| ev | oh wow, thanks for fixing that! That's quite the long-standing bug. | 09:23 |
|---|---|---|
| ev | I can't remember what blocked us previously. I think I tried to fix it in python-debconf and got stuck, but this was years ago. | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | I suspect there were older instances of the bug - feel free to dup | 09:25 |
| ev | will do | 09:33 |
| ev | so what's going on with wubi? | 09:33 |
| ev | skaet contacted me last night, but when I replied she said you had a handle on it, then rick said you basically haven't slept yet in trying to fix it | 09:33 |
| cjwatson | I'm still debugging through grub | 09:35 |
| cjwatson | it's crashing just after 'set root=(loop0)', which makes me very suspicious since that's been a problem location in the past | 09:35 |
| cjwatson | single-stepping at the moment to try to figure out where it dies - in the past attempts to insert debug code have made the problem go away, so I think I have to use non-invasive techniques | 09:36 |
| cjwatson | I wish management would quit comparing notes on how much I sleep. :-) | 09:37 |
| ev | heh | 09:37 |
| ev | it got a wag of the finger by claire in the kitchen | 09:37 |
| ev | directed at rick | 09:37 |
| ev | apparently someone should've held you down and made you sleep ;) | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | I was awake *anyway* | 09:41 |
| ev | :) if it comes back up, I'll be sure to mention that | 09:43 |
| cjwatson | not that I don't appreciate the concern | 09:52 |
| ev | of course | 09:54 |
| davmor2 | ev: I thought the 4 px high ubiquty task bar was something that got fixed? | 12:44 |
| ev | not yet; in a meeting though | 12:51 |
| davmor2 | ah nps | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | single-stepping shows, I think, grub_file_getline returning GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS on the next read after 'set root=(loop0); if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=auto; load_video; insmod gfxterm; fi' | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | which is progress of a sort | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | hm, I wonder if I can find the error message in memory | 13:35 |
| cjwatson | I'm making copious use of gdb's 'find' command to find functions in memory | 13:37 |
| cjwatson | and 'disas /r' and 'disas /rm' in another window | 13:38 |
| cjwatson | "read out of range", by the looks of things | 13:41 |
| cjwatson | out for a bit | 13:41 |
| cjwatson | (which message is only emitted by the ntfs implementation, usefully) | 13:41 |
| ev | incidentally, have you played around with the python support in gdb? | 14:04 |
| ev | there's a great presentation from pycon by an engineer at redhat who was using it to dig at memory leaks in yum bubbling up to their installer, amongst other things | 14:05 |
| ev | http://pycon.blip.tv/file/4877544/ | 14:07 |
| cjwatson | not as yet no ... | 14:28 |
| * cjwatson saves that for later :) | 14:28 | |
| CarlFK | ev: do you have time to poke at my d-i apt-setup/local0/repository bug 728710 ? | 14:35 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 728710 in debian-installer "d-i apt-setup/local0/repository not working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/728710 | 14:35 |

| kirkland | cjwatson: i saw that cdebconf was accepted; thanks; could you ping me as soon as d-i gets rebuilt, so that I can check the new iso's? | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | I'm not planning to do it right away, maybe tomorrow | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | sure, I'll let you know | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | nobody manually accepted cdebconf - the entire queue was flushed (FWIW) | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | fgrep -al "$(printf '\x39\xcf\x73\xd3\x85\xff')" build/grub-pc/grub-core/*.mod | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | you know you're doomed when this is part of your debugging process | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | (probably wants LC_ALL=C) | 17:59 |
| ev | lol | 18:09 |
| cjwatson | interestingly, the first point where I'm seeing an error in the NTFS driver is inside loadfont | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | I'm wondering if bufio is 64-bit-unclean | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | though not *entirely* sure whether that would account for it yet | 18:17 |
