ograhmm, yesterdays image had a busy cursor all the time while oem-config was running, was that dropped again ?12:17
evwoo, finally got fakechroot working with debootstrap.14:18

CIA-28ubiquity: Fix the installer window growing and shrinking when typing in the15:52
CIA-28ubiquity: boxes on the user setup page.15:52
evAnyone have an objection to me also tailing syslog in the installer details section?  Quite a bit of installer-related detail ends up there.15:59
superm1sounds sensible to me16:04
superm1how are you going to tail both though in the single vte?16:04
evsuperm1:  tail -f /var/log/installer/debug -f /var/log/syslog -q16:05
superm1oh neat, i didn't know tail could do multiple files16:05
superm1you might consider changing that though for when running oem-config to be /var/log/oem-config.log and /var/log/syslog16:06
evgood call!16:06
evand yeah, I only recently stumbled upon it myself16:07
CIA-28ubiquity: evand * r4385 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs):17:03
CIA-28ubiquity: Do not show the prepare page by means of hiding the language page17:03
CIA-28ubiquity: before the former is ready.17:03
evinteresting.  You can't read syslog if you run python under sudo and then drop privileges.17:58

CIA-28ubiquity: Fix a crash in the KDE partitioning page when no partitions are17:59

cjwatsoniz 0640 root:adm iirc17:59
evyes, but ubuntu is in adm17:59
cjwatsonmaybe we're not calling setgroups17:59
cjwatsondoesn't look like we are18:00
evahhh, well spotted18:00
cjwatsonreally quite startlingly tedious to get the right list, unless I'm missing something18:02
cjwatsonmind you the python for it is a hell of a lot shorter than the C ;-)18:06
evhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/497857/ seems to work18:17
evI'll extend that to cover all cases18:18
evand indeed :)18:18
cjwatsonoh, heh, I was doing it too but was interrupted by a phone call18:19
evoh, sorry18:20
cjwatsonno problem18:20
cjwatsonI came up with http://paste.ubuntu.com/497859/ but haven't tested it18:20
cjwatsonthe guts seem equivalent18:20
evyes, but you're right to do it in a list comprehension18:20
cjwatsonIIRC it's important to do setgroups before setegid on the way down and setgroups after setegid on the way up18:20
cjwatsonI forget the details, it's just embedded in the cookbook bit of my brain18:21
evlol18:21
evI presume you have an entire copy of Stevens in there18:21
cjwatsonno, that's on my bookshelf ;)18:23
evcjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/497877/ - how does that looks?  You were missing casts to int and you'd hit a permissions issue if a drop was called inside a drop.18:49
evlook*18:50
cjwatsonlooks ok.  we could perhaps even stick a try around setgroups18:56
CIA-28ubiquity: evand * r4387 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/misc.py):19:01
CIA-28ubiquity: Call setgroups() when raising and dropping privileges. Thanks Colin19:01
CIA-28ubiquity: Watson!19:01
CIA-28ubiquity: evand * r4388 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py):19:02
CIA-28ubiquity: Also tail syslog in the installer details pane, since that's where19:02
CIA-28ubiquity: the action is.19:02
evugh, I wish pylint and pychecker weren't so incredibly silly19:08
evI've nearly got pyflakes to a point where it's not outputting errors, but only by virtue of it not actually doing much19:08
dlynesworkI'm just wondering if there's a specific version of ubuntu that instead of doing a warm boot (reboot into bios bootup sequence), it shuts down all services and processes, reloads the kernel, and starts everything all back up again, without ever going to the bios?21:10
dlynesworkOur IT guy gave me a ubuntu burn that doesn't do a bios reboot when you issue a reboot command...that's why I'm asking21:10
evdlyneswork: please ask in #ubuntu, this channel is for installer development22:22
dlynesworkOh, ok...thought it was questions about the installer22:23
dlynesworkThanks22:23
evsure thing22:23
