[02:02] <TeacherTomL> Hi everyone.  I am having a problem installing xmms because it requires GLib (says GLib 1.2.2 in the error message.)  I can't for the life of me find anyplace to download GLib.  GTK, yes, but not the subset GLib.  Any suggestions?
[02:11] <cjwatson> TeacherTomL: this channel is about initial installation rather than installing various packages - suggest you try #ubuntu
[02:11] <CIA-71> grub-installer: cjwatson * r859 ubuntu/debian/po/ (10 files): debconf-updatepo
[02:25] <TeacherTomL> Thanks cjwatson.  I will do that.
[12:48] <ogra> hmm, ev still on vacation ?

[13:37]  * ogra struggles with bug 616581
[13:37] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 616581 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "oem-config fails to run (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 459)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/616581
[13:40] <ogra> if os.path.exists('/usr/bin/xfsettingsd'): .... why the heck would it fail on the next line, xfsettingsd is nonexistent on the images so the condition is false
[13:42] <ogra> (i.e. it shouldnt be executed so shouldnt fai)
[13:42] <cjwatson> if it's an out-of-memory error, then you might just be tweaking something essentially random
[13:42] <ogra> the system has 512M
[13:44] <ogra> i dont think its OOM (and i cant see any indication for that in dmesg)
[13:44] <cjwatson> consider that there may be multiple different problems reported by different people in this bug
[13:44] <cjwatson> which is why I'm always endlessly going on about different people filing different bugs
[13:44] <cjwatson> the crash reported by Tobin is here:
[13:44] <cjwatson>                 extras.append(subprocess.Popen(
[13:44] <cjwatson>                     ['/usr/lib/ubiquity/panel'],
[13:44] <cjwatson>                     stdin=null, stdout=logfile, stderr=logfile,
[13:44] <cjwatson>                     **maybe_drop_privileges))
[13:44] <ogra> right, we all get the same crash currently
[13:45] <ogra> if i comment that part of ubiquity-dm it fails on the next if clause
[13:45] <ogra> if i comment that one too, all works fine
[13:45] <ogra> (as i described in the last comment)
[13:46] <cjwatson> try 'file /usr/lib/ubiquity/panel'
[13:46] <cjwatson> if that looks wrong, consider the possibility that it might be some underlying facility that's buggy, such as the fs returning wrong data
[13:46] <ogra> i have to use a new image first, the one i'm using already removed oem-config
[13:47] <ogra> yeah, thats something i was suspecting
[13:47] <ogra> especially since i get e2fsck errors under that kernel, but no fsck errors at all if i run it on a virgin image on any other HW
[13:48] <cjwatson> random ENOEXEC errors are usually a sign of something below the application layer going wrong, unless the executable file in question really is toast
[13:49] <ogra> well, we got that new toolchain after the sprint so i'm a bit careful if i see NOEXEC now
[13:49] <ogra> could always be a broken binary
[13:51] <cjwatson> oh
[13:51] <cjwatson> lp_archive@cocoplum:~/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubiquity$ dpkg -c ubiquity-frontend-gtk_2.3.7_all.deb | grep panel
[13:51] <cjwatson> -rwxr-xr-x root/root      9660 2010-08-15 09:17 ./usr/lib/ubiquity/panel
[13:51] <cjwatson> there are three very important bad letters there
[13:52] <cjwatson> or maybe this is clearer
[13:52] <cjwatson> E: ubiquity-frontend-gtk: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object ./usr/lib/ubiquity/panel
[13:52] <ogra> awww
[13:53] <ogra> well, that explains the second issue, but not why the xfsettingsd lines are executed
[13:54] <cjwatson> separate bug report if it's still reproducible after this
[13:58] <ogra> thanks a lot for the help, i would never have thought of such an issue
[14:01] <cjwatson> I'm working on a fix, just will take a while to build
[14:25] <ryanakca> I'm modifying a LiveCD for work (the local university), it'll be distributed to all of the CS students / used as the image for our labs, so this has a rather high priority on my end: Wubi successfully copies the contents of the CD to the hard drive, but when it boots from the HD, ubiquity / whichever installer doesn't get called to finish the installation. The end product is a system identical to my LiveCD. How can I fix this? I've ...
[14:25] <ryanakca> ... had to revert to revision 189 because of random build and install errors.
[14:25] <ryanakca> I've been meaning to speak with xivulon, but he's been away for the past few days. Is there anybody else I can talk to regarding it?
[14:27] <ryanakca> BRB, kernel upgrade requires a reboot.

[17:04] <robbiew> cjwatson: I have a question, that I should know the answer to...are we enabling jockey in the installer?
[17:04] <robbiew> we are right?...we being ev
[17:05] <robbiew> spec has :
[17:05] <robbiew> [ev] Install ubuntu-restricted-addons if option checked: INPROGRESS
[17:05] <robbiew> [ev] Create copy for the 'needed for a better experience' checkbox and get legal to sign off on it: INPROGRESS
[17:05] <robbiew> [ev] Add a Jockey hook: TODO

[17:06] <cjwatson> ogra: ^- any chance you could test-build and try the above, if it's feasible?
[17:06] <cjwatson> robbiew: I won't really know until ev gets back, but I thought we were still intending to do that
[17:06] <cjwatson> I suppose it's at risk at this point
[17:07] <robbiew> cjwatson: ok...I'll follow up with ev
[17:07] <robbiew> last we spoke, I think he had made some good progress there
[17:07] <cjwatson> I haven't spoken with ev since debconf
[17:08] <ogra> cjwatson, i'll try it over the weekend
[17:09] <ogra> the awesomeness of the preinstalled images is that i can just dpkg -i packages in the rootfs as needed ;)
[17:13] <CIA-71> ubiquity: cjwatson * r4214 ubiquity/debian/ (changelog rules): Remove build-locale on clean.
