to wait for all inotify activity to complete15:58
davmor2evand: Okay.  It's just on cd london was somewhere near england but on dvd it's about a 2 minute walk from Barcelona :)15:59
cjwatsonmdz: and I added a bunch more locking to the partitioner; testers have reported that this has cleared up the observable problems for them15:59
mdzcjwatson: thanks16:00
mdzcjwatson: can you give me the master bug number?16:00
