[00:10] lool: ping [00:11] whats your take on bug 525512? [00:11] Launchpad bug 525512 in libtime-modules-perl "[MIR] libtime-modules-perl" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/525512 [00:18] bah ccache generates a different hash each time. [00:20] hi all. what jaunty package supplies gnome-desktop-2.0? [00:20] and is there a way to search for filenames in packages not installed? [00:21] hdon: apt-file [00:21] RADF: thanks i'll try it === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [00:41] Ok I would like to get back into programming again.I havent really programmed anything since my high school days, I'm 30 years old. I know QBasic and Visual Basic. Is there any development environment or language that can get me up and running and making apps as easy as visualbasic used to do for me? [00:43] vb6 or vb.net? [00:44] LinuxGuy2009: Python is excellent at getting up and running quickly; it lacks an awesome IDE (mainly because IDEs are hard to write for dynamic languages). [00:46] RAOF, surely gambas for someone who mostly knows vb/ [00:46] ? [00:46] RAOF: Ok. I did find a bunch of python tutorial videos that got me started with python. I didn't know where to go to make an app that runs in an actual window instead of just a basic CLI app. Any tips? [00:47] gambas pretty good to use? [00:47] gambas is a sort of "inspired by vb6" affair. i've never used it in anger, but some people swear by it [00:48] directhex: I've never used or looked at gambas, so I can't offer a useful comment. [00:49] LinuxGuy2009: The pygtk tutorials are reasonable; they show how to build a gui app with GTK+ [00:50] or there's MD. no gui designer for vb.net in it, but c# is a reasonable route from vb knowledge. ish. [00:50] LinuxGuy2009: also consider PyQT and the QT4 toolkit, in my opinion it's easier to understand coming from a Windows Forms perspective. [00:50] directhex: I want to really make a cd ripper app that combines all the best features of apps already out there. Think gambas could allow me to do this? [00:51] LinuxGuy2009: I'd personally recommend using either Python or Mono/C# [00:51] LinuxGuy2009, with enough effort, anything can [00:51] ok cool [00:51] Ill just try to find some good documentation and go from there I suppose. [00:51] LinuxGuy2009, my weapon of choice is c#, but everyone's tastes are different. python is very popular in ubuntuland, but as noted, there's no gui designer [00:51] well. integrated one [00:52] right [00:52] you can use a gui designer tool like glade, then hook the gui design file into your code by hand [00:52] that sounds complicated. [00:52] yeah and QT has similar tools as well, slightly more streamlined IMO [00:52] LinuxGuy2009: not complicated at all, actually.... [00:52] hmm ok [00:53] LinuxGuy2009: you basically use a form designer just like your VB designer and save a form.xml [00:53] Ill add glade to my tools to learn [00:53] Oh thats easy enough. [00:53] LinuxGuy2009: and then you just call some load("form.xml") and then you can start referring to Button1 on the form and so on [00:53] Oh nice thats what Im after [00:53] yeah [00:53] Ok ill stick with python. [00:54] it also separates UI code from UI design (data) which is nice. [00:54] cool [00:54] LinuxGuy2009: if you're using Python, look at both GTKBuilder/Glade (GTK) and the PyQT4 equivalent feature.... [00:54] you might find you like one toolkit over the other [00:55] ok good tips [00:55] I feel QT4's API is a bit more "modern" and shiny than GTK, but again, everyone has his opinions [00:55] LinuxGuy2009: there's also a great book on Python and PyQt4, http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html [00:56] yeah that was my next question. [00:56] I've skimmed that book before and found it really nice [00:56] you can start from it with zero knowledge of python or QT4 [00:56] and quickly become productive [00:57] nice [00:57] and as you go deeper into the book even advanced QT4 users learn something new [00:57] if you don't like buying books, I'm sure you can orient yourself with online tutorials for either GTK or QT (I tend to do that), but books tend to be a lot more coherently organized [00:57] I guess I would really benefit from a few good books. [00:58] i always like a good book [00:58] yeah [00:58] sadly they're in short supply for c# on linux [00:59] directhex: agreed :( but I do respect GTK# a lot for how much they "cleaned up *puts on flamesuit*" GTK's API [00:59] C looks pretty intimidating to me. [00:59] LinuxGuy2009: C would definitely not be my recommendation to someone from a VB background trying to write his first Linux GUI app :) [00:59] ok thats comforting [00:59] LinuxGuy2009: C would definitely not be my recommendation to someone from any background trying to write any Linux GUI app :) [01:00] hi all. anyone know how to add gnome panel applets installed in /usr/local to the bonobo activation path? [01:01] Ok so i think my plan is to start with python and make basic apps like i did with VB back in the day. Build a GUI calculator etc. With python and glade. Then Ill just build as I go. [01:01] Thanks a bunch guys! [01:02] Blinken ,Umbrello and Smb4K (among other applications) depend on kdesktop and it's packages. These apps also depend on Qt3/4. Is it common to remove the whole KDE-Desktop stuff and though run dozens of applications which use Qt or should I *finally* switch over to GTK+? [01:02] I mean from a performance and DRY point of view. [01:28] Aquina: umbrello is a KDE app, so I don't understand what you are trying to do? === jldugger is now known as pwnguin [03:05] i finally solved my sbuild+ccache problem! [03:05] well at least, i know what's going on now [03:05] ... [03:05] http://paste.debian.net/72238/ [03:05] that took me all of two days, i think [03:06] ouch [03:06] well, the first day was without patching ccache [03:06] the second day involved sticking printfs everywhere in ccache [03:07] and finally, removing the unlink [03:07] hmm [06:40] good morning [06:41] Development and MOTU Q&A Session in #ubuntu-classroom in 20m === nobuto is now known as nobuto_ [06:51] ccheney: do OOo patches get forwarded to OOo-proper or Go-OOo? [06:51] maco: ubuntu patches are located in go-oo git tree [06:52] maco: for patches that are useful to upstream generally they are attached to related bug reports in official OOo issue tracker [06:52] ok [06:52] maco: they require copyright assignment though so for anything more than trivial fixes you probably have to do that first to get into official OOo === nobuto_ is now known as pores_n [06:53] ccheney: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/512395 [06:53] Launchpad bug 512395 in openoffice.org "Openoffice.org's .desktop files do not contain translation domain info" [Wishlist,New] === pores_n is now known as pores_n_ === pores_n_ is now known as nobuto [06:54] maco: I've avoided copyright assignment requirements in the past by describing in words what the patch has to do to make it trivial to create one, but not actually provide it. [06:54] maco: yea i need to apply that to ubuntu version, that particular patch isn't even in go-oo (one of the only ones like that) [06:55] ccheney: but it should end up in go-oo or ooo at some point too right? not just stay in ubuntu? [06:55] maco: well it is adding just: +X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=ooo-build [06:55] so i think that is sorta Ubuntu specific [06:55] * maco re-reads [06:55] oh hey the word ubuntu is in there [06:56] i thought this was something specific to just our use of rosetta but maybe i misremember [06:56] That is Ubuntu-specific. [06:56] (and yes, related to rosetta) [06:56] yes i just fail at reading [06:57] i thought it was X-Gettext-Domain [06:57] maco: the rest of the patch is Ubuntu specific as well, so i will be adding that, it just wasn't high priority in the past since we don't use rosetta in OOo atm [06:57] and this is why i shouldnt try to review patches after midnight! [06:58] if anyone that is familar enough with rosetta wants to help fix OOo's bugs relating to that i would welcome it, i think i will probably be very short on time to fix it for maverick :-\ [07:01] * ccheney headed off to bed now, bbl [08:00] it's Patch Day! Anyone with time to help review patches, please come to #ubuntu-reviews and join in! === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan [08:19] Anyone around who knows about upstart? [08:35] Had a question. Is there a good possibility that this bug will be fixed in 10.04? [08:35] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/563878 [08:35] Launchpad bug 563878 in plymouth "Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI graphics driver" [Low,Triaged] [08:36] anon^_^, depends if the ati graphics driver starts supporting kms [08:36] You can just barely make out the pass field if you need to enter it [08:36] it affects both ati and nvidia [08:37] after you install a proprietary driver the boot screen changes from native res to 640x480 [08:37] anon^_^: I suspect the chances are low, as it doesn't meet the criteria for a normal Stable Release Update: it's more likely to be fixed in maverick. [08:38] and its nothing that can be fixed in ubuntu, its up to the driver manufacturers [08:38] The issue isn't that the driver ir proprietary, it's that it only provides a 640x480 framebuffer before X starts. [08:38] ogra: We could provide a special alternate image, but that's really just hiding the issue. [08:40] wish i had a camera around, text is all over when you run LUKS and you're required to enter a passphrase to unlock partitions [08:40] anon^_^: You might be able to avoid that by using the text theme. [08:41] i was hoping not to :x === crankyadmin_afk is now known as crankyadmin [08:42] the new bootsplash is purty, or it was.. [08:45] The issue is the balance of risk and benefit. I'm not a person who makes those decisions, but since it's installed for *everyone*, it's hard to know that someone else's system won't break if different graphics are added. See comment #5 for the rationale applied by the release team. I imagine a similar rationale would be at least considered by the SRU team. [08:54] Speaking of boot sru, there's a patch for two fsck/mountall/plymouth issues, with positve prelimiary testing, the problem is affecting quite a few users, quite badly. At this stage, is there anything more that could be done to facilitate a possible SRU? Bug #553745 and Bug #571707 [08:54] Launchpad bug 553745 in plymouth "plymouthd crashed with SIGSEGV in ply_event_loop_process_pending_events()" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/553745 [08:54] Launchpad bug 571707 in mountall "fsck progress stalls at boot, plymouthd/mountall eats CPU" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/571707 [08:59] persia on the flipside of that argument, if the bug effects all users of proprietary graphics and you leave everyone to fend for themselves, you're going to end up with a lot of people offering different solutions. This could be good or bad depending on how you look at it [09:00] arand_: I think someone just has to do the SRU process. Since you put it in a PPA, you seem a reasonable candidate :) [09:00] !sru [09:00] Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [09:00] The faster an official solution gets out there the less likelyhood of people messing around in configuration files and causing havoc [09:00] anon^_^: Indeed. This is why I'm glad I'm not one of the folks that makes that decision :) [09:00] But I'm not convinced there exists a current solution, which gets in the way. [09:01] there was one offered on softpedia of all places [09:01] I hadn't tried that yet [09:01] persia, there is a very bad one [09:01] http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [09:01] ogra: Hrm? [09:01] persia, proposing to edit the grub config [09:01] I started out with editing grub's config file [09:01] that didn't work [09:01] That's not the right way to do it. [09:01] we have about 100 open grub bugs atm [09:02] editing the grub header didn't work either [09:02] The right way to do it is to provide alternate artwork, and a fallback model. [09:02] that are caused by it [09:02] it worked for some nvidia users [09:02] supposedly [09:02] Yeah, but it's in the category of "works for a couple people and breaks everyone else". [09:02] the prob is that one of the blogs this solution is on uses some weird css that replaces " with backticks [09:02] and people copy paste the code lines [09:03] It needs a fix that is actually a fix, rather than a workaround. This either is a fix in the drivers (up to the driver providers), or a workaround by providing alternate artwork. [09:03] right [09:03] where's sabdfl when you need him? [09:03] lol [09:03] anon^_^: Until a fix like I've described exists, nobody can do anything useful with the bug. Doesn't matter whom. [09:03] but that doesnt solve the issue with people blogging bloken solutions and sheep following them [09:04] \*broken [09:04] persia: Should I try to ping Steve L about it? I'm guessing the next step is to try to push it into -proposed, no? [09:04] uvesafb is not necessarily going to be a good idea. Is that going to break suspend for people? [09:04] arand_: You shouldn't have to ping anyone specific: just follow the procedure, and if you need a sponsor to upload somewhere, use the sponsoring process. [09:04] !sponsor [09:05] !sponsorship [09:05] !botcomeback [09:05] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess [09:05] :) [09:05] No, the bot's here. I'm just trying to get it to talk about stuff it doesn't understand [09:05] ah [09:06] nice that it doesnt error into the channel [09:06] Depends. If you log into the bot, you can make it error into the channel when you tell it to do things, which can be useful for e.g. bot brain discussions, but yeah, most of the time it tries to be quiet. [09:25] didrocks: hoi, did you already hear something about an empathy regression/bug in lucid? [09:30] sebner: not really, I guess kenvandine is following more than I empathy. Do you have any bug report to point me to? [09:31] didrocks: not yet, I just wanted to confirm, I haven't found one and you are the last uploader but I'm opening one [09:31] sebner: sure :) [09:38] didrocks: hmm, a little bit short, please tell me what debug info you need, (seems like an regression as there is an old bug report about something similar (only jabber though), Fix Released), https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/576290 [09:38] Launchpad bug 576290 in empathy "Last upload renders contact list empty" [Undecided,New] === pths is now known as pthsWork [09:53] sebner: oh, there is a, upstream change to take the gconf key about not showing unconnected people by default on that upload === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz [09:53] sebner: let me grab the key to check with you, one sec [09:54] sebner: /apps/empathy/ui/show_offline [09:54] sebner: should be on by default btw [09:54] sebner: (upstream is off by default) [09:56] oh [09:57] didrocks: ah, right sorry. [09:57] didrocks: at least it doesn't respect my configs :P [09:57] sebner: no pb ;) it was an upstream bug to not take the value into account ;) [09:57] sebner: "doesn't respect"? do you have the gconf value set to false and it behaves differently? [09:58] didrocks: well, I configured empathy to show my offline contacts, the update yesterday changed it evidently [09:59] sebner: right, but normally it respects your gconf value. I don't have a setup running right now, but I'll check again [09:59] didrocks: then we have found a bug anyways ^^ [09:59] sebner: I guess so :) [10:00] didrocks: should I comment on the bug or will you? [10:00] sebner: let me first perform some check on a clean install [10:00] aye aye [10:10] sebner: what version do you have btw, 2.30.1 or 2.30.0.1? [10:15] didrocks: 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 [10:16] sebner: ok, just to ensure :) [10:16] sebner: btw, I mixed up, it's off by default for us, and on for upstream [10:16] (still dist-upgrading on my netbook ;)) [10:17] didrocks: :) [10:18] didrocks: it isn't karmic -> lucid though, I used lucid before, It's just the empathy update [10:19] sebner: yeah, I just wanted to ensure that it was related to the update. So, just to ensure, yourggconf value is true or false? [10:19] didrocks: true [10:20] didrocks: update changed it to false [10:20] sebner: that's intended, it's the default and the old default was true (but not taken into account). The value changed, but not the result in the ui [10:21] didrocks: shouldn't it _not_ overrule my settings? [10:22] sebner: it's just distro default. Your setting (in ~/.gconfd) shouldn't have changed [10:22] good morning [10:22] K'day [10:48] Hi all... I'm trying to packaging a lib for ubuntu (karmic) but I have some problems with SHLIB in amd64 (i386 is fine). There are knowd issue for SHLIB in amd64? [10:49] s/knowd/known/ [10:49] l3on, #ubuntu-motu is probably a better channel for packaging [10:49] ok tnx :) [11:07] zyga: i've solved it! [11:08] hyperair: tell me about it [11:08] :-) [11:08] joaopinto: where do you see "update-manager -d" in the release notes? [11:08] zyga: i commented out an unlink line in ccache, hence stopping ccache from cleaning up its things. then i ran one build, copied away the tempdir, and ran another build. then i diff'd the .i files [11:08] zyga: the difference was.... -g stuffed the full path into the files [11:09] zyga: so i've gotten around that by patching sbuild to stop randomizing build directories. [11:09] zyga: oh [11:09] hyperair: oh :D [11:09] * zyga talks to himself [11:09] hehehe [11:09] sbuild is naughty! [11:10] slangasek, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004overview, do-release-upgrade -d, sorry. it's do-release* not u-m [11:10] zyga: i think sbuild randomizes the build directories for its fallback mode (i.e. no chroot) to work [11:10] oh wait, yes, it's also on the u-m instructions: "Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d"" [11:11] arand: bug #571707> yes, I'm looking at it, though I'm also only intermittently connected to the network right now so it's a bit slow going - if you can give me until the weekend I should be able to get that staged for SRU [11:11] Launchpad bug 571707 in mountall "fsck progress stalls at boot, plymouthd/mountall eats CPU" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/571707 [11:11] isn't changing /etc/default/apport sufficient to enable apport ?

[13:43] and it only happens since about mid of lucid [13:43] ogra: guest or host? [13:43] we have dug through the upstream changes (we being asac and me) but havent found anything obvious [13:43] guest indeed [13:44] (since it happens at unpacking of packages inside the VM) [13:44] Er.. [13:45] Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean that another Ubuntu version on the host didn't make it go away. [13:46] Other folks reported the same problem around the same time on karmic hosts. [13:46] right, its the lucid guest being at fault [13:47] Well, it's probably QEmu's fault, but it only happens with guests newer than karmic+½ or so. :) [13:47] and the fact that enabling error reporting in the kernel alignment or using dbgsym packages of apt and dpkg both fix it point very clearly to a race of some kind [13:48] It may be worth noting that lucid saw a transition in armel from ARMv6 to ARMv7a+Thumb2 for lots of core packages.

[13:53] soren: I have a hanged version ctrl+z around too [13:53] in the same package as ogra [13:54] one qemu is from stock lucid with debug symbols [13:54] the other is built locally without optimize [13:54] I posted backtraces from both to the bug report [13:54] if you have any hints as what to inspect please tell me [13:54] A good start would be the output of "thread apply all bt full" [13:55] both have just one thread IIRC but let me check [13:55] hmm, lovely [13:56] lool: I dunno, the bug was assigned to you, I wanted your take on it [13:57] ogra, soren: added to the bug report [13:58] zyga: ta [13:59] soren: hmm? ambiguous command for my gdb [13:59] zyga: "thanks" :) [13:59] :D [14:00] * zyga was hoping to learn some arcane gdb feature [14:02] Nothing jumps out at me. I didn't really expect it to. [14:03] If I'd have to guess (without having looked at code /at all/), it's an interrupt the gets lost somewhere. It's trying to read something, and due to a race, the interrupt from the emulated disk controller gets lost or otherwise ends up not being handled, and then it gets stuck. [14:03] It's the exact sort of problem I had in the i386 and x86-64 code two years ago. [14:04] so just apply your fix for us to arm then :P [14:04] The only reason we saw those was because of kvm being "a bit" faster than plain qemu. [14:04] soren: is there any internal structure that we could look at to see pending interrupts? I'm not really sure how qemu works internally [14:04] i'll pay you a beer [14:04] :) [14:04] how to nicely set the email address created by dch -i? is it possible without an environment variable, maybe a configuration file? [14:05] it needs an environment variable (DEBEMAIL), but many folks set that in .bashrc or similar. [14:05] nh2: ~/.devscripts [14:06] soren: That works for you? It never worked for DEBEMAIL for me :( [14:06] nh2: Oh, persia's right. [14:06] persia: No, my bad. [14:06] Oh well. I was prepared to be excited. [14:07] ogra, zyga: I'd really love to stare at this for a few hours, but I'm really tied up these couple of days. I was just looking at the bug while taking a break from the stuff I /ought/ to be doing :) === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [14:07] soren: ack [14:08] soren, persia: hmm, my email in the shell configs is somewhat ugly (I share all of them automatically) [14:09] nh2: Feel free to investigate *why* DEBEMAIL doesn't work in ~/.devscripts, and make it work. I suspect the reason it doesn't work is more philosophical than technical, but I've never investigated. [14:10] persia: I found it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=241939 [14:10] Debian bug 241939 in devscripts "'dch' doesn't take DEBEMAIL from ~/.devscripts" [Wishlist,Open] [14:10] persia: "I don't intend to implement this patch: the DEBEMAIL variable is recognised by scripts in several other Debian-related packages and is not devscripts-specific" [14:12] nh2: RIght, so you could do .bashrc.debian (as suggested), or find all the tools that use DEBEMAIL, and come up with some universal way to manage that configuration. [14:12] The latter is bundles of work, mind you, especially the part about convincing everyone to converge :) [14:14] ma10: /wi1 [14:14] ark [14:14] mako: are you around? [14:17] soren, we'll use you for fallback staring then :) [14:17] * ogra stares at this bug since several months now ... it didnt move ! [14:18] (it grows slowly though) [14:18] persia: well, although I don't like that, you are right, and this is already layer 4 of my task stack (I actually want to work with my computer -> fix touchpad -> patch gnome -> create package -> fix devscripts?) Lost in recursion ;-) [14:19] Yeah, I started because I wanted to play vegastrike :) Several years later I still don't play vegastrike (and it's not even in the archives in a useful form anymore). [14:19] by the way, is ubuntu-devel the right place to ask people for testing such changes? [14:20] If you're patching GNOME, you may find #ubuntu-testing or #ubuntu-desktop more targeted channels for test requests. #ubuntu-bugs can help with some stuff (verification of the issue in another environment, etc.) and #ubuntu-reviews with others (helping test a patch, ensuring the right folk notice it, etc.) [14:20] lool: backuppc has been in main since forever according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc, so the MIR might be worth looking into === radoe_ is now known as radoe [14:31] Hmm, is there any documentation (more readable than the actual code) on what the karmic->lucid updater does? So I can check what it missed due to X crashing. [14:31] jae, no [14:32] hi all [14:32] Ah, it's the old "it won't crash, so we don't need that" reiserfsck stance, right? (Me? Cynical?) [14:32] why CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y in the 10.04 kernel ? [14:37] aLeSD, because it boots a lot faster with it ... [14:38] aLeSD, its switched to ondemand after booting [14:38] ogra: there's a lot of people saying that 10.04 use more energy of W7 [14:38] aLeSD, see /etc/init.d/ondemand [14:38] ok [14:38] thats called immediately if the boot is done [14:39] so ubuntu still uses ondemand by default, just not for the first few seconds [14:40] Showing CPU speed in bootcharts would be fun. [14:40] heh [14:40] i think plars works on showing RAM consumption [14:40] could be a funny followup task :) [14:44] jae, there is a log on /var/log related to the update process I don't remember the exact filename right now === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === pgraner-afk is now known as pgraner [15:16] Hello, I have a macbook 7,1. And ubuntu, and no other linux works [15:16] mid 2010, non of them boot. I think it has to do with initrid and the sata controller [15:17] which is just mcp89 as far as i know [15:17] figured I would come here to mention to developement team [15:17] and willing to get any info your need to me to get or test [15:17] it is 100% not user error [15:18] Older software boots, or nothing at all? [15:19] persia: nothing [15:19] Hm. I wouldn't even know how to suggest you file a bug that would contain the right information then :( [15:19] persia: i think its initrid, persia want my reasoning? [15:20] exactly, i don't even know whats needed [15:20] Well, does it boot when you don't use an initrd? [15:20] persia: is that even supported? [15:20] well how do i boot without it? [15:20] Chipzz: Yes. [15:20] persia: and opensolaris boots [15:20] i am not concerned with installing [15:20] it wont boot even [15:20] fleebailey33: Don't add an initramfs on your kernel commandline. [15:21] persia: will try [15:21] also friends with z00dax from centos. so im trying a suggestion from him as well [15:43] ogra: Mine hangs at iso-codes as well. :( [15:43] soren, we should just remove that package from the distro ! [15:44] and then every subsequent one where it hangs ... at some point the hanging *will* stop [15:44] ogra: Oh.. Logging in on tty2 made it segfault. [15:44] sweet [15:44] thats a normal VM then i get it ? [15:45] not rootstock or some other wrapper around it [15:45] Normal vm. [15:45] using rootstock i have no access to the VM [15:45] no ttys or anything [15:46] I used rootstock like you said in the bug report. that created an fs image with ubuntu-standard in it. Then I booted it and went to install ubuntu-netbook. [15:46] i captured another backtrace btw [15:46]
