[11:10] <CIA-71> ubiquity: jriddell * r4215 trunk/ (8 files in 5 dirs): Add prepare page to KDE frontend
[11:10] <Riddell> please check for sanity ^^
[13:51] <Riddell> ev: hi
[13:52] <ev> Riddell: hiya
[13:53] <Riddell> ev: so, ubiquity kde frontend, what's best to do?
[13:53] <Riddell> I've ported the prepare page over
[13:54] <Riddell> do I want to do the fiddly stuff to get it installing after the partitioner page?
[13:54] <ev> Yeah, I would suggest doing that to keep things consistent
[13:54] <ev> if you have the time, of course
[13:55] <Riddell> I have until thursday
[13:55] <Riddell> it's going to need your help
[13:55] <ev> sure thing
[13:56] <Riddell> I see that find_next_step() is added
[13:57] <ev> right, that handles pages that occur out of the normal flow
[13:57] <ev> so, plugin pages that come after partitioning
[13:57] <ev> as the main run loop is sitting on the copying files plugin (install.py) at that point
[14:00] <Riddell> I suspect some changes are needed to run()  ?
[14:04] <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 page
[14:04] <Riddell> so obviously more changes needed
[14:05]  * ogra sighs 
[14:05] <ogra> how often does ubiquity compile the keymaps during a single build ?
[14:05] <ogra> it takes ages on armel
[14:05]  * ogra watches it doing that for the third time now
[14:20] <CIA-71> debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r699 ubuntu/ (19 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.79
[14:22] <CIA-71> debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r700 ubuntu/list-devices-hurd: consistency
[14:24] <CIA-71> debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r701 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.79ubuntu1
[14:27] <CIA-71> ubiquity: cjwatson * r4216 ubiquity/debian/ (changelog rules ubiquity.dirs-any ubiquity.install-any): Update build rules for changes in debian-installer-utils 1.78.
[14:35] <Riddell> ah, ev.
[14:40] <ev> Riddell: I may have missed the context on that.  My IRC bouncer is all over the place today.
[14:41] <Riddell> 14:00 < Riddell> I suspect some changes are needed to run()  ?
[14:41] <Riddell> 14:04 < 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 page
[14:41] <Riddell> 14:04 < Riddell> so obviously more changes needed
[14:54] <ev> if you can shove it in a public branch, I can take a look at it today/tomorrow.
[15:02] <Riddell> ev: pushed to ~jr/ubiquity/ubiquity-maverick-kubuntu/
[15:02] <ev> thanks
[15:03] <superm1> hi ev, wb
[15:03] <ev> thanks!
[15:04] <ev> and thanks for your fixes while I was away
[15:04] <superm1> no prob, ubiquity appeared to be in a bit of a bad state with that last upload
[15:05] <superm1> the progress bar string and bar are still in quite a mess, but it should at least install now consistently
[15:05] <ev> indeed, I'll be furiously trying to iron out the remaining wrinkles in the run up to Thursday
[15:06] <Riddell> ev: does the wireless page do anything currently?
[15:06] <ev> Riddell: yes, if you have a wireless card present (so, no in a VM)
[15:07] <superm1> oh wow beta freeze already this week, that really sneaks up on you
[15:07] <ev> tell me about it
[15:08] <ev> when I left it was merely feature freeze! :)
[15:08] <Riddell> ev: what does it do?
[15:08] <ev> Riddell: connects you to an available wireless network
[15:08] <Riddell> ev: do I want to port it to KDE?
[15:09] <ev> Riddell: I think it's an "if you have time" thing
[15:09] <ev> not critical
[15:09] <ev> http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfkkjjcj_101gnkrpg5v - for roughly what it should look like
[15:10] <ev> we moved the icons to the left of the text for a reason that currently escapes me
[15:13] <Riddell> ev: what happened to the machine name and the advanced dialogue box?
[15:13] <ev> gone the way of the dodo
[15:13] <ev> the bootloader options I'll need to fold into the advanced partitioning page before Thursday
[15:14] <ev> but we agreed to get rid of the UI option to set the hostname at UDS (you can still set it through preseeding).
[15:14] <Riddell> how is it set?
[15:16] <ev> `SET netcfg/get_hostname ubuntu-desktop | sudo debconf-communicate` would do it
[15:17] <ev> or by putting netcfg/get_hostname=ubuntu-desktop on the kernel command line
[15:18] <Riddell> ev: I mean what's it set to if you don't preseed it
[15:19] <ev> ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-laptop, depending on the output of laptop-detect
[15:20] <ev> err
[15:20] <ev> the username plus "-desktop" or "-laptop"
[15:20]  * ogra wonders how many more hours he will have to watch ubiquity compiling keymaps 
[15:21] <ev> heh
[16:15] <ryanakca> How would I go by debugging why adding automatic-ubiquity to the kernel line doesn't cause ubiquity to run? Where would I start looking?
[17:20] <ogra> YIPPIEE !
[17:20] <ogra> cjwatson, arch any for ubiquity works
[17:21]  * ogra didnt expect the test to be *that* time consuming though, i wasnt aware it compiles each and every udeb during build
[17:21] <cjwatson> cool, thanks
