CIA-71ubiquity: jriddell * r4215 trunk/ (8 files in 5 dirs): Add prepare page to KDE frontend11:10
Riddellplease check for sanity ^^11:10
Riddellev: hi13:51
evRiddell: hiya13:52
Riddellev: so, ubiquity kde frontend, what's best to do?13:53
RiddellI've ported the prepare page over13:53
Riddelldo I want to do the fiddly stuff to get it installing after the partitioner page?13:54
evYeah, I would suggest doing that to keep things consistent13:54
evif you have the time, of course13:54
RiddellI have until thursday13:55
Riddellit's going to need your help13:55
evsure thing13:55
RiddellI see that find_next_step() is added13:56
evright, that handles pages that occur out of the normal flow13:57
evso, plugin pages that come after partitioning13:57
evas the main run loop is sitting on the copying files plugin (install.py) at that point13:57
RiddellI suspect some changes are needed to run()  ?14:00
Riddellhaving added in find_next_step() and calling it from debconffilter_done()  it starts installing after the partitioning page but gets stuck at disk scanning and the UI doesn't change to the next page14:04
Riddellso obviously more changes needed14:04
* ogra sighs 14:05
ograhow often does ubiquity compile the keymaps during a single build ?14:05
ograit takes ages on armel14:05
* ogra watches it doing that for the third time now14:05
CIA-71debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r699 ubuntu/ (19 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.7914:20
CIA-71debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r700 ubuntu/list-devices-hurd: consistency14:22
CIA-71debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r701 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.79ubuntu114:24
CIA-71ubiquity: cjwatson * r4216 ubiquity/debian/ (changelog rules ubiquity.dirs-any ubiquity.install-any): Update build rules for changes in debian-installer-utils 1.78.14:27
Riddellah, ev.14:35
evRiddell: I may have missed the context on that.  My IRC bouncer is all over the place today.14:40
Riddell14:00 < Riddell> I suspect some changes are needed to run()  ?14:41
Riddell14:04 < Riddell> having added in find_next_step() and calling it from debconffilter_done()  it starts installing after the partitioning page but gets stuck at disk scanning and  the UI doesn't change to the next page14:41
Riddell14:04 < Riddell> so obviously more changes needed14:41
evif you can shove it in a public branch, I can take a look at it today/tomorrow.14:54
Riddellev: pushed to ~jr/ubiquity/ubiquity-maverick-kubuntu/15:02
evthanks15:02
superm1hi ev, wb15:03
evthanks!15:03
evand thanks for your fixes while I was away15:04
superm1no prob, ubiquity appeared to be in a bit of a bad state with that last upload15:04
superm1the progress bar string and bar are still in quite a mess, but it should at least install now consistently15:05
evindeed, I'll be furiously trying to iron out the remaining wrinkles in the run up to Thursday15:05
Riddellev: does the wireless page do anything currently?15:06
evRiddell: yes, if you have a wireless card present (so, no in a VM)15:06
superm1oh wow beta freeze already this week, that really sneaks up on you15:07
evtell me about it15:07
evwhen I left it was merely feature freeze! :)15:08
Riddellev: what does it do?15:08
evRiddell: connects you to an available wireless network15:08
Riddellev: do I want to port it to KDE?15:08
evRiddell: I think it's an "if you have time" thing15:09
evnot critical15:09
evhttp://docs.google.com/View?id=dfkkjjcj_101gnkrpg5v - for roughly what it should look like15:09
evwe moved the icons to the left of the text for a reason that currently escapes me15:10
Riddellev: what happened to the machine name and the advanced dialogue box?15:13
evgone the way of the dodo15:13
evthe bootloader options I'll need to fold into the advanced partitioning page before Thursday15:13
evbut we agreed to get rid of the UI option to set the hostname at UDS (you can still set it through preseeding).15:14
Riddellhow is it set?15:14
ev`SET netcfg/get_hostname ubuntu-desktop | sudo debconf-communicate` would do it15:16
evor by putting netcfg/get_hostname=ubuntu-desktop on the kernel command line15:17
Riddellev: I mean what's it set to if you don't preseed it15:18
evubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-laptop, depending on the output of laptop-detect15:19
everr15:20
evthe username plus "-desktop" or "-laptop"15:20
* ogra wonders how many more hours he will have to watch ubiquity compiling keymaps 15:20
evheh15:21
ryanakcaHow would I go by debugging why adding automatic-ubiquity to the kernel line doesn't cause ubiquity to run? Where would I start looking?16:15
ograYIPPIEE !17:20
ogracjwatson, arch any for ubiquity works17:20
* ogra didnt expect the test to be *that* time consuming though, i wasnt aware it compiles each and every udeb during build17:21
cjwatsoncool, thanks17:21
