| jtholmes | can anyone tell me how i can download the partman files that are part of the ubiquity installer | 02:03 |

| mvo | hm, I got a timed login screen with the live-cd from today. that waits 10s before logging in ubuntu - is that known/expected | 08:25 |
| davmor2 | Morning Everybody | 08:55 |
| davmor2 | Anybody got a hardy server with a samba share on it? | 09:22 |
| davmor2 | schwuk: just the man | 09:56 |
| schwuk | davmor2: I never touched it! It was like that when I got there! | 09:57 |
| davmor2 | schwuk: do you happen to have a hardy server at home with a samba share on it? | 09:59 |
| schwuk | davmor2: no, but I can have in a ridiculously short amount of time. | 10:00 |
| davmor2 | schwuk: can you see if you can get jaunty to connect to it using the "network" part of places. It's failing for me here. But is working on intrepid, xp and vista | 10:02 |
| schwuk | davmor2: straight through, although - TBF - I was already connected to that server. | 10:03 |
| schwuk | davmor2: but browsing worked | 10:04 |
| davmor2 | Mine lists Windows Network, then WORKGROUP, and then fails with failed to retrieve share list from server | 10:06 |
| davmor2 | it's not picking up my server name like it used too | 10:08 |
| davmor2 | so schwuk when you click on Network do you the name of your server? | 10:23 |
| === mdz_ is now known as mdz | ||
| schwuk | davmor2: Yes | 11:05 |
| davmor2 | schwuk: that's what mine isn't doing | 11:05 |
| davmor2 | so I wonder why that is | 11:06 |
| davmor2 | schwuk: Yay I can connect via connect to server | 11:39 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Good afternoon :) | 12:58 |
| davmor2 | fader_: morning | 12:59 |
| davmor2 | fader_: I've killed my usb pen drive I think :( | 12:59 |
| fader_ | davmor2: My advice would be not to do that. | 12:59 |
| fader_ | Too much plugging and unplugging? | 13:00 |
| davmor2 | fader_: Fortunately I have another so I got unr back on my AAO | 13:00 |
| davmor2 | fader_: Too much overwritting | 13:00 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Hah, I thought that after spending a week upgrading Linpus on it you'd want to keep it that way ;) | 13:01 |
| davmor2 | fader_: Cough * SUCKS!!!!! *Cough | 13:01 |
| fader_ | :) | 13:01 |
| davmor2 | fader_: To be fair for the average web user moving over from windows it's probably great. However for any other user it's so limited | 13:04 |
| fader_ | davmor2: To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about it. :/ Maybe I should dig through Wikipedia a bit. :) | 13:04 |
| davmor2 | fader_: I can create an iso of the cd for you if you want :) | 13:05 |
| fader_ | davmor2: I think I'll probably pass on that, thanks :) | 13:06 |
| davmor2 | fader_: Coward | 13:06 |
| fader_ | :P | 13:06 |
| fader_ | Their website doesn't inspire confidence, especially when clicking on screenshots gets me 404s | 13:07 |
| davmor2 | :D | 13:14 |
| davmor2 | fader_: http://regmedia.co.uk/2008/08/15/aspire_one_10.png | 13:19 |
| fader_ | That doesn't look too bad, but it's tough to know how well it works from the screenshot | 13:20 |
| fader_ | The icons are nice, in that late-90s sort of way | 13:20 |
| davmor2 | fader_: Again I'll happily create an iso of the cd for you :) | 13:20 |
| fader_ | Hehe | 13:21 |
| davmor2 | fader_: there is only one true way to try it you know that don't you ;) | 13:22 |
| fader_ | davmor2: I'd love to but, uh, I have to attend the opening of my garage door. | 13:22 |
| davmor2 | lmao | 13:22 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, if you have time pls chk the last entry on #354515 i was able to bypass the portman 141 error | 14:29 |
| jtholmes | portman=partman | 14:29 |
| jtholmes | jtholmes bbl | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | jtholmes: ah, it's a simple typo. I'll fix it now, thanks | 14:35 |
| cjwatson | I'd written . instead of _ | 14:35 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, mind telling me in what file the typo existed | 14:55 |
| cjwatson | jtholmes: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/3191, if you can manage to get that to load. It's in ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py | 14:58 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, thanks will try | 14:59 |
| eeejay | yo yo | 15:11 |
| eeejay | where is ara? holiday? | 15:11 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, made change from . to _ in my installer. reran installer works fine, btw the 'weak password' string change looks good also | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | good stuff, thanks for retesting | 15:23 |
| jtholmes | cjwatson, i will also test tomorrows daily to be sure and add my results to the bug comments thanks | 15:27 |

| davmor2 | anyone else having issues filing bugs | 17:17 |
| davmor2 | charlie-tca: hello | 17:19 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, davmor2 | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | Like the page won't come up? | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | I can read launchpad pages, but get a Timeout error on the main bugs page | 17:21 |
| davmor2 | like it timesout after I add the title for the bug | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | You got further than me, then | 17:21 |
| davmor2 | charlie-tca: not good then | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | I just asked in #launchpad | 17:22 |
| davmor2 | mine is about 4 above yours | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | It is being worked | 17:23 |
| === fader|lunch is now known as fader_ | ||
| jtholmes | I just added a comment to a bug but have not opened a new one today | 17:59 |
| jtholmes | can anyone tell me what virtual machine the developers (and others) use for testing releases of ubuntu | 18:35 |
| davmor2 | jtholmes: pick one. you can chroot, kvm, virtualbox is about the easiest, xen etc etc etc | 18:38 |
| davmor2 | jtholmes: they all work in a pretty similar manner | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | I use VirtualBox to test all flavors, then do a hardware test if it fails anything | 18:40 |
| === Crazyguy_ is now known as Crazyguy | ||
| jtholmes | charlie-tca, what do you mean do a hardware test, load on a real machine? | 19:20 |
| charlie-tca | yes, I have extra systems here I use for testing | 19:20 |
| jtholmes | me too, just wanted clarification there as I plan to start using vb to test | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | I test in virtualbox daily, pre-release in VB and hardware, and anything that fails in VB gets tested on hardware | 19:22 |
| jtholmes | guess so | 19:22 |
| jtholmes | the one question i have is how to you load the iso in the vb is there a wiki page? | 19:22 |
| jtholmes | i dont want to burn cd's | 19:23 |
| charlie-tca | I go through over 100 a month | 19:23 |
| jtholmes | yikes | 19:23 |
| jtholmes | i wanted to load it from a hard disk like i do now | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | It is just like painkillers for me | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, the advantage to VB is you can do that. It seems to be mostly reliable, but sometimes the VB fails are not repeatable on hardware. | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | Also, sometimes I get hardware fails that are not reproducable in any vm | 19:25 |
| jtholmes | thats interesting | 19:25 |
| jtholmes | well thanks for the info | 19:26 |
| charlie-tca | Have fun with testing. | 19:26 |
| jtholmes | sure | 19:26 |
| sbeattie | charlie-tca: have you given any more thought to bug 355370? | 20:35 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 355370 in gnome-screensaver "gnome-screensaver does not respect screensaver selection" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/355370 | 20:35 |
