[10:54] <ev> hrm, the ubiquity drop_privileges trick doesn't work with ibus, it seems
[11:59] <davmor2> cjwatson, superm1: ubiquity is firing up today :)
[12:00] <cjwatson> good
[12:02] <davmor2> cjwatson: I'm seeing a bit of a glitch from screen 2->3 language screen -> location screen.  ubiquity flashes the same screen is in place and then becomes the next page.
[12:19] <davmor2> cjwatson: Yay installed :)
[12:28] <CIA-6> os-prober: evand * r237 ubuntu/ (18 files in 7 dirs): Merge from debian 1.35
[12:32] <ev> oh damn.  It appears I'm woefully out of date here.
[12:33] <ev> cjwatson: did you intentionally drop the umount retry delta in os-prober?
[12:35] <cjwatson> ev: yes, the private mount namespace stuff in 1.31 made it unnecessary
[12:35] <ev> then damn again.  Shall I just leave this as-is, since the branch is effectively dead?
[12:50] <cjwatson> fine by me ...
[16:48] <_ruben> hmm .. network install of karmic onto 2 md's (md0: /boot, md1: lvm) results in broken system
[16:48] <_ruben> it claims to be waiting for /dev/md0 and offers recovery shell .. /dev/md0 is present just fine in the recovery shell
[16:53] <_ruben> will try to troubleshoot some more tomorrow (when im back at its console again)
[18:11] <thales_vaz> hi, does anyone know how to install the alternative cd with a pen drive? no cd-rom
[18:13] <thales_vaz> >:o
[18:14] <thales_vaz> anyone? help?
[18:18] <charlie-tca> Probably be better to ask that in #ubuntu
[18:19] <charlie-tca> or search in https://help.ubuntu.com/ for a wiki article
[18:19] <thales_vaz> all right, thanks a lot
[18:19] <thales_vaz> ;)
[23:32] <EphriamGrey> I just finished putting togther a new box - however, I left my keyboard, cd drive, linux boot flashdrive at home. I have my intel macbook w/ Mac OS X, a monitor, usb mouse, blank usb flash drive. Is it possible to make a usb installation for Ubuntu, if so, can I make it on a Mac? Also, does Ubuntu have kickstart like Red Hat?
