xivulonevand, davmor2 I pushed out rev132, could you please build and test?09:54
evandsure09:55
davmor2np's09:55
evandKeybuk pointed out to me last night that pitti landed DeviceKit-disks in Karmic, so I'm going to start working on moving usb-creator away from HAL and onto that.09:56
xivulondavmor2 it would help if you could reproduce 36922509:57

ubottuLaunchpad bug 369225 in wubi "It seems that fat32 filesystem is not identified correctly in some cases" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36922509:57
xivulonyou need a fat partition, you should usually see the filesystem in the log file if you grep for "drive", if there isn't any there is an issue09:58
davmor2xivulon: I've got a fat version of xp backed up so I can drop that onto my test box and try it :)09:58
davmor2won't be till latter on though09:59
xivulonnp, the log should look like: Drive(C: hd 17105.21875 mb free FILESYSTEM)09:59
xivulonevand could you see if you can add the wubi or ubuntu icon to the certificate?10:00
xivulonthey are both in the data/images10:00
evandxivulon: please file a bug for it and assign it to me.10:05
evandxivulon: Mind moving your changelog entries since 9.04 to a new 9.10 entry?  It'll be easier for us to see difference between releases.  We should also bzr tag the final revision that was used for Jaunty as 9.0410:11
xivulonevand the bug fixes are still for 9.0410:28
xivulonI plan to do a release for the stand-alone to fix outstanding bug in there at least10:28
xivulondavmor2, this should be the patch for bug 369225 http://paste.ubuntu.com/165987/10:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 369225 in wubi "It seems that fat32 filesystem is not identified correctly in some cases" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/36922510:28
xivulonI think that after 369225 is addressed we can move to 9.1010:29
xivulondavmor2, revised patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/165992/10:38

davmor2evand: am I right in assuming that the ^ under the : is the culprit for the wubi build break in the instance above?12:12
evandI imagine it's the : at the end of line 45 in the diff12:13
evanddelete that and it should work12:14
xivulondavmor2, my bad, remove the ":" at src\wubi\backends\win32\drive.py line 5612:14
davmor2thanks guys but hey I figured it out ish :)  Yay that work this time :)12:15
xivulonah also "def get_filesystem(self)" not "def get_filesystem(path)"12:16
xivulondavmor2 ^12:17
davmor2xivulon: right changed building again12:18

davmor2xivulon: I hit an issue on fat windows install just running wubi.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/166042/  I'm not sure if the 2 are linked which is why I haven't reported against the original bug12:43
davmor2evand: too ^12:43
xivulondavmor2 for some reason the parsing of .disk/info inside the ISO returned null12:51
xivulonby the way was this using the patch 166034?12:51
xivulondavmor2 could it be that the downloaded ISO is corrupted? can you manually check the md5 of c:\ubuntu\installation\installation.iso?13:05
yoni9972hi13:12
xivulondavmor2, assuming that the above is due to ISO corruption, this should make the process more robust (a good thing anyway): http://paste.ubuntu.com/166057/13:12
yoni9972I now install ubonto 9.04 and I have trouble with install my printer. This is the place to ask about it?13:13
yoni9972?13:15
xivulonyoni9972, you are probably better off asking in #ubuntu13:15
davmor2xivulon: rebuilding now13:36
xivulondavmor2 was the above log with the patch   http://paste.ubuntu.com/166042/  applied?13:38
davmor2xivulon: as far as I can tell yes, but I rebuilt with 166057 now13:39
xivulondoesn't look good in terms of filesystem detection13:39

davmor2xivulon: D'oh my fault I forgot I'd only got a small partition due to fat32 being crap16:11
davmor2I'm trying again with wubi's install taking up a little less space16:11

geiserihi, i have a few questions with respects to making a custom alternates CD with a specific preseed and package list.  I have figured out the preseed stuff and got that working, but i am having problems using my custom package set18:36
geiseriwhere would be a good place to start looking for more information on this?18:36
geiserii was playing with simple-cdd, but it seems to not work with ubuntu... unless im doing it wrong.18:37
=== robbiew-away is now known as robbiew
lfaraoneevand: we're thinking about using usb-creator as part of Sugar's USB stick distribution. Would you accept a well-tested patch to add a "--sugar" option that changed the way format_drive works to make the USB drive in our special way?20:00
lfaraoneevand: (we're creating two partitions, one boot fat32 and the other ext3, but other than that it's pretty much the same)20:01
superm1lfaraone, wouldn't it just make more sense to detect the different type of image at runtime and the fact that it's expected to be written out to USB differently then within the codepath?20:15
superm1or are sugar images essentially ubuntu images with no visible differences/20:15
lfaraonesuperm1: well, for example: options such as the persistance slider are pretty much useless for our setup.22:43
lfaraonesuperm1: so I guess, if the image passed at the command line meets TEST, then  grey out / remove persistance options, write *this* way, etc would work.22:44
geiseriokay i got my installer cd booting, but the cdrom-detect fails saying its not an Ubuntu CD23:08
geiseridid i miss a file on the root of the CD?23:08
geiserihow does it tell that its a ubuntu cdrom?23:08
geiseriis that what the .disk folder in the root of the iso image does?23:10
CIA-4wubi: Agostino Russo * r133 trunk/ (5 files in 3 dirs):23:34
CIA-4wubi: * Fixed vfat filesystem detection (LP: #369225)23:34
CIA-4wubi: * More robust ISO check to avoid failures when the ISO file is23:34
CIA-4wubi:  corrupted23:34
superm1lfaraone, i'm meaning more specifically when the image detection routine runs.  add some code in there, so it won't matter whether you hit browse or if you send it as a command line argument.  If you detect a sugar ISO, disable persistence settings, and set up a particular partition ordering routine23:46
superm1i think a patch like that would be very acceptable23:47
geiseri*sigh* im getting closer, now its complaining that it cannot find a valid release file...23:49
geiseriis there documentation on the format and location of that somewhere?23:50
lfaraonesuperm1: Ok, that I can do. Can I also add it as a command-line override?23:54
superm1lfaraone, you'd want to ask evand about that, he's the one who would make the end decisions on it23:55
superm1lfaraone, i'm just providing some recommendations23:55
lfaraonesuperm1: Ok. Thanks!23:56
