=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
evandcjwatson: out of curiosity, is there a historical reason why we do not honor the value of clock-setup/ntp-server in the ntpdate package?  I had initially assumed it was used beyond just setting the clock at install time, but that does not appear to be the case.09:51
cjwatsonntpdate shouldn't honour it itself but maybe clock-setup should adjust ntpdate's configuration ...09:58
cjwatson(I don't *know* of a reason)09:58
evandfiled as bug 38834310:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 388343 in clock-setup "clock-setup should adjust ntpdate's configuration with preseeded ntp servers" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38834310:07
evandI don't think it's a priority -- I haven't heard anyone complaining about it -- but it seemed a bit odd and I wanted to get it written down somewhere.10:08
davmor2cjwatson: cd is now ejecting correctly :D10:09
cjwatsonexcellent10:10
davmor2I'm still getting the mounted harddrive issue though10:11
evandhrm, we/I never made a branch for casper hardy changes :-/10:15
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r3285 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py):10:30
CIA-4ubiquity: Keep ecryptfs-utils installed if it's already in use by users on an10:30
CIA-4ubiquity: existing /home (LP: #361627). This duplicates code from user-setup, but10:30
CIA-4ubiquity: necessarily so since /target isn't yet mounted when user-setup-ask runs10:30
CIA-4ubiquity: in ubiquity.10:30
xivulonevand I did more tests yesterday on r136, it seems good to me10:43
xivulonI also left a message on #ubuntu-testing10:43
xivulonit is up to you and steve at this stage I guess10:43
evandgiven that we cannot reroll CDs, am I safe in assuming you'd like to put this as the download on wubi-installer.org?10:46
xivulonevand wubi-installer.org download is redirected to ubuntu.com10:47
xivulonso what I mean is replacing http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/wubi.exe10:48
evandokay10:49
evandso you've tested it, davmor2 has tested it, and I'm assuming you put out a call for testing to ubuntuforums but didn't get any replies, correct?10:49
xivuloncall for testing was on r13410:49
xivulonplus made a request for r136 on #ubuntu-testing10:50
xivulonyou might want to run a quick test just in case10:50
xivulonfeedback on the bug reports where people have tried 134 is good10:50
xivulonon a separate not would it be possible to generate a casper initrd (with lupin) from http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp376120-jaunty/ ?10:51
xivulonand then upload vmlinuz and initrd.gz somewhere, so it would be easier to find testers for 37612010:52
xivulondavmor2 ^10:52
evandxivulon: testing r136 myself now, then I'll run it by slangasek11:02
xivulonthanks, I already mentioned that to steve at UDS11:03
evandthen I'll address the initrd issue11:03
xivulon hm actually it might be better to backport the patch (http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp376120-jaunty/0001-Fix-_fat_bmap-locking.patch) to 2.6.28-1111:03
xivulonactually evand, wait on 13611:09
xivulonlet me investigate 386733 first11:10
evandwell, already running through an install, but I'll see what you come back with on that11:10
xivulonI will have to that tonight11:13
juliuxhi11:39
juliuxi try atm to use preseed again to install my systems at work, i try to create a root an a /var partion11:41
juliuxthat is how the part from preseed looks http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/395524/11:42
cjwatsonjuliux: ok ...?11:49
juliuxi got an error11:55
juliuxthe installer says no root partition11:55
cjwatsonwe'll need to see full logs11:55
cjwatsonsyslog and partman11:55
juliuxbut the preseed looks ok?11:56
cjwatsonI didn't see an obvious problem at first glance, but you only gave me a small fragment of the preseed file of course11:57
cjwatsonit would be helpful to have all the information to hand, obviously with any passwords removed11:57
juliuxhttp://paste.ubuntuusers.de/395525/11:58
juliuxthat is the whole preseed.cfg11:58
juliuxbbl lunchtime11:59
cjwatsonyou don't need partman-auto/choose_recipe, but that shouldn't matter12:00
cjwatsonok, get back to me when you have the logs12:00
cjwatsonjuliux: oh, there's a missing backslash at the end of one line12:01
cjwatsonformat{ } \12:01
cjwatsonuse_filesystem{ }12:01
cjwatsonfilesystem{ ext3 } \12:01
cjwatsonjuliux: fix that ...12:01
evandcjwatson: if you have a free moment today, I'm keen to get your thoughts on the ubiquity-slideshow discussion I just moved to ubuntu-installer, having written previous versions of the specification yourself, and those versions using HTML for the slides.12:11
cjwatsonok, will see what I can do12:26
evandthanks, much appreciated12:40
juliuxcjwatson: http://ubuntu.juliux.de/partman and http://ubuntu.juliux.de/syslog13:10
cjwatsonyou should probably also say "d-i partman/choose_partition select finish" rather than "d-i partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk13:11
cjwatsonbut I don't expect that would cause a problem in the absence of the other bug in your preseed file13:12
cjwatsonthe missing backslash has rather badly confused the preseed file parser I think13:14
juliuxok13:14
juliuxi have fixed the mssing backslash13:14
juliuxand changed the d-i partman/choose_partion select finish row13:17
juliuxlooks good know13:17
juliuxnow13:18
juliuxcjwatson: i got it work, but is there a way to say take the rest of the harddisk for a special partition?13:32
cjwatsonjust add another partition to the recipe with an enormous weighting?13:33
cjwatsonthere's no way to leave unallocated space in a partitioning recipe (Debian #297201), but you can always create a big placeholder partition13:34

rgreeningevand: ping14:37
evandrgreening: hi14:38
rgreeninghave you tried to run usb-creator from trunk under karmic recently?14:38
evandI was actually in the middle of attempting to do just that14:38
rgreeningevand: crash bang boom14:38
evandindeed14:38
evanddigging14:39
rgreeningI upgraded to karmic... bad idea14:39
rgreening:(14:39
rgreeningI think it's dbus and policykit related, cause it does not ask me to enter a gksu password anymore.14:39
rgreeningevand: hmm... the format causes a crash... but just make disk is running...14:42
rgreeningevand: any ideas14:59
evanddigging at it14:59

davmor2evand: I've just finished a bunch of tests on wubi r136 seems fine.  It downloads everything it's meant to and seem to be behaving itself nice apart from the vfat issue15:03
davmor2I haven't tried it on windows 7 but vista and xp ntfs are okay :)15:05
evanddavmor2: I tried it in windows 7 and sent an email to ago saying that it was successful15:05
evandhe wanted to look into a bug before we proceeded though15:05
davmor2evand: Cool :)15:05
davmor2I saw I just finished read the scroll back :)15:06
* evand stabs HAL repeatedly15:12
NCommanderDoes ubiquity have an option to do a badblocks scan, or that more or less excusive to the alternate/expert16:07

CIA-4debian-installer: cjwatson * r935 hardy-proposed/debian/changelog: releasing version 20070308ubuntu40.917:06
rgreeningevand: still digging... must be 6' or more by now :)17:21
evandrgreening: heh, I'm not sure at the moment.  I had suspected it was device notification changes for devices that didn't exist anymore, but apparently not.17:22
rgreeningevand: I wonder if it's a volid (uuid) change?17:23
* rgreening is probably talking out my a$$17:23
evandI commented out the property change notification code entirely and it's still crashing17:24
evandso yeah, will have to dig deeper17:24
evandbut I have to run out and pick up dinner, so it'll have to wait until later17:25
rgreeningok, I have some of the gobject stuff ported...17:25
rgreeningthough I'll need some same eyes to review my port17:25
rgreeningevand: ^ :)17:25
evandsure, perhaps push to another branch and I can review it when I get back?17:26
rgreeningevand: I have changes in a new (temporary) kbackend.py so as to not disrupt the backend.py.17:27
rgreeningSo I can push that and delete it later when we merge back to a single backend17:28
rgreeningif ok...17:28
evandsure17:32
evandworks for me17:32

CIA-4usb-creator: Begin to rip out gobject from backend.py. Temporarily add kbackend.py (mirror backend.py) and20:00
CIA-4usb-creator: re-write gobject calls to new wrappers in kde_frontend.py. Similar will need to be done for20:00
CIA-4usb-creator: gtk_frontend.py and then move kbackend.py to backend.py (once gtk_frontend.py pieces are20:00
CIA-4usb-creator: implemented). kde_frontend.py will use kbackend.py until this is done (for test and proof of20:00
CIA-4usb-creator: concept).20:00
rgreeningevand: ping20:02
rgreeningevand: I've committed the first phase. I'll work on the remaining gobject calls later. I think this will work fine.20:04
rgreeningevand: was fun to implement gobject_add in qt (not!) :)20:05
rgreeningtimeout_add I mean...20:05
