| lfaraone | How does ubiquity interact with the partition manager? (does it use python bindings to libparted, or is that in C?) | 04:24 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | lfaraone: ubiquity uses the d-i framework at the backend, with wrappers around parts to be used with the ubiquity GUI and the lives. | 05:13 |
| evand | cjwatson: do you mind sharing the options you use for kvm and virtio? I believe I overheard you yesterday talking about undocumented options. | 09:24 |
| davmor2 | evand: Morning All tested no mass re-spins so no wubi in :( r129-signed worked I don't know why it was complaining about no disk | 09:27 |
| cjwatson | lfaraone: partman-base includes a 'parted_server' program; coupled with some other code it basically amounts to shell bindings to libparted | 09:31 |
| evand | davmor2: ok, no worries | 09:31 |
| cjwatson | lfaraone: and then the ubiquity integration on top of that is more complicated, as TheMuso said | 09:31 |
| cjwatson | I answered evand in person, but for the record I usually use something like 'kvm -m 384 -drive file=t.img,if=virtio,boot=on -cdrom jaunty-desktop-i386.iso' (the boot=on bit is undocumented | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | ) | 09:42 |

| soren | cjwatson: Hm? It's listed quite clearly in the "kvm -h" output. | 10:05 |

| cjwatson | soren: oh, I was reading qemu(1) rather than kvm-qemu(1) | 10:10 |
| soren | cjwatson: Oh :) | 10:12 |
| davmor2 | soren: you about still? | 12:36 |
| soren | davmor2: Yes. | 12:46 |
| davmor2 | replying on server seems a more sensible place | 12:46 |
| soren | davmor2: There's actually an #ubuntu-virt channel :) | 13:04 |
| davmor2 | soren: cool | 13:04 |
| davmor2 | another one to bookmark | 13:04 |
| lfaraone | cjwatson: so what would be the easiest way for me to manipulate system partitions programmatically from python :) | 13:10 |

| cjwatson | lfaraone: err, I don't know I'm afraid. There used to be python bindings to libparted but I'm pretty sure they're unmaintained. Maybe you could track them down and maintain them? :-) | 14:28 |
| lfaraone | cjwatson: hehe. There was a GSCOC project in 2005, it doesn't even compile anymore on 2.6. | 14:50 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: you going to be at the party tomorrow? | 16:08 |
| davmor2 | evand: ditto | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: I'm not sure, maybe very briefly | 16:09 |
| cjwatson | I'm expected back home that evening | 16:09 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: why are you at CT | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | CT? | 16:10 |
| davmor2 | Canonical Towers | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | oh, yeah, I am | 16:11 |
| davmor2 | Oh well I'll be going there first. So I'll say hi then :) | 16:11 |
| evand | davmor2: I'll most likely be there | 16:14 |
| davmor2 | cool | 16:14 |
