| cjwatson | zyga: thanks, actually I didn't know that - qemu is full of stuff I haven't learned yet. Updated my post, thanks :-) | 09:43 |
| zyga | cjwatson, :-) | 09:43 |
| zyga | cjwatson, I tried this on my laptop just now, unfortunately qemu and win7 don't like each other so it crashes quickly | 09:43 |
| zyga | cjwatson, but linux did boot okay | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | hychen_: sounds like you might be looking for http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#parttool? | 09:44 |
| zyga | cjwatson, you just have to be careful not to do C+s c (or was it C+s s) because that actually flushes the snapshot to backing device | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | C-a s according to the man page | 09:44 |
| hychen_ | cjwatson, I want to know how does grub2 stage 1 find which partition it will boot? can it be set by I changed active flag of partition manually? | 09:46 |
| cjwatson | firstly, terminology - GRUB 2 no longer calls it stage 1, see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Images | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | secondly, GRUB (Legacy or 2) pays no attention whatsoever to the active flag | 09:47 |
| cjwatson | thirdly, grub-install adjusts the image it installs to know which partition it's supposed to boot | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | if the disk GRUB is being installed to is the same as where /boot/grub lives, then it just hardwires a partition number | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | otherwise, it hardwires a UUID | 09:48 |
| cjwatson | (I'm simplifying slightly, if you're using LVM or something for /boot/grub then it hardwires the GRUB device name for that) | 09:49 |
| abhinav- | pitti, subprocess.check_output() would be ok to execute xprop and get its result back ? | 09:50 |

| pitti | abhinav-: sure | 09:51 |
| pitti | abhinav-: btw, thanks for pointing this out, I didn't know about check_output yet | 09:52 |
| pitti | that's new in 2.7 | 09:52 |
| abhinav- | pitti, :-) | 09:52 |
| pitti | abhinav-: let me know if you need help with the test suite | 09:52 |
| abhinav- | pitti, ok sure. I will implement this and get back to you about the test suite :-) | 09:53 |
| pitti | abhinav-: test/run does the full thing, but if you are only hacking on apport/ui.py, then running "PYTHONPATH=. python apport/ui.py -v" is faster | 09:53 |
| abhinav- | ok. I don't need to add anything to test suite ? | 09:54 |
| pitti | abhinav-: you'll probably need to update test_parse_argv_apport_bug() for the new option | 09:55 |
| pitti | abhinav-: btw, for even faster test suite runs you can also do | 09:55 |
| pitti | PYTHONPATH=. python apport/ui.py _T.test_parse_argv_apport_bug _T.test_parse_argv_single_arg | 09:55 |
| pitti | that'll just run these two, which take no time | 09:56 |
| pitti | abhinav-: actually testing the functionality of the new --window argument is impractical in teh automatic tests, of course | 09:56 |
| abhinav- | pitti, yes right :D | 09:56 |
| pitti | abhinav-: it can only check that the argument is correctly recognized in the two different modes (apport-cli/gtk with full option suite, and the reduced ones in ubuntu-bug) | 09:57 |
| abhinav- | yes | 09:57 |
| pitti | thanks! | 09:57 |
| abhinav- | btw pretty cool stuff in apport. Its a great source of learning :) | 09:57 |
| Nafallo | cjwatson: it did on the next boot after I had installed more updates, interestingly. so I ended up with two rootflags= in my grub prompt, and apparently that made it dump me in initramfs as well. after that I had to change my fstab to use subvolid for home, cause for some reason subvol=@home stopped working :-) | 10:18 |

| barry | mvo: thanks! | 14:47 |
| apw | slangasek, its not a miss feature, per see. its all about those damn external modules which have to be built with a compiler which optimises in the same way to ensure that the calling convention matches | 14:48 |
| apw | and given even and ubuntu1 -> ubuntu2 change can bring an entire new linaro compiler into the mix, we have little choice but to use the full version string | 14:49 |
| apw | if we could get rid of those modules we could remove the interaction all together | 14:50 |

| kees | cjwatson: sure, one sec | 17:29 |
| slangasek | cr3: I don't have much in the way of time to spend on plymouth right now; that bug needs fixing to be sure, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to help much | 17:29 |
| kees | cjwatson: yup, looks like it was a branch that never pushed. I've pushed it to lp:~kees/ubiquity/ver-2.5.25 now | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | kees: thanks, merged back now | 17:32 |
| kees | cjwatson: cool; sorry about that glitch. | 17:32 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: fyi, will upload your libvirt change today. the debdiff was malformed, but I saw what you wanted to do. added another patch and running through qrt now | 17:37 |
| cjwatson | hallyn,charlie-tca: ubiquity 2.5.26 uploaded now | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | And that will fix the ubi-partman bug? | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | Thank You very much! | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | Evan committed a fix for that which is included | 17:55 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: i had a libvirt change? | 18:34 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: yes, for the test suite | 18:35 |
| jdstrand | Replace 9024-skip-broken-commandtest.patch with 9024-fix-broken-commandtest.patch from upstream | 18:35 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: ^ | 18:35 |
| jdstrand | hallyn: you gave it to me a while ago, but I am only getting to it now | 18:36 |
| hallyn | jdstrand: cool, thanks | 18:39 |
| achiang | cjwatson: nice war story re: debugging wubi! | 18:42 |
| cjwatson | achiang: it was an interesting ride | 18:43 |
| achiang | cjwatson: the closest i've come to that was debugging kexec bugs; luckily where i was, we had a custom in-house full-platform simulator that allowed single-stepping a CPU and poking at memory | 18:44 |
| achiang | cjwatson: i didn't have to deal with real mode though.... that sounds painful | 18:45 |
| cjwatson | once you figure out what's going on, it's a matter of keeping a clear head, but it does take a while | 18:45 |
| psusi | war story? | 18:48 |

| cr3 | slangasek: just wondering if I can drop to a shell from the cryptsetup script, adding /bin/sh before plymouth ask-for-password doesn't seem to work because, when I escape to the console, I see busybox but then it kicks me back to the graphical interface | 18:50 |
| cr3 | slangasek: also, if you might happen to know on top of your head how to get ply_trace to show stuff on the console, maybe I could fallback to printf debugging | 18:51 |
| cr3 | slangasek: I'll try not to take much of your time, mostly trying to refer to your experience without having you actually do anything :) | 18:51 |
| cjwatson | cr3: it's easier to use plymouth:debug=file:/dev/.initramfs/plymouth.debug (requires natty) | 18:55 |
| cjwatson | the console tends to scroll off too quickly | 18:55 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: I've noticed that plymouth: option somewhere in the source, but I didn't see where to specify that | 18:59 |
| * cr3 is delving into plymouth for the first time, this is all new | 19:00 | |
| slangasek | cr3: specified on the kernel commandline | 19:06 |

| mrc3_ | hello! while trying to update gst-plugins-base and -good, i'm getting a file collision that makes no sense to me: | 21:38 |
| mrc3_ | dpkg: error processing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.28-0ubuntu1+ti0.24.12_armel.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/.mo', which is also in package libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.32-1ubuntu3+ti0.24.12 | 21:38 |
| mrc3_ | what did i miss that is making the mo file (from the po/ directory) install without a package name? | 21:41 |
| bdrung | after todays natty update, gdm doesn't come up again. anyone else experience this issue? | 22:05 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| hallyn | bdrung: hm, that's with new upstart I presume. (but no, I don't see that - though my system is messed up anyway, but at least gdm comes up) | 22:31 |
| bdrung | hallyn: yes, that was probably upstart. | 22:31 |
| hallyn | Quite sure I've got that update, but I"ll go try another update to make sure | 22:32 |
| bdrung | downgrading gdm didn't help | 22:36 |
| bdrung | s/gdm/upstart | 22:41 |
| broder | bdrung: it was a change in gdm's upstart config | 22:41 |
| bdrung | broder: i downgraded gdm and now gdm comes up correctly. | 22:43 |
| bdrung | broder: should i file a bug report or is there already one open? | 22:44 |
| broder | bdrung: don't know, but the relevant change is connected to bug #436936 | 22:45 |

| cjwatson | hallyn: not really no, sorry | 23:21 |
| Daviey | lamont, Are you around? If so, do you want to upload your bind9 package to lucid-proposed? Or would you prefer i did it? | 23:33 |
