[00:07] <icarus901> cjwatson, hm that hack didnt work -> 'lilo-installed failed for unknown reasons'
[00:07]  * icarus901 moonlights as orbitus
[00:08] <cjwatson> err, you might try (echo '#! /bin/sh'; echo 'exit 0') > /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.postinst
[00:09] <cjwatson> I guess
[00:09] <cjwatson> oh, no
[00:09] <cjwatson> let's try a different approach
[00:09] <cjwatson> d-i preseed/early_command string ln -sf /bin/false /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.isinstallable
[00:10] <cjwatson> that's closer to what you want anyway
[00:10] <icarus901> i did actually try that, though in concert with the first
[00:10] <icarus901> ill try alone now
[00:11] <cjwatson> or (echo '#! /bin/sh'; echo 'exit 1') > /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo-installer.isinstallable
[00:21] <icarus901> that may have done it; i'll know in a moment
[00:30] <icarus901> cjwatson, excellent! problem solved
[00:31] <icarus901> apologies for popping up yet again with annoying questions
[00:33] <cjwatson> np
[00:33] <cjwatson> glad it's sorted
[00:33] <cjwatson> which version worked?
[00:35] <icarus901> cjwatson, your last suggestion
[00:38] <cjwatson> ok
[03:05] <icarus901> cjwatson, guess who's back
[03:06] <icarus901> console-setup model=skip was long after dapper as far as i can tell, but if there's a good way to skip it without human interaction that would be ideal
[03:07] <cjwatson> refer to the dapper documentation - it didn't use console-setup, there was a different method
[03:08] <cjwatson> d-i console-tools/archs select skip-config
[03:08] <cjwatson> from a quick glance at the current Debian documentation, anyway
[09:50] <NCommander> is Wubi known to work w/ WIndows 7?
[09:57] <evand> yes
[12:07] <NCommander> evand, ping?
[12:07] <evand> NCommander: pong
[12:07] <NCommander> evand, I'm working on adding UNR to wubi, but I ran into a bit of a snag
[12:07] <evand> NCommander: not sure if you saw my response before.  Yes, Wubi should work in Windows 7.
[12:07] <evand> okay
[12:07] <NCommander> evand, Oh, I didn't.
[12:08] <NCommander> evand, How can I force it not to download via bittorrent
[12:08] <NCommander> Its trying to pull a non-existent torrent
[12:08] <evand> Do you mean how do you force it to use the CD?
[12:08] <NCommander> I'd like it to autodownload the ISO if possible
[12:08] <evand> ah
[12:08]  * evand pokes
[12:09] <NCommander> wubi really doesn't handle a 404 too well
[12:09] <NCommander> :-/
[12:09] <evand> I imagine xivulon welcomes bug reports :)
[12:09] <evand> and patches, of course
[12:09] <NCommander> Oh, I was pointed to you as the wubi guy
[12:09] <NCommander> Obviously there's a pointer error somewhere
[12:09] <evand> I help with it, but xivulon is the main upstream author
[12:09] <NCommander> ah
[12:10]  * NCommander also found another bug
[12:10] <NCommander> --nobittorrent seems to be what I want
[12:10] <evand> ah, good deal.  What was the other bug?
[12:11] <NCommander> Graphical bug
[12:11] <NCommander> A title with a space breaks the first screen
[12:11] <NCommander> I get
[12:11] <NCommander> "You are about to install Ubuntu Netbook"
[12:11] <NCommander> No remix :-)
[12:11] <NCommander> cool, its grabbing the ISO
[12:11] <NCommander> Now to see if this works as expected
[12:14] <evand> NCommander: if you fix anything along the way, I'd be happy to merge it in on your behalf.  We're trying to build the developer community around Wubi this cycle, among other things.
[12:14] <NCommander> evand, your bazaar tree doesn't check out on windows ;-)
[12:14] <NCommander> (symlinks are an evil thing on Windows)
[12:14] <evand> yeah, I noticed that one as well
[12:14] <evand> WINE
[12:15] <evand> in wubi.trunk, make runpy
[12:15] <NCommander> Meh, I rather develop windows apps on windows
[12:15] <NCommander> But that's just me
[12:15] <evand> sure
[12:15] <evand> you can always winscp the directory over
[12:15] <NCommander> I used to be a Windows programmer before I jumped ship to Ubuntu
[12:15] <NCommander> But I never touched python on it :-/
[12:16] <NCommander> Mostly at the time because you couldn't (easily) get a .exe out of it; although wubi proves that changed
[12:16] <evand> indeed, it's got some wonderful bits in there that I fully intend to steal for usb-creator
[12:17] <evand> still, I'd love Python support in Visual Studio or MonoDevelop
[12:17] <evand> I'll have to keep dreaming though, as they appear to have ceased efforts on the Python add-in for the latter.
[12:27] <NCommander> evand, there is ironpython
[12:27] <NCommander> :-)
[12:27] <NCommander> evand, stupid question, is there a way to --verbose wubi?
[12:27] <NCommander> its stuck on checking installation files
[12:27] <evand> --verbose :)
[12:29] <NCommander> where's the output come out?
[12:29]  * NCommander can't figure out why this is stalled
[12:30] <NCommander> evand, ?
[12:31] <evand> %TEMP%/wubi-rXXX.log if memory serves
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: cjwatson * r1216 ubuntu/ (5 files in 4 dirs): (log message trimmed)
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: Rearrange LVM configuration per the
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: foundations-karmic-server-installer-improvements specification. Instead
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: of requiring partitions to be set for use as LVM physical volumes first,
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: we now offer all partitions that could be used as PVs, and automatically
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: set them up that way on request. This allows us to offer our main menu
[12:36] <CIA-8> partman-lvm: option more or less all the time, and should require many fewer
[12:37] <cjwatson> (phew. now I just need to figure out how to do the same for RAID and crypto ...)
[12:38] <evand> very cool
[12:39] <NCommander> +1 cjwatson :-)
[12:42]  * NCommander is trying to figure out why UNR doesn't have an initramfs ...
[12:43] <NCommander> oh
[12:43] <NCommander> .lz ...
[12:52]  * cjwatson ponders the partman-md/mdcfg separation
[12:57] <cjwatson> in some ways it's awfully tempting to try to merge them first
[13:10] <NCommander> evand, I'm posting a bazaar branch right now, but I can't successfully install; Wubi choked on parsing .disk\info, but it did download the ISO and it did properly show up in the list
[13:11] <NCommander> lp:~mcasadevall/wubi/add-unr-fix-karmic-casper
[13:11] <NCommander> (still pushing though)
[13:11] <evand> thanks, I'll review and merge in a few minutes
[13:25] <CIA-8> wubi: evand * r139 wubi.trunk/ (5 files in 3 dirs):
[13:25] <CIA-8> wubi: * Added support for UNR
[13:25] <CIA-8> wubi: * Modified isolist.ini to represent new casper filename; capser.lz for lzma
[13:25] <CIA-8> wubi:  compressed initramfses
[13:42] <StevenK> How did it choke on the .disk/info? It doesn't like daily images?
[13:43] <NCommander> StevenK, yeah
[13:43] <NCommander> StevenK, I'm going to file a bug on it once I reboot the PC
[13:45] <StevenK> NCommander: Please subscribe ubuntu-unr to the bug.
[13:46] <NCommander> StevenK, that isn't a UNR specific bug
[13:46] <NCommander> StevenK, (the graphical glitch one is though)
[13:47] <StevenK> NCommander: No, but it does affect UNR.
[13:48] <NCommander> StevenK, alright, I shall
[13:48]  * NCommander needs coffee and breakfast though first
[21:51] <davmor2> evand1: wubi on hardy.3 is throwing up an invalid cd dialogue
[21:52] <davmor2> I think it might be down to wubi being versioned?
[21:52] <davmor2> version specific might of been a better description
[22:04] <cjwatson> mm
[22:06] <cjwatson> I've committed a fix, but I'd like evand or xivulon to sign off on it
[22:06] <cjwatson> evand1: ^- when you see this
[22:07] <cjwatson> evand1: I'm confused about the status of Xubuntu; it's currently on 8.04.2, but it never had a .2 release
[22:07] <cjwatson> (I think Evan needs to upload this anyway, I don't know the runes)
[22:13] <davmor2> cjwatson: ta
[22:47] <CIA-8> partman-md: cjwatson * r929 mdcfg-merge/ (8 files in 5 dirs):
[22:47] <CIA-8> partman-md: * Merge mdcfg, making partman-md stand-alone. Bugs fixed along the way:
[22:47] <CIA-8> partman-md:  - Talks about "software RAID" or "multiple device" rather than
[22:47] <CIA-8> partman-md:  "multidisk" (closes: #387696).
[22:47] <CIA-8> partman-md:  - Uses partman locking mechanism (closes: #499285).
[22:58] <evand1> cjwatson: any idea if it's going to have a .2 release, or if I can bump it back down to .1?
[22:59] <evand1> same question for kde
[23:00] <davmor2> evand1: I thought kde had a .2
[23:01] <evand1> ah, so it did
[23:01] <CIA-8> partman-md: cjwatson * r930 mdcfg-merge/finish-install.d/65partman-md: no need for this guard; the [ ! -s "$CF" ] test is enough
[23:03] <cjwatson> evand1: Kubuntu had .2 but won't have later ones per slangasek, at least as far as I know and as long as that hasn't changed lately; Xubuntu won't have anything after .1
[23:03] <evand1> okay
[23:03] <cjwatson> .1 was done across the board due to the OpenSSL vulnerability; it was a special case
[23:05] <CIA-8> wubi: evand * r510 hardy/ (data/isolist.ini debian/changelog): Put Xubuntu back at 8.04.1.
[23:09] <evand1> okay, uploaded to rookery
[23:09] <evand1> should be on the next CD roll
[23:10] <evand1> I have to head to bed though
[23:10] <evand1> cheers
[23:10] <cjwatson> cool, thanks
