wgrantWhy does the karmic RC i386 desktop Ubiquity tell me that it will spend 20 (fluctuating) minutes downloading langpacks? It's just English...04:27

TheMusoevand: did you not have a partman-base change to make, and get included in ubiquity as well?09:26
TheMusoYes there are the changes Colin made the other day, but he also said another change to partman-base was also pending...09:27
evandwhich change was this?09:27
TheMusocjwatson and I were working on fixing up compilation issues re powerpc for partman-base and e2fsprogs. Colin also said that there was another partman-base change pending.09:28
TheMusoI may have misread however.09:29
TheMusoIn any case, there is a partman-base change that we need to upload, as I don't think it would make sense to have 2 ubiquity uploads, unless there is another one planned before we freeze.09:29
evandthere's another one likely09:45
evandI've already uploaded 2.0.3 anyway09:45
TheMusook09:50
TheMusoIf cjwatson hasn't pushed partman-base/e2fsprogs by my tomorrow afternoon, I'll upload the fixes for those packages... Unless your ubiquity upload will be sooner than that.09:51
evandah, I had in my head that Colin was still away on vacation today, but apparently not09:55
evandgood deal09:55
evandTheMuso: I'll check with you and cjwatson before uploading ubiquity, to be sure we have all the powerpc fixes in.09:57
evandcjwatson: is keeping the generic kernel when using pae in ubiquity by design?  bzr blame seems to suggest this.10:38
evandah ha!10:46
evandnevermind :)10:46
evandcjwatson: does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/299708/ look okay to you?11:42
evandthere's also the problem of self.kernel_version not getting set properly in scripts/install.py, but it's not as simple as expanded the regex.11:44

cjwatsonI'll upload partman-base nowish14:14
cjwatsonTheMuso: if you could go ahead and upload e2fsprogs, I'd appreciate it14:14
cjwatsonevand: thanks so much for sorting out that PAE bug14:15
CIA-33partman-base: cjwatson * r171 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 133ubuntu414:15
evandno worries14:15
evandI'm still working through one last bit (self.kernel_version not being set properly).  I have an ugly patch, just trying to make less ugly.14:16
cjwatsonevand: 299708> the running kernel will always be generic, so would that actually help?14:17
evandcjwatson: see my patch at 11:42 - it's leaving linux-image-2.6.31-*-generic on there14:18
evandwell, not leaving14:18
evandbut reinstalling, by apt-installing it14:18
evandso it gets removed, and then added back14:18
evandapologies for poorly wording that in my bug comment14:23
cjwatsonevand: oh, I see your point, but that patch alone won't take care of it. the if on line 62 will fire14:25
cjwatsonthere is definitely a bug there but I think the fix is trickier than that14:25
evandcjwatson: are you sure?  the if on line 57 should be false.14:27
evandand it indeed worked in my testing14:27
evand(with the patch added, that is)14:27
evandhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/299783/ is what I'm working on for the other part of the problem, but I obviously need to have it walk more than just the first branch.14:32
cjwatsonoh, I see14:41
cjwatsonyeah, I think you're right14:42
cjwatsonevand: looks like the right approach, yes14:43
evandcool14:43
evandhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/299795/ just testing that in an install, then I'll commit and upload, then ask Jerone to test15:03
cjwatsonevand: shouldn't that be a method, really?15:13
cjwatsonI know it doesn't really need it but it's sort of odd to have a non-method function there15:13
evandcjwatson: ah, just a bad copy and paste job15:14

cjwatsonI've been on holiday15:41
cjwatsonthis sounds like it needs a kernel guy to investigate15:41
Nivexfigured as much when you weren't on for awhile15:41
cjwatsonshouldn't be possible for tasks to hang that way15:41
cjwatsonI'd recommend asking #ubuntu-kernel15:41
NivexI imagine it is if your filesystem isn't there anymore15:42
cjwatsonerr15:42
cjwatsonoh, are network interfaces being fiddled with around that time?15:42
cjwatsonin that case this needs Keybuk :)15:42
cjwatsonor is the problem that the act of starting iscsid breaks things?15:42
Nivexseems like that's an awful possibility15:43
NivexI get the sense we might not be able to get this done in time :-//15:44
NivexCan you at least move the bug along in the process and I can try to help test this weekend15:44
Nivex?15:44
NivexI'm in the midst of a conference at $WORK.  I'll try to pop back in later.15:45

cjwatsonnever mind that bit, it already was20:29
evandindeed, that's what had prompted me to start a ubiquity upload :)20:29
cody-somervillecjwatson, why would ubiquity not install oem-config when oem-config/enabled is definitely preseeded to true and ubiquity is definitely running in oem mode.20:32
cjwatsonit's oem-config/enable not oem-config/enabled20:33
cjwatsonI assume that's a typo though. I don't know, do you have a log?20:34
cody-somervilleyup20:38
cody-somervillereviewing it now20:38
cody-somervillecjwatson, grepping oem I don't see any reference to oem-config - just the oem user setup20:51
cody-somerville(and oem-config/enable in the kernel command line)20:52
cody-somervillealso, ubiquity just crashes and the desktop comes up if you set a blank password. I'll file a bug about that.20:54
