cjwatsonoh bah, forgot, we need a ubiquity upload14:37
cjwatsonI'll look into that now ...14:38
evhad one planned for today, but if you've got it, thanks14:41
cjwatsonoh, right, debian/rules update was already running :)14:42
cjwatsonanything else you want in it?14:42
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r4498 ubiquity/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog):14:42
CIA-4ubiquity: Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer14:42
CIA-4ubiquity: 1.115ubuntu1, choose-mirror 2.37ubuntu1, partman-btrfs 5ubuntu2,14:42
CIA-4ubiquity: partman-ext3 62ubuntu1, yaboot-installer 1.1.19ubuntu1.14:42
evnope14:43
evany thoughts on my question in #ubuntu-devel, by the way? (why didn't we use the desktop wallpaper for plymouth to limit the visual transition)14:44
evslowly working through the workitem for showing plymouth between ubiquity and gdm, and it looks a bit odd, given the current arrangement14:45
cjwatsonI'm guessing it made it *really really* obvious when the resolutions didn't match up14:45
cjwatsoneven more painfully so than now14:45
cjwatsonbut I don't actually know14:45
evperhaps this just fell through the cracks?14:45
cjwatsonnot sure, AIUI the plymouth image we were given was deliberate14:46
cjwatsonScott or tseliot might remember14:46
evindeed, I think my plan of attack will be to ask Scott when he wakes up, and potentially follow up with design@14:46
cjwatsonbear in mind though14:47
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r4499 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.5.1314:47
cjwatsonthat if you do that, it's going to look weird on the grub/plymouth interface14:47
evcan you elaborate on that? Are you referring to the aubergine hue given to the grub menu?14:47
cjwatson(a) grub potentially has a more limited colour depth (b) the desktop wallpaper probably won't look good in the event that the user shows the menu14:48
evright14:48
cjwatson(because it'll be visually noisier)14:48
cjwatsonI think we should probably have a different image choice for the plymouth-between-ubiquity-and-gdm case14:48
evhmm14:48
cjwatsonpersonally I'd rather that we think of the boot-time backgrounds as being coordinated rather than strictly identical14:49
cjwatsonbecause they do sometimes have different things going on on top of them14:49
evperhaps we could just leave the root window largely intact between ubiquity and gdm?14:49
evgood point14:49
cjwatsonI thought there was a patch floating around somewhere to do kind of the opposite of what we do on dm startup14:50
cjwatsongdm preserves the framebuffer contents on startup14:50
cjwatsonyou want the other half of that, leave them intact on shutdown too14:50
evso the reverse of -nr14:50
cjwatson(gdm> or X, I can't remember where the division of labour lies)14:51
cjwatsonyou'd want -nr plus something else for ubiquity-dm, and just -nr for gdm14:51
evright14:52
