cjwatsonjtholmes: please read http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs; at present your installer bugs are coming in in a state where we can't really do much with them, but if you followed the advice on that page then we would be able to start work on them without having to go back to you to ask for more logs01:05
jtholmesok will reread reporting bugs01:14
cjwatsonthanks01:15
jtholmescjwatson, #360587 am at the point of this misinformation in step 7 of 7 in ubuntu installer01:37
jtholmesdo you want the logs at this point or when the installer completes, which it should complete successfully in about 20 minutes01:38
cjwatsonjtholmes: either is fine01:41
jtholmesok01:42
shtylmancjwatson: so...I think I have a problem...02:34
shtylmannot to be vague or anything... :)02:34
shtylmanif you have a moment...take a look at line 54 and subsiquently like 58 of oem-config.py in the main directory of oem-config02:34
shtylmanhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/oem-config/trunk/annotate/head%3A/oem-config02:36
shtylmandoes that pairing of if and else make sense to you? or am I missing something...I only ask cause for some reason I am having trouble running oem-config with -f gtk_ui02:36
shtylmancould be unrelated...but I just found that and the else seems ambiguous...02:37
shtylmancjwatson: well, that aside...I have pushed again and have also tested this version03:04
shtylmanadded the cairo_extensions file as we talked about03:04
davmor2morning evand nice break?08:32
evandindeed it was, thanks.  How was yours?08:34
davmor2evand: Worked most of it :)08:35
cjwatsonshtylman: the else there is correct at the indentation level it has - for/else is a special (and useful!) construction in python. http://docs.python.org/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-for-statement09:08
cjwatsonshtylman: what trouble were you having?09:09
cjwatsonshtylman: thanks, I'll have a look at your branch again09:09
evandhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/tmp/new_timezone_map_london.png - waiting to hear back from kwwii on a missing highlight image, but this is what they're proposing.09:43
cjwatsonwhat's the diff like - just replacement images and a cairo tweak for the box corners?09:43
cjwatsonI think we've missed the boat for RC, but may be able to squeeze it in for final if the diff is minimal09:44
evandreplacement images, and no changes to the code, though kwwii has some slight changes he wants there (box color, roundness, 80% opacity).09:50
evandthe full details are in an email I just CCed you on09:50

cjwatsonevand: is Mark in the office?09:54
evandNot sure, I didn't go in today (though coordinating going in with Ken might be a good idea)09:55
cjwatsonevand: also, have you checked whether there's (translated?) documentation featuring the current installer layout that'd need to be updated?09:55
evandchecking now09:55
davmor2evand, cjwatson: m-a still appears on dvd when doing whole drive install09:58
cjwatsonevand: he's in the office according to clan - I've asked her to poke him about this09:58
evandcjwatson: great, thanks09:58
evanddavmor2: what version of ubiquity?09:59
davmor21.12.810:00
evandargh, I'll look into it10:01
evandperhaps I'm not searching in the right place, but I've checked out the ubuntu-doc bzr branch, I've looked through doc.ubuntu.com, and did a Google Images search on *.ubuntu.com, and the only place I can find pictures of the time zone map used is on the community documentation pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall10:14
cjwatsonyeah, those are about the places I'd have looked10:15
cjwatsonso in that case, you should still notify ubuntu-doc@ and ubuntu-translators@ just in case, but we're probably in the clear for UI freeze purposes10:15
evandokay10:16
evandwill do10:16
evandwell, I'll save this as a draft until I can generate a screenshot using kwwii's diff (he's testing it some more).10:22
cjwatsonMark has signed off, I see10:27
kwwiiI should be done in a bit, been having hardware problems this morning...seems my x60s chose today to crap out on me10:28
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
cjwatsonevand,kwwii: how far are you from an upload?10:38
cjwatsonslangasek was just about to start rolling at least some of the images, but could take this if it's really close10:38
evandas soon as I get the patch from kwwii and the missing UTC-9.5 image I can upload10:39
kwwiievand: let me get that image to you first then I can try to finish the py10:40
evandok10:40
kwwiisorry, this system messing up was not how I expected to start my day10:40
kwwiiinkscape kept crashing every time I would export a b10:40
kwwiipic10:40
evandyikes10:42
davmor2evand: just to confirm both 32bit and 64bit dvd installs have run m-a10:59
kwwiiwell, I have succesfuly got ubiquity to crash :-)11:11
evandOh?  How so?11:11
kwwiichanged stuff in the python :)11:12
evandah :)11:12
kwwiiI looked into how you do the roundings on the boxes...funky stuff that11:12
kwwiiI assumed it would be much simpler :p11:12
evandit's taken from the partition bar code, which is taken from banshee11:16
kwwiievand: the last thing I am trying to do is to make the dot appear in the middle of the box...do you know if that is in segmented_bar.py or somewhere else?11:20
evandcan you elaborate on what you mean by making the dot appear in the middle of the box?11:20
evanddo you mean have the time zone selection dot vertically align with the time zone selection box?11:21
kwwiithe dot that shows the city should be  vertically aligned to the box11:21
kwwiiright :)11:21
kwwiiahhh, this is coded to move to dot depending on where it appears on the screen, right?11:24
evandright, that's in timezone_map, around line 24811:24
evandeh?11:24
evandnewy is the y coordinate of the top left corner of the time text, and the box is built around it11:25
evandif I remember correctly11:25
* evand pokes11:25
evandright, try changing line 248 to this:11:27
evandnewy = pointy - (ybearing / 2)11:27
evandIs there anything else I can help with?11:31
kwwiinope...it is (ybearing + 2)  btw11:32
kwwiiI will send you a dif in a second11:32
davmor2cjwatson: 42mins for dvd install which is better than intrepid.  It's all the stuff it removes that takes forever11:35
cjwatsonprobably the maintainer scripts; need to convert those to triggers11:42
evandkwwii: if the goal is for the dot to be vertically aligned with the text in the box, then surely it should be ybearing / 2 and not ybearing + 3 (which would break anyway if we ever changed the size of the text)11:56
kwwiievand: ahhh, right that is probably better11:58
kwwiinote that I reduced the font size to 1211:58
evandindeed, those changes look fine11:59
kwwiiexcellent :)11:59
evanddoes mark need to see another screenshot before this gets uploaded?11:59
evandas the alignment of the box to the point has changed11:59
kwwiino, he has given the thumbs up, so it should be final...and the centered dot was in the pic I sent him already :)12:00
evandgreat!12:00
kwwiilooks like we are done!12:00
kwwiithanks for the help, sorry for the trouble12:00
CIA-4ubiquity: evand * r3214 ubiquity/ (41 files in 3 dirs):12:00
CIA-4ubiquity: Update timezone map images. Slight changes to the color and size of the12:00
CIA-4ubiquity: time zone time box.12:00
evandno worries at all.  Thanks a lot for all of your help with this.  The final artwork looks fantastic.12:00
kwwiiit really does look much better, eh?12:01
kwwiiI am happy with it now :)12:01
evandabsolutely12:01
CIA-4ubiquity: evand * r3215 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.12.912:05
StevenKevand: Oooh! I guess it won't hit RC?12:06
evandStevenK: I believe slangasek has been kind enough to wait for it12:06
StevenKevand: Although I'm impressed with the changes I saw in the 0413.3 daily. Sydney is in the right spot!12:06
StevenKAnd it is usable on a MID sized screen :-)12:07
evandStevenK: thanks.  We have shtylman to thank for much of that, as it was his algorithm that we went with in the end.12:07
evandre MID> Very good!12:07
evandquite glad to hear that12:07
davmor2evand: did you apply the map changes to oem this time?12:18
evanddavmor2: as I understand it, the changes were not requested for the oem-config map12:19
davmor2evand: How come?  Thats the one endusers will see.....12:19
evandand there's slightly more involved there than just copying the module containing the map code (it requires a class from the segmented_bar module, which doesn't exist in oem-config, though could be ported)12:20
evanddavmor2: because these changes are happening so late, we want to make as few of them as possible12:20
davmor2evand: Fair enough12:20
cjwatsonshtylman produced a branch for oem-config that merged some earlier changes, but I'm still looking over it12:26
cjwatson(including copying CairoExtensions across)12:26
evandah, good deal12:27
kwwiievand: erm, you did update the color coded pic as well, right?13:00
kwwiievand: it was in the ones I sent to you...and it had an improvement13:01
evandyes13:01
evandthe coast of Greenland, right?13:01
kwwiiyeah, and north of portugal13:02
evandindeed13:06
davmor2evand, cjwatson: bug 360844 is this actually a bug?  I'm not sure as no partitions are listed as changed13:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 360844 in ubiquity "ubiquity says partition table on sdb changed and it wasnt" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36084413:12
cjwatsonyes13:15
davmor2jtholmes: nice catch, I only have single drives so I've never seen it :)13:16
cjwatsonthe process of automatically using swap on /dev/sdb is causing parted_server to think that the partition table on /dev/sdb needs to be reread13:16
jtholmesyes i thought that may be the case13:20
jtholmesthere is also another bug or two associated with the side by side process but it is esoteric and when i run into it again i will report it13:24
jtholmesthat repartioning process is particularly hard to code for13:26
DogWatercjwatson: is there any reason you can think of that you can't use something like http://192.168.0.1/ks.php?type=ubuntu for the kickstart path in Ubuntu?13:59
evandcjwatson: is there a historical reason why desktop/ubiquity.png is in the ubiquity package rather than the ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork package? (Bug 322174)  My guess would be that the ubiquity logo doesn't have the same trademark policy, even if the ubuntu logo is contained within it, though I don't have a strong understanding of trademark law.14:45

cjwatsonDogWater: that should work fine - what problems are you seeing?14:53
cjwatsonevand: it'd probably be ok to put it in the artwork package for karmic14:54
evandok14:54
evandthanks14:54
evandhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/361112 looks potentially serious, though admittedly doesn't prevent installation.  I'm looking into why it's occurring, given that debconf_progress_window is modal.15:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 361112 in ubiquity "standalone ubiquity won't let me alt-tab to status window" [Undecided,New]15:34
DogWatercjwatson: it downloads a file called http in the 'fetch' directory15:38
* cjwatson raises an eyebrow. It should give you a *directory* called http there15:40
cjwatsonDogWater: could I see the installer's syslog, please?15:40
DogWatercjwatson: duh, i apologize you're right it does create a directory15:58
DogWatercjwatson: ever figure out yet why the installer cannot destroy LVM?16:03
cjwatsonDogWater: I thought I'd fixed that ...?16:07
DogWaterI'll try it again but i believe it still stops and asks if you really want to remove the LVM partition16:08
DogWatereven if its in your kickstart/whatnot16:08
DogWatercjwatson: does %pre work in kickstart in Ubuntu or do you use preseed preseed/early_command ?16:36
cjwatson%pre should work fine16:39
DogWaterargh, %pre runs before dhcp16:40
DogWater(well, before the 2nd dhcp)16:40
DogWateris there any way to run a command after the kickstart file is downloaded and after dhcp comes up? it looks like for whatever reason %pre runs after kickstart but before network16:46
cjwatsonyou could use preseed/early_command for that16:47
DogWaterpreseed preseed/early_command or just preseed/early_command?16:49
cjwatson'preseed preseed/early_command string blah'16:49
DogWaterah, for whatever reason the same string in there doesn't work that works in %pre16:50
cjwatsonDogWater: what string is that?17:30
cjwatsonevand: I don't suppose that bug 289663 might be fixable for final? I'm going to have to carry over some release notes text otherwise17:48

kirklandcjwatson: this install only had 256MB of memory, and no swap18:44
cjwatsonyeah, that seems to be the cause19:09
cjwatsonbase installation died the first time round, and then it retried, at which point /target was indeed unclean19:09
kirklandcjwatson: okay, yeah, i've confirmed19:19
kirklandcjwatson: we used to be able to install the server with just 128MB of ram19:19
kirklandcjwatson: now it requires 128MB of mem + 128MB of swap, or 256MB of mem19:20
kirklandcjwatson: the warning on the page about not having swap should be sufficient19:23
kirklandcjwatson: i'm just too cultured to actually read the warning about the installation failing if there's not enough memory :-)19:23
