[00:39] <superm1> TheMuso, set cia_send_revno per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installer/Development
[01:00] <TheMuso> superm1: Yeah I know, forgot to after a fresh format/install

[08:36] <davmor2> Morning All
[09:25] <CIA-33> ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r162 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (7 files in 5 dirs): Add an Ubuntu One slide.
[09:26] <CIA-33> ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r163 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Freeze exception (LP: #447383).
[10:47] <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
[10:58] <davmor2> evand: man you have weird thoughts.   I'm thinking things like what we having for dinner ;)
[13:55] <kim0> Hi folks .. is there a d-i value to control booting degraded raid ?
[14:38] <cr3> hi folks, I seem to be encountering strange problems installing today's desktop image on a few systems:
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <cr3> might it be possible that there's a race condition somewhere that's causing unpredictable behavior?
[14:52] <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
[14:56] <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> ...
[16:18]  * evand wonders out loud if we would gain anything by walking /rofs in the background while the user answers questions.
[16:23] <cjwatson> it's certainly the source of a big delay for no obvious reason ...
[17:18] <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.
[18:06] <Zelut> I need to define the DNS server(s) in my preseed config at PXE. Can anyone tell me what the syntax is?
[21:34] <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] <cjwatson> dholbert: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess probably best
[21:34] <cjwatson> dholbert: or actually
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <dholbert> ah, cool
[21:36] <cjwatson> but it's end-of-day for me
[21:36] <dholbert> Ok
[21:39] <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] <dholbert> rather than filing a new bug
[22:52] <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.
[22:53] <CIA-33> ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r167 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Add LP bug reference for the previous commit.
[23:27] <dholbert> evand: yay, thanks for committing that patch!
[23:28] <evand> dholbert: thanks for writing it
[23:28] <dholbert> no prob, twas easy :)
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <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
[23:32] <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.
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <evand> haha indeed
[23:53] <evand> is there a bug number for this?
[23:53] <dholbert> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434413
[23:54] <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 :-/
