araHello!08:34
araThere are more and more systems with hybrid graphics in the market (UMA + discrete)08:34
araAre there plans in the installer development to support this (i.e. switching between one or the other during installation time)08:35
ara?08:35
cjwatsonara: on the face of it, it doesn't sound like something an installer should concern itself with; better to keep it simple at installation time, and I don't think users would be surprised by the installer keeping it simple09:57
CIA-14ubiquity: cjwatson * r4763 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): Recreate .pyc modules excluded from the live filesystem.10:59
cjwatsonnow I suppose I have to finish fixing eglibc so that ubiquity can build :-/11:00
cjwatsonah, the package that actually needed to be updated was langpack-locales, not eglibc12:26
cjwatsonthat's nice since it might build in finite time12:26
CIA-14ubiquity: cjwatson * r4764 trunk/ (d-i/manifest debian/changelog):12:34
CIA-14ubiquity: Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer12:34
CIA-14ubiquity: 1.64ubuntu3, user-setup 1.28ubuntu16.12:34
ScottKev: I took a look at the ubiquity powerpc build failure and it seems like some locale change that I don't understand.  It replicates on i386 now, so it's only due to archive skew it only failed powerpc.12:55
evlovely12:55
evI'll have a look tomorrow (swamped in wubi framework investigation work today)12:56
ScottKThanks.12:56
cjwatsonScottK: that's what I was referring to above ...13:09
ScottKcjwatson: Oh.  I only skimmed the backscroll.  Missed it.13:10
cjwatsonI uploaded langpack-locales about three-quarters of an hour ago to fix it13:10
ScottKCool.13:10
* ScottK goes to look at the diff and maybe learn something.13:10
ScottK(the maybe is reflective of the odds of me learning, not their being something there to learn)13:11
cjwatsonthe changelog is probably the most informative bit ...13:13
CIA-14ubiquity: cjwatson * r4765 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.7.1013:56
seb128hi16:23
cjwatsonev: speaking of Wubi on #u-m - could you upgrade your build system to grub-pc-bin 1.99-8ubuntu1 and build wubi r220, please?16:23
evsure thing16:23
seb128so ubiquity seems some gconf to gsettings love, do you prefer one bug "port to gconf"16:23
evon it now16:23
evyes16:24
seb128or different bugs like "settings migration should migrate gconf datas as well" or "read http proxy key in the wrong database"16:24
seb128or "unactive automount using a deprecated way"16:24
seb128"port to gsettings" I meant ;-)16:25
ScottKWas there any benchmarking done to check if removing the .pyc files has an effect on how fast Ubiquity starts up/installs?16:30
cjwatsonno16:31
ScottKOK.  Thanks.16:31
cjwatsonI decided not to worry too much about that since (a) the space savings are so large and (b) I suspect that I/O will tend to dominate16:31
ScottKMakes sense.  I figured it was a have to do kind of change for the space savings.  Just a matter of curiosity.16:32
seb128cjwatson, any opinion on the bugs filing question?16:36
seb128or is that an ev's thing?16:36
seb128I would like to file those16:36
cjwatsonI actually didn't test a live filesystem without the .pyc files directly; I just modified ubiquity not to copy them in the bulk copy pass (since that was a lot quicker)16:36
cjwatsonseb128: whatever ev wants on this is fine by me16:36
evI think one giant bug is fine.16:37
evas long as it's detailed in what it's requesting16:37
seb128it's going to be mediumly-small don't worry ;-)16:37
seb128ev, ok, doing that16:37
seb128thanks16:37
evsure thing16:38
bdmurraycjwatson: I've quite a few grub2 apport-package bugs regarding '/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: /boot/grub/device.map:2: No open parenthesis found.'  Is that something already fixed or is there already a master bug for that?16:38
cjwatsonbdmurray: I've not heard of it16:41
cjwatsoncould be a local misconfiguration16:41
cjwatsonbug#?16:42
cjwatsonespecially one that has an example device.map attached :-)16:42
bdmurraybug 797065 (I'll have to look harder for a device.map one)16:42
ubot2Launchpad bug 797065 in grub2 "package linux-image-2.6.32-32-generic 2.6.32-32.62 failed to install/upgrade: post-installation script instalaturik azpiprozesuak 1 errorea eman du irteeran" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79706516:42
bdmurraycjwatson: okay not too hard don't see any attachments named *device*16:44
cjwatsonI've requested it16:52
cjwatsonand I'll modify grub2's apport hook to attach it too16:53
bdmurraycjwatson: I've some work to do on that anyway so could do it16:54
cjwatsonalready done :)16:55
bdmurrayah, great16:55
cjwatsonin Debian, anyway16:55
cjwatsonwill pick it up at the next upload/merge16:56
bdmurraybug 642290 is rather odd too - its an error regarding /etc/grub.d/README16:57
ubot2Launchpad bug 642290 in grub2 "package linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic 2.6.32-24.43 failed to install/upgrade: sub-processo script post-installation instalado retornou estado de saĆ­da de erro 2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64229016:57
cjwatsonbdmurray: incidentally, I notice that even though bug 797065 was apparently initially filed on grub2, grub2's apport hook doesn't seem to have taken effect16:57
ubot2Launchpad bug 797065 in grub2 "package linux-image-2.6.32-32-generic 2.6.32-32.62 failed to install/upgrade: post-installation script instalaturik azpiprozesuak 1 errorea eman du irteeran" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79706516:57
cjwatsonREADME> I thought I fixed that upstream ages ago16:58
bdmurraycjwatson: yes, I see that in the changelog now16:58
cjwatsonhuh, perhaps not16:58
cjwatsonoh yes, there it is16:58
bdmurraycjwatson: there is no grub apport hook in lucid16:59
cjwatsonah, ok16:59
cjwatsonI'll close out 64229016:59
bdmurraythere are many more like that which I'll take care of16:59
cjwatsonthat's odd, it was supposed to have been fixed in lucid17:00
seb128ev, cjwatson: bug #80076017:00
ubot2Launchpad bug 800760 in ubiquity "Needs gconf to gsettings updates" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80076017:00
cjwatsonperhaps some kind of local weirdness - anyway I gave a workaround17:01
cjwatsonor maybe I got the patch wrwong in lucid somehow17:01
seb128ev, cjwatson: I've dumped notes on what I found with a grep gconf in the current ubiquity sources, I will update the bug during the cycle if,when desktop side change or if I get other comments17:01
bdmurraycjwatson: its too bad that at least 642290 doesn't have the grub package version in it17:03
evseb128: thanks for the attention to detail on that! Very much appreciated17:03
seb128ev, yw ;-)17:03
cjwatsonbdmurray: agreed17:16
evnew wubi is up17:28
bdmurraycjwatson: it seems to me the fix isn't in grub2 in lucid-updates17:32
bdmurrayhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/grub2/lucid-updates/view/head:/util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in#L12917:32
cjwatsonbdmurray: look in debian/patches/972_ignore_grub.d_README.diff17:37
cjwatsonit wasn't upstream at the time lucid was released17:37
cjwatsonev: thanks17:37
bdmurrayah, got it17:38
bdmurraycjwatson: regarding the grub apport hook there is a request to have /etc/default/grub to plymouth bug reports - so I was planning on moving some of the grub hook to apport itself.  Does that seem reasonable?19:28
cjwatsonbdmurray: hmm, maybe have it in both with the same keys - I'd like it to be obvious that the grub one is freestanding to some extent21:07
cjwatsonif that makes sense21:07
bdmurraycjwatson: I was looking at the _atach_file_filtered function in particular and only that21:25
bdmurraycjwatson: additionally it looks to me like /etc/default/grub just gets added to the report if it is invalid22:41
cjwatsonhow so?22:51
cjwatsonEtcDefaultGrub should be added either way22:52
cjwatsonInvalidGrubScript is a separate thing, largely intended for doing some kind of pre-reporting UI in the future22:52
TheMusoev: How far along is the pygobject port? I am just wondering whether I should base my a11y work on that branch.22:54
TheMusoIn the meantime, I'll use trunk22:54
bdmurraycjwatson:23:34
bdmurray        if not check_shell_syntax('/etc/default/grub'):23:34
bdmurray            invalid_grub_script.append('/etc/default/grub')23:34
bdmurrayso its just adding without going through _attach_file_filtered right()?23:34
cjwatsonno, that's preparing the value that goes into InvalidGrubScript, see above23:39
cjwatsonentirely different key23:39
cjwatsonEtcDefaultGrub is added before any of that stuff23:39
bdmurrayI see its adding the string '/etc/default/grub' not the contents23:46
cjwatsonyes, the (future) purpose of InvalidGrubScript is to display UI saying "these files are in an invalid syntax [list] so you probably stuffed it up locally" or some such23:48
cjwatsonfor now it's something we can scan bugs for23:48
cjwatsonat least I assume that's the idea, I think jibel wrote it23:49
cjwatsonand it's only in >= natty23:49
