[02:34] <CIA-6> ubiquity: Remove all of the mythbuntu frontend from ubiquity. Now that it's fully
[02:34] <CIA-6> ubiquity: stable, it's being moved to the mythbuntu-live-autostart package so that
[02:34] <CIA-6> ubiquity: it can benefit from being maintained by anyone in ~mythbuntu-dev.
[02:51] <Ken222> ey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a fix for the disc just stopping when I click on an option in the Ubuntu install menu
[02:51] <Ken222> I'm trying to install on a macbook.
[02:57] <Ken222> The disc sounds like it's going to start up but then just dies down.
[04:16] <CIA-6> ubiquity: superm1 * r3815 ubiquity/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog):
[04:16] <CIA-6> ubiquity: Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
[04:16] <CIA-6> ubiquity: 1.49ubuntu5.
[04:17] <CIA-6> ubiquity: superm1 * r3816 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.1.23
[05:29] <twb> Which channel do I pester about casper's innards?
[05:29] <persia> This one tends to work.
[05:30] <persia> But "pester"ing can be dangerous.  "Discussing" might be more appropriate :)
[05:32] <twb> I'm rolling live 10.04 images from a sid host, with live-helper.
[05:33] <twb> My goal is to build an "appliance", with two copies of the firmware on it at all times -- an "active" version and an "old" version.  This allows me to "flash" the non-active partition and then just change which partition is bootable.
[05:33] <twb> Rather than making each partition a vfat filesystem with casper/filesystem.squashfs, I'm trying to work out if I can simply have each partition be a squashfs image directly.
[05:34] <twb> So just now I'm trying to follow scripts/casper:find_livefs() and friends to see what magic I should append to the kernel parameters.
[05:41] <twb> Never mind -- that's stupid.  There'd be nowhere outside the squashfs for the bootloader to get the kernel and ramdisk from.
[05:42] <persia> Nor anywhere to store a pool or preseed files, etc.
[05:43] <twb> persia: I don't need preseed files -- I'm not building a live image to install anything, just to boot
[10:39] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3817 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity-greeter-gtk debian/changelog): merge lp:~bratsche/ubiquity/language-combobox
[10:41] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3818 ubiquity/bin/ubiquity-greeter-gtk: move language selection combo box to lower part of screen
[10:58] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3819 ubiquity/ubiquity/i18n.py: remove unnecessary import
[11:13] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3820 ubiquity/ (3 files in 3 dirs): use localechooser's language list in ubiquity-greeter-gtk
[11:21] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3821 ubiquity/bin/ubiquity-greeter-gtk: print desired locale just before exiting
[11:24] <StevenK> cjwatson: Have you taken care of d-i for -14, or shall I?
[11:38] <cjwatson> I have not, go ahead
[11:40] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3822 ubiquity/ubiquity/plugin_manager.py: don't use == False
[12:02] <davmor2> ev, cjwatson: does ubiquity now have some geolocation stuff in it?
[12:09] <cjwatson> yes
[12:10] <davmor2> cjwatson: that would explain it then :)
[16:27] <CIA-6> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3823 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity-dm debian/changelog):
[16:27] <CIA-6> ubiquity: Hook up ubiquity-greeter-gtk's language selection in ubiquity-dm to

[16:27] <CIA-6> ubiquity: before continuing.

[16:35] <CIA-6> ubiquity: background image for now; it's slightly more visually appealing than the
[16:35] <CIA-6> ubiquity: test image!
[16:49] <CIA-6> partman-base: cjwatson * r182 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 135ubuntu4
[16:50] <cjwatson> (actually ages ago but forgot to commit the release)
[18:38] <charlie-tca> The Ubuntu desktop cd for today may have a problem with partitioning. I got an error: invalid username (as superuser)
[18:38] <charlie-tca> The username you entered is invalid
[18:39] <charlie-tca> This is the live desktop, I never entered a username
[18:50] <arand> I aim to test a change in parted (for a possible fix of Bug #445067) How would I slap parted from the non-debian git repo into the installer to test it? (since the change isn't in the Deb git yet)
[18:58] <cjwatson> arand: uh, it might be quicker to wait until I upload parted 2.1 to lucid ...
[18:58] <superm1> charlie-tca, try running with migration assistant off, if that solves it, there's a bug already opened for it
[18:58] <charlie-tca> How do I turn it off?
[18:59] <superm1> ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
[18:59] <superm1> cjwatson, the intent of parted 2.1 to lucid was to support 4k sector drives right?
[19:00] <cjwatson> superm1: that's the main one, yes
[19:00] <superm1> cjwatson, i think there is a collection of post 2.6.32 patches that are needed too then; they should all be in 2.6.33rc1
[19:01] <cjwatson> that could be; I'm not going to be able to do straight-through tests of the feature in general, at least not with my current set of hardware
[19:01] <cjwatson> (and that isn't fishing for hardware either, I have no space :-( )
[19:01] <cjwatson> https://launchpad.net/~cjwatson/+archive/ppa has a bunch of the required stuff
[19:01] <cjwatson> ubiquity needs to be rebuilt against it though, so probably no help to arand
[19:02] <superm1> well we don't have our 4k sector samples yet either, so couldn't help as of yet
[19:02] <cjwatson> I wonder if I can mock it up in kvm
[19:02] <arand> cjwatson: so that would be based off of git.debian.org/git/parted/parted.git rather than git.debian.org/git/parted/debian/parted.git ...so-to-speak?
[19:03] <cjwatson> arand: no, the latter
[19:03] <cjwatson> no point redoing the packaging all by myself
[19:03] <cjwatson> http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/debian/parted.git - as you can see 2.1 is already there
[19:06] <superm1> cjwatson, if samples of just the drives turn up on our end, would that be useful to you at least in the form factor to hook up via usb or e-sata for testing/enabling?
[19:06] <cjwatson> I could manage USB hookup
[19:06]  * cjwatson wonders if Windows 7 boots off USB :)
[19:07] <superm1> there's the other complication that some drives are native, some run in an emulation mode, i'll inquiry what's gonna be available
[19:07] <cjwatson> I'm hoping that I'll be able to get community testing fairly quickly, but I'll keep that in mind, thank you
[19:10]  * cjwatson fires up lp-shell and tries to remember how to sync stuff from Debian to a PPA
[19:13] <cjwatson> >>> ppa.syncSource(from_archive=debian.main_archive, include_binaries=False, source_name='pyparted', version='3.0-1', to_pocket='RELEASE', to_series='lucid')
[19:13] <cjwatson> hah
[19:17] <charlie-tca> superm1: fails with -- no-migration-assistant
[19:17] <charlie-tca> Still can't format my partitions
[19:18] <superm1> but a different issue then the username issue, correct?
[19:18] <charlie-tca> Same one
[19:18] <cjwatson> you put a space in "-- no-migration-assistant" on IRC
[19:18] <cjwatson> did you put a space in it on the command line?
[19:18] <charlie-tca> Username must start with a lower-case letter
[19:18] <charlie-tca> yes
[19:18] <cjwatson> don't - it's "--no-migration-assistant"
[19:19] <cjwatson> it's a long option
[19:19] <charlie-tca> okay, I will try again
[19:19] <arand> cjwatson: hrm, seems what I git-pulled was not the master, ok, now they seem to co-relate better.. so this and a rebuilt ubiquity is planned to make it into Lucid at some point then?
[19:20] <cjwatson> arand: assuming other release team members are willing to grant me a feature freeze exception for it
[19:20] <cjwatson> I can backport that one patch as a fallback plan, but it's not actually a trivial backport (a lot of code in that area changed) and I'd rather put that energy towards 2.1
[19:22] <superm1> charlie-tca, if that resolves things, you are looking at bug 524996
[19:22] <charlie-tca> okay. It is rebooting now. Takes a very long time to boot now in lucid
[19:23] <charlie-tca> That doesn't affect Xubuntu?
[19:25] <arand> Hmm, you have my vote at least, although uncounted :/ (I did have a look at the commit you mentioned in relation to the current parted, and what had changed back and fourth...just Bleh)
[19:25] <cjwatson> I can do it if I have to, but :)
[19:26] <cjwatson> it's all tied in with the non-512-byte sector work
[19:29] <persia> cjwatson: We were discussing native syncs on LP in #launchpad today, and I notice your code snippet above.  Would that potentially work for the main archve, or just ppas?
[19:32] <cjwatson> just ppas
[19:32] <cjwatson> well, it's part of what would be involved for the main archive, but the changelog stuff also needs to be fixed
[19:32] <cjwatson> there are links on https://dev.launchpad.net/Ubuntu/InfrastructureNeeds about it
[19:32]  * persia looks
[19:34] <cjwatson> see also the more recent bug 523093; I added a related comment to the end
[19:34] <persia> Would not fixing bug #55795 be a regression?  The changelogs seem fairly awkward now.
[19:35] <cjwatson> it would certainly regress things for readers of -changes
[19:35] <cjwatson> I don't really want to take something half-baked when we should be so close to something that actually works right
[19:35] <persia> fair enough.
[19:37] <persia> If you're tracking this, https://dev.launchpad.net/Soyuz/NativeSourceSyncing was copied from launchpad.canonical.com today as well.
[19:37] <persia> And thanks for the explanations.
[19:42] <cjwatson> persia: thanks, though I think that page may be sufficiently obsolete as to be unhelpful; it predates the LP API, let alone the syncSource method :)
[19:43] <persia> Yeah, it was just the page that was referenced by the blueprint, and the relatively uninformed trio of mwhudson, wgrant, and I thought it might be relevant.
[21:40] <CIA-3> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3828 ubiquity/debian/control: remove python-rsvg dependency again; we now rely on the svg pixbuf loader
[21:43] <CIA-3> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3829 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.1.24
[23:39] <CIA-3> ubiquity: cjwatson * r3830 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/ubi-partman.py): Fix installation_medium_mounted call in partman plugin (LP: #524169).
[23:51] <superm1> cjwatson, re bug 525966, xforcevesa still does stuff in casper afaik to create an xorg.conf w/ vesa in it
[23:51] <superm1> see scripts/casper-bottom/20xconfig
[23:53] <cjwatson> grrr
[23:53] <cjwatson> that should be obsoleted by the stuff in ubiquity-dm though
[23:53] <cjwatson> I suspect nomodeset will do the trick ...
[23:54] <cjwatson> I can extend the F6 menu if I must, but I'm being leant on to trim down the main menu, so I don't think "Safe graphics mode" as such will return
[23:54] <cjwatson> thanks for the note about casper, I hadn't seen that
[23:54] <superm1> i added it late last cycle when i realized it was missing too :)
[23:55] <superm1> is the intent that the whole language selection at isolinux will go away in favor of picking at the ubiquity-greeter-gtk then?
[23:55] <cjwatson> theoretically
[23:55] <cjwatson> that's what I've been instructed to dod
[23:55] <cjwatson> do
[23:56] <cjwatson> whether there's actually time to make it work properly, well
[23:56] <superm1> cool, i like the idea
[23:56] <cjwatson> the idea being, I suppose, to get up to X as quickly as possible and do everything there
