| ara | hey ev, I have one small question about usb-creator, may I? | 10:40 |
| ev | ara: absolutely | 10:40 |
| ara | ev, is there any reason why I can't create a disk with my 4gb usb stick? | 10:43 |
| ev | No, there shouldn't be. What happens when you try? | 10:44 |
| ara | ev, in the list of disk to sue, you know that normally appears /dev/sdb (that cannot be used), and /dev/sdb1 that can. in the 4gb usb stick /dev/sdb1 never appears | 10:48 |
| ara | ev, btw, the distinction between /dev/sdb (that can never be used) and /dev/sdb1 lacks a bit of usability | 10:48 |
| ara | ev, and the Format button does not seem to be working either | 10:49 |
| ara | ev, (I am using the gtk version, btw) | 10:49 |
| ev | ara: can you pastebin the output of devkit-disks --dump | 10:59 |
| ev | ara: distinction> indeed, there's an outstanding bug or two for that | 10:59 |
| ev | ara: format> very odd. Can you also pastebin your ~/.usbcreator.log? | 11:00 |
| ara | ev, http://paste.ubuntu.com/356506/ | 11:01 |
| ev | ara: was there nothing in devkit-disks --dump for /dev/sdb1? | 11:03 |
| ara | ev, no | 11:03 |
| ev | ah, then as far as usb-creator is concerned, it doesn't exist :). I suspect this is a bug a big lower down, assuming you have a /dev/sdb1 device node. | 11:03 |
| ara | ev, looking at the log, I have seen that format was not working because it was mounted (but the gtk application did not give me any error) | 11:03 |
| ara | ev, so that's a bug (I'll file that one) | 11:04 |
| ev | ara: much appreciated, thanks! | 11:04 |
| ara | ev, and when I unmounted it, and clicked format, sdb1 appeared, so I guess now I can use it | 11:04 |
| ev | lovely | 11:05 |
| ara | ev, bug 507420 | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 507420 in usb-creator "If you try to format a mounted device, the application does not give you any error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/507420 | 11:08 |
| ev | cool, thanks | 11:09 |
| ev | cjwatson: (bug 506585) looking over r3643, I don't see how that can work. You preseed the name of the script, but ask_user only accepts responses of the form "80script" or "80script________script", not "script". | 11:33 |

| cjwatson | default="$key" | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | fi | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | ought to arrange for "script" to work ... | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | (in debconf_select) | 11:36 |
| cjwatson | I did test that change, I guess not well enough, sorry :-( | 11:36 |
| ev | ah, sorry about that. Didn't go far enough down into the rabbit hole, it seems. | 11:41 |
| ev | completely missed that substitution | 11:41 |
| * ev digs further | 11:42 | |
| cjwatson | odd | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | I think I'd suggest the 'set -x' hammer to investigate ... | 11:44 |
| ev | indeed, thanks | 11:50 |
| ev | cjwatson: ah! It doesn't work because that processing (debconf_select) is done just before the question is actually asked, and partman.py only preseeds 'delete' as the question is being asked. | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | meh | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | so how do we fix this? the core problem in the original bug is that with the perf optimisation partman.py doesn't necessarily have the list of scripts in hand | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | I think perhaps we need to add something to debconf_select to let that kind of preseeding work ... | 12:56 |
| cjwatson | ... which is tricky 'cos debconf_select doesn't know either, if choices are frozen | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | maybe this whole frozen choices thing was a bad idea, but it does make things so much faster :-/ | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | I suppose we could have ask_user look for [0-9][0-9]$RET or something ... | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | in $dir | 12:58 |
| ev | sorry, had stepped out for lucnh | 13:59 |
| ev | hrm | 13:59 |
| superm1 | ev, regarding removing oem-config post install, perhaps should you be removing 'ubiquity' instead of 'oem-config'? removing ubiquity should knock out all of oem-config too | 14:38 |

| ev | cjwatson: I take it the choices being frozen prevents us from using must_find_one_script on menu_options? If so, I'll agree for lack of a better solution. | 15:02 |
| ev | cjwatson: something like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356601/ ? | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | so the point of freezing choices was to avoid spending so much time listing out the choices when we already knew what we were going to do | 15:02 |
| ev | err, just written properly, with $RET | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | the problem is a fencepost error | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | we thaw the choices one step too late | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | it might be possible to work out that we're about to return to the top level and return control to the user, and thaw choices then, maybe | 15:03 |
| cjwatson | that sort of thing was what I was thinking of, although be careful with what test(1) will do if there's more than one match; you might have to use a for loop and break | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | possibly something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/356608/, not that that makes things any less ridiculously complicated in there | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | does that make any sense? | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | either we need to handle bare preseeding as your paste, or we need to arrange to thaw choose_partition choices just before we get to the point where we currently realise that we've finished building the cache | 15:12 |
| ev | that seems significantly cleaner | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | as usual the partman component state machine could do with some kind of diagram :-( I'm not entirely confident that that's the only possible transition back to choose_partition when choices are frozen | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | although I *think* it is | 15:17 |
| ev | superm1: good call | 15:18 |
| ev | indeed, my eyes are slightly sore, having dug through this | 15:19 |
| CIA-6 | ubiquity: superm1 * r3655 ubiquity/ (bin/oem-config-firstboot debian/changelog): Adjust previous commit to remove ubiquity rather than oem-config (ubiquity will knock out of all oem-config too) | 16:06 |
