shtylmanev: I ran through the installer yesterday in virtualbox, looking for the high cpu usage scenario, couldn't make it happen... so for this release I guess we will have to let that one go?15:20
evshtylman: weird, I can easily reproduce the slow responsiveness of the UI quite easily.  Typing on the user setup page goes really slowly.15:21
evshtylman: but yeah, if we cannot get to the bottom of it, we'll just have to release note it.15:21
cjwatsonwhy do we configure the bootloader in oem-config?15:21
cjwatsonthis seems bizarre and I'm strongly inclined to remove it15:22
evshtylman: do you have time to look into bug 568890?  Riddell mentioned it and I said I'd look at it, but it involves creating a combobox of sorts, and I'm tied up in migration-assistant hell.15:22

evshtylman: weird15:22
shtylmanev: yea, I can look at that15:23

DASPRiDcjwatson, RC?16:27
evcjwatson: yeah, it is.  Marked.16:27
cjwatsonRC plus two fixes16:27
cjwatsonmaybe not relevant though16:27
cjwatsonDASPRiD: please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from your installation attempt to that bug16:27
DASPRiDcjwatson, lemme test that again when i get home16:27
cjwatsonI won't be able to figure out the problem without those16:28
cjwatsonyou can extract them using "save debug logs" from the installer's main menu16:28
DASPRiDcjwatson, kay, about doing the same: i described what i did in my first comment16:28
cjwatsonyeah, that sounds like it would take quite a while for me to set up so I would prefer to get logs from you in the first instance if possible16:29
DASPRiDsure, as i said, when i get home :)16:29
cjwatsonso in general, it seems more likely to be related to attempting to reuse an existing software RAID device16:29
DASPRiDhow long will you be here today?16:29
cjwatsonnot sure, but I leave my client permanently connected to IRC16:29
DASPRiDso do i, but i'm talking about real "being here" :)16:30
cjwatsonI'll be around on and off for maybe six more hours, although the last few hours of that will be more off than on.  I'm on UK time.16:30
cjwatsonev: thanks16:30
DASPRiDcjwatson, i'll be able to test it in about an hour, max two16:31
