shtylmandavmor2: can I get a screenshot for that bug you filed against kubuntu frontend?12:59
davmor2shtylman: I'll have a go at getting after for you12:59
* shtylman does not compute....13:00
nomedhi all13:03
nomedwhat's the d-i component that allowes to use static network ?13:03
nomedi'd need to allow static network in ubiquity13:03
evandnomed: netcfg.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html#preseed-network13:14
evandoh, I misread13:14
evandnomed: it is not possible at the moment to configure static networking via preseeding in ubiquity.13:15
evanderr configure networking at all using preseeding in ubiquity*13:16
evandbut if you're just after static networking, you can just append some lines to /etc/network/interfaces the ubiquity/success_command debconf key.13:17
evandhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation lists the ubiquity-specific debconf keys13:18
nomedevand, i was trying to find the best way to patch it13:20
nomedadding an ubiquity step13:21
nomedlike: Configure Network13:21
evandnomed: there's already a netcfg component in ubiquity, it's just currently only used for the debconf frontend to oem-config13:21
evandubiquity/components/network.py in ubiquity bzr trunk13:22
nomedevand, perfect thanks13:22
nomedi 'm going to check it13:22
evandnomed: sure thing, apologies for the confusion13:22
davmor2evand: sorry for the delay bloody thing is so slow at updating it's unreal.  http://www.davmor2.co.uk/wubi-9.10-rev147.log13:45
evanddavmor2: permission denied13:46
davmor2bugger try again13:46
davmor2I forget that just cause I can see it doesn't necessarily mean everyone else can :)13:47
davmor2evand: that logs both I thing13:47
davmor2think even13:47
evandvery odd, it says it found the CD just fine.  I'll have to download a copy of the iso and test locally13:49
davmor2evand: also the windows usb-creator.exe file throws up internal error: couldn't find pyhton26.dll13:52
* evand raises an eyebrow.13:53
evandwhat version of Windows is this?13:53
davmor2xp on a netbook13:53
davmor2sp2 now 3 and still updating13:54
davmor2evand: I'll try again once it is fully up-to-date13:54
davmor2it just takes so long13:54
nomedevand, quick question14:10
nomedin case i want to use netcfg14:10
nomedshould i preseed some debconf question ?14:10
evandnomed: I'm a bit confused by your question.  Ubiquity operates by running each d-i component until certain questions (as defined by the questions variable in each component) are asked (the run() function in each component), then breaks into the UI, until control returns back to it (ok_handler() in each component), which feeds the UI data back in the form of answers to the debconf questions.14:13
evandperhaps I led you down the wrong path a bit by pointing you at the netcfg component as it stands, as it's a fairly special case14:14
evandany of the other components should serve as a suitable guide14:14
evand(note this is going to become much easier to do once we merge the plugins branch)14:14
evandor at least more clear14:14
nomedevand, i get what you mean14:17
nomedi've never dived that much on d-i14:17
nomedbut i know ubiquity very well14:17
nomedin netcfg-wrapper component14:18
nomedi see :14:18
nomed/usr/lib/ubiquity/netcfg/netcfg14:18
evand(for what it's worth, that code currently lives in ~mterry/ubiquity/plugins, and is going to be merged, pending a thumbs up from the other ubiquity developers and approval from the Ubuntu release team)14:18
nomeddoes that ask debconf the stuff it needs ?14:18
evandright, the build d-i components live in /usr/lib/ubiquity (they're in d-i/source in bzr)14:19
evandbuilt*14:19
nomedyep14:19
evandso yes14:19
nomedwhere can i find the debconf entries i should set before to use it ?14:20
nomedonly from source code ?14:20
evandnomed: that's probably the best way to familiarize yourself with what is going on14:20
nomedok14:20
nomedthanks again for your availability evand14:20
evandnomed: sure thing14:20
=== robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew
davmor2shtylman: http://www.davmor2.co.uk/kub-part.jpg sorry about the size I needed to take it with my camera cause print-screen doesn't link to the snapshot app in kub14:39
evanddavmor2: ah, you didn't mention you were running this off a usb disk.  I suspect therein lies the bug.14:41
* evand digs further14:41
davmor2cjwatson: I'm getting Configure grub-pc on alternate, should this be so?14:49
cjwatsonnope14:57
cjwatsonwell14:57
cjwatsonprobably not :)14:57
cjwatsonmight just need to tweak grub-installer14:58
davmor2cjwatson: I get 3 screens of it, 1 check the grub-pc at /boot.... or use kopt for legacy, 2 extentions to the kernel line, 3 what drive to put it on15:01
cjwatsonok, please file a bug on grub215:10
cjwatson1 and 2 are due to grub2, 3 is actually something grub-installer will need to change to fix, I think15:12
=== robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk
xivulonhi evand, replied to your email15:47
evandindeed, I already cooked up a patch for the squashfs fix, but I figured it might be more worthwhile to fix the underlying problem15:48
evandthanks for the reply!15:49
xivulonit would be less of a problem if the squashfs was used in live mode directly instead of installing from it... ...but then we'd lose migration15:49
xivulonI mean with a persistance file15:49
xivulonIt would be interesting to see if we can avoid bind mounting /boot,  that woudl make things a lot tidier15:50
=== robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew
xivulonif I can make my grub2 working I will have a go this w/e15:50
evandgood deal15:51
xivulonby the way, I noticed that there is a grub2 module that spits out UUIDs15:52
xivulonFor the migration tool, could we add that to a ppa version of USB creator? Overriding the ubiquity version on the ISO?15:54
davmor2cjwatson: you know on encrypted lvm should it still have the old usplash?15:56
xivulonevand one other thing was to fix lupin to allow for software raids15:57
xivulon^ The Muso15:57
evandxivulon: is there an open bug for that?15:57
xivulonI think there is one, will have to digg15:58
evandxivulon: we could always remaster a CD and stick it up on people.ubuntu.com15:58
cjwatsondavmor2: old usplash?15:58
xivulonevand #20674615:59
xivulonevand that will do!15:59
xivulonthe remastered CD15:59
davmor2cjwatson: the one with the flasher that goes from left to right rather than the new one that bobs up and down16:00
xivulonAh also not sure if the accessibility page is still in line with the CD version16:00
xivulon^ TheMuso16:00
cjwatsonI believe that xsplash is generally not yet plumbed in as a complete replacement for usplash, so yes, you'll get both at the moment16:00
cjwatsonthis is not intended to be the final state16:00
cjwatsonwe need Scott's work on Upstart migration first16:01
davmor2cjwatson: ah okay so that is xsplash then now I know :)16:01
xivulonOne last thing, is that the usability team made some GUI suggestions, mostly involving a reordering of the page elements and new artwork, should not affect functionality16:02
davmor2cjwatson: So I'll start panicking after a616:02
evandxivulon: fantastic16:03
CIA-33debian-installer: cjwatson * r1142 ubuntu/ (build/config/armel/dove.cfg debian/changelog): bump dove ABI version to 2.6.31-20217:22
mpthmmm, <http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/08/migrationassistant_01.png> reminds me of something17:23
CIA-33debian-installer: cjwatson * r1143 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20081029ubuntu5517:28
davmor2cjwatson, evand: Got an issue with a unr install I'm getting Errno 5 error17:46
cjwatsonI have to go, sorry17:46
davmor2cjwatson: no probs17:46
cjwatsonerrno 5 is EIO, I/O error17:46
cjwatsonbut errnos are the bottom level of error reporting and usually need context :)17:47
davmor2cjwatson: standard log files on the report then?   Anything else that might be useful?  P.s xp just did a fresh fat format on it17:48
cjwatsonstandard logs I guess17:48
davmor2others are having the same issue but running on d-i so they get more info I'll ask them to add it too17:49
davmor2thanks have a nice weekend17:49
cjwatsonplease ask them to file separate bugs, that's a very generic error17:52
cjwatsondavmor2: could be anywhere, and could be radically different causes17:53
cjwatsonso please don't encourage them to pile into the same bug :)17:53
davmor2wilko17:54
CIA-33ubiquity: mterry * r3406 trunk/ (6 files in 4 dirs): add venezuela timezone; fix 2nd click not cycling cities; add mexico/us invisible timezone border18:29
CIA-33ubiquity: mterry * r3407 trunk/debian/changelog: add texas bug number to my previous changelog, whoops19:12
cr3do I need to preseed anything in particular to avoid the prompt: do you want to resume partitionning?20:34
