| evand | I have most of the code in place for ubiquity understanding the use_biggest_free option, I'm just looking for the best way to extract the partition that's going to be used for use_biggest_free from partman. | 12:42 |
| evand | my current thought is to pull it out of /var/lib/partman/snoop | 12:43 |
| * cjwatson looks | 12:49 | |
| cjwatson | I've sort of been hoping to drop use of the snoop file soon since the choices are now more automatically parseable than they used to be, but I don't object if that's the easiest way ... let's see | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | use snoop if it's easier to work into the code as it stands, but I think you can also fish it out of choices-c for whichever automatically_partition question you get | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | choices-c should have an entry something like 50biggest_free__________/var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda//32-1048576 | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | and I think that's basically just what's in the snoop file as well (except that the lines in snoop also have <tab><description of partman-auto/text/use_biggest_free> at the end) | 12:54 |
| cjwatson | indeed, menu_options should have the contents of snoop pre-parsed for you | 12:55 |
| davmor2 | evand: I'll re-test in about 10 minutes | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | you can use self.find_script(menu_options, 'biggest_free') which will give you a list of (currently) either zero or one elements; if the list is non-empty, its element will be a three-element tuple of which the second element should be something like '/var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda//32-1048576' | 12:57 |
| davmor2 | evand: I still think that the oem map should be the new one it looks wrong. But then I guess the end user would never know | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | the split_devpart method will take that string apart into device and partition ids | 12:58 |

| cjwatson | I'm really not happy with the Kubuntu autopartitioning bar code. It looks quite broken in a number of places :-( | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | and it definitely isn't working if there are no partitions to resize | 13:34 |
| cjwatson | I suppose I might be able to bodge it together somehow ... | 13:34 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: Should ubiquity be able to resize a ext4 partition? | 13:39 |

| cjwatson | davmor2: what precisely is the problem here? | 13:52 |
| cjwatson | yes, I need syslog | 13:52 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: On ubuntu I did a manual install where I used ext4 for basically the whole drive bar swap. In Kubuntu I've gone to resize the drive and it just says it can't and goes to manual mode | 13:54 |

| davmor2 | cjwatson: it's hw I rebooted | 13:59 |
| cjwatson | not sure there's much I can do, resize2fs doesn't like it ... maybe it crashed before unmounting it properly | 14:03 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: I've run the e3fsck and started ubiquity again and it's gone through this time. I'll try it again after the tests are complete to makes sure it's not an issue | 14:04 |

| cjwatson | that SO doesn't do what the author expected | 14:11 |

| cjwatson | actually, how is this working at all for anyone? '=dev=sda' will be turned into 'sa' | 14:13 |
| evand | yikes, that's definitely my doing | 14:13 |
| soren | >>> '=dev=sda'.strip('=dev=') | 14:14 |
| soren | 'sda' | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | hmm | 14:14 |
| soren | It only really breaks for virtio devices. | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | oh, it'll only strip contiguous characters | 14:14 |
| soren | Or people with enough devices to have an "sde" | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | no, that won't break either | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | it'll stop at the 's' | 14:14 |
| cjwatson | oh, but it's strip not lstrip | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | so yes, you're right | 14:15 |
| soren | Only from the start and end of the string until it reaches a not-to-be-stripped character. | 14:15 |
| cjwatson | I ran into this because I decided to start using virtio devices for routine testing | 14:15 |

| lool | How is it guaranteed that some items are translated in Ubuntu install mediums? | 16:40 |
| lool | Say, ubiquity is translated in French, how could I make sure other software is? | 16:40 |
| lool | Like language-selector | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | you can't, in general, since it requires language packs | 16:41 |
| lool | But ubiquity manages to | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | although I think language-selector is handled outside language packs | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity does not use language packs, for good reason | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | but that doesn't mean we can do that in general | 16:41 |
| lool | Is it to make sure that the installer will be translated that ubiquity doesn't use langpacks? | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | language-selector uses a similar approach to ubiquity; it's excluded from translation stripping (in pkgbinarymangler) and we update the translations in there by hand every so often | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | it's because the installer displays text before it has a chance to install language packs ... | 16:42 |
| cjwatson | so if we didn't exclude the installer from language packs, we'd have a chicken-and-egg problem | 16:42 |
| lool | Exactly; in my case, after install, I was told that language data was incomplete | 16:42 |
| lool | With half of the strings in English | 16:42 |
| lool | And I'd like to blame it on $foo | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | can I see the syslog? | 16:43 |
| cjwatson | sometimes that happens because networking was unavailable; sometimes it's a bug | 16:43 |
| lool | networking wasn't available | 16:44 |
| lool | Because I did the install fullscreen, outside of a live session | 16:44 |
| lool | So didn't get the NM icon | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | right, can't do much about that right now although there is a bug open | 16:44 |
| lool | As long as it's a known limitation, I'm ok | 16:45 |
| lool | I had in mind that stuff like NM should be excluded as well | 16:45 |
| lool | Because you use it to grab langpacks | 16:45 |
| lool | But it quickly opens the door to a lot of things to have translated on the CD :-/ | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | the amount of NM text you actually need to bring up networking isn't very much really | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | and we can't ship translations for the whole desktop into all languages, sadly | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | I think there's a bug open, anyway. But at any rate it is known | 16:46 |
| lool | cjwatson: Yes, I think we agree strongly; it would be feasible, but it's hard to draw the final line on what we really need to include and I know we can't include all | 16:47 |
| lool | I guess you don't care about the syslog anymore | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | lool: nope, thanks | 16:49 |

| mdz | I just noticed that ubiquity prompts for the OEM ID before the keyboard is configured. is this a problem? | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | mdz: yes, albeit a minor one since I expect most OEMs can cope with a US keyboard (or whatever the default for the language they selected at the boot loader is). Bug 290421, which I notice you filed ;-) | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 290421 in ubiquity "OEM ID prompt comes before keyboard layout has been set up" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/290421 | 18:04 |
| mdz | cjwatson: ah, the memories | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | it should probably go on the user setup page, but there was all that tempting free space on the language page ... | 18:05 |
| mdz | way back in intrepid RC | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | we've had trouble with the user setup page; its size has been one of the things impeding support for small screens | 18:06 |
