evokay, so it's clearly failing inside update.d/99*ubiquity, which is a bit odd given how simple the code is, so I'm wondering if debconf is getting wedged earlier and this is just surfacing the error00:44

cjwatsonev: have you seen bug 738366?15:14
ubot2Launchpad bug 738366 in ubiquity ""Erase Natty" wording DANGEROUSLY misleading" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73836615:14
cjwatsonlooks like a bug rather than merely misleading wording ...15:15
CIA-31ubiquity: cjwatson * r4589 trunk/debian/ubiquity.templates: consistently end sentences with full stops15:16
evif Ubuntu is the only operating system it finds on a disk, then it wipes the disk for the "Erase Natty and install 11.04"15:16
cjwatsonthe report says that Windows was installed15:19
evindeed, I suspect os-prober isn't picking up windows (perhaps it's mounted), or the code is broken somewhere15:20
CIA-31ubiquity: cjwatson * r4590 trunk/debian/changelog: changes in automatic partitioning text fix LP: #73695915:20
evthe bigger problem is that I need to get the introductory string in that the specification mentions15:20
cjwatsonbeing mounted shouldn't matter any more ...15:20
evoh, right15:20
evintro string> it wouldn't mention Windows, which would hopefully alert users to something being up15:21
cjwatsonmm, I agree that is a problem although I'm not convinced it's a bigger problem :-)15:23
evheh, perhaps that was poor phrasing on my part15:24
evI've followed up on the bug15:24
cjwatsonbah, the oem-config-debconf changes broke operation from the server CD16:40
cjwatsonand I think probably generally just broke oem-config-debconf16:40
CIA-31ubiquity: cjwatson * r4591 trunk/debian/ (changelog oem-config-debconf.oem-config-debconf.upstart):16:48
CIA-31ubiquity: Start oem-config-debconf on stopping rc RUNLEVEL=[2345], rather than on16:48
CIA-31ubiquity: (filesystem and stopped udevtrigger); this guarantees that we will never16:48
CIA-31ubiquity: end up without a controlling terminal because tty1 has already started.16:48
cjwatsonev: IIRC you were scratching your head over bug 739891 or a similar bug; if it helps, it looks to me as though something, probably a maintainer script, has either written to stdout or read from stdin in an uncontrolled manner, causing the debconf protocol to get out of sync16:50

bdmurrayev: I'd like to have a bug day for ubiquity this week and specifically focus on recreating bugs in the New state and help to move them to Confirmed.  Does that seem alright with you?20:54
cjwatsonFWIW, the easiest bugs for at least me to fix are those that come with a recipe for recreating them in kvm - I don't know about ev20:56
cjwatsonnot that others are invalid, but ...20:56
bdmurrayAt one point in time I tried to create a multi-partition disk image for kvm to recreate a bug but didn't get very far.  Do you have any tips for that?20:58
cjwatsonwhat went wrong?20:58
cjwatsonthat sort of thing generally just works for me20:58
cjwatsonbut I have some set habits that perhaps are helping20:59
