[09:23] <ev> oh wow, thanks for fixing that! That's quite the long-standing bug.
[09:24] <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.
[09:25] <cjwatson> I suspect there were older instances of the bug - feel free to dup
[09:33] <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
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <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
[09:37] <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
[09:38] <ev> apparently someone should've held you down and made you sleep ;)
[09:41] <cjwatson> I was awake *anyway*
[09:43] <ev> :) if it comes back up, I'll be sure to mention that
[09:52] <cjwatson> not that I don't appreciate the concern
[09:54] <ev> of course
[12:44] <davmor2> ev: I thought the 4 px high ubiquty task bar was something that got fixed?
[12:51] <ev> not yet; in a meeting though
[12:58] <davmor2> ah nps
[13:32] <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
[13:35] <cjwatson> hm, I wonder if I can find the error message in memory
[13:37] <cjwatson> I'm making copious use of gdb's 'find' command to find functions in memory
[13:38] <cjwatson> and 'disas /r' and 'disas /rm' in another window
[13:41] <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)
[14:04] <ev> incidentally, have you played around with the python support in gdb?
[14:05] <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
[14:07] <ev> http://pycon.blip.tv/file/4877544/
[14:28] <cjwatson> not as yet no ...
[14:28]  * cjwatson saves that for later :)
[14:35] <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
[17:11] <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?
[17:13] <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)
[17:50] <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
[17:59] <cjwatson> (probably wants LC_ALL=C)
[18:09] <ev> lol
[18:15] <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
[18:17] <cjwatson> though not *entirely* sure whether that would account for it yet
[20:35] <relmoyd> I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my HP 110 netbook
[20:35] <relmoyd> The installation freezes at the 'Preparing to install' page
