evhi ara11:56
araev, I was able to run Mago tests unattended in Hudson. I was thinking that, if you want, you can try to integrate them with your tests, to be run just after installation.11:58
evawesome!11:58
araev, there is documentation at http://mago.ubuntu.com/Documentation/RunningOnHudson11:58
evara: can you mail me a link to the branch that has all the supporting code for this11:58
evah even better11:58
evthanks!11:59
ara:)11:59
araev, whenever you have time, you can give it a try11:59
araev, that example only runs a couple of simple tests, but it is enough as proof of concept11:59
evara: I definitely will, though admittedly that will be some time after Final Freeze as I have quite a few things left to fix11:59
araev, indeed :)12:00
aratalking of which, I would like to run a pairwise testing cycle for ubiquity this week. Have you uploaded lately?12:01
arathe reason is because I would like to test ubiquity fully before RC testing, to avoid our classic last minute "OMG this does not work"12:01
evso that would be lovely12:01
evI have an upload that I'm planning to do today, pending a same-day freeze exception that I haven't filed yet12:02
evlast minute> indeed, I'd like to get as many eyes on this as possible.12:02
arasure, I will prepare everything and if tomorrow's build include the latest upload, I will kick it off then12:03
evawesome, thanks12:05
araev, thanks to you!12:06

evfix incoming for the jockey debconf issue15:20
superm1ev, curious, with how delicate the spacing has had a tendency to be with some strings, have you been testing using the ubuntu font?15:21
evsuperm1: given that I don't know whether or not the ubuntu font is shipping with 10.10, I haven't been testing with it for ages.  I'm just trying to get things roughly correct, not perfect.15:21
superm1oh i didn't realize there was risk at whether it made it15:22
superm1it is probably a bit late at this point though15:22
evindeed15:22
evthough that said, I'm the one trying to upload changes to UI files15:22
superm1haha15:22
evbut I'm convinced this is important :)15:23
superm1am i nuts, or did one of michael forest's original sketches for what he wanted the installer to look like have the title in the panel at the top left like what unity does?15:24
evwell, the design specification used to have a menu in the panel15:24
evfor bootloader options, etc15:25
superm1ah, that's what it was15:25
evof course it also had windicators at one point15:25
NCommandercjwatson: ping, hate to be a pain, but do you mind re-looking at generic subarch on d-boot? I sent a patch for libd-i on Wednesday or Thursday16:13
michLinuxGuyI am installing the beta and it seems to be frozen at "Retrieving file 2 of 6".  Is there a debug log somewhere?  If I run it from a terminal window, will I see some useful messages to stdout/stderr?16:18
evmichLinuxGuy: please read the release notes16:21
evthe beta release does not work with USB disks.   Use a newer image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live16:21
cjwatsonNCommander: I'm asking the d-i release manager what he thinks ...16:22
michLinuxGuyev: I was using a USB stick.  Thanks16:23
michLinuxGuyev: it was easier to ask you than read the notes  ;)16:24
NCommandercjwatson: ah, thanks17:00
cjwatsonNCommander: don't omap and omap4 need to be the other way round in supported_generic_subarches, since omap is a prefix of omap4?17:04
cjwatsonNCommander: ... I'm assuming so17:44
NCommandercjwatson: it shouldn't match since strncmp only matches the length of the string, so if it gets omap, and the kernel is omap4, it should try and compare "omap" to "map4" and fail17:54
cjwatsonoh17:56
cjwatsonyes, you're right17:56
shtylmanare windicators still going to be a reality this release?18:30
shtylmansuperm1: I have the laptop in question with me today... tried adding the 'nousb' option to the boot args... didn't seem to help18:37
shtylmancasper.log isn't all to helpful either18:37
CIA-41ubiquity: evand * r4331 trunk/debian/changelog: Add LP reference18:58
cjwatsonsuperm1: FWIW, I now have the docking station and am making progress, though it's a bit slow19:32
cjwatsonsuperm1: having to debug through the UEFI implementation rather more than I'd like :-(19:33
ScottKev: Are the legal related changes also reflected in the ubiquity-kde wording (if applicable)?19:33
cjwatson(not that this means the bug's there, it's just hard to figure out where it is any other way)19:33
cjwatsonit's getting into the implementation of SetVirtualAddressMap and *then* jumping off into hyperspace19:34
superm1cjwatson, manoj was mentioning to me that ther might be some wrong assumptions about where to load the kernel that redhat might have already addressed in their grub 1.x work19:40
superm1cjwatson, anything in particular you'd like me to find out documentation wise about the implementation?19:41
cjwatsonsuperm1: I *think* at the moment that it's more likely to be an error somewhere in handling the memory map, but, well, the memory descriptor is a different size from what my reading of the spec says it ought to be, and the 32-bit boot protocol is pretty sketchily-documented, so ...19:46
cjwatsonsuperm1: not right now, thanks, but I may have some later19:46
superm1Ok.19:46
cjwatsonI think if we were loading the kernel in the wrong place then it wouldn't get as far as it does19:46
cjwatsonit's also definitely not an NX bug because when I unprotect that chunk of memory it hits an invalid opcode instead19:47

cody-somervillecjwatson, where do the files that get moved from boot$N/isolinux/grub/ to $CDDIR/boot/grub/ come from?21:48
jhansonxiI'm trying to add some Places to Nautilus for all users out of a kickstart script.  Nautilus seems to be using the XDG settings out of /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults but this only supports "well known" relative paths.  I tried /etc/skel/.gtk-bookmarks but it uses absolute paths (Nautilus won't accept relative).  If it exists then it overrides the XDG and the defaults aren't added.  Is there a way to do this with preseedin22:00
jhansonxig?22:00
jhansonxiI made a workaround with a flag file in skel that is looked for by an XDG autostart script.  The script adds the paths to gtk-bookmarks if it exists (thus letting XDG populate it first).22:02
jhansonxiIt then deletes the flag file, effectively deactivating itself.22:02
jhansonxiThe paths I'm adding are /home/local, /home/public, and one to the openclipart directory in /usr/share.22:03
cjwatsoncody-somerville: grub-rescue-efi-amd64 via debian-installer22:47
cjwatson(it's a bit messy; I plan to do it a bit more sensibly in natty but it needs coordination with Debian)22:47
