| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r162 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (7 files in 5 dirs): Add an Ubuntu One slide. | 09:25 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r163 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Freeze exception (LP: #447383). | 09:26 |
| evand | hrm, I'm not sure I can clear swap partitions in a finish-install script, as the root directory is not passed to finish-install scripts, so this wouldn't work for the oem-config case. | 10:47 |
| evand | just thinking out loud | 10:47 |
| davmor2 | evand: man you have weird thoughts. I'm thinking things like what we having for dinner ;) | 10:58 |
| kim0 | Hi folks .. is there a d-i value to control booting degraded raid ? | 13:55 |
| cr3 | hi folks, I seem to be encountering strange problems installing today's desktop image on a few systems: | 14:38 |
| cr3 | I tried installing i386 on a few systems and one system installed just fine while the others just had a flickering screen | 14:39 |
| cr3 | I then tried installing amd64 on the same systems and one of the systems that flickered installed just fine but the others were flickering, including the one that installed fine before | 14:39 |
| cr3 | might it be possible that there's a race condition somewhere that's causing unpredictable behavior? | 14:40 |
| cjwatson | cr3: I don't have a direct answer as I haven't seen this myself, but race conditions can arise from incorrect conditions in upstart jobs | 14:52 |
| cr3 | I should have a video camera in my lab to showcase these situations and I could get dressed as Vanna White | 14:56 |
| cjwatson | ... | 14:56 |
| * evand wonders out loud if we would gain anything by walking /rofs in the background while the user answers questions. | 16:18 | |
| cjwatson | it's certainly the source of a big delay for no obvious reason ... | 16:23 |
| evand | we have a few bugs whereby the installer is bailing out in what looks like partman_commit (442560, 445756, 441709, 448252, 440922). I'm going to see if teaching parted_server to talk directly to syslog gets us any further along tomorrow. | 17:18 |
| Zelut | I need to define the DNS server(s) in my preseed config at PXE. Can anyone tell me what the syntax is? | 18:06 |
| dholbert | cjwatson, how do I request review (or get approval, or whatever) on the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu patch that I've posted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pywebkitgtk/+bug/434413 ? | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] | 21:34 |
| cjwatson | dholbert: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess probably best | 21:34 |
| cjwatson | dholbert: or actually | 21:34 |
| cjwatson | dholbert: just catch evand during European working hours? | 21:35 |
| dholbert | cjwatson, ok -- is he the man behind that package? | 21:35 |
| cjwatson | should probably open a new task on the Ubuntu ubiquity package, since it really is still a bug in pywebkitgtk as well | 21:35 |
| dholbert | Yeah, ok | 21:35 |
| cjwatson | dholbert: both evand and I are | 21:35 |
| dholbert | ah, cool | 21:36 |
| cjwatson | but it's end-of-day for me | 21:36 |
| dholbert | Ok | 21:36 |
| dholbert | cjwatson, mind if I un-dupe the duplicate bug, and make that the one for adding a workaround in the slideshow? | 21:39 |
| dholbert | cjwatson, dupe is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/448703 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 448703 in ubiquity "Installer crashs when dragging the slideshow icons (dup-of: 434413)" [Undecided,New] | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] | 21:39 |
| dholbert | rather than filing a new bug | 21:39 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r166 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (debian/changelog slides/link/general.css): Made images in slideshow non-draggable to work around pywebkitgtk crash. | 22:52 |
| CIA-33 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r167 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Add LP bug reference for the previous commit. | 22:53 |
| dholbert | evand: yay, thanks for committing that patch! | 23:27 |
| evand | dholbert: thanks for writing it | 23:28 |
| dholbert | no prob, twas easy :) | 23:28 |
| dholbert | The pywebkitgtk crash is very strange -- from playing around with different testcases, it looks like it specifically crashes on rectangular (non-square) PNG files | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | dholbert: BTW, it's not relevant now, but I didn't actually mean that you needed a new bug - it's possible to mark single bugs in LP as affecting more than one package. See the "Also affects distribution" link | 23:29 |
| dholbert | cjwatson, ah, ok -- good to know. thanks | 23:30 |
| dholbert | RE the pywebkitgtk crash -- it doesn't crash on the Firefox slide, for instance, because the firefox image is a square | 23:30 |
| dholbert | and if I resize the ubuntu image to be square, it doesn't crash on that, either | 23:30 |
| dholbert | but if I make it a rectangle (even a small rectangle), it crashes | 23:30 |
| dholbert | Anyway, hopefully the pywebkitgtk guys will figure that one out. Good that we can easily disable it here, to stave off one method of self-foot-shooting during installation. | 23:32 |
| evand | dholbert: the firefox image is a special case | 23:51 |
| dholbert | evand, right -- _because_ it's square, is what I'm saying | 23:51 |
| dholbert | evand, (at least, as far as not crashing goes) | 23:51 |
| evand | well I mean that it's handled differently than the other images | 23:51 |
| dholbert | right | 23:51 |
| evand | okay | 23:52 |
| dholbert | *right, I guess it's a special case in multiple senses. :) but the one that matters for not crashing is that it's square | 23:52 |
| evand | haha indeed | 23:53 |
| evand | is there a bug number for this? | 23:53 |
| dholbert | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434413 | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] | 23:53 |
| evand | ah, indeed | 23:54 |
| evand | just wanted to be sure of the context | 23:54 |
| evand | as there are a number of webkit bugs :-/ | 23:54 |
