kirklandcjwatson: how can I tell w3mman *not* to hyphen-wrap it's output?01:07
kirklandcjwatson: i suspect I might be able to tell man not to, though I don't see an option in w3mman01:08
kirklandcjwatson: nevermind01:09
kirkland./cjwatson.log:Jun 04 15:59:00 <cjwatson>       so you can just say W3MMAN_MAN='man --no-hyphenation'01:09

xivulonevand1 how is the wubi.exe 170 release progressing?17:52
evand1xivulon: I've just filed an RT request for IS to sign it.18:01
NCommandercjwatson, I just kicked my tocd removal branch for ubuntu-cdimage on launchpad, and filed a review and merge request18:05
evand1cjwatson: what are your thoughts on the following?19:37
evand1Right now, when the installer crashes it simply exits and an apport icon appears in the panel.  Clicking on the apport icon tells you that "ubiquity" crashes, but doesn't mention the installer, or next steps you can take to install.19:37
evand1It's also not obvious that you need to click on the apport icon.19:37
evand1Apport is also supposed to be disabled for release, so users wont see anything at all when ubiquity crashes (save this time when pitti apparently forgot to disable it).19:37
evand1My thought is to leave the apport interaction as is, but also pop up a dialog on failure that explains what recourse the user has, and provides a button that launches apport-collect ubiquity.19:37
evand1perhaps adding an apport-collect button is drinking from the firehose, but I still think we should pop up a dialog apologizing for the error and offering some sort of "next steps" message.19:39

cjwatsonNCommander: thanks22:09
cjwatsonevand1: I agree just punting to apport isn't quite enough; that does sound like a better workflow than the crash dialog we used to have ...22:09
NCommandercjwatson, glad I could help. I'm currently working to solve the issue with vfat alternate images, so hopefully I'll have a set of patches for you on that as well22:10
NCommandercjwatson, there a ton of file that use #!/bin/sh in d-cd, any objection of I change that to #!/bin/bash so if /bin/sh == dash, the world doesn't break?22:25
NCommander(alternately, I can try and fix the bashisms)22:25
evand1cjwatson: cool, thanks for the input22:38

cjwatsonNCommander: there shouldn't be many bashisms, and I'd much rather they be fixed22:43
NCommandercjwatson, right. I'm trying to figure out why mtools 4.0 doesn't work properly with d-cd ATM; getting *very* strange errors23:03
