CIA-71ubiquity: evand * r4221 trunk/debian/ (changelog ubiquity.templates): Add back ready_text_label for the KDE frontend.09:15
Riddellev: did you get anywhere with it?10:02
evRiddell: sorry about that, it took me a while to bootstrap yesterday.  I've been working on it this morning.  I'll keep you posted.10:03
Riddellthanks, good luck, let me know if I can help10:04
evthanks and sure thing10:04
jzarrwhere do casper-bottom log messages get printed to?14:29
* ogra thinks dropping the hostname input field from ubiquity was a very bad idea, all my machines are called ogra-laptop now, thats quite annoying if you test multiple machines 14:35
evit's a fairly advanced option14:36
ogragiving your computer a name ?14:36
ograthats something even my mother manages14:36
persiaIs it?  Most less-technical folks I know are more concerned about naming than the more-technical folks.14:36
evyou can still set it by putting netcfg/get_hostname=ogra-laptop2 on the kernel command line.14:36
Riddellnow that's advanced :)14:37
persiaIndeed.14:37
ograi cant edit the cmdline easily on armel images14:37
ograthat requires quite some tinkering14:37
ograin other notes i really like the new UI ... though oem-config looks a bit lost on 1920x1200 :)14:38
persiaThat's acceptable, given that it now shrinks well.14:39
ograindeed14:39
tjaaltonlooks like grub-installer fails to install on a multipath device on lucid14:52
tjaaltonis it possible to try a newer version of the package and rerun the menu entry?14:52
evjzarr: presumably /casper.log (/var/log/casper.log once at the desktop)14:55
jzarri see that, should i be expecting to see something with the $DESCRIPTION in it?14:58
jzarrim trying to add a new script, not sure if its running14:58
ryanakcaCould someone venture a guess as to why " automatic-ubiquity" on the kernel line fails to launch ubiquity after a Wubi run?14:59
evryanakca: do you have anything in /var/log/installer ?15:02
evjzarr: without digging, I'm not sure.  Perhaps just touch a file in /root if that's not working as expected?  Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, trying to sort this ubiquity KDE stuff.15:03
jzarrno problem, when you have a sec, im also curious how to make /cdrom writable15:05
evmount -o remount,rw /cdrom15:06
jzarrjust add that to fstab?15:06
evActually, it shouldn't be mounting it read-only in the first place if it's a writeable filesystem...15:12
* ev digs15:12
jzarryah, thats what i thought too, im booting from a usb stick (obviously)15:18
Riddellev: I've got a change which makes the KDE language page use a similar layout to the GTK one, am I ok to commit?15:22
evRiddell: sure thing, I'll just merge with that.  I think I've nearly got it working, by the way.15:29
ryanakcaev: Nope.15:32
CIA-71ubiquity: jriddell * r4222 trunk/ (8 files in 4 dirs):15:32
CIA-71ubiquity: * Update Language page to closer follow GTK layout15:32
CIA-71ubiquity: * pixmaps/cd_in_tray.png moves to ubiquity.install-any and ubiquity replaces old15:32
CIA-71ubiquity:  ubiquity-frontend-gtk15:32
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
ryanakcaev: I can get you the Wubi log or the kernel command line if it's of any use though...16:45
evryanakca: is this a regular wubi install, or something custom?16:46
ryanakcaev: custom, I added a slightly modified (IE, added some packages) Ubuntu LiveCD to isolist.ini...16:48
evis this with lucid or maverick?16:49
ryanakcaLucid16:49
ryanakcaI don't mind digging myself, I'm just not sure where to start looking. What handles the automatic-ubiquity option on the kernel line?16:50
ryanakca(and all of the other preseed options)16:50
evryanakca: the ubiquity upstart job (turns it to --automatic)16:50
evit's debian/ubiquity.ubiquity.upstart in ubiquity trunk16:51
jzarrhey ev, whats the best place to stick a post log-in startup bash script. I tried adding one to casper-bottom but that didnt seem to work16:53
ryanakcaev: Aha! Found it. Work had me switch out gdm for lxdm, but /etc/init/ubiquity.conf has "start on (starting gdm or starting kdm or starting xdm or starting uxlaunch)"16:54
ryanakcaev: Thanks. As a feature request, mind adding 'starting lxdm' to that list?16:58
evryanakca: I think there's a proposed branch for it, but if not definitely.  I'll sort that out when I get back from this appointment I'm about to run off too.  Shouldn't be more than two hours or so.17:00
ryanakcaev: Thanks17:00
evjzarr: as in shell log in?  Just tack it to the end of /etc/skel/.profile or /etc/skel/.bashrc, no?  Gotta run17:02
jzarrev, i tried /etc/profile, it launched but i didnt have mouse/keyboard support, /etc/bashrc didnt do anything17:05
CIA-71debian-installer: cjwatson * r1349 ubuntu/ (7 files in 2 dirs): Move to 2.6.35-19 kernels.17:19
CIA-71debian-installer: cjwatson * r1350 ubuntu/ (build/config/armel/dove.cfg debian/changelog): Move dove to 2.6.32-409 kernels.17:24
dpmhi ev, would it be possible to export the ubiquity translations from LP? Translators are quite keen to test them, and this weekend being the Ubuntu Global Jam, that'd be really useful. Thanks!17:56
evRiddell: when you get a chance, in app.ui, can you add a container that switches between content_widget and a qwebview, like how the gtk code uses a GtkNotebook without styling to switch between the container for page_section and title_section, and webkit_scrolled_window?20:22
evRiddell: I tried, but alas I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around qtcreator sufficiently to create something that doesn't massively break the layout.20:22
evof course, if there's a preferred way to do this, by all means go with that.  We just need some way of switching to the slideshow in the body of the installer window.20:23
evdpm: sure, with the next upload.20:23
Riddellev: you mean rather than the separate dialogue we have now?20:29
dpmthanks ev!20:30
Riddellev: this changes widgetStack (back) to a QStackedWidget (which presumably it was before the plugin architecture) http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/app.ui20:41
Riddelluse widgetStack.setCurrentIndex(1) to change the page20:42
Riddellthen make a QWebView and widgetStack.widget(1).layout().addWidget(myWebView) to get the widget20:45
Riddellhowever I think I'd prefer to keep the current progressDialogue if that's easy to do, but don't worry if it's not20:46
jzarrhey guys, in the cmdline boot args is it live_media_path or live-media-path20:55
cjwatsonthe latter20:59
cjwatson(slightly surprisingly)21:00
jzarrthx21:01
jzarris live-media-path=/casper64 valid? or does it have to be something like =/ubunut64/casper im trying to make a liveUSB with both 32 and 64 bit images, keeps saying no live file system found, (32bit works fine)21:06
