| ev | ara: I'm getting a traceback when logging into testcases.qa.ubuntu.com. Would you mind adding the following to the historical bugs section of uoi-003 on my behalf? | 09:46 |
| ev | "In the 10.04 cycle, prior to the release candidate, the installer visibly switched to a text console and stayed there for a noticeable amount of time while removing oem-config. Any case where the user is taken out of a graphical experience should be filed as a bug." | 09:46 |
| ara | ev, sure, will do | 09:46 |
| ev | very much appreciated | 09:47 |
| ara | ev, and will investigate the login issue | 09:47 |
| ev | cool, thanks | 09:47 |
| ogra | cjwatson, can you remind me what was the d-i equivalent to http://paste.ubuntu.com/414837/ ? | 10:24 |
| amichair | is anyone in particular working on RTL in KDE frontend? | 10:33 |
| dpm | ev, I saw you exported translations from Launchpad yesterday into ubiquity, thanks for that :) As the NonLanguagePackDeadline was today, there might be some teams who were translating yesterday after the export. Would it be possible to have a final export some time today or later? | 10:37 |
| ev | dpm: definitely | 10:38 |
| dpm | cool, thanks! | 10:38 |
| ev | dpm: anything I can do to help that lot. We had a number of late string changes to ubiquity, the slideshow, and usb-creator. | 10:41 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: xen shouldn't need it? | 10:43 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: err - amd64 shouldn't need it? | 10:43 |
| cjwatson | oh, huh, there's one in Debian | 10:44 |
| cjwatson | maybe it just has the extra config files or something | 10:44 |
| dpm | ev, thanks :) | 10:45 |
| ev | hooray, I can reproduce the oem-config-kde loop issue. | 10:45 |
| cjwatson | ogra: that would correspond to changes in flash-kernel | 10:46 |
| ogra | cjwatson, indeed, i have them on the shelf here | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | ogra: for dove, we add rootfs='root=UUID=$uuid' to flash-kernel.conf - is that necessary for omap too? | 10:47 |
| ogra | there was nothing additionally in d-i ? | 10:47 |
| ogra | no | 10:47 |
| ogra | http://paste.ubuntu.com/414821/ | 10:47 |
| ogra | i'm not finished yet but essentially thats how it will look like | 10:47 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: sorry i thought we'd have to break open netboot.tar.gz, but the vmlinuz/initrd is available in ubuntu-installer/amd64/ | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | ogra: you need http://paste.ubuntu.com/414852/ on top of that, and you should call check_subarch "omap" in flash-kernel to match the other cases | 10:49 |
| cjwatson | ogra: otherwise that should be all you need in d-i | 10:50 |
| ogra | great | 10:50 |
| dpm | cjwatson, I've been pointed out to some comments in installation-guide changelog (http://tinyurl.com/y7ef5bq) mentioning that only the English version is built. If that is the case, I think I'll disable the templates in Launchpad, what do you think? | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | ogra: you should mirror that uboot-envtools change in ubiquity, though | 10:50 |
| ogra | you mean make sure it gets pulled in additionally ? | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | dpm: I think disabling them would be reasonable. IMO enabling translations needs to involve a big sync with upstream | 10:50 |
| cjwatson | and committing the Ubuntu changes upstream as conditionals | 10:50 |
| ogra | hmm, k ... that makes the patch a bit bigger | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | but that's a lot of work | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | ogra: uboot-envtools should be added to ubiquity's Recommends on armel, and ubiquity should make sure that it's kept installed on the appropriate subarches | 10:51 |
| cjwatson | same as it does for uboot-mkimage now | 10:51 |
| ogra | right | 10:51 |
| dpm | cjwatson, ok, I'll disable them for now, thanks. I've got some other questions about debian-installer, but I'll come back to you later. | 10:52 |
| ogra | first i need it in main :) | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | this means things work reliably without network access | 10:52 |
| ogra | and the package needs some cleanup, asac wasnt happy with it as is | 10:52 |
| ogra | so thats a better one then i think http://paste.ubuntu.com/414853/ | 10:54 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: so Debian does have a netboot-xen image for amd64, which consists of symlinks to the main kernel/initrd and an added xen configuration file | 10:54 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: doing this for lucid would involve upgrading the build system a bit, and I'd rather avoid it if possible - do you think just externally pointing people to the xen configuration file in i386 is sufficient? | 10:55 |
| ogra | gah, crap, my CIA setup is borked in my ubiquity branch | 12:01 |
| CIA-3 | ubiquity: ogra * r4081 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog debian/control scripts/install.py): add support for omap bootloader installation | 12:02 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: it just means the script that downloads the vmlinuz/initrd will have to look in different places to download them between 386/amd64 | 12:12 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: is that tolerable? | 12:25 |
| cjwatson | I was skating the edge of the freeze with this change as it was | 12:25 |
| dmarkey | will the ubuntu-installer/amd64/ | 12:26 |
| dmarkey | directory always exists on the mirror? | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | yes | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | well, any working mirror | 12:26 |
| dmarkey | lemme take a look at that script thats in the i386/xen directory | 12:27 |
| dmarkey | but yea, it def wont be a showstopper | 12:28 |
| dmarkey | any chance of xen support being in the release notes? :) | 12:28 |
| dmarkey | well not support, but "possible to install via Xen PV" | 12:28 |
| dmarkey | hmm kernelurl = installer + "/netboot/xen/vmlinuz" | 12:30 |
| cjwatson | dmarkey: if you file a bug on the ubuntu-release-notes project as a reminder, it will happen | 12:39 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: which would you prefer, either we patch xm-debian.cfg, or replicate the dir structure in amd64 | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | oh, it's not possible to make it work without doing that? | 12:42 |
| cjwatson | sigh, guess I'd rather replicate it in amd64 | 12:42 |
| dmarkey | xm-debian.cfg: kernelurl = installer + "/netboot/xen/vmlinuz" | 12:43 |
| dmarkey | :( | 12:43 |
| CIA-3 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r270 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (2 files in 2 dirs): | 12:43 |

| CIA-3 | ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: Daniel Fore! | 12:43 |
| cjwatson | I don't know what the role of xm-debian.cfg is, nor how straightforward it is to override it | 12:44 |
| dmarkey | its really a helper script to automate a load of permanent steps, it downloads the vmlinuz/initrd, which you would otherwise have to do manually | 12:44 |
| dmarkey | err, small steps | 12:45 |
| dmarkey | only bother if you have time. I can document this in the wiki page or something | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | is everything working OK on i386? | 12:53 |
| dmarkey | it installed OK, i'm just going to test pygrub with it | 12:54 |

| cjwatson | it was nearly three years ago, I don't keep notes that far back :) | 14:01 |
| kusum1 | just a rough timespan ? | 14:01 |
| cjwatson | it took a fair bit of polishing after the first version before it worked properly though | 14:01 |
| kusum1 | oh ok | 14:01 |
| cjwatson | if I had to do it from scratch again, I suppose I'd quote two to four weeks | 14:02 |
| kusum1 | abt 2-3 weeks ? | 14:02 |
| kusum1 | ok gr8 | 14:02 |
| kusum1 | thank you | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | remember that this was starting from a position of knowing our installer's partitioning code very well, though | 14:02 |
| cjwatson | about three years of experience with it | 14:02 |
| kusum1 | that's a serious point to note | 14:07 |
| ev | ah ha, I think I've figured out the oem-config-kde bug. | 15:15 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: hey again | 15:18 |
| dmarkey | strange question, but is there a read menuentry changed from 'Ubuntu' to 'Ubuntu' | 15:18 |
| dmarkey | read/reason | 15:19 |
| dmarkey | in grub.cfg | 15:19 |
| dmarkey | god, lemme try that again | 15:19 |
| dmarkey | is there a reason menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic-pae" changed to menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic-pae' | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | yes, it was part of fixing quoting problems that caused the whole thing to fall over in a messy heap if a translator included a character special within quotes | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | grub2 accepts either double or single quotes there | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | see bug 552921 | 15:30 |

| dmarkey | shit | 15:31 |
| dmarkey | that has screwed pygrub | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | I really suggest getting pygrub fixed | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | I don't want to hold back sensible grub2 configuration fixes because they break pygrub | 15:32 |
| dmarkey | oh i'm writing a patch as we speak | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | cool, thanks | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | I committed that patch upstream as well so it won't just be Ubuntu | 15:33 |
| ogra | cjwatson, do you plan any other ubiquity uploads before full close down ? | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | ev: the loop, or the apt error? | 15:33 |
| * ogra committed the omap change but didnt upload | 15:33 | |
| ev | loop | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | ogra: I expect at least one more; please don't upload | 15:33 |
| ogra | cjwatson, right, thats what i thought | 15:33 |
| ev | I'll tackle the apt error next if you're not already on it | 15:34 |
| ogra | just wanted to make sure its not lost :) | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | ev: I was just bringing up a test harness, but if you're already on it then I suggest I should go and see what the state of oem-config on server is instead | 15:34 |
| ev | cjwatson: I'm not yet, actually. I'm in the process of verifying the loop change. | 15:35 |
| ev | but if you want to fix oem-config on the server, that's a-okay by me :) | 15:35 |
| ev | bah, that didn't quite work | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | ev: mostly want to not be doing it in release week this time | 15:40 |
| ev | I'm missing the context on that slightly. Doing what in release week? Fixing oem-config on the server? | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | yes, that happened last cycle | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | cf. 2.1.0 changelog | 15:42 |
| ev | I definitely remember 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 | 15:45 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: is there a reason the memtest entries are still using double quotes | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | they aren't translated yet so haven't needed to switch | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | (plus, they're generated by a separate package) | 16:28 |
| superm1 | ev, have you come across some weird padding where text is getting cut off on the sides or moved above the top at all on any of the GTK pages when you switch languages ever? if so, do you have some recommendations for what to do to make it stay in bounds? | 16:47 |
| ev | superm1: yeah, it's due to the WrapLabel class and text alignment. There's a proposed branch that I haven't had a chance to review yet: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~shlomister/ubiquity/bug-560114-ugly-hack | 16:48 |

| ev | shtylman: okay, I'll try to give you a hand with it if I'm not otherwise buried | 18:01 |
| shtylman | kk :) | 18:01 |
| ev | cjwatson: oem-config works | 18:05 |
| ev | there's still a VT switch to the console briefly, but that's always been there | 18:05 |
| ev | and I imagine it's not something we can fix for Lucid | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | cool - yeah, probably pretty hard to get gdm to reuse an existing X | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | as long as it's very brief | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | would still like to get rid of the EPIPE errors though ... | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | I should hit that with strace | 18:07 |
| * ev out - have a great evening guys | 18:08 | |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: do you know of any more changes to grub.cfg that might be coming down the line before release off the top of your head | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | unlikely to be anything much | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | hopefully zero | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | make sure that your pygrub change handles strings like this | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | 'foo'\''bar' | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | should expand to | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | foo'bar | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | i.e. quoted foo, escaped ', quoted bar | 18:15 |
| dmarkey | i think it would just truncate the title. | 18:16 |
| dmarkey | i will test however | 18:16 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: have you come to any conclusions about the directory structure on the mirrors? | 18:18 |
| dmarkey | all thats needed are symlinks to ../ubuntu-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz} :) | 18:22 |
| cjwatson | that's what I did in the commit above | 18:31 |
| michaelforrest | cjwatson: did you catch the decision that we won't show anything where we were getting the squashed ubuntu logo any more? | 18:41 |
| michaelforrest | it's been a while since I've checked a daily so sorry if this seems late, but I know you had a look at the spec yesterday | 18:42 |
| icarus901 | nice dmarkey :) and an indirect thanks to you cjwatson | 18:48 |
| dmarkey | cjwatson: you're a star | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | michaelforrest: on the boot screen - so lose the circle from that (which should deal with most of it, circles are most visible when distorted)? No, I hadn't seen that. Has the doc team been informed, since that's one screen they're practically guaranteed to have screenshotted? | 18:54 |
| michaelforrest | cjwatson: the latest decision was to show the background colour and nothing else until plymouth is ready | 18:55 |
| michaelforrest | if we definitely can't get the graphics to be precisely rendered | 18:55 |
| michaelforrest | I don't know how to communicate this to the doc team | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | I think we must have the icon at the bottom | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | 18:55 | |
| michaelforrest | if you can't get it to look right, we can't put it in | 18:55 |
| michaelforrest | it's too important from a design / branding perspective | 18:55 |
| michaelforrest | sorry | 18:56 |
| cjwatson | the icon is not particularly susceptible distortion | 18:56 |
| cjwatson | and I'm sorry, I think it's vital | 18:56 |
| michaelforrest | this is a sabdfl thing | 18:56 |
| michaelforrest | we either need to make it right , or we don't put it in | 18:56 |
| cjwatson | I am happy to argue it with him | 18:56 |
| michaelforrest | please do | 18:56 |
| cjwatson | during working hours | 18:56 |
| michaelforrest | yea sorry - forgot you might not still be at work! | 18:57 |
| cjwatson | btw please don't assume I'll see spec changes - they're not a good way to communicate freeze-breaking changes | 18:58 |
| cjwatson | irc (like this) is fine, or e-mail | 18:58 |
| cody-somerville | Does CASPER_GENERATE_UUID=1 not cause update-initramfs to generate uuid.conf in initrd anymore or did it move or something? | 19:35 |
