| dpm | good morning ev, cjwatson. How is the POT template of ubiquity created (the one for the installer, not the one for the .desktop file on the live installation)? I've had a quick look at the sources and I couldn't quite figure out how. I'm just looking at bug 533859 and I thought it might just be a matter of the template not being up to date and not yet containing those strings missing for translations | 09:15 |

| cjwatson | dpm: anyway, at least one of those strings has a 'TODO i18n' comment by it | 10:07 |
| cjwatson | so I think it's just not internationalised yet :( | 10:09 |

| ev | I've heard some reports (one in Millbank, others in bugs) of grub install failing and not going to the "grub install failed, choose a different device to install it on dialog". Just a heads up, I'm going to run through a test install and see if I can reproduce it. | 12:25 |
| ev | also, I broke the resize progress bar, fixing nowish | 12:26 |

| ev | cjwatson: your extra parameter to progress_stop ended up having a use after all. ^ | 14:09 |
| cjwatson | ev: can't we keep track of this some other way? we ought to be able to remember the template used for the topmost progress bar | 14:14 |
| ev | cjwatson: sure | 14:14 |
| ev | cjwatson: how's this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/391075/ | 14:22 |
| ev | ah, nesting, damn. | 14:23 |
| cjwatson | ev: I thought ubiquity.progressposition already kept track of this | 14:27 |
| ev | Okay. I'll take a look after I'm done hunting down the cause of an apt-setup bug with cruzer micros. | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | I'm resurrecting a machine to put some giant hard disks in for parted testing | 14:35 |
| ev | Nice | 14:38 |

| ev | I really need to pick up a netbook. As much fun as playing roulette with my primary laptop and two USB keys is... | 15:08 |
| cjwatson | you must be coming up on three years at Canonical soon | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | laptop refresh benefit ... | 15:10 |
| davmor2 | ev: don't be tempted with the ssd ones ;) | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: why not? I am :) | 15:11 |
| ev | May :) | 15:11 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: not enough space | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | I've certainly seen laptops with SSDs bigger than my current laptop's hard disk | 15:11 |
| ev | Ubuntu takes under 3gb... | 15:12 |
| cjwatson | I'm happy to use fileservers elsewhere for serious storage | 15:12 |
| * persia has happily used a 4G netbook at UDS. | 15:12 | |
| davmor2 | cjwatson, ev: yeah the issue comes when you want to try a side by side with windows :) | 15:12 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: you can get SSDs much bigger than that | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | 128GB is not totally unreasonably priced | 15:13 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: yeah but at the time 8gb was the standard in netbooks :) | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I'm not interested in netbooks :) | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | not made for people with big hands | 15:14 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: ev said he was though :) | 15:14 |
| cjwatson | mm, yeah | 15:14 |
| ev | Yeah, but my use case for it is only installer development and testing | 15:15 |
| davmor2 | ev: not enough room for side by side or wubi testing. on 8gb drive windows takes up loads | 15:16 |
| ev | Sure, I'd plan accordingly. | 15:16 |
| davmor2 | ev: almost certainly I'm just saying :) | 15:17 |
| ev | Assuming the pound ever rebounds, I can always pick up a big Intel SSD on the cheap in the states | 15:17 |
| ev | shtylman: can you please provide a changelog message for the outstanding items in your branch? Also, why did you comment out the progress window code? | 16:56 |
| cr3 | does d-i and/or casper support installation where the installation media is available over an iscsi drive? | 16:57 |
| cjwatson | cr3: casper doesn't, d-i mostly does | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | oh, *installation media* available over iscsi | 16:59 |
| cjwatson | hmm, probably only if your BIOS sets up the iscsi drive to look like scsi | 16:59 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: as opposed to installing onto an iscsi drive | 16:59 |
| cr3 | I have to admit that my knowledge of iscsi is flaky at best | 17:00 |
| shtylman | ev: I commented it out cause I put back the new style progress bar which was commented out for a quick release right before alpha 3 | 17:00 |
| shtylman | ev: yea...I think I can put some poetry in the changelog | 17:01 |
| ev | thanks | 17:01 |
| ev | can you simply delete it then? We don't need to comment things out when we have a VCS, unless you expect it to be reverted again. | 17:02 |
| shtylman | ev: yea... I agree... and no.. I hope it doesn't need to be reverted again | 17:02 |
| shtylman | the goal is for it not to be at least | 17:02 |
| ev | okay, cool | 17:05 |

| kirkland | cjwatson: is grub2 taking 3-5 minutes to install the bootloader a bug, or expected behavior? | 18:31 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i ask because my automated cloud installations take about 10 minutes per machine, with 3-5 minutes of that being the grub installation step (at least as reported by d-i's status bar) | 18:32 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: bug | 19:24 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: okay, i'll reproduce and attach logs | 19:26 |
| superm1 | cjwatson, i grabbed parted 2.2-1ubuntu2 out of NEW and manually installed those binaries (and put symlinks in place so parted_server worked still), but same thing and even calling partprobe still is returning an error, along with new device nodes not being created | 19:54 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: is there a way to run a script only on the first install of a deb package? | 21:22 |
| shtylman | and not on subsequent updates? | 21:22 |
| cjwatson | yes, check debian-policy for the version argument passed to the postinst | 21:23 |
| shtylman | um... how does one do that... | 21:27 |
| cody-somerville | shtylman, http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ | 21:34 |
| shtylman | cody-somerville: yea...I found that document... to say that it helped... well... | 21:34 |
| cjwatson | shtylman: it's in the section about how maintainer scripts are called | 22:04 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: yea... I found the order of the parameters and whatnot.. I guess I wan't clear on just how you would check after that... if a simple query against dpkg would do... or if you meant something more complex | 22:13 |
| cjwatson | you normally use dpkg --compare-versions | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | although actually, first-install doesn't get a version passed to it | 22:17 |
| cjwatson | so in fact you'd just test [ -z "$2" ] | 22:17 |
| shtylman | heh... clever :) | 22:18 |
| shtylman | thanks | 22:18 |
| shtylman | my small dabble into the world of deb packages | 22:19 |
| shtylman | will hopefully end well | 22:19 |
| shtylman | what does get me ... is that I can't seem to find a way to tell it where to put the generated debs and other files it makes... (when running debuild I mean) | 22:20 |
| shtylman | maybe I am just not looking in the right places... | 22:20 |
| cjwatson | they always go in the parent directory | 22:25 |
| shtylman | and no way to influence that? | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | it's not configurable, no | 22:26 |
| shtylman | strange | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | some things shouldn't be configurable | 22:26 |
| shtylman | heh | 22:26 |
| shtylman | location of generated files should be :) | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | you can always move them with a script if you really care | 22:26 |
| cjwatson | there's absolutely no point bloating the core development programs with that | 22:27 |
| cjwatson | there's a 'dcmd' program you can use to get the list of files from the .changes file if you want | 22:27 |
| shtylman | heh | 22:27 |
| cjwatson | but many tools work better with them in the parent, so honestly I suggest you get used to it :) | 22:27 |
| shtylman | will have to do that... I suppose .. | 22:27 |
| cjwatson | for example if they're in the parent directory then you can invoke debc without arguments to list the contents of the thing just built | 22:27 |
| cjwatson | or debi | 22:28 |
| shtylman | thats kinda cool | 22:28 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: on a different note... what does bzr builddeb do then? | 22:44 |
| shtylman | cause it puts things in a different directory... | 22:44 |
| shtylman | voodoo magic? | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | not especially, it copies the source tree to a different directory and changes to that directory before starting the build | 22:44 |
| shtylman | :( | 22:45 |
