cjwatsondoing a bit of hacking in order to update ubiquity, since archive.ubuntu.com mirroring seems busted (notified #is)01:37

=== CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK
evthanks for that09:12
CIA-7ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r348 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ (453 files in 7 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad.09:59
CIA-7ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu: evand * r349 ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 3910:13
evweird.11:42
evso nspluginwrapper can't find libGL.so.111:43
evwhen flashplugin-installer is run11:43
evif I run the same command in the chroot after it crashes and burns, it works fine11:43
evand ia32-libs seems to be doing the right thing with respect to creating the symlinks11:45
evugh, I hate bugs that take part of an install to reproduce, eats up too much time.11:45
* ev stops rambling11:45
cjwatsonthat sounds like the /etc/ld.so.conf.d problem11:46
* cjwatson hunts for a reference11:47
cjwatsonhttp://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/02/16/%23ubuntu-devel.txt11:48
* ev waits with bated breath11:48
cjwatsonsearch for the conversation between me and seb128 about libGL there, and try to ignore the false starts11:48
cjwatsonshould at least give you context11:48
evwow, I think you just saved me a few hours11:49
evthanks a bunch11:49
cjwatson[14:00] <cjwatson> you get to choose between:11:49
cjwatson[14:00] <cjwatson>  (1) artificial Depends: libgl1, to force the ldconfig cache to be brought up to date11:49
cjwatson[14:01] <cjwatson>  (2) artificial 'LDCONFIG_NOTRIGGER=y ldconfig' in libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0.postinst, to cope with the fact that the ldconfig cache may not be up to date11:49
cjwatsonmight be especially relevant but I haven't looked at nspluginwrapper/ia32-libs ...11:49
evright-o11:53
cjwatsonbugger, something is still broken with oem-config and language packs11:53
cjwatsonwell, maybe11:53
cjwatsonoh, I should try oem-config/install-language-support=true shouldn't I11:54
evso possibly a heads up11:57
evsomething is gobbling up memory in the desktop session11:57
evI keep thinking ubiquity is broken only to find the OOM killer did its thing11:57
evcjwatson: by the way, did you get to the bottom of the isolinux/localechooser issues?11:58
cjwatsonyeah, it turned out to be a kvm bug11:59
cjwatsonbug 74709012:00
evoh wow12:06
evreading through that now12:06
cjwatsonnot the expected outcome, indeed12:10
evwow, great find though12:14
genecpartitioning tool in ubuntu-11.04-beta1-desktop-i386.iso allows me to select to install grub2 to a btrfs single file system (sda1) and fails.  attempting to then select the parent (sda; MBR/reserved sectors) also fails (grub rescue).  Selecting sda first succeeds.12:29
cjwatsongenec: try a daily build - we've been fixing btrfs problems in grub since beta-112:29
genecI know the 110410 fails properly and brings you back to the typical Debian installer stage menu (uncertain on proper name)12:30
cjwatsonoh, I guess there might not be a current enough daily build with the last round of grub fixes12:31
cjwatsonbug 732149 is the main one I'm referring to12:31
genecsaw it12:31
cjwatsonI'll give that scenario a try (8th item on to-do list)12:31
genecas far as I can tell, grub2 refuses to install directly to a btrfs with an absurd reason.12:31
genecreading the source out of the bazaar tree12:32
cjwatsonplease keep the conversation strictly technical12:32
cjwatsonis it the "isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot" message?12:33
genec"btrfs filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot" when the first 64kiB are reserved for boot loaders (more than MBR/reserved sectors)12:33
cjwatsonyeah, that should be easy to fix, it's just a missing flag in a struct12:34
cjwatsoncan you please file a bug report on the Ubuntu grub2 package about this?12:34
genecabsolutely.12:34
cjwatsonthanks12:34
cjwatsonbumped up higher in to-do, next to a few other btrfs backports I want to do12:35
cjwatson(I'm working on bug 711926 at the moment)12:36
arand(following a discussion in +1) Does natty support btrfs+full disk encryption? Maverick seemed to do so, did maverick set up subvolumes in a similar manner that natty does, and if not, could this be what is causing issues?12:44
geneccjwatson: is there any tags you want me to add?  is there a tag that indicates it should go upstream to grub2?12:47
cjwatsongenec: don't worry, I'll take care of that12:48
geneccjwatson: bug 75744612:48
cjwatsonarand: maverick didn't do the subvolumes thing.  I don't know about btrfs + full-disk encryption - would need to see logs12:48
cjwatsongenec: thanks12:48
cjwatsonoh, full-disk encryption might confuse automatic addition of rootflags=subvol=@12:50
cjwatsonI can see how that might happen.  Probably not sanely fixable until such time as GRUB has its own LUKS support12:51
arandSo would it be possible that just adding that manually might boot a system?12:51
cjwatsonit's possible; I'm not certain12:51
geneccjwatson: if you need logs, I have the full /var/log directory as a tarball and can furnish select logs if needed.12:51
cjwatsongenec: I don't need logs in your case, thanks12:51
genecit appears grub2's btrfs support is mostly there.  I've been meaning to test this since alpha-2 was released12:53
evI'm amazed there's even an Isle of Man mirror... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/ubiquity/+bug/75166613:00
cjwatsonwildcard alias to archive.ubuntu.com :)13:02
cjwatson(zzzzz.archive.ubuntu.com exists, in the same way)13:02
evahh13:04
genecIn the interim, I created a new section at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs#Fresh%20Install%20on%2011.04-beta1%20Natty with a link to the bug13:16
CIA-7ubiquity: cjwatson * r4666 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-console-setup.py): Handle keyboard layouts with only one variant (LP: #711926).13:56

CIA-7ubiquity: (LP: #745137).14:30

arandcjwatson: Reported https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/757631 It seems like it is indeed only grub-probe not managing to detect btrfs correctly (again :) that is the sole issue..16:02
cjwatsonarand: my explanation above probably still holds.  We aren't likely to fix this for natty16:03
cjwatsonI'll add a release-notes task16:05
arandcjwatson: Ok, fair enough. As long as there a warning or so, although it can be argued that it shouldn't really be expected to work, but then again, if it did work in 10.10 it's worth noting.16:06
cjwatsongrub couldn't boot off btrfs in 10.1016:07
cjwatsonthough, OK, the subvolume thing is different16:08
cjwatsonI'll add a partman-btrfs task for the warning, but I can't promise to get to it for release - it seems like a fairly niche configuration TBH16:08
cjwatsonbut thanks for the report16:10
CIA-7ubiquity: evand * r4669 trunk/ (debian/changelog scripts/plugininstall.py):16:14
CIA-7ubiquity: Deal with the confirmation key being translated in jockey-text (LP:16:14
CIA-7ubiquity: #757208).16:14
CIA-7ubiquity: evand * r4670 trunk/debian/changelog: fix changelog16:14
bdmurraycjwatson: have you seen bug 683904?16:36
cjwatsonbdmurray: yes, but I was leaving it to mvo16:37
bdmurraycjwatson: okay, from his last comment it wasn't clear to me if he was still working on it16:38
cjwatsonI'm asking him16:38
cjwatsonI don't think I really have bandwidth to take it on, though16:44
cjwatsonev: are you working on anything in ubiquity at the moment?  we should upload for tomorrow's builds17:39
evnothing in particular.  The migration-assistant reuse option interaction is going to require a bit more thought, I've found a bug exposing an issue with the bootloader drop down, but that's not super-critical17:43
evso yeah, I'm happy to sort an upload17:43
evshall I?17:43
evor do you have things in the pipeline?17:43
cjwatsonnope17:43
cjwatsongo ahead17:43
evcool, on it now17:43
