Wellarksigh.. Truecrypt would definitely need some love.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/84976007:52
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 849760 in debian-installer "alternate installer does not allow multiple partitions to have bootable flag "on"" [Undecided,New]07:52
Wellarkbut IMHO manual setup is more advanced and it should not restrict the number of bootable partitions07:53
Wellarkwhoa08:03
WellarkI'm trying to install from daily oneiric alternate amd64 and I get error "The installer cannot find a suitable kernel package to install" O.o08:03
Wellarkcjwatson: hmm.. proc is not mounted to /target/proc08:06
Wellarkshouldn't it be?08:06
=== lool- is now known as lool
Wellarkhmm.. more interestingly /target/etc/apt/suorces.list is empty08:35
Wellarkhmmh.. OK. I think I just got unlucky with the daily installer08:44
Wellarknow it screams that libreoffice-core has unmet dependencies08:44
Wellarkreverting to beta1 alternate installer08:47
cjwatsonWellark: yes, we fixed that apt/eglibc bug yesterday.  *sigh* at unmet dependencies, not much I can do except wait for libreoffice to finish building everywhere09:39
cjwatsonhm, that's odd actually, it has09:39
cjwatsonhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/report.html doesn't list anything09:39
* cjwatson syncs an alternate image09:40
Wellarkcjwatson: well, I'm going to try again, this time with beta1 CD10:19
WellarkI really need _some_ working system :D10:19
Wellarkof course this is all my fault as I want to stick with the windows installation and even make it more painful by adding truecrypt in the mix :D10:20

Wellarkcjwatson: OK, now installing with beta111:52
Wellarkgrub-install to /dev/sda3 fails11:52
Wellark"This is a fatal error"11:52
Wellarkhmm.. something wrong with the paths perhaps..11:53
Wellark"grub-installer: /usr/bin/grub-setup: error: cannot read '/grub/core.img' correctly.11:53
Wellarkshould be '/boot/grub/core.img'11:54
cjwatsonno.  that path is relative to the root of the filesystem in question11:54
cjwatsonyou have a separate /boot11:54
Wellarkyeah11:54
Wellarkand it's mounted11:54
cjwatsonirrelevant11:54
Wellarkok11:54
cjwatsongrub-setup uses grub's own filesystem code to read it11:54
Wellarkwhat do you need?11:54
cjwatsonthe appropriate grub-setup command run with -vv11:55
WellarkI'm in the installers shell right now11:55
Wellarkok, doing chroot11:55
cjwatsonyou'll probably want to run 'grub-install --debug --force /dev/sda3' first to get the right command'11:55
Wellarkrunning..11:55
cjwatsonand if /proc and /sys aren't mounted, mount them; they were mounted when running grub-install, they just may not be mounted now11:56
Wellarkthey are11:56
WellarkI checked11:56
Wellarkodd..11:56
Wellark"Installation finished. No error reported.11:56
Wellark+ exit011:56
cjwatsoncrappy cache coherency perhaps ...11:57
Wellark"/usr/bin/grub-setup: info: opening the core image '/boot/grub/core.img'11:57
cjwatsonI'll give it a go in a while and see if I can track anything down, can't right now though11:57
Wellarkare you absolutely sure that the '/grub/core.img' should be absolute of the boot partition and not absolute to the root?11:58
cjwatsonyes.11:58
cjwatsonI am also absolutely sure that trying to diagnose the problem based solely on a glance at the messages isn't going to work :-)11:59
Wellarknice. :-)11:59
Wellarkusefull debug XD11:59
cjwatsoncore_path_dev = grub_make_system_path_relative_to_its_root (core_path_dev_full);11:59
cjwatsonis fairly explicit (and that variable's what's printed in the error message you quoted earlier)11:59
cjwatsonwhile the "opening the core image" message is core_path, a different variable12:00
WellarkOK.12:01
WellarkI have to leave for an hour or so12:01
Wellarkbut I'll be back12:01
WellarkI'll leave the machine as it is for now12:01
Wellarkcjwatson: back. kinda.13:33
Wellarkhave to go to get child from daycare soon13:33
cjwatsonI expect to be in meetings for most of the rest of the day13:34
Wellarkok, I'll then  try to figure out something :)13:37
{Axxes}hi everyone! does anybody know wavemaker?14:20
evcjwatson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/830892 - why would you not be able to mix pycairo and GI bindings? pycairo doesn't seem to touch any part of gobject.14:23
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 830892 in ubiquity "ubiquity-dm crashed with AttributeError in run(): 'Pixbuf' object has no attribute 'render_pixmap_and_mask' (dup-of: 830061)" [High,Triaged]14:23
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 830061 in ubiquity "ubiquity-dm crashed with AttributeError in run(): 'Pixbuf' object has no attribute 'render_pixmap_and_mask'" [High,Fix released]14:23
cjwatsonev: we needed to pass bindings of cairo types to GDK functions, and the GI GDK bindings expect GI cairo bindings not pycairo14:25
cjwatsonor at least that's how it seemed to me14:25
cjwatsonif you find a clever way to dodge that then by all means do :)14:25
cjwatsonGdk.cairo_set_source_pixbuf in particular14:26
evah, right14:26
cjwatsonand I think root.create_similar_surface probably returned a GI cairo type14:26
evannoying that cairo doesn't do the hand me a filename and I'll feed you back an image surface thing14:26
cjwatsonyeah14:26
cjwatsonI think you're probably right that a little C helper is easiest :-/14:27
evindeed, I'll get cracking on that14:28

superm1ev, i think you might have broken the accessibility profile setup in that commit17:04
evoh yes17:05

evfixing now, thanks17:05
superm1sure np17:05
