[04:24] How does ubiquity interact with the partition manager? (does it use python bindings to libparted, or is that in C?) [05:13] lfaraone: ubiquity uses the d-i framework at the backend, with wrappers around parts to be used with the ubiquity GUI and the lives. [09:24] cjwatson: do you mind sharing the options you use for kvm and virtio? I believe I overheard you yesterday talking about undocumented options. [09:27] 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 [09:31] lfaraone: partman-base includes a 'parted_server' program; coupled with some other code it basically amounts to shell bindings to libparted [09:31] davmor2: ok, no worries [09:31] lfaraone: and then the ubiquity integration on top of that is more complicated, as TheMuso said [09:42] 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] ) === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke [10:05] cjwatson: Hm? It's listed quite clearly in the "kvm -h" output.

[10:10] soren: oh, I was reading qemu(1) rather than kvm-qemu(1) [10:12] cjwatson: Oh :) [12:36] soren: you about still? [12:46] davmor2: Yes. [12:46] replying on server seems a more sensible place [13:04] davmor2: There's actually an #ubuntu-virt channel :) [13:04] soren: cool [13:04] another one to bookmark [13:10] cjwatson: so what would be the easiest way for me to manipulate system partitions programmatically from python :) === robbiew1 is now known as robbiew === dpm_ is now known as dpm [14:28] 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? :-) [14:50] cjwatson: hehe. There was a GSCOC project in 2005, it doesn't even compile anymore on 2.6. [16:08] cjwatson: you going to be at the party tomorrow? [16:09] evand: ditto [16:09] davmor2: I'm not sure, maybe very briefly [16:09] I'm expected back home that evening [16:10] cjwatson: why are you at CT [16:10] CT? [16:10] Canonical Towers [16:11] oh, yeah, I am [16:11] Oh well I'll be going there first. So I'll say hi then :) [16:14] davmor2: I'll most likely be there [16:14] cool [19:37] ubiquity: cjwatson * r3225 karmic/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py): [19:37] ubiquity: Make create/edit partition mount combo box activate the window default [19:37] ubiquity: (LP: #364564).
