| chris4585 | cjwatson, are you around? | 05:13 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | chris4585: yes | 09:56 |
| ev | ugh, the ubiquity panel is rendering as grey for unused space in the chinese edition daily | 11:32 |
| ev | I thought we fixed this | 11:32 |
| ev | o problem, of course | 11:32 |
| davmor2 | ev, cjwatson: nice there is a new iso this morning should wubi be okay on it? I thought I'd give it a try if I had time | 11:38 |
| cjwatson | yes, it should | 11:40 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: cool I'll let you know :) | 11:41 |
| ev | just tried wubi, actually | 11:43 |
| ev | was working fine for me in windows 7 | 11:43 |
| ev | hm, "try ubuntu" appears to be broken in the chinese edition | 11:44 |
| ev | not sure if that carries over to the regular Ubuntu, though one would assume so | 11:44 |
| ev | will have to check | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | the only change in the Chinese edition is "echo 'zh_CN' >isolinux/lang" | 11:45 |
| ev | so then yes :) | 11:49 |
| ev | damn | 11:50 |
| cjwatson | presumably, unless "try ubuntu" is locale-sensitive in some relevant way | 11:52 |
| davmor2 | ev: is it me or are the slides not moving very quickly on wubi? | 11:53 |
| cjwatson | I'm merging an upstream GRUB branch to add a 'grub-mount' utility; we should be able to use this (after fixups, etc.) to replace things that have to do delicate blockdev hacks | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | or at least to provide a safer form | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure we should rush to integrate it into d-i code in natty though, since it's late; my main focus at the moment is using it in os-prober | 11:55 |
| davmor2 | ev: at the end of that I got to slide 4 | 11:59 |
| ev | davmor2: are you using an SSD? | 12:01 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: is the secondary grub screen meant to show Windows? ie not the grub4win but the one that boots the Ubuntu kernel? | 12:01 |
| davmor2 | ev: nope standard base unit | 12:01 |
| ev | cjwatson: that's awesome! | 12:01 |
| davmor2 | ev: it's my all intel box | 12:01 |
| ev | davmor2: I was pondering that as well. It strikes me as confusing to show the grub menu when a selection has already been made in the NT bootloader | 12:02 |
| ev | I'm wondering if it makes sense to suppress adding Windows to the grub.cfg when in Wubi, given the order of thigns | 12:03 |
| ev | things* | 12:03 |
| ev | davmor2: I haven't noticed the slowness | 12:03 |
| ev | and that bit of javascript hasn't changed | 12:03 |
| davmor2 | ev: maybe it's just that it installed quicker being as it was on the HD then maybe | 12:04 |
| davmor2 | ev: normally from cd I get to the thank you slide | 12:04 |
| cjwatson | davmor2: it isn't harmful for it to do so | 12:05 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: Nope just odd I'll try and boot into it and see what happens | 12:06 |
| cjwatson | and it gives you an opportunity to interrupt and change options, which I think given the general state of Wubi is if anything *more* useful than normal | 12:06 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: indeed | 12:06 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: so choosing Windows from the second grub takes you back to grub4win again so that's not so bad | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | right, the nesting is purely presentational and doesn't actually correspond to the boot loader code being nested inside ntldr in some way | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | it's a jump rather than a call | 12:11 |
| cjwatson | so choosing Windows just jumps back | 12:11 |
| davmor2 | cjwatson: Yeah I thought it would be pointing at host which I thought might cause issues but that makes a lot of sense now. The whole oh bugger I clicked on Ubuntu I wanted windows oh windows option phew no need to reboot | 12:13 |
| CIA-7 | apt-setup: cjwatson * r212 ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs): | 12:41 |
| CIA-7 | apt-setup: Disable partner by default again (accidentally enabled in | 12:41 |
| CIA-7 | apt-setup: 1:0.48ubuntu1), and make sure that preseeding apt-setup/partner=true | 12:41 |
| CIA-7 | apt-setup: enables it (LP: #744982). | 12:41 |
| CIA-7 | apt-setup: cjwatson * r213 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1:0.49ubuntu4 | 12:41 |
| cjwatson | ev: looks like there's a fair bit of feedback on bug 745148 | 13:48 |
| ev | ah so there is | 13:54 |
| ev | thanks | 13:54 |
| CIA-7 | ubiquity: jriddell * r4652 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog gui/qt/images/squares.png): Update artwork gui/qt/images/squares.png | 14:29 |
| ev | cjwatson: what's your take on this size debate? | 14:47 |
| ev | Do you think double the size of the files in the squashfs is sufficient? | 14:47 |
| ev | the actual install guide says 5GB, this would put it at roughly 5.2 GB | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | I'm not sure I have one - I was hoping you would make a judgement call :-) | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | it obviously needs to have a bit of headroom, but 10GB (as suggested in the bug) feels a bit high to me since this is presented in the UI as a hard minimum | 14:52 |
| ev | I'd like to put it at double | 14:54 |
| ev | so 5.2 | 14:54 |
| ev | hard minimum> indeed | 14:54 |
| CIA-7 | ubiquity: evand * r4653 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py): | 14:59 |
| CIA-7 | ubiquity: Increase the minimum size of the Ubuntu install to be twice the size | 14:59 |
| CIA-7 | ubiquity: of the contents of the installation (roughly 5.2 GB) (LP: #745148). | 14:59 |
| ev | ugh, m-a newns trick isn't working | 16:20 |
| ev | seems to not be running under newns despite having the envar set | 16:21 |
| ev | bum, and now I can't reproduce that | 17:07 |
| ev | ah, the try ubuntu issue I was seeing before is a unity bug, I think | 17:19 |
| ev | yeah, it's compiz segfaulting in a loop | 17:19 |
| chris4585 | cjwatson, I'm pretty sure my data was not deleted, it was encrypted and I'm not too sure how to decrypt it | 18:53 |
