| CIA-3 | base-installer: cjwatson * r398 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.103ubuntu6 | 10:23 |
| ev | cjwatson: do you recall why we default to "do not use" instead of the same filesystem as before without format set? I thought this was a change someone made around hardy, but it seems to go back as far as partman-target r1. | 11:34 |
| ev | oh, maybe I'm reading this wrong | 11:35 |
| cjwatson | need to know where to mount it ... | 11:40 |
| cjwatson | and I think same filesystem as before without format set throws an error complaining about that | 11:40 |
| cjwatson | of course how to present this in the ubiquity UI is perhaps a different matter - this is pretty much a raw mapping from d-i | 11:40 |
| ev | well, it throws a warning saying that it's going to remove system files | 11:41 |
| ev | but surely we could find the mountpoint from fstab if set by UUID | 11:41 |
| ev | (mind you, I'm not suggesting we do this in Lucid :) ) | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | no, we shouldn't be mounting things automagically | 11:42 |

| cjwatson | -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:18:47 +0100 | 11:42 |
| cjwatson | there were other reasons to disable automounting, such as issues with filesystems from hibernated OS instances | 11:43 |
| ev | well, at least my memory for dates isn't failing | 11:43 |
| ev | indeed | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | ubiquity's UI is awkward though - it would be nice if it automatically switched "do not use" to the correct filesystem type if you specify a mount point | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | or something | 11:44 |
| ev | yeah, that would definitely be a step in the right direction | 11:44 |

| cjwatson | it's working for me in kvm | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | damn, vgabios doesn't support DDC | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | I'm going to have to do this whole video mode detection thing either by zen, or by reboting | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | *rebooting | 12:55 |
| cjwatson | or I suppose I could rebuild vgabios but that's going to get into yak-shaving pretty quickly ... | 12:55 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i don't know what DDC is ... is that a feature, or something that's broken with our vgabios | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | it's a feature which doesn't normally make sense under emulation :-) | 12:58 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: okay, I'm past the previous iscsi question; but my old preseed file isn't getting me past partitioning automatically any more | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | what question is it stopping at? | 12:58 |
| kirkland | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/406485/ | 12:59 |
| kirkland | "If you choose guided partitioning for an entire disk, you will next be asked which disk should be used" | 12:59 |
| cjwatson | screenshot? | 12:59 |
| kirkland | i'm on real hardware, camera phone screenshot okay? | 13:00 |
| kirkland | weird, it's calling the disk sdb | 13:00 |
| kirkland | never really did that before | 13:00 |
| kirkland | my preseed hardcodes sda | 13:00 |
| cjwatson | camera phone is fine | 13:00 |
| kirkland | i can change that easily enough | 13:00 |
| cjwatson | but yeah, disk name change would account for that | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | you can put a script in partman/early_command if you need to compute that dynamically | 13:01 |
| kirkland | http://people.canonical.com/~kirkland/IMG_3427.JPG | 13:04 |
| cjwatson | right, for some reason /dev/sda must not exist, I have no idea why | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | you'll probably also need to add: | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true | 13:06 |
| cjwatson | to avoid problems later in some configurations | 13:07 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: okay, i'll add that now | 13:08 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: s/sda/sdb/ solved my immediate problem, while i go hack a better solution | 13:09 |
| kirkland | arg, yeah, bummer... I have two slightly different machines i need to preseed 5 different installs against, and one is seeing its disk as sda and the other as sdb | 13:20 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: does any of them have more than one disk? | 13:22 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: no, they don't | 13:22 |
| cjwatson | kirkland: then just leave out partman-auto/disk - you don't need to set it on a single-disk machine | 13:23 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: i was just checking if i plugged a stray sd card in or something | 13:23 |
| kirkland | no dice | 13:23 |
| kirkland | cool | 13:23 |
| kirkland | let me try that | 13:23 |
| cjwatson | if partman-auto/method is set and there's only one disk, then it will just autopartition the first disk, whatever that is | 13:23 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: what about grub-installer/bootdev ? | 13:23 |
| cjwatson | you shouldn't normally need to set that either | 13:24 |
| * kirkland comments out those two and retests | 13:24 | |
| cjwatson | you're already preseeding grub-installer/only_debian and grub-installer/with_other_os to true, which should mean that grub-installer/bootdev won't generally be asked | 13:25 |
| kirkland | cjwatson: sweet, that works ;-) | 13:28 |

| CIA-3 | ubiquity: (LP: #551537). | 14:05 |

| ev | this is possible on the console-setup page, for example, by pressing next and then clicking through the radio buttons | 14:07 |
| ev | I'm tempted to guard against this by disabling any editable part of the interface when the user presses next, just like it already does with the back and next buttons | 14:08 |
| cjwatson | can we disable it without everything going to grey? | 14:08 |
| ev | but to avoid that, which admittedly looks ugly and might not cover all cases of callbacks firing, perhaps we should just do hasattr checks in the callbacks | 14:09 |
| * ev wonders aloud if this could be written as a decorator that checks to make sure the dbfilter matches the ui component | 14:09 | |
| cjwatson | that would be cute | 14:09 |
| ev | s/callbacks/signals/ | 14:09 |
| ev | I'll investigate that then | 14:10 |
| ev | ah, this is actually really easy, given that we hold reference to the individual dbfilter on a Controller instance, which we set to None when we're done with it. | 15:07 |
| ev | how's this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406540/ | 15:09 |
