| davmor2 | evand: was there any progress on wubi for unr and kne I thought I might try an install today pre-alpha5 | 11:09 |
|---|---|---|
| evand | yes, it should be working | 11:10 |
| davmor2 | cool I'll let you know shortly then :) | 11:12 |
| davmor2 | hello xivulon | 11:12 |
| xivulon | morning davmor2 | 11:18 |
| davmor2 | trying out wubi on netbook shortly, although for some unknown and frustrating reason my xp backup doesn't want to restore :( | 11:19 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | Hi all, has anyone from the gNewSense project aproached you about porting Ubiquity to Debian? | 12:15 |
| cjwatson | not seriously | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | the hard bit of porting ubiquity to Debian is that it involves quite a few hacks to d-i that aren't in Debian as yet | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | plus of course that the Debian Live project is going down a different installer path | 12:31 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | nod. I know someones planning to/in the process of porting ubiquity, I was wondering if they had approached here yet. | 12:37 |
| cjwatson | not to my knowledge | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | some people have previously tried but didn't do it well | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | they effectively ended up running the Ubuntu installer on Debian, which is wrong | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity on Debian would need to be using Debian's d-i with only the minimal changes required to support ubiquity | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | which is ... harder work so most people give up | 12:38 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | I should find out if they are aware of that 'problem', or if they are going to wind up with the 'Ubuntu installer on Debian'. | 12:40 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | (which i suspect they will). | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | if I knew how to solve the problem correctly, I would already have done it :) | 12:41 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hehe. Guess so. Do you have an opinion as to wether we should investigate the deb-live teams installer, or hackishly port ubiquity? | 12:44 |
| cjwatson | not really, they're quite different approaches so it's your choice | 12:47 |
| cjwatson | you should try both and figure out what you like | 12:47 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ok, thank you for the info. | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | live-installer is a d-i plugin, so its UI is just the d-i UI | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity has its own UI which is designed rather than generated | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | so it's (IMO anyway) a better UI, but the cost is more complicated and harder-to-maintain code | 12:49 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | is live-installer the GTK debian-installer? (i've seen that option on the install media) | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | live-installer is a plugin to debian-installer, GTK or not | 12:54 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ok, I'll give it some research. | 12:54 |
| evand | kirkland: how did your test of the encrypted swap stuff go? | 15:03 |
| evand | http://people.canonical.com/~evand/screenshots/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ | 15:25 |
| davmor2 | evand: slide 7 maybe wrong totem doesn't currently have the youtube plugin | 15:33 |
| evand | davmor2: if you can confirm that, can you please file a bug against ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu | 15:33 |
| evand | (I also know that the Firefox icon is missing and that Pidgin is mentioned instead of Empathy) | 15:33 |
| davmor2 | evand: you might want to check on desktop I'm sure there was talk of a fix but today's iso shows no youtube plugin | 15:36 |
| evand | davmor2: if it's a bug that's going to be fixed for Karmic, I'm fine leaving the slide as-is | 15:37 |
| yann|work | what genisoimage options are used when generating the alternate cd images ? I'm remastering images, and can't get "growisoimage -M" to add files without loosing some original filenames ("Old session has illegal name ...") | 15:37 |
| yann|work | "-R" alone seems not sufficient, "-R -J" warns about possible mismatch | 15:38 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r131 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (3 files in 3 dirs): | 15:52 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: Replace reference to 'Ubuntu Linux' with the correct title for the | 15:52 |

| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r132 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (debian/changelog generate-pot-files.sh): Clean up generate-pot-files.sh. Don't generate a pot for index.html. | 16:01 |
| yann|work | oh, -r not -R, that may be the problem | 16:02 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r133 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/README: Merge with trunk. | 16:02 |
| yann|work | hm, probably -l too in my case | 16:03 |
| yann|work | thx | 16:03 |

| mterry | superm1, ping about myth bug in my plugins branch | 16:57 |
| superm1 | mterry, pong | 16:57 |
| mterry | superm1, so I ran last night's myth iso. I'm seeing the 'ready to install' page, then the progress bar, then the progress window went away and I didn't see another page. Did I miss something/did ubiquity crash? | 16:59 |
| superm1 | mterry, so last night's myth iso is a misnomer | 16:59 |
| superm1 | its livefs is old | 16:59 |
| superm1 | because of ttf-bitstream-vera issues | 16:59 |
| superm1 | you'll need to update mythbuntu-common | 16:59 |
| mterry | superm1, ah, whoops | 16:59 |
| mterry | superm1, I can do that from the livecd? | 16:59 |
| superm1 | yup | 16:59 |
| superm1 | just apt-get update/ apt-get install mythbuntu-common | 16:59 |
| superm1 | and you'll get the new one that works with current ubiquity's | 17:00 |
| mterry | superm1, so the intention is that after the progress bar there's a final page? | 17:00 |
| superm1 | mterry, yeah, that myth setup page shows up after install because it runs inside the install's chroot | 17:00 |
| superm1 | so that after reboot everything is functional | 17:01 |
| mterry | superm1, OK, makes sense | 17:01 |
| superm1 | currently it's showing up before the progress bar, and then again after the progress bar since it's recognized as a normal plugin | 17:01 |
| mterry | superm1, it just wants to make sure! | 17:01 |
| mterry | :) | 17:01 |
| superm1 | hehe | 17:02 |
| superm1 | i just uploaded a whole slew of fixes that Daviey has been working on for the themes that should solve all the bitstream vera stuff. so whenever that clears NEW, live disks should start generating again | 17:02 |
| Daviey | \o/ | 18:24 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity: mterry * r3359 plugins/ubiquity/ (7 files in 2 dirs): fix mythbuntu setup screen by allowing plugins that don't serve pages and by adding a is_install flag to some plugins | 20:41 |
| mterry | evand, superm1, I updated my plugin branch to fix mythbuntu | 20:42 |
| mterry | evand, I didn't merge from trunk, figuring it would be a waste to redo it, so hopefully it's easy for you to pull in my latest patch ontop of your merged branch | 20:48 |
| superm1 | mterry, cool, thanks. that looks like it should take care of it nicely | 21:05 |
| superm1 | i'll keep looking through for anything else that stands out and let you know if I come across anything else | 21:06 |
| mterry | superm1, cool, thanks | 21:06 |
| davmor2 | xivulon, evand: only optiond I get on wubi on unr is Demo and full install and learn more. There is no install inside windows | 21:58 |
| davmor2 | trying kne | 21:58 |
| davmor2 | evand: also usb-creator for windows say "Internal error: Cannot find python26.dll" | 22:05 |
| davmor2 | evand, xivulon: same goes for kne only demo/full install and learn more | 22:14 |
| davmor2 | I'm still running updates on xp but by now it can't be that far behind an up-to-date install | 22:26 |
