[00:47] hi all, i'm having issues with the software center. i can't install any files from it. can someone help please? [00:52] mmmmmmm [00:56] we don't do software-center here, only initial OS installation [00:56] I don't know if they have a dedicated channel [00:59] thanks anyways :( === JanC_ is now known as JanC [09:29] ubiquity: evand * r4380 trunk/ (bin/ubiquity-dm debian/changelog): [09:29] ubiquity: Disable locking the screen and switching users in the installer [09:29] ubiquity: session (LP: #644016). [09:49] superm1: excellent changelog message [09:49] * Fix recovery from recovery of a recovery. (LP: #643889) [09:50] haha [10:03] Hey Guys, since I updated my Ubuntu 10.04 Remix on my netbook, my 3G USB Dongle doesn't work anymore... It says: waiting for usb device to settle in dmesg. Any ideas? [10:05] ubiquity: evand * r4381 trunk/ (139 files in 3 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad. [10:06] njm: please ask in #ubuntu . This channel is for installer development. [10:06] Will do, thanx [10:06] sure thing [10:06] good luck [10:09] ubiquity: evand * r4382 trunk/ (configure configure.ac debian/changelog): Release as 2.4.0 [10:22] ubiquity: evand * r4383 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.4.0 [12:17] hmm, yesterdays image had a busy cursor all the time while oem-config was running, was that dropped again ? [14:18] woo, finally got fakechroot working with debootstrap. [14:18] \o/ [14:21] (apparently the -s flag is magic) [14:21] right, lunch [15:40] ev, kubuntu ubiquity crasher, for your debugging pleasure [15:40] bug 644407 [15:40] Launchpad bug 644407 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Partman crashes in Kubuntu (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/644407 [15:41] thanks [15:52] ubiquity: evand * r4384 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): [15:52] ubiquity: Fix the installer window growing and shrinking when typing in the [15:52] ubiquity: boxes on the user setup page. [15:59] Anyone have an objection to me also tailing syslog in the installer details section? Quite a bit of installer-related detail ends up there. [16:04] sounds sensible to me [16:04] how are you going to tail both though in the single vte? [16:05] superm1: tail -f /var/log/installer/debug -f /var/log/syslog -q [16:05] oh neat, i didn't know tail could do multiple files [16:06] you might consider changing that though for when running oem-config to be /var/log/oem-config.log and /var/log/syslog [16:06] good call! [16:07] and yeah, I only recently stumbled upon it myself [17:03] ubiquity: evand * r4385 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): [17:03] ubiquity: Do not show the prepare page by means of hiding the language page [17:03] ubiquity: before the former is ready. [17:58] interesting. You can't read syslog if you run python under sudo and then drop privileges. [17:59] ubiquity: evand * r4386 trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): [17:59] ubiquity: Fix a crash in the KDE partitioning page when no partitions are [17:59] ubiquity: available for resizing (LP: #644407). [17:59] iz 0640 root:adm iirc [17:59] yes, but ubuntu is in adm [17:59] maybe we're not calling setgroups [18:00] doesn't look like we are [18:00] ahhh, well spotted [18:02] really quite startlingly tedious to get the right list, unless I'm missing something [18:06] mind you the python for it is a hell of a lot shorter than the C ;-) [18:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/497857/ seems to work [18:18] I'll extend that to cover all cases [18:18] and indeed :) [18:19] oh, heh, I was doing it too but was interrupted by a phone call [18:20] oh, sorry [18:20] no problem [18:20] I came up with http://paste.ubuntu.com/497859/ but haven't tested it [18:20] the guts seem equivalent [18:20] yes, but you're right to do it in a list comprehension [18:20] IIRC it's important to do setgroups before setegid on the way down and setgroups after setegid on the way up [18:21] I forget the details, it's just embedded in the cookbook bit of my brain [18:21] lol [18:21] I presume you have an entire copy of Stevens in there [18:23] no, that's on my bookshelf ;) [18:49] cjwatson: 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. [18:50] look* [18:56] looks ok. we could perhaps even stick a try around setgroups [19:01] ubiquity: evand * r4387 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/misc.py): [19:01] ubiquity: Call setgroups() when raising and dropping privileges. Thanks Colin [19:01] ubiquity: Watson! [19:02] ubiquity: evand * r4388 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py): [19:02] ubiquity: Also tail syslog in the installer details pane, since that's where [19:02] ubiquity: the action is. [19:08] ugh, I wish pylint and pychecker weren't so incredibly silly [19:08] I've nearly got pyflakes to a point where it's not outputting errors, but only by virtue of it not actually doing much [21:10] I'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] Our 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 asking [22:22] dlyneswork: please ask in #ubuntu, this channel is for installer development [22:23] Oh, ok...thought it was questions about the installer [22:23] Thanks [22:23] sure thing
