ogracjwatson, evand, so i'm trying to fix Bug #422101, would you see it as a prob to do the bindmounting of /dev generally in chroot_setup/_cleanup to solve the missing /dev/mmcblk0 issue in the update-initramfs trigger at the end ?10:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 422101 in initramfs-tools "initramfs-tools package seems to fail postinstall on armel" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42210110:47
cjwatsonI haven't checked context but that's probably OK10:48
cjwatsondo run a full test if you can though - I vaguely recall there was some reason I didn't do it that way originally10:48
cjwatsonbut that reason may well be obsolete10:49
ogracontext is that in do_remove /dev isnt mounted, update-inbitramfs calls flash-kernel and tries to access /dev/mmcblk0 from its postinst trigger at the very end of the package removals10:49
ograwill do10:50
dpmcjwatson: I still hadn't disabled the oem-config translation template in karmic and I'm going to do it now. I assume this won't disturb the work you were doing in merging the translations (I think you were doing this and uploading them with lp-translation-tools last week), but if it does, just give me a shout.11:02
cjwatsondpm: oh, can I just quickly download those first?11:04
cjwatsonI only copied debian-installer over11:04
cjwatsonI've requested the download, will let you know when it's arrived11:04
dpmcjwatson: sure, just ping me when you are ready and I'll disable it only then.11:06
cjwatsondpm: go for it now; I haven't yet decided whether it's worth migrating those translations but the action is mine11:13
dpmcjwatson: ok, I'll disable it then. Thanks11:31
dpmok, done. In any case, I think being part of the rosetta administrators you can still export the template through the URL -> https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/oem-config/+pots/oem-config/+export in case you need to.11:34
cjwatsondpm: uploaded now11:35
cjwatson(to ubiquity/+pots/ubiquity-desktop)11:35
dpmah, great, thanks11:36
xivulonmorning cjwatson, evand1, made a couple of comments this w/e please see ^^11:39
cjwatsonxivulon: yeah, I saw :)11:40
cjwatsonxivulon: hostboot is gone in bzr; grub2 test patch on grub-devel and in 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu111:41
xivulonwon't be missed :)11:41
cjwatsonindeed not11:41
xivulonthanks for the test patch! It would be difficult to show panic messages without that.11:42
CIA-33partman-auto-loop: cjwatson * r52 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 0ubuntu1711:43
xivulonthere is a bit of work to hook in lupin-support.grub-install and lupin-support.grub.d, I just dropped the files in there at the moment11:44
xivulonfeel free to shuffle things around, but those 2 work for me at the moment11:44
xivulonI will have to change the CD extraction mechanism again within wubi, so that files are copied instead of using an image, that should work now11:46
xivulonevand1, that means that we can also support usb keys in wubi, except that we must be careful about what files are copied11:46
xivulonin fact in the case of usb, we might want to be able to skip the copying stage altogether...11:48
evand1why would we want to use Wubi on a USB disk?  I'm not seeing the use case.11:48
xivulonah I think wubi is on a usb stick, and it fails if people try to run it from there11:48
xivulonso basically it is a matter of allowing people to use the usb stick as a medium for a wubi-type installation11:49
xivulonthere is a bug about it11:49
evand1ohh11:50
evand1gotcha11:50
xivulonevand bug #29900111:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 299001 in wubi "Wubi re-downloads ISO when started from USB stick" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29900111:51
evand1thanks11:51
xivulonI will look this week sometime11:51
xivulonby the way cjwatson, it would be nice to move your loopmount patch in the init-tools scripts local to lupin-support, so that lupin-support becomes self-contained11:53
cjwatsonI'm not going to touch that until after Keybuk's boot rearrangements land11:54
cjwatsonI'm not entirely convinced though - the problem with doing that in lupin-support is that it would have to duplicate quite a bit from initramfs-tools11:54
xivulonsure it is, wishilist stuff11:54
cjwatsonI'd actually prefer lupin-support to get smaller not bigger ...11:54
xivulonmain reason to make it self-contained, is to make it easier for debian to adopt11:56
cjwatsonIME Debian prefer to adopt things that integrate well with Debian11:58
cjwatsonwhich I actually think is closer to the strategy of changing things where they ought to be changed rather than delivering a package that overrides a bunch of random stuff11:59
cjwatsontargeted patches to initramfs-tools etc. make a lot more sense to me for Debian adoption12:00
xivulonI trust your judjement on this, so forget about the above request12:08
shtylmanevand: I agree that the JS files should be shared. The css and arrow images I would keep separate though as I could forsee that kubuntu decides to change the arrow to oxygen style or change the colors around. I will update my branch with your suggestions and add the kubuntu copyright12:54
evandshtylman: sure, I'm fine with that12:54

cjwatsonogra: use os.path.join in the first hunk, please; but otherwise go ahead and commit that13:15
ograok13:16
cjwatsonos.path.join(self.target, 'dev') - careful 'dev' not '/dev'13:16
cjwatsonoh, also, just for neatness, could you make sure to umount in the reverse order from mount? It probably won't matter here but it may make things less confusing later13:17
ograoh, indeed13:17
ograhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/270850/ is what i'll commit now13:20

rgreeningalso..15:05
rgreening:)15:05
evandI disagree on unmounting the target disk15:05
evandbut yes, I'm aware of usb-creator not unmounting iso images15:06
rgreeningevand: someone pulling out a root mounted stick could be bad no?15:06
evandroot mounted?15:06
evandusb-creator flushes writes before exiting15:06
rgreeningevand: kdesudo runs as root and so the device gets mounted by root15:07
evandI think possibly pulling a mounted usb stick out from under the user would be worse15:07
rgreeningpolicykit would fix I assume...15:07
evandindeed it would15:07
rgreeningwhere are we on policykit evand?15:07
evandI stopped working on it because I was afraid it was getting to involved to land as a bug fix, and moved on to fixing the devicekit formatting bugs15:08
evandbut it's becoming more and more apparent that it's sorely needed15:08
rgreeningyep15:08
evandI'll try to have it sorted by the end of this weekend15:08
