cjwatsondavmor2: yep, installer syslog; let me just check that the logging fix is in09:46
cjwatsonyeah, it's there09:46
cjwatsonUbuntu desktop anyway09:46
davmor2right I'll just wait for the dl script to finish it's job and drop it on for you :)09:48
CIA-33ubiquity: evand * r3469 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py):10:02
CIA-33ubiquity: Open a browser window when links are clicked on in the slideshow10:02
CIA-33ubiquity: (LP: #432145).10:02
davmor2cjwatson: right added /var/log/installer/syslog to the report11:34
CIA-33usb-creator: evand * r217 trunk/ (5 files in 4 dirs):12:02
CIA-33usb-creator: * Re-enable the format button now that Devicekit-disks 007 has been12:02
CIA-33usb-creator:  released.12:02
CIA-33usb-creator: * Depend on DeviceKit-disks >= 007.12:02
cjwatsondavmor2: gah, no more information there. this is incredibly frustrating12:03
cjwatsondavmor2: os-prober *is* installed after reboot for you, isn't it?12:04
davmor2cjwatson: is there a way to capture during install?12:04
cjwatsondavmor2: I'm already trying everything I can think of remotely ...12:04
cjwatsonI mean, if I were sitting in front of your machine ... :)12:04
davmor2cjwatson: ii os-prober  1.3312:05
cjwatsonyeah, thought so. it isn't for alternate installs - that's fixed in bzr12:05
cjwatsonhmm, might as well upload that I guess12:05
davmor2cjwatson: if you want I can drop vista on fresh boot up the livecd and open up ssh for you12:08
evandcjwatson: do you think this is too hideous a fix http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/275179/ ?12:10
cjwatsondavmor2: that would be very kind12:11
davmor2cjwatson: be about 20 minutes I'll ping you12:11
cjwatsonthough I don't know that you need to reinstall vista, unless you've already nuked it12:11
evandwhoops12:11
evandI should've tested that first12:11
cjwatsonevand: user-setup-apply doesn't use db_progress right now, so there's no progress bar to contain that12:12
evandah12:13
cjwatsonevand: I think I'd recommend working out in advance how many devices need to be cleared (i.e. doing everything up to the swapoff and keeping a list), then starting a progress bar of that length and doing INFO/STEP for each one12:13
evandokay12:14
cjwatsonhmm, well, d-i doesn't really do nested progress bars12:14
cjwatsonI wonder how to make that work12:14
cjwatsonthat would make my suggestion difficult12:15
cjwatsonhave you considered just making it a separate finish-install script with its own title?12:15
evandindeed, I was just going to suggest that12:15
evandseems cleaner anyway12:15
cjwatsonyou wouldn't be able to do internal progress, but it would make it clearedr what's going on12:15
evandirssi seems to be sending the delete key for you12:16
evandI saw: cleared[0x7f]r what's going on12:17
cjwatsonyes, local network lag12:24
evandah12:27
cjwatsonpossibly plus slow machine where I'm running irssi, not quite sure12:27
cjwatsonwireless networking for the loss though12:28
evandheh12:30

rgreeningevand: yay! James Bond to the rescue - new devicekit-disks :)14:09
evandheh14:09
rgreening007 :)14:10
evandI'm pretty sure there's a race in job-mkfs.c in devicekit-disks that shows up every now and again for me, but its cause has eluded me thusfar14:11
rgreeningwell, we now have format... translations cleaned up, etc... I think that takes care of most of the nasty bits in creator evand14:11
rgreeninghmm... never notices the race...14:11
* evand pages through his notebook14:11
evandstill need to sort out the remaining time estimate being wildly off in its guesses14:12
evand(should just be a matter of tweaking the parameters)14:12
* rgreening removed the time counter... superfluous imo.. use the bar only...14:12
rgreeningin KDE ver...14:12
evandah14:12
rgreening:)14:12
evandneed to go through the rest of the bugs and see what's still applicable14:13
rgreeningwe have text messages describing whats happening...14:13
rgreeningso the time countdown really isn't necessary.. Id remove it14:13
evandoh and make sure we're unmounting the ISO and stopping usb-creator-helper in all failure cases14:13
rgreeningya. thats important.14:14
rgreeningI'll follow your lead and make the kde changes14:14
evandoh and *maybe* have it only display parent block devices if no children are present or a disk image is selected14:14
rgreeningYES!14:14
* rgreening thinks that would be consistant!14:14
evandand make sure the UI is working correctly (the right things are disabled and enabled given each circumstance)14:15
rgreeningIm pretty sure the KDE one is in at this point...14:15
evandcool14:15
rgreeningYeah, I tested that pretty rigourously early on14:15
rgreeningunless you notice something I missed :)14:16
rgreeninghah14:16
evandI'd like to get the unit test framework updated and actually working again, but that can be done between the 9.10 release and the opening of 10.0414:16
rgreeningsure. not a showstopper for sure14:16
rgreeningit would be nice to have this before starting usb-creator-console :)14:17
rgreeningha14:17
evand:)14:17
rgreeningevand: Im writing the wiki spec page now...14:17
evandawesome14:18
rgreeningevand: then I need to write another spec I am thinking of... I'll fill you in later. you may be interested in it.14:18
evandI'm keen to finally get add/remove programs (well, software-store now) support finally done in 10.414:19
evandsure14:20
rgreeningevand: I'd like a KDE front-end. Maybe we can work together on that?14:20
rgreeningthat would be another spec :)14:20
rgreeninghah14:20
evandoh absolutely, it's nearly entirely in the backend14:20
rgreeningAWESOME!14:21
evandthe only frontend part is the name of the binary it needs to call in the chroot it creates14:21
* rgreening will write a spec.. 14:21
rgreeningevand: got a spec for the software store add/remove programs?14:21
rgreeningbrb14:22
evandno, but it's fairly straightforward14:26
evandactually, I stand corrected14:29
evandI did create a specification for it https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/usb-creator/+spec/add-remove-applications14:29
rgreeningawesome.14:44
rgreeningevand: finished this wiki entry... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/LucidUsbCreatorConsole14:45
rgreeningevand: whats the equivalent of gnome-app-install in kde? any ideas?14:47
* rgreening doesn't think one exists exactly...14:47
rgreeningat least not anymore...14:47
davmor2rgreening: kpackagekit ;)14:48
rgreeninglol14:48
rgreeningnot quite....14:48
evandI imagine someone will create a kde frontend to software-store14:49
rgreeningevand: that's what I was hoping to help or do...14:49
evandrgreening: mvo and mpt would be the people to talk to14:49
rgreeningevand: ok. ty14:49
rgreeningmpt, mvo: can we chat about software-store and kde frontend?14:50
mptevand, software-store support for what?14:51
evandmpt: ^ a kde frontend14:51
evandrgreening: mvo isn't in this channel, but he is in #ubuntu-devel14:52
* rgreening just noticed that14:52
mptevand, you use KDE??14:53
evandGOD NO.14:53
evandI played that game once.  I lost.14:53
* mpt wipes brow14:53
evandhaha14:54
rgreeninghey... dont dis the K hahaha14:54
rgreening:)14:54
evand:)14:56
evandhrm, GDM and oem-config still aren't playing nice.15:35
davmor2evand: does it play nice with kdm or is that a silly question and I should just move on?15:38
evandno idea15:57
Hypnozhas anyone been able to pxe boot jaunty livecd or any other livecd?18:36

rgreeningevand: are you releasing 0.2.7 with format option, or waiting to resolve some of the points we discussed earlier? Might be nice to get 0.2.7 out for testing to more people with format...19:37
davmor2kirkland: Never done a patch and I don't code.  But I can gladly look at rewording the text for you.20:34
