[00:39] TheMuso, set cia_send_revno per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installer/Development [01:00] superm1: Yeah I know, forgot to after a fresh format/install [01:01] /c [08:36] Morning All [09:25] ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r162 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (7 files in 5 dirs): Add an Ubuntu One slide. [09:26] ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r163 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Freeze exception (LP: #447383). [10:47] 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] just thinking out loud [10:58] evand: man you have weird thoughts. I'm thinking things like what we having for dinner ;) [13:55] Hi folks .. is there a d-i value to control booting degraded raid ? [14:38] hi folks, I seem to be encountering strange problems installing today's desktop image on a few systems: [14:39] I tried installing i386 on a few systems and one system installed just fine while the others just had a flickering screen [14:39] 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] might it be possible that there's a race condition somewhere that's causing unpredictable behavior? [14:52] 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] I should have a video camera in my lab to showcase these situations and I could get dressed as Vanna White [14:56] ... [16:18] * evand wonders out loud if we would gain anything by walking /rofs in the background while the user answers questions. [16:23] it's certainly the source of a big delay for no obvious reason ... [17:18] 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] I need to define the DNS server(s) in my preseed config at PXE. Can anyone tell me what the syntax is? [21:34] 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] Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] [21:34] dholbert: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess probably best [21:34] dholbert: or actually [21:35] dholbert: just catch evand during European working hours? [21:35] cjwatson, ok -- is he the man behind that package? [21:35] should probably open a new task on the Ubuntu ubiquity package, since it really is still a bug in pywebkitgtk as well [21:35] Yeah, ok [21:35] dholbert: both evand and I are [21:36] ah, cool [21:36] but it's end-of-day for me [21:36] Ok [21:39] cjwatson, mind if I un-dupe the duplicate bug, and make that the one for adding a workaround in the slideshow? [21:39] cjwatson, dupe is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/448703 [21:39] Launchpad bug 448703 in ubiquity "Installer crashs when dragging the slideshow icons (dup-of: 434413)" [Undecided,New] [21:39] Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] [21:39] rather than filing a new bug [22:52] 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] ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r167 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: Add LP bug reference for the previous commit. [23:27] evand: yay, thanks for committing that patch! [23:28] dholbert: thanks for writing it [23:28] no prob, twas easy :) [23:29] 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] 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] cjwatson, ah, ok -- good to know. thanks [23:30] RE the pywebkitgtk crash -- it doesn't crash on the Firefox slide, for instance, because the firefox image is a square [23:30] and if I resize the ubuntu image to be square, it doesn't crash on that, either [23:30] but if I make it a rectangle (even a small rectangle), it crashes [23:32] 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] dholbert: the firefox image is a special case [23:51] evand, right -- _because_ it's square, is what I'm saying [23:51] evand, (at least, as far as not crashing goes) [23:51] well I mean that it's handled differently than the other images [23:51] right [23:52] okay [23:52] *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] haha indeed [23:53] is there a bug number for this? [23:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434413 [23:53] Launchpad bug 434413 in pywebkitgtk "Dragging from the installer Webkit widget crashes Ubiquity" [Medium,Triaged] [23:54] ah, indeed [23:54] just wanted to be sure of the context [23:54] as there are a number of webkit bugs :-/
