| ev | cjwatson: good deal. I hadn't realized that was a delta we kept. Did they reject the patch, or has it just been in the queue for ages? | 08:46 |
|---|---|---|
| ara | One bug I just realized in Alpha 2 (and I don't know if it has been reported) | 08:47 |
| ev | oh? | 08:48 |
| ara | Machine with Win 7, installed 64bits size by size, grub works correctly | 08:48 |
| ara | then installed i386 on top of those two, and, although it installs correctly, it does not add a grub entry for self | 08:48 |
| ev | ara: can you file a bug against grub for that? I haven't heard anyone reporting it yet, and a quick scan of the most recent grub bugs doesn't show anything similar. | 08:52 |
| ev | Be sure to include your install logs if you still have them | 08:53 |
| ara | ev, yes, I have them | 08:53 |
| ev | good deal | 08:53 |
| ara | ev, bug 604501 | 09:01 |

| ev | cheers | 09:01 |
| ev | I wonder if I can get away with expensing a Cray to resolve this Perl FTBFS. robbiew? ;) | 09:06 |
| cjwatson | ev: I don't recall whether I ever submitted it; I remember being reluctant because it has to hardcode what counts as a reasonable minimum size | 10:05 |
| ev | noted | 10:07 |
| === amichairo is now known as amichair | ||
| ev | cjwatson: does this look reasonable enough to you - http://paste.ubuntu.com/462456/ | 11:37 |
| cjwatson | ev: pretty much, yes. I think it'd be useful to keep the "Found no resizable partitions" and "Found resizable partition '$bestpart' ($bestpath) with $bestfree bytes free" log messages - they're useful when trawling logs. You can avoid the business with nl - it's OK to just terminate each entry with a newline (which also means that the replace assignment should probably be replace="${replace:+$replace\n$diskpart\t$RET"). | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | ev: oh, what happens if replace contains printf metacharacters? perhaps use $NL and $TAB there instead and then use printf %s "$replace" at the end | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | those are nitpicks though - the general approach looks fine to me | 11:44 |
| ev | awesome, thanks very much for the review and suggestions | 11:45 |
| shadeslayer | cjwatson: can you look at bug 604395 | 14:11 |

| cjwatson | probably isn't helping though. try booting with 'nodmraid' | 14:13 |
| shadeslayer | cjwatson: ok ill tell jussi | 14:23 |
| jussi | ahh, lemme try that. how do I fix it? I wasnt aware I had raid... | 14:27 |
| jussi | cjwatson: btw, did you notice my poke about namiing of iso's? | 14:28 |
| jussi | booting with nodmraid did not solve the situation :( | 14:31 |
| * jussi wonders if its a bios config thing | 14:31 | |
| ev | jussi: can you paste a new syslog and /var/log/partman with nodmraid set | 14:34 |
| ev | also, can you run `sudo parted_devices` and paste the output of that, as well as the output of `udisks --dump` | 14:34 |
| ev | ah, damn. I can't lump resize_use_free and some_partition (replace partition with Ubuntu) into resize_use_free as I have no way of differentiating between the two in do_option | 14:39 |
| cjwatson | jussi: I did, but I'm afraid I'm not currently intending to change it; it's awkward but a change would be too disruptive | 14:46 |
| cjwatson | ev: you should be able to lump them together provided that the argument you provide allows you to distinguish | 14:47 |
| ev | I did think of that, but thought it was pure evil | 14:47 |
| ev | if you're okay with it, then I'm happy to give that a shot | 14:47 |
| ev | I guess it's less evil than reimplementing most of resize_use_free in another option | 14:48 |
| cjwatson | depends how much different it would be I guess | 14:48 |
| ev | yeah | 14:50 |
| jussi | cjwatson: fair enough, perhaps omething to think of for next cycle then? | 15:02 |
| cjwatson | I think I marked a bug about that wontfix back in the breezy cycle or so ... | 15:03 |
| jussi | cjwatson: aww, well thats sad. I guess I give up on it then. thanks | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | sorry, it's just a horrendous pain to change | 15:05 |
| jussi | cjwatson: if its not too much to ask, why is that? I would have thought its just a script...? | 15:06 |
| jussi | or is there a lot depending n it? | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | there's a lot depending on it - loads of people with scripts that know where to grab things from, many not packaged | 15:09 |
| cjwatson | given the choice between breaking things that exist and causing a bit of trouble for new things, I'll pick the latter I'm afraid | 15:09 |
| jussi | k, fair enough. | 15:11 |
| superm1 | ev, would you mind merging trunk into you rework branch? I was going to do some basic testing with it at some point this week with some of my plugins to make sure i wasn't seeing any regressions and noticed that it was FTBFS, but current trunk builds fine | 16:24 |
| ev | superm1: sure | 16:27 |
| ev | for what it's worth, I haven't done the packaging end of things yet | 16:27 |
| ev | which is probably why it fails to build | 16:27 |
| ev | something like this should get you up and running: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462572/ | 16:27 |
| ev | note you'll have to first run cd debian; po2debconf ubiquity.templates > ubiquity.templates-stripped | 16:28 |
| ev | in the bzr branch | 16:28 |
| ev | I've hopefully not broken anything so far, but I'm nearly ready to commit some reworkings of the partitioning plugin that will break KDE at the least | 16:29 |
| superm1 | ev, cool, yeah that should help | 16:45 |
| ev | sorry about not making that more public earlier | 16:47 |
| ev | I should've sent a mail to ubuntu-installer | 16:47 |
| ev | I'm in the process of finishing the ability to resize the largest partition on *each* disk and the ability to replace a partition with Ubuntu. After that the partitioning work should mostly be done, save UI cleanups on the advanced page. | 16:48 |
| superm1 | ok, most of the testing i wanted to do is independent of partitioning in some automated install cases, so hopefully shouldn't be impeded by that | 16:49 |
| ev | The timezone page is a bit of a mess, I'm working on that next, wiring it up to the geonames service I wrote and adding a drop down menu with submenus to the combobox | 16:49 |
| ev | okay | 16:49 |
| ev | so, we've successfully got to the commitment phase for a hosted Ubuntu Stack Exchange. I'd appreciate it if anyone went to the site and pledged to use it by hitting the commit button - http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/7716/ubuntu | 18:37 |
