CIA-28ubiquity: * Mythbuntu:05:57
CIA-28ubiquity:  - Don't prevent going forward in the UI if the connection test fails.05:57
CIA-28ubiquity:  It's no longer necessary for 9.04 to actually work. (LP: #343432)05:57
mvoa friend of mine just test the 9.04 beta on a system with window already installed and he got: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/tmp/Bildschirmfoto-1.png in the partitioning step. is that intentional that it defaults to "use entire disk" in this case?11:02
cjwatsonmvo: I think that's a bug - "side by side" should be the default if offered11:08
mvocjwatson: do you want me to file it into LP? I guess I should wait until I can make him run it with debug in ubqiuity11:14
cjwatsonyes please11:14
cjwatson(file it; obviously debug output would be good too)11:14
cjwatsonI suspect it is easily reproducible though11:14
CIA-28debian-installer: cjwatson * r1074 ubuntu/debian/changelog: last commit closes LP: #34553411:58
_rubenman .. why is grub causing troubles on a large number of recent deployments .. getting fairly annoying .. installing onto pata flashdisks and also sata disks for storage12:29
_rubenboth hardy and intrepid12:29
CIA-28debian-installer: cjwatson * r1075 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20081029ubuntu2912:37
mvoI'm just testing a usb stick produced with usb-creator. when I try to install wine via apt-get it tells me "no space left on device" is that intentional, i.e. a known limitation  ? I(using the default options in usb-creator)12:37
cjwatsonmvo: Evan's off this week and I'm not sure I know12:38
cjwatsonmight it depend on the amount of space you allocate for persistent data in usb-creator?12:39
mvoI think we selected 128mb (I have a intern doing some testing for me, I need to confirm to be 100% sure)12:39
mvoI will file a bug and just ask evan to close it if its intentional12:39
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3141 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog debian/rules scripts/install.py):13:01
CIA-28ubiquity: Depend on grub | grub-pc, and don't remove grub-pc until after13:01
CIA-28ubiquity: grub-installer has had the chance to decide whether it wants to use it13:01
CIA-28ubiquity: (LP: #349835).13:01
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3142 ubiquity/ (4 files in 2 dirs):13:29
CIA-28ubiquity: Add a compatibility wrapper for update-dev to ensure that it never13:29
CIA-28ubiquity: attempts to call 'udevadm trigger', which isn't necessary in ubiquity13:29
CIA-28ubiquity: and can cause problems (LP: #349937).13:29
cody-somervillecjwatson, btw, ppp-udeb is in main, not universe.13:45
cjwatsoncody-somerville: so it is, but it's Priority: optional and therefore not used by default. If it's being pulled in for you then you must be doing something wrong13:53
cjwatsonnothing depends on it13:53
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3143 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/validation.py):13:54
CIA-28ubiquity: Permit dmraid-style /dev/mapper/* device names in advanced boot loader13:54
CIA-28ubiquity: selector, as well as disk and partition numbers over 9 (LP: #342354).13:54
mvocjwatson: what is the right place in ubiquity to remove stuff that is on the livefs but should not be on the installed system? /var/lib/apt-xapian-index should be removed on install so that it can be re-created freshly with the full sources.list of the installed system13:54
cjwatsonscripts/install.py - is that a directory?13:59
mvoyes13:59
cjwatsonI don't have it on my system13:59
cjwatsonmvo: will it be reindexed automatically or does ubiquity need to run something?14:01
mvocjwatson: it will be re-indexed automatically when the next apt.cron.daily runs (I'm adding this now) or if synaptic detects its missing14:01
mvohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/140714/14:02
cjwatsonoh, I already had a different patch written14:02
mvoI put it in configure_apt14:02
mvoheh :)14:02
mvook14:02
mvowhere did you put it? just out of curiosity14:03
cjwatsonthough I guess it's better in configure_apt than in configure_hardware where I put it14:03
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3144 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py):14:04
CIA-28ubiquity: Remove /target/var/lib/apt-xapian-index per Michael Vogt, since it needs14:04
CIA-28ubiquity: to be rebuilt based on the installed system's sources.list, and apt's14:04
CIA-28ubiquity: cron.daily script and/or synaptic will do this.14:04
mvothanks14:04
* mvo hugs cjwatson14:05
cjwatsonnp14:05
cjwatsonthanks for the apt merge14:07
mvonp14:16
mvoI will upload new apt today, I was just merging some small apt.cron.daily fixes in14:17
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3145 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/partman.py):14:22
CIA-28ubiquity: Preserve ordering of automatic partitioning choices when replacing them14:22
CIA-28ubiquity: with our customised strings (LP: #351547).14:22
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3146 ubiquity/debian/changelog: typo14:35

cjwatsonsuperm1: your revision 2984 broke the indication of language support being missing for any language not on the CD. bug 33774816:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 337748 in ubiquity "[jaunty] ”Incomplete Language Support” message not shown anymore after installation" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33774816:22
cjwatsonsuperm1: I think language-support-* should be treated specially instead16:23
cjwatsonactually, it's more complicated than that, since language-pack-foo might be on the CD while language-support-foo might not be but it might still exist16:24
CIA-28ubiquity: cjwatson * r3149 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.12.016:44
superm1cjwatson, oh man. considering it's more complicated than it first seems, feel free to revert it then and i'll put a workaround back in the factory process for it until a better solution is come up with18:08
cjwatsonI was wondering if there might be something straightforward like extracting the full list of packages that actually exist from the live filesystem's apt cache18:09
cjwatsonI say "straightforward"18:10
cjwatson(actually pain in arse because scripts/install.py configures apt up-front to only use /target)18:10
cjwatsonoh, but the blacklisting code runs before that ... hmm18:10
cjwatsonmaybe then select_language_packs should check whether each package exists and only add it if so18:11
cjwatsonsuperm1: something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/140842/ maybe18:13
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
superm1cjwatson, ill give that a shot, but i'd worry it's going to increase install time by iterating a large list again22:45
CIA-28oem-config: superm1 * r640 oem-config/ (debian/changelog gui/glade/step_language.glade):22:45
CIA-28oem-config: Change the number of columns in the language icon view to 5. This22:45
CIA-28oem-config: should make it fit in 1024x600 or at least very close. (LP: #347350)22:45
cjwatsonsuperm1: wouldn't expect so, checking for existence in the cache should be really quick22:48
cjwatsonoem-config> thanks, that's appreciated22:48
superm1cjwatson, yup np.  it was really bothering me and looked obv to fix22:48
cjwatsonsuperm1: ideally I'd like to figure out how to make the padding less unnecessarily large22:49
cjwatsonsuperm1: but I stared at GtkIconView for ages and couldn't see how to do that22:49
superm1cjwatson, yeah i was thinking the same thing, I figured there should be a lever for it's padding but it wasn't standing out22:49
superm1cjwatson, actually you know what.  that iv_size_req thing: if it's taken out, everything fits in 800x576 perfectly for me23:00
superm1cjwatson, evan said it was a hack to not show scrollbars in the code, but they're not showing anyway for me with it commented out23:01
superm1that's where the extra padding is coming from i think23:01
cjwatsonhuh, odd. Is that producing *internal* padding?23:01
superm1it's producing padding on the iconview23:02
cjwatsoni.e. around each individual label?23:02
superm1ah that; no.23:02
cjwatsonI think if that makes it fit in 800x576, that's good cause to take it out for now23:03
cjwatsonwe have revision control if we need to restore it later23:04
superm1ok i'll commit that too then.23:04
cjwatsoncool, thanks23:05
cjwatsonI was planning an oem-config upload tomorrow23:05
superm1in the process of going thru this, i caught a small crasher that happened going back and forth between pages too.  might want to double check for that before you upload if you can23:06
superm1submitted an apport on it23:06
cjwatsonok23:06
CIA-28oem-config: superm1 * r641 oem-config/ (debian/changelog lib/frontend/gtk_ui.py):23:13
CIA-28oem-config: * Remove old hack in gtk frontend to only show scrollbars on language23:13
CIA-28oem-config: selector when it would be larger than the desktop. With the hack taken23:13
CIA-28oem-config: out, the scrollbars aren't showing up on 800x576, which is likely the23:13
CIA-28oem-config: lowest supportable resolution.23:13
TheMusocjwatson: I think that brltty and no keyboard bug is due to no udev loaded, so no USB keyboard modules loaded. I wonder whether that setup script should be moved to be after udev, assuming that this is possible before usplash loads...23:34
* TheMuso has a look23:34
TheMusoLooks like not.23:35
superm1cjwatson, that ubiquity diff didn't appear to work properly in a test run, i'll think about it more, but feel free to revert the changeset that caused it to come back up if nothing comes up solution wise23:43
