saispocjwatson: hi, have you have a roadmap about the latest kernel integration in the debian-installer ?11:12
cjwatsonwhat's to integrate?11:13

cjwatsonwhy didn't you say that instead of "latest kernel integration"? :-)11:17
cjwatsonnot very specific11:17
saispoyes :) excuse me11:17
cjwatsonanyway, I already uploaded it, looks like it's just awaiting the end of the standard 7-day aging period11:18
saispook11:18
cjwatsonnot my call, I don't push my own uploads through to -updates since that's generally bad form11:18

ubottuLaunchpad bug 556376 in ubiquity "KDE frontend hangs on timezone page unless mouse is moved" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55637611:52
amichair(I have a guess what the cause is by looking at the code, but can't recreate to test)11:53
evI was able to reproduce it fairly reliably in KVM.11:56
amichairev: how exactly? jr said only in non-english?12:00
amichair(I'm on a clean virtualbox, amd64)12:00
evI booted into "Install Kubuntu", then pressed alt-f until I was on the timezone page12:01
evI pressed alt-f again to continue12:01
evand then left it for a few minutes12:01
evit didn't move to the next page until I moved the mouse12:01
evI may have selected a language other than English, I don't recall exactly12:03
amichairev: thanks, I'll give it another shot12:06
evamichair: cool, let me know if you need me to test any potential fixes12:06
amichairev: nope :-(12:11
amichairalt-f goes all the way through12:11
ograwhat is partman doing that could trigger the following (/me doesnt know what to look for to reproduce it in kernel)12:21
ograApr 12 11:18:47 main-menu[208]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected12:21

cjwatsoncould be misaligned memory access12:22
cjwatson/var/log/partman might at least pinpoint which parted_server command was being run when it fell over12:23
ogralikely, i would like to give something to amitk so he can easily reproduce though ...12:23

ograrotating due to several tries12:23
ograhmm, init.d is a script12:24
cjwatsonstick set -x near the top of /lib/partman/init.d/30parted12:26
ogratried that12:26
ograbut i cant seem to capture the output anywhere12:26
cjwatsonyou should have got stuff in /var/log/syslog then12:26

ogra(note i'm running through serial atm)12:26
cjwatsonalways goes there for me12:26
cjwatsonbut if that doesn't work, then:12:26

ograls: /tmp/trace: No such file or directory12:28
ogra*sniff*12:28
cjwatsonerr12:29
cjwatsonno idea what went wrong there :)12:29
ograi guess it dies to early (in /bin/sh already)12:29
cjwatsonthat seems pretty unlikely.  huge swathes of the installer before that are in shell.12:29
cjwatsonwhere did you put the set -x?12:29
ografirst i turned set-e into -ex12:29
ograthen i put the line above below that12:30
ogra*set -e12:30
cjwatsonmake sure you do the exec; set before . /lib/partman/lib/base.sh12:30
ograyeah, it is12:30
cjwatsonI don't know what to suggest then ...12:30
ograwell, amit seems to have a suspicion12:30
ograso i'll see12:31
cjwatsonI wouldn't rule out it being a userspace bug yet, we just don't know where12:31
cjwatsonunaligned accesses are a common enough bug on architectures that have strict alignment requirements12:31
cjwatsonit's a bit surprising that we wouldn't have run across it already elsewhere, that's all12:31
ogra<amitk> ogra: I am almost sure it has to do with clocks being turned off during module access12:31
cjwatsonok12:32
ograso lets see where he gets to :)12:32
ograwow, thats weird12:57
ograso i decided to go for a non serial install test and i cant switch consoles12:58
* ogra doesnt get it ... it completely stops working ... like no enter key and the like, but the caps-lock and num-lock keys still work13:03
ograoh !13:05
ograit switches consoles, it simply doesnt display them ... i have tty1 on the screen no matter where i switch to13:06
ograso indeed pressing enter doesnt move the picture on screen :P13:07
ograoh my, that kernel is so far from ready :(13:07

cjwatsonsuperm1: so, I fixed some bugs in the debconf/apt integration you committed to casper a while back that was getting in the way of bug 557011 ;-)15:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 557011 in casper "Packages installed during early command don't load debconf templates" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55701115:40
cjwatsonsuperm1: but the rest of it is proving difficult and I'm having to sit and think about it fairly hard15:40
cjwatsonI *think* that what we need to do is: (a) run casper's debconf-communicate with a read-only templatedb; (b) run apt-get with the same templatedb but read-write (i.e. remove DEBCONF_DB_REPLACE); (c) continue running apt-get with a throwaway read-write configdb which passthroughs to casper/debconf-communicate's real read-write configdb, which is the one that ends up on disk after boot15:51
cjwatsonvery delicate though15:51
cjwatsonhmm, well, that sort of worked but created other problems16:49
cjwatsonI think I'm going to need to run casper's debconf-communicate with an entirely separate configdb, and debconf-copydb things over at the end16:52
cjwatsonugh16:52
evouch16:52
superm1cjwatson, great on finding those other debconf/apt integration issues from before, thanks :)19:22
amichairev: u still there?22:07
evamichair: indeed I am, what's up?22:07
amichairev: feel like trying out a fix to the mouse freeze issue?22:07
evdefinitely22:08
amichairoki, so - if necessary, first make sure u can recreate the issue in ur setup (for verification)22:09
amichairthen, slip in and edit kde_ui.py by adding 'self.app.processEvents()' as the first line of debconffilter_done method22:09
amichairthen try to recreate again22:09
* amichair crosses his fingers...22:10
evwill do22:12
amichairev: btw, u familiar with that FIXME bit in this method? it doesn't look right.22:13
evamichair: I *think* that did the trick, just confirming.22:36
* amichair uncrosses his fingers and puts on a party hat22:37
amichairev: as for the FIXME there, when I comment it out I don't get the crash it claims to solve - any idea what that's about?22:45
evamichair: not sure and bzr blame/log isn't much help.  We best leave that as is for lucid though.22:52
amichairok, though even if necessary, that doesn't seem like a clean solution (the other two events should be disconnected as well, or better yet, all should be setEnabled(False))22:53
amichairbut best if it can just be deleted :-)22:53
amichairbut indeed, we'll leave it for now22:54
evindeed, I'm just trying to avoid risk this late in the cycle :)22:54
amichairok, so I'll prepare the mouse fix in my branch for merging22:54
evthanks22:54
amichairbtw I noticed the Yes/No buttons in quit confirmation dialog aren't translated (at least to Latvian), and lacking default keyboard focus (try quitting using only keyboard - it's awkward)22:57
amichairunless Yes/No is valid Latvian, of course. I wouldn't know :-)22:57
evhrm, confirmed with Spanish22:57
evthough yes was focused as soon as I hit alt22:58
amichairyeah, maybe I did something wrong there.22:59
amichairShould the default to quit be Yes? isn't No the safer choice, since it's not irreversible?23:00
evyeah, No should be the default23:02
amichairshould I open bugs for all these?23:03
evplease do23:04
