davmor2cjwatson: I'm running today's live iso to see if it is working.  I get "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ......."10:30
davmor2however the icon for the disc disappeared as soon as I started the installer10:30
evand1davmor2: Did you mount those partitions yourself?10:35
davmor2evand1: nope was on the screen on boot10:47
evand1was this a CD or USB disk?10:48
davmor2evand1: cd it's mounting the main hd10:48
davmor2I'm just going to check a couple of things10:48
evand1sure10:49
CIA-9rootskel: cjwatson * r342 ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs): merge lp:~al-maisan/ubuntu/karmic/rootskel/rootskel_1.77ubuntu110:49
davmor2evand1: right double checked and it is today's iso. Also when I quit the installer it remounts the hd10:51
evand1I'll take a look10:51
cjwatson... I'm going to uncommit r342, it doesn't seem to be showing up as a proper merge10:52
cjwatsonsorry, should have unbound10:52
evand1I suspect this has to do with more changes to gnome automounting12:10
davmor2evand1: could be I clicked on no and the install continued successfully but I think it's odd to have it come up12:13
cjwatsonwell, the odd thing is that any partitions are being mounted. IMO we shouldn't be doing that12:14
cjwatsonit sounds like the installer is behaving correctly given the situation12:15
cjwatsonbut that the situation is wrong :-)12:15
davmor2cjwatson: That's my point I think it's odd that it's happening :)12:19
davmor2the best of it is when the installer starts the icon vanishes like it's been unmounted however if you exit the install the icon comes back which is really weird :)12:20
cjwatsonjust saying, desktop bug not installer bug. or maybe casper bug.12:20
cjwatsonwhich icon?12:20
cjwatsonoh, right, I see what you mean12:20
cjwatsonthat's probably because the installer inhibits automounting on startup12:21
cjwatsonand the desktop is responding oddly to that - at a guess12:21
davmor2cjwatson: Right so it isn't actually unmounted then it's just that the icon is hidden, is that correct?  Or does the drive actually get unmounted?  If the latter is true then should be get the sda is mount text?12:26
davmor2s/be/we12:27
cjwatsondavmor2: dunno, I'm guessing. You'd have to run 'mount' from a terminal window to tell12:37
cjwatsondavmor2: I would be truly amazed if you got the "following disks have mounted partitions" message if something wasn't actually mounted, though12:37
evand1they are mounted12:38
evand1gnome appears to be mounting immediately now12:38
evand1(this from my reproduction of the issue, things may be different for davmor2)12:39
davmor2evand1: no sounds about right12:39
davmor2so should a bug be raised and if so against what?12:46
cjwatsonyes, and not sure where, ask on #ubuntu-desktop12:47
cjwatsonit may be that casper just needs to inhibit something12:47
cjwatson(since it could be that the behaviour is reasonable for non-live-CD systems, although I wonder how it handles journalled filesystems)12:48
davmor2cjwatson: could you help out on #ubuntu-desktop I'm not convinced I'm explaining this too well to seb128 please12:58
CIA-9usb-creator: rgreening * r107 usb-creator/usbcreator/ (backend.py kde_frontend.py): (log message trimmed)15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: Fix a bug in backend.py (line 144 - incorrect property for mount point)15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: More work on kde_frontend.py15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: - implement set_targets (partially completed)15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: - start for fix add_source15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: - implement get_target15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: - fix a unicode to str bug in add_file_source_dialog15:30
CIA-9usb-creator: rgreening * r108 usb-creator/TODO:15:57
CIA-9usb-creator: Moved branch development to lp:~kubuntu-members/usb-creator/kde-frontend15:57
CIA-9usb-creator: (easier for others to contribute)15:57
CIA-9usb-creator: Added TODO list15:57
NCommandercjwatson, so I managed to work out why d-i on sparc keeps failing, and why the ia64 kernel keeps causing the floppy image to go insane with its build size (and why the kernels are no longer compressed :-/). I should hopefully have a fix for that as soon as I'm compiling kernels. I also have a fix for the FTBFS on arm which I will (re)post in a branch shortly16:45
cjwatsonNCommander: cool, happy to merge branches for that16:50
NCommandercjwatson, yeah, well, the kernel compression issue is because didn't do the merge sanely, so we've had decompressed kernels since intrepid :-/16:51
NCommanderI need to just check which architectures are affected, I know ia64 and sparc are, not sure on powerpc16:51
cr3how can I get the pxelinux.0 file corresponding to a desktop image?17:04
evand1cjwatson: given that bug 41624 and debian bug 417407 hit dead ends ages ago, and I cannot find any code using blockdev --setro in partman or os-prober, do we account for the case of a hibernated system with a journaled filesystem in some other way?17:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 41624 in partman-basicfilesystems "Replaying journals of other OS's filesystems, by mounting them, is unsafe" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/4162417:18
ubottuDebian bug 417407 in debian-installer "debian-installer: d-i destroyed existing raid device" [Critical,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/41740717:18
evand1I suspect we do, given your earlier comments today, but my grepping isn't coming up with anything.17:18
NCommandercjwatson, lp:~mcasadevall/debian-installer/arm-ftbfs-fixes - armel fixes (not test built yet, but I'll hop on rimu in a little bit and fully test it, but this change puts armel.cfg and the last kernel upload in sync)17:24
cjwatsonevand1: lots of half-arsed exclusions of journalled filesystems all over the place, basically17:39
cjwatsonevand1: we never really dealt with it completely17:39
evand1yikes17:39
cjwatson$ bzr merge lp:~mcasadevall/debian-installer/arm-ftbfs-fixes17:53
cjwatsonNothing to do.17:53
cjwatsonNCommander: ^-17:53
NCommanderWTF?17:54
NCommanderthat's strange17:54
cjwatsonI'll try again, but maybe you hadn't completed the push before mentioning it on IRC?17:54
NCommandercjwatson, no, I did, and when I did bzr log, i see it17:54
cjwatsonstill says the same thing17:54

NCommandercodehosting been twichy recently17:55
NCommanderI see it when I do: bzr log lp:~mcasadevall/debian-installer/arm-ftbfs-fixes17:55
NCommanderhold on17:55
NCommanderI'll kick it onto rookery17:55
cjwatsonif codehosting reported an error for it, that would mean it might not manage to propagate between the various machines that host bazaar.lp.net17:55
cjwatsonthat looks like it might be a potentially interesting interaction between stacking and rich-root, and you should file a bug on launchpad-bazaar about it17:56
NCommandercjwatson, well, your LP branch is old enough that bazaar tosses a warning whenever I branch off it on stacking17:56
NCommandercjwatson, try rookery.canonical.com:~mcasadevall/public_html/d-i_arm_ftbfs17:57
cjwatsonit's been a bit of a pain to upgrade rich-root branches historically17:58
NCommanderwoo :-/17:58
NCommandercjwatson, disregard that pull, I'm an idiot when it comes bazaar pushing and assuming it takes scp syntax :-/18:01

cr3evand1: I got the ubiquity source to find the available preseed key/value pairs and I would like to suggest perhaps providing an example file like in the installation-guide-* packages19:11
xivulonhi evan19:33
cr3evand1: I booted the desktop (live) image with the kernel parameter file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed which contains a bunch of preseeds but, when I start ubiquity either with no arguments or with --automatic, it seems that nothing is automated19:57
cr3by the way, I'm currently testing jaunty19:57
cr3evand1: nevermind, I think I got it sussed20:04

cjwatsonsuperm1: 'cia_send_revno = true' in ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf would be nice21:49
superm1cjwatson, I thought the last two revisions I sent came up in irc?21:49
cjwatsonsuperm1: they did, but with revision ids rather than numbers21:49
cjwatsonwhich are pretty ugly in irc21:50
superm1ah, yeah i wasn't sure why that was happening - this is a different notebook than i usually commit from21:50
