[13:16] <ASGR> hey guys. Is anyone aware of boot issues with iMac. specifically back-track KDE/64. when booting the process breaks and I'm presented with a blinking cursor at the boot: interface.
[16:26] <cjwatson> ev: I'm feeling like 'Implement "Continue my failed upgrade" in the installer using the /var/log/apt-clone' (desktop-p-improve-upgrade-experience) should probably be postponed at this point - what do you think?
[16:26] <cjwatson> it seems rather here-be-dragons
[16:26] <cjwatson> (nice though it would be)
[16:28] <cody-somerville> ev, Hey. Did you receive an e-mail from l.capriotti@xbmc.org with a question about Ubiquity?
[16:34] <cjwatson> ev: oh, maybe that was a sabdfl thing, hmm
[16:51] <ev> dragons
[16:51] <ev> big ones with sharp teeth
[16:51] <ev> though mvo would know better than I
[16:52] <ev> cody-somerville: we had an email exchange ages ago
[16:52] <ev> where ages is defined as november
[17:06] <cody-somerville> ev, He mentioned he sent you another one yesterday.
[17:09] <ev> The most recent one I have is actually 11/10/2011 (not November as originally stated)
[17:09] <ev> unless he sent it using a different address
[17:16] <cody-somerville> ev, hmm... Well, he is having an issue with a pink banner appearing instead of congratulations. He shared this picture with me: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/269/img0158iq.jpg/
[17:30] <ev> cody-somerville: they haven't set a GTK theme
[17:33] <cody-somerville> ev, I figured it was probably something like that. Thanks.
[18:07] <CIA-70> ubiquity: cjwatson * r5186 trunk/tests/ (7 files): PEP-8 import ordering in test suite.
[18:12] <ev> it warms the cockles of my heart to see another person diligently hacking away on the test suite :)
[18:14] <cjwatson> that was mostly just OCD :)
[20:24] <superm1> cody-somerville: saw something similar happen in mythbuntu ISOs a release or two ago.  best workaround was to set the GTK theme from casper
[21:21] <jenders> Hi folks, I'm creating a new partman-auto/expert_recipe for an 8.04/10.04 installation
[21:22] <jenders> and I'd like to use the same partitioning scheme in both releases but with a different $default_filesystem{ } for each
[21:22] <jenders> I'm trying to avoid creating two files, one for ext3 and one for ext4, 8.04 and 10.04 respectively
[21:23] <jenders> Using the <limits>::=<minimal size>_<priority>_<maximal size>_<parted fs>
[21:23] <jenders> declaration in my preseed
[21:25] <jenders> or to ask the question more concisely, how do i specify the default filesystem in an expert_recipe?
[21:25] <jenders> ;)
[21:27] <jenders> I have read partman-auto-recipe.txt over a dozen times
[21:27] <jenders> This really needs more documentation
[23:17] <cjwatson> jenders: it's probably easier to just independently preseed partman/default_filesystem to the default filesystem you want
[23:17] <cjwatson> oh, but that was added in jaunty
[23:17] <cjwatson> i.e. 9.04
[23:18] <cjwatson> so you can't use this approach for sharing a recipe between 8.04 and 10.04; sorry
[23:48] <jenders> thanks cjwatson
[23:48] <jenders> also, i hate to do this, but i just noticed partman/early_command
[23:49] <jenders> I may subvert partman entirely and just do my partioning manually and then instruct partman to leave the disk alone in >=10.04 (the first place i noticed partman/early_command existing)
[23:49] <jenders> it really /is/ a headache
[23:51] <jenders> cjwatson: is gpt support a planned feature in partman? I think libparted supports this
