flagg0204im a little confused.  if i wanted to work on a particular piece of the installer, namely the iscsi installation piece, is that part of d-i or the openiscsi package or both.02:43
cody-somervilleflagg0204, the openiscsi package04:40
cody-somervilleflagg0204, d-i is more or less a framework04:40
flagg0204ah i see.  okay that makes things a little easier.04:46
flagg0204so i am assuming i need to check out that package from bzr.....04:47

ubottuLaunchpad bug 400936 in wubi "The uninstaller fails to remove "Ubuntu" from boot.ini" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40093610:05
xivulonlast one I thought it was a bogus report since the relevant code didn't change and didn't have xp to test...10:06
xivulonwe will certainly need to change wubi.exe on ubuntu.com10:06
xivulondavmor2 can you please try to reproduce 468589?10:07
xivulonyou need to install jaunty and upgrade, if so run the shutdown sequence manually until you find the bad command.10:07
xivulonwill try myself tonight, very late for work already....10:08
davmor2xivulon: no probs10:08
xivulonthere are also other fixes up to 168, please double check the relevant bugs are fixed10:09
xivuloncjwatson, am a bit puzzled by #46858911:37
xivulonbut the other way around...11:37
xivulonI was checking umountfs, and noticed: fstab-decode umount -f -r -d $WEAK_MTPTS11:38
xivulonnow, the whole point behind WEAK_MTPTS was to avoid -f (iirc)11:38
xivulonso I am surprised it works at all in karmic11:38
xivulonhmm maybe because we do not have a bindmount there and we have a bindmount when upgrading?11:43
xivulonTheMuso, do you suggest we change the accessiblity page in wubi? (bug #472676)13:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 472676 in wubi "Wubi accessibility options don't make much sense" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/47267613:49
xivulondavmor2:  can you please check whether https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/wubi/ bug/468589/comments/19 helps things?13:51
cjwatsonflagg0204: there are iscsi pieces in hw-detect and partman-iscsi too. It depends exactly what you're working on13:56
cjwatsonxivulon: hmm, not sure, it does seem a bit odd13:58
cjwatson(I'm on-site this week so not looking at the installer much)13:58
davmor2xivulon: will do I'll need to do a fresh upgrade now though :)14:03
xivulondavmor2 you seem to mention that it only occurs on first reboot after upgrade, from other comments it seems to occur all the time after upgrade14:04
davmor2xivulon: not for me only on first reboot after upgrade from then on in it behaves as normal14:05
xivulonweird, do you still end up with a bind mounted boot?14:06
davmor2xivulon: it might be worth asking everyone who has the issue to upload their lspci.  It could be an nvidia or ati upgrade causing x to crash and go no further14:06
davmor2xivulon: hang on firing it up now14:07
xivulonfeel free to comment on the bug :)14:07
davmor2xivulon: will do14:08
xivulonI suspect the -f in umountfs14:08
davmor2xivulon: I've added my mount result to the bug14:11
xivulondavmor so you have a bindmount, is this before or after the upgrade to 9.10?14:14
xivulonif the latter, does it work well if you change umountfs before rebooting?14:15
davmor2xivulon: this is after the upgrade.14:18
davmor2but as I say I've had no issues once I got past the initial reboot.  I will do a fresh upgrade and try again then14:19
xivuloncan you post /etc/init.d/umountfs?14:21
davmor2xivulon: now or after fresh install?14:22
xivulonnow14:22
davmor2xivulon: up14:26
xivulonhmm I have no clue why it works...14:26
xivulonunless umount behaviour has changed14:26
davmor2let me just try it again now it's been off for a while incase of freak behaviour14:26
xivulonyes do a clean installation, before rebooting add set -x to umountfs and umountroot and reboot from terminal14:27
davmor2xivulon: right this time I've left some apps I was using open and now it's failed to reboot14:28
xivulonah that is good14:34
davmor2xivulon: this is weird I'm wondering if it might be a race condition.  If I leave apps open then reboot it fails if I have no apps open it works14:34
xivuloncan you see if it happens without the -f in umountfs?14:35
xivuloncan you post cat /proc/mounts?14:35
xivulonwell first see if you can reproduce it consistently14:36
davmor2/proc/mounts is up14:41
davmor2sorry about this guys but mother-in-law is on her way into hospital so I need to knock off14:42
xivulonsorry to hear that14:46
xivuloncjwatson, I do think that the -f is the issue here14:49
flagg0204cjwatson - specfically the ability to set your initiator name15:32
flagg0204cjwatson - also, the ability to choose what network interface to use for connecting to your target15:32
cjwatsonflagg0204: I certainly intend to fix the first in partman-iscsi15:34
flagg0204cjwatson - oh i see.15:35
cjwatsonflagg0204: probably the same for the second, although that's kind of awkward since d-i really isn't all that good with coping with multiple interfaces right now15:35
cjwatsoncody was mistaken in indicating to you that this was in open-iscsi, I fear15:35
cjwatsonalthough open-iscsi is responsible for some bits15:35
flagg0204cjwatson - where does the problem lay?15:35
cjwatsonnetcfg only brings up one interface15:36
flagg0204cjwatson damn.   its odd, that during install you can choose which interface to use,  but it doesn't last after reboot15:36
cjwatsonflagg0204: hmm, that sounds like a straight bug, it's meant to15:47
cjwatsonflagg0204: if you could provide details in a bug on partman-iscsi, that'd be good15:48
flagg0204cjwatson - ill give it a go.  ive never submitted a bug to ubuntu before16:54

mpt_cjwatson, hi, what kind of problems could this cause? <http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/9694/1256933181441.png> (someone translating "RELEASE" when they shouldn't)23:30
evand1mpt_: exactly that23:32
evand1oh23:32
evand1I misread23:32
evand1uh, it will mean that instead of saying "Install Ubuntu 9.10" it will say "Install RELEASE" (translated)23:33
mpt_evand1, what's the easiest way of telling whether that was fixed in 9.10? I don't know what package it's from, and Google doesn't know of that string23:34
evand1mpt_: it is not fixed23:36
evand1(in the ubiquity trunk bzr branch, po/pt_BR.po)23:36
xivulonhi evand, can you please have a look at 468589?23:36
xivulonI have a debdiff in there23:37
mpt_evand1, anything I can do to help that, e.g. would reporting a bug help, or is it easiest just changed in trunk? (I don't know how interaction between trunk .po and Launchpad works)23:37
xivulonI would like this to go in through sru quickly if possible, as it is quite annoying, and can potentially cause data loss23:37
xivulonthe code reverts to the behaviour of jaunty, so it should be quite safe, and users have confirmed the fix works.23:38
evand1xivulon: will do tomorrow morning (about to turn in for the evening)23:38
xivulonnp23:38
evand1mpt_: I could fix it in trunk, but the next pull of translations would just overwrite it.  Could you please file a bug against ubiquity and create an ubuntu-translators project task?23:40
mpt_evand1, will do. I can even CC the translator and the reviewer who are to blame. :-)23:43
mpt_thanks for the info23:43
evand1haha, so you can :)23:43
evand1thanks for tracking that down23:43
mpt_evand1, I have an even weirder question now23:45
* evand1 is intrigued23:46
mpt_evand1, could you do a quick grep of the installer slideshow .po files and make sure that none of them contain the string "javascript"?23:46
evand1haha23:46
evand1they do not, but we should probably be very careful about letting such things through23:48
evand1perhaps even guard it with some code23:48
mpt_Because the only thing I can tell that the person who posted <http://twitpic.com/o5k0q> might be "WTF"-ing at is that the window came up at all.23:48
* evand1 ponders that one over sleep23:48
evand1goodnight23:48
evand1ah23:48
evand1perhaps someone translated the link23:48
mpt_What's the link to normally?23:49
evand1ubuntu.com/community23:49
mpt_ah23:49
mpt_I didn't realize it contained any links23:49
evand1I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary though (short of ubuntu.it and the like)23:49
mpt_anyay, goodnight23:49
evand1http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/308961/ - looks clean23:52
evand1night23:52
TheMusoxivulon: Re bug #472676, I thought we originaly had them labeled correctly. I'll go through the accessibility profile labels on the live CD, and put together a patch to fix this up.23:58
