[00:28] <superm1> ev, okay so looking it over, at least my recovery plugin will may need a fair bit of work to fit in this depending on the intents and what's still missing on your branch; i think a core question is going to be what the plans are for that progress_section widget.  will it be present on *all* pages, including the introduction/first page?
[00:31] <superm1> and further, what's the thought on showing that widget during oem-config too
[07:32] <jussi> ev: I came across https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/288675 - not sure if its related, but wanted to draw your attention to it in anycase. (and yes, I realize it is _old_) :)
[07:32] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 288675 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "no partitions listed in partition table (dup-of: 335376)" [Undecided,New]
[07:32] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 335376 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "[MASTER] ubiquity should warn users about unusable mounted partitions (affects: 6) (dups: 1) (heat: 10)" [High,Fix released]
[09:11] <ev> superm1: wow, awesome work on the packaging branch.  Thanks so much for doing that.  I'll give it a review in a little bit.
[09:13] <ev> superm1: As for the progress section widget, the intention is to display the greeter page, then the prepare to install Ubuntu page, then (if there's no network connection and wirelesss hardware is present) the wireless page, then partitioning.  Once you hit "Install Now" from the partitioning page, the progress section will appear and the core installation process will begin in parallel to the rest of the pages.
[09:13] <ev> I've set it to always display for now to make sure I'm paying attention to the maximum size of the window and how most pages will look.
[09:15] <ev> I'll be doing the debconffilter plumbing to allow this parallel work at the sprint next week
[09:49] <ev> cjwatson: might you be able to tell me what the :sl#: directives in debconf templates mean?  I've been digging through the source and cannot find that processed anywhere.  Apologies if this is immensely obvious.
[09:55] <cjwatson> yeah, they're translation sublevels
[09:56]  * cjwatson hunts for the docs
[09:57] <cjwatson> http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch01s04.html#sublevels
[09:58] <ev> ah!  Very much appreciated, thanks!
[10:02] <ev> ah, that's why.  The source package doesn't have l10n-sync
[10:03] <cjwatson> yeah, none of this is actually used in Ubuntu, but I've made a practice of trying to set the right sublevel comments anyway where possible in order to make future patch submissions easier

[15:02] <ameetp> cjwatson:  Could you or someone from your team take a look at bug 604685 when you get a chance.
[15:02] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 604685 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "[Maverick] No "Forward" button when selecting timezone (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/604685
[15:03] <ev> that's a pygtk bug
[15:04] <ev> notice that the exception starts inside the gobject introspection module
[15:04] <ameetp> ev: oh okay
[15:06] <ameetp> thanks
[15:06] <ev> sure thing
[16:14] <superm1> ev, ah that makes much more sense then about the progress section widget, gotcha.  np on the packaging branch. thanks for the merge
[16:17] <ev> for what it's worth the timezone design is changing slightly.  A combobox doesn't work well (pulls focus to the wrong area), even with submenus, so on michaelforrest1's advice I'm working on writing a menu button that will sit just to the right of what was the combobox but is now an entry widget.
[16:17] <ev> amazed that gtk doesn't have this already
[17:33] <ev> http://people.canonical.com/~evand/tmp/timezone_menu_button.png - michaelforrest, perhaps the wrench icon wouldn't be such a bad fit.
[17:35] <ev> or a cog
[17:40] <michaelforrest> ev: I think something menu-like would be more appropriate
[17:40] <michaelforrest> three lines of a list or whatever
[17:41] <michaelforrest> a cog feels like 'settings' to me
