davmor2Morning evand10:02
evandhello10:02
davmor2r108 still doesn't uninstall :(10:02
evanddavmor2: can you try r115 from http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/wubi/jaunty10:03
davmor2evand: what version is on the current cds?10:04
evandoh, right10:04
evandwhy do I keep forgetting that10:04
evandnevermind10:04
evandwaiting on the release team to approve r115 which xivulon thinks will fix the bug10:04
davmor2evand: It might of been 115 I try on friday then hang on10:05
evandit's not on the CDs yet10:05
davmor2no it was 108 I tried10:06
davmor2115 I can add as it does effect the rest of the cd :)10:06
davmor2I just use isomaster rename wubi-r115.exe to wubi.exe remove the one from the iso and drop the new one in :)10:07
davmor2evand: I'm just refreshing vista then I'm trying 115 on cd10:30
evandneat, I wasn't aware of quoting the delimiter in here-documents.  I really need to give the specification a more thorough read.10:43
evandThanks cjwatson for that and the rest of the fixes you uploaded in my absence over the past week.  Very much appreciated.10:44
cjwatsonno worries, was a bit of a busy week ;-)10:45
evandheh, indeed.  I noticed the massive changelogs for ubiquity and others.10:46
davmor2cjwatson:  ubiquity is a much nicer size now that it isn't in mini mode :)10:50
davmor2and London is in the southeast Yay10:50
cjwatsonthere are still a few fairly significant problems. The ones on my list at the moment are bug 351987, bug 339898, bug 353090, and bug 35453410:51

evands/better/better looking/10:53
davmor2evand: what wrong with the current one it is far more obvious than the older one10:54
evanddavmor2: it uses just a black box to indicate the handle10:54
cjwatsondavmor2: 339898> I believe I just mentioned that right above10:54
davmor2cjwatson: yes I was just saying it is still in effect on today's iso10:55
evandincidentally today's ISO has a fairly out of date livefs.  That's not implying any bugs are fixed in a newer version though.10:56
davmor2evand: :(10:56
evanderr nevermind, that's only for amd6410:57
davmor2:) I used 32bit10:57
davmor2evand: right r115 install just complete cd eject fix still works I'll try uninstall now10:57
davmor2evand: the naming issue is still in effect (fusa still lists davmor2 even though tester is the username)11:00
evandindeed, I don't think anyone has tackled that one yet11:00
davmor2evand: I think xivulon put a fix on the bug to remind himself iirc but wanted to concentrate on uninstall and cd fix11:01
evandok11:01
davmor2I think it's goning to use fullname rather than username from windows (if that makes sense while I look for the bug)11:02
davmor2evand: 115 threw up:  Internal Error   Error deleting directory11:05
evanddavmor2: please update the bug with new log files11:05
davmor2evand: will do11:05
ogracjwatson, so m last remaining prob i had to work around with ubiquity installs yesterday was that i end up with casper/filesystem.kernel-imx51 instead of casper/vmlinuz on the armel iso, i couldnt find where in cdimage the renaming happens, do you have a pointer for me ?11:07

cjwatsonsorry, panicked for a second :)11:08
evandindeed, though hrm, we seem to be missing the image for UTC+5.511:10
ograah, thats debian-cd ... that makes it somewhat clear why i didnt find it in my srv/cdimage... checkout11:11

evanddavmor2: thanks11:17
davmor2evand: That's weird looking at the system and the log it seems to of been successful :(11:19
persiaogra, I'd probably stick it in tools/vfat2sd or some such.11:19
ograpersia, i'm not sure it actually belongs in debian-cd11:19
ograwe used to keep the wrapper scripts in cdimage before11:20
ograbut then adding redboot wouldnt makes sense in the debian-cd tree though11:20
ogra*make11:20
* ogra really wonders where it would fit best11:21
cjwatsonogra: redboot> well, that's what I was trying to say before ;-)11:33
cjwatsonogra: vfat conversion is done by tools/make-vfat-img in debian-cd11:34
cjwatson(at the moment, for other vfat targets)11:34
* ogra goes to take a look 11:34
cjwatsonevand: can we not use the jaunty-beta branch?11:34
ograthe prob is that i need the special partitioning that leaves 20M spare space before the first partition starts11:34
cjwatsonI don't think there's any reason to do so - we can use trunk11:35
ograhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/145325/ btw ...11:35
persiaogra, Are you sure you don't want that in tools/boot/jaunty/boot-armel+imx51 ?11:37
ograpersia, well, for jaunty it suffices, we dont support any other subarch for livefs builds11:37
persiaI guess.  I just like to be tidy.11:38
* ogra scratches haed about "/sbin/mkdosfs -C $outfile $size" ... does that mean i used dd since forever for no reason to create vfat images ??11:39
evandcjwatson: sure thing, I thought you had switched to just using jaunty-beta for the time being and was trying to mimic that behavior.11:39
evandnoted though11:39
ograoh man11:39
cjwatsonevand: usually I've just used that kind of branch for really deep-freeze periods11:40
persiaogra, Oh, and if you do the other bit, that would probably be in tools/boot/jaunty/post-boot-armel+imx51 for the fconfig stuff (if you're doing it in debian-cd).11:42
ograpersia, right, the closer i look at debian-cd the more i agree we should add everything there11:43
ograthe code sacesme in its cleanness ...11:43
ogra*scares me11:43
evandok11:44
cjwatsonogra: *sigh*11:45
ogracjwatson, ?11:46
cjwatsonogra: oh, hang on, are you saying it's clean, or being sarcastic?11:46
cjwatsonsorry, I think I misread :)11:46
ograheh11:46
ograno, no sarcasm here11:46
cjwatsonah, ok. most people complain about debian-cd so I guess I had a hardwired expectation :)11:46
ograit just shows me how much i miss in my knowledge11:47
persiadebian-cd is fiendishly complex, but very well organised for what it needs to do.11:47
ogra/sbin/mkdosfs -C $outfile $size <- is so trivial ... i'm creating vfat images since years and never discovered it11:47
ograstuff like that is scattered all over11:48
cjwatsonI'm not sure that post-boot-* is currently applied to vfat images12:14
cjwatsonrather, I think it might be currently applied to the ISO image before conversion to vfat, which may not be very helpful12:15
persiacjwatson, It is: the syslinux call lives there.12:15
cjwatsonah, yes, you're right. Good.12:15
persiaMy thought that was for images that belonged on SD cards, we probably didn't want the syslinux call, and would instead do whatever magic is required for the desired format.12:16
cjwatsonyes12:18

xivulonit's not clear from your post whether you wanted to report some issues or confirm that everything is ok13:34
xivuloncjwatson, I edited those c files, for the leak, actually str.c>concat function had the cleanup code so that was ok13:35
davmor2xivulon: I got an error sorry 115 threw up:  Internal Error   Error deleting directory13:46
davmor2but the directory seems to be removed so not sure why13:47
loologra, cjwatson, persia: Hmm it's unfortunate I missed the discussion here13:49
loologra: I discussed this with cjwatson last week and today, and want to share a couple of things13:52
loolFirst cjwatson advised using vfat images + boot-armel; this is what I've enabled in the commits merged friday and I pursued this today; you can check antimony:~lool/cdimage for the next ones13:53
loolThen I asked about using a subarch instead of armel, i.e. armel+imx51, but cjwatson said we should simply use armel this cycle and revisit the subarch thing for the next one13:53
loolThe immediate problem I've hit with the SUBARCH approach is that the live contents wasn't at the proper URL13:54
persialool, Did you compare to the powerpc+ps3 scripts?13:54
loolYes13:55
loolpersia: If cjwatson tells me we don't want a SUBARCH yet, I'll just take his word for it13:56
loolI'm happy that we can help each other on this topic, but I fear we're duplicating work or stepping on each others' toes here   :6/13:56
lool:-/13:56
loolBlah it's not even per flavour, it's per board13:57
persiaI'm just commenting :)13:57
ogralool, sorry, my machine crashed13:57
xivulondavmor2, can you try with a clean installation? might be due to a previous version uninstaller being run13:57
xivulondoes usb-creator extract the files from the ISO or does it copy the ISO itself?13:58
persiaxivulon, Extract the contents13:59
davmor2xivulon: that was a clean install14:00
davmor2xivulon: But I'll do a fresh install of vista might take all day though :)14:01
ogralool, wrt subarc, currently the livefs contains the imx51 kernel anyway, so we would need a subarch setting in livecd-rootfs as well14:03
ograwhich would then end up in the right location again but have differeently called files14:03
xivulondavmor2, please make it clear in the bug report, I will investigate it tonight14:04
davmor2xivulon: Will do although I'm going to do a clean install and updates and see if there is something lingering still before I do14:05
cjwatsonlool: not so much "don't want", but I think it's not worth the work14:05
cjwatson(subarch)14:05
cjwatsonsuperm1: oh, wow, I found out why grub2 is breaking14:05
ogracjwatson, well, we're very likely to get more armel subarches at least for live images in KK14:06
cjwatsonsuperm1: when the grub package is removed, it calls db_purge (as is usual); this ends up accidentally purging all templates owned by ubiquity14:06
cjwatsonogra: right, absolutely for karmic, I was just talking about jaunty14:06
xivulonif usb creator extracts the files, fixin #299001 is blocked by #24310514:09
xivuloncjwatson is #243105 fixed by any chance? I doubt it would have been tested though.14:10
xivulonhi evand14:10
xivulonwas discussing 29900114:10
xivulonevand you might want to remove the if block in pylaucher.c line 109, as the ! is wrong and the warning is unneded anyway14:12
cjwatsonxivulon: sorry, no, at least not by me. I don't think I'm likely to get to this, certainly not for jaunty14:12
xivulonevand pylauncher.c, line 81-84, replace with: delete_directory(targetdir);14:14
xivuloncjwatson, np. evand, fyi #299001 is blocked by #2431014:15
xivulon514:15
xivulonyou might also want to fix a typo in 35592814:15
CIA-28wubi: evand * r116 trunk/ (debian/changelog src/pylauncher/pylauncher.c): Properly test the return value of delete_directory.14:18
loolActually we don't need boot-armel, only post-boot-armel14:19
loolHmm sorry, we do need it for the casper kernel copy14:20
persiaWell, both is good.  boot-armel+imx51 places the right kernel, and post-boot-armel+imx51 would stuff things in the right spots for redboot.14:21
xivulonevand no need to test the result of delete_directory at all, it's not a critical error will simply leave a folder in the temp directory, I had the test in for debugging purposes mostly14:21
persiaRight.14:21
xivulonjust delete the temp directory and take no action on errors14:21
xivulonevand, thx for the fix by the way14:30
ograpersia, the prob is, where do we create the special partitioned image14:30
ograpost-boot-armel+imx51 only makes sense on the image where we have the special partitioning ... and append the vfat at the end14:31
persiaogra, Hrm.  Depends on whether it's a new type of image (SD) or just a different way to package a VFAT.14:32
persiaIn the latter case, I'd suggest that creating the SD image from the vfat would be a post-boot action.  In the former case, you probably have to special-case Makefile, which is harder.14:33
ograwe need: a blank image with 20M spare space at the beginning and a part. table (which means we need to know the size of the vfat at this point)14:33
ograthen we need to add the bootloader, kernel, initramfs and redboot config to the 20M14:33
ograthen we dd the vfat to the end of that14:33
persiaRight, and I don't think we actually know the vfat size until post-boot.14:34
ograwe do know the vfat size right after we called tools/make-vfat-img14:34
persiaExcept aren't we going to stuff a kernel into it in boot?14:35
ograno14:35
ograthe kernel needs to be in casper14:35
ograand casper only14:35
ogranot boot14:35
ograoh, you mean boot-armel14:36
* ogra thought /boot ... sorry14:36
persiaRIght.14:36
persiaI should have said boot-* and post-boot-*14:36
ograso, boot would call tools/make-vfat-img at the end ...14:36
persiaNo.14:37
ograpost-boot gets the size and the vfat location as args and calls make-sd-img which creates the empty partitioned image14:37
persiaSo, you can define an image type to be VFAT.14:37
persiaSo you create a VFAT image of armel+imx5114:38
persiaThen, in boot-armel+imx51, you add the right kernel14:38
persiaThen, in post-boot-armel+imx51, you stuff that vfat into the SD image.14:38
superm1cjwatson, wow that's quite a find.  why are the ubiquity owned templates getting cleared though when purging the 'grub' package?  shouldn't only grub templates be cleared then?14:38
ograpersia, we need the kernel twice14:38
ograonce to stuff it into the vfat and once to put it into redboot14:39
persiaRIght, once in boot-armel+imx51 and once in post-boot-armel+imx5114:39
loologra: It's not clear to me whether you're picking this up or whether I should continue what I was working on14:39
ograand by the looks of it that happens in two different places14:39
ogralool, what do you like to do ?14:39
ograi told you last week that i will focus on it this complete week14:40
ograbut if you want to keep it, keep it and i'll start digging in gnome-keyring14:40
loolI'm in the middle of writing the boot- / post-boot- stuff, so since I had to learn all this stuff I prefer continuing14:40
ogralool, i'm at least familiar with my script already14:40
loolWell I kind of know what the script does *cough*14:41
ograright14:41
cjwatsonsuperm1: normally speaking grub.postrm would be talking to a normal debconf frontend which knows that the relevant "owner" is grub. However, in the case of ubiquity, there's a single top-level debconf frontend whose owner is ubiquity, and all debconf activity is proxied through to that14:42
cjwatsonanyway, it's an easy fix - just trying to confirm whether the rest of it works after that14:42
superm1cjwatson, ah i see.14:42

xivulonevand it might be good to have a second build with at least one entry in the isolist.ini pointing at the beta, that is the only way to test bittorrent17:33
cjwatsonevand: mind if I do a quick ubiquity upload? I'm getting fed up of questions about ext418:01
festorHi!19:19
festorthere is a problem with ubuntu installer and ext4?19:19
festorI use ubuntu beta 9.04 and I dont see ext4 option in installer19:20
lool2 minutes!19:25
cjwatsonand has left IRC now too19:32
cjwatsonalso, he's lying; he's not using the beta. I introduced that bug on 1 April.19:32
cjwatson(or, more charitably, is unaware that post-beta daily builds != beta)19:33

loolcjwatson: parted / jaunty has a -m ("machine parseable") flag; does it make sense to request backport of parted for this feature, or should I adapter the script to not use this feature?19:57
loolcjwatson: So I implemented a non-"-m" version and keep the other one around20:38
cjwatsonlool: we don't use parted on antimony for anything else, so I don't mind *too* much either way20:58
cjwatsonlool: though in general I'd prefer not to have too many new dependencies20:58
loolcjwatson: Sent you an email20:58
loolcjwatson: I can live with either; the advantage of a new parted would be robustness; however it's unlikely to break if we don't touch it, so I don't know20:59
loolcjwatson: I'm going afk now; happy to read you opinion on ~lool/cdimage as usual20:59
xivulonevand hi21:07
xivulonevand, could you please create a build with following patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/145693/21:10
xivulonthere is no need to commit that, it is to address 20713721:10
xivulonso that davmor2 can test that, the patch will not let the read opearation fail, we would need to check the md5 of the extracted ISO afterwards21:12
cjwatsonlool: I don't suppose that sfdisk -f would avoid the CHS issues you mentioned and allow you to set an arbitrary partition type?21:12
cjwatsonlool: otherwise, a 0x83 partition might not be all *that* bad? you can't infer filesystem from 0x83 anyway21:14
cjwatsonat least not the particular filesystem involved21:14
cjwatsonlool: some more quoting would be nice in arguments to [(1) for robustness21:14
xivulonon IOerror, the patch will try to read smaller and smaller blocks, and then skip the read operation completely. I am not sure whether A) reading smaller chunks will fix it, B) whether the error is irrelevant21:15
cjwatsonlool: and indeed variable expansions in general unless there's a specific reason not to double-quote them21:15
xivulonof course if the file seek point is moved by a previous read attempt, then reading smaller chunks is not goin to help21:15
cjwatsonlool: but I'm OK with merging this in the meantime, modulo the need for extra packages on antimony21:16
cjwatsonlool: you can commit fconfig.bin as a binary in data/jaunty/ in the meantime if you want21:16
CIA-28oem-config: cjwatson * r649 trunk/debian/ (64 files in 2 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad.21:22

loolcjwatson: Ok, I usually always double-quote, but I copied the style of not quoting from other scripts; will change it21:57
cjwatsonoh, I don't mind so much if it's following other scripts21:57
loolcjwatson: I thought sfdisk was deprecated, I'll look into it when I go for a partition for the FIS; thanks21:57
cjwatsonbut probably better to fix anyway21:57
loolI agree, I hate test failing in weird ways when some vars are unset21:58
cjwatsonI hadn't heard of sfdisk being particularly deprecated, aside from the comment at the top of the manual page suggesting that you use parted instead; but in cases where parted doesn't suffice I think you're justified in ignoring that :)21:58
cjwatsonlool: oh, the alternative would be to dd in the partition type you want. It's only one byte at a known position, after all!21:58
loolcjwatson: Eh I was tempted to do this, but I didn't want to be accused of not using standard tools :)21:59
cjwatson*shrug* as long as there's a comment :)21:59
loolcjwatson: Do you know the ticket # for the redboot-tools stuff?  Is it filed?21:59
loolI think ogra did it, but I'm not 100% sure21:59
CIA-28partman-crypto: cjwatson * r677 ubuntu/debian/ (8 files in 2 dirs): Update Ubuntu-specific strings from Launchpad.22:00
cjwatsonlool: not as far as I can see22:00
loolArgh22:00
cjwatsonlool: please go ahead and file it22:00
loolcjwatson: I think I'll first merge fconfig.bin in redboot-tools in some way and then ask for it22:00
cjwatsonok22:00
loolOtherwise I'll have to ask another time22:00
loolcjwatson: thanks for the review22:01
